This is GottaLaff. GottaLaff lives in Southern California, within headache distance of L.A. with her DH and occasional furry nephew. California has three seasons, Hot, Not So Hot and Rain. GottaLaff is PST and blogs 12ish-8ish EST (9a-5p PST) and works the Twitter Machine like a fiend while juggling radio appearances.
I have what specialists call “flu like symptoms” (i.e. digestive rebellion) so I’m going back to bed and hopefully will be back a little later. Apologies.
I’m not wont to big expressions of emotion, but even in my grouchy soul, I have things I want to acknowledge as well.
I’m thankful Jeff only lost a finger not a hand, slightly less thankful that the Cancer Troll came to visit, but VERY thankful that it left so fast. Thankful for my friends old and new that have made this past year one of the best I’ve had in ages. Thankful every day for such an easy and seamless partnership with GottaLaff
And finally, I’m grateful for each and every one of you guys who drop by to check out what we think is important, and are always ready with a snarky retort or cutting dig. You make me smile, and that’s a good thing.
In the (semi) words of my idol Lou Grant, “Yeah, I’m thankful for allayouse buns, so gettoutta here and don’t tell anyone I said that!”
