Excuse #1: I got extremely sick last week. Normally that wouldn't be a hindrance in writing, but I was actually sick enough that just looking at the computer screen gave me motion sickness. I was exhausted. Weak. Pathetic. (Whimper.) I spent my weekend in mostly horizontal positions and/or fetal positions or worshiping the porcelain goddess. My train of thought was less along the lines of "What am I thankful for?" and more "holy crap I want to die," although I would say I became very grateful for Pepto Bismol and cranberry juice, as well as parents who were willing to take me in while I whined and complained.
Excuse #2: I went to California. Everyone knows that you can't get internet access in California. Okay, bad excuse, although the wireless connection at my grandparents' is pretty bad. But I spent more time being a tourist, writing a paper I didn't want to write, and drawing drawing drawing, all the while avoiding blogging. So another thing I'm grateful for: this trip I took to California. I hadn't been anywhere besides Idaho and Utah in over two and half years and it was driving me absolutely insane. Going to San Francisco helped cure some of the cabin fever.
Excuse #3: I'm lazy. Well, that's not really an excuse so much as an explanation. I considered blogging, but thought "no, I'll just write one on Thanksgiving and that's it." But then Thanksgiving came and went and I found considerable distractions (food, drawing, food, cousin and friends coming by, food, pie, finally watching the Harry Potter movie, food, pie, food, food, food) that just conveniently kept me from writing. But I'm grateful for the chance I had to have Thanksgiving here in California, see a cousin I hadn't seen in over five years, meet new people, have some delicious pie, and go see a movie by myself. I've never done that before, especially in an unfamiliar city. It was rather fun.
Also, pie.

You were in San Francisco and you didn't tell me or call me or anything??? You do know that's where I live, right? :)
Who's that wacko who keeps showing up in those pictures with you?
You might consider keeping a 'Tude journal - as in Grati-Tude, not Atti-Tude. (Although that might also be interesting.) I've been writing five things down I'm grateful for, for the past while, and just look what it's made me like! A total jerk!
By the way, do you want me to give you the pictures I have from that trip?
