oh yes, i am a parade gal. marching bands, showtunes, giant balloons being wrangled in the wind by frightened retail employees....i am in heaven.

i have fond memories of watching the parade every year while my mom was cooking for the holiday. oh, and there is only one parade the macy's thanksgiving day parade

accept no substitutes. bad enough the mummer's will be slithering into town in the near future. mummers. *shudders*

so i am enjoying the pre-parade broadway performances. brooke shields? was anyone else stunned that she actually looked great? great voice, nice job, i was impressed.

back to the kitchen. appears one of the hazards of this growing up thing is that now i am the mom. don't worry, i am tivo-ing the parade so i can pause it and zip through the commercials.

Happy Thanksgiving!! Here's to eating til you pass out from the turkey drug and a weekend full of leftovers!
