As I sit here watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade with my parents and Sam, I am thankful that we did not make the trek in the cold to watch it in person like we did last year. This way we actually get to see the performers and the floats and not just the huge balloons. I love this time of year. It's a little cold for my taste, but at least the weather's nice. Today we're sharing Thanksgiving with Sam's aunt and uncle and cousins. Tonight mom and I will be seeing Rent on the big screen while my dad and Sam go see Walk the Line. It's wonderful to have my parents here. Nothing beats bagels and lox and watching the parade on TV.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I am thankful for:
- My husband
- My parents being in NYC
- My wonderful family
- My mother-in-law kicking cancer's ass
- My amazing friends
- My new job
- My health
- My future
What are you thankful for?
On another note, I'd like to wish a very Happy Birthday to Jessica F. She's making the trek to Texas to be with her boyfriend's parents and celebrating her birthday on a plane. Jess, we love you and miss you and will hopefully see you next week. Happy 24th Birthday. May all your birthday dreams come true.

You might think this is after the fact, but I don't think we necessarily have to be Thankful just on Thanksgiving--right?
So first and foremost I'm thankful for my family. My wonderful husband, my precious daughter and the best son-in-law any parent could ask for. And of course my brother and his family, my Mom ... well the list could go on but those are the most important ones to me. Oh yes, my Tika dog too. And I'm thankful that all of us are healthy at present. And the other thing that I am most thankful for is that I had almost 54 wonderful years with the best Dad in the world. Alot of people don't get to enjoy their parents that long and I feel blessed that I did. And even towards the end, there were wonderful memories that we created.
And maybe now is a good time to say Thank You, Carlye and Sam, for putting up with Bob and me (ok he was easy--I wasn't). We love you.
Mom
P.S.
I wanted to also add that along with being Thankful we are VERY hopeful that, as I think Carlye said, that Marie continues to kick the cancer's ass. We're pulling for ya Marie!! We love you!
