not exactly something to show the kids when they get older...

Normally I wouldn't blog about something like this, but I do have a bit of a dark side. (Hi, my name is Kelly, and I like to crawl the celebrity gossip sites from time-to-time.) [hangs head in shame]

Anyway, I saw this yesterday, and it took me a few minutes to remember - hey! This person is somebody's Mommy. I don't want to see the va-jay-jay, and I doubt her kids are going to want to see it someday. I really, really doubt it.

Maybe I'm out of touch with the planet but what on Earth is the big deal with flashing body parts? I was once young and a bit more free-spirited than I am today. I went to a dance hall or two in my time, but I never forgot my panties. My big deal was wearing a mini-skirt, and heels. Legs, baby. Not va-jay-jay.

Here's something that won't make your eyes bleed, and is much more pleasant to listen to, and view. (How romantic is that song? It's off-the-charts...) [sigh]

p.s. A note my fellow Dallas-ites. Please don't lose your minds if it gets cold and we get a little ice and/or snow. It's been far too warm for any of it to stick long.

Whoa. Is everyone ready for Thanksgiving? If you haven't put your bird in the fridge to thaw yet, then you're up a creek. (Hehe. Just kidding.)

Here's a few quick "goodies" that you can (possibly) pick up today ~

1. A grown-up roasting pan. I picked this up at Crate & Barrel yesterday, and the good news it's on sale. No more foil pans for me.

2. A couple of bottles of good (yet inexpensive - less than $15) bottles of bubbly. Champagne goes with everything, people, and you can't go wrong when you go French. It's also nice to start your cooking day drinking Mimosas, especially if you've been recovering from the Mother of All Colds.

3. The ingredients to make some Cornbread Dressing. They call this "stuffing", but you don't put this in the bird. [rolls eyes] This will be the first Thanksgiving without my Dad, but we'll still be making the giblet gravy. If you have giblet gravy, then you need cornbread dressing. (For those of you from the North, you don't want to know what's in giblet gravy. You'll just have to trust me when I say it's good.)

4. Something casual, comfortable, and classy to wear around your guests. (Now's not the time to break out the tube-top, mini-skirt, and stripper shoes.) It's going to be sunny and 73 degrees here tomorrow, so there's no need for a sweater (which, honestly, I've always had to peel off before I get halfway through the morning due to a warm kitchen, and nerves.)

So, that's my quick holiday-type post.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful, safe, healthy Thanksgiving. We all have things to be thankful for. God Bless!
