Still working on choosing names, My husband is stalking me

I know, I know, I'm way behind on posting pictures and still haven't named the chickens.

Thanks for all the name suggestions, here and on FB.  Quite a few are under consideration.  It needs to be a family decision and Phil is too busy to be bothered with picking names right now.  Phil can be rude sometimes.  He doesn't understand ya'll are on the edge of your seats waiting to find out the names we pick. I understand though because I care about all of YOU.   In the meantime I'm still running around calling the chickens "hey".

Phil has also realized recently that he is occasionally mentioned on the blog here.

This is not exactly a good thing.

Now he's actively trying to get a blog mention.  Its almost like he's auditioning.

His "auditions" include creating imaginary fights than bellowing "blog that one"

Let's see, he also created a really big pile of laundry and named it.  Ummm, how original babe.  Already blogged that but thanks for the "new" material. And thanks for the extra day of having to do laundry. really.

There's more.  I won't embarrass him further.

Oh man, I hope I didn't just encourage him further.

Or tick him off.  He's already got me sleeping with one eye open. Ever since last week when I told him I was feeling depressed and he replied by telling me "depression hurts. depression hurts everybody." I punched him so he could feel the hurt of my depression and told him he was lucky I hadn't stabbed him.  30 minutes later he's in the kitchen sharpening his knives.  He says he was sharpening them in preparation for hunting season.  Really?  Oh yeah, I'm sure that timing was all just coincidence.

Just to be safe here's a picture of him being nice.


On a positive note all four chickens are now laying eggs.  That means we get about two dozen eggs a week. I will never have to pay for eggs again.

this just happened

Dinner time.

I didn't plan ahead.  Need to call my husband for a consult.

(our slightly paraphrased conversation)


me:  On a scale of 1 to 10, how do you feel about chicken taquitos for dinner? You know those appetizers that have been in the freezer for a while.


Phil:  Uhhhh, 7.


me:  Sweet!  I had no idea what to make; glad you're ok with it.


Phil:  Wait, 7 is not ok with it. Seven is above five.


me:  Fine. On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 means 'absolutely not okay' and 10 means 'cool', how do you feel about taquitos for dinner?


Phil:  3.


me:  Are you giving me a 3 just so I don't spiral in to an irreversible state of depression?


Phil: yes.

This really does not belong on my blog.  Perhaps my ultra cool friend Jenny will ask me to do a guest post about it on her dinner related blog at http://www.whatididfordinnerlastnight.blogspot.com/.

Probably not.

This blog is a place for pictures.

So I give you this picture.

For those of you who've seen this picture on Facebook, I apologize for the repetitiveness but these birds have got me paranoid.
