merry spanksgivoweenzakah! or something like that!

some things that made me smile today:

1) seeing my aunt and uncle from california having a snowball fight in the back yard. he won.
2) seeing my cousins who were under the age of four when i saw them last. now they are up to
my shoulder... except for the three year old.
3) hearing my mother do her screaming laugh and praying to God that people aren't serious
when they say i laugh just like her. :) i pray God be gracious for the sake of those around me.
4) jbox texting me that there is a wallace and gromit video game for playstation 2. sweet!
5) listening to my dad, grandpa, and two uncle's, be talcott men and watching my mom and
aunt's responses.
6) copying all my mom's christmas music unto george, my laptop. yeah, perry como/roger
whittaker!
7) seeing snow, while being in chicago and knowing that i'm not responsible for shoveling any
of it!
8) listening to my aunt's share advice for being married to this family. :) very enlightening...
9) seeing my sisters orange hair... okay, it didn't make me smile. i actually rolled my eyes and
got pretty irritated that my family lets her look that way. i just needed to comment on it...
10) and finally: hmmm..... i guess i don't really have an "and finally!" so this must be where i say
that i'm thankful for all my friends, and i will stand by them until the end!
happy thanksgiving, everyone!
