Sorry...I had to take a night off. All those scary places we visited last month wore me out. I hope everyone has recovered from their candy comas, because now it's time to get ready for Thanksgiving. So in the spirit of gratitude, I will be providing a list of what I'm thankful for. But this is me we're talking about here, so you know it's not going to be some overly-sentimental, heartfelt list. No way. Not my style. I proudly present my snarky thankful list.
1. I'm thankful my husband gets paid jack crap. We totally understand his boss has 6 houses to pay for, so when he tells us he can't afford to pay us more, we happily tell him to keep the money...he obviously needs it more than we do. Besides, we don't enjoy eating. In fact, we've been meaning to stop.
2. I'm thankful for the jack wagon who broke into my car, busted out my window and stole, of all things.....my make up case of hot rollers. That's right. The rollers I had just taken out of my hair. They thought it was a purse of some kind and took it figuring they would find some money. AHAHAHAHA!! If they had read the #1 thing I'm thankful for, they would've saved themselves a lot of trouble! So, for the best laugh I've had in quite some time, I express my most sincere thanks. Except for one teeny tiny minor detail - I didn't find it so funny.
3. I'm thankful that my husband's car battery died and we were blessed with the privilege of replacing that when the #2 thing I'm grateful for occured. That was a bonzer week end, let me tell you...
4. I'm thankful we were given the highest honor of owing the state of Utah $900 in taxes this year. That was some fun! We need to make this a tradition. Again, like Rob's boss, we totally understand they need it far worse than we do, so we were happy to do our part. I bet the State of Utah took a Carribean Cruise and laughed at us as they sailed by. Our money is in capable hands....thank goodness they aren't spending it on education or healthcare, so for that I am truly thankful...
I know there will be other things to come along that I can be snarky and not so thankful for, so don't worry. And of course there's always the laundry and dishes. I mean, really...who isn't thankful for the opportunity to do unlimited loads of dishes and laundry for unappreciative family members? But there was a small moment of joy today. I got to treat myself to clean sheets. Wow. I can hardly contain myself...please excuse me.
*footnote*
In all seriousness, I would like to thank my parents for bailing us out more than once this year. They paid our taxes so we could be spared the experience of being thankful to the state of Utah for coming after us and shooting us. They even paid for some car repairs. Never mind the countless times they've bought me lunch, just so I wouldn't be left out .
For my parents, I can honestly say, I truly am thankful.....
