Brace yourself -- here's my Thanksgiving centerpiece.
Yeah, it's a little... busy. But hey, can you ever have too many gourds? I think not! We're not actually having Thanksgiving dinner at our house, but I like to set the table according to the season, regardless. I change it every month -- tablecloth, placemats, candles, bric-a-brack. I should do a montage for you guys sometime, in case you still have a shred of respect for me.
This is my dollie, Marie. She used to live at my Gramma's house, but when Gramma died, I got to keep her.
My friend Joe (of Barbie fame) sews doll clothes and made me a whole slew of clothes for her, including a little 7-piece Witch/Pilgrim/Nun ensemble. Just change a couple accessories and voila! A whole new costume! Yes, I change her clothes every month, too. What? My shrink said it's good to have hobbies!
These are a couple of things I'm thankful for this year, but I can't say them at dinner this evening because you're supposed to say stuff like "continued good health" and "all the loved ones gathered around this table" blah blah blah.
From left to right: From Philosophy, Ultra Rich Shampoo, Conditioner and Body Wash, Cinnamon Buns scent; Frango Candy Cane Chocolates; Beanpod Soy Candle, Sugar Cookie scent. (Beanpod Candles give off no soot when they burn!) My life is richer because they're in it.
My contribution to the Thanksgiving feast.
In less than an hour, these docile-looking ingredients will become that treasured culinary favorite -- Green Bean Casserole!
Now who could resist this face?
I could, especially when there's stuffing involved.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, people. And remember, today is the day the police get the highest number of domestic disturbance calls. Guns don't kill people -- holidays do. God bless.

Is that a vibrator on the centerpiece?

My God. You cooked. You centerpieced! I'm sorry, dumplin. Really.
Fresh - I think you're right. One of those "gourds" in the center looks supiciously like a....penis.
Wenchie?

It's not a vibrator!
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be in my bedroom.

all you had to cook was a green bean dish and put out the vibrator? Wow, you really do come away satisified at your house don't you.
