Yes, a test post counts toward NaBloPoMo. I also get extra points because I downloaded the app and wrote and posted it from the train during rush hour. Go me!

Thanksgiving is slowly becoming my favorite holiday. Gone are the days when an all-out beer binging Fourth of July reigned supreme. I had a nice day; dinner and dessert with my dad’s family and coffee and more dessert with my mom’s family. I was also blessed to have boyfriend with me at both.

During dinner, my aunt got all sappy, forcing us all to say things we are thankful for. I set the tone by stating my thankfulness for Bill Belichick. In all seriousness, I am thankful for many things in addition to Bill Belichick and the Patriots. I’m thankful for having a great family, a gorgeous boyfriend (yeah, I’m shallow – what of it?), and a great job.

And now, I can sit back and enjoy the Denver Broncos – NY Giants game, even with the occasional Josh McDaniels F-bomb (FYI, NFL Network has very crisp sideline audio). I’m also going to have more pie.
