Today officially kicks off the holiday season. Are you ready? I’m sure not!
Today is also a day of thanks. To be honest, I’m really thankful 2008 is almost over. This has been a rough year for me.
I have a lot of other things to be grateful for though.
I’m thankful my dad is still as healthy as can be. That my dog, Princess, lived a long, happy life. I’m so thankful for the past 5 years with William. I couldn’t imagine my life without him – he was my lover, best friend, go-to guy. He’s my person and always will be. I’m thankful for his family. I love them. I’m thankful I brought a little 7 pound ball of fluff and ears home in February. Who knew a puppy can bring so much light into someone’s life? I’m thankful for friends, both real life and internet. I couldn’t have survived this past year without you. I’m thankful Stephanie Meyers wrote a dumb book about vampires, they were a distraction I surely needed. I’m thankful change is coming. I’m thankful I found my place and scored an internship where I’ll be able to grow and develop.
Most of all, as much of a mess this year has been so far, I’m thankful I still have hope.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Eat those leftovers tomorrow and throw in a moistmaker.

Seeee, that scene is based off of me. All I eat are thanksgiving leftovers for the next week or so and when I run out it is a TRAGEDY. I go…mental.
Don’t touch my food!!!

I feel like I’ve been reading across the board that 2008 was a rough year for a lot of people (and I’ll drink to that). Here’s to things looking “up” and Happy Thanksgiving!

I totally went out and bought Twilight on Black Friday. After I swore I wasn’t going to read it. I’m starting it today. I’m probably going to hate myself for it!
