Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to work. 3 inches of snow on the ground already.

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 50 Amurrkin out and rainy with a predicted high of 51 for the day, rain this mornin’ and cloudy this afternoon. Definite ICK weather. Today’s plan includes deheathenization, I have ush duty, gettin’ back to da cave to have sketties 'n meatballs, sallit, and cheesey garlic bread for N.O.L., with sloth afterwards. Sounds like a good plan to me.

**MetalMouse** those two gentlemen certainly went all out. They have had a large and in charge weekend of weddin’ doin’s. I agree with you about RuPaul. No appeal to me at all.

**doggio** as to the snow, all I can say is better thee than me.

**MOOOOOOM** glad y’all had a good time at the partay.

Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then purtification for deheathenization must commence.

Happy Sunday Y’all!

Happy Sunday!

It’s a cold 25 degrees outside, supposed to warm up to 34 and be cloudy all day.

I’m up too early, but what can you do? I fell asleep at 8 last night, woke at midnight, stayed up until almost 2, and then went back to bed. I kept waking up though because I was cold. Unusual for me to wake up cold.

Lots to do today.  
None of it special or fun.

I need to order some groceries. We’ll pick them up tomorrow when it’s supposed to be a bit (41) warmer. As long as it’s above freezing I am okay.  
All y’all with snow can just keep it where you are thank you very much. I have no need for it.

I didn’t fall asleep till after midnight, then I woke at 5:30, I think, tho when I looked at the clock again, it said 6:30. So either I fell back to sleep for an hour, or I misread it the first time.

In any event, Higgs has been tended to, the dishes are washing, and \*\*FCD \*\*is still crashed. Today, I hope to go thru my vacation photos and get some posted. I’ll probably also throw a lot away, but ain’t that the great thing about digital photography?

We’ve got a chance of snow this afternoon - time will tell. Meanwhile, I just sent daughter back to get some sleep while I take Roxy duty. She’s the reason we were all up at midnight.

Rotten kid! 😃

Happy Sunday!

Morning all. Slept until 7:30am, but I suspect nappage will occur later today.

Still rainy and cold (41F, which is cold for N. Ali-bama).

Need to get laundry done sometime today, but will probably procrastinate until after dinner.

Right now Sudoku beckons, so all y’all take care.

Daughter got a couple of extra hours sleep, and I got to change 2 mega-poopy diapers! :eek: Plus I fed Roxy her morning fruit, then gave her a diaper. She’s still wide awake, playing with something noisy.

The critter fountain is finally clean, and I’m about to edit my cruise photos. Woohoo!! 😃

I know I’m in a bad mood when I keep giving the tv the finger.

I don’t know which irritates me the most, applebees (suck ass song), corona (fuck Christmas lights on a palm tree), hersheys (suck ass song), and whatever company is using _Joy to the World_, probably target or wallyworld.  
Which are worse, back to school commercials or Christmas commercials?

For those who are my FB friends, I’ve posted some random pics from vacation, and one video with flying fish (tho you really can’t see them till the 2 min and 2 anna half min marks) If you’re not my FB friend, you can message me and I’ll tell you how to find me there.

Meanwhile, I’m going to knit and watch TV!

Evil white stuff falling from the sky. Dammit. But supposedly we’ll get less than an inch.

Roxy is visiting her other grandmother, and her parents are running errands. Quiet house here, except for Cozmo’s snoring. 😃

Howdy Y’all! We have managed deheathenization, N.O.L. and nappage. I don’t know how we manage to keep up such a pace! 😃 ‘Tis been a drizzly and dreary day. Not much else goin’ on in my part of the MMP world.

By the way - my concert last night was pretty well-attended, but there was a guy playing music in the subway that same day who probably had a bigger audience.  
(The subway musician was Yo-Yo Ma.)

Howdy y’all!

I’m home from heathenating, have folded the towels from yesterday’s wash and prepped breakfasts and lunches for the irkweek. During heathenization, the band did a mash up of Tim Minchen’s _White Wine in the Sun_ and _You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch_. It hit all of the conflicting feelings about the holiday season perfectly. 🙂 Now to nuke some leftovers for supper.

Supper had been ingested and the kitchen is more or less clean.

Evil white stuff continues - daughter said it was really bad when they went to pick up Roxy from her other grandmother’s house. We’ll see how well the road crews do tonight - once I do the quarter mile from my house to the main drag, I don’t anticipate any issues.

Sloth shall reign for the rest of the evening.

Evening all. Second load of laundry is completing it’s run, so I may be able to get the baskets emptied out before bedfall. Also turned on the dishwasher and then turned it off and emptied it, so I have had my exercise for the day. Rest of it spent watching tackleball.

**Midget** , did YYM announce this, or was it a surprise appearance? And glad your music gives you smiles.

**FCM** , snow, poopy diapers…thinking about getting back on that boat? Nice pics, BTW.

Time to put the shirts in the dryer and the towels in the washer. All y’all have a good night and I’ll catch you on the morrow…
