Hockey tailgating ain’t cheap. 😉 He’s young, married with a kid, and has hopes for the future ------ in his situation I would have jumped as well. It caught us by surprise because we knew he had applications out but he was basically interviewed and hired on the spot and just basically quit yesterday. He starts the new job Tuesday and he and the family wanted to do the holiday weekend. PS – **MOOOOM** - had to do a pallet of boxes for Frostburg (or Frostville - one of the two) Maryland and thought of you. It isn’t even close but at least it was Maryland. I think one of our other Sortation Centers has your region. ---

Work was busy. The cops are already grabbing people on the highway. I got one of my favorite players to [sign my jerseys](http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e260/dogbutler/Mobile%20Uploads/1441418771523_zpsw2mlg69n.jpg). Dinner was chicken and broccoli stir fry with noodles, and a Ghost Pepper Five Spice sauce. I’m off Sunday and Monday. 🙂 > [@EmilyG](#): > > I might take the day off too.

The miniature emperor catered dinner tonight. I called, DH fetched. Attitude Kid is no longer my problem. I suspect he’s in for a few rude shocks in the new department. It’s nearly all-male (although the one female member of that department is at least as mentally tough as any of the guys), and I suspect that if he throws the 'tude around too much, there’ll be a parking lot “discussion” in his future. I do feel some sympathy for the one man remaining in my department, since the poor guy’s so badly outnumbered :). He’s a good guy, though. I’ve been unreasonably tired for several days now. Should be doing homework, may decide that sleep is more urgent, homework not being due until Sunday. ---

\*\*kopek \*\*- Frostburg is about as far from me as any place in MD can get - \*\*sari \*\*is much closer. I think my guidance counselor in HS wanted me to apply to the university there, but I had to be a commuting student due to total lack of $$$. Weird awakening today - I heard Higgs fussing, then I saw a light on. Had I been more awake, I’d have remembered when I got up to pee, there was no light on… :eek: Turns out, the lamp that I’d been futzing with earlier this week finally decided to permit the electrical connection in the switch to be made. I bought this lamp in '83, before I even met **FCD** - I think it may be time to replace the socket unit. Add that to my Lowe’s list. \*\*FCD \*\*may be going on a bike ride today. I’m going to try to seed the bare patch in the front yard. I’ll launder a load of whites also, but since I don’t hang those out, I can do that any time. I need to empty the dishwasher, too - we’re out of clean teaspoons - a crisis of epic proportions. Or not. Sometime today, I’ll call my baby girl and wish her happies - can’t believe she’s 30 already! Happy Saturday! ---

We have breakfasted and I’ve seeded the front yard. The sprinkler is going on part of it, and in an hour, I’ll move it to water the other area. And once I’ve rested, I’ll toss our whites into the washer. For now, tho, I need to rest and cool down. Doggone, it’s muggy!! ---

I accidentally defrosted a pork chop instead of chicken last night, so today’s brunch was blackened pork chop with tomato, onion and cilantro omelet, with sough dough toast. Not bad for the “mistakes and markdown menu”. The sky is deciding whether to clear up or storm. ---

The only one that stands out for me was 6th grade, when a teacher none of us have ever seen before enters the room. Of course, we all think it’s strange that we start school with a substitute teacher - “I’m not a substitute; I’ll be your permanent teacher. The teacher you were told would be teaching this class isn’t teaching, for whatever reason.” It only really stands out because we never did find out what happened to the original. ---

Howdy Y’all! In from the cee-mint pond. Others are still out there but da bear has had enough outside time for the day. Plus, it’s beginnin’ to cloud up a bit so we may have rain in another hour or so. OYKW will fire up the grill in a little while and grill up burgers. Yes, I am allowin’ him to use the sacred grill. For moi, however it’s chill out in da cave time.
