Thank you for the one laugh I’ve had today. My towel is a black “bath sheet” (which, sadly, contains no antidepressentants nor vitamin B). But I really know where my towel is at all times. I think that makes me a Hoopy Frood.

I embody the Grinch, except for when he turns all squishy. I’ve hated that since I was a kid. He’s the effin’ Grinch for christsakes, he doesn’t get NICE. Even in “Halloween is Grinch Night” he turns all squishy. BAH.

And I hate x-mess music forced into my head by the grocery stores. I need food – but have to deal with that BS, too? Luckily the hippie husband 1) listened to my negative spiel about being all poopy because of the day-before-annual gluttony day and 2) returned with a cocktail. Ahhh, he knows me too well.

Happy upcoming Thursday everyone! May it be filled with whatever you want. And if it’s not? Poke it in the eye and run away to do what you want/need. We can’t get any more human than that.

So much silly excellence, like the Muppets doing Bohemian Rhapsody:

You’re also completely welcome to drop by my blog and contribute an entirely unrelated-to-Thanksgiving haiku if you’d like. No pressure though. Writing haikus has become a bit of a tradition for me this time of year and often they don’t have much to do with T-day although food is sometimes prominent. Looking at past years, I like seeing the sensations, moments, or atmospheric conditions of a particular day captured.

Also, white board paint? So many cool possibilities. I’d use it to sketch on my walls. :)

- Put the Muppet Show on DVD on the TV and clean house to the sounds of laughter and merriment. Feel guiltless when you pause to watch a skit or two.

- Doodle stick figure “portraits” of your friends and family.

- Sleep like a cat, in many naps and with much relish.

Between my hubby working a half-day tomorrow, and me being sick (still – sheesh!), there won’t be much of anything happening around here. Not even our usual un-tradition of Thai food take-out.

Although I suppose I could wake up feeling much better tomorrow than I do today. In which case I might venture to a friend-of-my-sister’s open house. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

@Emily I know the fear of opening up too much. I’ve decided that if I get rowdy, snappy or too spiritual, I’m just going to think about what Havi may be doing and roll off into la la land with a turkey thigh in my hand.

@Andi – thank you for the buffy quote. That is perfect. LOVE.

@Elizabeth – oh thank you! that is the best best best way to think about it. I like that. A day for me. Instead of “argh that day when everyone wants me to do stuff with them and I don’t want to”.

@Mahala – I want giant post-its! Send pictures!

@Jennifer – hi! Henceforth! Hi! *waves enthusiastically*

@Leocadia – good luck tomorrow, sweetie.

Collaging in a journal can be fun. I have been collecting various magazines from the free pile at the library.

Staying up late with a movie and letting everyone else stay up late too was fun last Christmas Eve (we don’t celebrate Christmas, so no pressure to wake up early for services or family gathering) could be fun tonight.

Tomorrow night, go out for a drive or walk and look at the holiday decorations. Tonight too.

An art picnic would be fun. When my oldest daughter was home, we would have journal-fests in the studio, painting, drawing, writing, collaging.

My favorite line from the tv show Buffy, comes from their Thanksgiving episode. “It’s a ritual sacrifice. With pie.”

@Sarah: I love that! I am going to remember your suggestion and try it sometime. So good.
