Whizzing In My Brain

in Odds and Ends

1. Ingesting any caffeinated product after 2 pm is dangerous.

2. I always feel the urge to eat cheese and crackers while watching The Biggest Loser.

3. According to my lipstick shape, I fall in love easily.

4. The mothers only know the names of the children in Wito’s music class, so we refer to one another as [so and so]’s mom. This has to stop.

5. Will Wito the Seasoned Traveler become Wito the Teething Tantrum Traveler on our flight to Oklahoma over the holidays? He’s 22 for 22 on plane flights, people. The bad behavior has got to be lurking around the corner.

6. I have to fire the housekeeper today. I was hoping to pansy out on her voicemail, but she doesn’t have voicemail on her cell phone. Damnit.

7. I don’t think D will ever break free of the Norah Jones, Amos Lee, John Legend and Jamie Cullum heavy morning rotation.

8. Can I really make it to December 1st for a trim? My bangs are brushing the tip of my nose.

9. Please let today be a better day for Wito. Damn you, molars.

10. I couldn’t be more thrilled that today is a not of the running variety.

11. How do you cook a turkey?

That concludes today’s peek into Whoorl’s brain. Hasta mañana, iguana.

    Housekeeper – ugh.

    Jamie Cullum – If you have not seen him live, I highly recommend it.

    Cooking a Turkey – You can find the temp and time anywhere but all I can say is…make a homemade garlic herb butter (I can send you a recipe if you’d like), let it set up in the fridge for a bit – not completely hard again but not soft and squishy and for the love of God use UNSALTED sticks of butter – put it in between the skin and the meat….anywhere you can put it. Cook it breast side down. For the last 30 minutes, cook it breast side UP. Make sure to baste it A LOT. Best turkey EVER.

    I thought I was the only one eating and watching the biggest loser. Usually I drink too and watch it. Last night, though was pudding and the biggest loser, which is sponsored by Jello – hmmmm.

    You and I could be friends. My hair’s waaaay past due, I can’t even touch a raw chicken or turkey because they remind me of babies too much and I, too, am suffering from a loss of identity – having become “E’s mom,” “LW’s mom,” and “Big T’s mom. I’ve got a name damnit.

    I feel the need to walk in place while watching the Biggest Loser. And man, I’m glad that girl Amy is gone, she was annoying the shit outta me.

    Hey, I’ll be in Oklahoma for Thanksgiving…it’s my very first trip to Sooner country, and I’m starting to get nervous. But I have travel sizes bottles of my hair products, so, at least my hair will look good while I’m nervously chatting up my boyfriend’s family and friends (including ex-girlfriends — yikes!).

    Turkeys aren’t difficult. first: I hope you’re already thawing it in the fridge. Second: Go to butterball.com for advice. Basically, put it in the oven and cook for as many hours as it needs, based on the size. You can do it.
