As usual, I was shorthanded with the truck. Why bother applying for a job if you don’t even show up for day one? I also discovered new and exciting pains. 41 days.
Nava, you could just buy mom a small dog. That’s what I got replaced with.
Meeks, Picante’s gotten all camera shy. Do they all play together?
Yay? swampy!?! That is a cool Birhtday story.
MBG, also think this should be no sick kids summer.
Haze, I’ll join you for cookies and sun, but pass on the trashy novels.
I am feeling better! Yay! And #1 and #2 son are home from camp.
the new AC is on, but has yet to really make a dent in the heat.
Lisslar–hold that vomit! No emesis allowed! Nausea is a no-no! (ok, so I’m not much as a motivational speaker)
StG–I don’t think you had a radical neck, then. My MIL had a trach, a feeding tube, had to relearn how to swallow etc. (I don’t think you said you had a radical neck, I’m not remembering correctly!) sorry…
Haze–I have a skin condition which precludes me from tanning on the beach, but I’ll take a cookie. Thanks. How’s that paper coming? I need to do my GS homework this weekend–WHICH USED TO BE MY WEEKEND TO WORK AND NOW IT IS NOT BECAUSE I DON’T WORK THAT JOB ANYMORE. This makes me excited.
Off to hear more about camp from one very excited, very tired 9 year old.
Here’s to LiLi not throwin’ up. Ok, here’s hopin’ it doesn’t happen.
Supper was nummy. Peach cobbler was tres nummy. Happy tummys all around. Full tummys too.
It may not be very long til beddy bye time at da cave actually. If I get motivated enough to do so, I’m supposed to be at the church at eight in the mornin’ for breakfast followed by two or three hours of work. Just some stuff that needs doin’. Some of the kneelers need tightening, windows need to be washed and some yard stuff needs to be done. If twenty people show up it’d get done real quick. However, that means gettin’ up and motivatin’. Maybe I need to lecture me.
I’m feeling much better…, now. (points if you know what actor said it in which sitcom)
I got to the abuse center and whined at my terrorist. He hooked me up with the stim pads and shut the light and the door and I took a little nap. When I woke up, (the the stims shut off) I was able to do my exercises and I really did feel a whole lot better.
I had planned to hang out with friends tomorrow, but I think I will stay home and recooperate from my first week back in the old routine. (Altho, going out for a bbq ribs dinner has its appeal…)
Do not even get me started on moms. My mom, Far-Away Best Friend’s mom, Local Best Friend’s mom…they all compete to see who can push buttons the fastest. We’ve all learned to manage them, partly by living far away, partly by having people to commiserate with.
Yay for pics of tinyninjachef!
41 days is less than a month and 1/2, doggio. You can do it!
Survived one more day of work with less stress than most of the week. Yay!
I’m glad you’re in a better mood now BioRosie! Time will heal all wounds, or sumpin’…
Ribs sound good, chili sounds good, steak sounds good - I’m STARVING!
Mr Rebo will be home soon - and we will have shrimp scampi, Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce over three-cheese tortellini, and steamed broccoli. Everything is prepped and waiting on him to walk in the door. ten minutes after that we will pig out…
I was talking to him on the phone, and we were cutting up and laughing. I wanted to take a couple of aspirin to prevent a small headache from becoming a large headache. I accidently took two of Lucy’s antibiotic pills! :smack: I can’t believe I did that. Then i took two aspirin. Dumbshit.
and I love that you probably heard the phrase in your head in JA’s voice (just like I did)
I had an idea - if you and ACBG ever get tired of all that heat and [del]stupidity[/del] humidity, you could move to the Guylandt and open up a real Southern BBQ joint, serving all the best of the true Southern dishes that you’ve been concocting in your kitchen. There just aren’t any places up here to get real Southern food.
Kid & I went to my friend’s kid’s wake, tomorrow is the funeral. That will be the 4th funeral I’ve attended in the last year where the guest of honor was under 17.
Then we came home, and walked over to the Fest - our town’s summer ‘thing’ is going on this weekend. We ate corn dogs, corn on the cob, she had chocolate covered strawberry kabob, and then I got a bag of carnival popcorn for the walk home.
I put the AC on, even though it’s supposed to cool off later, it’s hot in here now, and at some point I have to try and sleep in here.
Haze - if I didn’t have other plans, I’d be on the beach, cuz cookies go great with beer.
Not to mention, most sibling pairs (or groups!) develop the game independently and spontaneously seconds after the first time they’re told “You’re not allowed to touch each other for the rest of the trip!”
I got my needle-stickies today, and now I have to wear the bracelet all weekend. If it comes off, they have to stick me again on Monday. :eek:
Everyone at work gave me hugs today when I left for the day. Well, okay not everybody, but everybody on my team, and my supervisor’s manager, and everyone on my old team (except the guys) who hadn’t already left for the day. It was sweet.
Oh, and does anyone here remember the Technosphere “game”/“model world”? I got an email today that it’s back up! And I actually have two critters still alive from when it was posted on the SDMB and we caused a mini-population explosion. Or well, two grand-child-critters, I’m assuming, from the II at the end of the names.
Driving Husband and his sibling play No Touching by waving a hand right in the other’s face, and saying, “I’m not touching! Can’t get mad! Not touching!”.
I haven’t thrown up, a friend came over and we went out for tea, and I think I’ll go to bed very soon. Mr. Lissar crashed two hours ago.
Great song, Meeks! I should ask your advice on some good popular Indian music to get – I’ve always loved it. Maybe it’s something subconscious from spending my first few years in India (I was born there and lived there till I was nearly 4), or maybe I just like it because I like it. But I have no clue who to start with if I want to add some to my collection. Any suggestions?
I got that scarf fringed, and I must say I did a good job on it. I’m so talented. But you’ll have to wait for me to do an MMP to see photos of it. I don’t want to spoil all the fun.
:eek: Did I know this? I’ll go you one better - e-mail me your address to
