The Part-Time Housewife

Okay, we get it. We're eating turkey for the next three days.  So there's turkey sandwiches, and turkey soup, and....how else can we use all this up? Target has a short and sweet video with a couple good ideas. I'm totally craving turkey tacos and turkey pizza now. mmmmmmmmm Enjoy your black Friday everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving! Hopefully everyone has enjoyed their turkey and football as much as me. To celebrate this day of giving and appreciation, I have compiled a list of five guys that constantly feed the eyes. I know I am very appreciative that they are around. Chris Paul With heart-stopping eyes, and a killer watt smile, this man is beautiful. Oh yeah, and he's talented, too. Ryan Gosling Yep. It is like is he is photo shopped. And every single "hey girl" is still hilarious to me. Justin Timberlake Everybody loves a guy that can make you laugh. I'm willing to overlook those awkward NSync days (even if I still liked him then) with the bleached brillo pad hair now that Justin knows all you need is a suit and tie. Oh, and a great voice, killer dance moves, beautiful eyes....................... Josh Hutcherson New-ist to the list is Josh. Who really lucked out with the role of Peeta. Oh my god. PE

Thanksgiving is just ONE more day away. In honor of all things gobble gobble, here are a few of my favorite foods that my family and myself overindulge on.  Garlic Mashed Potatoes Here is the  recipe. I also add a pinch of rosemary and top it with shredded cheese for extra cholesterol. Sweet Potato Casserole This is a delicious and healthy recipe you can find  here . The fruity, colorful marshmallows are actually a delicious substitute for regular. Cranberry Sauce It's best to keep it classic and simple with the sauce. So much better than the weird, jellied can stuff. I add cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. Here's a good go-to  recipe . Asparagus with Almonds Maybe not as traditional, but so easy to make and it immediately makes you feel fancy pants. This  recipe  is so short and simple, it'll make you feel like a master chef. Chocolate Pie Mouth-watering, scrumptious, I'm dying. Screw the pumpkin pie. I want this

Lately, I have been obsessed with North Woods Law. For those that don't know, it is a show on Animal Planet about the game wardens in Maine. Now, I don't admit this to a lot of people, but I am from a northern Maine milltown,which really should be a whole other country on it's own. Here's me and my cousin back home: While watching the show, I've noticed no matter what area of the state, they all have a distinct accent. I've worked hard to get rid of it, but I'm plagued by it. I came across a really cool video on philebrity.com about a study of how people in different areas of the U.S. pronounce the same word. It shows a map on the left side and a picture of the object on the right side. Whenever, someone is talking, the map is lit up in the region that it is most spoken. It also gives you enough time to say it to yourself and see if it stands true. You can watch the  VIDEO  here.

Because it's Monday.  Because I can.

Ah yes. The joys of being an adult. You know there are days when you just want to break down and have a full blown tantrum over the things in life that frustrate you. Thanks to this Buzzfeed video, we can all see how hilarious ridiculous we would look. Yep. I admit I occasionally have a fit when I'm in the car and am stuck behind someone going ten miles under the speed limit, again . " I just want to be there! " Maybe the next time you are in the supermarket and you see a child screaming at the checkout line because he can't have a pack of gum, you will realize it's jealousy and move on. Enjoy it while you can, little buddy. No judgement here!

1. They only let you pet them on their terms. 2. They only want to play when you are asleep. 3. They always  steal the attention. 4.  THEY are the reason why you can't have nice things. 5. They can get into places you can't . 6. They are plotting to take over someday. Starting with you.

Adam Sandler sang about it during the Hannukah song. Jewish kids just get the shaft when it comes to the holidays. But have no fear Jewish children everywhere. A relatively new tradition has met it's match. Moshe stayed up all night watching to make sure the oil didn't run out, like the true mensch that he was. The  Elf  on the  Shelf  is a special scout  elf  sent from the North Pole to steal your soul   help Santa Claus manage his naughty and nice lists. He creates mischief throughout your house for 25 days, yet totally narcs you out when Santa asks.  Now Hanukkah Harry has hired Moshe the Mensch to help out as a Mensch on a Bench. You can find  Mensch on a Bench   here   but he is so popular, he is sold out for the 2013 year. You can add more funnakah to your Hannukah and pre-order Moshe for next year though! Happy Thanksgivakkuh!

1.  Dobby is a free elf! 2. This chicken is sexy and he gnomes it. 3.  This window creeping dog. 4. This orangutan. 5. May your day be as good as waking up to a cheez-it.

Maybe it's because I'm currently in a dayquil-induced state, but I couldn't stop watching these domino's fall. It totally beats that PVC tube roller coaster project you had in high school physics class. At least that's what I'm hoping this was for. The image of two 40 year old nerds playing with dominos set to lame techno music is not something I want to remember. Besides, it wouldn't be very nice to make your 70 year mother clean all this up after you.

Kmart has really hit it out of the park this year with their "Show Your Joe" Christmas Holiday commercial. The ad features six hunky dudes in boxer's creating music to the tune of Jingle Bells. While I normally am not a fan of celebrating holidays before their time has come, this had me lol'ing.  The first time I saw this, my jaw dropped. The second time I saw it (let's be honest, I youtubed it the second I went to lunch), it posed the question, what goes on in these marketing meetings? Did someone really pitch this? How? Is there going to be a second version featuring the Nutcracker? Whatever way they did, I am glad that they did, so the world now has this gem. Pun intended.
