Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

.

Today we are going to Darcy's parents house for the big meal. This is the first time in ages - I can't imagine how long - when I haven't hosted the meal myself. I thought I would miss all the preparation and cooking, but I don't. :) It's nice to not have to cook for days in preparation of a 30 minute meal.

.

That's not to say I won't be ready to host again next year, but this year is a nice break. I'm not sure what's on the menu, but I imagine it will be a fairly traditional meal, which is how I like it. I'm also glad that I won't have a house full of leftovers. I will go, have my meal, not overdo it, and that will be that. There is no reason to go overboard just because it's a holiday.

My sister is putting out quite the spread today: http://www.diningwell.blogspot.com/

She puts the rest of us to shame, and I'm sure it will be a fantastic meal. If I lived in Georgia (for some strange reason), I would be honored to get to eat with her today. :)

Holiday tip: Wear clothes that fit well (and not at all loose), so that you don't feel like you have room to spare when you're choosing your portion sizes. If you're really worried, wear pants that are on the snug side - it will be just the reminder you need when considering going for the second slice of pie!
