Biscuits, Gravy, And Hickeys

I knew that blog title would get your attention. You’re just as twisted and sick as I am, aren’t you? That’s why we’re friends. 😊 But before you get to thinking I had a tryst with a waitress named Flo in some greasy spoon cafe, let me explain.

The previous owners of our house are hunters, and while I don’t hunt anymore, I do enjoy venison. So Justin left me several packs of meat, including some sausage that Miss Terry just got around to thawing out yesterday. She used it to make delicious biscuits and sausage gravy for dinner. And trust me, no greasy spoon cafe ever put out the kind of food that Terry does. And no waitress named Flo or anything else could hold a candle to her, either.

Okay, now you know where part of the blog title came from, and it wasn’t a waitress named Flo. But it was a cute little gal who inflicted these on me yesterday. After spending much of the afternoon writing, I took a break, and Alli and I were wrestling around on the floor, playing tug of war with one of her toys. In the process, she managed to nip her toy, pinching me on the arm a couple of times. It wasn’t intentional, just the cost of roughhousing with an animal with a mouthful of teeth that would put a jackal to shame.

So there you have it. My life is not nearly as tawdry as you thought it was, or maybe I hoped it was, but I’m not telling! Either way, at least I eat well. 😊

Thought For The Day – Facebook is a lot like jail. You sit around wasting time writing on the walls and get poked by people you don’t know
