Giving Thanks!


Thanksgiving 2010 & Thanksgiving 2012.

Many of my Facebook friends posted a status every day saying something different they were thankful for.
But, I didn’t. I also didn’t get the blogging memo about posting this the day before Thanksgiving. Ooops.

I’ll warn you that my post may not seem as serious as most blogger’s thankful posts… However…
Thanksgiving doesn’t make me realize what I’m thankful for. These are the things I’m always thankful for.

My parents who have spoiled me my entire life and never gave up on me when I was feeling a little extra sassy.

My family that I still associate with.

Family members I no longer associate with. You have showed me that real family isn’t always blood related.

Lucas Blaze. You’re amazing to me even if I’m sometimes a crabby girlfriend. You always call me out when I’m being a “diva” even though you always let me get away with it. When I’m feeling weak you force me to realize how strong I am. You’ve made me love who I am. You’re my best friend. I’m so in love with you Bubba!

My relationship. We may be more funny and weird than mushy gushy.. but, that’s my kind of perfect.

My puppies.

My health.

The massage I received yesterday. Ah, HEAVEN.

Shirts that are cute and not fitted. Hiding a fat day is always fab.

Pinterest. Now people think I’m such a crafty gal.. unless they see my Pinterest.

Animal Print, Glitter and anything girly.

Having a mom who is a hairstylist & salon owner.

My job.

My education.

Breaking Bad. Well, maybe I shouldn’t be since you consumed so much more my life.

Blankets.

My ADD/ADHD medication.

My bed.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Karma when it works in my favor.

My Bausch and Lomb one a day contact lens. The only lens my eyes aren’t allergic to.

Craft beer.

Country Music.

Thanksgiving dinner!

Blogging.

The Detroit Red Wings.

DVR.

Being young without a baby.

For the times when Luke lets me play my music while driving.

Vacations.

Tattoos.

Lucas’ family.

Cyber Monday. Screw that Black Friday/Black Thanksgiving crap. People are crazy.

Law Enforcement. Especially ones like my dad who has to be to work at 5pm Thanksgiving because of Black “Friday”.

Teeth whitener.

V8 Spicy Hot Low Sodium.

Coffee.

All of my readers!! Because you’re so fab I'm offering…

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...

Friday’s Letters!!!!

Dear Bret Michaels, Once I had a film class. It was so badass and made me wish I was an actress. I actually love being in front of the camera acting.. ANYWAYS.. This was the closest I’ve been to you.. when I was on a fake Rock Of Love.. with a fake Bret Michaels.. But, I’ll be seeing you live this Saturday!!! Dear Poison and Def Leppard, See you on Saturday!!!.. I’m pretty damn nervous to party with a bunch of people older than my mom. But, thank you for giving me an excuse to have extra big hair and dress like I belong in the 80’s.. I’ll look better than all these old chicks that still live in the 80’s.. Just sayin’.. Dear Friday’s Letters, You always make me so happy to write! I love that this link up always gets me so much positive feedback! It always makes my Friday so much better!.. I work Friday nights and Saturday mornings.. so Friday isn’t always as awesome to me as it is to everyone else. Dear Ashley from Adventures of Newlyweds, The first time I ever linked up I mention...
