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 seltzericon
  • 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.

  2. FourPillars says:

    I’m with you on the screwdrivers…

    what happened on 01.20.09 ? wedding?

  3. Fecundity says:

    Jan 20th, 2009 marks the start of a new American presidency.

  4. Lazy Man says:

    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.

  5. FourPillars says:

    Haha, I was reading it Sep 20, 2001.

  6. Steve says:

    @Lazy Man: Well, we beat the Steelers last week. The Cowboys were another matter entirely… argh.

  7. Steve says:

    @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.

  8. Fecundity says:

    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.

  9. Fecundity says:

    Er, 20/01/09. Whatever.

    @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….

  11. SavingDiva says:

    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…
