I worked, I went to the Booster Club board meeting. I might be [del]Shanghaied into[/del] asked to run for Board President.:eek: rosie, I haven’t had a Valentine date in forever either. I spent last night at the Bistro, with all the regulars. Good luck, **Stauder**! **Ruble** most Booster Club meetings last 30 minutes. Anything longer cuts into cocktail hour. ---

Tl;dr. Drive by due to not having had interwebz access (the hotel’s hub is being cranky) and having a presentation today. **Rosie** ’s sig to all. I have a new coworker whose presentations would be great for a drinking game: drink one shot every time he says/asks “ok?” and you’d be smashed by the third slide. He does it after every sentence and, when showing a computer screen, after reading the name of every field. When he inputs a numeric code, after every two or three figures :smack: ---

Ikea hot dogs for lunch! Yum! Well, no. Edible. And we got some fingerpaints and a fleece throw and the kids had a good time. Sleepy. I should go have a nap. ---

**swampy** , it’s just cruel of you to throw Sonny’s in my face. 😛 We’re having steak and twicet-baked N.O.T. and some sort of veggie side TBD. I survived the day, so there’s that. Why isn’t it Firday? ---

**LiLi** Ikea hot dogs? Did you have to put 'em together yourself? 😃 I picture an Ikea hot dawg as a pig, a butcher knife, a meat grinder, onions, and various condiments in a box. What? Everything else from Ikea comes in a box and has to be put together. Leftovers for dindin. Gotta eat up that pepper steak. I’m thirsty. I need me some iced tea. ETA: **MOOOOOOM** if it’s any consolation, Sonny’s is not as good as it used to be. Seriously. It’s still good but not the same quality as say five years ago. ---

Yeah. You go out back and have to take apart a cow with an Allen key. 😃 Apparently in Norway and Sweden they eat a lot of hot dogs and so it’s a genuine Swedish thing. Burritos and painkillers for me. My wisdom teeth are just gradually coming in, and they’ve been killing. I don’t have to have them yanked yet, but man, teething hurts and I fully sympathise with my baby. ---

Heh. Hot dogs from Ikea sound…odd. I, too, voted on your LOLs, **rosie**. I’ve been lounging all day, eating soup and tea and citrus and tea. Big fun. I feel a lot better, but would love to be able to take tomorrow off as well. Maybe Firday? I’ve been knitting and am about 2/3 done with my first hobo glove for me. It’s the best one so far. Back to knitting and watching mindless stuff (so far today, I’ve watched a German movie online, _27 Dresses_, several episodes of _Psych_, and two episodes of _Bones_. Why, yes, I\* have\* been a couch potato today; why do you ask? Hugs all. GT ---

> [@dogbutler](#): > > **Ruble** most Booster Club meetings last 30 minutes. Anything longer cuts into cocktail hour. The one sportsmens club I belonged to held board meetings in the club bar. The wives caught on when the meetings went weekly and took 4-8 hours each. And we strapped our pool cues to our briefcases. They may have caught on and objected earlier but to be honest I think they were glad to get rid of us once a week. :smack: ---
