"I can’t get enough shrimp"

You and Marissa. I think she would eat shrimp every night.

She was diappointed last time we went to Red Lobster.
She insisted on popcorn shrimp and it wasn't what she expected.
Next time we go I think I will order for her.

Hello Kitty.....what a precious kitten dressed in red...just darling. We are having a cold spurt and may have frost tonight. I have too much to cover up so I will just hope they don’t get hurt!

My hummingbirds have been here a little while now but the weather surely has them mixed up! I can’t complain after what happened in Virginia yesterday with those tornadoes! Just a horrible looking picture of that storm and yet, no one was killed the last I heard! Hope your day has been nice, Kitty!

[JustAmy]

LOL

Thanks for the recipe, OESY.

[jaycee]

Hilarious.....that pic of Clinton’s face would be worth keeping to throw darts at.......I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if there was a drink called that! Is there really? There are so many drinks with drop dead names now!
