Thanks, World!

Please don't barf on your keyboard, but here are the things I am truly, DEEPLY thankful for this year and every year. I couldn't come up with a full 30 like everyone on Facebook, but here's the 15 I grudgingly drudged up for your enjoyment.

15. Facebook. Really. I joined it very grudgingly, but it lets me stalk keep in touch with people I wouldn't be able to otherwise.
14. Nicolas Cage. Because bad acting has never had a sillier face.
13. Wikipedia and Google. Self diagnosis is awesome, and I really feel like I know my doctor better now that I know how she feels about my chances of contracting Ebola. BTW, does anyone have a doctor who's a little more hypochondriac friendly?
12. Foster Friess. Dude, you're totally saving my marriage. Thanks for the advice, buddy!
11. The slow, gradual process of empathy development. It would really bum me out if my son figured out that it hurts when he leans all his weight onto his elbow as it's resting on my neck. These early years pass too fast!
10. The bag of Dark Chocolate M&Ms in my desk drawer.
9. Money as a reason not to purchase television service. I miss you not, Baseball playoffs.
8. YouTube Zumba videos. Because no one should have to look that ridiculous in public.
7. Stirrup pants with layered scrunch socks. I know no one else thinks of you so fondly as I do, but given the way fashion cycles, we'll be together again soon.
6. Friends that let me lick their faces.
5. My husband's uncanny ability to find me the perfect action figure to play with at my desk decorate my work space.
4. Chocolate covered potato chips. It's now been proven in the free market that people will both pay for and eat anything.
3. Sites that hide the comments on an article. That fount of wisdom burns too brightly!
2. The people of Great Britain. You know for sure where Texas and California are, gifted us with Monty Python, and still care greatly about the baby who will never actually have any useful amount of power in your government.
1. The noble Moose. I couldn't say for sure which one.
