Besides Bear Stew...
Baking a ham, jambalaya, meatballs, chips dip and a king cake
Wear your black and gold..
I think I need to come to THIS party! We're from Mississippi(before moving to Denver), so you know we're praying for the Saints here. The jambalaya and king cake in particular sound like home.
We went out to eat good food last night--Alabama bar-b-que! YUMMY!

I had 2 glasses of sweet tea, and I was up until 2 am!

Finally took some Tylenol sleeping pills and put down the laptop

(up to page 35 or so).
I think I should get up now, after the dog "checking on me" by jumping on me twice, thinking the bed was empty and she wouldn't get caught! Stinker!
I know you guys have mentioned your puppies... I have an adult Shiba Inu (Japanese hunting dog, very manageable size--about the size of a beagle at 24 pounds.) She has a half-cat, half dog personality; she has the 4:30 crazies and stays clean like a cat, and the bark a LOT if there is someone at the door thing like a dog. AWESOME with my daughter. Oh, and she's smart enough to have moods... Like the, "mom, get out of bed so I can steal it", mood.... Oh, and she looks like a fox. She's an off-color of Red Sesame and black & tan. Once I figure out pictures, I'll post one... She doesn't take a bad picture.
Ok, off to rescue the hubby from the clutches of the toddler AND the dog (*hearing screaming from the basement*)....
*wave* Have a good day! It'll be snowing for the 5th weekend in a row here!
