It's turkey time here in Canada, which means I've already fired up the Christmas carols and started spamming my American friends in defense of holding Thanksgiving in October. At work we were supposed to say what we were thankful for, and the only thing I could come up with at the time was "Wine gums and reported rapes in the U.S. hitting a 20 year-low." But I was just being difficult. There's been plenty to be thankful for, in the past year and just in general.
So, in no particular order, here are 10 things I'm thankful for. I would feel guilty eating pumpkin pie without mentioning them.
- My stinkmaster general cat for all the many joys he brings, but especially because he falls asleep against my arm while I type on the computer.
- Coffee
- My friends for being entertaining and educational good eggs with good fashion sense. Also, for frequently putting up with my bullshit.
- My Dad, for doing the same while keeping me in letters and clippings
- Smitty The Wonder Sheltie
- Jimmy, the adorable new son of a couple of wonderful people
- The amnesiac properties of beer
- Feminist blogs like The Sexist
- Gainful employment
- But perhaps most of all, wine gums.
Wherever you are, even if it's someplace where Thanksgiving doesn't come around until November, I hope you have a good weekend with good friend, good people and plenty of gravy. Now if I could just perfect my wine gum stuffing recipe, I would be all set.

Did we end up doing that?
I think I missed that thankful part.
Your doggie's name rhymes with what we call Chicou. We say, where's the shmitty?! heehee
Ah, so that explains it! I kept on hearing you say that when you were talking about your cat. I was confused, because you pronounce it exactly the way I say my dog's name when he's done something particularly adorable.
