I'm thankful for...

Although Thanksgiving has technically come and gone, I still want to give thanks for...well...things I'm thankful for! So here goes, in no particular order:

*Music-it has soothed me many times. It has amped me up many times. I love the Germany playlist that Jen and I have made-it's random and fantastic.

*Big down blankets (aka cotton candy blanket)-kept me warm on the chilly European nights.

*Blue skies-I miss them. I hate cloudy, dreary days.

*German food-goddamn, it's good. So rich and filling. Real butter, spatzle, sausage. Mmm.

*My mom-she has been incredibly supportive of me throughout this whole process. She's taking care of my babies while I'm bouncing around Europe, and keeps me stocked up on American goodies we can't get here. Hells yeah!

*My babies-Whiskey, Pica and Sushi are the best group of pets ever. They are (seriously) what I miss the most about Vegas. I can email or skype everyone else, but not them :(

*European men-so much different than American men, who suck. A lot. I love foreigners.

*Germans-nowhere near as image conscious as the Americans, and very accepting of a variety of people. There's no pretense here, and they accept you for who you are, not what designer you wear or how you go about your life. So very refreshing.

*Dryers-very useful. I don't know why they aren't standard in every home.

*German beer-yeah, I said it. It has made me appreciate beer. Mmm, Augustiner!

*Oktoberfest-it's just brilliant. I think my other blogs have covered that.

*Free tours-gotta love what helps you learn more! I'm enjoying learning history :)

*Scarves, hats and gloves-wind sucks. They help. 'Nuff said.

*My friends-they mean a lot to me. I have a great group of friends, and I'm glad to know I can go back to them in Vegas. I just hope they accept the new version of me :)

*Straube-holy god, they're awesome. Apparently they're called honey crullers back in the states. They had better be the same in the US!!

Well, that's all I can think of for now. There are more things, but those are what come to mind at this point. Thanks, everyone!
