Micoblog Monday - Order What?

Today's Microblog Monday topic just floored me. Why? Because I can't even!

Would you ever let someone choose what you’re going to eat at a restaurant?

Absolutely not!

First off, it's mostly because I am too picky for words. I don't like certain foods mainly because I just don't like the thought of eating it. Or the texture doesn't appeal to me. And then there are flavors that I've tried and won't try again. Or just don't want to try.

Secondly. And this is probably obvious. I'm a control freak.

The very thought of someone else picking what I eat is almost more than I can handle.

Sure, you'll probably get it right. If I am in this situation with you, you'll more than likely know this about me. You'll know what I like and what I find gross. You'll know what textures and flavors repulse me. There are maybe a handful of people I'd let pick what I eat at a restaurant. And there are some that I would get up and walk out if I had to let them choose.

See? This just isn't an ideal situation for control freaks! Oh my goodness!

Ok, Let's Try This #MicroBlogMonday Instead

So. The NaBloPoMo thing really didn't work out for me this month.

It was a combination of life, work and... life! I would have liked to have stuck to the commitment and followed through. I really do. And I'll probably try this again. And do it to the best of my abilities and hope it works out a little bit better!

So, I did see this from BlogHer's Mel. Her Micro-blogging Monday topic hit me. So. Let's discuss!

Here's the topic:

If you live in the US, what did you say that you were thankful for(at Thanksgiving)? And if you don’t live in the US, it’s a nice practice to pause from time to time and reflect on what makes you grateful so join along. What is on your list?

I am thankful that I was able to spend the day with my incredibly amazing parents. They have had a year. I'm glad to have them here. I will forever appreciate their love, support, guidance ... friendship. They are wonderful people. And those words don't seem enough.

I am thankful for my job.

I am thankful to be fairly healthy.

I am thankful for my extended family.

And, I am thankful for friends who have become like family to me.
