The Sunday Night Blues

Ah, another weekend has come and gone. And not just any weekend: Thanksgiving weekend. Most of us (sorry if you didn't) had Thursday and Friday off, and these past four days of gluttony and sloth have given us not just a hangover from the Natie Lights (thank you, friends from high school), but also a mental hangover.

And now, here we are, getting ready to go into another week, with only our fun memories of this past weekend and future promises of dancing sugarplums, peppermint schnapps, and Santy Claus to get us through the week.

But on this lonely, chubby (too much pumpkin pie and punkin ale) Sunday night, you might be asking yourself, "How do I get through this Sunday night without falling into a deep, deep depression as Monday looms forebodingly over my head?" Here is ANOTHER listicle (sorry) of some ideas of helping you get over your Sunday Night Blues.

1. America's Funniest Home Videos. BOB SAGET, the original and undisputed best host (suck it, Daisy Fuentes), of AFV returns this Sunday to lay on the cheesy, tinged with innuendo, jokes. Although the game "Head, Gut, or Groin" (where you guess where the person in the video is going to get whacked) might remind you of how you felt during/after your family feast, but the giggles induced by fat people falling over and little ballerinas farting (even though they aren't the most sophisticated brands of humor), proves the point that laughter is the best medicine.

2. Snuggies. Okay, at first we got a Snuggie as a gag gift. We would put it on and laugh and laugh. Then one day, as naturally as the rising sun, we began to put on the Snuggie and not laugh. It was something we would fight over. Now, I recommend wrapping up in your Snuggie (mine is leopard print) and envelope yourself in it's fuzzy laziness. I just reached my arm to grab some of Tara's "Jewish Cookies" (apparently not just named as such because her mom is Jewish) and I didn't even have to emerge from my blanket.

3. Delivery. The less movement you have to do on Sunday Blues, the better. I recommend surfing seamlessweb and picking out whatever cuisine your heart desires.

4. Laundry. Okay, this kinda goes against number 3. But I believe that if you accomplish something, however so small, then you won't think you wasted your entire Sunday. This minor accomplishment puts you into your week thinking you've got you life in order. For extra perks, wash your sheets. Also: Shower, tidy up, take out the trash (see Youtube vid (srlsy hilarious) for more inspiration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gx3nn6LS6g).

With that, I'm going to continue to lounge, order a big ole Cobb Salad from Souths, and Extreme Makeover Home Edition is going to help ease me into the harsh reality of Monday.
