The Parents are Coming! The Parents are Coming!
Okay, true TRUE confession time. When I was a teenager, I could not WAIT to get away from my parents. But now that I am an adult with a large dirty, broken house; and I seem to be hungry and cold all the time?
I WANT MY MOM! I WANT MY DAD!
Are they not hot? Yes. Yes, they are hot. They are SO MUCH MORE hot than the poor guy in the link.
There is an extra bonus photo below of my dad without the moustache.
The guy has ALWAYS been clean shaven except for that one insane moment where he wanted to be Don Juan or Tom Selleck or someone with a moustache. Please write and tell him that no moustache is better. And that he might never want to repeat the "short shorts" look in the photo below.
My parents are driving to Chicago from southern Virginia (like all good New Yorkers, they went south to retire. But they never made it to Florida).
My mom has promised to teach me HOW TO COOK A TURKEY in my mom-in-law's oven. My parents-in-law are also VERY HOT for lending us their clean and calm house across the alley in which to escape to for Thanksgiving.
Sigh. Bliss.
My dad knows how to use ALL POWER TOOLS! My mom has used STRAIGHT AMMONIA WITHOUT A MASK to get floors clean!
Together, they are the blitz crew. A human tornado of household fixit. The Wonder Twins of Cleanliness and Order.
Oh, man. I don't know who is happier...me? The husband who gets a decent meal? Or the dog that she gets to see her grandma who feeds her contraband?

Please give happy turkey day wishes to your parents from a long time Southern Virginia exile--I grew up in the Tidewater area. I don't miss Thanksgiving there, where the weather was usually a balmly 60 degrees, but I miss the state.

JM,
Thought of you yesterday while we were in Target. They had adult sized footies for $15. They were pretty thin, though - probaby not the best attire for standing up to the pirates in.

You must have nice in-laws. No fair.
My parents are coming to Casa de Disaster for Thanksgiving, and my mom is teaching me the ropes of cooking a T'giving dinner also. Woo-hoooooo ... my favorite is sweet potato casserole with pecans on top - not marshmallows.

Thanks to all who are looking for footie pj's. I think we should all get a pair and have a big sleepover at houseinprogress this winter. We are chaotic, but centrally located between E,W,South and Great White North!
And a happy thanksgiving to all who visit with us. We appreciate seeing your names in the comment section...we really do! Lifts our spirits.
Hope everyone's turkey and (insert favorite side dish here) is/was Super Fine.

Oh. And my dad wanted me to point out that:
a) Those are not short shorts, they are swim trunks. (Still really short dad!)
b) He is leaning up against his old Corvette convertible. And he really misses that car.
My mother would like me to point out that her hair is no longer that "bouffy".
Okay, my hands have been officially slapped as eldest child/editor.

Your parents ARE hot. Can I borrow them??
Seriously - you're really blessed to have an original set of matched parents. I'm in awe.
