Mmm, NOOKS AND CRANNIES

I have a new food craving today. English muffins. Not just any muffin, it has to be the 'T' brand. I guess it started while in the hospital. They served me breakfast (I use the term loosely) one morning and the sight of the muffin made my mouth water. Imagine my disappointment when I realized that not only was the muffin an 'unbrand', but it wasn't the least bit toasted and the yellow spread they called butter didn't even melt.

Yesterday evening the Squirrel called and asked me if I needed anything from the store? I told her 'T' brand english muffins and a can of german chocolate icing. Excitingly she asked, "What are you going to make with that?" "Nothing, I'm just going to eat it out of the container because I want something sweet." She sighed and said she would be a couple of hours.

She show's up, groceries in hand. She takes excellent care of me. I found out yesterday I didn't have enough sodium in my system and they gave me a list of foods to eat including coffee, tea, and soda. My blood levels are good, but my kidney and liver numbers are back up.

TV sucks bigtime and I find myself watching the food channel, although some of the show's they air shouldn't even have a spot. I mean, you don't need a tv show to teach you how to open a box, make tuna helper, add a can of peas, and call it semi homemade. GEEZ! I want more Rachel!!!

So there I was, lying in bed at midnight watching food being prepared. I got up out of bed and started toasting english muffins. Mmm, butter and jam melted in the nooks and crannies. I caught myself moaning at how good they tasted. Somethings are simply better then sex. Of course I haven't been having sex so food is a very close second.

This morning I awoke to the phone ringing. I am really hating the phone because I have to get up and walk across the room to answer it. It was my boss. He sounded pumped up and said, "Hi sweetpea, how are you doing?" "I was asleep." I growled. He said "I am e mailing you a form. Since you were admitted to the hospital they have to pay you at %100. Just have your doctor sign it and I'll come pick it up for you." "Thanks for looking out for me." " Anytime sweetpea. I just want you to get everything you have coming."

I'm going to go snack now. Peace.

100% is very good news! That's a load off.

English muffins DO sound tasty! I have to go to the market today. I might pick some up too.

If you get the muffins you must have butter and jam. The 2 together melt in the nooks and crannies and make everything seem good.

I just got back from the speedway where I purchased a giant sized pepsi icee. Mmmm good.

Suddeny - I feel like some English muffins myself - with copious amounts of melted butter and some apple butter instead of jelly.

Did someone say nookie?

OK, all well and good but how could you RUIN a perfectly good english muffin with JELLY? Yuck. I mean I like jelly on bread but an english muffin just needs lots of butter. Yummy.

Congrats on the pay. I have enough vacation time amassed that I could take off until some time in February or March and get full pay. If only I could get some time off. It sure is going to be hard to go back to work after all the time off.

Now you have me thinking about checking if I have any English muffins left. I turned the phone off in my bedroom months ago. Life is much simpler now.
