In honor of Thanksgiving, gorgeous blogger Miss Janey<\/a> asked me to tell my readers what things I’m grateful for. I could be really sincere and mention family, friends, health, a roof over my head, food to eat, and so on. But then I would have to slap myself for being annoying and obvious. So here are other things that I’m grateful for, and they all begin with G for gratitude.<\/p>\n

2. Gil Grissom<\/a>, who makes me believe all bad people will be captured, at least if they pass through Vegas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“What’re you rebelling against, WendyB?”
“Whaddya got?”

UPDATED<\/span><\/span> TO ADD: I’m also grateful to gifted blogger Dlisted<\/a> for mentioning my favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal: cranberry sauce from the can! Not only that, but he mentioned it in the same breath as Cool Whip, reminding me to walk around saying “Cool Hwip<\/a>” all day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
