Higgs is home, crashed on the couch. \*\*FCD \*\*gave her a small bite of treat, then she drank some water, and almost immediately puked it up. Poor puppeh. We’ve got to keep her from running around for 5-7 days. Yeah, right… Luckily, \*\*FCD \*\*is taking off tomorrow and Firday, so he’ll be able to monitor her. Leftover bean soup for supper. Rain’s a-comin’ but it’s still mild out, so I have a few windows open. That won’t last much longer. I’ve cleaned the pellet stove in time for the next cold snap. That pretty much sums it up. I’s tahred… ---

I feel like Mrs. Plant v.2.0’s aunt, who called us from Connecticut to ask if we were well in Arkansas after a tornado in Texas, but I hope than you Georgians were not affected by the tornado. ---

Howdy Y’all! Tornadoes survived here. Ok, no tornado got near me but we did have a tornado warnin’ a little bit ago. It got really bad so Evening Prayer over to the church house got cancelled. Seriously, rainin’ so hard I couldn’t see out the kitchen window. Everything is calmin’ down now though. Hamburger steak, smashed **N.O.T.** and peas ‘n carrots for dindin tonight. Yeah, I know, how excitatin’ but it was easy and what I was in the mood for. Oh and I made onion gravy. YUM! **nuts** not to worry. I wouldn’t burn you as a heretic for likin’ [del]fartblossoms[/del] Brussels Sprouts and not likin’ bacon. I’d burn you as a heretic for not keepin’ sufficient amounts of tp on hand. 😃 ---

That stom blew through here yesterday and we had tornado watches but just thunder and rain but it was nasty. So stay safe. I have been hungry all day and can’t seem to eat enough. I have even had a bowl of oatmeal for supper after I ate dinner. Tomorrow is Thursday ! Woohoo! ---

I am up in the middle of the night - some times this happens more than I’d care to admit, but usually I just stay in bed and eventually go back to sleep. This morning, however, I got up and got on the computer. Oh boy, I need to get back to sleep! My daughter paid me a high compliment today. I’ve been on a chex mix kick lately, especially this limited edition version called peppermint bark. I’ve been making my own version although we’ve managed to snag a few bags of it from the stores. At any rate, my daughter told me that she likes my version better than the Chex Mix one! My version is, naturally, different from the official Chex version - I add chocolate and don’t add 10X sugar; my coating is melted white chocolate with a drizzle of melted dark chocolate; peppermint extract provides the peppermint flavor. The Chex web page has many, many recipes for a wide variety of Chex mix. I usually use the store brand version of Chex also, as it is usually much less expensive. LOL It’s time for me to get back to bed … see you all on Thursday, or rather later today. 😉 ---

Is this what happens when you get old? You wake up at 5:30 in the morning? It’s ok, I guess as I have homework that is due Saturday and I’ll be busy most of today and Friday. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 42 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 59 for the day. The cool down has arrived. We may even get below freezin’ tonight or tomorrow night! :eek: **doggio** I completely agree. Get rid of the [del]fartblossoms[/del] Brussels Sprouts and **flytrap’s** recipe sounds pretty good. 😃 Also, **gt** I already know what to do with 'em. Leave the dang things in the field to rot. ICK! **StickyBuns** don’t worry about gettin’ up early bein’ a sign of gettin’ old. You don’t have to worry until you start settin’ your alarm clock to go off so you don’t miss the early bird special at Denny’s. 😃 Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas purtification for irk must also commence. I also get to funeralize Miss Betty this mornin’. Happy Thursday Y’all!
