Daddy’s birthday!
Today is my daddy’s birthday. He’s turning 55. Still a kid at heart, this man has been through a lot, giving him enough experience to be wise and knowledgeable beyond his age. His body aches, but his spirit still manages to push him forward through every day, unstoppable.
True he can be a grouch sometimes, but it’s only to be expected.
This year we got him a looper. For those of you who don’t know, a looper is a machine that allows one musician, or a few of them depending on what you’re going for, to play a section of music, hit a pedal, and it will playback the section it recorded, while at the same time, recording another track on top of it, so on and so fourth.
Just using your voice as sound effects with the looper can turn out hillarious tracks. Just the other night it sounded like there was a rainforest in my basement!
I’ll be taking him and mama to DQ in a little bit so we can get ice cream.
It’s nothing much for a birthday, but we are spending time together and in the end, that’s all that matters. I love you daddy! Happy birthday!

Oh, What A Beautiful Sandwich.
Usually I’m just hungry enough when I get off of work for a snack. Today was the exception. I get home and my stomach is as wild as a feral box with a major need to be filled with something, anything.
Last night there was a box half full of pizza in the fridge and I was just praying for a slice to be awaiting my arival tonight. To no avail, I get home and no gummy Hawaiian pizza was left.
I raided the cupboards finding a few cans of refined beans and canned oysters, a few slices of bread…
I was drawn to the fridge again and tugged open the meat drawer and my ears errupted with a chorus of angels as I fell in love with what I saw.
A bag full of brawnschwager.
Quickly, I grabbed the mayo, the schwager, and the slices of bread from the cupboard and assembled a grand sandwich.
It’s an aquired taste, but if you’re a Donnelly, a true one, you can sit there eating it plain forever.
It was the best thing I’ve tasted in a very long time.
It ranks up there with Wasabi’s Sushi with me. A delacacy of unknown splendor.
I can sleep happily tonight.
<3,
Xoxo!
