Thankful to have a jaw to chew on

Today I give thanks for many, many things. I've decided to list 100 things I'm thankful for.



Sike.


Yeah, I still say 'sike'.


But, to be serious for a quick (really quick) second, I am truly thankful for my family and friends (real-life and blogging), my health, and my salvation....


and the fact that I have an inner jaw to bite on when I'm feeling a little less than relaxed at large family gatherings. Because let's face it, they're enjoyable and nerve-racking all at the same time.


Here's a quick pic that M to the Izz-A snapped of me today just when I was starting to get my chew on.


See? It works like a charm. It looks as if I smirking, maybe even smiling a bit, but really I'm going to town on the inner lining of my mouth.

And make note, the situations in which this can be applied are endless.

Hey, it works people. Try it.

After we ate, we headed to the beach to take some family photos for our Christmas cards. I'll try to post a few of them tomorrow, after I side-jab my way through Black Friday. Don't expect much, Matt had one eye closed in 99% of them....and don't think I won't still slap them on a Christmas card for all to see!

Also, if I know Sal Gal, she will probably have her camera strapped to her hip while we make our way through the crowds tomorrow, which means a few of them will most definitely end up posted here.

Happy Thanksgiving ya'll!
