thanks giving, day 7
i would be most thankful for an alarm clock that politely pointed out that it was time to get up - as opposed to one that screams "hey! get up, already! don't get mad, you TOLD me to yell at you!" do we think that's too much to ask for?
does it count if i WOULD be thankful? probably not. well, in that case, i'm thankful for being able to snooze my alarm clock for 45 minutes this morning. that's a good compromise between not needing one at all & needing one to get up for work, right? :)
in about half an hour i'm going to be thankful for oatmeal apple cinnamon pancakes.
i don't know if enjoying french fries with salt & pepper is hereditary so much as just a sign of good taste. i like mine with a little garlic powder on them, too, when i have that in the house. at restaurants i like to mix the salt & pepper in with the ketchup - as it sticks to the ketchup better than it sticks to the fries if they're not straight from the fryer. one of my goals for next year will be to continue the french fry embargo until may 1, making it one full year. since i remember the last place i ate deep-fried french fries, it would make the most sense to celebrate my victory at that same restaurant. but man, it's sure be disappointing if i hit it on a bad french fry night.
my white tree is, indeed, a homemade Christmas tree. however, if i can pull off my next magic trick, it will not be THE homemade Christmas tree. if i can't pull off my next magic trick, however, it will be. :) the overall vision has them working as a set to balance the room.
in my searches for Christmas decorations last night, i found no less than (kid you not) nine spools of Christmas ribbon. i also got the last of my halloween decorations properly put away. i had some stuff stashed on my attic stairs from my quick-clean before november bunco ... they made it all the way up the stairs & into their box. and, to bring this back to thanks givings, i was quite thankful to not run into any bats while up in the attic.
i should side note: i don't think i actually have bats in the attic. but i am thankful to the friend who pointed out that i COULD have bats for sufficiently freaking me out.

'becca doesn't like bats. she thinks they're shifty.

You freaked me out with the bats comment until you clarified!
I know what you mean about stashing stuff on the stairs. I used to do that just because I was too lazy to walk up the stairs. Then when I could barely walk up there, that's when I would take the stuff up.
What is the french fry embargo?
You freaked me out too, until you clarified!
Bats are shifty. But i have learned from experience (another wonderful thing about my time in Iowa) that used Cool-Whip containers make good catching devices.
i like the idea of balanced trees. Or balancing trees. But i think that might mean something slightly different than what you said.
