The Day After Thanksgiving

So what do you do the day after Thanksgiving? Are you shopping till you drop? Are you sleeping off yesterday's feast? Did you spend the night at a mall parking lot somewhere waiting for the doors to open? Are you back to work as usual? Maybe you are a farmer and the same chores are waiting for you as always. Or are you writing your Christmas letter and getting the cards ready to mail? Well, at our house we are having our own Thanksgiving dinner. See, yesterday we went to relatives for Thanksgiving dinner. That was fine. The food was good and we ate too much and came home and skipped supper even. But now there is no leftover turkey for sandwiches and we didn't have any pumpkin pie at all. So today my daughter who is home from college and likes to cook, is making us our very own turkey (20 pounds of it) and all the trimmings and I made 3 pumpkin pies and now we can stuff ourselves into oblivion for a second day in a row. Just what I need to do. Oh yeah. But who can turn down good turkey? I can't. And I LOVE pumpkin pie with whipped cream. And guess what else? There is a Mork and Mindy marathon on TV all day too. So I introduced my daughter to Mork and Mindy and she loves it too. Okay, who wouldn't love Robin Williams? I have 5 days off work and something planned for every one of those days except today. Oh, I can think of a hundred things I should be doing, but can't decide where to start so I am just enjoying a day off. I was still up at 7:30, but I ran around in my nightgown for a while and then I played Family Feud on the internet. And yeah, I watched Mork and Mindy. I think I might run to town after dinner. Maybe rent some movies or something. It's so much fun to just have a day off to do whatever I want. Sometimes I actually wish I could break a leg so I could have time off to read a good book and catch up on all my little projects. But I suppose that wouldn't be so much fun either. Well, whatever you are doing, I hope you are enjoying your day as much as I am. The sun is shining and it's above freezing out. This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it.
