if you weren't alone, you'd have a pile of dishes to do right now, wouldn't you?

This was the very first Thanksgiving that I can remember being alone without all my children around me, they are all grown up now and have their own familys, I have alway in the past had them home for the "big meal" with the new husband, or new baby, or special G/F that they may have at the time, well this year, no one came over, partly because they wanted me to have a break of all the prep of foods and partly because I wanted to not have to cook up all that food this yr. too, but when this day finally arrived, it was sad, and I sat down and had a good cry, it was just not the same, I was invited to their home for the day, but just didnt want to go, my hubby and I had a quiet meal here alone.

I'm alone this Thanksgiving but I quite enjoyed myself. Don't wallow in self pity. I like to relax and reflect on the year and the things I've accomplished. And the things I wish to accomplish in the next.
Don't feel lonely - feel independent. Cook a several course turkey dinner for yourself. Or be a total rebel and instead prepare something special that you really like. Watch the parade and the holiday movies. Drag out your decorations and start decking out your pad.
When I lived back in Florida Thanksgiving was actually pretty stressful. My mom and dad would be belittling me. My brother's kids would be total brats. I really don't miss that at all! I do have a friend coming into town tomorrow and we'll eat leftovers together Saturday but I really did like this day to be thankful for what I have and what's to come and to spend exactly how I wanted to spend it!

I prepared a turkey casserole. It is always fun working with food. I entered more stuff on eBay. I am hoping to take advantage of Black Friday. We'll see if it applies to the Internet. I checked my Yahoo fantasy football team to make sure I am starting the best players I can this week. I cleaned the living room. I wrote a children's' story based on an experience driving a school bus.
I am glad I don't have to play the games such as: Look how special it all is. I am quite content alone. My family gives me enormous insecurities so I stay away from it.

I'm out here...oh, you were looking for "out there." I'm that, too, I guess.
I ate with friends instead of family. Thanksgiving takes too long. Too much work to keep a conversation going that long. I noticed that I felt more required to carry on conversation. Family you can just ignore after about 2 hours. Felt like pressure.
You're never alone. You're not now.
Plan tomorrow's shopping. I want a Wii. :-)

My dogs and I watched the dog show. It was great. An Australian Shepherd won best in show for the first time.
