Phone Call Two Days Before Thanksgiving

Chef: Hello, Erica! What are you doing? Want to do a little Thanksgiving cooking and prep?

Me: Er, I'd love to. But I just got to the gym.

Chef: I see how it is. You're choosing the gym over Thanksgiving. Where are your priorities?

Me: Um, well, not really. I love Thanksgiving. I plan to have five slices of pie on Thursday. So I'm at the gym now.

And that is how I committed myself to five slices of pie.
