Okay, so I spent all day yesterday lazing around and now I'm feeling guilty.
Yes, the house is filled with unfinished projects and I napped all day.
Oh, the residual Catholic guilt...
I'm convinced if I wasn't so INCREDIBLY LAZY, I would so be President....

Day after Thanksgiving
Ah, the day after Thanksgiving...such a great day!
You get to lie around all day in your pajamas, napping, and eating leftovers!
That whole great meal, all over again, but this time....in your pajamas!
Does life get any better than this?
I don't think so!

Thanksgiving Part Deux
Okay, so it's Turkey Day and because I slept like 19 hours last night, I'm all "let's get something done!"
So I'm doing laundry and making, wait for it, real oatmeal.
Oh, no, not that packaged stuff for me.
Real stone-ground oatmeal.
Except normally I just boil it the night before and let it sit on the unlit stove all night. Yes, I really am that lazy. Except I think it's smart, not lazy, but we can argue about that later.
I even gave up my DD run, you know, the one I make EVERY MORNING OF MY LIFE. Really, DD should give me free tea or something.
I also waited until noon to call Antique Fossilized Uncle (so as not to wake him up too early) to remind him that dinner is at 5:00 and he's going with my cousin and not me. So I can totally blast Amy Winehouse and/or tango in the car on the way to Michele's.
I also decided to practice my ochos in the kitchen while the oatmeal simmers.
This was not my best idea.
Being post-menopausal (oh, dear God, did I just put that in writing, have I no sense of discretion? Well, no...) I get boiling hot in seconds. So add up the fact that I raised the temperature in the house because it was SO SNOWING when I got up, and I've got oatmeal boiling, and I'm twisting and turning around the kitchen trying to do several ochos in a row without falling down or hurting myself in a way that would make me miss Thanksgiving and I damn near stripped naked in the kitchen a minute ago.
Yes, this is my life.
(sigh)

Thanksgiving!
I totally love Thanksgiving!
Someone feeds me a huge meal (okay, it's usually one of my fabulous sisters, sisters who can cook, oh, I don't know...ANYTHING and make it taste FABULOUS!) and I don't have to buy anyone a present!
How great a holiday is that?
Oh, and I just want to bring up my favorite holiday topic. Just try and imagine a holiday, any holiday, without women. I DARE YOU!
Yes, it's women who cook, and decorate, and invite everyone, and clean the house until it's sparkling, and clean all the good china, and shop and cook for DAYS!
It's the women, people!
Well, not ME, but, you know, other women.
Let me be heard, loud and clear, by all those great women everywhere, WE APPRECIATE IT!
In fact, everyone woman creating a holiday, today or any other day, should be given a STANDING OVATION!
In fact, that's usually what my sisters and I do. Whoever cooks that day gets a standing ovation.
Why? BECAUSE THEY FREAKIN' DESERVE IT, THAT'S WHY!
Women, you are the BEST!
Men, kiss the feet of the goddess today who came down from heaven just to make your life possible! You damn well know she deserves it!
Happy Thanksgiving!
