Happy Tuesday, blog buddies!

We're celebrating Thanksgiving early here at the RossBlog by listing things that we're thankful for!

One of many things I'm grateful for is Oprah's Favorite Things, which I share with you today in today's TALKY BLOG! My favorite part is when the studio audience finds out that it's a Favorite Things episode and their heads almost pop off. Literally, people begin praising Jesus. Truth be told, though, so would I if I were in that audience! :)

Too fun!

Oh, and I've decided I want to be a guest on Oprah. Seriously. It's my new mission. I mean, why not, right?

Go to our COMMENT SECTION and share what you're thankful for! :)

Until tomorrow, gang!
Ross

First? Hi Blog Buddies, Hi!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I would like audience tickets when you are on Oprah!!

Congrats on first to Pompanopetey.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!
I am thankful for an awesome family, great friends, my health and my happiness (generic, I know)
Love you Ross... Have a great Thanksgiving!!!!!!

NOT thankful for your comment counter...it lies!

I am thankful for home, family, friends, health, my dogs and their health, and YOU...Ross. You are too funny. Loved the white strips demo or when NOT to use them. Too personal? Nope, afterall, we have seen you use the nettie pot. LOL

This sounds silly, but I am thankful everyday for WD-40 spray, because I just cannot stand anything squeeky.

I'm watching Oprah right now!! I swear I told my Mom to Tivo it in case I missed it! Looove it!

BUT..

I am thankful for my wonderful family and great friends who have helped me the past month and a half with a hard breakup that left me with a broken heart. :(

You get Oprah early. I'm also in California but she doesn't come on until 4. I just bought the Oprah 40th anniv. DVD and it is fan-freakin-tastic. You would love it Ross.
Have a good day!

Tell ya the truth Ross, I'm finding little to be thankful at the moment. Pretty down in the dumps. Hopefully when I watch the Talky I'll feel better. Always seems to work before. Maybe that's something to be thankful, huh? Someone like you that always seems to cheer up the worst moods.

I am thankful for the most is everyone that is over in Iraq that is doing what they are doing for us so we can be with our families this holiday season! Also my beautiful daughter, my wonderful job that took me 9 months to find, my parents and my dog!
Everyone have a good Thanksgiving and be safe if you are traveling!

Ross: I am thankful that you care enough to blog every day, eventhough you really don't have to. I'm grateful that you let us see part of your world and Louise.

I am also thankful for this blog, and the people on it who have been so much fun and so nice.

Lastly, I'm thankful that when our old car went kaput--we were able to get a new one without too much fuss. Well, c'mon--that IS something to be thankful for! ;)

Hi Ross,
Hi BB's

A happy guest on Oprah. Clarify the Dream...LOL

the universe needs details.

I cant wait for the favorite things I love it when they find out too the crying the screaming and oprah too. It is the best.
its on in a half hour.

Love ya
Jena

This is my first time posting. Hello blog buddies!!

When they showed the $250 gift card for Taget, the first two things that popped into my head were Ross and 5 dollar fun

I'm thankful for many things: my family and my friends (even though I don't have many friends), my favorite bands, and the Ross Blog. Today is the first time that I've tried and succeeded at commenting, so I probably will more often, but this blog makes me feel good. I love Ross, Daria, and the blog buddies. I've read the comments for awhile now, and I'm so happy that all of you are so nice.

Ross and blog buddies: Thank you for making such a great, friendly place.

I wanted to post it so that people could see who it was, I'm sorry. I guess you can tell that I'm new to this.

Thankful for being alive it's a miracle. Also socks homemade wooly from mother in law, holding hands with hubby, my furry pet loves. Thankful for art prints of works I couldn't otherwise afford. The color green...the idea that people are trying to take responsibility for themselves, for change. THANKS ROSS FOR YOUR ENERGY! Thanks blog buddies for being cool funny interesting and welcoming. LOVE wireless internet too, and silly jokes. Thankful that I'm spent...xoxox

Lazer hair removal! Fantastic.
Apricot Jam. Delicious.
Toaster Strudel.

