Papa John is making supper. I’m off to fetch it. Envy me not…
taxi - probably too late, but I just peel beets, slice them, and add lime juice and salt. I do various combinations of raw vegetables like this (jicama, carrots and cucumber are really good with lime juice as well). You can dust them with spices as well (cayenne, chili powder, maybe curry).
Home from long day. I think we’re going to a nearby Mexican restaurant for dinner, although my brother has managed to fall asleep on the couch already.
Have a nice trip, lieu.
There was more, but I’ve forgotten. Back later with memory correctly installed.
Hugs.

Speakin’ of Mexican food, since da cave is bein’ all spiffed up outside tomorrow I won’t be able to sneak home for N.O.L. which is ok cause I will be in da Burg tomorrow mornin’. There’s a newish Mexican place there and it’s callin’ out to me to eat there. Should be an interestin’ experience. It’s in what used to be a Krystal.
That is all. Ima go lie upon the bed and watch me some teevee.
Nitey Nite Y’all!
We went to the taco truck since it was late and neither of us was super-hungry. It was yummy.
We’ve also been for a walk.
Brother and nephew are leaving for a week in Michigan tomorrow. I might meet up with them at the end of the week and go to the Henry Ford Museum (including Harry Potter in IMAX)
Off to bed, I think.
Hugs.

Our story so far…
My team won trivia at the Bistro Monday, got a $40 gift card(team bar tab was $55)
Missed the select a seat for hockey. I wasn’t moving, but free hotdogs are free hotdogs. Went and had sushi and martinis instead. My phone was also randomly butt dialing women in my contact file, including the lady I’m “just friends” with. I own a perverted Blackberry.:eek:
Today I wasted 3 hours at work, because my DM told me to do the wrong thing. Also my roomate C did not win the lottery, so I have to go to work tomorrow. 
FCM, Papa brought me dinner, also.
swampy, pool time is more important than irk. Also family(biological or chosen is waaaaayyyyy more important that work.
What a day at work! I’d tell y’all all about it but it would be mundane: involves a hilarious printer goof and that pregnant woman (who is not pregnant anymore but still not at work) possibly never training another single technician how to use the machine that packages and barcodes the inhalation ampules today, instead we get to do it by hand, which requires two pharmacist verifications each along the way. Did I mention each med cart we do has a dozen+ of these on it? Minor kink, but hey, I work indoors, so I can only complain about so much 
Applied for several jobs today, some attainable, and some that I’m probably technically not qualified for. I figure that maybe there’s one that they’re getting desperate to fill and that my resume doesn’t look like the absolute worst one…
And thanks for the shirt suggestions. I figured I’d hold on to it until it becomes funny, at this point, we’re already quite a ways there, and if I dig it out of a box in 10 years, I can laugh and laugh. Donating it just seems so… permanent, like he’d call the next day and I’d look like a monster for getting rid of his favorite shirt.
With nothing to lose, I think I’ll just send him a message and ask what he wants me to do with it since we don’t ever see each other. I’d be willing to compromise at mailing it to him. There’s more drama spun into this whole thing than I am letting on, but I’ll bore y’all with that some other time.
swampy, may your adventure be grand. Wednesdays are my go-out-to-eat-with-all-the-old-AIDS-gays night, and they always seem to pick the most ridiculous restaurants. I’ve had two back-to-back lackluster Mexican places. Ah, and what time does the pool open, and is clothing allowed? I will only swim in nudity-mandatory facilities.
** doggio** congrats on the trivia win! The years on SDMB musta paid off
gt you poor thing! But 7 years of service is reasonable, and the world is sooooo much faster these days Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, that guide looks like it might be a fun afternoon project! (read that as unbridled enthusiasm or dripping with sarcasm, depending on how you feel about it.) I’ve got a MacBook that I need to crack open for some exploratory surgery 
Taxi, if you don’t want to heat up the oven, there’s always soup! A nice cold borscht, maybe a plop of mashed cauliflower? Ever open up the fridge and feel like you’re in a TV cooking challenge show? (My favorite relatable one was Chopped on Food Network).
Also gonna ride the GOOSE CABOOSE! and get everyone who got missed, and also to teach the others a lesson for going around goosin’ people! Harrumph.
Anyway, ambien is out and about, concentration and dexterity flagging, and I have the next two days off, and very busy. I’ll bore you later. Niiight!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’ YAWN ‘Tis 75 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 96. Accordin’ to The Weather Channel site we have had no snow in the past 24 hours. How can that be!
doggio I agree, pool time is important. Very important, even! Speakin’ of which, donkeybear my back yahd is privacy fenced, so if one is nekkid in the pool the neighbors won’t know unless they peek over the fence. I do prefer however, that any pool nekkidness be confined until after dark. Of course, it has been known to occur before dark at times.
Ok, I need more caffiene and then must irk purtify. I’m meetin’ OYKW for brekkie at Waffle House in a little while. YUM! No knittin’ shall be done however.
Happy Thursday Y’all!
Did I ever get around to congratulating you on the upcoming baby, LiLi? If I didn’t, gratz, and I hope the morning sickness goes away fast.
Started new job on Monday, got dumped straight in into a 2-day workshop (didn’t even get to take the laptop out of its bag). I like that it’s a company where laptops are rare in meetings; Voss (her initial is a V) has given me a couple “big piles o’ shit” (her words) but that’s actually interesting to me, as I get to learn new stuff… but I think she’s been told I’m a lot more technical than I am I don’t know how to program the Big Blue Database and have no interest in learning that part. We’ll see what happens. Now I’m slowly going through the Intake Process of having some people do nasty things to my laptop, then having to ask for admin privileges on it (for some reason, their script always sets it to Canary Islands time - I told Support if I’m ever 1h late to a meeting I’ll blame them), getting email, getting a lot of emails from Support telling me they’re Doing Things, being given access to the BBD but not its addy :p, etc etc.
Got the first week of August off and will be getting my kitchen redone in September, yay
Blurf. A sweaty “G’mornin” to y’all.

