Oh, yeah. He’s not on a pump, is he? That adds another few steps to the whole ordeal: making sure the site’s good, the line isn’t kinked, the insulin in the reservoir is still good… yeah, we check all that first before we take a temperature. It’s the life!
I have to get my car registration renewed. Once again I forgot to mail it in advance and I forgot to do it earlier in the month and now I only have two days left to do it. Who decided to make registrations and drivers licenses renew on your birthday? Happy Birthday now you get to go to the DMV! What fun.
Ooh! My tabs for my vehicle expire this month too! I better take care of that tomorrow!
It’s another day in paradise here in the office. I opted to just go ahead and take tomorrow off. Screw it, I’ve got tons of leave.
I think OYKW just talked dirty to me. :eek: See, I took the <snerk> butt <snerk> off the smoker and it smells and looks teh yum! So, I’m talkin’ to him a few minutes ago and I say that I have a purty smoked butt. He said, “Oh, I know all about yer purty smoked butt heh! heh! heh!” So, he either likes my bbq or he talked dirty to me on the phone.
Anywho, he’s takin’ tomorrow off he’s decided. Like Taters he has tons o’ leave and is makin’ generous of the use or lose part. Don’t blame him. Plus, well, I gets mah bear all to myself! :D:D:D
What? Makes me happy to have mah possibly talked dirty to me on the phone bear all to myself at the pool.
mmmmmmm’s ain’t appreciation great!
Speakin’ of brownish lawns, we have not had a lot of rain lately so I should let the sprinklers run but, bein’ as I’m out of work at the moment, I see that as an expense that ain’t necessary. 'Cept I do like a somewhat green lawn. However, I am also cheap.
Ok, need to do up some dindin. Hamsteaks are already grilled. Maybe some field peas and some Uncle Ben’s Converted wild rice. Ever wondered what Uncle Ben’s Rice was before it converted? N.O.T.? Carrots? Broccoli? A question for the Mumpers to ponder.
Well, scratch me makin’ dindin’. OYKW has a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for some Maryland Fried Chicken. Well, fine, far be it from me to deny his gnawin’ and cravin’. So, he’s gonna pick up some chicken, tater tots (there’s just sump’n about those MFC tater tots!) and rolls. I made a ton o’ coleslaw for this Sunday’s doin’s earlier today so I told him we could eat some of that. It ain’t like I didn’t make enough to feed twice as many people who are showin’ up and he knows that.
Mayhaps the hamsteaks can be part of a really good brekkie tomorrow. Ham 'n aigs is always a good thing!
Back on my regular hours - yay! Today was mostly boring, but at least I got to leave at my normal time.
Tortellini for supper. That’s all I’ve got planned. Nautical Flea Market in Annapolis on Saturday - that’s my only weekend plan.
Except for building a resume. Thinkin’ about going back to being a real engineer. What a concept!!
No, Gnat uses syringes. No pump now, but we might get one later.
What do I want to make for dinner?

Zooooooooom!
Today got crazy at work. Lots of meetings plus a bunch that has to get done today 'cause I’m in the club with all of you who have a lot of time off and just said “screw it, I’m taking tomorrow.” I’m gonna relax and be ALONE. And it will be glorious.
Sticky, I went home and made the chocolate rosemary cake last night. I didn’t put all the sugar on top that the recipe called for, and that was a mistake. It’s not very sweet at all so KT said, “My brain’s confused. Half the time it thinks I should be eating this with some nice lamb chops but then I hit the chocolate and think I’m having dessert.” Interesting flavor combination (in a good way), but it needs all the sugar that is called for (and maybe a little more) to really taste like dessert. I did a mix of rye flour and whole wheat flour instead of the spelt. Definitely worth a try.
See y’all on Tuesday!

