As I sit here on my sister’s couch, watching football with her, as her husband fetches and cooks, I come across that rare realization that all is right with the world.  I’m where I want to be with the people I want to be with, doing what I want to do.  And therefore, I would like to present to you my list of what I’m Thankful for this gluttonous holiday.

(Side note: I’m gonna skip over family and friends, because, yeah, they’re handy, and obviously I’m thankful for them.  But this list is for what I’m TRULY thankful for.)

1.  A solid internet connection.  Too often I find myself in the land of No Wifi, and the withdrawal symptoms are ugly and painful.   It hurts me.  It hurts me to my core.

2.  That the Muppets exist.   Specifically, that they exist doing this:

3. Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans.  I may have won only three games so far in my fantasy football league, ranking me second to last, but Chris Johnson is the reason I managed to win those three games.

4. That my 4-year-old niece knows all the words to “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” thanks to Beatles Rockband.  I now have hope for future generations.

5. That my third book, The Summer of You, will be released in April 2010 (*cough* shameless plug*cough*)

And lastly…

6.That Thanksgiving calories don’t count.

7. … they don’t, right?

Happy thanksgiving, happy reading everyone, and be sure to be thankful for the important stuff!
