Can I help it if your entire house needs an overhaul? Huh? Huh? Huh? Shoulda thought about that before you got them fancy schmansy new countertops. 😛 ETA: First on three! ---

Counter looks bad with the wall color? That’s what kitchen appliances and cutting boards are for. ---

Yay for **gotti’s** cousin being home! I just got home from water aerobics. Now it’s time to start compiling a list of the things that I need to do in order to dig myself out of this giant hole that I feel I’m in. Lists always make me feel better. ---

Evening. Both Monday and Tuesday have had great amounts of suckage so I am drinking to much wine on a school night. **Fcm** you need to get painting as ‘we’ being the stylish MMP cannot have uncoordinated countertops/wall combinations in our midst. 😃 ---

Not feeling too well, but not really ill. Also seriously stressed out and heading for a round with depression, I think. Fixating on rather morbid topics for my TV watching, such as zombies and Jonestown. ---

Shhh! I am posting from irk instead of doing any irk. I’m waiting for three batches of assignments to come back from printing so they will require large amounts of work when they arrive, thus I am taking a short break while I still can. I’m having a short week at irk anyway, off to sunny Scotland on Friday so that will be a fun drive… In other news, it was -5 when I left home this morning. The cats were refusing to go anywhere that didn’t involve either a bed or a radiator. Can’t say I blame them either. ---

Must be a morning for feeling ick. I AM going to feel better, though. No other choice as I am subbing all day and going to class all night. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 66 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 71 and maybe rain. Tomorrow’s forecast says a low of 30, a high of 51 and rain. Winter returns! **{{{Nettie and Sticky}}}** hope y’all feel better soon. I’m just sure **MOOOOOOM** was up all night rectifyin’ the new counters/_horrible_ wall color situation. 😃 **doggio, Spidey, Ethi** see y’all can get away with it as the straight guy mafia is only concerned with the absence of beer, stuff to make sammiches with and large screen teevees. Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy says it’s starvin’. Then, alas, irk purtification must commence. Happy Hump Day Y’all! ---

No, I was not up all night painting. 😛 So neener neener on you! 😛 \*\*FCD \*\*is on his way to PA. Poor guy didn’t finish the kitchen drains till nearly 8 last night. He had to make a just-before-closing run to the local True Value for a part, and he forgot his wallet. :smack: But the woman at the checkout recognized him as a frequent customer so she told him he could come back and pay the next day! How nice is that?? I’ve got the packaging in my car and I’ll stop on my way home and settle up. Had she not done that, he’d have had to come home, get his wallet, then drive all the way to Lowe’s, wasting more than an hour… I guess that’s an advantage of dealing local in a small town. 😃 One not-so-good thing yesterday - he’d set a glass of coke where the cat knocked it on the carpet. For whatever reason, he didn’t spray it with a cleaner - he just tried to suck it up with our carpet clean. When I got home, I soaked it down, then ran the cleaner over it, but the stain was set. Today, I guess I’ll see if OxyClean really works like the TV ads say. I’ll mix up a paste and work it into the stain, then take the cleaner to it again. Worst case scenario - an area rug… And if cleaning that rug doesn’t totally wear me out, I’ll sort and put away the kitchen stuff that’s still strewn all over the dining room and green bedroom. Anybody wanna pop in tonight for a tidying party??? Happy Wednesday anyway. _\_ ---

Me too. Need to start clearing the path so they can deliver my new washer on Friday. Good opportunity to organize better. Hugs to all who need 'em. I’ve been reading along, but distracted with…life. More hugs. GT ---

Even if bribed with beer! **MOOOOOOM** says “tidy” but what she means is you’ll be paintin’ the great room and installin’ new tile in the bathrooms and kitchen. **Guano** FWIW I completely agree. I don’t know what she does (singer I think?) but she is almost as skeery as Lady GaGa. :eek: ---

Well, **GuanoLad** , kids these days… I remember my mom just ranting in disgust about the Beatles and their long hair!!! :eek: But, yeah, I feel like there is less talent and more “packaging” (for want of a better word) when it comes to performers these days. I would bet with the right handlers, even I could manage to be at least a one-hit-wonder today. Not that I expect old, lumpy women to find much of a market among the young… \*\*doggio \*\*- what kind of beer and what time can you get here?? 😉 Since I’m out of real work to do, I’m doing some housekeeping stuff - getting a data package organized, printing off a set of drawings from the latest project, and thinking about how early I can cut out today. Seriously, unless someone gets me a task, I’m out of things I can do, and I’d rather surf at home in my fuzzy slippers than here where the connection tends to be rather slow. My poor sweetie called from the road - he’s exhausted, and from the looks of the weather radar, he’d headed into an icy area. I’m going to worry till I hear he’s safely in Johnstown.
