Happy Thanksgiving Ya’ll

I don’t know about ya’ll but I need a break from the celebrity break-ups and Lindsay Lohan drama.
I’m over how many times Tony Parker cheated, how the voting at Dancing with the Stars was unfair and Kelly Preston’s silent alien birth.
So I’m off for a few days of family drama and too much food. I encourage you all to go eat, drink and be merry for the next few days and be thankful that you are not one of the silly celebrities we talk about every day. There is much to be said for a normal/drama free life my friends.
I’ll meet you back here Monday with major carb bloat and possibly hungover. Thanksgiving as it should be.

 

Here’s a few of my favorite Thanksgiving quotes just in case you are still stuck in the office and need some more time wasters:
What we’re really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets.  I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving?  ~Erma Bombeck, “No One Diets on Thanksgiving,” 26 November 1981
An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day.  ~Irv Kupcinet
It has been an unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes, is a delectable necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is uneatable without it.  ~Alistair Cooke
Coexistence:  what the farmer does with the turkey – until Thanksgiving.  ~Mike Connolly
I have strong doubts that the first Thanksgiving even remotely resembled the “history” I was told in second grade.  But considering that (when it comes to holidays) mainstream America’s traditions tend to be over-eating, shopping, or getting drunk, I suppose it’s a miracle that the concept of giving thanks even surfaces at all.  ~Ellen Orleans
