50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

Seven things I am thankful for today:

  1. Spending the entire day with my family.
  2. Playing a Madden 2002 Tournament with Ryan and Nolan, which I lost. Badly.
  3. The way Nolan puts his hand on my shoulder every time he is standing near me
  4. The way Ferris sits at my feet, and looks up at me, waiting for attention (instead of chewing the hell out of [important thing], like she did as recently as a few weeks ago)
  5. Anne coming outside, sitting on the ground, and getting grass stains on her butt while I mowed the back yard
  6. Nolan and Ryan laughing hysterically at my re-creation, from memory, of “Space Madness” while we ate dinner
  7. Super Collossal Brownie Sundaes(tm) for dessert.

    1. Jerry and Charlie O’Connell *damn!* and repeat episodes of “Sliders”.
    2. A boyfriend who understands my girlish crushes on cute sci-fi actors.
    3. My brother, who will always be the stinkiest boy in the world — but the coolest.
    4. Mike Oldfield, Angus Young, Slash, Flea, and a dad who knows who they are.
    5. The Wal-Mart Supercenter that just opened up down the street.
    6. Dilbert, Garfield, and Fuzzy Logic.
    7. The fact that I’m allowed to take calls from angry customers in any voice I want…
    8. Gatlinburg, TN in the fall and winter.
    9. Chocolate milk and Mel Brooks movies.
    10. The ability to vent anonymously through http://www.techcomedy.com.
    Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a sudden craving for one of those sundaes…

    Do I have to think of seven.
    1 That I won’t have to live with Dale either next semester.
    2 For my wonderful Fiance
    3 Spring break in two weeks and I can see my man.
    4 Physics and Chemistry no matter how much they annoy me.
    5 A job since my man has none and it worries the crap out of me.
    6 My engagement ring
    7 Stephen King because he writes good books.

    Patti, honey, if he ain’t got a job, don’t marry him until he gets one! I understand that this sort of thing happens to lots of people and it’s not their fault, but also there are people like my friend Helen. For two years she has worked 2 jobs while her husband sat at home on the couch, not even looking for a job. He watches tv while she busts her ass to support him and two boys, and he will not even look after the boys after school while she is at work. So make sure you look after yourself.
    I know, none of my business, and he could be a perfectly decent guy who’s really looking for a job and is just having a tough time. (I hope so, and I wish you both luck.) I just can’t help being nosy.
