Since it’s my first Thanksgiving married to my annoying husband, I figured now would be a good time to give thanks. So here, in no particular order, are things that I’m thankful for…
♥
I’m thankful for alternate-side-of-the-street parking days when my husband has to get out of bed early (sometimes even as early as 7am) to move the car to a different parking spot. This allows me to actually have the bed all to myself for a few hours. A few blissful snore-free, cover-hogging free, elbow-to-the-face free hours.
♥I’m thankful that my husband still hasn’t figured out how to use the DVR. If he had learned how to use it, I’m certain that every single time I sat down to watch Project Runway, I would’ve discovered that he recorded some obscure soccer game instead.

I’m thankful that my husband hasn’t yet found my secret stash of cookies. You see, cookies aren’t safe around him. When I come home from work and go to the kitchen to get my double chocolate Milano cookies that I’ve been thinking about all day only to find the empty package on the counter…well, it ain’t pretty.
♥I’m thankful that we have separate computers or else I’d never get online since not only is my husband a cover hog, he’s also a computer hog. Forget checking my email; I’d have to resort to (*gasp*) writing letters!
♥I’m thankful that my husband works from home so that we don’t have to pay a dogwalker and mostly so that I don’t have to walk the dogs. They’re cute dogs but they can also be a bit demonic at times. I think they must take after my husband in that regard.
♥I’m thankful that even at his advanced age, my husband still has all his hair. And even better, his dad still has all his hair too! If we ever have a son, he will have hit the hair genetic jackpot. Whoo-hoo!

♥And most of all…I’m thankful that after being recognized on the street purely because he was wearing that oh-so-familiar green sweater, my husband is now too embarrassed to wear it out in public!
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!! What are you thankful for?
I’m thankful for my dear, sweet, adorably annoying husband, as well. But I’m also thankful that I discovered YOUR blog. (I’m not alone! I’m not alone!) Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! That last one made me laugh pretty hard. You should give him one day a month or some thing that he can wear it (unless you’re going somewhere important).
Love it! And love you two. Happy Thanksgiving to you, Mark and both your wonderful families! xo
I’m thankful my puppies didn’t eat their POOP today!
Lovely post! Though I’m sorry to point out that tendency to hair loss is inherited from the mother’s side of the family, so if you have baldies in your clan, your kids may not get their dad’s lustrous locks after all!
Haha…you’re learning. If I want cheese and crackers I have to hide the box of crackers. My husband is a pilot, so I get the bed all to myself a couple of days a week, except when my daughter was young she wanted to sleep with me when he wasn’t home, now it’s just the cat. Unfortunately my husband lost his hair, and my sons ages 24 and 25 have already noticed thinning. I think the gene for baldness comes from the mom’s side though, so take a look at your dad. It’s always fun reading your commentary.
When my husband is home on the weekends it just feels like there is always a fight. He calls me lazy nit picks at the fact the house is not perfect.
I am thankful he is working this next weekend so I can have a break.
He never gives me a break with the kids. I tell him I need a break and he could care less. Only about himself. Sad but true
hairlines dont recede, they go missing on the head then sprout out wildly through the ears, on the eyebrows, and march down the back…
i know. one of the hubby’s nicknames is Sasquatch.
I am thankful for health, family, and freedom. I am also thankful to have this site to give me a smile or laugh every few days. Thank you! By the way, your father-in-law is hot!!!
really? no more green sweater? will there be a funeral?
