What are you doing for Thanksgiving this year? Aww, that’s nice. Now ask me what I’m doing! Go ahead! Ask!

I’m answering questions for the Butterball Turkey Talk Line. SERIOUSLY. I’m a Turkey Talk Blogger!

The world is a funny place, you all.

Here’s the dish (ha ha, get it? DISH? yeah, okay that was lame): starting November 3, you can call the Butterball Talk Line with all your turkey-related questions, you know, like How do I thaw the turkey? or Where to I stick the meat thermometer? or What’s the best way to get myself invited to my in-laws for Thanksgiving? Important stuff, people. OR! If you’re juggling work and kids and holiday shopping and don’t have time to wait on the phone, you can email Butterball, and either Chris or Roxanna or I will tell you what to do.

Or we’ll just tell you what we’re wearing. Either way, fun for all!

(Also, getting invited to the in-laws is easy: have a baby! or two! They can’t resist!)*

*Baby having is NOT officially recommended by Butterball, just so we’re all clear. They like the babies and all, but really they’re just here to offer turkey advice.

I’m so excited about this I can hardly stand myself. Thanksgiving is easily my favorite part of the winter holiday season. Since we moved to Oklahoma, we have spent every Thanksgiving with family, either mine or Wade’s; we have played with babies and visited with grandparents and of course eaten until we couldn’t move. I love Thanksgiving because I love the idea of stopping to be thankful, of just taking the time to enjoy my family, without having to shop or wrap or argue with my kids.

And I love turkey — dark meat, please, with a heaping helping of stuffing. Delish.
