Thankful List

Currently, we are in the middle of the holiday season.

Were you aware?

Oh ok, just making sure.

Thanksgiving is the time of year when people reflect and share their blessings. In the past I've dedicated a post to all my blessings. These post usually consist of the same things...my parents, The Sisters, my running shoes, Delta Airlines, Starbucks, Judy Jazzercise, Monday Night TV, and Little Shuffle.

However this year I have something new to add to my blessings list.

Blogger World, this is a picture of the dessert cart at the Thunder games.

I am thankful for the dessert cart at the Thunder games.

There I said it.

Hello?

I'm happy to see that my absence has worried no one! Good grief, I thought we were better friends. I mean for all you know, I've been lost in NYC or surfing in Hawaii. You never know with me! In fact, part of my absence is due to being on a trip. Yes, I went on a trip. I spent 5 days in the woods. Well not necessarily the woods, more like a cow pasture. But that's not important. What is important is....

I slept in this for 5 days...

I learned how to cook out of this...

I also learned how to set a hog trap and make bullets. However, I'll save those stories for another time. I feel the first two points are enough for now.

The above picture isn't the best picture of us. Actually, it's a horrible picture of me! We took this picture while in Philly, after we'd consumed three desserts. Let me see if I can do better....

Yes, that is a better picture.

3. Happy Day of the Dead! Today, the Mexican holiday is celebrated. If you are in Mexico right now, I should warn you all banks are closed.  

4. According to some random website, one of the most popular treats given out on Halloween (2012) was Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
