Happy Turgoduccochiqua Day!

Things I am thankful for:

1) Dragons — They're always there when I need a warm up and nobody understands me like they do.

2) Friends — I saw a couple of them last night and it's so great to reconnect with people when you haven't seen them in a while. Constant companions rock.

3) Being able to have just a part-time job for the last six months — It really helped me relax from the tension I'd been building up previously, and do a lot of different things I'd not have had time to do otherwise.

4) Technology — I know it seems materialistic and maybe it is, but I love love love technology. It makes so many things easier and makes so many things possible. Little electronics are your friends.

5) Mass transportation — What little there is in Seattle (Could be worse, right?) and the great bus system in Honolulu that got me around perfectly for so many warm years.

6) The guys at the fish and meat counters at Whole Foods — For giving us "WOW!" samples and making our Turgoduccochiqua dreams come true.

7) That our car is paid off.

8) My eyebrows — Thanks mom!

9) Mi familia — They always seem to be causing me a lot of grief, but the truth is that I wouldn't be anything like the person I am if it weren't for them. Some people might argue that's a bad thing, but I don't know any other way to be and I think I'm pretty spiffy.

10) Cats — The furrry purries and the fluffy tuffies, not the musical.
