post thanksgiving fodder

sorry for the last post with regards to thanksgiving, but life has been all hands on deck this year (and especially the past few months). things keep popping up like the game whack a mole, only instead of one head popping up to knock down its three. so in keeping with the thanksgiving theme of giving thanks, this anchor has compiled a short list of somethings i am thankful from this past year. here is the list in no particular order:

1. stern - has done everything possible to makes work bare able

2. vacation - dallas was incredible for this past years vacay time away. spending time with the southern anchors was nothing short of awesome (even if nana cheated at phase 10 - jk). sorry to see big tex go down in flames, but it was great to see him the week before he had those massive hot flashes. we where able to go to the texas state fair and grub on some of the fair foods. my only regret was not eating more of it. spent a great deal of time doing important family stuff (watching baseball/basketball/and football), and the BEST part of it was that we flew there instead of driving it. i can't express in words what a difference that makes.

3.breaking bad - i hate to put a tv show on this list, but this show has brought en me the mrs much closer (mainly cause its the only show she'll watch with me).

4. iphones - the anchor took the plunge to davey jones locker, or what most people call the 21st century this past year, and got a smart phone. as much as i know nothing about it, i started playing words with friends (which i still believe to be inspired by the nazi regime for its only acceptance of whatever words they feel are worthy of being able to be played), and song pop (the one game i can beat the mrs at).

5. family - i know if i leave them out i will be in big trouble, and i really love em. why they don't throw me overboard is nothing short of a miracle.

5. football - nothing is a better distraction from sept through feb.

6. music - kinda broad i know, but it really is a big part of my life, and it helps with beating the misses against song pop.

7. mmt - as i learn more about it the more i am intrigued by how right it is.

8. facebook - i spend so much time this past year (and years previous) on there making stupid comments to family & friends so i had to put it on this list (editors note i do not own stock in facebook as far as i know).

9. my mini anchors - these kiddos keep me going and at the same time always seem to find ways to try and give me a heart attack.

10. last but certainly not least.... mrs anchor - for some reason she hasn't decided to raise the bar in her life and go above sea level for someone more worthy of her attention, but whatever it is i'll take it. she really helps keep my life in perspective which is mainly her perspective. luv u big penguin.

so there is a brief top ten list of things that i am grateful for in the year 2012. as you can guess i have much more to be thankful for, but i really don't feel like writing anymore at this time.
