HAPPY 25th ANNIVERSARY TToT!
I’m pretty sure Lizzi hinted something to the effect of naked people and a cake?! Well, that’s what I heard so that’s what I’m goin’ with. I had better see some nudity, preferably in the form of a hot man. I call licking the spoon!
Uhhh, I see cupcakes, but no hottie. WTF? I guess I have to take matters into my own hands, AS USUAL. Please take the time to peruse the at least 15 extra special cakey new additions to my *special* Pinterest board. It was tough research, but I think you’ll appreciate the outcome. Enjoy. I know Lizzi will.
ANYway, I have plenty to be thankful for, but am also a bit panicked because as I’m typing it’ll be just *looks at watch* four hours before my two boys will be home from school for the next nine days. NINE DAYS. This is something to be grateful for. Probably. And I am. A little. But part of me is also squinching (that’s a word, autocorrect!) because of all the writing still on my plate that I’m clearly not going to finish this month as I’d hoped. I sort of forgot about that whole nine days I’m home with the kids right after five days with my family. So I’m taking the pressure off myself *lifts off and throws*. I’ll finish when I finish. *sticks tongue out at no one in particular*
Now on to some fun stuff, you know, since I have no more pressure on me. Yippeeee!
I’m thankful the pressure to finish all my editing this month is gone. Thank you, Beth! Oh, no problem! You’re so welcome! You’re the best! No, you are. No YOU are. Stop! You stop!
I’m thankful for birthdays, namely my good friend, Kathy’s, because she always chooses our favorite Ethiopian restaurant, Queen of Sheba, to have her birthday meal, and it’s always the best day ever. The aromas…the tastes….the whole experience is transcendent. Happy Birthday, Kathy! I had SO much fun. See you in a few weeks for mine. Guess where we’re goin? My mouth is watering already. 
I’m thankful that my almost-fiancé-sextape-partner Adam Levine was chosen sexiest man alive by People magazine! Wooop! Good job, sugar-buns! Way to work it!
….and thankful/tickled that people went out of their way to text and call me, alerting me of the above news. The fact that others associate me with him is the most fun thing EVAH. My work is done. Now if I can just get him to do it….*taps finger on chin deviously*
I’m am infinitely thankful for maid services. I don’t use them on a regular basis, but every so often I have a full cleaning done…and ermergahrd…I have two boys who keep me picking up after them constantly….to come home to this e-n-t-I-r-e house immaculate….all at once…I have three words for you: better than sex.
I’m so very grateful for Movember, because beards. BEARDS. Facial hair is sexy as hell. Doesn’t have to be full beards, in fact, I prefer goatees, scruff, shadows…ohemgee…hot. This is my favorite time of year. The hubs is looking scrumptious.
I’m grateful for the weather, and this will count for two thankfuls:
a) for bringing cold weather so I can live in beanie hats for the next three months.
b) for bringing “fronts” and “pressure systems” and “drama weather” so I can finally win the weatherman argument with my husband! Our one biggest, never ending disagreement is over meteorology. He thinks weatherman are as full of shit as palm readers (hey – I love me a palm reader!) and I happen to respect the profession. I mean, it’s based on science, people. SCIENCE. I digress…
Watching the weather at our house is down right comical because I staunchly defend them while he’s busting out an exaggerated forecaster impersonation, which is actually funny so I try desperately not to laugh. Jim knows, he KNOWS, they are right more often than not, he just won’t admit it. This Winter I’m making a graph…I’ll show him….muwahahah. Last night they predicted a strong front bringing cold and rain. IT HAPPENED.
Weatherman – 1, Jim – bigfatzero. SUCKIT
I’m thankful for last minute babysitters! We’re going to the movies – WOOP! I think we’re seeing…..oh, who am I kidding. I don’t even know. I’m in it for the popcorn….
Yes. That’s a stein of wine.
(We saw “The Armstrong Lie”. It was pretty interesting. But I drank a freakin’ gallon of wine. The Smurfs would’ve been interesting.)
And that’s ten! No no no, don’t go back and count….it’s ten. Shhh. shhhh *pets your hair* Now go on to comments and tell me what you’re thankful for, or join up with the TToT group yourself! Do you trust weatherman? Come on, pick a side! Are you on Team Beth or Team Loser Jim? I heart your comments BIG!
Beth Teliho 
Hi Beth, fantastic post, with an extra 10 points from the Irish judge for the eye-candy scoring 4 important Inion N. Mathair stud-muffin-picks. Of course you know my discontent over my daughters choice in scrawny tattooed rockers, (she clears her throat) that you just so happen to be ex-wifey too! Yes, okay People magazines sexiest man alive is the first man I’m talking about! & yes, he’s gorgeous, Mrs. Levine!! 😛 Shhh…don’t tell Inion! I’ll never hear the end of it.
You get that plug, only because of the other 3 I’m talking about. First and foremost, our dream-boy to play the arrogant Kevin Yager, (Aaron Johnson) Luv him & can’t tell you how happy I was to see him in your pics. 2. Joe Mag….. okay the really big Italian from True Blood, Big Dick Richard from Magic Mike (she blushes) did I really just say that?! & the nasty lil shit bully from Spiderman! Boy did our boy grow up nicely. See what stalking super hero’s will do for ya? Does the body better than milk!
As for the 3rd, of course it goes to the gorgeous Magic Mike himself, the only white boy I’ve ever seen move his ass like that. Good Lord, thank you for that southern hunk!! Now that I’ve got that out of my system, Inion N. Mathair has to be team Jim: Hold up….let me tell you why before you spaz & think we’ve betrayed you. We’ve been discussing this, recently at our writers group party, where we use the artistic ploy to eat at a nice restaurant owned by our dear friend, Richard & get buzzed on wine. You came up in the table-talk. We were telling the mayor of our town (whose my grandfather’s old golfing buddy) & our writer friends, about OUR crazy Bethie! What bought you up, was our group leader who I quote said: Whose the pretty blonde on your blog when you first pull it up? We said & I quote: “Oh…that’s our Bethie!” You held the conversation quite nicely for twenty minutes without even being present, when Inion made the statement: Her husband has to be awesome, to have nabbed a girl that frigging great!! Taaaadaa See that? Compliment you by way of your husband! Two birds with one stone & that’s all we have to say! 🙂

