thanksgiving post

I'm not sure how I made it so long without posting this week. So now I am posting on a day when everyone is to busy to read it.

You know that thing families do where they go around the table talking about what they're thankful for on Thanksgiving? We don't do that. We are animals at best on this day. It's just football and feasting. Nothing sentimental or thoughtful.

So, I am using my blog today to share all the things I am thankful for this year:

• I am thankful that my family doesn't do the "things we're thankful for" thing.

• I am thankful for my dog. I am embarrassed by how much I love that thing.

• I am thankful for Facebook. I have reconnected with alot of old friends.

• I am thankful for Rock Band. It's the first game that gets our whole family playing together. We have put many hours into that game.

• I am thankful for my wife. Her standards are ridiculously low.

• I am thankful that I won't be a part of a church in a school at this time next year.

• I am thankful for all things google. Gmail and Google Reader have made life so great for me.

• I am thankful that my 6th grader still has some little girl left in her. I'm afraid of what she'll be like a year from now.

• I am thankful that I discovered a website that sells comic books cheap. I have doubled my collection this year.

• I am thankful that both of the major Kids Ministry events this year exceeded my expectations.

• I am thankful that God is not limited by my expectations.

• I am thankful that the Lions still play on Thanksgiving Day, despite the fact that they are awful and nobody wants to watch them. Like it or not, the original Thanksgiving game was their idea, and they shouldn't have to give it up. Plus, it's really all us Lions fans have.

• I am thankful that my best friend from my childhood spent his first day with internet access finding me. We hadn't talked in about 15 years.
  

• I am thankful for boy stuff. I have enjoyed watching my son get involved with Cub Scouts and football this year. I wish I had done that stuff when I was a kid.

• I am thankful for the people I work with. They're like family.

• I am thankful that I am out of things to blog about. The end.
