For realsies though, it's almost December and this morning I accepted the fact that a cold Chicago winter is inevitable. As if there is any other kind. In reflection of the holiday, here is a list of things I am thankful for in somewhat of an order. Family first, then everything else!
- Being my Dad's sidekick when I am home. Sporting events, Wal-Mart three times in one day, Cracker Barrel? Works for me and padre.
- My brother and the next Peter Gammons, Ryan! (Please see resemblance below.) I imagine Ryan will age better than Peter but that's neither here nor there. Catch his front page story, here SIU Daily Egyptian
- That after viewing the effects of my mom taking vitamins I decided they all negate each other and, in conclusion, cause unnecessary napping.
- Casey, the boyfriend. I forgot him in the first publish of this post. We spend a solid amount of our time making fun of strangers...and each other. When he buys me flowers for the second time (ever) I might buy him a helicopter.
- Returning to Chicago after a long train ride and riding in the cab home. Seeing the lights of the city and personally being part of the skyline is an outstanding experience.
- On the Chicago note, not being a Bears fan. For real, they are awful.
- To piggyback off THAT, not being a Cubs fan. Go Cardinals! Less than 100 days until pitchers and catchers report. My winters are so lonely.
- Lady Gaga. "If I'm a guy and I think Lady Gaga is incredibly talented, am I gay?" The answer is no.
- Kitten Mittens
- Glee and 30 Rock. I, like, really enjoy those shows.
- Being incredibly better looking than the mutants that shop in Southern Illinois at 5 a.m. on Black Friday. Straight from Dante's seventh ring of HELL, they resembled Sloth from the Goonies. I will not stand in line with these freaks for a $79 Blu-Ray player.
