OBVIOUSLY I have been neglecting my blog...I'm sure that I'm not the only one that does that. With the exception of a few, most folks start one of these things, and then just forget about it. I mean, "blog" is such an ugly word. Why can't these things be called something more enticing...like...winechocs, or sexsuns or moneyfoods??? I mean, BLOG?! Who came up with that?...some man, I'm sure....matter of fact, this is the dude...looked it up later...was I right? or WHAT?


At any rate, it's been a long, stressful 3 weeks or so here in Tigg Land. Sadly, my brother lost his battle with colon cancer, and that necessitated a trip down to Houston. Honestly, I dreaded the trip. I am EXTREMELY claustrophobic. I don't do well on airplanes...kind of like someone is putting a piece of Saran Wrap across my face. The flying part doesn't bother me...but all those people in that small space...MY SPACE...freaks me out. Many years ago a nurse friend of my told me to take a Benadryl and a bottle of frozen water. Well, that worked GREAT until something called "9/11"....GREAT... At any rate, after 8 long years, I HAD to bite the bullet and get on the plane...Benadryl, all cut into halves (1 1/2 does the 3 1/2 non-stop flight)...ICE from the terminal kiosks...Lisa is ALL SET. Anyway, the flight turned out well (partly thanks to that lady sitting beside me praying during take off and landing!), and now I'm planning my "Annual Trip to Houston" event...the 3rd week of April...each year...if the funds are there...and I feel like it....and there's no halt on Benadryl manufacturing.


So, whirling is back....planted a multitude of containers this evening...small or large, it's still the same pain....I looked like a damn street woman when I was done...dirt under my nails, sweaty and some MAJOR ugly hair....that's why I treated myself to a pantry margarita for a snack, and then a ribeye, salad and some cabernet. I love cooking with herbs and having them around makes me pretty happy. I used to have to tend an acre or two, so 7 pots shouldn't be that big of a problem...I'll post my mini herb garden tomorrow.

Posted some Tom Jones videos on Facebook...don't care what anyone says, that man was hot back in the day....why, why, why Delilah? lol!
