PapaJohn is making supper - ain’t he sweet?? 😃 I’m putting together afghan squares. It’s going pretty fast - I may have one done tonight. Plans for tomorrow - laundry, studio time, aaaaaand, I dunno what else. We shall see. ---

I was nursing a hangover this morning, too, **Swampy**. I’m ok now, but still tired. We had a very good time. This was the act we saw, [The Joe Valentino Show](http://joevalentino.com/index.htm). I’ve grocery shopped and that’s about it, except for packaging up all the meat I bought for the freezer! My best purchase was 12 leg quarters for a measly $3.90. .32 cents apiece! Yay! Dinner will be a spiral sliced ham, baked sweet N.O.Ts and okra and tomatoes. See y’all on the flip side! ---

Dinner is chicken alfredo: and I swear I smell garlic. Man. I hope there’s some garlic bread in my immediate future. 😃 ---

How’s this for a tease? MY cell phone was missing for a good share of the day, and it was found under the bed of a male stranger. ---

**Bobbio**! We want the story and we want it NOW!!! :dubious: 😃 Excellent LOL, **rosie**. Spent more lots of time in the garden. Dug a bed for hostas, ferns, daylilies and other plants that like shade next to my neighbor’s house (there’s only maybe 15 feet (max) between our houses and we both want to get rid of the lawn. I’ve been collecting free plants to put in there for a while and made good progress. Another 4 hours or so and I’ll have it filled in. It’s much better than the weeds that have been proliferating in the lawn. Also, I can admire it from my dining room window. Still need to finish moving plants around in my 1/2 of the space. I’ve started to develop a design concept for the whole space. Should be fun to finish carrying out. Pictures to come. Gotta go take a shower and finish depollinating. Back later… GT ---

Short version: Took a call for 2nd duty crew this morning, for a guy with a bleeding tracheostomy (a breathing tube in his neck). I hopped up on his hospital bed to move him to the stretcher, because if I leaned I would have hurt my back. Sometime while I was doing that, my phone fell off my belt and wound up under his bed. Much less lurid than the tease, innit? Well, that’s why it was a tease. I could probably do a tale about the weekend, but it won’t be tonight. I’s tahred… ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Scruffy must die! Between waking me at obscene hours on the weekend and peeing in the house, I’m about ready to send her to a farm in the country. Oh, wait, we live in the country… You know how most towns have this business that never seems to do business? The cleaners with almost no clothes inside, the diner with no patrons and no cars around it? And the place has been like that for 10 or mo0re years? My one uncle had a theory that they were all fronts for cat and dog killing rings. Sort of like buying a Mafia hit. Your girlfriends cat on your last nerve? Your husbands birddog chewed up your favorite pumps? Head in to Happy Burger and order the “house special”. Even the pet fish can end up sleeping with the fishes. So check around for town and see if any place fits the description. ---

I cheated, though, and used a brownie mix. I’m sure they’d be better if I made them from scratch, though.
