Howdy from da cave! Irk is over for the day. ā€˜Tis a dreary day so Iā€™m glad to be in my warm, dry abode. I have turkey innards on to boil. OYKW is swipinā€™ The Generalā€™s dindin. Life is good. ---

This can not end well. DH was called in to work tonight, so thereā€™s been a schedule upheaval and I will have to go to the grocery store tonight. Not looking forward to doing hand-to-hand combat with the Housewives of Contra Costa County to get the last bag of cranberries. ---

Sounds like **swampy** ā€™s DQ thinks the rhinestones in his tiara are actually diamonds. Iā€™ve run across a few of those. **{{{Midget}}}** Fried apples 'n onions is so much better with potatoes. ---

It is indeed time to crochet. Iā€™m making [scarves](http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/74/25/8a/74258a40339053f0b8e8675c26cfe7bf.jpg)for my sisters. Iā€™m learning a new stitch and crocheting two skeins at the same time. 'Tis a tad befuddling, but I think Iā€™m figuring it out. The executive housekeeper at irk lost her hat the other day. Iā€™m going to make her one like my spiral beret to replace it when Iā€™m done with the scarves. ---

OK round one of cookinā€™ is over and everything is cooled down and in da fridge. 'Tis still dreary and rainy out. Glad to be in my nice warm cave. **gotti** this is why I buy the stuff in the can. Always plenty of it on the shelves, and I get to hear that _schwump_ sound when it slides outta da can. Have fun with the housewives of Contra Costa County! Also, it would appear DQ (the tiara wearinā€™ one as opposed to to the bovine one)has given up. OK, most everyone has him on ignore, but JDD Partner called to report that the two who did not put him on ignore have heard nuttinā€™ from him this eveninā€™. I reckon he got the hint. Really. He is not a friend. He has all kinds of family around here. Mayhaps he has poed 'em all. Again. Let him eat a [Banquet Frozen Turkey Meal](https://www.google.com/search?q=banquet+frozen+turkey+dinner&biw=1280&bih=888&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=nCN1VPWGC4mkNsTJgIAL&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=DqEr-atx_tZx_M%253A%3BqPTm_3jbf_9ILM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fheateatreview.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2006%252F06%252FBanquetTurkeyMeal.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.sodahead.com%252Fliving%252Fdo-you-buy-tv-dinners-and-what-are-your-favorite-kinds%252Fquestion-2163471%252F%3B224%3B261) I say.
