I am thankful for...

So the holiday season is officially upon us. For me the Christmas season starts the day after Thanksgiving. I did not give in to any of the Christmas nonsense before that - some radio stations were already playing 24 hour Christmas music! Ridiculous. Anyway - so I was home in NJ for the holiday and instead of going on and on about what I did over the few days I was home I figured I would just summarize it in a nice little list of things that happened over the weekend that I am thankful for...

1. No traffic on 95 until my last 45 minutes home - so close yet so far away.
2. The fact that out of all the 97 bars in Hoboken TJ managed to walk into the one that I was in on Thanksgiving Eve.
3. That after the awkward run in I told my new peaceful Swiss friend that he had to fight TJ and while looking so confused kept saying "Vy are vee fighting?"
4. Being put on bathroom duty on Thanksgiving morning after I accidentally turned the oven off while the turkey was cooking.
5. Having so many different pies for dessert that each person had a whole pie to themselves. (back off the apple is mine!)
6. Repeatedly being asked by my uncle "what's wrong with me" in regards to my dating life.
7. On Black Friday sleeping until 11:00 am and after waking up saying - I guess I missed all of the sales.
8. Opting instead to watch all of those "wedding shows" on WE and Oxygen that I don't get in Providence.
9. Going "shopping" in my parents basement for toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, and sponges to take back to my apartment.
10. Always knowing that everything is as it should be when I'm at home.