Welcome KimTX

Always thankful for my wonderful hubby of 21 years and my awesome kids! Just going to be the four of us as my husband's and my brother's and sister's live 1000 miles away! (Maybe I should be thankful for that???)

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all!!!

Get paid to watch tv ????...I want that job!

xxooxxoo

I'm TOTALLY watching Oprah right now! I was like HA. Oprah is awesome, hands down.

I KNOW you will be on Oprah one day! I think it will most likely be in the next year to come!

Hi Ross~
You would be the most entertaining guest on Oprah. But are you willing to cry on tv? :-)

I'm most thankful that I like my life right now. I like my boyfriend and everything we get to do and I actually like my job too. Not a lot of people can say that!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone~

Ross;

I am thankful for my family and my wonderful partner with whom I will celebrate 11 years on our anniversary cruise next week. (Thankful that we take a vacation to celebrate this anniversary every year!)

Further, I am thankful for you Ross, and all you do for your BB's.

Finally, I am thankful for being #1 today on the Rossblog...feels like I hit the Ross Lottery.

Love you buddy, keep on keeping on!

happy Thanksgiving, Ross, WeeWee & bb's!
I am thankful for my wonderful son,
good health,
my job,
the sunshine,
my friends and family,
and for you, Ross! You bring me a smile everyday!
love a peace to all! enjoy your thanksgiving!

I'm thankful that the Ross Blog is not one of self aggrandizement like some blogs are.

I'm thankful for all of my wonderful students who work so hard all year, and I'm especially thankful for those moments when the lightbulb finally goes on. It's the best feeling in the world.
I'm thankful for you, Ross!!!!

Hi Ross and buddies!!

Iam thankful for everyone in my life.

Ross you are too much.

Hi Ross and Blog Buddies!
This is my first time posting. I am thankful that I found your blog, which was just recently. I have watched all your talky blogs and I have to say Ross you look FABULOUS! I didn't even recognize you. I loved seeing you on Leno and never knew you did a blog thingy. Anyway, I went to Big Lots today and I saw that coloring book with that ugly bear thingy on the cover and I immediately thought of you and Nicki and $5 fun so that song was in my head the whole time I was there. I hope you get to be on Oprah. I live outside of Chicago and I have been a fan of hers forever. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. See you 'round the blog.

my fav thing is i found U Ross thanks to your friend Rosie. I am crazy for U and your little doggie child too!! I have a 4 year old Carin Terrier and I adore him as I adore you...luv to you and your little girl too!!

I am thankful of course for my family, husband and kids but I am also thankful for

DARK CHOCOLATE!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Mystic Tiffy:

"Sunny Side Of The Street"

Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street

Can't you hear the pitter-pat
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be complete
On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade with my blues on parade
But I'm not afraid...this rover's crossed over

If I never had a cent
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street

OK, my co-worker friend just walked by and I told her I was watching your talky and that you were watching Oprah's Favorite Things episode and she said "What's that?"!! She didn't know about Oprah's Favorite Things either!! How?!! Love that show!!

I am thankful for Ross' talky blogs because they give me a break in my work day, I'm thankful for strawberries warm from the sun, I'm thankful for ice cream, and I'm thankful for the way dogs wag their entire bodies when they're really happy.

Hi Ross! I LOVE your BLOG..I'm a first-time poster/commenter...or whatever... Anyways, I was inspired to post b/c of todays topic....I am so thankful for family/friends/my new husband/my cat/and stuff like that..but, most of all...I am VERY VERY VERY thankful for M&Ms. I love them so much..and I don't know what I would do w/out my 2pts of Ms every day...sigh...I love them. Thank you M&M gods...

have a great holiday, y'all!
~Kim

7) MY BOSS IS AWAY THIS WEEK
8) THE WINTER IS FINALLY APPROACHING (I HATE SUMMER AND THE HEAT)
9) MY ELECTRIC CAN OPENER

Besides being forever thankful for my family including my two white dogs and one orange cat, I am thankful for finding the Ross Blog this year; it has given me many hours of pleasure and brought with it so many really good friends.
I am especially thankful for my new grand daughter Naomi and for God who let me keep my almost 96 year old mother a while longer.

