| Wild Turkeys strutting their stuff. |
1. Well I crossed the finish line on
NaNoWriMo. I think I'm at 53,000 words or so not counting today and tomorrow. It helps when your
characters have lengthy conversations about Battling Evil, and go off on wild dragon chases.
2. Did fine on Poem A Day also. There were some
prompts that left me uninspired, so I ignored the prompt and wrote
something else. The big thing was getting an idea down, then going back
later to shape it or fold it into a specific form. I even did one
Spenserian sonnet. That took some brain stretching.
3. We are not awash in leftover turkey. I made Poor
Starving College Student take a bunch home. He even got a whole pumpkin
pie. And yes, the Corgis got plenty of turkey too. They don't beg, they
just wait until I give in to those smiling faces and big eyes.
4. I studiously avoided Black Friday sales and am
doing all my shopping on line for Christmas. I can handle the crowds (I
think) but the cloying scent of overly cinnamon-y pine cones makes me
flee.
5. Max is getting a new honking hedgehog toy for
Christmas. Merlin's not much on toys, so he may get something peanut
butter flavored. They do stick their heads in all shopping bags that
come into the house. Just in case something's for them you see. ("Steak?
For us? Aw, you shouldn't have...")

Honking hedgehogs! That's the best dog toy I've heard of in a while. Congrats on NaNoWriMo and PAD challenge completion. To do both at once is both insane and inspiring. :-) We have leftovers. On purpose. I love turkey sandwiches.
How did you get Max and Merlin into those turkey costumes?
My only Black Friday stop was at a local "microdairy"
(as opposed to microbrewery) where I purchased delicious milk.

Ahh...that's better...I don't do this much!
Kathleen - My Nano book is a nice mess of chicken fried ideas right now... Poem A Day fared better. Got some good poems from it.
Gasp! You mean your dog doesn't know the joy of a honking hedgie? Then again, people think we're weird when we go up and down the dog toy aisle squeezing the toys for one that sounds just right...
Anon, followed the link. Not to far from NonnyMoose's house? I would kill for decent milk. Nothing here, alas.
You got it backwards. The turkey is IN Max and Merlin. They love their poultry...
That farm is only about a mile or less crow wise but about 3 miles by road.
They said yogurt will be made soon.
