#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!