Also, I am thankful for my two dogs-Jackson and Josie, my brother, and my aunt. I am thankful that I got to know my parents for the amount of time that I knew them. I was blessed to have such wonderful parents. One more thing, I am thankful for the life that God gave me!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Ross and bloggers. I am thankful that I made it through a heart problem this year and am now recovered. Thank you Lord for taking care of me. God Bless Us All.

I like it when Daria's voice comes from the other side of the wall. It's like on Home Improvement when Tim used to talk to the neighbor who was always behind the fence.

Happy Tuesday...

Ross - OMG - I had forgotten about Oprah's Favorite Things - thank goodness, I only missed 5 minutes - THANK YOU!!! I think I would literally crap my pants if I was in the "Favorite Things" audience!!!!!!!!!

Okay - things I am thankful for:

I am thankful for the memories of my father. (I miss him more and more every day!!) Thankful that my mother came thru her surgery successfully yesterday. I am thankful for my brothers and my sister. I am especially thankful for MR. MEK......

Ok, Totally-Covered-in-Freaking-Goosepimples-Right-Now-Moment.......

I had just finished watching Oprah's Favorite Things and hopped in the shower to get ready for my date with my Hubby tonight..Anyways, While I was in the shower, I
totally had an epiphany that Ross should be a guest on Oprah! How freaking amazed was I that Ross was thinking the same damn thing I was at practically the same time???

I am sitting here towel drying my hair and watching the new talky blog and Ross says the same thing I was ,in today's blog. As Ross would say at this unbelieveable coincidence, "OMG, SHUT UP!!!" lol.

Ross, I totally hope that you do become a guest on Oprah! Can we start a letter writing campaign or something to help you??? Maybe the audience can be filled with Blog Buddies! How fun would that be?? WOW, I am STILL blown away!

Have a great day everyone...I am off to do my hair and finish getting ready for Date Night :o)! Ciao for now!

Yes, Oprah!

What a blessing to get to be on Oprah today! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see Josh Groban in person.

I'm thankful for my family, my friends, my dog roxie, and for having the time to spend a little bit of guilty pleasure watching the ross blog. Thankful that you put a smile on my face everyday when I watch you in your daily life. Thanks and I mean that! It's so fun you always take away any negative feelings I may of had before I watched you. Thanks Happy Turkey Day. Are you going home for Thanksgiving Ross?
Dana

There's always more room at the Thanksgiving table.....Welcome Megan, KimTX, Cheryl!

My gratitude list I'll post later. Right now I'm just pumped reading all of yours, and it's almost time for Oprah here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From Area51...
*Diva @12:38~Dang! Sandie's post (which 'jumped' above yours) beat me to the punch. I was going to say the exact same thing.........bring it on!

*Amicus~Loved the cat burglar story! I have a cat that loves to curl up under the warm glow of the lamp on the sofa side table. Had to move my phone from that spot, 'cuz I was always afraid he'd auto-dial 911. :)) Enjoy your long weekend.

Re: Rosie's new blog --Awesome. I especially like the dated photo thumbprints and the absence of Google Ads.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Melissa the RPM~Gratitude Journals are a wonderful daily ritual. Found a blank book spiral one years ago at Borders (called 'Counting my Blessings' by Artworks). Loved its format so much, I bought 5 more. They make beautiful, thoughtful and thought provoking gifts. I've found there's much to be grateful for every day if you adopt the right mindset. Have to admit I've had days that it's hard to think of something more than "Nothing bad happened today", but sometimes the best things in life are the things that DON'T happen.

