Ok, I’m not the happy holiday type gal. It’s just not in my nature to get into the giddie-ness of the season.
I think it’s all over commercialized and truly just a big bunch of money-makin crap.
That said, as I try to make my rounds to the blogs I stalk on a regular basis… there are some of them that have listed things that they are thankful for.
So, regardless of my disdain for the holiday season as a whole, I’ve really had no choice but to reflect on things that I have to be thankful for.
And heeeere we go.
– Family. I have 2 kids, Big T has 2 kids…. that equals 4, plus one grandbaby. It’s taken me well over a year to adjust to having the new additions to my life, and it’s not been all that easy on my children either… but somehow we’ve made it work.
– Friends. Without them, life would be obnoxiously boring. Hollyrock and Mario are my best friends in the world and I love them with all of my little heart.
– James Bond. Without the James Bond marathon and football (BTW the VOLS blow) Thanksgiving wouldn’t be the same. I’ve watched the Bond-a-thon on Turkey day with my Dad since I was a kid. And I don’t give a rat’s ass what anybody says, Roger Moore is, in fact, the best Bond.
Most excellent Bond flicks, in no particular order….
Live and Let Die, View to A Kill, Diamonds Are Forever, You Only Live Twice, Goldfinger…. and I gots ’em all on VHS cuz I’m all hi-tech and shit.
– Karaoke. Oh yah, Babe.
There’s nothing that entertains me more than a night out drinkin and singin some ridiculously cheesy songs. Nothing.
Piss on a bunch of American Idol. They’re all just glorified karaoke singers. And Simon is an evil troll…
I’m so sucked in by listening to myself make all kinds of noise that Big T went and bought me a super-deee-dooper system for the house. Complete with my very own Diva microphone stand.
It’s not that I’m all that good… til I’ve had a few beers and then a few more beers… then I’m damn good. Heh.
I thankful for lots of stuff. I really am. But to list them would take too long, so I covered the highlights.
I know you people have Turkey to eat and football to watch!
So, take it easy. Save some food for tomorrow and do it all over again.
Love to all y’all and yours.
