Day 56

It's Wednesday, and tomorrow is Thanksgiving. A lot of people I know have taken this month as a reason to do daily gratitude. I've been trying to look at different things.

Today I am grateful for repurposing a summer dress into something that makes me smile on an overcast day (it's a strapless floral maxidress, but I pulled on a turtleneck and jeans jacket over it - I am loving the flowers today).

I am happy to be able to listen to The Decemberists and Vampire Weekend and Okkervil River.

I am happy that I can spend tomorrow with my Mama -- and come back home after dinner. *grin*

I have amazing clients.

As I wrote yesterday to a friend who embraces his cranky: "I hate Starbucks, yeh, I'm incredibly grateful that - should I choose to put that burned ass swill in my mouth - I am flush enough to be able to pay for the privilege to pay a ridiculous amount of money for shitty fucking coffee. And that's pretty rad."

I'm heading into a four day weekend, after which I will work for two days and then go 'cross the country to spend five days with friends.

I live in a world where this exists for purchase. .

I have a comforter that has GIR on it from Invader Zim, covered in a print of sweets, with GIR shouting "I looooooooovvveeee candy!" It cracks me up every single time I look at it.

My Life Is Average is awesome.
