Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

   I'm going to list all the things I am thankful for very quickly and off the top of my head because I used to do a lot of improv and my life is an improv.
   I am thankful for my friends and family, blah blah blah unoriginal, I am thankful for Toronto Blue Jay Brett Lawrie's butt (didn't expect that one to follow so closely after family), traffic signs- especially the walking man, my special talents (namely the ability to make my face look like a potato), potatoes, Greek salads, unfortunate people on Facebook, the things I've written that I still like, markers, smelly markers, wild turkeys (if you're not my dad, you will never understand why), Temagami Ontario (save Wolfe Island!), Tina Fey, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, Zooey Deschanel's Emmy dress, tequila shots (if I'm feeling twirly), my beautiful mermaid hair, Bridget Jones's Diary, my sanity, red meat, french fries, 50% off sales (I've been to Zellers a lot in the past little while), turnips (those fuckers are cute), cats, Grumpy Cat, my fingers, my health, lack of pneumonia (my friend has pneumonia right now), vitamin C tablets, sea salt, comfy chairs, seasonal drinks, exposed brick, Atwater Market, cardboard boxes (nothing more satisfying than a good cardboard box), when my grandma sends me 20$ in the mail, Prince Harry (keeping the monarchy real since 1984), the bands I like, posters, my job, 100% in any context relating to me, good shampoo, the 24 hour diner down the street from my apartment, winter tires, my family cottage, when strangers give you compliments, turkey(!), Ogilvys's Christmas window display in Montreal, The Bay's Christmas window display in Toronto, Christmas lights, warm socks, hot chocolate- ok, I have to cool it on Christmas, its still 2 months away, cute notebooks, waterproof spray, the Neti pot, toasters, cream cheese, pumpkins, reversible raincoats, friendly taxi drivers, Arrested Development, people who read my blog (you keep me young), the recorder (like the instrument not the device), Chinese lanterns (the plant not the fucking lantern), Pokemon Silver for Gameboy Colour (that shit raised me), my grandparents, desserts, the sense of accomplishment I get when I achieve dessert making, the smell of vanilla, rainy days, peonies and all other beautiful flowers, when people give me flowers (not like a cute couple reference, my parents used to give me flowers for every dance show I was ever in), scotty dogs, Puffs Plus Kleenex, Aloe, plaids, when you get a seat on a subway and offer it to an old person and they refuse, canoes, the like button on Facebook, bread, bread, bread, carbohydrates, any of the five moments in my life when I have had a moral compass, Kate Middleton, the 90's (if not for the 90's I would not be here), funny pictures of cats, and NOTHING ELSE.
