Mrs. Plant v.3.0 wanted Hamburger Helper for dinner. I bought it for her.  
I feel so cheap…  
Patti somebody running for judge startled me at dawn with a campaign cut out of her standing on the street corner.  
Perhaps I’ll go to work a little early in the morning, and take a magic marker.

**sahirrnee** , my ex-roommate refers to Gordie as “The Dog From Hell” A well earned nickname.

Sticky, hope they fix the van quick.

**Flytrap** , if you’re cheap, maybe Mrs. 3.0 will be easy. 😉

**Tao** , I really appreciate the offer of food!  
I have been using Dah Husband a little to frequently lately. We don’t have a lot of disposable income, so I need to cut the eating out, well, OUT 🙂

Yeah, I definitely hear that! I haven’t been pregnant myself, but as a lifelong weird-urge-eater, all I can suggest is that sometimes just a bit of what you’re craving kills the craving. Crunchy, sweet, sour, salty…I swear to Og, there are many times when I’m hungry and want chips or something salty when I can just lick salt off my hand and I’m good. O.o

Of course, there are days like today when eating everything in the house to the point I look more pregnant than you probably feel doesn’t make me want to just eat more of everything, lol.

Hrm, I haven’t tried a pickle-peanut-butter-mayo sammich lately…That one usually cures all cravings at once 🙂

I don’t eat it anymore because of the sodium but I love, love, love hamburger helper. :hangs head in shame and turns in culinary credentials:

Tonight I went to pick up some new unmentionables that I had ordered from Lane Bryant and I had their nifty little coupon for $10 off of $50. While in the store I found this [catchy little number](http://www.lanebryant.com/animal-print-peplum-top/p157196/index.pro?selectedColor=Parachute%20purple&selectedSize=None%20selected) which, as you can see, is $49.95. They would not take the coupon, so I didn’t buy it. ☹

I am now munching on adobadas Lays chips. So yummy. So salty.  
I am SO avoiding the scale tomorrow, lol.

And I thought the whole pickle-pb-mayo thing was a joke until I tried it.  
It really does hit every taste spot at once! It’s yummy 🙂

Well, since I killed the MMP \<or perhaps it was the pickle-pb-mayo idea? 😃 \> I shall resurrect it. Might as well, since I slept an hour and woke up, ugh. MrTao went to a bachelor party, so of course I woke the minute it passed the time he said he’d be home. 😛 Since they went to Mexicali, there’s always extra worries there. He’s on his way home, turns out; he’d messaged me while online at the crossing, and although the phone’s in another room and it’s muted, I still woke up the same minute he texted me. That kind of thing happens a lot, but it still freaks him out. I just giggle and pretend like I’m psychic. Who the hell’s psychic when they’re asleep? Pfft.

\*\*BBBobbio \*\*- make sure you rush out and buy bread, milk, eggs, and TP - so you can have french toast, then poop! 😃

I plan to make one concession to the potential weather disaster approaching - I told \*\*FCD \*\*we need to get some gasoline for the generator. After losing over $2K in aquarium wildlife from the hurricane last year, I refuse to go thru that again. Even if we only run it an hour at a time, it’ll keep the critters alive, plus keep our water tank full. That’s all that really matters if we lose power - live fishies and the ability to flush at will.

TGIF and all that. I woke at 3 and couldn’t get back to sleep, so I’m dragging right now. ugh. \*\*FCD \*\*did take me to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, so I’m full of blueberry pancakes, but once the sugar rush wears off, I’m in trouble. Maybe he’ll want to leave early today - one can only hope.

_ **Happy Rebo Day!!** _

And Happy Firday to the rest of ya!
