Things to be Thankful For....

I am thankful that my dad is still here!! I am thankful that my mom just got eyelid surgery, and that it has now given me the strength and courage to do it one day myself. I am thankful that Ryder doesn't seem to have a serious illness, but merely a long long long long long long long long long long long long long allergy/asthma/cold/flu/cough/bacterial/viral/ear infection/sinus infection thing going on- i mean, at least he doesn't have cancer or autism. I am thankful that my husband's family is trying to be strong through really shitty times. I am thankful that my husband is freakishly tall- I mean, I won't lie, that comes in handy. I am thankful for Ryder. I am thankful for Loehmann's. I am thankful that my husband can cook, and likes to cook. I am thankful that we both have jobs. I am thankful that we have a house, two cars, a roof over our heads, and food to eat. I am thankful that MA is thankful that there are things such as butter and salt. I am thankful for Blue, cause he takes pride in terrorizing MA and AK- and it just makes me laugh. I'm thankful that there is such a thing called laughing. I am thankful for my psychic abilities. I am thankful that my friends are healthy, and their families are healthy. I am thankful for the Sound of Music. I am thankful for the sound of music. I am thankful for Johnny Depp. I am thankful for RadioHead and Britney Spears. I am thankful for suits and ties, cause men can look HOT in them, no matter how dumb they are. I am thankful for my iPhone and my Nikon D50. I am thankful for my fireplace (although not today, it's 65 degrees outside- balmy for Thanksgiving). I am thankful that I can read- hey- don't ever take that one for granted, that would just suck if you couldn't read this). I am thankful for the beach, the mountains, the trees, the grass, and the sky. I am thankful for that crazy little thing called love. I am thankful for Ryder's godparents. I am thankful for the ability to dream. I am thankful for freedom. I am thankful for faith, for without faith, there would be no believing. Without believing, there would be no hope. And without hope, there would be no tomorrow. And without tomorrow, there would be no today. And without today, well- hell! What is there???

I am thankful for all of these things. And we're thankful for YOU.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I am also very, very, especially, thankful that my son still can see out of both eyes.

It's Britney, Bitch!

I LOVE the album!!

The music isn't anything to write home about,

and its probably even a little forgettable- but its what Brit does best.

It just simply makes you want to get up and dance,

dance like you used to, pre-baby.

Dance like you used to, with backless halter tops.

Dance like you used to, with all your girlfriends- drink in one hand, smoke in the other.

Dance like you were the shit. Dance like you weighed 110 pounds....

Dance like you knew someone was watching.

Dance like you spent hours putting body glitter all over your arms, chest, and face.

Dance like you did when you were on top of a bar table.

Dance like you were on a mission to take HIM home.

Dance with your eyes closed, arms in the air....

We've all been there.

You know what I'm talkin' about.

Have a listen to the track "Heaven on Earth".

And try not to move. Just try.

Try not to tap your feet, try not to move your head. Try not to smile.

Just try to sit still.

I dare you!

I love Britney Spears.
