Things I Don't Understand...

...and am thus NOT thankful for.

(See how I tied that in to November and the What-I'm-Thankful-For posts?)

Sneaky. I know.

In no particular order:

1. Kale- I mean, it just sounds nasty.
2. Kim Kardashian- and anyone else in her family. I mean why people? There is NO talent there.
3. Reality Shows- especially ones that follow families around. WHO CARES! I have enough drama in my own life-- I sure as hell don't want anyone else's!
4. How to french braid-- this is one that I need to learn! Stupid Elsa making my 4 yr old want a braid everyday! 
5. Basketball-- UGH! Does this sport ever end?
6. This.
7. Toe Socks-- maybe it's just because I have short toes and thus they never worked for me... maybe I'm jealous. Nah... They look ridiculous.
8. Cranberry Sauce-- ok I will be honest here-- not sure I have ever even TRIED cranberry sauce. But I still don't get it. 
9. Minecraft-- What is that nonsense anyway?
10. Why ANY stores (other than maybe gas stations) are open on Thanksgiving. Give it a rest! All that junk will still be there on Friday. Seriously. 

Thanks Y'all!

So every year I do the typical "What-I'm-Thankful-For" daily posts... except that I always get behind and usually end up doing 3 or 4 entries with multiple days. Add to the fact that I am fairly certain that I name the same things EVERY year... so what's the point?

Of course I am thankful for friends and family, and awesome co-workers... and the fact I have a job (though some days I wish I didn't...) I appreciate my life, my education, and all the amazing opportunities I have had.

So this year I am not posting daily-- but whenever the mood strikes. And I am aiming my appreciation at the less obvious choices.

• Today I am thankful for wind. It's like a cyclone out there right now and I LOVE it! I love to listen to it whistle and to watch all the leaves swirling around. Wind provides great comedy as well. It is the funniest of all weather options really. Look at people's hair blowing all over the place! And people's facial expressions as they walk facing the wind-- it's like they ate an entire truckload of lemons or something... all squished up. C'mon people. Hilarious.
• I am also thankful for photographs. They help remind me of all the awesome things I do. Seriously- I need them. My memory is shit lately.

That's it for today... this week, as with most, has made my brain feel mushy...
