So on Thanksgiving Day I will be watching movies, I really need to catch up on my film watching. I'll be listening to Alicia Keys' new Cd. I may read a chapter or two in a book I need to finish. I will be going to a local deli today to buy some sort of already cooked food to eat, there is no way I'm cooking.
I plan on having a nice relaxed day. I may go out for a walk with my ipod, I really like walking on holidays. The streets are so deserted, few cars or people walking, it's really nice.
When I lived on the east coast it was Thanksgiving with family every year. That was nice and I suppose I miss it but I've become accustomed to the holiday being a time for "me". On tomorrow evening a friend will come over, we'll talk. She will tell me all about her day with family and I will live the 'family thing' vicariously through her. That will be enough.
I will definitely not being waking up Friday to shop. Shopping on the day after Thanksgiving is nuts. I have been thinking about going with a friend for a nice walk on the beach. The weather is supposed to be nice, so I think that will be fun. Then maybe lunch there on the beach.
What's your day going to be like tomorrow? Big plans or small plans like me? What ever you're doing I hope that you will be content and at peace and with people who love you.
Happy Thanksgiving!

well, you just have yourself a wonderful "me" day...
Hi Browngirl,
Thanks and I hope you enjoy your holiday too!
My Thanksgiving celebration will be much like yours. Most of my folks are on the west coast and my children are down in Alabama with my former wife. So, I'll spend a quiet Thanksgiving at home. Mostly watching football and finishing a novel. I probably should take that walk that you suggest as I am committed to losing about 60 pounds and getting to my ideal weight.
Anyhow, this is my first time visiting your blog. I like the vibe and I'll come back more often.
peace, Villager
Hi Villager,
Walking is great. Do you have an ipod? I'm not one to jump on bandwagons (since ipods are so popular) but I have to say I love my ipod. It's a great companion on walks. The thing I love about it is that you can create play lists according to your mood on any given day.
Good luck on your weight loss. I'm sure you will reach your goal. Walking will be a great aid to that. Also walking saves money compared to outrageous health club prices!
Thanks for stopping by.
Hi MDC,
I also don't celeb TG. But for what I do celebrate, I also enjoy walking! the air is different on holidays.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Hi MDC,
Hope you have a lovely day full of peace and blessings!
Enjoy :-))
Hi Miriam,
The air is totally different. All the hustle and bustle stops, it's so quiet on holidays.

Hi Shelly,
Thanks!!
MDC: Well, my holiday will be spent with the fam - I'm not feeling very well today and wish I could spend the day just in the bed - drinking Kool-aid :). Anyway, the fam has a dilema this year (1st time) where will we be?? Either Moma Dear's house (smaller, no yard, no cable, no internet access, no room for the dogs, lots of love and traditionally where it is spent) OR my Aunt's house (cable, lots of room for the dogs, internet access - never here before and will prob hurt Moma Dear's feelings). . . dilema solved, huh? Moma Dear's house it is!!! Have a great "you" day!
Hi Lisa,
I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. Please take care of yourself, try to get a little rest. I know that will be hard but maybe you can catch a nap during the day.
I'm sure 'Moma dear' will be happy. There is nothing like tradition!
Have a great day!
