Yay for you shortdrum! Now on to that bachelor’s degree! A degree of which you will be doubly proud. 
My mother told me she would scrape the frost off the freezer and eat it when she was pregnant with me. This probably explains a lot.
Scrambledawgs were good! MMMMMMM! I took two quarts of chili over to my next road over neighbors. Since it was still all warm they were gettin’ ready to chow down as I left.
Now we are in for the night.
PapaJohn made supper. Now it’s time to assume the TV position and chill. Yay.
Tomorrow we pack!
HAPPY CONGODAY!
That’s pretty much what’s going on here. I’m dealing with depression and Culinary Boy is recovering from alcoholism and PTSD. Everyone’s pretty much tired of our issues, so we’ve decided to remove ourselves from their lives and work on our issues separately. He’s finally taking advantage of the huge resources he can get as an OIF (Operation Iraqi Freedom) vet and I’m passing time until my appointment next week.
And to top it all off, Mysterio, el mal gato, peed on my bed last night. Through three blankets, two sheets, and the mattress pad where it was stopped by the pad’s plastic backing. Fortunately Clown washed and dried all my bedding today for me.
I was updating my info on facebook and noticed it said that Sweetie and I were in an “open relationship.”
What the hell? says I to myself as I change it to “in a relationship”
Suddenly my sisters start harassing me about how long it has said open relationship.
When Sweetie came in the house, I asked him, “Dude, did you know that facebook had us in an open relationship?”
He bursts out laughing.
That bastard changed it MONTHS AGO because I kept staying logged in on his computer.
I totally deserved it and it was friggen hilarious and totally embarrassing at the same time.
shortdrum good thing for sweetie you have a sense of humor. Maybe you might need to remind you that Iggie is also willin’ as sweetie is to keep the bed warm at night.
Speakin’ of warmin’ the bed we’re goin’ to do that shortly. Make of that what you will ya buncha gutter minds.
Nitey Nite Y’all!
Well, I don’t. Instead, I take a lot of chewable vitamin C every day, because the texture reminds me of laundry soap. It’s probably related to some nutritional deficiency, or possibly to pregnancy just being nuts.
I just iced a cake to look like a Monsters Inc. character. Mike, the little green guy, for reference. It’s not terrific but recognizable. I think that’s a win.
Let me just tell you that on all counts today is NOT my day. Somebody shoot me, please, and put me and the rest of the world out of my misery… :dubious::smack:
Catching up:
Happy [sub][sub]belated [/sub][/sub] Birthday shortdrum
Great pic of Iggy.
Sorry about the shed, FCM.
{{{{Sticks}}}}}
Hope the sinuses are better today, swampy.
I’m up, caffeinated, off to irk. Hockey tonight, with my “just friend”
and the 3 year old.
Good start to the day here! I got all the dirty clothes downstairs, sorted 'em, and started the first load. Then I turned on the water maker and the pump and heater, added salt, and left it to mix till it comes to temp so we can do a water change. And capped off my basement adventures by bringing up the 3 roller duffles so we can start packing… after the clothes are clean… and after *someone *gets out of bed.
At that point, I goofed. I forgot I had leftover pizza (yet the boxes were sitting on the counter and I was thinking that I should toss them in the trash) and instead made cheese on rye. How dumb is that?? Oh well, pizza for lunch then.
Last night we watched 3 episodes of The Tudors, and today, I want to watch the last 4 so we’ll finish out the series. I don’t want one or two hanging while we’re gone - I’ll forget too much. So today will be about packing, tidying, and 4 episodes of an Olde Englishe Soape Opera. For the record, Henry VIII was not a nice man.
It’s 28° according to my desktop gadget - I’m not venturing out in my robe to find out if it’s accurate. It’s winter - it can be 28° quite easily. That’s too cold for the “trust but verify” philosophy. 
Happy Saturday!
This morning is better. Mostly.
Did I mention the part yesterday where I slipped on a wet floor and my right leg did the twist? Yeah, not moving very well today.
