Chickens in the Basement

I love to write and I love to laugh. When I write, I get to the point quick. My stories would fit on the back of a postcard. They usually make me chuckle. And you know what they say, "It's all about me!"

Yummy! The Fed Ex Guy is Here

My husband, the e-bay junkie, has so many deliveries from Fed Ex and UPS, I feel like I should fix lunch (or at least coffee) for these guys that ring my doorbell every day! The UPS guy even brings puppy treats for Riley Dog and checks the truck before driving off to make sure he doesn't have extra furry packages!

This morning, I heard a truck in the driveway. Riley and I went to the door to greet the guy. Apparently, he's new. When he saw us standing in the door, he turned around and did that butt- clench-fast-walked back to his truck! I squeezed through the door leaving a sad Riley Dog inside and promised Mr. Fed Ex that Riley is a very friendly dog. He all but threw the box at me and jumped back in the truck. I bet he left SKEEECH marks in my driveway!

Who knew "Fed Ex" was Klingon for "Big Chicken!"

No lingering tell-tale odors wafted from his speedy retreat!
