Thankful

Halloween is over.

Now on to Thanksgiving!

I probably won't post very often during November.

I'm doing NaNoWriMo again this year.

I did it several years ago, tried again the next year, and just haven't bothered again until this year.

But I'm trying again!

So I spend a good portion of most evenings working on that instead of writing here.

But I wanted to post tonight because I feel Thankful!

15 years ago on Halloween Melissa and I had our first date.

15 years ago tonight Melissa agreed to officially be my girlfriend.

That picture was taken right around then. We can't remember if it was from the day before, the day of, or the next day, but it's the closest we have to a picture from our "real" anniversary.


I'm thankful for a lot of things, but I am most thankful for her every day.



In case I don't post again, from everyone here to everyone out there:

Both banners by Geoff!

I hope you all have a lot to be thankful for, too!

Thankful! catching up... 11/26-30/2015

Finishing off the month of being T'hankful!


1. Food!

It was Thanksgiving that day! I have already been thankful for my family and friends so...

I ate a lot!

2. Vacation!

Time... off... of... work.

3. Leftovers!

My favorite Thanksgiving food, actually...

4. Games!

Board, Video, etc. All are fun with the right people!


5. Holidays!


I like holiday's so much!


That's why I write songs and draw stuff and do all the things I do during the Holiday Season!

That's it! Whew! Now we don't need to be Thankful for another year!

Just Kidding! Santa's watching...

Thankful! For Novelty! Ink! And Nostalgia! 11/23, 24, 25/2015

For the last 3 days I've been Thankful!

For:

1. Novelty!

Novelty items and the sense of newness that makes things oh-so-much-better than they'll ever be again.


2. INK!

Ink is the reason so many things I love exist: books, comics, tattoos, etc.



3. Nostalgia!

Without this Ponder Couch, Dinosaur Dracula, and most of the other sites I check daily would not be.

Tomorrow is the big Thankful Day!

Thankful! For Books! Saturdays! and Couches! 11/20,21,22/2015

I missed a few days of being Thankful.


Here are the things I am Thankful for for those days:

1. Books!

Without books there would be no tv, movies, video games, or much of any entertainment.

Books are one of my favorite ways to spend time.


2. Saturdays!

Saturday is the best day of the week. It's not a workweek day so you probably don't work and it's not the day before a workweek day either!

I get to spend most Saturdays doing something I like.

3. Couches!

I like couches more than any other kind of furniture.

I've written plays about couches, a song, and many of my comics take place on couches.

There is a reason this is the Ponder Couch.

A good day is when I sit on the Couch all day reading Books on a Saturday!

Thankful! For Warmth! 11/19/2015

Today I am Thankful for Warmth!

Blankets...

Fire....

Soup...


All of these warm things and many, many more.

I am Thankful.

Cold is dumb.

Thankful! For Health! 11/18/2015

Today I am (was) Thankful for my Health!

Health keeps me going.

Without it, I'd be a sad pile.

I'm Thankful for your health too!

Thankful! For Beer! 11/17/2015d

Today I am Thankful for Beer!

Coffee wakes me up! Beer helps me settle back down.

I love it a lot!

Buy me a beer/2 bucks a glass...

Thankful! For Coffee! 11/16/2015

Today I am Thankful for Coffee!

It helps me wake up in the morning!

It's nice and hot!

I used to hate it until fairly recently in my life!

But now I love it a lot!

Thank your local Barista! Even if it's you!

Thankful! For Rest/Sleep! 11/15/2015

Today I am Thankful for Rest and Sleep!

Seriously, sleeping's the best!

Without sleep, I'd be so tired all the time.

Even more than usual.

And I get to sleep again tonight!

Thankful! For Pajamas! 11/14/2015

Today I am Thankful for Pajamas!

Whether they are hoodies, footies, or just sweat pants and a t-shirt, pajamas are the best thing to wear!

They are the most comfortable, look the best on people (in my opinion) and they are the MOST COMFORTABLE.

I put them on whenever I don't have to be anywhere. Often right after work.

Just listen to what I say in this song:

Caught up! Other than today's Thing and Thankful!

Thankful! For Work! 11/13/2015

Today I am Thankful for Work!

I may not always enjoy it, but I am thankful for work.

It gives me something to do other than waste away on the couch watching commercials from the 80s and 90s.

It gives me some money for bills and holiday novelty treats.

With 2 more Things and 2 more Thankful!s, I'll be caught back up!

Thankful! For Comics! 11/12/2015

Today I am Thankful for Comics!

I love comics so much.

I love reading and making comics.

I have comic characters tattooed on me.

I connect many happy memories to comics.

Go read some comics!

Thankful! For the Ponder Haus! - 11/11/2015

Today I am Thankful for my House!

I love my house! It's where I keep all of my stuff and write all of the Ponder Couch things!


It's also where I sleep and where I spend most of my time with Princess Melawesome!

Come by some time!

Just make sure that you let me know you're coming over... so I can put on pants.

Thankful! For Popcorn/Salt! - 11/10/2015

Today I am Thankful for Popcorn and Salt!

Popcorn is my favorite thing to eat and salt is what gives popcorn it's flavor!

I love them both a lot!

Caramel corn is just wrong.
