Happy Thanksgiving! (+ a Geeky Holiday List)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is a day of giving thanks and reflecting on our lives. It's a day to look at the world and see how you can help make it a better place. It's also a day of family, food and relaxation. However you plan to celebrate the day, I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving! And for anyone who doesn't celebrate the holiday, I also wish you a very Happy Thursday!

If you're looking for something holiday inspired to watch, I included a fun Geeky Thanksgiving List below. For more Geeky Lists, here are my previous three Thanksgiving lists: (1, 2 and 3).

Why Does Garfield Hate Mondays?

I always wondered why Garfield hated Mondays? As a cat, what could he possibly hate about a certain day of the week when it's not like he had to go to work, school or do anything besides sleep, eat and lounge all day. Cats generally have a pretty good thing going for them.

In some Garfield comics, Mondays bring a little bit of bad luck to the orange fat cat but it's usually shown as him tripping or getting a pie thrown in his face. Yes, that's bad but nothing that's so bad that would have him hating Mondays. But I guess that's why fans find him so relatable because so many people hate Mondays. As an optimist, my approach to Mondays is probably a bit like Jon's, I'm happy about it. I know it can be annoying to everyone else which is the same as being a morning person. No one seems to like a happy cheerful person in the morning and especially on a Monday.

Well, Happy Monday everyone!

30 Day Geek Chic Challenge, Day #2: Garfield's Art of Relaxation

Day #2: Garfield's Art of Relaxation

What can we learn from the world's laziest cat? Well, for one thing Garfield has the art of relaxing down to an art form. And in this day and age where everyone is running around rushing from one place to another doing so many different things at one time that we could take a page from his book.

Have you noticed that no one really seems to be taking time to unwind and when they do they never really appear to be enjoying themselves. Lives are so hectic and stressful now that relaxing has almost become a thing of the past.

Why not let Garfield inspire us, the goal for today is to make sure to carve out some free time to relax and to really enjoy it with absolutely no guilt.

Poor Hermione, she'll be the reason why Gryffindor lost points. And all due to Garfield's huge appetite. By the time the feast is over, her whole house will be mad at her.

Garfield is way too lazy to do anything let alone bother to chase Ron's rat. But Hermione just seems to love the big orange cat.
