Thankful YO

Posted on November 21, 2012 at 7:33 am, by Kelsey

I figured I would post my Thanksgiving nonsense today since nobody is going to be reading blogs tomorrow on the actual holiday sooo….. Happy Thanksgiving (tomorrow!)  to all of my fabulous readers!   I hope you know that I love each and every one of you and appreciate that you come back daily to read my busted blog.

This year especially, I am super thankful for everyone and everything. Moving to a new city, finding a job, friends and a way of life is difficult and I try to be thankful everyday that things have turned out well (knock on wood). I’m bummed I won’t be making it home to spend the holiday with my family but they know I miss them terribly and love them to the point of obsession.

So, I’m super thankful that I’ve made some really wonderful friends.

Like the type of friends that I can’t imagine my life without now.

I’m also thankful that I yet again  have convinced PartyDog to continue to put up with my nonsense.

I’m beyond happy that I was able to spend some much needed time with my Korean Gem.

And I’m still in awe that I got to be apart of the promotion of an awesome race.

I got to run a few races despite being injured.

I finally got to see  California.

And did even more traveling to Wisconsin for an all girls weekend.

And I’m so incredibly thankful that I got to spend lots of time with my family despite living halfway across the country from them.

(My mom doesn’t fancy being in pictures but obviously you know I love my Ma more than I love bread, wine and a cheese (which is hard)).

But what I’m most thankful for this year is the fact that lots of Harry Potter was involved!

Does life get any better?

But wait, it does! I forgot to say how thankful I am for Rick Bayless. He makes me so incredibly happy, especially since my jeans seem to keep getting tighter after each visit to one of his restaurants.

Happy Thanksgiving (tomorrow) friends! I love ya!

That’s all the nonsense I have for now!

What are you thankful for this year?

    Love you baby girl, I’m thankful we’ve been lovers for so long.

    If I lived in Chicago, I wouldn’t bother making thanksgiving dinner. I’d just take myself and my loved ones to a Rick Bayless restaurant…

    I too am so thankful for Rick Bayless! I don’t have cable, so cooking shows have replaced reality TV as my “mindless TV in the background” and I always turn on Ricky B. if his show is on. I’ve been to Topolobampo once, and need to hit up his other restaurants, and then hit them all up again for a second time … and third … and fourth … but I might need someone to go with …
