I really overstuffed myself on chicken and cake today.
I know others have posted the reference, but here’s the video recording.

Worked, came home, walked the dog .

Thanks for stealing my thunder. dude. :mad:
Midget, yay for sister birthday cake and chicken!
Thus has another new year begun. I think soon we shall go lie upon the bed and watch teevee until sleepy time. After all, tomorrow is an irk day.
Nitey Nite Y’all!
Irk has been busy today, which is a good thing when you need the money.
I made spam and beans for dinner, for whatever reason I really wanted it.
The bad part is there are always leftovers and spam and beans are one of those things that I won’t want again for another year or so.
I skipped going to my friends house, she had only one other person coming and I really didn’t want to see her. I like her but she is draining to be around.
My flu is going through my family.
I think Sah-son and I lucked out and missed it.
I have to go to the armpit Sunday, I hope my mother is better by then.
And the theoretical cigar is yours!
You would have to be un-hip all the way back to 1970 or earlier to have missed him. Do a YouTube on him and enjoy The Vatican Rag with us.
Went for a rather chilly motorcycle ride this morning, went shooting this afternoon, and just back from a small dinner party this evening. Having a social butterfly for the year, I’m probably going to kick back for a well earned rest.
Didn’t get around to the tangerines after all, and it’s getting late and I still wanted to wash my hair tonight instead of in the morning (I don’t think it would give me a cold necessarily to walk to the bus stop with damp hair, but dammit,it’s chilly out there!) but at least the pumpkin seeds are in the toaster oven, and I even got some old bread cubed up and toasted to make stuffing/dressing soon. Dinner was a new thing: mashed potato patties. I mixed in green & sweet onion plus lots of garlic, and fried them up sort of hash-brown style. They’re quite good! Will make again!
I have all the ingredients for spicy chicken spring rolls so if I’m hungry enough after my shower I’ll have those as a pre-bedtime snack. Otherwise, I guess that’s dinner tomorrow. Oh, and I managed to be able to do a little nice deed: that sticker giveaway for pots and pans I mentioned? I had some left over, not enough to get anything more, so I posted on Craig’s list and a very nice and seemingly quite grateful lady picked them up today, so I hope she could get another skillet for herself.
After all that whining on my part, let the record show that this was the saddest, emptiest pumpkin ever. Normally I can fill a toaster oven tray twice over with seeds from one gourd, but this one barely yielded two handfuls. They looked so pitiful there on the toaster oven tray, like the Charlie Brown Christmas tree of leftover Halloween pumpkin seeds.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN 'Tis 47 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 64 and possibly rain this afternoon. We shall see.
'Tis back to irk today. At least it’s Firday and I don’t expect too much whineage today. Appropriate/inappropriate appendages shall remain crossed.
Ok, that’s all I got. I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas, irk purtification must commence.
Happy Firday Y’all!
My unhipness is terminal and eternal, but I do know The Vatican Rag - I just didn’t know who was responsible. So maybe I’m just semi-unhip?
Good Morning!! It’s amazing what 8 uninterrupted hours will do for a body! Shortly after 8:30 last night, I took a melatonin with my evening meds, then crawled under the covers and was oblivious until a bit after 5 this morning! I didn’t hear **FCD **come to bed and I’d locked the cats out, so no dealing with them, either. I feel almost human again!
There’s a check waiting for me at the little store so we’ll see what my Christmas sales netted me. Probably not much since I didn’t take much over there, but we shall see. Anyway, once the store opens, I’ll swing by and pick it up, then take it to the credit union before hitting the meat department at Food Lion. Something’s gonna get smoked this afternoon!!! 
**FCD **has gone into work, at least for a little while. He finished the project he was working on, but he’s got some mandatory training to complete (ugh - I so hated that crap!) and if his boss is there, he might get something else to do. So I have no idea when he’ll get home.
It’s supposed to be a sunny day, but this weekend is going to be rainy, then a deep cold front comes thru and I will not be happy. Stoopit winter. 
Oh, and my b-day is 3 weeks from today, so you’d better get your shopping and shipping underway! 
Happy Firday!!
Make that the second most- I once attempted to save seed from a really nice tasty pumpkin variety I was growing- this involves hand-pollinating then tying up the flower to stop other pollen getting in. It grew well, looked good, and I harvested it… Chopped it open, and there was not one single seed in there. Just a totally empty cavity.
At least it still made good soup!
Today is moving day and I have a cold and do not have a voice. It’s also my job to distract my grandparents for 4 hours. Rah.
That’s a damned depressing way to start my morning.
Up, caffeinated, off towork this afternoon.
As I checked the smoking time and temp chart, I came across an entry for pork loin roast (boneless) and in the column describing its state when done, it says (Meat should pull away from bone.) But it’s boneless? How will I ever know?!?!?!??!
Who knew this would be so complicated??
Up, breakfasted and caffeinating. I think I’ll play in the studio before doing the grocery run and maybe a couple loads of laundry.
Up and caffeinating. Feeling a lot better. I did not fall back asleep after getting up at 5 to feed the Feline Overlords (and take some Sudafed/cough medicine). Feeling good enough to wash sheets. Also to run vacuum (because the house gets gross if I don’t every 2-3 days).
But I don’t think I’ll push doing any more than that. I’m still coughing a lot and using the rescue inhaler a lot, so I’m going to take the rest of the day easy!
I have the stuff to make 15 bean soup, so beans will go in to soak tonight. Yum! I don’t know WTH else I’ll have for lunch/dinner next week, because I’m still not very hungry. Planning meals isn’t working too well because nothing sounds very good.
Happy Firday!
It’s a cold 35 degrees outside and it looks like it’s a bit sunny.
It’s supposed to snow tomorrow and rain on Sunday.
I woke up in an ill mood this morning.
The closer it gets to going to the armpit the more irritable I get. I really like my doctor down there, but I’m thinking maybe I need to find one up here.
Or simply “name challenged”.