I'm thankful for cranberry sauce that keeps the shape of its can and country music!

I'm not going to rush through being thankful for my family and friends. They helped me so much through my treatments and they're at the top of the list each day in my gratitude journal.

okay
1st-I am so thankful for this week off from work because I have time to post on the ross blog! woo okay the most embarrasing but true things im thankful for

starbucks venti black ice tea

renting old black and white movies from blockbuster or renting them free from the library

finding GOOD jeans that actually fit me

bare minerals makeup

mascara goes with that too

salvation army

old albums for .99cents

Milk Chocolate

Heaters

Nail Polish

I love New York! I love me some Vh1

gosh im such a girl!
and of course the rossblog!

I read a study the other day that claims people who are grateful actually sleep better at night. I decided to start a "Journal of Gratitude" today, and it's amazing how much I have written already. The usual God, family, friends, animals, etc. but also books, music, creativity, technology, and so many other things as well. Focusing on your blessings is a healthy thing and I hope that we can all do so more than just once a year. Happy and Safe Thanksgiving to all! :-)

Hi Ross and bloggers! First time for me. Been on LOA from work for awhile and I'm sooo very thankful that I can finally return to work next week! Had double surgeries.:( Ok now :). Thankful for everything good in the world! Your talkies were the highlight of most of my days! THANK YOU!

Hi Ross! Oprah filmed her favorite things show right here where I live, in central Georgia. Go to www.macon.com to see all the Oprah coverage while she was here....

hi ross =]
I know what you mean about Oprah's Favorite things. My little sister and I are always so excited to just watch it. imagine being there in the audience. I'm always a little jealous of them =]

anyway, I'm thankful for my amazing family and my friends who are always there to share laughs and tears. And most of all I'm thankful for just being able to wake up everyday with a reason to smile. Life is great, let's just all be thankful for living =]

Ross, a gal I graduated with in high school just taped an Oprah show Nov. 8th about her losing 300 plus lbs with diet & exercise (no gastric bypass). To make a long story short, since she's 50ish, never had boyfriend (nor sex), now that she's down to 180, she's having an affair with a married guy at the gym she goes to daily! Oprah didn't know this & I'll hate to see it air because O would never allow such a show she's produced. What a shame. At least kharma got her back cause she got hepatitis this summer (from the guy)! Ew! Icky! Yucky!
The guy told her he didn't care about all her extra saggy skin as long as she'd give him a bj. Then O had the plastic surgeon dr on who worked on Kanye West's mother & O was unaware of that mess.
Oprah's staff hasn't been doing their homework.

Reminds me of a blog comment a few days earlier about being aware of holiday scammers. It has also happened on this blog in the past with bloggers feigning illness, etc. so beware. Some bloggers supposedly befriend other bloggers, get their myspace, email, etc, info, then talk badly about them to others.

Which brings me to I'm glad I'm me. I don't need to beg bloggers to comment on my behalf, nor need stragglers holding on to my friendship for dear life just trying to fit in. The abusive bloggers have no desire to hear about their flaws so providing constructive feedback is pointless. Hopefully they're getting therapy & at least can't ever be a parent. Waah-bert. Woe is me.

I'm also thankful that Jeb Bush is considering running for pres in the future, along with his son!! Woohoo Tiger!

Hi everyone: I am thankful for the family, friends, pets, etc. Aside from them I am thankful for the gifts that God gave me, my favorite being music. I love it and would be happy playing it 24/7 if I could.

I'm thankful for the internet as I have met many friends through it and I love email and myspace.

I am thankful that I have my own home to live in with my family.

I'm thankful for the new changes I have seen in my family that are positive (hubby and daughter have many disabilities including Tourette Syndrome). I'm thankful for the medications that do help even if they can't cure.

Have a good rest of the day.

