YES!
We're going to some good friends' house in New York for T-day. My kids are excited to check out Manhattan.
I'm thankful our financial situation is getting better on my end.
I'm thankful people are reading my stories and buying my books, especially to the people who've done so from this forum, because I've probably pissed each of them off at least once.
I'm thankful that my family is safe and sound this year.
Most of all, I'm thankful for my wife. No one has any idea the level of shit she puts up with living with me (though I know she'd say it's the other way around). More to the point, she's attentive and kind, and annoying and sloppy, and beautiful whether she knows it or not. She uses me as an excuse to get out of things (I'm so proud), she helps me whenever she's able. We can talk for hours about Greek myth or video games, and she reminds me how awesomely geeky she is when we go into a game store and she tells people about her Skyrim characters. She gets upset that I do most of the heavy lifting around the house, but she can't understand how much more she keeps me going emotionally. I love her in all her happy, bitchy, depressed, gentle, silly, crazy moods and no matter how I complain about her sometimes, I wouldn't want to be without her.

Most of my family has converged on my sister's house six hours away from where I live and both the wife and I have to work tomorrow, so it's a day off, but nothing big.
Though apparently my wife wants to go to Subway for Thanksgiving dinner. I ... guess we can?

Thanksgiving is saved!
We haven't even had dessert yet and I am stuffed full.
That tiramisu...let me just say that I had neighbors who were supposed to come for dessert, but they cancelled. I do not care in the least because it is so good I don't want to share.
Dinner was good, as was dessert. Staying upstairs so I don't go raid the fridge for leftovers.
Yet.
Yet.
Mine isn't for 11 more months.
Got invited to my academy buddy's in-laws for Thanksgiving. Got a mild buzz, ate a lot of good food, and made a bunch of rednecks amused by the fact that I told 'em I'd never been hunting before. The pressure's on for me to get my license now. *grins*
You should have said "I hunt the toughest game- man."
Man isn't that tough if you cook it correctly.
Long pig!!
I used to dance under that name...
What a coincidence...
