Things I Wouldn't Say I'm Thankful For

Do you have a family tradition at Thanksgiving where you go around the table and say one or two things you're grateful for each year? You always hear the same things, like family, friends, health, etc. While I agree that I'm also grateful for these things, there are certain things that I'm grateful for that I wouldn't exactly announce at the family dinner table.


1. *Those* jeans, that make my butt look great, and my rattiest, most comfortable sweats.
2. Having my own apt where I can do whatever I want uninterrupted and don't have to share the remote, snacks, my blanket/bed, and I can set the temperature at whatever I please.

3. Strong wifi signal, and stronger coffee.
4. Modern technology,  particularly Uber.

5. Modern medicine, especially Midol. 
6. Cancelled plans when I'm really tired, or it's really cold outside.

7. Any day I don't have to set an alarm clock to wake up.
8. Paid sick time regardless of whether I'm sick or not.


9. Any time I go out drinking and don't wake up with a hangover. 
10. Great sex.

What are some things you're grateful for that you wouldn't want to share with your whole family?

 Have a happy Thanksgiving!

    Is #9 a possibility? I can't have three beers without being sluggish the next day.

    Oh I'd definitely say at the table I'm grateful for good sex! Nothing is as awesome as making the family dinner awkward as possible and giving my parents something excellent to think about while they eat... :)
