I
just want to lie on the couch. Really, I do. But I won’t let this day get
completely away without writing something even though I blew NaBloPoMo two
weeks ago. This will be my third week out of four getting it “right” and being
consistent. I’d like to win a (random) prize this week over at Yeah Write. We
are down to mere days now.
About
lying on the couch, we (kids and me) were alternating between a battle of
crepes on “Throw Down With Bobby Flay” and polar bears, walruses and seals on
“Animal Planet”. I’m not one to nap but my eyelids were fluttering, for sure, when I remembered.
So
no one thinks I’m shirking my Thanksgiving Day responsibilities (This is my 25th
year hosting it and I have it down!), I’ve been to the market, picked up Tom, and popped my head
into the florist to grab flowers. Cleaned a little. That’s pretty much it because I had kids so they could help me with such things (kidding!).
Tomorrow
is the first “day before” Thanksgiving that my husband has taken off of work. Ever.
Doesn’t he realize he’ll be put to work here too? I’m banking on many hands
making light work tomorrow. He's taking off Friday, too. As a matter of fact, he's never taken the day after Thanksgiving off either. Ever. Should be an interesting five days!
So my feet are going to prop back up and I’ll grab a
blankie. I’m currently halfway through a fabulous book of short stories by
Alice Munro (my second in two weeks).

Wouldn't this be a HOT room to have in a house? It's like a dream to me.

In reality, I probably look more like Peggy Bundy... And I don't expect this to change much for the next few hours.
Tomorrow, I hope to write about books but if I run out of time I'll re-post a Trifecta piece I wrote last year on tomorrow's exact day. It was a cathartic release for me. Now that I think about it, I'm going to re-post it for sure and my goal is to write about the books I've been reading.
Oh,
and I hate the pitch blackness of 4:45pm!!!!!
