I'll Never Learn.........

It happens every year on Thanksgiving..........

Dinner was a glass of wine, two HUGE plates of food with a total of about a pound each of turkey and stuffing (7 veggies, so it was healthy - sort of :innocent:). Two large wedges of Mom's pie (apple and squash this year!) And a couple of brownies and coffee.

Still, I was positive I would stay awake this time. No nap on the couch for me this year. I laid back on the recliner and then it hit me - Tryptophan - http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/question519.htm - like a boulder.

So, two hours later I woke up. One of my sons was asleep on another recliner. The younger one was passed out on the couch.

Well, that's enough reporting for now. I need to take a nap. :innocent:

We had a similar calamity. After eating, the guys moved to a secluded room to watch a movie. We awoke to the chattering and chastising of the women folk. Happens every years. Will we never learn? (nope :))

I went light on the turkey, (but heavy on the ham....and chicken and dumplings!) so my nap only lasted a little over an hour.

I think I'm ready for a turkey sammich!:innocent:

You know this phenomenon must be purely masciline. Either that or the adrenaline us ladies live on prior to the feast counteracts the effects......Just sayin'

We can't help it. When we really enjoy something, we tend to go to sleep, immediately after. :whistling:

Fortunately I slept through the (the hated) Cowboys game and should have slept throught the Giants game. I'ts hell being a Giant fan in Bronco country; well at least once a year. Almost as bad as growing up near Phila. as a Giants fan.

I think the "falling asleep" after the turkey dinner is just an excuse to avoid doing the dishes.

AHA!! an admission!

What a chauvinist comment. I'll have you know that I not only did the dishes but also cooked Old Tom's carcass and made 3 gallons of Turkey Soup. Chauvinist, chauvinist, chauvinist. Wait 'till we talk to your wife!
