Today I am very thankful that there is a 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, and that the episode commemorating it involves David Tennant.
I haven't seen it yet.
But I'm grateful that my future involves this fact.

November 22nd
Today I'm thankful that at work we occasionally have "Farmer's Markets."
No, we're not actually selling anything. It's a cooking competition.
Which means, all I have to do is show up, and I get samples of 25 attempts to sign the Skillet of Glory, and have it sit on the winner's desk until the next event. Basically, their competition is my breakfast.
And yes, I also get a chance to show off my Strawberry-Citrus Potion of Jubilation.

I am thankful for fire.
I am also thankful for wood stoves that contain the smoke from said fire. Now, that said, open fire places are quite nice, look beautiful, and create a nice ambiance when one is dipping strawberries in chocolate fondu. However, when the fire is first being lit, an open fireplace is apparently incapable of containing all of the smoke it first puts off.
In other news, we need a new smoke detector.

Today I am incredibly thankful that I have another apocalypse to look forward to!!!
I just found out that apparently Heimdall blew his trumpet, signifying 100 days until the Ragnarok!
Okay, having survived the December 2012 Mayan apocalypse, the May 2011 rapture, and the Y2K incident of 2000, I am pretty dang excited to see what this next apocalypse brings.
And I shall celebrate by acting out the Ragnarok with Norse action figures and a camera. You'd better believe I will.
Oh... and another thing for which I am thankful, when I asked my husband if we could throw a Ragnarok party, this was his response:
Heimdall finally blew the Gjallarhorn?!? Sweet! I was getting tired of waiting for that. I guess that means that Loki must have murdered Balder and rallied the frost giants already. The Valkarie must be arming their gathered warriors. Nidhog is almost done chewing through the roots of the world tree Yggdrasil. Fenrir is about to burst free of his chains. Jormungandr is going to rise from the sea. The universe is going to be utterly destroyed!!!

Then we're going to have a new world built by the two remaining Norse gods.
You bet we're going to have a party!

Today I'm thankful that Wal-Mart, famous for their quality-as-low-as-their-price business approach, managed to produce a single item that is higher quality than I have ever found anywhere else.
And what is this item?
Fruit Smiles!!!
Seriously... I love Fruit Smiles. Of all the fruit snacks I have ever encountered, these are my absolute favorites.

Today I'm thankful for leftover Italian Breaded Chicken, and mashed potatoes. Leftovers are the best. All that deliciousness, no effort!

Today I'm thankful for dates.
Since meeting Carl, I have gone on more dates than in my entire college career. We don't date as much as married people as we did as courting and engaged people, but we still go out fairly often.
And you know what? It's really nice. We have fun. We talk and goof off. We do cool stuff.
You know that whole love languages thing? Quality time is at the absolute top of my ways of expressing and receiving love. It's pretty high up on Carl's too, so we're lucky to have that in common. I'm thankful for that too.

Today I'm immensely thankful that the second Thor movie was not half as stuffy as the first one.
Seriously.
So, last night Carl and I watched Thor in preparation for seeing the sequel today. I didn't remember it being so... clenched-butt-cheeks. I remembered thinking Thor's character was hysterical, but when I watched the movie, he was just... taking himself way too seriously.
That said, I did get a solid laugh over the fact that Thor and Odin's most effective way of communication was to roar at each other.
Still, I wondered why I had liked Thor (the character) so much. And then I realized it was The Avengers. Seeing Thor contrasted with Tony Stark, who doesn't take anything seriously, and having his over-stuffy character used to add humor to the movie, made him awesome.
And I think the script writers figured that out for Thor II.
First of all, they kept the contrast between the stuffy Asgardian culture and the informal American culture, and used it to their own advantage.
Second, the movie didn't take itself too seriously. The fact that I spent the epic fight at the end laughing my head off is proof of that.
So, yes. This movie was leaps and bounds better than its predecessor. I thoroughly enjoyed it. :)
