Up early - big surprise, huh? Critters have been tended to, and I’ll be showering soon. We’re going to leave in half an hour or so, stop for breakfast, then head to Cockeysville (seriously, that’s a real place) to check out an aquarium. It’s over 2 hours away. There’s no way we can fit it in the car we’re taking, and it hasn’t been disassembled anyway. Plus if we do decide to get it, I don’t know what to do about paying for it - what’s to stop the seller from selling it to someone else in the interim and pocketing our deposit… decisions, decisions.
Doggio, sounds like you need to stock up on doggie Depends…
It’s nearly Saturday afternoon and I’ve been out of bed for about 2hrs. I is lazy! Actually, I think I’s catching up with sleep instead. Anyway, I am up and showered and the mogs have been fed - they’re both crashed out asleep on the bed with 'im indoors. I guess he has more sleep to catch up on than I do, either that or the bloody marys last night have taken their toll.
Today is going to be errands, one of my friends is coming over later with a load of apples from her garden so I need to think about doing something with those, and tonight we’re off for beerverages in Sedgley. Well, I’m driving so no beerverages for me.
Tomorrow I have to go and buy some new trousers for work, this dieting lark is getting a bit serious and the ones I’ve been wearing are now falling off. So it’s shopping for me! I think I’ll drag 'im indoors with me and insist he buys me lunch somewhere.
Was up early this morning so I ahve doen some chores and ran some errands and I have just been out for a nice walk in the Paris sunshine - lots of people out and about enjoying their Saturday.
I am however very tired now - I guess I am still recuperating from the flu.
Need some lunch then probably a nap. Thus endeth my exciting day
It’s a good thing I’m not in charge of the investigation into who exactly was the retarded (b)rat who thought it would be a neat thing to cause a false fire alarm in my dorm thereabouts of 3:30 éi ém. If I catch the pig (my apologies to porkers), I’ll turn him into sausage. My dorm’s turn for the Safety Talk was last Friday; the penalty for that shite is expulsion from the dorm and the uni. My dorm is right beside the Student Union and the alarm came from a door on that side, so it’s possible whomever dun it doesn’t even live in the dorms.
I think that when the stunt has been pulled at hours like those, expulsion should be preceded by at the very least a dunk into the lake…
I’m up and the coffee is brewing. Mr. Taters is up too, so I don’t get a bit of peace and quiet before facing the day.
We’re going out to dinner tonight with some friends. I am such a social butterfly; I flit here, I flit there, I flit everywhere.
Congrats on the continuing weight loss, BooFae. While it kind of sucks having to spend more money on clothes, it’s an awesome feeling to buy smaller clothes, isn’t it?
Sounds like the Mumper Wet Trout Slapping Brigade needs to make a trip Scotland, Nava.
I just sent out a semi-professional letter to several people that I don’t know and it had a fricking typo in it! :smack::smack::dubious::smack::smack: I used the word interesting instead of interested. Duh. Of course I had cut and pasted the thing at least THREE times before I finally realized that my brain and fingers had not been in agreement. This is my least favorite part of getting older.:rolleyes:
It is a good feeling, especially as I only bought stuff in this size a few months ago so the diet is working really well. The scales told me this morning that I’ve pretty much lost the weight I gained on my NY trip so it’s all good stuff.
I’ve got fat-free goulash cooking for dinner, followed by nearly fat-free fruit crumble for dessert. Tuesday is “taster night” at Fat Club so I’m going to make some rather healthy-looking strawberry cupcakes for that. Currently, I’m feeling quite virtuous. Must remember to polish my halo before I go out tonight!
Nava - 'im indoors is threatening to take a trip back to Scotland to visit his folks, shall I tell him to stop off at your dorms with a few soggy trout?
I vote yes, BooFae. I’m sure Nava would appreciate the extra trout. That sounded like a completely non-fun way to wake up.
Yay for TaterDaughter getting her license!
::Throws snowball at SO:: What? It was in the freezer!
Aquarium hunt sounds interesting, FCM.
Glad you’re feeling better, mmmmmmmmmmmm.
It’s gray and rainy out, so it’s hard to get motivated. I have lots to do indoors, but what I’d like to do is go out for a walk.
I’ve shredded more stuff, knit a few rows, eaten some popcorn (didn’t know what I wanted for lunch, but was really hungry, so I figured that would quiet things down while I contemplated the food. Still not sure what to eat, though. Maybe some salad from last night? And some mandarin oranges, I think.
Dindin tonight is steak, shrimp, sallit and cheesy bread. YUM! I bought some steamed shrimp at the Publix sto’.
snowbunny the woman yelled her cc info in a crowded bar!?!? :eek: I wonder how many unscrupulous people heard that, jotted the number down and went on a spendin’ spree on teh internets. Then again, if it happens, she deserves it. This is in no way a good idea ever. Learn this valuable lesson mumpers.
I’m bakin’ a ham for tomorrow also. I also need to make lots of green sallit for tonight and tomorrow. The menu also includes green beans and company smashed N.O.T.. I’m havin’ some folks over after churchification tomorrow. Dessert is bein’ brought by one of the attendees and whatever it is, it will be yummeriffic cause the woman can bake, y’all!
Plus, bein’ as I am a good Whiskypalian and all, we shall have pre-luncheon Bloody Mary’s.
Ok, I’s gettin’ hongry, so off to start some dindin prep and then get busy on tomorrow’s menu.
FreyaTheBitch has known for a while how to open the back screen door by hitting the handle. She the goes outside and wants to play “Fuck You!” (Want me to come inside, Dad? Fuck you!)
Well, I was working on the bathroom again, and she got out on me twice. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. So I dug out the drill and sundry other tools, and moved the handle from waist height to shoulder level. Hee hee.
Added benefit: not only will this keep Freya in, it will also keep Layne the 7 y.o. wired neighbor kid out.
Home. We had a nice ride to Balto, but the aquarium wasn’t worth the drive. The stand was kinda nasty, the filters and stuff weren’t want **FCD **wanted, and it was set up for fresh water, but he wants salt water. The guy who was selling it told us about Aquarium Depot, so we went there and found the same size tank for less than he was asking. Looks like he’ll just build exactly what he wants from scratch.
Doggies are home and groomed. $121 well-spent. I’m noshing on some kettle corn. Then I’ll knit. A nice mellow day.
I just came across this video one of the local news stations made about our new Priest. In case anyone’s interested, you can see my fat bear ass in blue shirt and white pants right here. There’s a few seconds of a commercial just before the video. In case y’all are car shoppin’, I reckon.
Plus, the story actually makes sense! A definite first for Fox31 news.
BBBobbio we got us a young’un. He’s thirty-one years old! Tell you what though, he’s good. His sermons are good and he’s implementin’ some new gasp that word! gasp ideas that I believe will pay off for ol’ St. Pat’s in the long run.
MOOOOOOM I made The Sign of The Cross. Ain’t that good enough?
N.O.T. are smashed and the company smashed N.O.T. are ready to be baked in the mornin’. Ham is in the oven. Da cave is smellin’ all hamerriffic.
