Why are people wishing me a Happy Thanksgiving via text message?  Is this the new thing?  Is this going to happen again come Christmas?  Should I be flattered?  Do I need to send a response?  So many unanswered questions!

Action Steve points out that the overwhelming majority of the text-givers are iPhone users.  I wonder if Apple is prompting people to start text spamming their buddies.  Those egomaniacal pricks.

In any case, I’m glad so many people thought of checking my name off as they went down their cell phone contact lists.  Sad though, that despite their best efforts, it’s been kind of a downer of a holiday.  That’s not what you’re here to read about though, this a happy blog.  Go watch…I don’t know, House? ER?  Curb your Enthusiasm?  Whatever show it is that’s all about sad people being miserable.  Watch that if that’s the kind of crap that gets you off.  Though I guess you really shouldn’t have needed me to tell you that, which would render the last four sentences or so moot.

On the plus side of things, I ate a whole freaking lot.  As any of you who know me even remotely, this is not a normal occurrence, even for Thanksgiving where binge eating is cool like listening to indie radio.  Three heaping plates of food, followed by a half tub of Ben & Jerry’s.  And I’m still hungry – I’m currently eying a stray can of Chunky New England Clam Chowder in the pantry.  Mommy is frightened that I am going to go back to school all pudgy-like.  I’m thinking it’s just making up for all the beer calories I haven’t been consuming this week.  Hope everyone else’s parents cook like mommy does =)

What am I thankful for this year?  I’m thankful that there are still five very healthy, mostly happy though largely bat crazy members of my family.  And I’m thankful that you people take enough interest in me to keep tabs on my thoughts instead of looking up the latest Lolcat or what have you that’s the new big thing on YouTube.
