Double post to be first on 11! 
I’m making ravioli on the stove as we speak. Firdays call for lazy suppers.
I’m also watching an ebay auction on an anime production cell from a character I really got a kick out of in high school.
I think that’ll be my new hobby, collecting obscure character cells that mean something to maybe me and my friends only.
In other news, last night I had a dream two polar bears escaped from the museum (in the dream it was definitely not a zoo) and I was running away from the carnage. The museum director said that polar bears won’t attack you if you are standing in a line, but I didn’t buy it and back into the museum to find a hiding spot.
I wonder what my brain was working on for that one?
I’m back from work. It’s nice out, if you like windy wind and hot breezes. At least it is slightly less humid now. AC is still on.
Annoying Coworker told me there was nothing to endorse so that’s why she didn’t (then why chart you endorsed?) and she freely admitted to only giving 250cc of a 360cc bag (IOW, wrong dose). I left a message with my ANM. I really don’t want to be the lightning rod of conflict, but she’s doing this wrong and the pt is not getting the proper amount of medicine. This is BIG, even though she (ACow) doesn’t see it that way. I won’t say more because I probably shouldn’t.
Boys to camp on Sunday (#1 son), and Monday (#2 son) and me to Memphis on Sunday. I have to miss both remaining soccer games (boo) due to a memorial service tomorrow AM and I have to work the next Saturday. 
Anyhoo, once the boys get back, #1 son goes to Oz; Daughter and TH go to Boston. #2 son and I stay home. Do you think it’ll slow down eventually?
FCM–I missed why you are digging a trench in your basement. Does your husband have a German accent? Do you have a lot of kids?
Spaz–YAY on the remission and for Hansel.
Oh, yeah, that’s one of the items I forgot: YAY for being in remission, Spaz.
Those chickpeas sound yummy, bonkeydear. And the extra work actually sounds like a good deal for you, at least for a little while.
New cut and color sound like a nice change of pace, Taters.
ACW sounds like she comes by her name honestly, rigs. Please give her a whap upside the head for us.
I got my plants all sorted into where I’ll be planting them. Did a bit of weeding and some pot preparation (if they’d been ready, I would have finished potting them up).
After that, I was kind of heated up, so dinner consisted of ice cream (one scoop of banana and one of mango = two servings of fruit and two servings of dairy, right?), followed by a longish, slow walk.
Now I’m home, thinking I should be crawling into bed. I have some errands to run in the morning, then it’ll be off to work for a while. Might go to the art festival, since it’s downtown and will provide a nice break at some point. Gonna go watch the nephew play baseball on Sunday, it sounds like…
I’m actually getting sleepy; guess I’ll take advantage of that.
Happy Firday night, everyone!!!

Yup, Friday calls for a lazy dinner. Instead of the chicken boobies, I opted to heat the leftover chicken noodle soup. I need to clear space in the frig for tomorrow’s shindig anyway.
I’m tired, but I don’t know why. I’m sitting here yawning as I type this.
Rigs, you’re doing the right thing re:annoying co-worker. What’s next; that she kills someone because she didn’t give the right med or dose? Maybe that’s overly dramatic, but there’s no way a patient should suffer because of her mistakes/laziness.
Better check the soup.
I scanned. Too wasted to try and catch up.
Spent the day at a simulated crisis practice. 125 cops, 120 school people and an unpracticed scenario which was a school shooter. VERY realistic, very intensive and a good practice of our crisis plan.
So, home now after din din and having some Anchor Steam.
Life is good almost mainly because it was all pretend.
Somehow I narrowly avoided posting TMI in a Pit thread.
How I possessed the self control to abstain I’ll never know.
Okay, now I just did post something TMI. Told you I couldn’t help it.
It was in a nice and safe IMHO thread though. Nothing I’d regret posting to a public message board later.
Where the heck is everyone??
WAKE UP MY DANCING BEARS!!
WAKE UP!
Hmm, scanned three pages. No green lights of activity aside from mine. Oh yeah, it’s Saturday, that’s why. The board is always slower on Saturday mornings.
On the bright side, Saturday mornings make for real nice rides home. And today is the day that Catz goes to all the sales (most of you don’t know who she is, but I like finding out if she gets good loot).
::dances::
Mfffh, I’m so not awake. I took some Sudafed in the vain hope that it’ll perk me up, because AFAIK, there is no caffeine in the house. For sure, I don’t have any caffeine. I do have a big bag of Hershey’s Kisses, so I guess there’s caffeine in there but I don’t feel like boring chocolate.
Ugh. About to leave for work.
**rigs ** - we’re building an apartment in the basement for the newlyweds, which means there needs to be a full bathroom. The trenches are for the new drain lines.
I’m exhausted. I’ve been up for hours - it’s gonna be a long day. No idea why I woke up. I came out to watch some TV, hoping it’d make me drowsy, but now it’s light out, so no more sleep for me.
SIL stayed home from work last night - he hurt his back and called in from his supposed 3rd day of work. yeah.
We’ve got extreme heat warnings for the next few day - heat indices in the low 100s. swell.
I don’t know what else - I’m tired. Yep, gonna be a looooooong day.
Mrrpgghph. It’s early.
But the kid slept for thirteen hours, so I don’t mind. Thirteen interrupted hours, but hey.
Not dancing this early, though. Pthibbit.
89 today, 94 tomorrow, which is, of course, when I’m going to go watch the nephew play baseball. Please Og, let there be trees…
Awake and going out to finish planting stuff.
And now that we’re all around to entertain beebs, he’s gone…
::does anatomically improbable, but spectacular, series of dance moves::

