Just a few more...

I've been tagged by two people for the same meme.  Tristan, who blogs but you can't go to her site because it's not for the puh-blic, tagged me, and so did Mrs. Maxwell.  It's a "7 Random Things" tag so I'll make it short.  I was tagged with a similar meme in August that you can read here if you're interested.

1.  I HATE scary movies.

2.  I've never brined a turkey, but I'm giving it a try this Thanksgiving.

3.  Chris (my husband) and I have the same initials and similar names.  He's Christopher Alan Ross, and I'm Christina Ann Ross.  When we were married and received our first set of checks with our full names on the top, I was concerned people might think I/he/we were a transsexual in the process of gender reassignment surgery.  [Chris was disturbed that I could think of such a thing.]

4.  I carry packets of Taco Bell Mild Sauce in my purse so I can occasionally rip them open with my teeth and swallow a squirt while driving.  I love Taco Bell Mild Sauce.

5.  Mary (our dog) escaped yesterday and was gone for an hour.  When she returned home, I was convinced she'd been violated.  Mother told me it was impossible because Mary's been fixed and unless coyotes held her little arms down, an unwanted dog assault simply could NOT happen.  [This thought disturbs Chris too.]

6.  I like to sneeze and poop.  Not at the same time.

7.  I spend too much time alone.

I promise to not do one of these again for a long time.  TMI and my filters are all distorted.  I apologize.  If you'd like to participate, consider yourself tagged.  Go!

1. ME TOO!2. You're doing WHAT to a turkey?3. I find this hilarious - and rather logical.4. Eww.5. I don't like to think about animal sex.6. This sounds like my kids.7. I like spending time alone a little more than I should. Anti-social tendencies are bad.

I was just thinking about brining a turkey this year as well. Funny.

Too Funny!

I am going to make my THIRD brined turkey this year and it is the best way to make a turkey. If you don't have one...get one of those meat thermometers with the cord on it that hooks up to a digital base. You can stick it in your turkey, set the timer to the temp you want and when it reaches that temp it will let you know and your bird is done. Mine has taken about 2.5 hours (12 lb turkey) and it is so moist and yummy!

Mary is hot. I'm sure she was violated. Even Mary needs to get a little sometimes. Was she smoking a cigarette when she got back? I hope she didn't hook up with a polygamist/swinger dog!

"I carry packets of Taco Bell Mild Sauce in my purse so I can occasionally rip them open with my teeth and swallow a squirt while driving. I love Taco Bell Mild Sauce."

Just don't hit a pot hole whilst doing this. That would be either a) really messy, or b) hurt like hell. "MY EYE! MY EYE!"

And pooping is cool . . .

I'm grossed out by the Taco Bell thing, but I like pickle juice, so I guess I shouldn't judge.

I will have to do this! But I can't tag anyone because I don't even have 7 friends on the internet.

Kate Coveny Hood - Brining is when you soak meat for a day or so in a salty, herby solution prior to roasting. It's supposed to make the meat very tender.

Dr. Zibbs - You'll have to let us know how it goes. Did you really read this?

Connie - I can't reveal why I thought Mary was violated. And if she was, it was definitely a polygamist/swinger dog. Definitely. She's receiving therapy and being deprogrammed.

Tysdaddy - I'm careful with the sauce... NOTHING is better than a good BM.

Sherri - Sorry about the Taco Bell thing. I like pickle juice too! And olive juice.

I find it hard to believe you don't have 7 friends on the internet... I can't wait to read your random things. It's gonna be GREAT!

Chrisy, it would seem we are equally disturbed and that our husbands have the same concern about the totally bizarre things that enter our minds. I think I've suggested this before, but I'm guessing we can get a group rate on therapy. Or you can blame it on the Taco Bell sauce...I don't have any such excuse :)

Really on #1?? Bummer, I thought that when you come visit San Diego and we become best friends that we could go see a scary movie together.

Also. Really on #4?

I hate scary movies too!! Even action movies scare the bejebus out of me. I saw No Country for Old Men in theatres, and I still haven't recovered (AND I covered my eyes during the really scary bits).

Tristan - Oh we alllll have excuses. I'll help you find one. I'm good at that. I'm in for the group therapy.

San Diego Momma - I'm sorry Deb. We can drink and say in appropriate things together though! And yes, I really do suck Taco Bell Mild Sauce out of the little packets. I clean them with disinfectant wipes before I put them in my purse though. Is that better? Or worse?

Deidre - I cover my eyes too. Cute that you say "bits"...

I love Taco Bell Mild Sauce too.

I did not need to know about number six, but, um, er, me too.