Hiya Ross, Wee-wee & B-Buddies

I am Thankful that YOU are a Joy unto Yourself, and you don't mind showing it to all of us and the rest of the World. I think that's what befriends us most. So, Thank You for being You!!!

We will ALL Pray & Believe that you WILL be on Oprah and she WILL Love You too. It WILL happen, and she WILL be Tickled!

Blessings! ... & Happy ThanksGiving ALL!!!

MissChris in TX & Boopers!

Hi Ross,
I just can't watch Oprah's Favorite Things show cause there's way too much screaming & loudness going on. I enjoy calm. I also no longer watch the Today show for the same reason. Can't hear the hosts speak with all that yelling in the background.

One of the things I am thankful for is YOUR BLOG AND TALKY BLOG....
Today, with white strips was fun.... when u r off the wall, all the better.
So I am thank ful for you!

WHITESTRIPS TIP: breathe with your mouth open for a bit before you put them on, then your teeth get really dry and the glue sticks better.

And i also LOVE oprah's fav things.
And i'm thankful for talky blogs and Dina Lohan.

Hi All, Anyone going into Chat. I'm there now looking to discuss tonights Dancing with the Stars results. ANyone interested let me know. Dana

Oprah's show was wonderful today.....especially Josh Grogan. I've gotta have that CD!!!! Beautiful!!! If that won't put you in the proper holiday spirit, then nothing will!

I am thankful to have good friends and I am very thankful that I found my furbaby 5 years ago. She is the child I never had.
I am thankful for Ross & his blog. It cheers me up.
I am very thankful for great BB friends who pulled me through a difficult time. You guys helped me more than my other friends or family.
I have also thought it would be great if Ross was on the Oprah show and Ellen's show too.
Happy Thanksgiving to my second family which are Ross & Louise and you guys on here.

Ross - I'm thankful for many things - your blog is one of them - you are a bright spot in my day! And - I'm jealous you have a Volvo - I want one (I have a Saturn - should I do the "S" wave?!!).

Im thankful for my Grande White Chocolate Mocha every morning..and all the given things...God, Children, Husband, etc., And just where I am right now in my life. Plus the Ross Talky Blog! It makes my day better.

I am thankful for you Ross. I come home everyday and watch your talky blogs. The fact that you are always so cheerful and upbeat can turn my worst days into a smile on my face. Thank you for being you and doing your blog. Love them!

Jaz: I'm thankful that Yummy Mummy's on DWTS! She's hot, hot, hot!! Go Jenny!

Snaz: I'm thankful that I remembered I needed to flip up the tub drain in order to fill it to take a romantic candlelight bubble bath with my s.o. Duh!

Jaz: I'm thankful that my sometimes duh s.o. remembered she needed to flip up the tub drain in order to fill it to take a romantic candlelight bubble bath with me. Mmmm .... She's the best & has been for many years now.

Hi Ross and blog buddies!
I have a lot to be thankful for....one my family and my beautiful grandson!
But I'm mostly thankful for my mother. She's fighting cancer and every 10 days she goes for Chemo treatments. Her attitude is so positive it makes everyone around her smile! I thank God for giving her the strength to fight this nasty cancer! I am so thankful to have her here during the holidays, and I look forward to many more holidays with her!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
HUGS to all,
Peggy :-)

Thankful for your blog. I did love Rosie's blog also but I don't like the new layout. Also Oprah bores me. You don't though! Kisses to Louise please.

I am thankful to have my children, my grandson and my husband. I am thankful to have Maggie my little 10 pound Shih-Tsu who remains "the heartbeat at my feet." I am thankful that Ross shares such a big part of his life with Louise & that he really puts his heart into it and brightens the day of so many of us.

I am thankful to online shopping so that I can shop in my flannel jammies and have all the quilt fabric that my heart desires delivered right to my front door !

Hugs and Happy Thanksgiving to Ross and all the wonderful blog buddies here in Rossland.

