I already have my pants picked out for Thanksgiving. They are elastic waist, yet black to give the optical illusion that I am actually thin. (Hey, I can tell myself that if I want. If I choose to remain dillusional, leave me be!!)
How wonderful is it that we have a holiday dedicated solely to eating yourself silly? I have made a few observations about Thanksgivings past, however.
1) Men don't worry about what pants they wear. When their jeans become tight, they merely undo the button on their jeans and/or unzip them. I really can't think of any women who undo their pants. (That's why we plan to wear sweats or some other elastic waisted britches.)
2) No one asks me to host Thanksgiving dinner. Don't get me wrong. Even if they asked, I would come up with a plethora of excuses why no one can come. I am happy to NEVER host a Thanksgiving or Christmas meal. Not just happy, elated!! I will never move to a larger house specifically for this reason.
3) I never have to cook anything for holiday dinners. (Ok, so this is probably for the safety of everyone.) I always bring something, just nothing that requires any kind of culinary skill. (Green bean casserole? Hot rolls? I'm the one for the job. Turkey? Not unless you want to learn a whole new meaning to turkey trot.)
Anyway, I truly love Thanksgiving. It gives you a chance to reflect on your blessings, stuff your face and avoid the scales for several months.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

i find myself wishing that they would do away with the turkey, cranberries, green beans, and creamed coorn. i'll take the taters, rolls, sweet potatoes, and pie please. the more carbs the better!
and by coorn i mean corn. :)
you do not need a huge house to host Thanksgiving dinner. I did it in my home for many many years. MOm
Hot rolls??...wasn't there a roll fiasco a few posts back?!
Want to have lunch next week when we are both sick of Thanksgiving leftovers? Lucianos? Pick a day.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
There's a difference between BRINGING hot rolls and MAKING rolls.
Chris, Your green beans were to die for this Thanksgiving! Yummy. All that bacon in 'em made me have to get elastic waist jeans.
Hey Chris, Where's this weeks blog?
Yes where is it? I'm with anonymous. Where, oh where is a new blog?
