He told me about their casseroles, and their Kickin&#8217; Chicken spaghetti sounded incredible. Trouble was, I worked in Horn Lake, and on my rare days off it wasn&#8217;t Kickin&#8217; Chicken day.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I was pacing around the apartment trying to decide what to have for lunch, when I thought, I wonder what the special is at Lisa&#8217;s?

The spaghetti lived up to its reputation, for sure. Delicious! There were a couple of people in front of me in line ordering sandwiches and I watched the people in the kitchen make them. They looked amazing. Up until now I have tended to forget Lisa&#8217;s exists because it&#8217;s off the beaten path on Front Street, but let me tell you, once you eat there, you won&#8217;t forget the place.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow&#8217;s rush hour commute is going to be a mess. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.memphisweather.blog\/2018\/01\/fridays-winter-weather-event-our-first.html\">MemphisWeather.net&#8217;s latest blog post<\/a> has rain moving in today.

Topic yesterday at Bardog: Collective laughter at people who go to the latest hipster restaurant and pay $6 for a piece of avocado toast. I didn&#8217;t get a chance yesterday but I hear Aldo has reorganized the jukebox and I&#8217;m excited to see what new stuff is in there.<\/p>\n<p>All right, time to get this day started. Getting a haircut at Rachel&#8217;s Salon at 11, and am stunned at the fact that I will be going over there in a T-shirt and shorts in January. After that I&#8217;ve got to get a promotional packet out to a potential BBQ team sponsor. By Tuesday I have to have a resume together, and am debating whether the BBQ team should go in the &#8220;Other activities&#8221; section. Yeah it&#8217;s spring break for adults but since becoming Director of Public Relations I have reformed communications for our team. I&#8217;m also a voting board member of the corporation behind the team, and as a former Burger Fest judge my feedback played a part in us winning a recent trophy. Yeah I kind of think it should be on there.<\/p>\n<p>Time to get going.
