obsession: MD's Southern Style Chicken!

okay. normally mickey d's equals gross to me. but i recently tried their Southern Style Chicken Biscuit and i sorta fell in love. not good for my badunkadunk, but good nonetheless.

this post is going to be short, due to my embarrassment on posting about a mcdonald's sandwich and my lack of knowledge on the subject (besides it being yummy) but something about its juicy, crispy, slightly pickle flavored goodness makes it worth of a mandy post. the pickle flavor could throw you off... i don't think its supposed to be "flavored" by anything. remember i tried the biscuit first, and later the sandwich. the sandwich comes plain with only pickle and the biscuit is totally plain. but the biscuit chicken has the faintest taste of, i don't know, dill? it's good. i know the pickle thing, and the "southern style" thing is a direct bite off chickfila but let me say... this sandwich is better than anything that chickfila has ever thought of having on their menu. and bigger! and i love chickfila! so enough about the stupid sandwich, but if you ever find yourself unlucky enough to be in the mcdonalds drive through, especially before 10:30 am... eat up and smile.

obsession: OWLS!

"i hate all birds of the night."
i said that once. its actually bats i don't care for, not all birds of the night. i think owls are pretty cool. last year i decided owl "stuff" was something i wanted to collect. it stemmed from my librarian mother trying to send me home with an odd painted metal owl that was left to the library by one of its patrons after he passed away. they don't really have room for it in the library anymore but my mom wanted to give it to someone that would take care of it, as this patron was someone important to the ahoskie library and its community. i haven't found the perfect place for him yet (he is kinda big) but he did spark an overnight owl obsession in me. i wish i had a picture of him to post, but maybe once richard and i get through with our spring cleaning and re-arranging of our home i can bring him here and take one. until then, here are some other items that i have collected since then and some "owl inspiration" for you..
