All My Thanks

by Lemmonex on November 24, 2009

So, I am sick of all your thankfulness.

Yes, yes. I know you love your family, your friends, and your health. I love mine too. Clearly.low barlowest bar

But, really? What am I thankful for? Besides this bottle and a half of wine.

Let me tell you the things I am thankful for:

Vanity sizing

Deep inhales

Eli Roth

Cheddar and Scallion Sourdough Twists

Pink, the color…though the artist is lovely enough

Selective memory

Ceiling fans

My love, my blackberry

Rufus Wainwright’s range

Channing Tatum

Indiscriminate age of consent

Cowlicks

The moment before the leap

Fresh babies

Unfettered adoration

Paint by numbers

Matchbox (short ribs, burgers, booze, bartenders)

…and not to be cliche, every moment of my fucking life.

Thank to you for you. See you Monday.

I am thankful for YOU, and for the simultaneous levity and depth you manage to bring to my life. No, YOU’RE shmoopy! ;-)

if it wasn’t for paint by numbers i think i would have been so lost and very misunderstood. i’m thankful for finger paint too!

Fresh babies. Good call. Stale babies are no good. They should be sent back. That’s why you always keep the receipt.

“The moment before the leap.” Oh, yes. Indeed. Brilliant. Happy, happy turkey day!

I don’t know what I’m grateful for. It’s going around the internet and I haven’t caught it yet.

Fresh babies? almost made me spit out my coffee.

I agree most with the bottle and a half of wine and CHANNING TATUM!
DELISH. I am drooling now. I just went to my file of pictures of him saved on my computer. What?

Sourdough ANYTHING.

The flavor on fresh babies is always infinitely better than packaged babies, yes. And when I read Channing Tatum my brain went to Stockard Channing…who is kinda excellent I guess, but not nearly as much.

Have a good thanksgiving.

Love. this. post.

Thank God, seriously. The internet has been overflowing with a lot of very bland gratitude, which I get, but I way prefer your list.

I’m with Kyla.

Selective memory is one of the best things about being human.

I am rather grateful for getting through the meal for 19 without killing a family member or a guest. Wine is so good for my nerves.

I too love Matchbox, especially those little sliders and the onion rings they come with.
