I have to watch for them and the wild turkeys a couple of miles from my apartment oon city streets.
Fixing to get purtified for heathenization in a couple of minutes. I’ll hav to take surface streets in again this morning since they’re still working on the interstate bridge.
Up and Blurf. Not much to do today except laundry and getting ready to go back to irk tomorrow.
This year, they were in my front yard eating my hostas!!! But they had the decency to run off if I opened a door. On the road, they just get stupid.
My native New England friends used to tell me (when I lived in Florida) that it got dark here at 3:45 PM. And I’d say, oh come on, you’re totally exaggerating!
Not really.
So in November, I’m the crazy person walking around outside at lunchtime to try to see a little bit of sun.
In other news, I can’t wait until the first freeze kills off the ragweed so I can open the windows at night!
Just finished making some egg salad for breakfasts this week, and I loaded and ran the dishwasher. Yay for productivity!!
Ugh. Was going to get a lot done today, but then I got a phone call which caused my sister to be in a crappy mood, so now I can’t get as much done. (long story that I don’t feel like explaining.)
The phone call was about a possible job for me. I start tomorrow, but I was warned that I’d be on my feet all day, so I don’t know if/how that’ll work out, but I’ll try it out.
The engaged duo are winding being as spoiled as the dawgs. 
Howdy Y’all! Home from deheathenization and N.O.L. is cookin’ as I post. However…
:eek: I have been remiss… :eek:
<AHEM> CLEARIN’ THROAT <AHEM>

Happy Buttery Day!!!
I helped my sweetie prime his work table - once it’s dry, we’ll apply the top coat. We also discussed his shop layout including the new machine and he seems to be happy with our conclusion. His shop sure has gotten small!!!
Leftover pizza for lunch. Other than that, laziness…
All righty. We’ve moved the mill and painted the top coat on the new machine table. It looks like the layout is going to work well, altho the jointer is probably going to be consigned to a rolling stand and moved around as necessary.
Hope I didn’t hurt my back moving the mill - it’s a tad achy. Getting old sucks sometimes…
I made a nummy N.O.L. of BLTs and fries. Then nappage occured. Any thoughts of productivity have ben quashed and vanquished.
Just got up. Must do homework today. At least there’s plenty of leftover pizza.
Thank you all for the birthday wishes. Makes an old girl feel good it does.
I’m having a grumpy day today.
I’m not sure why everything is getting on my nerves. Even the son is plucking my last nerve, I feel like we are speaking two different languages today.
I ask him a simple question and instead of giving me a simple answer I have to give him a paragraph of explanation.
Fucking WORD is getting on my last nerve too. He has to submit a paper today and I am helping him with WORD and formatting. It keeps changing the font mid page, goes from times new roman 12 double spaced to colibri 11 single spaced. I couldn’t figure out how to indent the second line (hanging indent) of a cite on the cites page, then realized I was following the directions for the wrong version of WORD. Guess that’s why it wasn’t working. I thought if you indicated that it is the works cited page that WORD supposed to do that for you.
Anyway, that is all done now. He has to polish it up a bit more and he can submit it.
Happy Birthday Butters!!!
So I’ve been spending my day doing that which I wish I didn’t have to - I woke up late, not feeling well, with a phone call from my friend informing me my Explorer had been vandalized. Sure enough, both side view mirrors had been ripped off.
I remember being awakened by some loud noises at 2am, but they stopped and I went back to sleep.
So after a chat with police I began to review the video… I’ve mentioned I have security cameras, didn’t I? At 1:58 am two muscular white males with short hair cuts walked by my truck, reversed course, damaged it then walked away. Thing is they kinda looked familiar…
See there is a house full of US Navy Midshipmen just down the street. And we’re all familiar with them. So at 3 this afternoon when they walked by again, I watched them go into the house I suspected. A quick call to the cop again then ten minutes later I had two shaking midshipmen offering apologies at my door.
I’m cutting them loose for damages; I will get it fixed, they reimburse me. It’s their one pass they’ll get from me. Part of me wanted to screw 'em but the apologized real fast and they were contrite, so I’ll let it go today. They did learn a valuable lesson about cameras though…
Middies don’t have to live on campus?? I’m sure you’re aware that reporting events like this to a sailor’s CO gets you pretty quick results - something to file away for future reference in case you weren’t aware.
I’m assuming alcohol was involved??
You’re nicer than I would have been 2gig
The are Navy Midshipmen, they should be held to a higher standard of behavior. I have a low tolerance for people who can’t leave other people’s property alone. There was absolutely no point in what they did except pure disrespect and meanness. If everybody would just tend to their own business and leave other people’s stuff alone the world would be a much nicer place.
Then again, I’m feeling bitchy today, I doubt I would cut anybody any slack.
The carnival was fun. 10 days till an actual home game, though.
Happy Birthday, Butters!!!
giggity,
**Midget, good luck with the job.
Very quick results and it would not be good for them. You probably did them a huge favor there gig. Stupid people.
We have been doing laundry and napping and cleaning today. Has been a good day!
Oh I know, and the cop knows, and the mids know. I was thoroughly prepared for my pound of flesh but they owned up immediately,offered anything (including chores), and were contrite.
That said I am pissed off. I don’t need to feel terrorized by young future Navy officers. The excuse: we were drunk; the cop, myself and my friend who found the damage laughed that one off and I gave him my contact info on my business card that says Tugig / Asst. Chief Photog / WUSA9 and reminded them I had really cool video in my possession.
If it hadn’t gone down like that then yes, ton of bricks was in order.
**Mom **mids have weekends off and a number of them shack up in houses in town during off time. This is one of them.
