Blessing Counting

Once a year I get some time to count my blessings.  I am thankful for having a great girlfriend who feeds me (a lot), corrects my spelling (lots) and thankfully looks good too.  I’m grateful she lets me live in her great house located in a quiet and safe neighborhood that’s close to work and close enough to the city without the hassel of traffic and parking.  I’m also thankful for my three pets that I like… most of the time.

Once a year at this time, I get two days off from work.  I only hate work 60% of the time.  On my vacation I ate way too much food, slept in with my girlfriend until 9:30–sometimes 10:00, drank gallons of beer and coffee, watched stupid, trashy movies (Snakes on a Plane and Art School Confidential–both were major disappointments) blitzed vacant from our skulls.

Before Thanksgiving dinner at my dad’s, I raided the attic and found treasures from my youth for which I am also thankful.  I came out of the attic with three Godzilla movies and a box full of action figures and rubber alligators.

Now the holidays are all over, of course, and it’s back to work.  That’s all the gratitude and contentment I’ve got for 2006, so watch your back jerk face!
