Why doesn’t **Nava** have a nickname? Love the dress **Big Kitty** I know what you mean about sleeves. Gotta have them. ---

I actually worked today. Not because I wanted to, or didn’t want to - mostly because the Master HR Computer has most of my crap so screwed up that if I’m going to do their work for them I may as well get paid for it. If we have any Mumpers in Seattle I may have a list of names who need their asses kicked. Also found out today that the lady who used to be the co-owner of the Isaly’s we visited all the time passed away. Cancer. But it was fairly pain-free which can really be thought of as a blessing. And on the lighter side, its Sharknado Day. Which, if this was truly a civilized country, would be a National Holiday. ---

Lazy day. Messed around this morning doing some paper crafting. Went for my riding lesson and I cantered. I’m very proud of myself. Dinner was sallit and a chicken breast with pinko and park cheeze. I bought a bag of chips ::hangs head:: and discovered the Harry Potter marathon on teepee, so I’m in my chair. With chips and grape Gatorade. ---

It has that rare quality so few dresses have these days: _ **sleeves** _! (Well, it comes with a shrug jacket that has sleeves.) And it was on sale so I got a pair of earrings to go with it. Now I just need shoes and some new pantyhose and I’ll be set. > > I also discovered that TJ Maxx sucks. Everything looked like a burlap sack held up with spaghetti straps. Pretty dress! And happy birthday to the birthday kiddos in the MMP! I think bobbio and some swampybear character? ---

Someone please kill me now. I’m stuck having dinner with my husband’s sister, who can best be described with words that are not allowed on the SDMB, and his stepfather, whose relationship has been described in previous MMPs. Throw in two whiny, unlikable children, and I want to chew my own arm off to get out of here. I’d rather work a radio next to Donald Trump than spend any more time here. ---

Work was much more peaceful. Guess the crazies hadn’t sobered up or made bail by close. A bunch of storms went north of the city. It’s nice out. Rockin’, could you feign death, or do Jell-O shots? Nice dress, **Cats**. 🙂 **Butters** , dunno why **Nava** doesn’t have a nickname. Happy Birthday **BBBobbio**!!! ---

I’m trying to feign death. I do have to be up early, so there’s that, and if we’d taken two cars, I’d be able to use that as an excuse, but we didn’t, so I’m stuck until my husband is good and ready to leave. ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > We had tboomers move through that have brought the temp down to 81 Amurrkin. Nice! However they did cause me to snooze out in the recliner with the teevee on for almost an hour and a half. I have a feelin’ sleepage will not come easy tonight. Oh well, it ain’t like I _have_ to be somewhere tomorrow. 😃 > > We have a motion on the floor… > All in favor of **Nava** startin’ us off tomorrow say “AYE”. > > **AYE!!!** Shouldn’t that be sí? 😉 ---
