A tired and uninspired MMP...

Happy Birthday Herbs!

So very thankful it is Friday - I have the new hire class dinner tonight then I am going to do nothing this weekend other than laundry and a possibly movie trip

I’s tahred!

Yup I always travel like this in this job countries I have been to this year include: Congo, Gabon, Libya, Angola, South Africa, Norway (Twice), Romania, Italy, Germany, Kazakstan…planned for the rest of the year are UK, Tunisia, Algeria, Nigeria and Azerbijian

It is not as glamerous as it sounds…exhausting is more like it

If it’s Tuesday, it must be Belgium?

Happy Birfday, Spicey!

Whatever you do, mmmmms, don’t agree to do business with the wife of the last Nigerian Minister of Finance who has Eleventy Billion dollars in a swiss bank account and just needs you to transfer it to your U.S. account for her. :wink: BTW, do they not have space heaters in Urp? Much as I love the place, I don’t understand that heat/no heat thing.

I go to my first balance rehab session this afternoon. This should be interesting.

Rosie’s sig to everyone and Happy Firday to boot!

Happy Birthday, Herbs!

I forgot to comment on gt’s comment on the knitting patterns. I hadn’t read them closely enough to see that one was an odd number of stitches and one was even. That will make a difference. I’ll have to try it and see how it looks!

Reminder just popped up for an interview I have to do (as the interviewer). Gotta go pee and then interview!

Happy Birthday Herbs!!!

Bobbio, I *am *fun, smashed or not.:wink:

I am so glad it’s Friday. I must dash off to a meeting in a bit, but am still waiting to hear where it’s being held.:rolleyes:

Tomorrow will be busy because we are celebrating **Mr. Taters **birthday with friends. He’s invited them all over to our place to eat and party. So, I get to cook and clean all day. I’m happy to do it for him, but it would have been nice to relax too.

Well, I better get to gettin’. Write at y’all later.

Easy for you to say… :stuck_out_tongue:

Hippo Birdsday Herbie!!!

Rigs, I was reading about a smash and grab spree at salons in your neck of the woods, careful!
Friday: The Official Day of Starting No New Things

I’m outta here! See y’all in a week and a half!

Happy vacation, taxi! So jealous. So so so jealous. Hope you guys have a great time and get some nice weather.

I’ve got a bad case of the Don Juannas this afternoon. Doesn’t help that it seems like half the office isn’t even here today… it’s hard to be motivated when it’s quiet like this.

Happy birthday, tarra! Too tired to code, sorry.

Nat (who still isn’t walking) decided that we need practice for when the newborn arrives, and was up and restless and sleepless between about 12 and 4 this morning. We are all zombies today. Any complicated thought is put off until tomorrow, assuming I’ve had more sleep.

Also, I had to buy dishwasher soap, razor blades, and diapers during my Costco run today, which added roughly $150 to my normal bill, and I’m still in paying-for-groceries shock.

Maybe Quasi-Daughter will make us dinner? Oh, and update- when she got home after being here until very late on Tuesday, her whole family pounced her and asked where she’d been.

She said she was talking to Attacks Things Husband.

What on earth would you have to talk to him about?
Well, he’s interested in me and…
Cue two-hour interrogation about his family, prospects, income, interests. Dear lord. She’s twenty-seven. He hasn’t asked to marry her. They’re both frigging adults. Lay off. She needs to move out, or I will strangle her mother personally.

Which reminds me, last time I phoned and got her Mom, her mother lectured me about whether QD had time to talk, and how they were all very busy, and I probably wouldn’t be able to talk to her today.

I am planning to tell her off next time I see her. She’s still under the impression that I’m twelve. This must be firmly corrected.

<AHEM> CLEARING THROAT <AHEM>

Ol’ y’all know who will be here soon. I shall be busy “welcomin’” him home. :wink:

See y’all tomorrow.

Happy Tarra Day!!!

Glad the week is over. We met today and got the rundown on the 3-week project that’s keeping me from taking next week off. My cohort and I have 23 facilities to study, and he’ll be gone during the last week, so I’ve got to count on him to get his buns in gear and complete his share before then.

Tuna casserole for supper tonight. Then knitting. Sailing tomorrow, I think.

Doggies get groomed next week. They need it big time. Scruffy will be clipped and both will be bathed. That should reduce household stink. yay.

TGIF.

Looks like we’re going out for supper. I was cooking up some cauliflower and burned it. The house stinks. I don’t feel like cooking anymore. So, it’s dining out.

YAY!

Erev Rosh Hashana dinner is burbling away.

Matzah ball soup is simmering.

Gefilte fish is simmering.

Orange glazed chicken is cooking.

Glazed carrot coins are steaming.

Apples will soon be cut and challah waits for the knife.

Happy New Year y’all!

L’shana tovah to all of you who are celebrating the new year!

Hope you get some sleep soon, LiLi!

Home, tired, long day (even though I didn’t even work 8 hours).

Off to forage for din-din.

Hugs.

GT

Mmmmmm, can I come to your house for dinner, **Soapy? ** That all sounds good!

Friday evening at last! Other than that, I gots nuttin’.

Hugs and smooches to all.

Tummy full now. Minions (ie family members) cleaning. Sigh.
Taters, you’d be welcome!!!

I made it through work. My bad knee hurts. Canes lost. Beerverages will help the last 2.

LiLi, hope you and Nat get some rest.

many happy returns of the day, Tarra. What in hell are you talking about, MBG? Smash and grabs at salons? And get what? Perm stuff and old Vogue magazines? WTH?
Doggie, sorry to hear about your knee.

LiLi: that doesn’t sound like hell; that is hell. Sorry. :frowning:

I am off for the weekend, but I need to work on some stuff. Soccer game tomorrow. Woot.
