Thankful (perhaps also thirsty?) Thursday
Posted by AllieB on November 4, 2010
It occurred to me this morning, as I huffed and puffed my way into the QuikTrip on nothing but mere fumes, that I have much to be thankful for. Not only did I not run out of gas en route, but there was a pump sitting wide open just as I pulled in. Anyone who’s been to the QT on Sidney Marcus knows that, no matter what time of day, that place is a total cluster. In addition, while the weather is totally fug, we can all console ourselves with the fact that today is Thursday, thus tomorrow is Friday….things are lookin’ up!
Today, I am especially thankful for the following things:
- My mom and dad and two sisters and Missy – The Baxter Fam
- Hand-me-downs from friends (Sister, you’re going to be very jealous when you see what I’ve done with the articles you bequeathed me…)
- The Today Show
- Fried goods from The Ivy
- Red wine
- Leila’s living room and DVR
- Wa-Wa, Sadie, Scout, Belle, Bodhi, Rambo, Mac, Tucker, Bear, Moose, Boone, Libby, Jackson…and any other pup I happen to have occasion to interact with
- Ramen
- Screw-top wine (esp the one I mentioned here)
- Cee-Lo’s F*ck You – also, the exciting information that Gwyneth Paltrow is going to be performing the radio version, Forget You, on Glee…it could be awesome, or it could be astronomically awkward
- Fellini’s
- Fellini’s Italian Dressing
- That I only have one shin splint when I could just as easily have two
- The Serve
- Ben & Jerry’s Choc Chip Cookie Dough – pedestrian, I know, but amazing in its simplicity
- Little Bangkok
- Creating collages on Picasa
- Bill Go Big Time
- David Beckham
- Devil Wears Prada – Comcast must think I’m a total doofus, I rent it at least 3x/month…newsflash: buy the DVD
- Friends the TV show
- That even though Sex and the City 2 very nearly killed me, there are still six fabulous seasons for me to watch over and over again
- Self-checkout at Publix and WF
- Backroads
- My wonderful friends whom I love a lot and bring me great happiness, each and every day..
Seriously – I recommend taking a second and making your own list of things you are thankful for. It doesn’t have to be cheesy (cheese! I forgot I am thankful for cheese), but it can offer a refreshing perspective that we can all benefit from…bottom line – we’ve all got it pretty good, and there are a lot of people who don’t.
Ok, I am stepping down from my high horse. Baxter, out.
Scout Pendergrast Duffey, age: PUPPY!!! I am very thankful for puppies
#26. I am VERY THANKFUL for this new go-to dance move (credit: Sister Pantalones). I can’t stop watching, you don’t even need sound. Holy wow.

I’ll pay good money to see that dance move the next time I see you.

A few thoughts:
10) I think we can safely assume Totally Awk
13) Wouldn’t having two require symmetry and by default coordination?
23) But NOT, I am guessing, the department store in France
and of course
1) Love you too Sistie!!!

Did our Tuesday g-chat session give a bit of inspiration for this?
