The Weekend In Thanks

Thanks to…

…all parties for ensuring that the meeting of the moms at Thanksgiving dinner went smoothly, with no sitcom-worthy events. Since all parties are good people, this was not unexpected, but is appreciated nonetheless.

…Josh’s mom for the delicious meal.

…the dogs for not starting to fart too bad until Friday morning, when we were getting ready to leave.

…Josh for getting us home safe, despite the best attempts of the accursed sign-eschewing outskirts of Boston and the batshit crazy drivers who haunt its curvy, bewildering, yield-indicator-lacking streets.

…big huge amounts of sleep.

…my own common sense for preventing me from going to Filene’s Basement, thus preserving life, limb, wallet and sanity.

…the resulting and much-needed Saturday of doing absolutely nothing.

…our friend Damien for providing a kickass second Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday, filled with good food and good company and more good food and then some more until the danger of popping became acute and we had to go home and sleep some more.

...my one pair of still-fitting jeans for still fitting this morning despite all the gluttony.

…the returning sense of energy which means that this mean, nasty, no-kidding-around cold is on its way out at last.

…the hopeful and very exciting draining process going on in my left sinus.

…work for being not too crazy today, because although things are looking up I still need my Quiet Time.

…the much-anticipated premiere of the Paris Hilton reality TV show, which excites me more than I like to admit in a schadenfreude sort of way.
