unusual things I’m thankful for

I’m thankful for:
- Reasonably priced organic green tea from Whole Foods
- my community’s bus and public transportation so I can at least read during my commute
- Walk Fit
- Dr. Natura
- Jay McInerney
- Napoleon Hill
- 01.20.09
- the Dolphins and Steelers (to explain: I am a Jets fan)
- I’m not allergic to sunflower seeds
- the waterfront walkway in my community
- cheap and plentiful seltzer
- discovering the benefits of a raw food diet even though I am having a lot of trouble sticking to it and Thanksgiving will be the anti-raw food day…
- electric screwdrivers
- WordPress
- consulting work
- Netflix (I know, I’m sorry, I know I shouldn’t, but I do)
And of course, more important things:
- blog readers
- blog commentators
- the blog community
- high speed internet
And the most important things:
- my health and the health of my loved ones
- my friends
- my family
- my Bubelah, мое сердце
- my Little Buddy and his little brother/sister to come!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Have a great Thanksgiving, Steve.
I’m with you on the screwdrivers…
what happened on 01.20.09 ? wedding?
Jan 20th, 2009 marks the start of a new American presidency.
Haha, I was reading it Sep 20, 2001.
I understand the Dolphins, but I don’t get why you’d be thankful for the Steelers. It’s still early in today’s game, but it’s not looking good for your guys. I’m rooting for you as well.
@Lazy Man: Well, we beat the Steelers last week. The Cowboys were another matter entirely… argh.
@Fecundity, Four Pillars: thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! Yeah, 01.20.09 is becoming a bit of a “meme” for bumper stickers and whatnot around my (rather liberal) area. I think almost everyone in the US, regardless of politics, is ready for a change.
Steve: I’ve seen T-shirts up here as well, although they either spell the date out or write it as 20/01/07.
Pretty much everyone outside the US is ready for a change too, I believe.
Er, 20/01/09. Whatever.
I have to admit that I don’t like the organic green tea from Whole Foods. I think the tea is bitter…I’m a fan of the offerings at Trader Joe’s…
@Saving Diva: I haven’t tried Trader Joe’s, although we have one opening up near us soon. I’ll give it a shot. Main thing is organic, because for a long time I was drinking non-organic tea simply because organic was so pricey. It’s more the cost than the taste….
