Can’t wait for January!
Love and Miss you...mean it!
I am thankful that you are so thankful for me.
Oh, and I'm thankful for you too.
All kidding aside, I am truly thankful that you listed me under the Catholics because I think they like girls on the bottom...and you know how I worry about pleasing them.
I purposely put you right under the Catholics because I thought it was a good reminder for them.
I am a little confused though, I thought the only one you were concerned with pleasing was me????
Let's get together soon for our bi weekly prayer meeting. This week I am going to pray that mangos grow in the winter and that from here on out people only call children 'chitlens'.
Are you in or are you in?
John 1:14
Oh wait, you'll need more info: That's John's birthday...wanna come over?
Daniel 5:4 -
Drinking wine was combined with praising false gods
I didn't say it! The bible did.
I love all the things you are thankful for. I love that you're thankful for boggle, although i'm not very thankful for BALDEREFNDASH. You always win! I am definately thankful that when I come to your house, I do not have to look at a dead giraffe. I sincerely thank you for that. They are truely beautiful creatures. Poor Melman. I am thankful that I now know how to spell pinochle. Thank you for that as well. I agree, Catholocism, overrated. You are definately better than that, you know with your left handedness and all. I am thankful for Henning as well. You know what is so funny? I actually told that story today to my gay friend who was sitting at the airport acknowledging the awkward social tendencies of all the unprepared people traveling. I am thankful for your spellcheck, and the fact that if i've made any mistakes you will correct them. I am most definately thankful to have a friend as beautiful inside, and out as you. You're awesome. I've truely had a very trying day, and reading your blog totally turned it around. Thank you sooooooo much for being you. I love you! Not in a gay way. XOXO
Rachie
I am very thankful I can see the interactions between you and Twist. They give me a very hearty laugh out loud. Thank you. XOXO

My first thought upon reading this wonderful list is that it's very thoughtful, but what about props/thanks for the freakin' Amish. They've played a very important role in the last 2 weeks or so of CBTCK banter and yet here they get nary a mention - that's not right. Give the Amish their due damnit.
My second thought was to wonder how "Rachie" was spelling pinochle before reading the blog? Was she spelling it Pea-Knuckle? Because that would be amusing to me.
I'll get back later with a more sincere response to this wonderful post and am also thankful that I'll be seeing my wonderful sister and mother, and the 2 chitlins in just a few hours. Peace Out.
Oh, and I almost forgot to say how thankful I am for the considerate person at the mall who made some minor modifications to one of the signs so that it read:
"Macy's welcomes all children to come sit on Satan's lap and have their picture taken with Satan!"
Clever, clever.
Now see, that's where the camera phone comes in handy. That would have been delightful!
The other day I was really amused that the dollar store in our area had changed it's sign and now it reads,
"A Dollar or Two" what with inflation I guess?
Perhaps I should add something in about the Amish. It would need to be worded carefully bc the Amish are a little scary to me. I don't like the whole thing. That's a whole different blog post though. Today is for being thankful. I will go revise.
I'm glad to see you giving thanks this day, though to whom it is unclear. Your references to bible verses also shows promise and has inspired me. Did you know the pilgrims in the Bible ate chitlens? (II Kings 6:28-29) Being a mormon, we have plenty to spare. The mothers and I aren't sure which part will cook up best, but we're having a go at it...fried w/bacon and a little mango chutney. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Well, that is why I was thankful for the indians and not the pilgrims.
Indians would never eat chitlens. They are full of fat. That is a muffin top waiting to happen! And with the bacon no less?
Today I am giving thanks to all of Gods creatures. Except the pilgrims, the nay sayers, the homo phobes, the makers of beef jerky, clowns, people who bring babies to the movies, and that guy who got mad at Billy over a parking space. Those guys brought it on themselves. (Maybe you give the universe a shout out for them while you are cookin' up chitlens, that could take a while.
I am thankful for you too, Amy.
I love your list.
(But who is this other "Kathy" and does she have a red wagon?)
Dong-
I am thankful that about 7 years ago you called me on the phone after we had lost touch for 20 some years and we reconnected...that was magical.
I am thankful that you bring a delicious ingredient to my life that knowone else does.
I am thankful that you are my oldest friend in the world.
I am thankful that you are the only person that I have ever slept outside with.
I am thankful that I remember your dad so fondly.
I am thankful that the I saw the first day MTV ever aired on your couch. (ouch...are we that old?)
I am thankful that you mentioned me in your blog:)
I love you oh so very much, kind of in a gay way. xo Lipsky
There is so much here, I barely know where to begin! Actually, I know exactly where to begin. I just need to acknowledge that I could have gone gang-busters on this and likely drawn out the official censors of Amy's blog. But I'm not going to because I want to begin with the one most important, biggest, bestest, most fabulous, wonderful sumthin sumthin special that I am thankful for and then just let the millions (like your list of things to do) of other things I'm thankful for remain in line behind numero uno, A, roman number one, firstly, and all that.
I am thankful for this shining light, this bright star of goodness, love and joy that seems to have come out of nowhere at the most unexpected moment and yet has been perfect all along. I don't question it. But I am thankful for it. I'm thankful beyond all words', blogger comments' and sympathy cards' abilities to reflect thankfulness.
I'm sticking with the top of my list. Thank you.
I'm thankful for Kathy and her leather pants.
We are thankful for all the trouble Twist gets into - ka-ching!
I am thankful for being let out of the trunk once in awhile.
I'm thankful I don't have to bother cooking for anyone!
I am thankful for your shape.
I am thankful for flower stems and anyone who walks in the front door.
I am thankful I didn't bite you so you didn't have to get a shot.
I am thankful you ate at my restaurant even though you nearly fell asleep in the guacamole.
I am thankful you have taken the time to tour all my streets. Most people just take the highway.
We are thankful for your six to seven dollars.
We are thankful that you have chosen to ignore the california raisen people, those got milk folks and the wisconsin cheeseheads in order to support our underappreciated staple of supreme goodness.
We are thankful for all the near misses.
You've inspired me.
Amulet hit.
I'm thankful for you, baby.
I adore you Miss Lady. So glad you at least TASTED a smidge of ONE of the 3 desserts I ordered. Holy shit how much food did I waste that night?! You know I threw the whole doggie bag away. Yes I did. Philly gave me gut rot like I've never expierenced in my LIFE! Love that you drove all the way to eat with me. Love that you are who I thought and love that I could be who I was. Keep it sassy FlexiPants! How was CO? Love ya! xooxox
