Turkey week
Unbelievable. Is it really Thanksgiving week? Gah! What the heck?
I have been completely completely captivated by the Twilight series books for the last week and 1/2 and Bill had to drag me out of the house to go surfing yesterday. I am on the last 100 pages of the 4th book and I forced myself to put it down and go. What can I say. They are really intriguing. The whole crush, tingling when he touches me, infatuation part I can totally relate to. I still feel that way after over 20 years with my guy. Bill is my Edward, minus the vampire part. Mmmmm.
So, be sure and read them. They were very fun to dive into, but now I am looking up from my Edward/Bella induced coma and see all sorts of craziness that has been neglected..
I have 3 days to shop, plan my meals, and figure out how to cook a Turkey in a space reserved for a chicken….or a hen.
This week will be a blur for me, but I hope to post some fun stuff later in the week.
Until then I thought I would give an update on the most spoiled turtles in America. Mertle and Nertle, or whatever their names are this week.
They live on the breakfast bar above my sink, in a enormous container that has an island where they can bask and kick back. They have decided that nothing but whole, freeze dried, ocean krill will do for every meal (which stinks to high heaven), and they prefer not to be woken until after 7a.m. NOT KIDDING.
When they do venture out to the little pond outside, they have an umbrella to shield them from the eyes of flying predators, and they come in every night to the safety of their indoor condo.
The words “spoiled” and “turtle” used together in a sentence have come out of my mouth. It is no secret that these animals, although enjoyed by my children more than words can say, seem to be mine and I am captivated by them as much as the kids. Maybe more so. Okay, forget the maybe. They are my turtles. The kids are just a front.
Just keeping things real here! Sigh.
ahhh yes Twilight, My daughter is enthrawled by this whole twilight craziness, and unbelievably so is my son?? What the heck???
My daughter gave me the book the other day and told me to read it, I am afraid since I am no longer married I dont really have a desire, but I know a ton of people who aren’t teeny boppers who are definately lovin it.
I hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving Jody, I am grateful for your blog where I can come and say hello!!
I must agree that the books totally sucked me in when I read them. I would read them each in one sitting practically, ignoring everything else around me. Gah!
The turtles are cute!
My 12 year old who hasn’t had any interest in the series at all and had never heard of it happened to be at the mall this weekend and happened to go to the movie with her friends because it was the ‘big thing’ at the moment. Funny that she had no idea what it was until she went. LOL.
I haven’t read the series. Saw lots of blogging Moms talk about it over the last month or so but never read it – mostly because ‘everybody’ was and I’ve never been one to follow the crowd. LOL.
Heard it’s good though.
I never though I’d say this, but those are some really cute turtles. I love the sweet pudgy hands holding them, too.
