I made amazing fried chicken tonight in our new deep fryer. (OMG teh fattening!) And then we used it to make home-made snack wraps like you get at McDonald’s. lol. It was very tasty.

And I’ve discovered how good the grilled chicken tenders are at work. HO-LEE COW. Awesome. lol. If you’re ever at Cracker Barrel, impress them and say “I’d like the grilled tender dinner with HBR (Hashbrown casserole) dumplin’s, and corn.” Best dinner ever. Biscuits, never corn muffins, with butter and blackberry jam. You’ll thank me when you’re done eating it. lol.

Caity’s wedding went so well! I didn’t fall, neither did she. I think I was almost as nervous as she was. The minister couldn’t pronounce Sebert’s name, so every time he got to a part in the ceremony when he had to say it, he just sort of mumbled. It was really funny. And when it was time for pictures, Sebert grabbed her all up in his arms, like the guys in the movie carrying the bride over the threshold… and then he dropped her and fell on top of her. Funniest thing I have EVER seen. I was the greatest bridesmaid ever and caught the bouquet, after I thought it was going to rip the icicle lights off the ceiling. lol. And I’m next anyway, so it’s all good. (Though, as far as tradition goes, I’d have to marry Caity’s cousin, Brandon, instead of my Branden, since he caught the garter. lol.)

Expect some pictures soon, after I get them all edited for her, I’ll upload them to my Flickr. And now I’m going to go get ready for the movies. We’re going to see Sweeney Todd. YAY!
