I have a good "holy crap" and a bad "holy crap." First the good one. Jumble Mash was kind enough to follow me today. Yay! That's my first follower who isn't a friend or family member, so I am psyched! Please check her out. I'm sure she'll be overwhelmed by the masses that will come from my blog at this point.
Maybe this means others will follow me now. Geez, I hope so. I feel like I'm talking to myself here, people. And yes, I do that all of the time anyway. But now Jumble Mash is my new BFF. No, wait! Don't leave. I'm just saying... I'm tickled you are here is all.
Now for the bad one. I went to George's Truck Stop near the plant to get lunch today. I've gotten lunch there before, and the food is pretty good if you like southern fried cholesterol in a styrofoam box. Sometimes we need those carbs and fat grams though, am I right? Well, today I wanted to order something different so I asked for their chicken sandwich. I get back to the office, bite into it, and am stopped suddenly.
Do you see that ginormous bone? Yes, what you are seeing is a regular chicken wing and leg slapped onto a piece of bread. I'm sorry I ordered a what now? A chicken sandwich! I don't know about you, but my sandwiches don't generally have bones in them. I realize I am not used to every southern custom even though I've lived here most of my life, but how the hell do you each a sandwich like that? I know this isn't Chick-Fil-A, but work with me people.
On another note, I am glad it's Friday! I am tired and need to sleep at least until the sun comes up, for God's sake. I was just about to get my hopes up thinking I didn't have anything to do this weekend when it hit me I have to go to my great-niece's birthday party tomorrow. They live about 45 minutes from me. Well, Saturday is shot, but I'll be glad to see the kids and the rest of the family anyway.

Ok I had a number of reactions to this post so I'll start with the first one.
1. Awwwww, how sweet of you! I'm totally glad we are BFF's. I really like your blog, so I'm glad you found me...and then I found you...and now we follow each other :)
2. I freakin' busted out laughing at your chicken sandwich. No joke. That is just incredibly.....dumb. Wow. Just wow.
3. You reminded me of everything I have to do this weekend. Thanks :)
I'm so glad I didn't scare you off! :) And I'm especially glad I made you laugh, even if I could have broken a tooth doing it. That was just the craziest thing I have ever seen, food-wise. I guess I'm becoming a true blogger because the first thing I thought of was that I had to share it.
I think there's a southern version of a blessing prayer said at mealtime that goes something like, "Eat the mean, damn the skin, just open your mouth and cram it in". Maybe it should also say to "spit out the bones if found within". :-)
I'm here too now, sorry I'm late. You should have given me a kick to come over and check you out. Looking forward to reading more. :)
Awww, thanks Mynx! I'm so happy to see you here! I hope I can entertain you a bit on occasion.
@Don.. Thanks for stopping by my little slice of the world. I think that line needs to be added. LOL
