All shook up
On Sat, 17 Dec 2005 19:34:32 -0600, Mark Edwards
yodeled: I must remember not to let myself be distracted by all the loving and attentive cats who are attempting to help me in the kitchen. I chop up the lettuce and shred the cheese for tacos. I set aside a couple of bowls of lettuce for salads. I set the salad dressing, the picante sauce, the eggnog (I want to sample some, since it is once again available), and the quart of root beer. Note that one of these things is not like the others. I am petting and sweet-talking the cats while I do all this. Little Feet and Dulce Mae, in fact, are on the counter. I shake up the dressing, pop the lid off and pour some dressing on the salads. I shake up the eggnog, pop the lid off, and pour a little into a cup. Yummy! I shake up the picante sauce, pop the lid off, and set it aside for the tacos. I bet you see what's coming. Not thinking, not even a little bit, I just let the routine take control. I grab the quart of root beer, shake it up, pop the lid off... ...and spray Little Feet, Dulce Mae, myself, and half the kitchen with IBC root beer. As my badly rendered refrain of Elvis Presley's "All Shook Up" stops cold. I somehow managed NOT to drench the lettuce or the cheese, the taco meat was in the microwave, and the shells were still warming in the oven. The tacos were delicious. The salad tasted like root beer. Little Feet and Dulce Mae, however, have decided not to distract me for awhile. In fact, I think I hear a few cuss words (and maybe a few well-laid plans for the middle of the night?) from the back room. I think I had better try to console them RIGHT NOW, before they get too far into their revenge (big grin). Hugs and Purrs, Mark That cries out for video.
