Lucky you. My little bitty is almost 25, and has a thicker beard than I do. Cuddling with him is outta the question now, but 20 years ago, oh yeaā¦

Iām not looking forward to Christmas. I donāt even know if weāll put up a Christmas tree this year, or if anyone will give anyone else any presents. Ever since my mother ran away last week, never to come back, my dad and sister and I just havenāt felt like doing much.

I like about 9-10am. Iām awake enough not to be groggy and it represents the potentiality of the whole day.

[Death Chicken](http://mumpersrecipes.blogspot.com/2008/09/death-chicken.html) is the casserole you take to a family in mourning after a death. And since itās made with bacon, itās kinda fattyā¦ š
We had ravioli for supper. Iām now going to knit some dishcloths for my mom because she asked for a couple and Iām nice like that! Off to assume the knit positionā¦

What **MOOOOOOM** said re death chikin. It appears to have originated amongst church ladies which natch makes it a most saintly and nummy thing to eat. š

Made it to Louisiana. Finally. I am starving and while I donāt really want to eat in the hotel I really really really do not want to get back in the truck after a 6 1/2 hour drive to try and find somewhere to eat. On the plus side they have alcohol here. š
Sorry about the job situation **apes**.

Casseroles are much more comforting than salad or some ānouvelle cuisineā art piece that maybe has three bites of actual food. š

I was thinking the same thingā¦off I go and find that they have revamped the menu here and there are no sammiches/burgers and only a couple of mains. I had potato skins and a side of asparagus. A lot of people around me were have popcorn shrimp and a sideā¦but sending the shrimp back as it was off. I think I picked wisely. But now I am starving again. First world problems and allā¦
Must sleep big supplier meeting tomorrow.
