Well...32 years ago this March 19th, I married the man of my dreams. We started out (some of this is fuzzy...as I'm 54 years old...) calling each other "love" and that evolved into a language (our love language - clean, but ours). One day I called playfully called Richard a "turkey" and he called me that back and it stuck. His nickname is "Wubs" and that's from the original love language - Wubs, Wubbies - Love, Lovie....(get it?). I'm not sure how the "s" was added. But it stuck.
Well, "Turkey" stuck until I became pregnant with our first daughter (she is now 30 years old). We bought skiis for me and they offered to engrave them...so we added "Mama" to the nickname. We went skiing on our anniversary at Snowbird, on the Chickadee lift and went out to the symphony and dinner. He really wore me out! But, I digress....
Everyone else calls each other names like "dear" and "honey" and "darling", but for me...those are condescending and he better not call me by those names unless he wants me to grit my teeth and call him some derrogatory names back. He learned that one pretty early on....*G*
So, it's nothing to do with a feast-filled holiday in November and it's nothing to do with a country, but it has been a "safe" and hardly used nickname on the net for about 15 years now.
Ok...now you can get back to TW or whatever you are absorbing at the moment.
Nothing to do with Bella and Edward or TW - sorry!

I really should proof better. But, this blog is supposed to be fun and I'm supposed to be "perfect" at work...so I hope ya'all will forgive my periodic lapses into typo-mania!
I meant to say that ...One day I playfully called Richard...
Oops
Do we have a typo blog yet? *hah*
I really don't know how "for" got in there instead of "got". Can anyone fix typos once they are posted? Sheesh!
This is the rest of Turkeymama's post:

Sorry I know this is wacky right now. The blog owner is playing around with something and it will all make sense eventually or disappear. So anyone who reads the above comment, just disregard and carry on. Thanks guys. Man I need vampire hours. I try to pretend I am one but the results are not les than vampirific.
Well I think its a good nickname, even though its not Twilighty-lol. It has meaning, a history. Why change something thats been working for you for so long, right? :)
I wondered if I should change it, but decided to stick with the old. It's fitting with the age of this grandmother! *G*
