The fact that I can count on the annual friends Thanksgiving. It's so nice to see everyone in one place just having a great time. We're all so busy throughout the year, but there is always Thanksgiving!

I am also looking forward to rocking out to some Rock Band following my binge!

To have my husband as my true family! Because those other folks don't count because I didn't pick them. And I'm very thankful to have survived the layoffs.

It's been a rough year for me, but I'm thankful I'm not spending Thanksgiving alone, and that I have a roof over my head. It's the most simple things that we are really lucky to have in life.

I'll tell you what I am thankful for, two chicks at one time.

I'm happy to have ended up in a cool city, with a cool girlfriend and a pretty cool job. This year has been a whirlwind.

That she could have flat-out said no, but she didn't. So there's still a chance...

And I'm thankful Daniel knows a cool city when he sees one... :)

I am thankful to have known love this year.

At the risk of sounding cliche, I am thankful my family, my job, my health. I know too many people who have lost one or more of all those things this year.

I am thankful for finding a new job that I enjoy, marrying a guy who makes me happier than I've ever been, having a family that I love (even when they drive me nuts), and the hilarious hivemind that is shared amongst me and my friends.

new this week - keyboard, speakers, ability to breathe.

Finding my mate, and the bonus is that his family is supernice. Though being more traditional is making me itchy. Also, figuring out the root of a pesky health problem. And awesome friends. Comfy home. Lovely cat. And my super sis.

Lots and lots to be thankful for.

I lost a lot this year- job, apartment, friends- moved cross country. And even though I'm homesick, I'm thankful I found a place to stay and a job. For a while there, I was worried I'd be homeless and go nuts. I'm lucky I have my sisters and my Mom, and also my friends who were so supportive of me---and of course, Mr. M, the most mysterious yet amazing cat ever.

schweppy is thankful for the american indians for letting us have their country.

sarah / November 26, 2008 9:09 PM

I'm thankful that my friend's dilemma is over and she can move on, that the wedding planning is behind us and the thank you notes are almost finished, that I have a pretty great boss even though my job sucks sometimes, that I have a great partner who is understanding most of the time. That I didn't lose my mind this year. That I'm trying to improve myself and it seems to be working. Also, that my family and friends are healthy.

PMan / November 27, 2008 11:43 AM

Spending last night with the new girl. I didn't get much sleep, and I may fall asleep in the mashed potatoes, but I'll be thinking about her.

Details, please. / November 27, 2008 8:05 PM

I would be thankful if PMan would give some (lots) of details.

Carrie / November 28, 2008 1:04 PM

I'm also thankful that I have a job, a roof over my head, a great boyfriend. I'm thankful I found a good person to rent out my place. I'm thankful that mine and the bf's cats are almost bff. I'm thankful that I have a great sister and an awesome relationship with her. And I'm thankful that Obama ran a good campaign, got lots of people out to vote and won.

PMan / November 30, 2008 1:20 PM

Details, please:

OK,

I didn't fall asleep in the mashed potatoes, but I barely said a word. The turkey was dry, but they served ham too, and I had a bunch of that.
