#nowplaying: Thanksgiving Day Parade on CBS

This is my first time not preparing a full Thanksgiving day spread in a long time, and let me tell you, it feels GREAT!  I'm totally relaxed.  No stress, no running around, no planning a menu, no planning the timetables to make sure that everything is ready right at 3....it's so liberating!  Seriously, it is wonderful.  Today I am going to bake some ziti (lots and lots of yumminess), mom is bringing some dessert, and that's about it!  Easy peezy!

We'll be playing some games, and I went ahead and stocked up on beers and wine.  Wii games have been rented.  And now....nothing!  Glorious, relaxing nothing!  We're all staying in our jammies!  So for Thanksgiving I actually get to focus on the things I should be focusing on - my amazing husband, the adorable midgets I call my children, the supportive family that always keeps me laughing, and, of course, pasta and booze. 

I recommend you all try it someday - let go, and start your own tradition - a tradition of doing whatever the fark makes you happy!  No more stressing for a week, no staying up all day and night nursing a turkey that will dry out and taste like the pink part of a cat's butt anyways!  Just loving on the family, having a good time, and eating what you like.  If anyone has a problem with your new tradition, send them my way!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and take it easy - no one is going to starve if there are only 5 sides instead of 6.  So chill. 

I'll be on Twitter and Facebook today - drop me a love note!
