He is addicted to using baking soda as an antacid. We buy it in 2 pound boxes. A few days ago – he ran out. It was bedtime and he was freaking out because he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to sleep through his heartburn or whatever if he couldn’t have some before bed.

So he peeked in the cabinet where the box stays. Eureka! The previous box had leaked out some during its stay with us!

He scraped it up and picked out whatever grub that was mixed in with it the best that he could. He was so happy. Like a crackhead who found a rock hidden in the couch cushion.

It was just enough to mix up and drink.

Gross. Gross. Gross.

I offered to go to the store and get a new box for him but he declined. He is brave and unafraid of eating termite eggs.

How are you all doing? This weekend has been great! We haven’t done much of anything but I just feel really good for some reason.

Yesterday was the 8th anniversary of the day that Sweety and I met. (He even left a comment on my FaceBook page about it yesterday! I know that was very out of the box for him.) On Friday night he was bowling and on his way home he called and asked if I’d like to meet him at the Waffle House for food. I am not one to turn down the Waffle House’s fantastic hashbrowns so I said yes and sped off to meet him there. Sweety then realized that it was after midnight and our anniversary and he called back to say we should meet at IHOP (since that’s where we had our first date). So I got ready to go to IHOP instead. He called back yet again to say that he was in IHOP’s parking lot and “it just didn’t feel right” so how about going to the Waffle House as originally planned? Okay, fine, whatever. Just feed me now that you’ve mentioned it!

We did end up at the Waffle House and it was so good! If you have one in your area, I would recommend a regular order of hashbrowns with mushroom, jalapenos and cheese. My guts didn’t agree with such a concoction after midnight though and I went home and laid awake til 3 a.m. while my stomach gurgled.

We decided that 8 years from now we’ll pick another place that’s open all night to have a late snack.

You know what I really like about Tiny Dog? Her sense of embarrassment. Can’t you feel it radiating from your screen? I put the ears on her to try them out before taking photos. She ran and hid from me when I brought them out again for a photo session. Finally, she realized that resistance was futile and just sat in whatever position I put her in for the photos.

I told you that he could cram a whole cupcake in his mouth.
