"turkey for me, turkey for you."

"...Let's eat the turkey in my big brown shoe." Oh, Adam Sandler, you created a classic with that song.

So it's 2am on Thanksgiving morning. And I can't sleep.

I haven't updated this in over a month, so I figured there's nothing better I could do with my time.

This year has gone by so fast. It's unbelieveable. It literally seems like just yesterday that I was celebrating New Year's Eve at Kory's house.

I've had a few rough patches this year ... roommate drama. My dad and Barb separating, then getting back together. And then separating again.

But for every bad thing or stressful thing that has happened, ten good things have come my way. I feel so lucky and blessed. I have an amazing job, an awesome apartment (with no psycho roomies!) and the best friends a girl could ever ask for.

The only thing I'm lacking in is the boyfriend department, but I guess I can't have everything. I'm content with how life is right now. I can't complain. I've been dealt a great hand.

I'm so incredibly thankful for everything I have, and for everything I've ever had. I used to take a lot of things in my life for granted. I know I was spoiled rotten, especially by my Nana. But I know she only did it because she loved me. I wish I hadn't taken my time with her for granted, because I didn't know that she would be taken from this world too soon. But I'm thankful for the seventeen years that she was in my life.

I'm thankful for my crazy mother, who I consider my best friend. I'm no longer jealous of her accomplishments - I'm just so incredibly proud of her. She's the best mom on the planet, and I love her to death. Even though she did pass on the impulse-buying gene to me. Although I've got to give her credit for her latest purchase ... a 40-foot horse trailer with a walk-in closet and a flat screen tv is pretty fricking awesome.

I'm thankful for my dad, and I'm glad that he's finally realizing that he doesn't have to put up with all of the shit that he's put up with for so long. I'm glad that he can stand up for himself and make his own decisions. I just want him to be happy, and I know he will be eventually. After almost losing him seven years ago, I'm just glad to have him in my life.

I'm thankful for every single thing I have, for everything I've ever worked for. I'm thankful that I've made the decisions I have.

I'm simply thankful for everything.

Happy Turkey Day. And may the Seahawks suck less today and beat the Cowboys. :]
