We had poke teriyaki hot out of the toaster oven! It was YUMMMMMMMMM! In a little bit, weā€™ll finish the last of the apple crisp with some ice cream. \*\*FCD \*\*and I are swapping dental appointments tomorrow - heā€™s going at 8 since he has a meeting at 10, so Iā€™ll go at 9.

> [@Sahirrnee](#): > > I think amazon is all straightened out. Working there I ainā€™t betting on it. šŸ˜ƒ Some odd stuff at the abandoned mostly house next door to the point I had to call the cops. Someone, probably from the bank foreclosing, was clearly doing yard work but the doors were left open. And I mean open open. And the Old Wench thought she saw someone move across a window. So it was Howdy 911 and I just sit here armed in case you chase them my way by accident. Didnā€™t happen though and the police think they have the place at least semi-secured. I may just stay a little extra hairy overnight just in case. ---

Howdy Yā€™all! Been a long and bzzy day for da bear but itā€™s over now and only one more day of irk this week. YAY! It was decided to make beef as well as chikin tacos. Good thing cause it all got et. Everyone had plenty which is a good thing but when it was all done and ready to serve I was worried we had overdone it and would have leftover stuff to deal with. Didnā€™t happen though. **red** my container did indeed have a blue top. I have an assortment of 'em with blue, red, and clear tops. Variety is the spice of containers after all. šŸ˜ƒ **AirForce** shake 'n bake poke chops, [and I helped!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB7j3sUWohE) šŸ˜ƒ ~swampbear - over user of the šŸ˜ƒ smilie ---

I worked at two stores today. I took a nap Now Iā€™m watching hockey and making dinner(lemon basil salmon, rice with porcini mushrooms and suateed green beans with shallots). **swampy** , I like ā€œ:Dā€ **sati** , Gordie just sleeps in the sun, and sits by me after sundown.

There are some foods my husband likes BETTER as leftovers. šŸ™‚ Finished the multiple-guess portion of my Word 2013 final (itā€™s a half-semester online class), taking a snack breather before diving into the practical side. I think this instructorā€™s MC tests border on the insane, since half the questions are not covered in class materials and I wind up having to Google the answers. ---

I went to bed with Mel last night. I should encourage Higgs to sleep with Mel, too.
