1. Buy a turkey from the store. Put it in the freezer.

3. Put the pan and turkey in the oven. Make sure the door is shut tight.
4. Cook turkey at 50 degrees for 11-15 minutes.
5. Put “cook mittens” on and take turkey out of oven.
6. Put salt and pepper on turkey.
7. Put fresh lemon on turkey.
8. Cut turkey. Eat turkey, but leave the lemon on the plate….it looks fancy.
Okay, I bought a blog book.
Fine, I’ll admit I’ve had my nose in it since I got it….just don’t ask me to put it down.
It is written by Courtney Kendrick and I bought the fancy book form. Yes, it was more spendy, but now I have a super fancy book to add to my collection. The primary focus of the book is not what is currently happening in her life (caring for her sister’s children), but more her struggle with infertility and funny anecdotes about her friends and family.
It all started this summer when I decided to become BRIDEZILLA for a few months. There is a long convoluted story behind what led me to this precious book….one that involves Mormons, blogs and weddings. I touched on it a bit here, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. I have been SO touched by this woman’s writing. I have been inspired by what she has faced as a sister, daughter, aunt, wife, mother, and blogger since August.
Enough blogging, I’ve got to get back to my blog book. Want to borrow it when I’m done?
On second thought, get your own, I’m not ready to share.
Typically, I’m the undisputed geek in this relationship. I tinker with the iPhone relentlessly, and excitedly talk about home automation techniques.
Hannah usually patiently listens, but I can tell it wouldn’t hurt her feelings if the subject changed to something more interesting. Like what the wind is doing. Alright maybe not the wind, but pretty much anything else. At least this is what I thought until I discovered that Hannah has purchased a “greatest hits” version of blog posts. Not a collection of posts from all over the web, but a collection of posts from one specific blog.
Now maybe this doesn’t exactly make her a super geek, but it definitely bumps up her geek factor a couple of notches.
When asked about about the purchase Hannah replied simply, “It’s my favorite blog”.
