According to what was decided in last week’s MMP, \*_Draelin_ is up for posting the MMP next week. Since she didn’t object, I assume she’s gonna do it. What say you **Draelin**? ---

What the heck. I’ll have to write myself a note, but I’ll take it. 🙂 ---

Well, I’m sure as hell not going to do it. Hell, I can’t even mail donuts to a city that’s technically closer than Buffalo, so what can you people reasonably expect of me? Nothing, that’s what. And yes, I am still brooding over my donut-smuggling failure. I have a hard time letting things go. ---

Ya know, I think there are very few things as good as smelling a nice slice of banana bread in the morning. It made me happy, even though I am at work. It’s gone now, though, which makes me sad again. Susan ---

I just poured coffee in my oatmeal. :smack: It’s been a long week. I had to get up at 4:00am\* both Monday and Tuesday because I had a series of training meetings set up, and I had to be at work early to make everything was set up correctly and to sign the trainer(s) into the building. It’s just thrown my whole week off. And, ok, going out drinking last night with my best girlfriend instead of going home to bed _might_ not have been the best idea I ever had. Actually, the coffee/oatmeal thing isn’t really all that bad. It’s just too bad I decided to eat the oatmeal with salt instead of brown sugar today. \*All you larks can just hush. I am not a morning person, and this was hard for me. The only way I like to see sunrises is on my way home to bed. ---

Well, looks like we’ll have an MMP next week…or three. 😉 **fcm** , that’s one of the great benefits of a fenced-in yard. I lost one dog to a speeding car and never want to repeat the experience. ☹ I really got nuthin this mornin but I’m sure sumpin will come up durin the day. Carry on. Tupug ---

I have to go help price stuff for a churchwide yard sale this afternoon. WOOHOO! Also I gotta be there at seven in the morning to get stuff set up. DOUBLE WOOHOO! I went to bed early last night cause I was tired and my sinuses hurt and I was all grumpy and grouchy. I just wanted to hide under the sheet and make the world go away. Looks like ACBG will be working all weekend too. ☹ Oh, and we have yet another called vestry meeting Sunday after church over the pending sale. I’ll be glad when this is over. I will not consent to being elected Senior Warden for next year. Like I need that during the time we’re between buildings and building the new place, which with any luck will start in January. -swampbear (continuing to grumpy and grouchy) ---

**Swampy,** dearheart, we must be on the same wavelength. I also have a continuing case of the grumpies. I’m so very glad it’s Friday. I am hoping against all hope the loud office mate doesn’t show today, but that would be a miracle. I’m sure my teeth will be ground down to nubs before the day is through. It’s raining. Fall is here. Frankly, I’m glad to see the rain. Now I don’t have to feel guilty about not working in the yard. ---

Ok, somebody’s gotta sort this all out, so I have decreed it will be me. Get over it. So There! 😛 **FCM** will post next weeks MMP. After that **Rue** may be back. If he is not back, **Draelin** will post the following week’s MMP. After that, well, we’ll figure out whatever when we get there. Remember, I’m all grouchy and grumpy so it’s best to just do what I say. ---

Debit card was indeed reported stolen. Protest didn’t happen, which disappointed me slightly. We’ve been having problems with visibility of the group on campus, and anything that involves fraternities automatically makes it into the school newspaper. > [@swampbear](#): > > **gotpasswords** I hear ya on the leather kilts. Just doesn’t sound right. Harnesses, jackets, vests, chaps, pants, however… : drool : Why were we wasting our time talking about kilts when we could be talking about leather? ---
