Nothing like waking up to cat pee on the pillow. Taz, Bastard #1 on my list, decided to relieve himself on my pillow while I was in the bathroom. Yes, their box didn’t get cleaned last night - we forgot. But doggone!! Oh well, it’s an excuse to replace that pillow - it’s gotten kinda lumpy.
Stoopit cat.
SIL’s mother and her friend are meeting us at the boat around 1 or so. I need to make some sammiches and get some beverages for the trek. It’s going to be tight, tho - 7 people - we’ve never had such a crowd. I’d like to volunteer not to go, but I don’t think that’s an option.
I’ve also got to do a load of unders this morning and get them on the line before we go. But I’ll be nice and wait a bit longer so the kids downstairs can sleep. They were up late tidying for the visitors.
Well, not the way I wanted to start the day, but it can only get better, right? <sigh>
I’d set the alarm for 8am - but I stirred to change position around 6:45, and in cat that means “breakfast”. So, I am up, medicated, fed, and am currently caffeining.
Today I will finish clearing off stuff from my desk so I can st up my new iMac.
Laterz
Well, FCM instead of the cat-pee wake-up scenario you could have awakened at 5:20 (alarm was set for 5:30) to edit two sections of a request for proposals that I promised my boss would be done before I left. I’m so proud that I’m actually running 10 minutes ahead of schedule! Go me!
I will however leave the ironing moutain till tomorrow.
Got a Birthday thingy tonight for a work friend so I need to forage some food as we aren’t eating til closer to 10 and I am starving then must shower and get purty for tonights shenanigens…
Sorry db all cleaning supplies are put away for the near future…
Laundry out on the line. For the record, one can fit a *lot *of undergarments and socks in a single load. But I had enough space, only because I let most of the items sag rather than hang them fully spread out. As long as they dry, I don’t care…
**FCD **has left for the marina. I’ve got to shower and dress and make sammiches. I also need to run the vacuum cleaner. And I’ve got to stop on the way to get ice and 2 new pillows. Guess I should get in gear, huh?
caffeine has been consumed - shortly I will recycle it. Then I’ll get “fakey dressed” (ratty pants & t-shirt, perfect for getting all dusty and stuff) and clear off this desk to make room for my new toys (plural - I also bought an iPod Touch)
I’m up and caffienating too. Actually, I was rather rudely awakened by my husband’s alarm clock at 3:30 this morning, then it kept going off every 15 minutes. Instead of him just turning the damn thing off, he kept hitting snooze.:rolleyes:
I finally gave up trying to sleep and rolled out of bed between 5:30 and 6:00. I came downstairs with the intention of making coffee, but ended up dozing for awhile. I’m fully up now though, and have my cup of joe in hand.
I need to hit the grocery store and get the fixings for pasta salad. I’m taking that to a friend’s party tonight at 7:00. I don’t think I’ll get a chance to get to the mall. Hopefully, I will tomorrow.
It’s beautifuly and sunny out again, but they say it’s only going to be in the 80s today. That’s good, because it 95 degrees in my neighborhood yesterday. That’s too hot.
Ack! Need to mow lawn and move a few plants around. Also clean the fridge. Then shower and vacuum and mop and such. Couple of minor items to pack, but that’s in.
Oh and need to do the on-line check-in. Guess I’ll do that now.
I did the weekly cricket run, picked up a few things at the store (except gel insoles–dammit, I need to write things down), cleaned the catbox, and swept the house. I need to start thinking about getting dressed for work soon. Day off tomorrow finally!
Howdy Y’all! Miss me? Like BBBobbio said, I’ve been modemless. I was sent a new one and it didn’t work either. :mad: Now I have a new and according to the nice tech lady that showed up (the other four days somebody was supposed to show up did not happen. Medieval aint’ the word for my displeasure with ATT DSL about that!) today, it’s a super duper one. Anywho it works! YAY!!!
I did indeed promise a co-worker a lapdance for her birthday next Thursday. I have decided on Lou Rawl’s You’ll Never Find as the music. She thinks I am kiddin’ about it.
Oh and if BBBobbio is pregnant, I was in… ummm… Tasmania when it happened so it ain’t mine!
I don’t remember a whole lot cause I sorta skimmed but…
Yays, boos, hugs, trouts, chitlins, noogies and howyou doin’s as needed.
Yay Swampy! I missed you! I want to see pictures of this lap dance that you’re going to perform!
I’ve managed to take a shower and am waiting for the hubby to finish up in the bathroom so I can dry my hair and pick up the needed ingredients for the pasta salad I’m bringing to tonight’s shindig.
I guess, other than that, I’ve got nothing else going on. I’ll need to get up and pack tomorrow, along with hitting the mall. I’ll have to hit the sack early tomorrow because I’m getting up at 2:00 am Monday morning. What sucks about that is I won’t be able to sleep and I’ll have a hell of a time getting up.
Howdy! And a big welcome back for Swampy! I don’t remember much either, but I do recall that Taz was an extremely bad kitty this morning as he peed on FCM’s pillow :eek: at least he waited until she got up to do it, but still … very bad kitteh!
Okay — my bathing suit pieces came in yesterday afternoon. And they fit, comfortably! I am very pleased … well, I shouldn’t say pleased really but better that they fit than be too tight. And now the ball is back in -my- court; it’s up to me to get to the pool. And that is the plan, to go to the indoor pool and start walking in the water. I’ll eventually start doing water aerobics, but am taking it slowly, that’s how out of shape I am. But thinking positively.
I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Yay for Rosie’s new Mac! Spaz, be careful around the crazy folks, please! Taters, have a safe trip to San Antonio; my brother is there this weekend only, for a drum corps show I think.
It is gorgeous weather out - low 80s, low humidity. If only it would continue into August like this!
Whew - long day!! For the record - 7 people on our boat is too many! We motored up the river a ways, then back. Afterwards, we came here and SIL showed his mom and her friend around their apartment. Then we went to Bert’s for a quick supper.
I’m beat, and sticky icky after the day in the sun. Gonna shower soon, then crash. Oh, I did get a new pillow, so sleeping should be comfy. I hope… I need a good sleep. And no cat pee. Welcome back, swampasaurus!! Did you go thru withdrawal??
Well, that was a welcome anticlimax. Had the Coming Out talk with my parents this afternoon. I asked mom if she had figured out what has been going on with me lately, she said “yes I know”. I said "that I’m in love with C? she said “I’m not stupid”. I then told her I was moving in with C, then everything went back to normal. I don’t know what I was afraid of.
I have a gay cousin; he was never really in the closet, but he also saw no reason to broadcast the news. I knew for 20 years he was gay.
My grandmother’s funeral was the scene of a minor scandal amongst some of the more conservative family members when they figured everything out, but overall the prevailing attitude was “So Jeff is gay, big deal. Let’s tell another story about Mabel…”
But thinking positively.
