I get tired, tired of their questions

Thanksgiving dinner today! Not so good for the diet I imagine.
What are you guys thankful for?
9 Days until I move. Scary stuff. At the moment, Im thankful for Lizz Wright, Frank Warren, asofterworld.com ,vichy normaderm moisturizer, and black nailpolish. And of course, my Aunt's broccoli casserole. I gave thanks yesterday for my family, so I feel like today I am allowed to be 95% materialistic. (Frank Warren counts as the other 5%)
We've reached record cold temperatures, I had to wear socks yesterday. I want to get this perfectly clear right now, I am not morally opposed to socks or something. The reason I only wear socks about 2o days of the year is this, I have very few sock-suitable pairs of footwear. Rainboots, stilletto boots, & Uggs. Though I have multiple pairs of all three of these boot genres, I have few articles of clothing that look good with them. It is not I that is sock unfriendly, it is my wardrobe, the poor socks never stood a chance really.
Here is one blessing I was neglecting to give thanks for my very talked about, emotional mess of a breakup, which means this annual conversation won't be taking place;
"So Rachel, Where is your boyfriend?"
"Uh.. I wish I knew, if you come across him, let me know."
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"No"
"Well why not? A pretty girl like you should have no trouble getting a boyfriend"
"Uhh.. I don't know.. I just don't."
"Well, I wouldn't worry too much just yet, but maybe you should consider changing your hair. [depending upon the year, it's glasses, dress, hair, braces, etc]
"Yeah, okay, I'll try that, and report back this time next year"

Now, it's not that I haven't ever had boyfriends, I have had lots, most weren't serious, and the ones that were, always seemed to shy away from my famjam, we may or may not be an intimidating bunch. In anycase, this year, I will not have the interrogation, they already know whats up. I imagine they'll move onto my mother, and why she hasn't gotten herself married yet. Ahh, we must remember that they mean well.
I am thankful for their love, and for having an excuse to duck out early. Win.
