Stein, This One's For You
It was an honor to attend the wedding of Sassy and Gabe last night. Less than a month ago, I was shopping before heading up to work and I came across this super cute black/brown/bronze shinyish plaid dress with a big black sash. Not the fanciest dress I've ever seen, yet fancy enough to wear to Sassy and Gabe's/the Israel wedding, yet unfancy enough that I can wear it on Shab after. Last night I get to the Shmorg, and T-Dawg sees some other chick wearing this dress. While I like to be unique in what I wear, I thought it was pretty funny, we were both wearing the exact same plaid dress to a wedding. I sucked it up walked over, tapped her on the shoulder and yelled "MATCHING!", we laughed about it and that was it. Some girls would have been annoyed, but you know what, we were both the same size, so it's not like one of us looked hotter or fatter. Somehow we ended up next to each other many times during the evening. I mean it wasn't shocking someone else would have it, it was reasonably priced and from Zara. It's not like I found it at a trunk show. This scenario got me thinking about how thankful I am for not overreacting to the fact that 2 of us were wearing the same dress which will clearly show up in a photo album someday. So without further ado, and I know it's a month early, but back by popular demand here is my list of things I am thankful for:
1) My size 2/4/6 figure(varies by retailer).
2) My employee discount that not only works at Anthro, but it's sister/mother stores, Free People and Urban.
3) My stomach which can easily take on fast food day after day.
4) My average size shoe, not only do I feel bad for those ladies who wear 11/12's but also the girls who wear under a 5, they have it rough.
5) My singing voice, it makes for an interesting roadtrip.
6) My mental alarm clock, without it I would sleep til dusk.
7) The monthly Metrocard, which allows me to take the 1 train from 28th-34th and then get back on and head up to Times Square (is it time or times?).
8) Yachad, for letting me come back each time.
9) Yachad again, for giving me not one, but 2 free trips to Israel(go YBR '06 parts 1 and 2)
10) My lack of a uni-brow, those can get pretty nasty.
11) The upstairs of J2, it's just like a library only you can eat.
12) No allergies, can you imagine growing up without peanut butter on a spoon?
13) Chocolate powder, for making milk taste good.
14) Facebook, for letting me stay in touch with those I've met only once.
15) Wacky Mac, for making powdered cheese cool.
16) Being Jewish, yes the meat may be more expensive, but look at all the money we save on lobster.
17) The best for last, my friend/fans, without them none of this would be possible.
Thank you.
What are YOU thankful for?
