I think Claire at zulkey.com has the best blog list idea since the Friday Five (which, if you ask me, was getting a little dull). In honor of Thanksgiving, she wants you to make up a list of the five little things you’re thankful for this year. In other words, my list will not contain the item, “I am thankful that the world has not yet exploded in a deathly nuclear hellfire” or “Dear God/Mother Nature/Poseidon, thank you for not wielding your mighty force to produce a large tidal wave that would crush and, shortly thereafter, drown me and my beloved. I really appreciate that.” Instead, this year, I’m thankful for these things:

Almay One Coat mascara. Yeah, I’m one of those people that rarely leaves the house without mascara on. The thing is, I feel like a gerbil without it, but it’s usually the only makeup I wear.

Soy ice cream. Remember how I was gaining all that weight? Yeah, I still am.

Unsharp mask in Photoshop.

Twinings Earl Grey Tea. With an eensy bit of soymilk and honey. Every day.

My new hat. It is fluorescent salmon-colored and has been dubbed the Rasta Granny hat. See below.
