Good Morning everyone! or is it evening? I’m doing an overnight stocking shift, so time is a little screwy for me today.
Ali, I like the Dr. Who look. I did Sherlock Holmes when I was eight.
FCM, I have some Edy’s coffee ice cream I can email you. Would that help?
Yay! new keyboard works! no more sticky Ks, Js, and arrow keys! Yay! :):):):):):)
sob I know! I thought I could get away with it! sob I’m sorry, I will never slack I my geek references again. I promise!
No need for tears, we’ll just demote you from geek to fan 
Good morning drive-by. Long day at work, then out with friends last night. One more long day at work then a long weekend. Yay!

I’m home from work, time for a nap before the game.
busy day today - got the oil guy coming to (hopefully) fix the wiring problem, the sprinkler guy to turn off the system for the season (yes I procrastinate, why do you ask), gotta do some last minute things for the show tonight, including putting everything in a tote so I don’t forget stuff, get my hair done, clean out the car so my friend has a place to sit, and head over to the hall. I will be exhausted by the end of the night - good thing I took tomorrow off, too.
I liked the costumes. ali, even if rosie thinks you’re a slacker.
Urk. Slept for eleven hours, almost (went to bed at nine) and now my head is filled with gunk. I’m going to start mainlining tea as soon as the kettle boils. Then I’ll wash the dishes and call Driving Husband and see if he’s up for a spot of Christmas shopping. We’re visiting the inlaws in two weeks.
Mr. Lissar learned how to saute zuchinni and yellow peppers, and heat up pulled pork yesterday. I think tomorrow I’ll try to get him to make a fritatta mostly on his own.
Good morning! It’s pre-Friday, and I expect things will be a bit busy 'round work, especially since our tech will be in a meeting all day with bigwigs from one of our major clients. In fact, he just called my extension. “Hey, you wanna dial me back? I need to adjust the volume on my ringer.” Our ringer volumes can’t be adjusted unless the phone is actually ringing. Go figure…
I’m a little annoyed this morning. Now, see, a week ago I came across an auction for a pair of Shure E3 IEMs; the auction was ending shortly and I hadn’t received a response from the seller as to whether or not he’d wait just a little over a week (8 days, in fact) for payment. So I bid and won figuring he probably would. Admittedly I should not have done this – my bad, and it turns out the seller didn’t want to wait, so he said he’d sell it to the next highest bidder and invited me to bid on another one he had up for auction, or alternatively if I wanted to wait he’d put a BIN up for me the following Friday. I asked him what the BIN would be but he never answered. Fine. I bid on his newly listed pair. Now, I had some auctions up myself, which ended and were paid for by Tuesday so I had the cash to pony up for those Shures. Last night, I won them from the same seller as last week – and $25 cheaper than last week’s auction. Cool! Karma is still working. At least, 'til this morning, when the wifey called me up on my way to work and told me he wanted to know when we were going to pay for the first set of headphones. :smack: I’m going to have to straighten this out when I get home tonight. Good thing I save E-Mails…
doggio I forgot to mention that part of my outing last night was to a Dollah Tree. I bought stuff. It’s in the same little shopping center as the Chinese restaurant we went to and we had a few minutes to kill before attacking the buffet. I thought about you.
Ok, off to do stuff to get ready for next week.
Okay, guys- do I want my parents to get me a vacuum cleaner for Christmas? A Dyson? It’s insanely expensive. I have no carpets, and a vacuum cleaner that only works for corners, which involves a lot of kneeling and trotting around the house on my knees.
They’re frigging expensive.
Well, you may have carpeting some day and aren’t they supposed to last for forever?
Mr. Anachi and I finally decided last night we are going with carpeting for the master bedroom. We looked at every kind of wood flooring sample out there and had actually picked a lovely pecan that was within our budget. A final scratch test on the sample failed miserably. I cannot have flooring that will be scratched by dog toenails and anything else harder than bare feet. Soooooo, back to the drawing board.
ali, cute costumes. And may I say you are a very good looking young man.
bumba, ain’t enough to make ya say “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore?”
tool, check out petfinder.org for medium-size dogs looking for a loving home.
Tupug
We’ve got some kind of bamboo-looking laminate, and if the lights hit it right, you can tell tiny cat feet have scratched it all to hell.
I don’t care much, because as I said, the light has to hit it right. Maybe it’d look worse if I mopped.

I’m making folks who parked in our lot to visit the nursing home next door move. That’s right folks. I am throwing out people who came to visit their infirm loved ones in the nursing home! MUAHAAHAAHAA!!!. I am heartless! I am callous! I am tired of people doing this! Besides, yard guy can’t clean out the parking area on that side of the building with those cars parked there.
Fear the pure evilness that is dabear!
Mr. Lissar and I had a conversation about him geting me a vacuum cleaner. His prediction was that if he were stupid enough to get his wife a vacuum cleaner for Christmas, he would have a negative life expectancy. Smart guy.
runs away from evil swampy rays
Through the Secret Underground Bus Network, I have dispatched 47 big yellow school buses to park at the swamplot.
Lets hide behind this Ficus and observe…
You’re still wielding the pitchspoon. Pure EEEEEEEEEVIL would be having their cars towed without warning.
Morning! I had a hard decision in the kitchen: tea or hot chocolate. The guy cooking his oatmeal voted for hot chocolate, so I let him twist my arm.
Last night, I started another reversible cable scarf, with 3 cables. On fingering weight yarn. I must be nuts. The yarn is burgundy and very soft that I pulled from my stash and went ooh, pretty. After I started knitting, I read the label: 60% baby alpaca, 30% merino, 10% cashmere, which made me laugh. I only paid $2.98/skein for it and it’s soft and has a nice hand and drape, so I don’t really care too much about the content. I think dragging the alpaca/merino roving through the guard hairs must be the cashmere component, though. Hey, they never said it was good cashmere, just that it came from a goat.
I darn you to heck! So There! 
That’ll teach you to mess with the spork o’ doom.
First, the ficus is shedding so I can see you. Second, I have single handedly taken on the Dougherty County School System MBG equivalent over parking busses in our lot and I WON!!! You don’t skeer me. So There!
Who will be next to face the dreaded spork o’ doom?
I don’t use a pitchspoon. I use a pitchspork.
