Being thankful
Hello all and happy holiday!
Well let us just talk about the morning yours truly has, very thankfully survived. I woke up this morning on a couch at Andy's house (thanks to my wonderful internal clock) at 7:15 am. Which I think will tell you about the quality of fun had by all at Mexicana '05 last night. Of course Kevin was supposed to wake me up at Six am which was the time he and Austin had to be up for... LOL Don't worry Kevin I didn't really expect you to wake me up, I just wanted to make a point of it.
So anyway, I go upstairs and there's my car, covered in the same snow that's covering everything!!! Anyone out there ever drive a Ford Thunderbird in the snow? It's a lot less fun than feety pajamas in the kitchen I'll tell you that much. A few slides here and there no big deal... Just getting onto rt. 295 and zzzzzip spun right around facing the on ramp.... Took me a few minutes to turn a round in the middle of the highway.. yay... Mack trucks... yay...Ahem...
Get home and take Professor out for a quick jaunt in the snow. That's when I notice Sierra, professors grandmother has hung herself up over on the other side of the fence.... So I try to pick her up and she starts biting the shit out of me!! Tore the cuff of my leather jacket to shreds!!! Didn't actually get to my flesh thankfully.. Went back inside had to help my stepfather with some computer shite and then SSS* and off to WORK!!!!!!!! Yes sir that's right I'm at work right now. Isn't that always the way with me? So anyway talk about being thankful, the dunkin donuts over here is open so I go in and get a coffee, only to realize that I left my wallet at home.... HAHAHAHa I had to go to the store and get $2 out of the register to pay for my coffee.
But after all that please don't think me ungrateful. I had a great time last night. I'm just happy to have, if not a great running, but decent running car. I'm glad I didn't sacrifice any flesh to the beast grand mother of my favorite son. (haha) That I still have my mother and father and stepfather around to be bothered by. That I have a decent job that is paying me more today than just about any other day of the year. That I have great friends and an extended family that I love, and that loves me in return. Mostly I'm grateful for this human experience. I had seen a bumper sticker once that read "we are not physical being having a spiritual experience, but spiritual beings having a physical experience" and I really like that. Whether or not you believe in the spiritual nature of the universe I'm sure you'll agree that at the very least it's nice that you can be here to have your opinion on the matter.
Ok too many side tracks, back to work for me..
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Tell me what you are thankful for!
