Thanksgiving 2006

We saw Happy Feet last night and I want that hour and a half of my life back. I felt it was a big disappointment and didn't work on a number of levels. Phooey.
The butcher at my grocery store had never heard of Prosciutto. Come ON.
That griping aside, I confess I adore the holiday season and now that it's in full swing I'm giddy as a schoolgirl. Last year I was apprehensive that I'd be doing more moping than celebrating, but that didn't happen and this year I'm all BRING IT ON.
Today I am thankful for many things, but here I want to post how thankful I am that livejournal allows me access to so many people worth knowing. You are worthwhile, interesting, thought-provoking, kind, and funny in turns. Don't go changing.

I remarked to the deli guy that I'd found it there, and he might direct future shoppers there, since it was after all 15 steps from the deli whereas the lunchmeat/ham area was way far away. His reply? "Oh sure, I knew it was there. But I thought we also had some by the ham."

I don't think they selected music that lent itself to being sung a capella backed by hundreds of penguin voices. It didn't grab me at times when I think I was supposed to be grabbed. But different strokes and all that.
