Well, I don’t have too many traditions here at Laineyd.com (does my annual post about Xmas music count?), but one thing I like to do is talk about what I’m thankful for. Yes, it is an original concept, and yes, you are welcome to steal it. (Ha).<\/p>\n
I am thankful that I have a wonderful husband. It’s been a difficult year for both of us (not the marriage part, per se), but I think things are looking up.<\/p>\n
I am thankful for my family, none of whom I will see on Thanksgiving. (I may see the inlaws on Christmas, which is a WHOLE OTHER TOPIC – RRRRRGH)<\/p>\n
I am thankful I have a home to live in. I love our house and I really hope we never have to move.<\/p>\n
I am thankful I have two rotten beagles who keep my feet warm (we have been lax about making the dogs sleep in the kitchen since vacation) and I am thankful I have White Dog to help me travel the world from my living room.<\/p>\n
I am thankful I have good friends who make me laugh.<\/p>\n
I am thankful I have an ob\/gyn who will phone in a prescription for Round 4 of Clomid (yesss! Back on the crazy train!).<\/p>\n
I am thankful in a thousand different ways that I am home in America instead of away in Malaysia. More on that topic later.<\/p>\n
I am thankful that I still have a job. It’s been touch and go lately (and I think the feeling is mutual, although it helps that Gwen would rather not do my job and I think D would quit first) but hell, one of the paychecks coming to the office on Friday is my own. I like getting paid, if being independently wealthy is not an option.<\/p>\n
And finally, I am thankful that the shitty Muzak at work doesn’t start with the relentless Xmas music until Monday.<\/p>\n