Oh…I had to read your comment to Jim and he just smiled so big! So sweet! He does consider himself very lucky, but for real, I’m the lucky one! He’s the best. 🙂
I mean, he read this whole post and even looked over my pinterest board and just shook his head grinning….who does that? He’s a man confident in himself and that’s just HOT.
I also have to thank you again for the spotlight share on your blog. I’ve had so many visitors (and followers!) from it and I appreciate you two so very much!

Sooooo I *think* this is our first multi-coloured text rainbow-post, which is AWESOME for the big partayyy – totally love it.
I have no idea what Ethiopian food is like, but it sounds great, and looks amazing, all on that big plate at once.
Nine days should be FUN FUN FUN! Get the maid round afterwards and you’ll never know it happened.
WINE? At the movies? Wow! I’m not sure you can even do that here! That must make it a million times better…does wine really go with popcorn? Might have to try it once I’m back on wine again…
Talking (or arguing) about the weather is pretty much a national pass-time here. Like queuing, or drinking tea. We LOVE to be all up in what the warm fronts and areas of high pressure are doing, just so we can have a conversation starter. But we do like to bitch about the weathermen, HOWEVER, we seem to take them on trust but glory in their downfall when they’re wrong…not sure which team that leaves me on…

Nine days will be fun now that I’m not stressed. We actually have a lot of fun things planned. WOOP! My kids are a hoot and I’m sure they’ll make me laugh a lot.
The theater we went to was an independent one (The Angelika) so they have wine/beer/pizza etc. — it’s the shizz! That was a “double wine” and I was quite lit by the time I finished it. What’s that word you taught me….the English word for making out? That almost happened in the theater…that’s what happens when you have a double wine at the movies.

Indie movie theatres sound AWESOME. I’m gonna have to try to find one of them. I’m not sure it’s something we go in for a lot over here – seems most of them are big chains, which cost the earth and have a horrible atmosphere. And most definitely no booze.
Snogging. You mean snogging. And it only NEARLY happened? Was the film that good? THAT’S WHAT GOING TO THE MOVIES IS FOR! *facepalm*

Well, we went into the movies with the actual intention of WATCHING it, so we didn’t choose prime snogging realty, if you know what I mean. So when the idea occurred to me, I realized we’d become the show if I acted on it because we were 2/3 down in the theater where everyone could see us!
although I spend a luxurious amount of time *working* on my board, in actuality it doesn’t take me long to find those delicious photos because Pinterest is a freakin’ machine! You just plug in “hot guys” and they are all over you instantly! (that’s what she said last night)

Your weatherman comments remind me of the movie “LA Story” from years ago.

