Thanks and Stuff and Things

Happy (early) Thanksgiving, y'all.

I'm thankful for...

...beaten up cowboy hats.

...homemade cookies baked with mom.

...stairs.

...old friends.

...new firends.

...Italian pick-up lines.

...miniature painted gnomes.

...a good pair of tweezers.

...little sisters that can play bass.

...tires that keep their air pressure.

...disposable cameras.

...my sanity.
