  4. Setting the table for dinner
  5. Getting the day off of work
  6. The midwestern autumn weather
  7. The St. Louis Parade

  10. Broccoli & cauliflower covered in Velveeta
  11. Aaaaaaaple Pie!!!!
  12. Sitting around the kitchen table chatting with family

Okay, so I was feeling anxious tonight and decided to do two TTs.


Thirteen Things For Which I'm Thankful
  1. God
  2. My health
  3. My wonderful and supportive family
  4. My wonderful boyfriend, J
  5. Our nice, little home
  6. A job that I am able to go to everyday
  7. My beautiful, sweet, dog, Beanie
  8. The financial means to live well
  9. I was raised in a nice home and nice community
  10. I have a computer to blog on everyday, several times a day
  11. The blessing of a college education
  12. Having the ability to learn about and feel true love
  13. Every experience in my life (regardless of how horrible)that made me the person I am today

If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

MMMMM! I think I like Thanksgiving just for the snarfage! Stuffing and mashed potatoes - oh yes, I loves me some of that! :)

Thanks for stopping Snarkypants. Have a lovely Thanksgiving day!

I am so looking forward to pie. I can hardly stand it anymore.

Michelle said...

Me too Maggie - I only get to watch it on TV. But, that's always good too.

Oh, I forgot all about mashed potatoes - YUMMEH!

I know, pie has been on my mind for a few days now!

Susan Helene Gottfried said...

Two TTs??? Wow. You're awesome.

Have a great day! Too bad you can't wake up to the smell of turkey cooking anymore. Sometimes, the things we have to give up aren't worth the price of being an adult, huh? *sigh*

I love the Macy's parade myself. A sinus rinse, to answer your question on my blog, is a saline rinse. You put it in a bottle that comes with it and squirt it up one side of your nose and it comes out the other. Sounds really gross but it works GREAT.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Michelle said...

Susan, you are so right. When you think of owning your own home, you don't think of the little things that you will miss at your parents'.

Tammy said...

Great TT's!! Mine is up too all about Thanksgiving!

Tammy said...

Ok I just read you 9/11 thing and that is freaky and then I did the thing in microsoft works and my jaw hit the floor!! That is just wild!

You over achiever you! :) I am jealous of the weather you get this time of year. I grew up and still live in So. California but I spent my college and grad school years in South Dakota and Denver and fell in love with the weather.

I have posted my first Thursday Thirteen over at Renaissance Blogger.

Wow, two TT's!!! I love them both. I am so waiting for the stuffing. I think that's the best part. I would love to take the kids to see the Macy's parade.

Happy TT!!!

What a great list! I was on my out to the Macy's parade this morning, but it is pouring rain here. I decided to watch it from home instead.

Happy Thanksgiving, and Happy TT!

Lisa said...

Now my mouth is watering.... Mmmmm

Caylynn said...

Great lists! :) Wonderful things about Thanksgiving (although I'll pass on the broccoli and cauliflower) and great things to be thankful for. :)

Although I celebrated Thanksgiving last month (Canadian Thanksgiving is in October) I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving. :)

Kiyotoe said...

Your second list hit a lot closer to home than the first....except for the football, that's always a priority.

Michelle said...

There's always pie left!

Family football games are fun!
