Bless All Y'all

Remember, I'm spendin' some time over at Sarah's site, just posting to my little heart's content. Go forth and read my newest ditty here.

Aah, the holiday season. Where white lights twinkle, sugarplums dance (what IS a sugarplum, exactly?) and anything seems possible. We're a cheery bunch, this pre-Christmas, pre-Hannukah, pre-any December-holiday crowd, "God blessing" everyone, even that skank ho who cut you off today in traffic. Bless your heart (as you get pulled by a cop for reckless driving. Karma, I say.) We spend more time with loved ones, celebrate the joys of the holiday over mulled cider & non-fat soy eggnog while we flaunt our holiday attire, including the cute-as-pie pink shoes that I bought the other day. Festive, we are.

I have much to be thankful for this Christmas. As such, in the spirit of sharing the joy (the very same explanation I gave to my roommate why I found the need to turn on the light and bounce on his bed at 2am the other morning), I give you:
"Why Aubrey Is a Happy Girl This Holiday, aka, Thank Y'all List"

I'm thankful for...
...Diet Barq's rootbeer.
...Baked Lays & the man who brings them, else I wouldn't ever have lunch.
...Pria bars (see above).
...my Coach google frame that has a darling picture in it
...my fish George. He is very bright, you know.
...thin-tipped sharpies.
...the fleece blanket I have wrapped around my body like a babushka.
...the fact that I get my Saab-ala mobile back today. Adios, Chevy Mali-poo.
...holiday christmas parties.
...nice waitresses at Twist who brought excessive amounts of shots, a gratis.
...nice co-workers that not only went to Chik-Fil-A to get me hash browns, but also paid for them.
...my darling cats.
...my darling roommate, who must be sick of me calling him 'my darling roommate' by now.
...grocery-store brand cat litter. Cheap, yet effective.
...Sonia Kaschuk brushes from Target.
...Target, itself.
...Banana Republic's online sales.
...insurance.
...the seat warmers on my delightful vehicle.
...Aleve, to mitigate the post-holiday-party headache pain.
...Max & Ermas, for fixing me a scrumdillyumptious Philly Cheese Steak for lunch (sans onions & peppers).
...Alias.
...Michael Vartan. Please, why don't you come date me now?
...digital cameras.
...beers with lunch at work.
...blogtastic friends.
...second chances.
...learning from your mistakes.
...peppermint mochas.

And now, if you don't mind, I must go stick my head in a toilet. While I'm thankful for holiday parties, I am NOT thankful for hangovers.

Did I miss something? What happened to your car?

No worries, the Saab-ala mobile is just fine. It was just in for some maintenance & a squeaky roof (that they didn't fix - bastards.)

[Jason]

Hasn't the Saab-ala mobile been out of service several times since you've got it?

Sometimes there is a price to pay for style... though I'm going to assume in this situation, it is worth it.

P.S. Happy Holidays

Those sharpies do indeed rule. The best pen for inking something ever. On of these days I'll have to try one of these peppermint mochas...sounds good. Currently I'm stuck in a rut with my french vanilla lattes.

Hi there,

Stumbled across your website... very nice and a massive collection of pics!

Where about in America do you live? I probably read it somewhere but can't seem to remember as I write this message.

Well have a good Xmas, hopefully you get some snow - I'm still waiting for some in Scotland!

Regards,
Euan
