I'm thinking the teachers at Linnie's school are going to get rolls from Safeway for their "Staff Appreciation Lunch" tomorrow. They will also get a stick of butter on a paper plate instead of little acorn or cornucopia shaped pats of butter. Oh boy! 4 more days of cooking to go! Woohoo!

Originally Posted By melekalikimaka Oh, I hurt my neck last night too, Pixie. I woke up with a major migraine. It feels like a spike going through my eye. It was fun to buy all of my Thanksgiving groceries in such a state. I'm glad it was so cold outside or I might have gotten ill in the parking lot. Good times. ;-) And to top it all off, when I dropped off the Safeway rolls, there were 2 other bags of rolls and 2 loaves of bread. Geez.

On a less whiny note, it was great to catch up with all the girls on the hen weekend, and I did win money at the races, so it aint all bad lol!
Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter (in her best Eeyore voice) Well, at least you have rolls. And a car. ;-) Ooooo, this could be fun. We could have a Whiny-Butt Crybaby competition. If there's a doubles category, I bet you and I could sweep that sucker, mele.