HI ROSS..HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING!! i'M THANKFUL FOR MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND MY LIFE THAT I ALMOST LOST DUE TO OPEN HEART SURGERY...BUT HAPPY NOW. LOVE YOU, YOU ARE ADORABLE

I am thankful for modern science. It has given me the opportunity for my husband and I to become parents to two wonderful boys.

I'm thankful for Paul McCartney's new delux cd/dvd edition of Memory Almost Full. Also for 1/2 Fat Peppermint Ice Cream!! The beauty of Johnny Depp, the artistry of Meryl Streep, the wisdom of my husband and the pure sweetness and fun of Ross. There are few places where someone is focused so much on the fun of life/people than here...thanks Ross. Oh, read an article/interview about you on Yahoo News; we need to get you on your own talk show soon! hmmm. Oprah could be a start.

What's up with the voices changing on the Charlie Brown specials??!! (random)

First Celine and now Oprah? Ross, you're killing me here!

Hi Handsome Ross! Hi Daria! Hiya Bloggin Pals! :O)

Great Blog today Ross. Thank you for allowing us the chance
to Give Thanks. I would love to see you as a guest on Oprah.

LOL @ Daria singing. Ross, your teeth are absolutely beautiful
already. You're lucky. LOL @ you putting your white strips on
on the Blog. You're not supposed to talk with them in, LOL.

Say hi to Gloria for me, LOL. Too funny. I never knew anybody
that named their tv before, LOL. And while I'm just LOLing away
here, LOL @ Praise Jesus and watching tv with us. Great
Sales pitch at the end. Love you Ross. Thanks for everything. xo

Have a Great Evening Everybody.
Heys and Hugs to All. :O)

Besides the obvious & U all?HMM.. welllll I am grateful for a husband that will go back out to Ralph's/ grocery shopping for me (last minute) , when I don't feel like going back to buy something I forgot,at the store earlier...& which is where he is right now & as I am supposedly fixing dinner(London Broil) ,but instead took a quick peek right here for a few !;-) OK,. Happy TG soon to U all!

I am thankful for your humor Ross!AND other BB's too, please Keep it up!! Hugs JoanE~

OOOOOOOPPPS..he is back again must scoot!BYEEE!)

I'm thankful for my almost 20-year love affair!! Best time of our lives. Ooh la la :O)

Ross, I'm thankful that you finally put your foot down & put Whabbear in his place. Well-deserved! Did you see Rosie's new Comment Policy about no vulgarity, offensive, or inappropriate comments allowed on her blog?? Glad you followed suit, my friend.

I'm also so very thankful that today I returned the few Christmas presents purchased for others & have decided not to celebrate the holidays. It's too commercialized, & people are gift hungry. They're also hippocrites when they go to church only on Xmas & Easter, then spend the rest of the year with a bottle & dope.

I am thankful every day of the year & find it absurd that people choose one day of the year(Thanksgiving) to have to be reminded of what God's given to them.

Time to go watch Rocky Raccoon (Avril Lavigne) on DWTS. Avril & Mo must buy their eye liners at the same place (LOL)!~

I'm thankful that the Sox kicked the Yankees' butt once again!! Along with the Pats, Celts, ...

I love Oprah, taped it and will watch later..
I am Thankful for my family
I am Thankful for good books
and
I am Thankful someone from the Bush administration is finally telling the truth.
How about former Bush Press secretary Scott McClellan admitting in his new book..

"The most powerful leader in the world had called upon me to speak on his behalf and help restore credibility he lost amid the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. So I stood at the White house briefing room podium in front of the glare of the klieg lights for the better part of two weeks and publicly exonerated two of the senior-most aides in the White House: Karl Rove and Scooter Libby.

There was one problem. It was not true.

I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so:
Rove, Libby, the vice President, the President’s chief of staff, and the president himself.

Now if only Colon Powell would finally come forward.