After our 4th baby was born, I insisted on a cleaning service to come in every other week. It was a happy time in my life. It lasted for several months. I’m thinking it’s about time to get back on that bandwagon.

I was afraid of wasting my life in front of a TV. I worry less about that now and just use my brother’s netflix password (shhh don’t tell him) to periodically binge when the mood hits.

Kari, I’ve missed you! Yes, I would happily share my gal….but I bet she couldn’t commute to you unless she had a private jet, and I don’t pay her that much. 🙂
That’s sucks about your wedding photos….haha! I mean, it doesn’t suck-suck, like it’s not the worst thing ever, but it’s a little bummer for your hubby.
So cool that you’ve had Ethiopian food! Yes, the bread – enjera. Yummmm. Oh, and I know, totally ironic. Whenever I say I’m going to eat Ethiopian food, people always used to say, I thought they didn’t have food, or, my favorite, you’re going to eat rice? GAH.
You have great Thanksgiving, too!!! XOXO

The wine thing was cuz we were at an Independent theater that served alcohol, and it’s totally fun and cool, but they charge you reDICulous to have it! That solo cup of wine was like $18!! And it was cheap shit that gave me a headache. Next time we’re sneaking flasks of it in instead FO SHO. F#ck that shit.
Uh….yeah…Mr. Skarsgard can take me to the red room any day and twice on Tuesday. jeezuz.

Sneaking a flask sounds MUCH better. And hahah to the red room. I’d even let him take me in a crappy gas station restroom. He’s that hot.

I am grateful for this post, for everything on this post (Except Adam Levine. You can have him. My husband is way hotter) and your pinterest board, and your sense of humor, and the fact that you get maid services.
And tolerating my rambling on this comment.

Thanks, Katie! For letting me have Adam. Truth be told *lowers voice to a whisper* Mr.Levine is not even in my top 3. If he didn’t sing and have all those tattoos, he’d be pretty average. And I don’t like a guy I’m pretty sure I could bench. That being said, he does sing, and he is covered in tats, and I wouldn’t turn his scrawny ass down, either.
But I’d take quite a few on my Pinterest board first, thankyouverymuch. 🙂
And I love when you ramble.

There are few things more exciting in life than a clean house, that you did not have to clean yourself. Good for you. Movies + wine – sounds awesome!

Now if only Adam Levine could show up to perform your maid service that would definitely be better than sex! Even with just hubby and me, I still have thought about getting the house cleaned by the pros. I love how your posts are so out-there and yet down-to-earth at the same time. That’s no easy feat, so keep ’em coming.

Do you know, I’m so relieved to read that somebody is happy about Adam Levine making sexiest man – I don’t really know who he is or much about him, but there’s been so much negative outcry I’ve been feeling sorry for him!!

I’m so late to this party that I might as well have stayed home, but may I add that our husbands have the very same weather man/woman philosophy. IT’S EFFING SCIENCE! HOW CAN THEY NOT UNDERSTAND THAT?! I LOVE when the local guys get all excited about impending doom brought on by the weather gods. BRING ON “STORM WATCH – 2013”!
Adam Levine – ahhhh!

I missed seeing this when you posted this (must have been when I was out sick). I have always respected and appreciated weathermen/women. And I’m actually a weather freak in the winter always checking NOAA for any potential storms. Like the suck ass one that just hit Reno. And speaking of my fine city, it’s one of the most difficult cities in the U.S. to correctly predict the weather because of the shadowing effect from the Sierra Nevada mountains. The weather here changes constantly…during EACH DAY! I do side with the weathermen and I find that the National Weather Service (NOAA) to be amazingly accurate! I fell for the cupcake part like a mouse after cheese in a trap and clicked on the link. LOL! 🙂

YAY another Team Beth! And I love ya for it! I’m so glad you agree with me. It IS tough to predict the weather, and I also totally respect their job! GO NOAA!!! Yes, weather around mountain regions is crazy-hard sporadic and unpredictable! Sorry you guys have had bad storms! We just got a hard arctic blast today….supposed to have some significant ice tonight and tomorrow! Yikes! I love snow but hate ice.
