Ten things I’m thankful for
Image via Wikipedia
1. My beautiful MacBook Pro with touch-pad mouse and 13-inch bright screen. How I love you.
2. The invention of frozen waffles.
3. A big, loud, emotional, gossipy, loyal-to-the-death Irish-Japanese family.
4. Learning TIME just shut down its Tokyo bureau — and not being there.
5. Two little people who blow raspberries on my belly.
6. A kick-ass lit agent.
7. An alarmingly happy childhood.
8. A mortgage-free home.
9. My parents, who helped me pay for it.
10. My husband, who keeps it — and us — running.

1. The little woman. To look at her you’d think she has great taste, but then you find out she’s married to me.
2. The munchkins. I knew knew I could love anyone as much as I love the kids.
3. My three-day-a-week job, which allows me to be home with numbers 1 and 2 a great deal.
4. My iPod Touch. 32 gigs of happiness.
5. Nunzio’s Pizza. The best pizza in New Jersey and it’s a block away from my house.
6. My friends. The reason is a plural rewrite of number 1.
7. Modern medicine. Without some cleverly aimed pharmaceuticals I’d be miserable.
8. Comedy. Almost nothing’s better than a good laugh.
9. Kurt Vonnegut. His little books changed my perspective on life and gave a voice to opinions I didn’t even knew i had.
10. That I’m a lucky bastard. I think of unfortunate people like Elizabeth Fritzl or that guy who was thought to be in a coma for more than 20 years before it was discovered he was conscious but paralyzed. Really, how can I complain or be sad about anything compared to that kind of torture?
