All righty! Cabbage is stuffed, loaded in the pot, and sitting in the fridge till I cook it up on Sunday. I need to empty, then refill the dishwasher and make up the chicken salad for supper. But for now, I need a break.

I don’t know if I mentioned already, but when she was 17, my youngest sister gave up a son for adoption. A few months back, she began to search for him in earnest. Today she was informed that a letter and some photos from him are on the way to her. She’d already sent him a letter and some pics via the adoption agency. Needless to say, she’s way more than excited. And I’m guessing a meeting will happen soon.

Her son will be 32 in April. My sister could well be a grandmother!! THAT is a bizarro thought!

Happy **FIRDAY** all!

Papa John’s has brought back their cheeseburger pizza! YAY!! We ordered it, too, it is sooo good. I think it’s the pickles that makes it so good. LOL Anyway, very glad it’s back on their menu.

I’m still around mostly lurking, even on Facebook. I’ve got several different channels that I follow on u-tube, though, most of them related to pet dogs or cats. PM me if you are interested in possibly following them as well. Some of the pets are really cute. 🙂

This should be interesting. A co-worker who has been working with Vogons and puppies thinks I am not making enough to work with Vogons and puppies and will suggest to my management that I’ll need an income adjustment.

Until then… I bought one of those “As seen on TV” giggle balls for the dogs. So far, it seems to be more entertaining to the humans than to the hounds.

And if you have a Concealed Carry Permit, hand him that with your license. It wins friends and prevents many a strip search.

Laundry is done, and kitchen is cleaned. Making Asian BBQ chicken with stir fried green beans and green tea rice for dinner. I’m about to give Gordie his birthday Frosty Paws.

Happy Birthday **Sahmom**!

Feel better, **Grumpy**. At least the “oral surgeon” didn’t keep asking you if it was safe.:eek:

I’m tired and got paid, a combo which has lead to Chinese delivery for dinner. Call it a 50/50 split celebration and consolation. Spicy orange chicken, never had it from the nearby joint that delivers to my new apt yet.

Sigh, I used to work next to a hole in the wall Chinese joint that

- was willing to make spicy orange fried _beef_, which done right is a thing of wonder and boy did they do it right
- made some of the best BBQ ribs I’ve ever had (Asian style, not Tx style, which you could get up the block for I guess DIY fusion ribs, some assembly required)
- is called Wang’s and come on, how could you not patronize them? 😃

Still rubbing my hands gleefully like a cartoon miser over my Amazon cart, plotting which things I shall move to cart. Have settled for ordering the fun multicolor striped earmuffs, even though finally getting them will probably means they show up a day after the last cold snap and we get no more cold weather this winter. Which I guess could be considered a good thing.
