Laurie's Thankful List
As I write this, the long Thanksgiving weekend is coming to a close. Sitting in traffic going to the big family dinner gave me plenty of time for reflection, so below please find my very own What I am Thankful For List:
1. My college student bringing home only two gigantic stuffed laundry bags and not, say, the entire combined wardrobes of all his frat brothers.
2. Individual family iPods for the barely moving parking lot-like trip to Turkey Dinner.
3. My refrigerator being a No Tempting Leftovers Zone, thanks to my passing the hosting duties to my sister for the first time in five years.
4. My successful avoidance of any place of commerce on Black Friday thanks to the miracle of the Internet.
5. That I wasn't home on Saturday morning when a hawk crashed through our (closed) kitchen window. Yup, you read that right. To be continued...the whole incident deserves its own separate future post.
Hope your holiday weekend was similarly filled with family, friends, food, and festivities (and not scary flying feathered visitors). And now? I return you to my regularly scheduled life.
PS: So what were you thankful for over the long weekend?
