the missing cookbook...

Inquiring GRITS wanted to know... so I thought and thought and thought...and I finally figured out where the missing cookbook went...

Aliens took it....

No, my dog ate it...

Not the big one... the little one... Minnie, that little four-pounds soaking wet dollbaby... yeah, that’s it... Minnie ate it... okay... gotta write this down so they’ll know... ouch!!!! stubbed my toe again... well, phooey... okay... roll the chair back... get situated... pull the keyboard tray out where I can reach it... lean wayyyyyy forward and start typing... hit the print key... turn toward the printer... ouch!!!! banged my knee... wipe away the tears... back up... lean wayyyyyy foward to retrieve my paper from the printer... ohhhhhhhhh, my aching back... roll back... turn to my desk... ouch!!!!! hit my ankle... uh, oh... the phone is ringing... turn... slide over... ouch!!!! banged my shin again... reach wayyyyyyyyyyy across for the phone... turn to grab a pen... ouch!!!!! there goes my toe again... and I suddenly realize why I’ve been covered in bruises for months... and why I can never, ever, ever get my legs and feet under my desk... it’s the missing cookbook... in pieces and chapters... in illustrations and photos... in boxes... under my desk... waiting to be finished and put together....

The truth isn’t nearly so entertaining as say... aliens took it... or my little bitty dog ate it...
