Home. Trash and recycling have been disposed of. Meatloaf is in the oven. Daughter just got home. More later, I hope…
I would like to apologise for all the typos, misspellings, bad grammar and other general mistakes in the last post of mine. Wow. I swear I am more educated than that.
New loo fitted. No leaks! 
Quality manuals rebo are made that way for a reason. I think. In order to ensure that they are the dullest things possible.
In other news I am avoiding work as I was productive this morning and have lost all work ethic this afternoon.
The meatloaf was good and most of the leftovers were ingested, so yay for emptying the fridge!
And tomorrow’s Firday, so double yay for that! I am so ready for a weekend.
OK, dessert fiends, I’m going to a party at my sister’s on Sat and I’m supposed to bring a dessert. There will be a cake. I need ideas of something easy to transport, not cookies, because my famiily is Christmas-cookied-out. It’s a 90 minute drive, so ice cream won’t work unless we stop enroute. Ideas??
MOOOOOOM how bout a big bag of m&ms. Bite sized, chawklity and easy to transport. Problem solved.
mmmmmms yay for non-leaky fancy terlet!
Chicken nachos for dindin. They were nummy. Now I gotta go check on cookies bakin’ away. I shall report back on the cookieageness of 'em.
Oh goody, the meteorologists are saying the snow word again tonight. That means that The Troll is going to be all flibbertigibbet when I get in tomorrow morning because she doesn’t want to drive in snow. Here is where I point out that she’s from West Virginia. She’s managed to piss off every single person who works with her, which is quite a feat considering that two of those people (Kitchen Guy and Squirrel AGM) are quite unflappable and are predisposed to like everyone. Squirrel actually muttered “bitch” under his breath when talking about her the other day! :eek: I’m so proud of him. I knew he could be mean if he only tried. 
Culinary Boy may not be going back to school this semester after all. He just found out that even though he can go back, he won’t be getting any GI benefits, which is pretty much his income so he can go to school. He’s going down there tomorrow to find out which end is up. Hopefully he can get some money to live off of, but if not then he’ll have to start up again in the fall. 
Cookieageness is wunnerful! Just sayin’.
We had poke chops, rice&gravy, and field peas. And bread pudding. Yum!
TGI almost F!!!
Cool program at Toronto library. LiLi - you need to attend and report back if they do it again.
Sorry about Culinary Boy’s troubles; hope he’s able to find a way to stay in school.
I thought you’d like that link, taxi. Glad you enjoyed it.
Been home for a while, but tired. Work is kinda stressful at the moment. New bosses arrive on Monday. It appears my direct boss is staying the same, at least for the moment, but still…
Off to find food.

Hi! A lot of you know I’m afraid of dogs. That said, we have a friend that has a long haired miniature dachshund, Cinnamon. I’m not afraid of Cinny.
She’s a sweet, quiet, gentle thing. She sits quietly in the chair beside me. She licks once, not until I’m dripping. She begs politely for food, by sitting up, not pawing my leg. Just a nice littel pup.
She and her “Mom” take care of Hubby’s aging parents. They love her too.
Yesterday, her “Mom” called to say she was taking her to the vet to have her anal gland expressed. (eww) Today she called, in tears. Cinny has anal gland cancer. If they remove it she’ll probably live 4-6 months, if not, one or two.
I’m so sad. We suggested they get a second opinion from a vet here in Seattle (They live in Sequim), but I’m guessing it won’t be any different.

I forgot how to climb stairs this evening.
Usually at rehearsal, once we get on the risers, we stay there until rehearsal is over. Tonight however we broke into sections, and my section went into the room where the kindergarten kids meet - so a chair was brought in for me, since I refused to try to sit on those little plastic things the kids call chairs. That room is up 3 steps with no railing. Up was easier than down. Then when I went to get back on the riser, I forgot which foot to start with, how to shift my weight, etc. I said “screw it” and pulled a chair up next to the risers. Feh.
Another day done. A tiny bit of hockey after work tomorrow.
{{{{{{picu}}}}}}}
I’ll have what the bear is having.
hope Culinary Boy gets thngs straightened out.
it’s 2am - should I try to get a few hours’ nap? or put on a pot of coffee and call it a morning?
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. You caffienatin’ with me Rosie?
{{{Picu and Cinny’s Family and Loved Ones}}} I have a friend who has a long haired dachshund named Oscar. He’s a loveable little fella so I know how you’re feelin’.
doggio I was havin’ chawklit chip peecan cookies. MMMMMMM Good!
Tomorrow is OYKW’s birthday. Hence the cookieage. They are what he wanted for his birthday. We’re havin’ his bday dindin tonight cause he want’s catfish (Hi BBBobbio!) from the good catfish/seafood restaurant. Plus we have his birthday coupon from there so he gets his free. If’n you sign up for it, you get a coupon for a free meal up to a $13.95 value on your birthday. Plus they have fried dill pickles! NUMMY! Tomorrow night a little soiree is bein’ thrown in his honor and in the honor of a few more folk with January birthdays by friends. They’re doin’ heavy horse doin’s so it’ll be like dindin. Plus there will be cake! Thus the request for cookies instead of a cake. I suppose I shall have to make him waffles and bacon tomorrow mornin’ cause that’s the spoiled brat’s favorite breakfast.
Ok, off to check out some more stuff on teh intertoobz, find more caffiene and feed rumbly tummy prior to purtification for irk.
Happy Firday Y’all!
Good morning all and a very happy birthday to OYKW! Thank goodness that it is a FIRDAY too.
Caffeination is in progress - only in progress, though, so I’m not all the way wake yet. Sending good thoughts out to CulinaryBoy, and to Spazkittie too; hope he’ll be able to work things out and get back in school for spring semester.
We only got a light dusting of snow this morning, thankfully.
Hope Rosie was able to get back to sleep last night. I have problems at night too - not falling asleep but staying asleep or getting back to sleep after awakening in the middle of the night, so I can empathsize.
Sending supportive thoughts your way too, GT; workplace changes can be very stressful! Gentle hugs also.
Hope everyone has a pleasant Friday - at least the weekend is nearly here!
Ain’t that the truth.
Blurf. I have to chauffer VWife to multiple doctor’s appointments today. Yee ha.
Happy Firday!
Finally got some work other than the snorefest of reading the quality manual. Yay!
Picu - sorry about the pup. That’s so sad.
Oh, picu, I’m so sorry.
Gt, thanks. That looks really cool. I’ll have to check it out if they do it again.
Brownies – and if you have one of those S-shaped pans that make only edges all the better.
PICU - my prayers and best your way.

It is finally here. Friday. Yay!
First phone interview of 2011 done and it was a good one so that eased me back in nicely. I have 3 more to do today then my first trip of the year is Monday to Tulsa.
In other news I have lost 6.5 lbs in my first 5 days back on Weightwatchers. Next week will be tough travelling but I have to make this work.
Coffee is finally kicking in so I must get back to busy work!
Poor Cinny. That’s really sad.
