Give thanks

Things I'm thankful for:
Getting the first interview out of the way
Homemade applesauce, chestnut stuffing, sweet potato souffle, three kinds of pie...yeah, I can't move
A Broncos win
Family all together--the Mary-isms continue to roll
The chance to see my first college football game tomorrow--Go Huskers!
The beginning of Advent (almost)
Not having to go to work tomorrow (or until February)
Seeing everyone I love at Thanksgiving Mass
A warm bed
Good friends to share my blessings with

Home Sweet...

Just wanted to share the joys of feeling at home. Shopping for blanket bins and all-purpose flour of my very own. Having someone to share banana pancakes with. Being around the corner from two (count 'em: TWO) libraries. The behemoth total gym in the basement that, at least for now, makes working out interesting. A real live garage to park in. It's amazing how much feeling at home changes things. I'm finding that even the longer commute in the middle of rush hour doesn't stress me out as much when I'm coming home to home. I'm so looking forward to getting all settled in, hanging up my own stuff, hosting my own parties. Visitors welcome.
