grammargirl | Thanks giving

As is traditional, here is a list of things for which I am thankful this year:

The close relationship between my mom and me since I moved to NY
The unconditional love (as long as I keep feeding her) of one Miss Pollycat, purring contentedly on my lap as I type
Friends, new and old
Haley Bug gets her very own bullet. She knows why.
So does Rebecca
A job that challenges and excites me
A thoroughly unexpected Thanksgiving bonus from said job
Wonderful boss and coworkers
The financial security that allows me to buy the occasional skein of yarn or pretty shoes or nice dinner without worrying about paying rent
The astonishing potential of a ball of yarn and a set of needles
Crisp days perfect for showing off handknits
Perfect red velvet cake, my favorite ice cream in the world, awesome middle eastern food, and the platonic ideal of a coffee shop--all within a two-and-a-half-block radius of my apartment
Ample reading material
