swampy, as Iā€™ve said before, if it wasnā€™t for one little thing, Iā€™d be on you like stamps on a letter. Think of the meals we could make! You do the dinner, I do the breads and dessert1 :D:p:) Mmm, I think the champagne is working. Iā€™m no wine expert, but the Martini and Rossi Asti is tasty. ---

> [@dogbutler](#): > > You say that like itā€™s a bad thing. _I_ know where my cumin is. I know where my cumin is, too - in the back under a film of dust! šŸ˜› _ **HAPPY NEW YEAR!!** _ Starting off the new year right - I woke of my own accord at 4AM and couldnā€™t fall back to sleep, dammit. After tossing and turning for about an hour, I decided to let my sweetie sleep. Higgs has been fed, let out, and let back in. Iā€™ve had my breakfast PB&J and Iā€™m caffeinating. I just wrote an email to my youngest sis - lots of stuff going on in her life, which is part of why I was tossing and turning. And so begins my day. My weather gadget lies! It says itā€™s 30Ā°, but when I let Higgs out, I checked the thermometer outside the garage door - more like 20Ā°!! The yard is sparkly with frost and the pup ran out, peed fast, and ran back in - proof itā€™s cold out there!! Iā€™d like to hang out some laundry when it gets light - hereā€™s hoping it rises above freezing quickly. No major plans for the day. Weā€™ll just see what comes up. \*\*FCD \*\*said heā€™ll need a little help with some fiberglass work at some point. Other than that, who knows? Why should 2015 be better planned than 2014?? Happy Thursday, too! šŸ˜ƒ ---

My internet went out yesterday afternoon, so I went over to Irish Storytellerā€™s house early. A good time was had by all. Peter Capaldi has my approval as the new Doctor. Doctor Who Monopoly also has my approval, but the pieces could be improved. I wanted either a Dalek or a TARDIS piece and there werenā€™t any. I had to play as a stalk of celery. Now it is time to head off to irk. Well, to Burger Thang and then irk. I need breakfast and do not feel like cooking. ---

Good Morninā€™ Yā€™all! Up and caffienatinā€™. _YAWN_ 'Tis 34 Amurrkin out and foggy with a predicted high of 61 for the day. Tomorrow itā€™s supposed to rain. We shall see. I have the poke tenderloins marinatinā€™ now. Everything else is pretty much ready. Really, warminā€™ up the collards and peas, bakinā€™ the squish casserole, and makinā€™ cornbread is all I need to do. OYKW shall man the grill. Oh and I made up the Bloody Mary mix. Go Me! **Nettie** WOOHOO!!! Go You! **doggio** I donā€™t need my spices alphatized. Whatever I need is in there somewhere. šŸ˜› Ok, thatā€™s all I got. I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Brekkie shall be a forage for whatever deal. At some point I must also purtify. One must be presentable for oneā€™s invitated guests after all. **HAPPY NEW YEAR Yā€™ALL!!!** ---

Happy New Year! Happy Thorsday! Itā€™s a cold 27 degrees outside. Iā€™m glad I donā€™t have to go out. I may go out to visit with some friends but I donā€™t know yet. Thank you \*\*Gotti \*\* I will keep an eye on the tablet. My old phone used to connect and disconnect from WiFi randomly. Iā€™m trying to figure out how his tablet was using all that data when it was sitting on the kitchen counter. Yay! \*\*Nettie \*\* was there ever any doubt? Thereā€™s a cool game called NotPr0n. I havenā€™t played it in years. I think I got to level 7 and got stuck. Itā€™s a challenge, maybe Sah-son and I should start playing again. ---

Iā€™ve heard the name Tom Lehrer, but I couldnā€™t have told you anything beyond that. Bear in mind, Iā€™ve been tragically unhip for decades. Showered, dressed, cleaned the cat box, vacuumed, tossed a load of jeans in the washer. Kitchen next. Thatā€™s a lot of productivity before 9AM!!