It’s been a bad few days for me-- incredibly depressed and banged up from the fall. I swear I just keep finding more bruises outside and inside. It looks like my mom’s dementia and my disability situation are finally getting to me. Damned therapist doing his job. I was in a manageable level of denial. How dare he lead me into improved mental health?!
The good news is my amaryllis is blooming and beautiful. The mint my cat ate up has decided to survive and the weather outside is practically perfect-- sunny and 72.
Lili, should your doctor know about the cravings just in case you need supplements? One of my friends had twins a couple of years ago and it’s tough on the bod! She was on bedrest the last month or so and then had two eight pound boys, yikes. Maybe an advent calender will make the wait more fun. 
Happy Birthday you diploma diva Congo!
Today is going to be better; that’s an order! Sickies will spring up healthy, sheds will turn out to be not so bad, friends will come to their senses, and irk not so irksome.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienated! Thus I am not yawny. 'Tis 28 Amurrkin here with a predicted high of 58 and a fire weather warning. I guess this means since it’s dry and kinda windy, don’t go out and start any fires today. Well, ok. I don’t have any tendencies towards arson so I can do that.
{{{A[sup]2[/sup]}}} sounds like you could use that.
Ok, I should go make some brekkie. I feel better today. I don’t have any fever. Thus, my belief it’s all sinus related.
Happy Sattidy Y’all!
blurf
Pancakes, sausages and aigs consumed for brekkie. We’s stuffded! I think I shall require bein’ taken out for dindin.
too much happybirthdaying yesterday?
Last load in the washer. When it comes out of the dryer, I think packing will commence.
I’m kinda ticked - my sister gave me a nylon tote bag that folded up into a teensy tiny strawberry shaped bag. It would have been perfect for the trip. Except I can’t find it - I think we accidentally threw it away. grrrrrrrr
Leftover pizza has been ingested. It was unsatisfying. Such is life.
Caffeination is nearly complete. I need to get my hiney in gear and finish cleaning up around here for tonight’s shindig.
It’s a good thing I’ll still have a weekend left after tonight.
They’re still threatening us with snow. The problem with that is it’s pretty much hit or miss in this area. We have a convergence zone too, and they tend to get hit with it more that we do down south of it. However, once in awhile the weather gods decide to be capricious and flip that around and we get more.
At most, we’ll see a couple of inches, assuming we even really get any. It’s supposed to move in earlier than expected, but I still don’t see any white outside. That’s good, especially since we have pipples coming for dinner and fun.
Well, I must finish the cleaning. I realized too, that I forgot something at the store, so I need to make a final dash down there to pick that up too. It’s a casual gathering, so I will be serving food on red solo plates. I don’t have enough plates in my regular dinner ware to serve the amount of people coming, and I refuse to take out my handwash dinnerware.
Tote bag has been found! It was under the hutch with 8 cat toys. Gee, I wonder who was responsible?? I am no longer grrrrrrrr.
Laundry is done, kitchen is tidied, carpet is (sorta) vacuumed, and I should probably start packing.
After I do a sudoku.
We’re goin’ out to eat at that paragon of fine dinin’ known as Three Squares Diner in a bit. We are gourmets, we are! I see a hamburger steak in my near future.
Yeah, we got class!
I wish. No, it was really frustrating actually. I woke up really early (for me) yesterday to start putting myself on a normal schedule. I tried to go to bed at 11:30, with the help of 2 sleeping pills. I finally fell asleep (on the couch) just as Sweetie’s alarm went off at 4:15. So I moved back to the bed as he got up to get ready for work…and couldn’t fall asleep.
Ginger wouldn’t stop barking all morning. I finally did get back to sleep around 5 but she kept waking me up with her barking and barking and barking and then as soon as she stopped and went to sleep, Holly started barking and barking and barking. Iggy and I were both quite annoyed with them.
I finally fell asleep for real around 10am and just now woke up so my normal sleep is all kaput now.
Gotta pick up the Jeep at 8 tonight. $565 for labor and the parts he had to buy and $1500 worth of work is done. YAY! It better friggen pass inspection on Monday because if it doesn’t, I’m screwed.
