RTT: Turkey, OMW and Doggie Doo

I may soon slip into a gravy coma. I have actually spent some time pondering this, and I believe that I have, in fact, eaten my weight in leftovers. It's true. Thank God they are almost all gone or stowed away in the freezer. I did make a big batch of turkey stock from the turkey carcass, and the leftover turkey is frozen for a future turkey pot pie, so I'm feeling nicely frugal. I may turn the last of the sweet potatoes into soup. Hmmm.

And speaking of turkey, will someone please remind me next year to buy a BIGGER BIRD. It's not that we didn't have enough turkey, we did, the problem is that all of the leftover meat is DARK meat. Which is a-okay with Jimmy, the dark meat eater, but I want my white meat, dang it! Everybody who came for Thanksgiving ate the white meat. Maybe I should buy a separate turkey breast to cook on the side? Please advise.

Final Thanksgiving thought...

I have a new favorite text abbreviation - OMW! As opposed to OMG, which I've always hated. My friend Ronda used it in an email the other day and I love it's old-school Texan quality. Can anybody guess what it stands for? No? Well I'll tell you - Oh My Word! Don't you love that? All the old women I grew up around used to say that-  "Oh my word! I've never heard such a thing!" or "Oh my word! That just breaks my heart!" I guess they were concerned about taking the Lord's name in vain, and so avoided the OMG thing. I love it. It's my new thing.

The other day, Jude and I got slightly hysterical when we saw this commercial...

 

It's REAL, y'all! I thought for sure it was a Saturday Night Live commercial parody, but it's not. Jude told me about this one too...

 

These Goliath people are out of their minds. OMW! (see, I told you it was my new thing).

My best friend Sharon's daughter, the beautiful Lauren, who is fresh out of college, just landed a neat job with the company that runs RetailMeNot. Have y'all used them yet? It's kind of a clearing house of online coupons. I recommend you go and click around. You can type in a store or a website, and they'll give you links to all coupon codes or online sales that are happening right now. Definitely worth checking out if you do online Christmas shopping!

Love this.

I really like how those books are lined up to spell out a word. Pretty creative! I hate OMG too, mainly because using God's name in vain is one of my biggest pet peeves. I've checked out RetailMeNot within the past couple days and have found some nice coupon codes to use with online shopping.

OMW -- I love it!

I always thought OMW meant On My Way. Oh well. I bought TOO big of a bird; he was 20 pounds for 8 people and neither of my kids really ate much so I have a TON left over. Also, I have no interest in turkey for at least 6 weeks!

[Julie@Momspective]

I did not neat nearly enough turkey. We brought the ham to our potluck dinner and that's what we took home. I wanted their leftover turkey so bad especially since I don't like ham but I got shafted. Wah.

I like the OMW instead of OMG, although I do use OMG I always say, "oh my goodness" or "Oh my gosh" I too have eaten my fair share of leftovers. As a matter of fact, I just finished off the last piece of butter cake while I read your post...OMW.

I found your site through Stacy Uncorked and the Random Tuesday Thoughts Rebel.

I've seen the Doggy Doo commercial and the Pop the Pig commercial. Not really sure what they are thinking, but I always tell Turbo that he doesn't really need the game of Doggy Doo when he gets to go outside and play it for real. Yes, he is on dog poop patrol as one of his chores.

OMW is a lovely southern thing. Maybe, if we all start using it OMG will go out of fashion. We could be all trendsetting.

[Alaina]

Ha, love the new text lingo!

[Jan's Sushi Bar]

OMG could also stand for that other wonderful Southern saying (my grandmother's favorite): Oh My Goodness! See? No taking Anyone's name in vain there.

Buy the extra turkey breast next year, or you'll just end up with even more dark meat leftovers.
