1. I'm thankful to be alive and safe from the abuse from my ex-husband. My divorce was the best decision of my entire life. No one deserves to be abused ever. Plus, I'm thankful to not smell like his cigarette smoke anymore.
2. I'm thankful to not have any contact with my father. He and his stupid family activities are the reasons I hate the holidays. Plus, not having to deal with his constant verbal abuse makes my life so much better than it was 5 years ago. And, most importantly, I'm thankful to never have to see him walk around the house in just his tighty-whitey underwear with holes (so freaking gross).
3. I'm thankful for having an awesome mother and younger brother, even if we do have bizarre conversations in inappropriate places at inappropriate times (like talking about bowel movements while eating at the dinner table ... or discussing penis size while walking through the Wal-Mart toy department ... or talking about shaving pubic hair while eating ice cream at Dairy Queen).
4. I'm thankful for my family's dogs, especially my dog Oreo. He's helped me through all my darkest days since I got him in the summer of 2007. He's the most compassionate animal I've ever been around. Plus, he loves to cuddle, which gets me through the cold nights.
5. I'm thankful for the fact that Oklahoma puts almost all of its public records on the Internet, which makes it super easy to do free background checks on people. I've started doing background checks on every guy I consider dating. I even have friends and coworkers having me do background checks on people. Of course it's very interesting when I find out that someone I've known for years is listed as a sex offender.
6. I'm thankful for this blog and its readers. When I started it, I never thought this blog would become one of my most important lifelines.
7. I'm extremely thankful for vibrators and batteries. Without them, my seven-month "fast" from sex wouldn't be possible. (And no, that's not cheating. My fast doesn't block that.)
8. I'm thankful for my sleeping pills... well when I have them. I can't sleep without medication, and I've been out since Monday, but haven't been able to go get a refill yet due to my vacation and the holiday.
9. I'm thankful to have a job that I actually like. Yes, I said that I actually like my job. I've never once liked a job I had. In the last few months, a lot of things have changed at the office (like my former asshole-of-a-boss quitting), and most of it has made the job better. Also, I am grateful to have a job period. With the economy the way it is, I know a lot of people who have lost their good jobs and are now having to work at fast food places just to survive.
10. I'm thankful for my sarcastic coworkers who send me emails that make me laugh until I start crying. It really makes stressful nights less horrible when people crack inappropriate jokes about "banana covers" and weird names (such as Richard Long) in the obituaries, and when they nickname me things like "anal spacer" because I'm really strict about the spacing in my newspaper page designs.
11. I'm thankful for the People of Walmart website. There's nothing like laughing your ass off at the expense of a bunch of weird freaks shopping at what could be considered their mecca. I just hope I never see any of my family members or friends on there ... I am a born-and-bred Okie, so it's quite possible.
12. I'm thankful for hair clips. I've pretty much always kept my hair chin-length since I was 12 years old because I hate having my hair touch my neck and shoulders, but I got dared earlier this year to grow it out until the end of December. It's a few inches passed my shoulders now, and it drives me fucking insane almost every day. I have to put it up in a clip all the time. My mom is extremely shocked that I haven't went psycho and just started chopping it off with scissors. I can't wait until I can cut it off without losing the dare.
13. And lastly, I'm thankful for Taylor Lautner's sexy abs ...
It may just be the cougar in me talking, but frankly I don't really care if he is only 17 years old. The things I would do to that boy ... mmmmmmm hmmmmm ... Anyone want to lick whip cream and chocolate syrup off that hot teenage body? I sure as hell do.
