Happy Thanksgiving – Planes, Trains and Automobile Style

One of my favorite movies around this time of year is Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. It cracks me up every time, and I always think of this crazy lady and her gobble gobble gobble sound she makes on the phone.

Then Steve Martin’s character tells her what’s up…

A classic you guys! Classic! Then I realized, this movie is full of amazing gifs!!!! My life in Planes, Trains, and Automobile gifs

–Shelling out money for the latest iPhone

–In the parking lot after leaving Walmart

–Standing in line the day after Christmas to return something

–When life gives you a bitch slap

–When you have to shake some sense into your friend

–When someone pulls up in the car next to you and they catch you dancing

–That feeling when you take your bra off after an 18 hour day

–That look you give your friend when your mutual enemy is talking

–How 19 degrees feels after it was in the 70’s for a week

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!! Make sure to get your nap in after all that turkey!

On Being Thankful

Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and everyone likes to take time to reflect on what they are thankful for. I have plenty of things to be thankful for; my husband, family, dogs, our home, my job, friends, health, food, this blog and all the people I have connected with.The thing is, shouldn’t we be reflecting on that every day? Not just the big obvious things either, but all the little things we take for granted…

Pain relievers, toilet paper, extension cords, soap, washing machines, light bulbs, coffee, cars, beer, HVAC systems, chocolate, and the list goes on and on.

So as we enter in to this holiday season, every time you get frustrated because four different people want you to come to their house to celebrate on the same day…be thankful that you have those four people in your lives who care enough to want you there.

When your child is screaming in the store and wants all 987 toys they see in front of them, take a deep breath and be thankful that your child is healthy enough to want those toys. Some parents will spend their holiday in the hospital with a child fighting for their lives, or mourning the one they lost or never got to meet.

And when you are stuck in the holiday mall traffic, be thankful that we have men and women every day who are risking their lives for our country to have freedom and petty things like commercialism.

And of course, Wednesday isn’t really Wednesday without a few confessions.

Confessions in ecards

Truth.
