What's a nice turkey like you doing in a fridge like this?

21 pounds, 14 ounces. That is the size of the turkey I bought today. What on earth is a family of four going to do with 21 pounds and 14 ounces of turkey? Okay, stupid question - we're going to EAT it of course. Well, only three of us are going to eat it since one of us is a vegetarian. And really two of the other three only eat as much as one so there's only two. And that's only if one and/or two of the two decide to eat any at all. It could end up being only one or one and a half eating on this poor, young albeit heavy turkey. One things for sure though. If that bird requires a wake up time before 8 a.m. to get it in the oven so it's done in time, the vegetarian ain't cookin it! And you can bet the farm on that! Get it? Turkey farm? Gobble, gobble? Hey, is that a turkey in your fridge or are you just happy to see me? I've got a million of 'em! It's a shame those are the only two I can think of right now:) Moving on....

Today was a good day. I went down to get my food handlers card. Got a perfect score on the test so chances are good that I won't be spreading salmonella around to my family for Thanksgiving. Now there's something they can be thankful for! After that I did our hunting and gathering, or some "normal" people call it grocery shopping. It was so nice. K.C. took the week off so the girls were home with him and I got to shop in peace. In fact I had to keep telling myself to slow down - no one was going to have a melt down (at least not anyone that I was concerned with), no one was going to have to go potty (except me - my bladder sure isn't the same after two kids), I could fill the cart as full as I needed/wanted since I didn't have two little butts taking up precious space in it. I didn't have to stop at every single sample cart to keep the peace and harmony flowing around us. I indulged in a few unnecessary purchases (brie cheese and spinach/artichoke dip). I finished up my Christmas shopping! I remembered to buy wrapping paper. I hit another store and found every single thing that was on my list! Even the things I added to my list while I was in the store - that still counts as being on the list, right? Technically they were on the list. I'm sure there's some stupid rule about the list has to be completed before entering the store but, quite frankly, it's just not as easy to write it down when your driving:)

I had plans to go see Twilight tonight. I was going to go by myself while K.C. took Quinn to her class. But, one of my friends was going to meet some of her friends so invited me along. K.C. kept asking about it so I invited him along. Luckily Jen wasn't working tonight so she took the girls in and fed them dinner while K.C. and I went on a date. With three other women. One of them was pregnant. But not by K.C. How do I get to these places? Are you kind of seeing how my mind works and what I have to deal with every day? Geesh! The movie wasn't as good as the book but it was entertaining enough for me. K.C. hasn't read the book and thought the movie sucked. The girls had fun playing with Dylan and Braden so it wasn't all a waste.

Here are some new Quinnisms:

After eating half a bowl of some potato soup I made: "I don't like this. I just want to keep it out of my mouth until I like it."

This is one of those things she says her way that I love: "Mommy/Daddy, will you take me a bath?"

And, when her dad got up to use the rest room, she knocked on the door and said: "Daddy! Come out here so I can beat on you!"

Yep, today was a good day!
