a year in the life

Happy Thanksgiving!  This year I am thankful for:
-  Gilmore Girls reunion.  Stars Hollow - this is the America I want to live in.
-  La La Land - ok I haven't seen it yet but I already love everything about it.
-  Family - even though it's been a hard year, I am grateful to have another year around the table with the people whom I live for.
-  Crazy Ex-Girlfriend - season two theme song not as great as original and Greg leaving is just unacceptable, but man, I am so happy to have a season two of Rachel and Paula and Darryl and White Josh and Heather and even Valencia.  Oh, and Josh just happens to be there.
-  Grocery Outlet - I love bargain hunting.  Going to Grocery Outlet on Saturday mornings for grocery run has sort of become my routine.  Yes, my transformation into an old housewife is now complete.
-  James Blake and Bon Iver - Both came out with amazing new albums this year.  In my opinion, James Blake and Bon Iver haven't yet put out one album that's anything less than masterful.  It's music that's modern and soulful and touches me in all the right places. 
-  The return of Green Day - I remember seeing them back in the day in Berkeley, so it's awesome to see after all these years they still have with a fire lit under them.
-  i-Tea and Bambu - for satisfying my boba and dessert drink cravings.
- b Patisserie - I still dream of your banana chocolate croissants and kouign amanns.
- Work-at-work - I honestly don't know how I can ever have to commute five days a week to work again.
-  James Corden - my favorite talk show these days.  His joy is infectious.  Reminds me of Rosie O'Donnell when she had her own talk show.  I guess I like my talk show hosts to sing.
-  The social media star season of Amazing Race - I enjoyed this past Spring's season a lot.  That French Alps (or was it Swiss Alps, it's hard to tell with all that snow) episode was the best in a long while.  Damn CBS for not doing a fall season this year.
-  Coupons - Thanks JCP, Eddie Bauer, eBags, LLBean, and Kohl's for your $10 or $5 off coupons!  Keep them coming please.
-  Stock market not crashing - yet...
-  2016 almost ending - just one more month and we would have made it out alive.  Wounded but still kicking.
