Just woke up from nappage, I forgot to take the glasses off before naptime, and it took me a few minutes to find em in the recesses of the couch.
doggio and cookie Frankly I’m tired of your shenanigans.
Happy St. Joseph’s Day! I’m wearing red and will have ravioli and Italian sausage with homemade sauce from the freezer. I wish I had an Italian bakery nearby so I could get zeppole.
The big news in my family is that my son and his wife adopted another rescue dog! 
I don’t have photos yet, but she sounds beautiful. They think she’s a chocolate lab/hound mix and is very sweet. Best of all, she immediately befriended the also-sweet but negative-IQ border collie, which will make their oldest dog (age 13-14) happy, as she’s at the “Get off my lawn” stage of life. I’m so happy and can’t wait to meet her!
doggio, can’t wait to see photos of your new family member(s) when you adopt one.
I opted to stay home and ice the knee today, and it’s feeling a lot better. I showered and got right back in my pj’s 'cause I’m all chill like that. Also, pj’s are loose and light cotton–better for the itching.
Punning is an illness, and you all need a cure. I hear there’s a program in Greece.
Hippie and Ms.strong text Owl, I’d never heard of Spearmint Rhino. Now I have to look it up. Sounds like a good place for kids parties.
FCM, sorry about the terrible book. Was it published by a vanity press? I’ve ordered a few books from Amazon that turned out to be self-published and were too awful to read. Then again, some publishers turn out dreck. A former prudish, snobby English teacher colleague got a couple of really terrible steamy books published.
Hugs to all. See you in the next MMP!
There’s a good chance Grandma Boo is being whooshed here but the Spearmint Rhino that hippie was talking about is a topless ‘gentlemen’s club’. Strippers, pole dancing etc.
The Spearmint Rhino is most definitely NOT a place for kids!
Hippie is correct about The Rhino. There’s one about 5 minutes from me, close to Rivers Casino.
Evening all. Got to the gym and pedaled off about 600 of the calories I ate for lunch, so of course I came home and replaced them with some ‘what’s in the freezer that I can microwave’ dinner, so at least I’m not gaining anymore weight. Still pretty cold for here, heading to 22F tonight and the mid-50’s for tomorrow, so indoors is where I’ll be, except for soccer. First practice is 5:30-6:30pm for all the U10 girls (94 signed up and counting!!) so might get that ‘base’ underwear I used in Antarctica out.
nellie, hope we can see pictures of the doggy soon; sounds like a wonderful mix. And glad the knee is doing better.
Cat Glove, (mostly) good news for husband-unit (I think, don’t know most of the terminology). And congrats to the Spartans, looks like they have a tough Kansas State team next.
hippie, I imagine a lot of your (male) colleagues would have been happy to take that service call…oh, and nellie
Why does my leg feel like it’s being pulled???
OK, that’s all for this week. Take care and I’ll catch you on the next MMP.
I felt the need for a cheeseburger tonight. Since my wife didn’t want one, I figured I’d make one with low-carb bread and avocado. Then she changed her mind. So I went down to the WTF (Where’s The Food?) trailer next to Beach Cat Brewery and bought two cheeseburgers and fries. $32 with a 15% tip, but it was pretty tasty. Frankly, I would have preferred a Carl’s Jr. Super Star With Cheese; but not the 150-mile round-trip. I had a bottle of Guinness and two ginnintonics to wash it down, and I mad thousand island dipping sauce with mayo, catsup, and sweet pickle relish.
I’m picturing a mechanical green rhinoceros singing and playing guitar, ala Chuck E. Cheese.
Does the cover show a lady with curly, flowing locks and an old-fashioned bodice swooning into the arms of a bare-chested stud of a man with rippling muscles AND rippling hair?
Please to share?
Awww, that’s sweet! Also, I got a chuckle out of “negative IQ” and will be borrowing that!
Now I am, too!
Pretty late close, as I expected, but we did alright.
I got two ten-dollar tips, which made up for the incredibly rude guy last night.
Currently enjoying some microwave popcorn. Yum. For a lazy pothead, you’d think I live off the stuff, but I haven’t had some in ages.
But I need to eat something slightly more substantial, and I have frozen boxed pierogi (not the authentic kind with minced meat, these are the weird Americanized ones with cheddar and potatoes, but they’re still tasty) and some bacon and onions.
If nobody else starts it by the time I’m done eating - and if I don’t pass out immediately after - I may start the next one. There’s a good chance I’ll still be up, and it’s technically already Monday anyway.
Check and see … if not, I’ll find y’all later!
