Will I Still Be Friends With LawDog?

As you can tell from the title of this post, I have a dilemma.

Through no conscious effort I find myself becoming The Most Powerful Woman in the Universe. I consider LawDog a friend. We agree on most important issues. However, with his plans for World Domination with his Legions of Flying Monkeys...you can see where this could lead to conflict, can't you?



At first, I thought my power was just a fluke. I'd be approaching a red light and wish it would turn green. Before I could decelerate, it'd be green. About 3 weeks ago, the Dearly Beloved and I had Kroger Private Selection Crab Cakes [our favorite mass market brand] and broiled scallops for dinner. The next week I was at Kroger. I had bought some chicken on sale, a roast at a GREAT price, and some pork ribs at a steal. As I was approaching the seafood aisle, I thought, "I wish those crab cakes were on sale, 'cause I sure would like to have them again soon." Now I knew, realistically, this was NOT gonna happen. Those crab cakes are NEVER on sale. I turn the corner and what's the first thing I see in the case? Kroger Priv. Select'n. Crab Cakes at 50 cents off a box! OK, fine!

Wednesday night, after our fine dinner at KFC in Vicksburg, I'm soakin' in a nice hot tub. I say to the Dearly Beloved, "I would KILL for a Jacuzzi right now." Flash forward to Thursday night, 9:20 . We're checkin' in to the Best Western in Augusta. We're a day earlier than the reservations DB made, so I'm asking the clerk if she has a smokin', ground floor room with a King bed. She looks at me with a sad face, "No,Ma'am. All our smoking rooms are on the 3rd floor and are two doubles." I return her sad face. "BUT, we have a Jacuzzi room on this floor and it's a smoking room. It has a King bed." "OOOOHHHH?" I draw it out in a lilting tone meant to express interest and a question all at the same time. She let us have the more expensive Jacuzzi room at the same rate we were going to pay for a room we would have had to take an elevator to get to!

I have but to wish for something and it is made manifest. So I repeat myself, I am becoming THE MOST POWERFUL WOMAN in the UNIVERSE. I don't think it will be necessary for LawDog and I to terminate our friendship when he begins to implement his World Domination plans. I believe we can peacefully coexist. I have no desire [at this time] to interfere with his plans, as I know them to be.

Hittin' the Road

Yeppers, I'm leavin' town, yet again. Gonna go up to Kansas City, MO for almost a full week. We leave tomorrow afternoon and drive 'til we get tired. Then we'll find a comfy, clean lookin' place to spend the night and finish the trip in on Wednesday the 4th. Let the FIREWORKS begin!
Assuming Flo doesn't hide my keys, I'll be back next Monday. The good news for y'all is that I think I can talk her into some cooperative bloggin' while I'm up there. So keep tunin' in startin' on Thursday, both here and over on Flyin' Flo's Forum.
Fun Times!
