Viddles or Vittles?

First of all, I had to change the music.
It was making me sick, that first song. While I still
have a great desire for "hard times" to get away and
"come again no more" to me....I just couldn't take
that song another second.
I'm sorry for putting you
through that, Dear Reader.

And your response is supposed to be,
like Huey Lewis is saying if you are listening,
"It's alright."

Well thank you.
What a lovely Dear Reader you are.

Second, I thought I would tell you
that I am cooking chicken and it is not making me sick.
For most of my pregnancy with Baby J
I could not stand the smell of chicken cooking.
Oh, it was horrible.
You know how things can just make you crazy
when you are pregnant. So I kind of stopped making
anything with chicken in it. And then tonight I am roasting
some chicken quarters in the oven and I started to smell
them as they started to roast and it just occurred to
me that the smell was pleasant to me,
not making me want to throw the dish out in the yard
and leave the house until the smell is gone.
What a nice change.

Third, I have been reading a vampire book.
Just typing that sentence seems silly to me.
I am like the last person in the world who would want
to read a vampire book. Normally that would be the way
to get me to NOT read a particular book,
by telling me that it had vampires in it.
But for some unknown reason,
I am reading a vampire book.
That stupid Twilight book that all the Jr. High girls
in the USA were so into...oh, whenever it came out.
It's kind of old news now. I mean, I am reading
the first book and there are about three books in the
series now and a movie. So I am right on top of things
and totally up to date as I always have been in my life.
Actually, I don't know what got me interested in
reading this book. I really don't. And it's not like
it's great writing. But the story really draws you in.
I've read about half the book today since the kids have
been poorly and school has been scant.
I have a chapter or two left.

Fourth, well, there is no fourth.
I'm done.
I need to go rustle up some additional viddles
to go with our roasting chicken. I am trying to eat out of
our cabinets and freezer as much as possible
right now and it is amazing what you can do
when you put your mind to it. I am surprising myself.
And still making decent meals. Hooray for me.

Later, Dear Reader.
