First of all, I'm so thankful for the two great big PUPPIES that greet me on the way into work every morning. I'm sure their owners are wondering why this strange lady keeps coming up to their dogs every morning, telling them they're pretty, and give them a big kiss on the nose. The puppies appreciate it and that's all that counts!

Without making this sound like an oscar speech, "I'd like to thank..

~ My immediate family for BEING FABULOUS in trucking up here to let me host thanksgiving and witness my life as we know it as a New Yorker

~ My Girls...all the girls...Anna, Kate, Alliebug, Jen, Mandy, Mel, Katy, Missy and Rachel for the dancing, ice-cream, and drunk nights!

~ Everyone that's ever hired me as a Temp...you've kept food on my plate - that's especially you, Kristin!

~ My Manager, Willy, for making me a partner in his business and keeping my head above water and my feet grounded

~ My Agent, David, for sending me into a room with women prettier than me having the confidence that I'll book the job over them

~ Lysol for disinfecting the icky lady that keeps snarfing close to my cubicle

~ Terri, for being an amazing influence on my life

~ Salad for keeping me thin and keeping my bunny fat

~ My Rodeo Man Ryan in all that he is and whose strength in spirit makes me smile

~ My Swiss Family who finds we can wash away any bad day with a little chestnut icing!

~ Derek for 5 years as my soulmate and teaching me to let go
