I bought way too many books for my birthday. Heck with it, I’m one year closer to 40 so I can do that. I was going to go to a certain popular local eatery for lunch (whose name rhymes with “Pack’s Tavern”) but it smelled like bleach and the hostesses had a distinct air of “seat yourself, local bitch.” That was something up with which I would not put, so I walked out, down another block, and into another eatery (whose name rhymes with “Farm Burger”) which smelled like food and had nicer people working there. They also had a chicken burger which sounds strange but tastes good. Then I went for a long drive down a lovely mountaintop road. I had a good time laughing at all the people who thought building a house on the top of a mountain is a good idea. I also found a [Sassy Gay Friend](http://youtu.be/XYQavD9mSIc) online. Everybody needs one of those. 😃 ---

Howdy Y’all! I survived another day of irk. YAY! I yanked some beast stew outta da freezer last night and nukulated it for dindin along with some frozen rolls that I thoughtfully baked. Go Me! 😃 **spidey** bears who think know to eat chawklit in moderation. Never more than five pounds worth at one time. Sattidy, OYKW and I are goin’ up to Ye Olde Hometowne for the day. I have twenty pounds of pee-kahns from the church yahd to take to mom (N.O.M.). They are unshelled and I offered to get ‘em cracked and shelled out but mom and Frank (my new daddy, it cracks him up when I call him that) said no. Seems Frank gets a charge outta crackin’ and shellin’ pee-kahns. Hey, knock yerself out is what I say. Anywho, we’ll take ‘em to N.O.L. at this outrageously goooooooooooooood [del]hog trough[/del] buffet place called Green Tomato Buffet. The food is amazin’. Then we’ll head back to da cave late Sattidy afternoon. Plus, as a bonus, I get to see my sissy. I lurves my sissy! ---

> [@Seanette](#): > > I’m sorry, I don’t understand this phrase. Me either. Why, it’s almost like too much choklit! :eek: When I got off irk tonight, I hacd a low front tire. The same tire that was low the other day. I took it to the tire shop where they did a temporary silicon seal and told me I needed a new rim. They’re sourcing a refurb one tomorrow (alloy rims are $500 a pop new :eek:). Money in, money out. ---