Dunno, LiLi. I’m thinking I’ll have a tamal (there are frozen ones in the freezer), some strawberries and grapes and maybe some carrots.
::waves at taxi::
Long dumb day at work - lots of meeting time, and frustrating stuff to do in the afternoon.
Gotta go seek food.
Hugs.

The smoked <snerk> butt <snerk> is all chopped up and ready to be made into bbq. It has been pronounced good. It’s a good thing to have one’s own taste tester.
Oh and I have let him off the hook re makin’ cheesecake. Instead, at the suggestion of one of the attendees, we shall be makin’ homemade strawberry ice cream. Ok, he will be makin’ homemade strawberry ice cream. I don’t intend to be in the kind of state one needs to be in to operate electrical appliances by the time it needs to be made on Sunday. Thanks to slow cookers, beans and bbq will be all ready to eat without major prep. That requires no coherent state to operate appliances.
Oh joy! The church website has been updated. Here, for your enjoyment is yet another picture of my fat ass. I do so like knowin’ that’s out there for the world to see!
ETA me and my fat ass are first on four!
Oh joy! The weekend has begun. Thank goodness!
Gotta hit the treadmill and the weight bench and then I’m free to enjoy my evening. Well, except for the cooking dinner part. I have to do that too.:rolleyes:
Mr Rebo hit the rack about an hour ago, and me and Mr Jim Beam are gettin’ acquainted. Poor baby, has to get up at 2:15 and take a load of lumber to San Antonio and area tomorrow. He will get off early though, and then have a three day weekend! I should have taken off the three days I have to work next week. After today’s meeting, it sounds like the work is coming in!
Tonight was a tasty Chef salad - low carb and yummy! 'Cept I had two cookies after.
Oh hey - two separate people said I looked like I had lost weight! W00t! I have lost ten pounds in about two months. I can’t see the difference, but I’ll take a compliment or two!
Okay - stopping before i start sounding like **Swampus **the other night,…
There are several pictures of you there, swampy, a couple of them including your face. So what was the bit with the kids and the wagon?
Tired. Off to beddie bye.
Hugs.

So, which ass is yours? It’s hard to properly admire it if I don’t know which one belongs to you!
Morning all, happy Firday! We have a long weekend coming up, I’m all in favour of bonus days off as Monday is a bank holiday here. I have to spend some time this weekend sorting out the house as it’s a proper mess - needs a good clean (not a man-clean) and I also need to start clearing the outside wilderness again.
Might find time for a bike ride or two if the rain holds off, and I need to find something exciting to cook while 'im indoors is on his diet and I can cook whatever I like without faffing about finding things he’ll actually eat.
Other than that, nothing much to report. We’re having an office lunch date at Café Rouge as one of the ladies is retiring today. I’m looking forward to that, and I suspect a large part of the morning will be taken up by menu consultations!
Swampy, you and your fat ass are looking good!
I’s all blurfey because I slept in 2 hours today. I luuuuurrrrrrrves me a 4 day weekend.
I want a 4-day weekend, too!!!
Also, I want to eat at mmmmmmmmmmmmm’s house.
Happy Firday!!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. Soon I shall go make some ham 'n aigs for brekkies. MMMMMMM…
Juliana my fat ass is in the red shirt and white pants. They’re actually off white but still, nuttin’ like a pair of white pants to show off fat assedness!
gt last Sunday we had the ingathering of the United Thank Offering. The UTO is a project of the Episcopal Church Women. Twice a year we bring in our “little blue boxes” filled with coins we place in ‘em in thanksgiving for whatever. The little red wagon was filled with UTO boxes and was taken to the Altar by two little boys to be blessed. They had a blast doin’ that btw. It was cute. They were all wavin’ and smilin’. It’s amazin’ how much money can get collected that way. The money is used for things like scholorships, grants for Episcopal Day Schools, relief effort and such. I drop some coins in my little blue box everyday and the thing gets heavy by the end of six months. We’ll do this again at Thanksgiving.
Mornin’! TGIFirday!
I got nuthin’…
