If anyone asks, eating angel foood cake while drinking whiskey makes for a rather poor combination. It, th whiskey has at least untied a couple of layers of musehle knots. ---

Yes, but speaking from experience, typos are preferable to pain. I tried to mispell something, but I could not. šŸ™‚ ---

Speaking of dipsomania, I cut up much of the tree the drunkard left. I found one of my three arisaema alive. The chainsaw and I gave out. I discovered that much of t he tree was cut and and dumped off the wall into the back yard. I hurt everywhere, but the half a vicodin is making it better. ---

Good morning and Happy Motherā€™s Day to the Mommy Mumpers. I am up and hanging out for a little bit. Iā€™m running a Motherā€™s Day 5K with a friend of mine this morning. At least I hope Iā€™m running. My knee was a bit on the cranky side yesterday (Iā€™m sure that climbing to the top of the McKinley Monument had \*nothing \*to do with it) and itā€™s only 37F outside right now but Iā€™m just going to do my best. Then this afternoon is my traveling friendā€™s performance and out to dinner afterwards. Busy day. Next weekend Iā€™m going to the local roller derby. Iā€™ll be setting up to sell my stuff. If itā€™s a successful venture, Iā€™ll set up for all of their home bouts this season. If not, well, at least Iā€™ll be entertained. ---

Morning all, and happy Sunday! I had a fun night out with friends yesterday, went to a specialist real ale put in the big city where they had [this](http://www.sinclairbreweries.co.uk/skull_splitter.html) on the beer list. Itā€™s much stronger than my usual tipple but it had to be tried! Most of the other beers were around 3-4.5% but thereā€™s always something special on pump number 9. I donā€™t have much planned for today apart from ironing and vacuuming which Iā€™ll be doing later. I might make some parsnip soup for lunch and spend the rest of the day vegging (apart from the obligatory half hour on the Wii machine). A nice soak in the bath after my exercise, and then I will be having steak and chips for dinner. As Iā€™m off on holiday on Wednesday, I should start getting stuff together for that tooā€¦ ---

Up at 4am with contractions on Mothers Day. But I am sure it is another false alarm. :rolleyes: ---

Iā€™m still without housemate supervision- she has a new boyfriend, so Iā€™ve had the house to myself allll weekend. At least I kept the coasters clean. ---

[Sing-along time!](http://youtu.be/tgbNymZ7vqY) Sinuses are acting up this morning. I think a trip to the Botanical Gardens is in order for this afternoon since the university graduation festivities are over. Friday Detailed AGM brought in a black cherry chocolate cheesecake from [Karen Donatelli cakes](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Karen-Donatelli-Cake-Designs/244260012303647) for Squirrel AGM, Mr. Mississippi, and Afternoon Blonde who are all May babies. Once again I got all the raspberries because those nuts donā€™t know what good is. I may have to insist on a KD cake for my fourth workiversary in June. Then Iā€™ll have to slap Betty Crocker and Duncan Hines because they donā€™t make cakes like that.
