Dinner, umm, check the dates on the shrimp

Greg was sweet to me tonight and made shrimp fettuccini for dinner.  He made the sauce, cooked the noodles and then added the shrimp.  Sounded so good, then we went to eat it and ICKY the shrimp were so strong it was AWFUL.  He checked the date on the frozen package and whalla, it had expired in 2004.  Think it had been in the freezer for a LONG time.  Sure did take care of the hunger though.  The garbage disposal had a big supper.

I went down and listed some stuff on eBay.  Not a lot, need to do more tomorrow, but just didn't feel like doing it tonight. 

The auctions today were less than beneficial.  Got a few things in Ft. Madison but the buyers of the FEW pieces of decent glassware were nuts, they paid twice what things were worth, even if you were buying them to keep them for yourself.  I got one plate and that was all the glassware.  I got some Tupperware which I have listed (still have a couple things to list, will do that tomorrow.)  The only good thing about going was that I got to see Michelle and Tom.  Michelle cracks me up so it is always good to see her.

I left Ft. Madison and decided that shoot, I am close to Missouri so I will go get my cigarettes rather than having to make a special trip later.  On the way I was listening to NPR and cracking up (can't remember about what now but it was funny) and there were two highway patrol cars in the median.  Yeap, I was speeding and knew I was toast.  But, as one pulled me over he came up and said "I knew you knew I was going to get you when I saw you smiling."  I told him that I was laughing at NPR but yes, I knew I was going too fast.  He gave me a warning and said to have a nice day.  Shoot, how's that for lucky.

Now I'm going to take a hot bath and go to bed.
