As it is now tradition, I will spend part of my post exulting the joys of turkey and stuffing. I ate the last of my Thanksgiving delights Sunday night. As I was savoring the turkey meat, pumpkin soup, and half of a cherry pie, I thought about those Thanksgiving lists I had to make when I was 10. I think I am overdue to write another one. It does feel weird that this list is not in crayon.
- Turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. Oh and D's mother's cranberry and quince chutney.
- A bowl of sugary cereal at 2 am in the morning after glutting oneself in leftovers.
- Friends who will g-chat with you, when you are procrastinating work.
- The internet. I love that I can buy anything and fact check anything at a moments notice. Last week, I ordered dinner, a pair of wool socks and multiple lab supplies all within a matter of minutes.
- Journal Club Friday.
- Puns.
- Movies that make me cry. Movies that make me laugh. Made-for-TV movies made in the eighties and nineties.
- Alcohol. Even better is alcohol shared with borderline heterosexual friends that make super bitchy comments about Bostonites in supposedly hip outfits that are very ill fitting.
- Less hair in "the soccer mom" cut way not in the "I'm balding" way.
- Orthopedic shoes.
- The freaky plant that V gave me 3 years ago. It is the first plant I have ever grown that has not died.
- Postcards.
- All pranks and passive aggresive behavior that makes your victims feel uneasy for days.