Wishing the strike was over Jay would be having a blast.

here is a short list of life's luxuries that I am thankful for. wifi, laptops , wishlists on amazon.com , netflix , cellphones, the ross blog, the rosie blog, boing boing, , flickr, my digital camera and rechargeable batteries, digg, email, instant messaging, menopause, youtube, itunes, the ups man, ipods,.hot tubs, good food and wine..lol oh and dvr!!! Now add that to the essentials I am thankful for, like my husband, children, friends, dogs, a home, health, happiness. lol that was fun!

I am Thankful for My Family and I consider u a big part of my Family.. love u Happy Thanksgiving.... :)

So thankful for (in addition to the fundamental friends, family, health priority #1 blessings):
*Vets and all active military (despite their C.I.F. & his minions), and their families at home without them.
*Public servants (fire, EMS, law enforcement, hospitals) who seldom get to be home for the holidays.
*Retiring from career #2 in October.
*Books and music.
*The Internet: All the time saved for more important things, thanks to Google vs. trips to the library; email vs. snail mail; online shopping vs. circling mall parking lots.
*Trips to the library and the mall and writing real letters by choice sometimes.
*People willing to share of themselves with those in need through no fault of their own.
*Marie Callendar's Grilled Chicken Alfredo Bake.
*Ralph Lauren everything.
*A cozy fire, S.O., Pink Martini cd's,and DeKuyper ButterShots on ice. Purrrrrrrrrr-fect.

Safe travels and good eatin' to all BB's who might be M.I.A. from the blog for a few days. You all bring me great joy~~~~~~~~~~~Thanks!

Hi Ross and BB! I'm a few days behind now darn it. So I must catch up and briefly say that I loved yesterday's talky!

Dang Ross, made me want a new car... jealous! OMG, great stereo sound! I was tempted to turn up my speakers cuz it sounded so good! And I loved the scenery of trees that could be seen from your windows and moonroof... and closing with Celine all the way to your garage was classic! Did you time it or had to lengthen out the song?

Now for today's talky: I am thankful for...
- my parents
- my sister and brother in law
- their cat Bamboo
- my friends and bff JS
- my relatives
- my 14 godchildren
- my faith
- the career I have of being able to work with teenagers and help them grow closer to their faith
- my two hamsters, Kruk and Kuip
- friendly Ross BB and BABB
- Ross and Louise
- Daria and the TTS staff
- being able to wake up every day
- living in the bay area
- being 2 minutes away from the marina
- clean air
- good health

I am thankful for Ross and Rosie's blogs.

Hey Ross&blog buddies! I'm thankful for family, friends, my pets and of course health. But ALSO thankful for ROSS& the chance that i got to meet my idol Megan Mullally this weekend at Young Frankenstein. I can live happy now :)

The frivilous thankfuls: Jimmy John's sandwich #6 with extra avacado. OH MY WHAT A WONDERFUL THING IT IS INDEED! The music of 30 Seconds to Mars (first CD especially)!

The serious thankfuls:
I am thankful for my mom and my grandma and that they are healthy and happy. I am thankful for my health. I am thankful for having my apartment and all the nice things inside it. I am thankful my car is running nicely. I am thankful I have a job within my degree that I like and is exciting and constantly challenging me. I am thankful for my friends the ones in real life and in virtual life. I am thankful I have money in the bank. I am thankful for the pets in my life. I am thankful for being totally secure in who I am and what I stand for. I am thankful for --- well --- my life.

Happy Thanksgiving Ross and everyone here.

Without being corny- let me just say how Thankful I am for SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS.
My mom has always said "count your blessings, pal" and I do-but I also have a "lite" thankful list which is not full of true blessings like family, friends, health.

My "lite" thankful list consists of things like...the beach, naps, and great sit-coms on TV...and diet pepsi with crushed ice...and when the new puppy tinkles outside...also, strangers who are friendly when I'm out and about shopping....and lately, pumpkin-spice lattes from Starbucks (SORRY ROSS!)... your blog is on my list too though!!!!
