There are at least three things conspiring to make the clock actually go backwards today.
1. I am working at a place that is shutting down in a few months (have I mentioned that yet?) and I have a severe case of the "F*&@# Its".
2. It is the day before a 4 day weekend that will be filled with delicious food and quality time with my beautiful bride.
3. I have been forewarned of an impending job offer, but prolly won't receive it before the day of giving thanks.
So, those three sichee-ations are adding up to today being excruciatingly long and tough to muddle through.
To lighten the mood, let's think of a few things to be thankful for in preparation for tomorrow, shall we?
First, I am thankful that JB and I spent a solid 1.5 hours each working on our clothes situation. Not only did we have a pile of "clean" laundry the size of Mount Kilimanjaro in our guest room, we also took some time to sort out the stuff we don't wear anymore. This was both freeing and distressing (dis-dressing. Get it?! Ha!). We had to be brutally honest with each other that some of the clothes that we've been wearing since, oh, high school have served their time, but need to die. I got rid of some t-shirts that I've known and loved for a very long time. So, there were some small victories, but there were also some disappointments. I don't think I was able to eliminate a single stretched-out, pilly, faded pair of JB's yoga pants. Not one. Mind you, she has about 30 pairs. Still has 30 pairs.
I digress.
Second, I am thankful that I got to spend time with my family this past weekend. We had great fun celebrating Libby's first year of life. I am also thankful that we will spend time with my MIL and Sis-In-Law tomorrow morning without having to drive to the Cape to do so. Not only that, but we will be participating in a rousing competition of Wii Fit tomorrow evening at my FIL's. It will be Team Goss vs. LD^2. Better bring my A game.
And Thirdly, I am thankful that writing this blog has brought me 20 minutes closer to the end of this neverending day.

I'm sharing this now...it is too funny for only me to read
since you want me to throw away my "old" yoga pants does that mean I can get new ones?
I'm impressed that it only took 1.5 hours to clean up...If Tim and I tried to tackle our laundry room it would take probably 4-5 hours..no joke I've tried and they're only his clothes!
