I could kick myself in the rear from here to the Mason Dixon.......I NEVER (no never) buy anything already made and mixed and especially from a certain "big box" store.........well, guess what? I did just that very [stupid] thing.

Y'all know I told you how proud I was to eat my "2007 black eyed peas" the other day....?

What I failed to mention was that my peas had been preceded the evening before by a lovely heaping helping of none other than store bought, prepared seafood salad.......

Seafood salad that was..............

Tainted?

or Spoiled?

or Rotten?

I'll go with rotten because that is how I have felt when I lost the 2007 peas I ate.....for days....

and days...

...try all this week.

If the U.S. really wants to win the war in Iraq, put down those weapons, put on a gracious Southern pageant smile and serve Al Quaida some seafood salad on a Saltine, or better yet, a Ritz...........Honey, they'll be droppin' like flies.

Great day in the morning!

I have been green around the gills all week until finally yesterday the alien abductees returned my stomach to its proper place.  Though I must say, I remain a bit gun shy when I look at food and my coffee still doesn't taste right; talk about an abrupt New Year's diet plan.  Surely, I'll be back to my normal closet eating habits by next Wednesday..... y'all think?

Think somebody was trying to tell me something? or somebody's "body" (like - mine...)?

As in - don't buy and eat prepared seafood salad............ever again?  Something I already knew better than to do but had a weak moment......you know, that person who writes here and tells things like, "I'm giving up sugar and converting to honey and eating fresh vegies we grow in our garden..."  However, she failed to mention that she secretly gorges on chocolate candy during the 12 days of Christmas and buys and eats rotten prepared seafood salad......

Oh, the shame of it all.

Sniff, sniff.....please accept my confessions herein.....sniff.
