NoThanks
A Month At A Time
PREFACE When I said “Join me after Thanksgiving for my next round of Holy Random Stories No One Cares About, Batman!” I was only joking. But look. Here it is, two days after Thanksgiving and the very last day in November. I really need to plan my time a little better. THANKFULNESS If you were around…

Tonight I’m thankful that I finished NoThanks! I have realized that I am not a daily blogger-type person. Or maybe it’s just that I went more than two months without writing anything and then BAM! I’m having to post something every day. And I really phoned a bunch of the posts in. Like tonight. It’s 9:00…

Tonight I’m thankful for leftovers. There was no turkey deli meat left, but we still have casseroles and pies. And really, aren’t those the best part of the Thanksgiving meal anyway?
Read MoreNoThanks – Day Twenty-Two – Memories
Today I’m thankful for memories. Thanksgiving was my favorite holiday when I was growing up. Better to me than even Christmas.
