A strangely early MMP

Relax, Flutter. :: hugs :: When I took my test, I ran a yellow light and drove around for a full minute with the emergency brake pulled up before I realized what was wrong. And yet they let me drive in public. :eek:

ETA: Really, the secret to being first is to not care.

Let’s mess with rigs by periodically postin’ in the old MMP, bringin’ back to the top of the page so she’ll think she’s clickin’ on the new MMP. It’ll be hours of entertainment! Endless fun! :smiley:

I did do what I said I was goin’ to do. I worked. I finished. Yay me.

Supper was a nummy sallit with grilled chicken. I may get adventureous and come up with some other sallity recipes with grilled chicken. Or not.

I did however seek out and find a basic recipe for sangria. I’m in the mood for some sangria. No, I don’t know why. I guess it’s just teh gay in me that wants to pickle fruit in alcohol. Anywho… I found this…

1 bottle red wine
A hefty shot or two of rum, brandy, gin, grain alcohol or whatever else you may desire
The juice of one or two lemons or limes or both
A bunch of sliced/chopped fruit. The recipe mentions strawberries, peaches, plums, grapes, oranges, pineapple chunks, melons, kiwis or whatever. I do think some citrus is de rigeur however

Mix it all up and chill, preferably overnight

Pour in tall glasses. Scoop some fruit in. Add a splash or two of club soda if desired. I like it kinda fizzy, so that sounds good. Serve over ice if ya wanna.

Sounds good does it not?

That’s what I was lookin’ for. Simple and easy peasy.

All I gotta do is buy some fruit. Jake!

HanselChameleon’s dying. How’s your day been?

Someone set a trap for beebs. Then we can lock him in the basement with no chocolate. That’ll learn 'im.

Awwwwwww… sorry about HanselChameleon {{{Spaz}}}.

Sorry about the reptile. How can you tell he’s dying?

I posted a query on the Apple support forum re my Keychains from hell. I hope someone answers…
I made chicken for dinner, with French fries. It did cool down outside (finally)–now it’s quite nice.

Turnin’ french fries into chicken… now that’s impressive! :smiley:

Oh, shut up. <grabs Hazel’s trout and whaps you with it>
I feel there is something I should be doing, but cannot recall what it might be. This is not good.

Maybe you should be turnin’ some broccoli into a standin’ rib roast?

:), well now I’m all twiterpated.

Hey, I was saving that for a midnight snack!

I went out for a celebratory dinner because… dun dun DA! I got the promotion!!
At 4PM today I was called into HR and they made me an offer. 2 ranks up, 26% pay raise and an extra week vacation! And I’ll have my own titles to manage (journal production).

Woo Hoo! They led me to believe there’d be another week of interviewing followed by a 2nd interview for all candidates. There were 2 openings at this level and I guess they will continue to interview for the 2nd but I’ve GOT that first opening! Yaaaay!

But it won’t take effect until June 23rd so I will continue to have “assistant” in my title until then.

I think this good fortune is due to joining the MMP. I should have started posting here sooner. Who KNOWS where I’d be now!

Are you sure that this one isn’t the old one and the other one isn’t the new one… maybe time is flowing baaaaackwaaaards.
:smiley:

I am finally listening to Avenue Q, and I am wondering what the hell took me so freakin’ long??!?!?!

Congrats on the promotion, Eels!

He’s very lethargic, won’t get up, and he fell when he tried to climb. Chameleons have to climb. Their feet are made to grasp. Complicated Roommate thinks Hansel had a stroke because one eye has a hard time opening and the back leg on that same side doesn’t grasp like it used to. Hansel fell off the side of the cage today and had to be taken outside in the sun before he’d calm down. Right now he’s lying in the bottom of his cage, not moving.

This is what Hansel is.
Back in his climbing days, back when I had long hair. Lolchamed by beebs.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! <flinging confetti with wild and reckless abandon> Many congrats! Drinks on you tonight! :smiley:

We been busy. As soon as **FCD ** got home, we headed down to get a whole kitchen worth of cabinets, the countertop, and the sink for $800. The toe kick panels are all ick - looks like some water was absorbed, but the cabinets themselves are in good shape. I assigned the newlyweds to clean and measure all of the cabinets and let me know so I can redesign their kitchen.

Other than that, not a whole lot. I volunteered for a big cross-training opportunity at work. Actually, I told my boss months ago that I wanted to cross-train to this particular area, and today, the boss’ boss said they needed volunteers. From the email, it sounds like it’s pretty hot - the guy they need to cover for is being promoted on the 23rd. So it may be a few intense weeks.

Is it Firday yet??

Today sucked, thanks for whoever asked. I found out that the Teaching Assistant positions are being eliminated as of October 1. I just moved into this position back on October 31. I’m enjoying the position to. Oh well. We have a meeting on June 10 to figure out what our options are. I’m going to try not to worry until then.

**Spaz ** sorry about Hansel. :frowning:

I want to go to a fabric store that is having a huge sale. I have a few things I want to [del]make[del] attempt to sew.

Yay for the promotion Eels! It was joinin’ in here that did it. We’re all magical like that. :smiley:

{{{MCUNE}}} may the mumper job magic work for you too.

I just played a demo version of Clue. It was fun. I won two games. Dunno if it’s fun enough to buy it or not though.

I just heard on my scanner that the shooter was spotted in public a few minutes ago.

:smack: :smack: :smack:

He’s not dumber than I imagined, he’s dumber than I can imagine. Maybe the deputies will get him this time.

I’m currently watching The Graduate which was on AMC earlier today. And I’m also eating some so-so Mini Eclairs.

Avenue Q and I go through phases… So do Randy Neuman’s Faust and I.

Congratulations, Eels!!!

{{{McUne}}}

I miss beebs, I wish he’d join this MMP ::sigh::

I’m done fighting.

Make-up kisses?