Good Mornin’ everyone. Is it Firday yet? We had a fish fry last night with 12 in attendance. Fried dolphin, grouper, shrimp , fries and coleslaw. Mango upside down cake for dessert. Glad that is over. I hope our company have enjoyed their free vacation. I’ve never had a free vacation.
I saw on the news that the shuttle arrived home safely. One less thing for me to worry about.
Hot as all get out here and buggy. Did i mention buggy?
Swampy– maybe that boy should be in jail for a while. Stupid youngun’s.
Rosie’s sig to all.
FCM Come on down. ITT has awesome deals on snorkeling and most everything else to do here. Drinks on me.
You fried Flipper?!? :eek:
Funny you should ask as 8 yr of grandchild asked also. Twas mahi mahi. But with all that fried food I feel like Flipper and sort of resemble her too.
How you doin’?
I need to win the lottery as well…
::gooses Annoyed::
If you win the Lottery, will you run away with me? 
Yes, I know that mahi mahi-dolphin is fish…
Up, caffeinated, off to irk.
: waves enthusiastically at Nava :
I wanna win the lottery, too!!! I guess I oughta play every now and then.
It seems I’m finally gonna get my pay raise from my promotion that was announced back in May. It’s supposed to be retroactive back to then, too. I’ll believe it when I see it on Aug 5th payday.
My tummy is blechy this morning. But I think I need to eat something.
Rosie - I hope you get a video of your flash mob! I love those things.
Fed Up - don’t eat Flipper!!!
Has anyone noticed the level of TMI has risen since DonkeyBear has come back? 
Had a wonderful visit with my brother and sister-in-law (and their little doggie Pancho!) yesterday - they showed us around Albuquerque as they’ve apparently been visiting here for years. LOL Saw the Sandia Tramway (don’t know if I wanna go up on the tram yet though :D) and where the ABQ zoo is as well. Another brother is coming in October for the Balloon festival.
We are loving Albuquerque, which finally got some rain yesterday, and I am enjoying retirement so far. Love you all and am so glad to be back in the fold.
I would love to win the lottery as well! It would help if I bought tickets more often, I think.
My week so far:
Monday: irk
Tuesday: irk
Wednesday: irk
Today: irk
I have to work tomorrow too.
My son leaves for his freshman orientation at Washington State University tomorrow. He rolled his eyes when I told him to check all the fluid levels in his car. Hey, it’s a long drive and I would hate for him be stuck somewhere.
Well, I suppose I should dig into my work. My giveadamnedness is nowhere to be found.
DoRe More TMI somewhere where I am? Are you saying that I induce it in other people? Because I always assumed that everyone was toning it down for my delicate young ears.
donkeybear those ears of yours’ may be young but I doubt highly they are delicate.
Et me an early lunch at the Mexican place in da Burg. Not too shabby. I won’t drive up there just to eat there but it’s a place to eat when I’m in da Burg, so there’s that. Needless to day, da Burg does not teem with places to eat.
Stuffed I hope the boy is out of stir by now but I agree that a few days wouldn’t hurt him any just for bein’ so stoopid.
Glad you’re enjoyin’ Albberkoike Herbs and yay for brother visits!
Look! It’s Nava!
