Thankful For Cheezies And All Things Good and Cheesy

Happy New Year to all of you, my dear friends, family, readers, stalkers, perusers, and ne'er-do-wells!

I would like to end this year on a positive note, and hence begin 2009 in the same fashion. I thought I could do this easily enough by telling you what I am truly thankful for, and my wishes for 2009. Some of them may seem cheesy, but they're real and honest, and I like Cheezies a lot, so do with them what you will. Just don't put down the Cheezies. Or the Cheetos. They are all that is true, honest, and good in this world, and closest to heaven.

Thankful For...
