So, if your Thanksgivin is shaping up to be a bad one...get in front of it. It's like a moving train...and the only way to save yourself is to GET OFF THE TRACKS. Make some plans. THINK ABOUT IT TODAY. What can you do to get through this ONE DAY???
There are lots of choices. Really -- read a book, walk on the treadmill -- SEW A T-SHIRT DRESS.
Or, the hell with it. Forget about doing anything worthwhile. IT'S JUST ONE DAY. You can go full-on pity party!!
Maybe, just for this one day -- you can eat whatever you want. Enjoy a whole pan of fudge. But plan ahead....buy that forbidden food TODAY...so you'll have it on hand Thursday when you really need it.
Here's a delicious meal: Giant bag of Doritos. Nuke these three things until hot and bubbly: half a brick of cream cheese, with equal parts salsa and shredded cheddar cheese.
YOU CAN THANK ME LATER...
Hey -- just fall into your television. IT'S JUST ONE DAY.
Check out your favorite guilty pleasure channels. HGTV has a marathon of Fixer Upper, and the SciFy channel is running Harry Potter movies all day.
If you have On Demand -- BINGE WATCH an entire series. I watched the first six seasons of Nurse Jackie in about a week, and I highly recommend Newsroom with Jeff Daniels and I can't remember when I ever enjoyed a television show more. There are only three seasons, so it's a good choice.
Catch up on "This is Us" on NBC. But you must watch it from the first episode...Great writing, complex characters...
Hey -- if you have Amazon Prime -- or Netflix -- the CHOICES ARE ENDLESS.
Thanks for reading my blog today. If you feel like you are about to be pecked to death by a turkey -- remember. IT'S JUST ONE DAY.
I LOVE Thanksgiving!!! It's only been just six of us for several years now, and that makes a perfectly fabulous day!!
