Here's An Insufferably Long List of Everything I'm Thankful for This Holiday Season (And Every Other Day of the Year)

Here's a ridiculously long list of things for which I am exceedingly thankful. There's no real order to the list (just as there's no real order in my life... hahaha... no really, I have problems and a small child), so let's get this thang started.

My daughter: Words fail me here. I am so profoundly thankful for my daughter, Dolly. She is my greatest source of joy and pride, and she is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I'm about to cry just thinking about how thankful I am for my little Birdie Bee. She is my everything. (You can read the letter I read her every Thanksgiving HERE).
My husband: I don't know how/why he hasn't divorced me yet. He manages to put up with my 489,092,235 neuroses every day, and he's my best friend. He has the patience of a saint, and he is always there for me. He's handsome as hell. He provides for our family. He watches Maury reruns with me. He just gets me, and I love him so much.
My family: My family may all be a little crazy, but they're my kind of crazy. I would not be who I am today without these people, and I love them more than my vocabulary will allow me to express.
My friends: These people are pretty much family, too. They are my support system, my lifeline, all the cliche phrases you read about in Oprah's Book Club--these people are my favorite, and I love them dearly.
