THANKSGIVING
Whether Big Or Small, Count Your Blessings
A Family Tradition: The Gift That Keeps On Giving
II hated sitting at the kids table.
Don't get me wrong, I loved my cousins. The only other girl, however, had already moved to the grown-up table and I was stuck in the middle of three very loud, very messy boys. We sat at a folding table with a Twister mat underneath us to catch our crumbs. The food was always sensational, but I longed to be with the big people.

'VE HAD A CHANCE to do some reflecting in between Mad Men DVR marathons and boozing, and I’d like to share with you, dear readers, what I’m most thankful for this year.
First off, I'd like to thank my mother for creating the bundle of awesomeness you all know as Miz J. Thanks, Mom. Your constant calls to my work line and forwarded God emails have not gone unnoticed, just unanswered and unopened. (Hey, I’m busy at work. I talk to her A LOT when I’m at home, people. A LOT).
