New hair pic. I took about fifteen pictures and this was the one I hated the least. God, I’m so critical about my own self-portraits.
Feeling blah. And cold. Have most of a day off tomorrow which will be spent clothes shopping. I need some new warm-weather clothes and an interview outfit. I’m hoping for the best here.
Love the hair, Spaz!
Well, my toes have begun to turn purple. But the bottom of my foot under my toes feels… not quite right, maybe like it’s still very swollen. If it’s not feeling a bit more right tomorrow, I’ll probably be calling the doctor. Which sucks, because I think I’m behind a couple of payments to him and he’ll probably want it all tomorrow.:dubious:
Sorry to read about your poor toesies, Pie. Hope they heal quickly.
**Moonie…**dude…just plain “ouch” is all I gotta say.
Work sucked; what else is new.
I don’t have anything to add tonight. Just tired and burned out, I guess.
Hey guys, I wanted to drop by to apologize for catching the first MMP mod warning–I knew the whole situation was getting up my ass but I snapped and allowed myself to slip and I’m really sorry the steaming turd dropped in here. Don’t be too surprised if I’m not around too much, I have a shiny new toy to play with, AND I got my zoom zoom car back so I think there will be much driving in my immediate future… {{{MMP}}}
Well, I’m sorry if I egged you on. Though, I must admit, I love the idea of the first MMP mod warning and being a tangential part of it. I’m authority adverse enough to get a kick out of it…
I made it through another day. Gordie is home. He ate a bunch of snow. The Facebookers amoung you can see some pics here.
Soapy, I guess you are the official Bad Influence of the MMP. 
hope the toes feel better, Pie
I like the hair, Spaz.
Welcome Uncle Brother! I subscribe to NHL Game center online. It rules.
Moonwolfie - no, we don’t eat bland food, at least not in my house. Anyone who tells you stuff like that is just plain wrong!
The show we went to was “Dirty Dancing” - wasn’t my choice but I went along anyway. It was 3hrs of my life I’ll never get back. “Spamalot” is booked up for about the next decade, I think - I had to go all the way to Vegas to see it instead.
Am feeling a bit blurf this morning, very tired for some reason but I’m sure I’ll survive. It’s Fat Club tonight and I am not feeling at all good about that, I think I’ll go for the weigh-in and then go home, I don’t think I want to stay and be lectured about where I’m going wrong, especially as it’s only a few days before I head off to the land of apple ginever and yummy chocolates!
And you lot can keep yer snow, stop threatening to send it my way. I’ve seen the weather forecast and you know this country gets all pathetic when there’s even the merest hint of the white stuff.
That’s the first thing I looked for, but nothing. Weird.
I was going to make lamb stew, but apparently lambs are as rare as dodos around here. So there’s a beef stew simmering on the stove. I’m a bit nervous since I’ve never made beef stew so I dunno if I’ve done it right … we’ll see.
New hair looks cute Spaz!
Hope your toes get better soon, Pie.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’ here. It’s my hump day!
Haze it’s stew. You’re just usin’ beef instead of lamb. I have figured out there’s really no way to mess up stew unless you put a lot of effort into messin’ it up. It’s meat and veggies in a gravy like substance. So, your beef stew will be good. Or was good by now I guess.
Moonie someone once tried his damndest to convince me to get my right nipple pierced. He said it’d look so hot. Even offered to pay for it. I politely turned the offer down. The only reason I want a needle stuck in me is for medicinal purposes. However, I wouldn’t mind seein’ a pic of yours. Just sayin’… 
I wonder how BBBobbio and Vunderkind survived the 21st bday bash. That was yesterday AIR.
SmartiePants, admit it, you loved bein’ smacked around by Skip. 
Ok, need more caffiene and brekkies.
Later Y’all!
HazelNutCoffee good luck on finding the owner of the cell. It is my personal nightmare to lose mine.
ScareFaerie Polish Vodka Bar, Dead Rat Ball… I wanna hang with you!
Thanks gardentraveler I’m new at this MMP stuff!
FairyChatMom, think of it as early spring cleanup… and very nice pics!
IvoryTowerDenizen Glad your boy is growing, Ensure chocolate is my fav on bad belly days when I can’t eat.
Alastair Moonsong, here is the link to the post. I put it in the old thread. I wanted to catch up with you guys there!
SpazCat Nice do!
Always Brings Pie My foot hurts for your foot.
SmartAleq That was kinda funny to get a mod warning here, but with all the uproar going on, it’s not surprising.
Thanks for the kind words regarding the Willow situation. It is very upsetting to me. Here is a picture I took of Willow and my Mom on Sunday. Here’s a short video too. Mom is in love. She stopped on the way to church, and on the way home!
Yesterday I had to go to the dentist. He pulled a molar and filled a cavity. I’ve never had a tooth pulled, and hopefully I will never have another one! That shit’s nasty! The noise! Then when you get home the pain and the swelling hit. I fell asleep. Apparently Willow’s old owner’s Dad called again last night, but I was sleeping. Oy, I guess I need to call him later, but I have to take my Mom up to the mini-city today for an eye exam.
