Seven things I am thankful for today:
- Spending the entire day with my family.
- Playing a Madden 2002 Tournament with Ryan and Nolan, which I lost. Badly.
- The way Nolan puts his hand on my shoulder every time he is standing near me
- 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)
- Anne coming outside, sitting on the ground, and getting grass stains on her butt while I mowed the back yard
- Nolan and Ryan laughing hysterically at my re-creation, from memory, of “Space Madness” while we ate dinner
- Super Collossal Brownie Sundaes(tm) for dessert.

You’re thankful for LOSING Madden 2002? If it was me, I would seriously consider performing hara-kiri. At least it’s less painful and quicker, to boot.
No, I’m thankful that I got to play a serious tournament with my step-kids.
I don’t care about winning, ever.
Unless I’m playing Coutner-Strike against those guys at work, who use the aimbot.
Bastards.
In no particular order…
> By removing Internet Explorer from MacOS X, I haven’t experienced any crashes for several weeks on my iBook;
> That my folks, though not in the greatest of health, are still around to talk to when I need them;
> It hasn’t snowed very much this year;
> I’m actually limiting my intake of desserts;
> My taxes were easy to figure (alas, no refund);
> Saturday Night Live isn’t on again this week;
> Dill Havarti is available in the USofA.

6. Olympic hockey
7. Reading and sharing thoughts and memories about Chuck Jones and various Looney Tunes cartoons. That brought back some memories.
I am thankful

5) Dry erase markers. I love them. I love the entire dry erase concept. I hate chalk.
6) Children. They never fail to make me smile and glad that I do what I do.

So how many people got wasted playing the WWDN drinking game to THIS one?
I love this website. I really do. I just got back from hanging out with some really great friends and I am totally intoxicated… (this is taking forever for me to write cuz i keep hitting the wrong buttons) … my list would have alcohol and my great friends on it, but i couldn’t probably manage with the actual numbers. does that make any sense? i dunno. but i love this website (reminiscent of the times when you’re drunk and say “I love you, man!”) so yeah. thats all. i’m going to pass out now.
Ok, WWDN drinking game?
I HATE missing things. Goddammit.
– bagels and cream cheese
– living in da USA. Life ain’t too bad here.
– Ewan MacGregor’s bottom
– hugs
– movies so crappy they’re silly
– water
– technology that works
Never mind, found the drinking game.
I can’t read.