Good Mornin’ Y’all! I’m wide awake and caffienatin’. I think it has to do with the fact that by ten last night I was zonked out. I pulled an all nighter. I didn’t get up even once to go pee.
Today is sangria day! YAY!!! I’ve been lookin’ forward to it. Also, friends are comin’ over later in the afternoon, or earlier, cause I told ‘em to come hang at the pool if they felt so inclined. We shall grill poke chops. They shall be served with baked beans and coleslaw. This means I need to make baked beans and coleslaw. No prob. As a matter of fact, as soon as I finish this post, Ima go start on the slaw. Yay for a Kitchen Aid stand mixer with chopper attachments! I can make a ton o’ slaw in no time with that sucker! I’m makin’ the Party Baked Beans. Look it up in the mumper recipe blog. I can get it all ready to go in the oven and let it chill out in the fridge until time to bake. I’m also gonna go ahead and grill the poke chops plus some burgers for lunch this mornin’, as in when I finish up in the kitchen. It’s gonna be hawt again today so Ima do that early.
OOH! JoeDawg’s daddy is bringin’ a homemade lemon icebox pie for dessert. :: drool ::
Ok, off to get busy.
Later Y’all!
Morning. Hot. Off to work.
Did someone need to see a dancing bear? 
I didn’t get a chance to post yesterday, but I’m all caught up now. Spent half the day at the doctor’s office, and the other half cleaning what remained to be cleaned. So I have a clean house, and the laundry’s done, too!
I’m kinda annoyed at Bro and wife. I was hoping they would come Friday, but the only flight they could get on landed at 11:23 pm, and they expected me to pick them up! It’s an hour to the airport. She works for an airline, so to fly for free they have to take what’s available. I suggested they rent a car - oh no, not just for two days! Grr. I would have. Anyway, they decided they would come on Saturday instead. Good! Their plane lands at 7:10 pm. Not so bad, but the fancy dinner I want to make will be so late! We don’t generally eat at 9:00.
I just think they’re cheap. It’s not like they don’t have the money to rent a car. Plus they need a ride back to the airport on Monday, and we’ll be working. It was decided they will take the SuperShuttle, whatever that is.
I guess I’m just being grumpy. I need more caffeine.
Aww, someone else who humors me.
(Make sure you harp on them for gas money.)
Several containers planted. Off to run errands and go to work. We’ll see how long I can stand it.

Happy Saturday, everyone.
Spaz, sorry to hear about Hansel, but yay on the unofficial remission.
FCM, you have mad construction skillz. I am in awe… the handiest I get is assembling Ikea stuff without the instructions. (that’s right, I live on the edge, man)
Taters, we demand photos of the new haircut! Demand, I say!
Today promises to be an action packed day. I’m going to tidy up the kitchen, purty up a few photos I took in the last couple of weeks so I can finally upload them to Flickr, and then I’m heading out for some shoe shopping with a girlfriend (I am justifying this purchase with the fact that they’ll pretty much be free once I use all the different gift certificates I received at the SATC screening).
Debating whether or not I want to walk downtown. On the one hand, I need to start training more heavily if I want to survive 60K in September, but on the other hand, it promises to be hot and muggy again.
Yeah, Taters, give us photos or give us … er, something else. 
The alumni thing last night was at this really fancy place (private lounge in the basement) but all they served were pretty yet tiny appetizers. So basically I ended up drinking on a fairly empty stomach. And ended up a lot drunker than I meant to be, although thankfully it didn’t really hit me until after I got home.
I was afraid I was going to be overdressed, but most of the girls were also wearing nice dresses, so that was okay. I got several compliments on my dress, which made me happy since I paid $15 for it.
