An attractive and intelligent woman.
We’re supposed to get a dining room table and chairs and two china cabinets from Airman’s boss tomorrow, so Airman spent some time last night moving some boxes into the attic. I found a purse that his stepmom gave me a few years ago. Three unused gift cards fell out, one from Starbucks, one from the local supermarket, and one from Old Navy. So I’m going to be well-dressed, well-fed, and well-caffeinated.
The sprog has been spending the week in Texas with my family. Somehow, a table of adults decided that allowing him an unlimited supply of Dr Pepper was a good idea, then wondered why he was being such a spaz. :smack: My cousins and I had a good laugh over it. Now he’s visiting my brother and his family. My brother called him a “millennial”, which I’m assuming is not a compliment, but my brother has turned into a reincarnated version of my grandfather, so I’m taking that for what it’s worth.
Wasn’t he an Italian nationalist? I didn’t know that he made chocolate.
You’re probably thinking of Garibaldi. Maybe he made chocolate, too. Who knows?
The way my same-age coworkers used it at the last job, apparently it’s code for “youth nowadays, how dare they do less drugs than my own generation?”
Woke up feverless but with a massively sore neck. Can’t turn my head to the right and the pain’s making me nauseous. Guess it’s a good thing I called off work because I can’t drive like this. Where’d I put my heating pad?
**Robyn **- Yay for found gift cards, but fingers crossed that they’re not the kind that expire… I always thought it was pretty cheesy of companies to level a surcharge against cards that weren’t used within a certain period of time. Pick my pocket, why doncha???
Two narrow misses this morning. First was a bunneh that darted across the street in front of me. Luckily, it was fast enough, so no bunneh guts on the car. Second was the ass in the black car with the headlights turned off who came whipping around the corner at the WaWa. We both stopped, and he (or she) stayed put while I pulled into the parking space. Why do some idiots insist on driving so fast in parking lots??? No matter - I got here alive, so there’s that.
TGIF. Just gotta make it to 3:30.
Happy Firday!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 37 Amurrkin out and N.O.S. with a predicted high of 57 and N.O.S. for the day. Rain is predicted for Sunday and the early part of the week. We shall see. Today’s big plan is the makeage of chikin pot pie. The chikin is simmerin’ away as I post and I have boiled aigs coolin’ off as well. A good day to have a comfort food for dindin. Tomorrow is a big cook day. I shall make a pound cake, cook the collards and peas, make up the beastloafs and make the mac ‘n cheese. This will make puttin’ it all together on Sunday a lot less hectic. I plan on deheathenatin’ Luterun style and then gettin’ foodstuffs ready. We shall gather around noon for the all important Bloody Mary’s and then I envision N.O.L. around one. Gotta have a plan.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. I shall also purtify and go deal with some errands whilst the chikin cools down after it’s done. Tell me I don’t know how to do retired! 
Happy Firday Y’all!
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off today, so I’ll get my car inspected today. Hockey tonight. 
I’ve been to Ghiradeli Square in San Francisco.
My bro give us Glauber’s chocolates for Christmas - VERY yum!
There’s a chocolatier in Leonardtown that’s been there a few months - I need to check them out. Altho that could be dangerous. And delicious.
Got a little snow overnight and while everything is wet and gloomy, some of the yards and trees are quite pretty. Work today and the casino with a couple friends tomorrow. It will be a line but we’re doing the buffet which is actually very good; something we haven’t done in almost a year.
I think I just got a boiler room call on my work line. I could hear lots of talking in the background and the woman who called had a fairly thick accent. She asked “Is this <slightly inaccurate company name>?” so I’m pretty sure it wasn’t legit. Plus I don’t give this number to anyone and it was unused for a long time before I got here, so it’s not like she was looking for someone else.
One big messy project done (for now) and another about to be begun. Good times!!
All packed and getting ready to leave for the airport at noon and now the highway is closed due to a head on collision. Sheriffs dept says may be a lengthy closure. Dammit. Hope we don’t miss our flight.
I thought he was Chief of Security on Babylon 5?
Butters, hope you make the plane.
FCM, getting away from callers, even with the no-call and barely used numbers is such a delight, isn’t it?
swampy, the Julia Childs of S. Georgia…
Bigkitty, ouch on the neck; mine is stiff now and then but nothing like what you’re experiencing; hope it takes a turn for the better…
I think I may have chipped a tooth, or something sharp is stuck between 2 of them, since it shredded the floss I used to try to remove it. ugh. Right before a holiday weekend, too! I sent a message to my dentist - we’ll see how soon they can get me in. No pain, so it’s not an emergency, but I keep running my tongue over it to see if it’s still there. Stoopit tooth!
Chikin pot pie has been assembled. MetalMouse I only use my Julia Child imitation for carvin’. I’ll make the bizkit toppin’ for the pot pie just before I bake it in the oven. Oh, and I washed and dried sheets. Go Me!
BigKitty hope the neck is better.
Butters hope you make your plane. Stoopid drivers!
The road just opened with a ten mile backup in each direction. I called Delta and was able to change the flight to a 532 pm flight. I love Delta. No charge. So we are leaving around three as I have to take Lucky Louie to the base first. I do know I will be having a Bloody Mary at the airport.
Everyone stay warm and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
One must support local businesses! 
Butters - hope the flight works out. Check Waze (app) for a route around the accident. Hopefully I’m so late to this news that you don’t need my advice…
BigKitty hope the neck feels better. I sympathize.
Off to brunch. This afternoon shall be spent taking the kids to their new psychiatrist (fewer trips to CA - yay!). Both need to see one regularly for various issues (autism for the win). I am not happy about losing the day, but so it goes.
Happy Firday all!
Knowing where **Butters **is, the only way around the accident is by boat. There’s only one main drag thru the Keys…
I’m working on another drawing from hell - sooooooo sloooooooooow!!! Still 2 hours to go. <whine>
Can we just skip 2017 & go straight to 2018?
