My sister is going on a day trip to Ottawa today. I wanted to go with her, but I have too much stuff to do here at home and I have to try to save money anyway.
I have to work on crafts and practice the clarinet, etc.
It’s above freezing - a whopping 36°. I emptied yesterday’s dishes from the dishwasher and I’ve got some poke in the slow cooker for pulled poke sammiches for supper.
Other chores to do, but gotta pace myself, right? 
Good morning, everyone.
It’s not that cold here yet, thankfully…but then again, it’s Arizona. Sometimes I find myself WISHING it would rain or snow.
Hope you have a good time at the rehearsal, dogbutler.
I forgot to mention last night that one of the tapas dishes we had was something involving brussels sprouts and various other things. Oldest Sister and Friend were raving about it afterwards. I, meanwhile, had come to a realization:
**swampy **is right. There is nothing you can do to brussels sprouts that makes them taste good.
Up with okra! Down with fartblossoms!
Incidentally, Happy Birthday, Thoughtless!!!
Even Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) likes them slice in half and cooked with bacon.
Spaz, do be careful of praising Swampy. He will get the big head.
It’s Ok Rosie, I went back to bed for a nap, the blurf levels had gone down by then
Got pittance, went fud shopping, prob’ly it for excitement today. Still exceedingly dopey.
See! Spaz agrees with me. Fart blossoms are the veggie from Satan’s garden!
OYKW has gone to pick up pizza for N.O.L. after he drops off a turkey and some other stuff we got for a Turkey Day basket over to the church house. Baskets will be assembled and delivered tomorrow by the yoot. I have been ironin’ shirts and have more to iron, but for now it’s break time.
And now this…
<AHEM> CLEARIN’ THROAT <AHEM>

Happy Thoughtless Day!
How is today not like all other days?
-The obnoxious son.
Haha, thank ya.
I’m going to have my favorite food for dinner…hot wings.
54, cloudy, wind around 19mph. Working closing shift again. Not that enthused, since customers have had a collective case of the crabbies lately.
Off to work. Hopefully I can avoid a pet Thunderdome while I’m at work.
Happy Bithday Thoughtless!!!
Perfect Brussels sprout recipe:
Take one pound of Brussels Sprouts. Feed into garbage disposal. Fry and consume 1 lbs of bacon. Serves 1.
De gustibus non est disputandum.
Happy Birthday, jackbooted one.
Since we have an actual invite for dinner on Thursday, and we intend to accept, today is all the pre-work for us cooking our own [Swedish Chef]roast torrrkey [/Swedish Chef] dinner for tomorrow.
Illegitium noncarborundum. 
Gonna chase it down with some [del]Vicks Formula 44[/del] Jagermeister? 
doggio that the first fart blossoms recipe I’ve seen thatmakes sense!
Et tu Brutus.
Happy birthday, Thoughtless!
I like fart blossoms, but not okra- at least, I’ve never come across a recipe I liked it in.
Sadly, my fart blossom plants got trashed by pigeons when they were little this year, so the household natural gas supplies may be limited for the winter.
ETA: Oh, and Happy Birthday Thoughtless!
