My fabulous friend Brandon sent me this joke in an email today. I thought I would share it with you all. I have no clue who wrote it and I am not saying I or Brandon did. I thought it was so funny. There is my disclaimer! Enjoy!
The Pregnant Turkey!
One year at Thanksgiving, my mom went to my sister's house for the traditional feast. Knowing how gullible my sister is, my mom decided to play a trick. She told my sister that she needed something from the store. When my sister left, my mom took the turkey out of the oven. She removed the stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, inserted it into the turkey, and re-stuffed the turkey. She then placed the bird(s) back in the oven. When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the oven and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon hit something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird. With a look of total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed, 'Patricia, you've cooked a pregnant bird!' At the reality of this horrifying news, my sister started to cry. It took the family two hours to convince her that turkeys lay eggs!
Yep..................SHE'S BLONDE!

Just a little memory of mine
I used to love watching Soaps. I was a huge Days of Our Lives fan. I haven’t seen it in a very long time though. I started watching it when I was in the 6th or 7th grade with my sister. I fell in love with the story where Marlena was possessed and the evil Stephano was around. I loved to watch Day’s when ever I could. We would actually tape it on the days we had school. It was a guilty pleasure of mine. So lately I have been thinking about Days a lot. Even so much I looked up Deidre Hall on Twitter and even tweeted a couple times to her.
Back in the day, I don’t remember what year it was but it was a long time ago. Lol. My cousin was getting married in Virginia Beach. He was in the Navy and that was where he was stationed. I remember talking with my family about the wedding and some of my family knew how I liked to watch Days of Our Lives. So when I found out that Deidre Hall’s sister Andrea who used to be on Day’s was coming to the wedding I was so excited. Of course I was excited that my cousin was marrying such a nice woman too.
I found out that growing up her husband and my uncle Steve were really good friends. He was the best man at their wedding and all of that fun stuff. My grandparents knew him really well too. I think my mom did too but I can’t remember. Sadly, My uncle Steve had passed away. My uncle Steve was a great man who loved his family and friends a lot. I couldn’t ask for a better uncle. All of my mom’s brothers were/are wonderful people. Yes, even my uncle who lives in the mountains with all the dogs.
When I went to the wedding I was so excited. I was so star struck. I know she was just a normal person but it was a big deal to me. I hadn’t been watching Day’s long enough to ever see Andrea on the show but she was “Marlena’s” sister. She later returned to Day’s as Hattie. Anyone who knows what Hattie looked like I promise you that Andrea doesn’t really look like that. She looks so much like Deidre it is scary. Andrea is gorgeous.
Andrea and her wonderful husband ended up sitting at our table at the wedding. I ended up sitting next to her at the reception. We took pictures too. They are both really nice people. She gave my sister and I both autographed pictures of Deidre which I still have to this day. It was just really cool to meet her. I think my sister took her napkin as a keepsake.
I don’t know if she still remembers me or not. I do remember her and how much fun we had at the wedding. I am sure they will always both remember my uncle Steve. When my Grandma Rose passed away, I remember that they sent flowers or a plant. That time period is all a little fuzzy to me still. It was a very devastating time for me losing my grandma.
I just felt the urge to share this story with you guys. It has just been on my mind and I think it was totally awesome.

GlammaTOYS Review and Giveaway
My son like all other kids loves toys. That is his favorite thing for me to review. We had a chance to review a toy from GlammaTOYS. GlammaTOYS is a website where you can purchase all kinds of wonderful toys. They have so many to choose from. They even sell one of my favorite games, Bananagrams. My cousin got me addicted to Bananagrams.
I really like the selection of toys. They also have toys that are great for children with Special Needs including Autism, Down’s Syndrome and Learning Disabilities. You can check out their attention to special needs.
GlammaTOYS even has a special program for teachers and other educators called Educator’s Corner where you get a 10% discount and other special deals and emails. My mom is a teacher so, I know that a lot of the time the materials that teachers have in their classrooms are out of the teacher’s pocket. I think it is wonderful that GlammaTOYS offers them a discount. It is even free to join! What a great way to give back to our teachers. Here is more information on Educator’s Corner
including how to sign up.
You can earn Glammabucks in GlammaTOYS’ loyalty program. It’s really easy when you sign up for a customer account you are automatically enrolled for the rewards program. Just shop and for every dollar you spend you get 3,000 glammabucks reward points. They add up quickly and can be redeemed for instant GlammaTOYS gift certificates. Your points do not expire either. How cool is that? They really reward you for shopping with them. It’s not the normal 10 points a dollar it is three thousand. There are also special offers and free gift wrapping for qualified members. Psst…Teachers… You get double points if you sign up for the Educator’s Corner. Check out here for more about the Loyality program.
If that wasn’t enough to make you run to go shop, GlammaTOYS also has a Refer a Friend program. Here is how it works. For every person you refer you get a $5 gift certificate when your friend makes their first purchase. Your friend saves 10% on their purchase and has all the luxuries of being a GlammaTOYS shopper too. I am sure you and your friends will find wonderful educational toys for your children.
We had the chance to review the Kimochis Huggtopus Box. Kimochi is Japanese for feelings. The Kimochi family of toys were created to help children express their feelings which can be a hard thing to do as a young child. The Huggtopus is a stuffed octopus that comes with emotion cushions. The Huggtopus helps children identify and express their feelings. It calms and comforts and instills confidence. The Huggtopus comes with a story book too.
The day we received the Huggtopus, my son was so excited to open the box and see it. I had showed him on my computer what was coming a couple days before it arrived. So, when I told him it had arrived he was so excited. He wanted me to open the box and he stood right by me the entire time. Once he saw the Huggotpus, his eyes lit up and he smiled. I showed him the little feeling friends as I call them and he liked taking them out of their little bag and putting them back in again. He carried around the Huggtopus all day and even slept with it next to him that night. He likes to talk about him. We haven’t given him a name yet. That will come in time I am sure. I like how soft and cuddly the huggtopus is. You can’t help but want to hug it. It looks so friendly and sweet. We really love our newest stuffed addition.
For more information please visit GlammaTOYS. They have Free shipping on orders over $75. If you want to read about the free shipping please click here
