So while we're at it, here are some things I'm NOT thankful for (2011 edition)

Admittedly, this may not be the healthiest practice, but creating of list of things I am not thankful for each Thanksgiving is slowly becoming one of my favorite Turkey-Day traditions. (Get a load of my 2009 unthankful list here and the 2010 one right here.)

Enjoy yourself today! Have a happy one, and stop feeling guilty. Just have that second slice of pie already.

This year, I'm totally not thankful for: 

  • Hang nails
  • Improper turn-signal usage
  • Stuck drawers
  • That Whitney show
  • Cold noses
  • Cold toes
  • The cold in general
  • (Also, having a cold)
  • Armpit stains
  • Commissioned-based sales people who follow you around a store
  • Stale chapstick
  • The time right between haircuts when your bangs are just slightly.too.long
  • Questionable drops of water that fall from the sky on sunny days
  • Bad puns in otherwise good television shows
  • Errant hairs
  • Realizing that your chocolate-chip cookie is actually an oatmeal-raisin one
  • Spotty cell-phone service
  • Layovers
  • Delayed flights
  • 3-1-1 for carryons
  • A burned tongue and/or roof of the mouth
  • Unwanted stickiness
  • Tootsie Rolls, or any candy trying to masquerade as chocolate (the jig is UP, Tootsie Rolls--just cool it!)

Guh.. the cookie one... that is hell right there.

For me, just those horrible Whitney promos is enough. I was sick of her cutesy-curtsying in the corner of my television screen months before the show even debuted. While we're at it, I'm sick of drop-dead gorgeous biotches who act like they are "just one of the guys."

Commissioned-based sales people who follow you around a store = guh, yes. how. annoying. And PS, this list is totally awesome.
