Running from the Chicken Truck and a Little Pick Me Up!

Okay so you must be wondering about the chicken truck. I was totally disturbed this morning on my way to work. I was driving on the freeway, minding my own business, even humming with the music on the radio when this huge, huge truck drove up alongside my car. I nonchalantly glanced over and almost screamed in horror! The truck was hauling what looked like tons and tons of live or tranquilized chickens!! I mean why do they have to have this all out in the open for us to see. I know, I know..I do eat chicken but I don't need to see these poor things on their way to execution, if they weren't already dead! I couldn't tell. I stepped on my accelerator and tried to speed ahead because I'm one of those that HAS to look even though I shouldn't! Ugh. Then it became this whole paranoid situation..I'm driving fast, looking in my rear view mirror for this truck and he comes alongside me again...I step on it....he steps on it (okay maybe that was my imagination) and I'm driving in terror all the way to work trying to get away from this truck. I mean seriously, can you hear the theme to The Wicked Witch as she's flying alongside Dorothy's uprooted house on her wicked bike?! That's how I felt! Lol! Everytime I looked at the truck driver I swear his faced morphed into the Wicked Witch laughing hysterically! I finally dodged the truck but I couldn't get it out of my mind. So the last couple of days I couldn't eat meat. Well, I happen to eat tofu yesterday but after seeing that today I could only eat my black bean and cheese burrito. This is usually what happens when I go on a meat break. I've typically been traumatized by seeing something I didn't want to see. My mom tried to make me feel better by saying, "Honey, those were all diseased chickens that just died..and they were transporting them to the funeral home.". Thanks mom..you're always there for me. LOL!

After work I swung by Joann's Fabrics because sis' got some adorable "farm" signs for her kitchen. Like any little sister would do I wanted to copy! Lol! Well, lucky for her they didn't have the same ones BUT they had these adorable tin signs for $3.00 each!

And this tablecloth matched! Only $3.00!

Nothing has changed much with Mocha. She's still eating tons. She even wanted some of my black bean and cheese burrito (okay, healthy...from Baja Fresh). Mom had to say no to that. Here she is doing her favorite thing...kneading and purrrrring. :) Thank you all for caring so much and saying a little prayer for us. :)


I didn't get to make my cookies tonight because my girlfriend was in the hospital. She had surgery today and I wanted to be there with her. :) Don't fret! I'm still craving them so they WILL be made this week. :)
