black sesame muff’s.

I was on the phone with the hub last night when he asked me, “Did you have something to drink tonight?”.  I hadn’t, I asked him why, and his response was “…because you’re really funny.”  Thanks.

He then emailed me some sort of apology, not in regards to the offensive comment, but for not getting us enough fried chicken in New York.  “It’s all my faulk“, he says.  (Stop typing about football for once…sigh.)

Anyway, I can’t wait to see him and McFarland in…3 days!  In the mean time, I’m baking for my diabetic grandfather who needs some major cheering up…
