I’m up, and getting caffeinated. Waiting to hear from my husband, about when he’ll be getting home. I suppose I should be scooping litterboxes, but that will have to wait until my caffeinating is complete. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 43 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 75 and sunny for the day. Great weather for the big partay over to the church house this evenin’! Tomorrow and Monday, however, shall be rainy. At least it ain’t snow. 😛 **doggio** I went beddy bye while the last load was in the dryer. This mornin’ I have put that laundry away and now have the sheets from the bed in the washer. They will finish shortly and go into the dryer. They don’t take long to dry so I shall get them out and back on the bed before leavin’ for the church house in a little while. **StickyBuns** yay for RT bein’ home! Another thing that is happenin’ today over to St. Pat’s is a 5k run and fun walk called Lap A Leprechaun. I like the name. It starts at nine and the runners will have brekkie at eight at the church house. I was asked to be there at seven this mornin’ to help with the cookin’, but I politely declined bein’ as I did not want to be there all day in the kitchen. I figure there’s enough people with the ability to make sausage bizkits, scrambled aigs and grits without my presence. Even still I got a call about it last night and again said no. I trust by now it’s been figured out bein’ as it is 7:45 in the A. of M. as I post. Ok, I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy is hongry. Then I need to get the sheets done and on the bed and purtify before headin’ out the door. Gonna be a long and busy day, but a fun one. Happy Sattidy Y’all! ---

\*\*swampy \*\*- do you have only one set of sheets?? 😕 My towels should be done, but they’re not. I had to reset the timer - I’m guessing because it’s a big load, it got a little unbalanced or something. They’ll be on the line soon, tho, and I can get a load of jeans in the washer. Still not happy about the stoopit snow. :mad: Not mad enough to move back to FL, but not happy right now. Stoopit snow. ---

Happy Saturday! Looks to be a nice day. Wish me luck, I’m getting ready to head out. I’m hoping to look at 3 today and 2 are HomePath Homes. Maybe I’ll get lucky! ---

Good luck **Sari**. Got an emergency call from Grande Casa de Rock as a wakeup, technical fixes needed and were given. Not a good way to start a Caturday but it is good job insurance. I have to get rolling, Caffinating and such. Back in a bit. **Jim** ---

I went to a concert last night. I wonder if I should go out and get some coffee or something. Or sit here contemplating existence and pondering whether inevitability is inevitable… yeah, I haven’t had any caffeine yet today. Heh. ---

Stoopit clouds. :mad: I’ve got 3 loads of laundry on the lines and the sun has disappeared. It’s supposed to be sunny and warm today - no rain or snow till tomorrow. I am not amused. _grrrrrrrrrrr_ ---

The overnight low was in the low 40s, so I decided that I would sleep outside in another test of my arctic sleeping bag set, using the lightweight portion for the first time. I was snug and vociferously sawing logs when, at 0300, I was violently slobbermauled by Freya who was supposed to be in the yard peeing. Boxers must have a genetic aversion to anyone sleeping in unusual places with their heads covered. :dubious: ETA: I want the old rolleyes back. ---

Not a cake, but I have a blackberry/raspberry cobbler in the oven! I’m getting ready to make some bread, too. ---

Pineapple upside down cake in the oven. All laundry is done being washer. Most of my whites are in the dryer- I ran out of line space and I couldn’t have fit our unders out there. I did hang my white jeans, but that’s it. And now I’m off to figure out if we can mass-order the filters for **FCD** ’s respirator. Good times… ---

I drank a cake today well not really it wasn’t really a cake it was a medium-sized vanilla coffee that tasted like a cake. There remains music to be written, so I’d better get to it. ---

Just a tip - making a pineapple upside down cake with pineapple chunks isn’t that great an idea. I think crushed pineapple is the best choice, tho rings are OK. Regardless, it smells yummerrific in here!!! Time to fold the underwear… ---

I was in a bar this morning! _ **At 9:30 AM!** _ _ **I’d not had breakfast, and I drank two drafts of Guinness!** _ _ **And I feel great! Happy St. Patrick’s day, the parade was great!** _ Well, yes, I do realize the actual day isn’t until Monday, but I couldn’t have Guinness right by the parade route on Monday.