I’m guessing Bobbio will be saying extra blurfs this morning, swampy.
doggio and swampy beat me to the smart remarks to Soapy and Smartie. No fair!!! :p:D
Little brother is camping here today and tomorrow. House is semi-presentable/inhabitable by two people. Yay!
Gotta get ready for work.
Hope you’re doing OK in the snow, FCM. We’re snow-free, for the moment.
Is it Firday yet?
GT
Good morning!
I slept great last night, for a change! These Ambien seem to be helping somewhat. Even if I do wake in the night, I’m able to shut off my brain and go to sleep again.
Pretty Horsie, FBabe! What the heck does the old owner want, anyway? A deal’s a deal!
I hope the toe is better soon, Pie.
How was the stew, Haze?
In some weird way, I kinda like the fact that the MMP got smacked around.
Waiting for someone to get here to clarify their marked up drawing. Why can’t people be more clear when they write things down?
Happy Tuesday, everyone.
Hee. I like that. Can I get a sash or something?
Hey all,
Haven’t visited in a while, so I figured I’d pop in and say hi. I’m in the midst of my second-to-last semester of library school and I’m slacking BIG TIME because I have a horrible case of “how the hell am I going to juggle all of this?” I’m interning, working part-time, planning my wedding, taking an online class, and I have fitness and Ninjutsu classes, the earlier of which I started two months ago. Last night was the first night of Ninjutsu, and I earned myself some fascinating bruises while trying to learn forward rolls; my goal is to master them so I don’t continue to be bruised and swollen because of my own ineptness. I’m glad I started the classes, though; although I was a bit nervous, I enjoyed myself.
Thank Og this is not another 14-hour day ending in two hours of bruise-inducing instruction.
Gordie is now on The List. He wet the bed last night, while I was in it. Work, then Booster Club meeting/ watch the Canes/Caps game.
tashi, a ninja librarian? :eek: I will be silent and return my books on time.
Hey, tasshi! Nice to see you!
I’m up, about to pull baby out of bed, and in recovery from Other-Quasi-Dather (they were here last night for a few hours) making The Pioneer Woman’s chocolate sheet cake.
We still have half of it.
It’s lunch, right? (NOL)
Oops, Nat’s up. See you.
Hi everybody!
No ice in this country (at least not outside of one mountain, a handful of indoor rinks and the freezer) – so not much of a Hockey culture.
Come to think of it, not much American Football nor Baseball, either. And our basketball doesn’t quite look like the NBA… :o
So I think I’ll pass on the OP.
I also retained little from yesterday – I actually stayed home :eek: with the flu. I think this must be the first time in years I’ve done this!
And I still worked from home for a few hours… :smack:
Anyway, Hi, Yay, Boo etc… as appropriate.
And, those of you who haven’t been there yet, you may want to poke around on the board set up by the One of the Prehensile Tongue (apparently naming names of other boards is *verbotten *now or the staff get their panties in a twist, so I won’t… :rolleyes:* But it’s right in the same thread I’ve linked to ;))
Drive-by, before the drive home.
The morning of the last day in Indianner. Bought my kid his first 2 legal drinks last night, and I was the one that got toasted.
Today’s agenda is a side trip to Illinois to see my dad’s widow.
:: vroom! ::
Blurf.
I’m really really tired today, for some odd reason. Possibly because I was up at the crack of dawn (literally… the first streaks of light appeared just as I dragged my sorry ass out of bed) because I’m working in the 'burbs today. On the bright side, at least I got a lift from the Angry Russian, which means there was some entertaining conversation on the way up.
How did the stew turn out, Haze? It’s pretty much foolproof stuff, so I wouldn’t worry too much.*
BooFae, if it makes you feel any better, I was somewhat disappointed by Spamalot (I saw it when it came through Toronto a couple of years ago). Not that it wasn’t bad, mind you, it’s just that it could have been soooo much better. I’m a bit of a Python snob, though.
OK, meeting time. Off I go to stir up a bit pot of trouble, disturb some shit and crack open some cans of worms. Hee hee. 
*Fun Random Fact - I learned how to make proper stew from LiLi, in the throw-everything-you-have-in-a-pot sense of the word… the way my parents taught me to cook was to always use a recipe, so it was a bit of a shock at first to see someone just throwing things randomly into a pot without even gasp measuring!
What did y’all get into over the weekend? When I went home after work last Friday, everything was normal and nice in the MMP. Now I hear about some sort of brouhaha while I was gone! I can’t turn my back for a minute!
I’m a big fan of Ambien for that reason. Some days you just need that little bit of help getting to/staying asleep. And I find that it helps me break the cycle of sleepless nights, sort of helping me to relearn how to fall asleep. 'Cause sometimes I forget. :rolleyes: 
So PW’s chocolate cake is good, huh, LiLi? Any idea how to turn it into a 13x9 recipe? I don’t have a sheet pan and I really don’t need that much cake. But I’d love to know how to make a really good from-scratch chocolate cake. That doesn’t turn out like some weird brownie/fudge combination. If I’m going to make cake, I want cake dammit, not weirdly textured brownie/fudge things.
I’m making chicken satay with peanut sauce for dinner tonight from a recipe I got from someone or other here a while back. Thanks to whoever that was. It’s good stuff!
