Three loads of laundry hanging on the line, fourth in the washer. I just finised the last of the crabs from last week - they were still very yum and I am stuffded with peppery lips and a stained shirt. Such is the way of steamed crabs, MD style.
I’m going to be a bum for a while. Then, who knows??
Good morning, y’all! Kiddos have had a great weekend so far. They got new phones yesterday. They’ve been on a prepaid, and I thought it was time to give them a try on my cell phone plan. So my plan is maxed out at 5, including my MIL. They’ve been calling, taking pictures, and all kinds of stuff. I’m glad, because it’s kept their minds off of their trombones. They’re not supposed to unwrap or assemble them until their teacher shows them how.
Otherwise, it’s been a slow day. Outside of our son getting coffee this morning, and now he’s wired… Oi.
I had to go to the ER with Dad yesterday. He was experiencing extreme back pain. They ran a bunch of tests, and ruled out anything major. It was most likely due to being very constipated.
They gave him some good stuff for the pain, and some good stuff to clean him out, and he feels much better.
It was kinda scary, and very tiring. I’m just glad it wasn’t something worse.
Today I finished weeding the front flower beds. I can hardly move from doing most of it yesterday. I am in such terrible shape! I should do more physical stuff more often. 
Doing laundry, and watching movies, and surfing the intertoobs.
Tonight’s dinner will be fried chicken, smashed NOT and baby early peas.
Rebo glad your dad is ok. If I lived about ten to twelve hours closer I’d show up for dindin tonight. 
I took the marinatin’ steaks out of the fridge a little bit ago so they can do whatever it is they’re supposed to do before bein’ grilled. I forget the term but I know it’s a good idea to let ‘em set out a little while before grillin’.
I’m thinkin’ about four, crank up the grill and grill cause da bear is gettin’ hongry.
I have been to wash the car and vacuumed it out, amoralled the inside and cleaned the inside of the glass. I now have the dusting stuff out and will commence dusting and vacuuming momentarily. Maybes.
Glad your dad is feeling better rebo
I’m glad your Dad is okay, rebo. And yes, that whole ER/wait/not knowing is tiring both physically and mentally. I hope you get a chance to rest a bit this evening.
I’ve managed to shower, but need to finish the purtification process. Then, I have to run out to the butcher shop, AGAIN, because one of our friends invited his bro and sister-in-law to tonight’s shindig. So, now we’re one steak short.
I should have told HIM to do it because the butcher shop is right on his way, while we have to double back. It’s not far or anything, but it’s just kind of irritating. I purposely went yesterday so that all I would have to do today is laundry and packing. Oh well, no nap for me before I leave at 2:30 in the morning tomorrow.
I’m here, but not really. Life got too busy for me to do 3 message boards, so I stay on GB right now. Come on over, the water’s fine.
Thanks for thinking of me. They ruled out a great deal of nasty stuff, but there is still no known cause for my pain. I see the doctor again next week. Nice to see that the MMP is still going strong (you don’t seriously think I read it, do you?).
So, consider this a drive by of sorts, but no gunfire. I’m anti-gun. 
rigs glad you’re doin’ better and here’s hopin’ they find a reason for the pain.
Dindin is et. Steak and sallit is always wonderful. Doin’ a beef roast (already cooked in the slow cooker with a nummy gravy and onions), butter beans, smashed N.O.T., pear sallit, rolls and possibly a peach cobbler.
Now it’s chill time!
I killded the MMP again! :eek:
Back from Cheeseburger in Paradise and a trek to Lowe’s. We bought a sheet of plywood. It fits easily in the back of the truck, with the gate up. **FCD **is just beside himself with glee! Guys… :rolleyes:
Laundry is all done and I’m going to play a few games before hitting the rack. I’m really tahred!
House and car are all spiffed I clean good when I am angry. I just got out the shower and I am about to get purty for date night. mr ems is taking me for good italien as by way of apology for the ‘burgler’ incident last night.
Sunday will be lazy.
Question I Have Heard Enough Of Today: "Is it going to rain all day?
Answer From Front Desk Chick At A Sister Hampton: “Yes if you keep that Debbie Downer attitude.”
Katie Kitty keeps loving up on me in front of the Boys. They’re understandably offended because she’s their cat. I told them that she’s still mad that they left her at their dad’s plus I bribed her with a sardine the other day. When Culinary Boy and I went on a beer run after I got off work, we picked up a can of sardines so they can bribe Katie. We’ll see if it works.
I have decided that Duck Rabbit Brown Ale is not as good as the Milk Stout. Too bitter and not Stout.
Did y’all miss me? I tried something new this week - sleep. After work I did my errands, kept my appointments, etc; and once home, took my meds and right to bed. It worked. I slept. And though at times I was tempted to sit here and play and chat and stuff, I knew that less than 3 hours a night makes for a cranky and unproductive rosie.
The down side is, all my crops died, my animals ran away, and my farmhands quit. and oh yeah, I had 145 emails to read today. But mox nix - all’s well, and I was quite productive this week, especially yesterday, since Thursday was Evil Cow Orker’s last day. She is now retired and NOT IN MY OFFICE!
It’s thunderboomin’ here. Time to get off this computerbox, I guess.
goes to play games on Adult Swim’s website
YES. But sleep is a good thing. 
Tomorrow will be busy. Handbells start again tomorrow night at church, and we’re really looking forward to it. Tuesday is hubby’s appointment with the oncologist. I have the day off so I can go.
Went to watch #2GrandSon play soccer today. Seven-year-olds playing soccer is Funneeeee! Some people describe it as clusterball. Looks kinda like rugby, but not as rough.
Fallfest was a bust, so we went to the Italian restaurant across the street. It rocked. Now I’m home, playing with Gordie.
Bumba, when I played soccoer at 7, I had a head to head collision with another player, and was trampled by my own team. Soccer is too violent.
Thoughts and prayers to Mr. Ominous.
Rebo, glad dad is OK.
Spaz, I like the Duck Rabbit Porter.
rosie, glad sleep helped, but shame about losing the Ponderossa.
I’m joining a local choir. The next big concert is in January and will be some stuff by Handel. I don’t know what yet, but I’m told that the director says it’ll be hard. Hell, I had two solid years of voice lessons and college choral experience. Bring it on! Make me sing way high! I love it! It’s been way too long, but I still have the range. Suck it, altos. (Kidding! My college choir director used to tell the altos to get down there and “sing like women.” I loved him. He was teh awesome.) The big fundraiser concert was tonight so I don’t know when rehearsals will start again but it won’t be long.
I have really missed singing in a choir. It is So. Much. Fun.
My newest coworker now has a new puppy, he’s some sort of hunting dog, largely blue heeler I think she said, about six months old. He was apparently dumped by an aunt’s house. I demanded pictures. If we only allowed non-service dogs, I’d demand a visit as well.
snowbunny, great news!
Hello peoples.
We had a great time at my husband’s birthday celebration and managed to get home by 11:00. I tried to sleep for an hour and a half, but couldn’t quite drift off. Hubby was too restless and kept me up.
I finally gave up, got up, and showered. My suitcase and carry on are by the front door and I’m waiting on the shuttle to take me to the airport.
I shall be Dopeless, 'Raffeless, and Facebookless for the week.:eek: 
How will I survive?! 
Anyway, I guess I’ll “see” you all next weekend. Hugs and smooches to all of you!
