**FCD **has a funny coworker. They were discussing pets, and the guy was amazed that we had only one pug. He said we needed at least 2 or 3.
Funny fellow, that one!
I suspect if we had another pug, Taz would start pissing on our bed again and Ziva would just have a heart attack and die. Plus I’d have to eviscerate **FCD **for bringing home another dog…
Yep, funny fellow.
Just talked with another sister. The couple with the newly-acquired RV bought it so they could drive to Seattle and take an Alaskan cruise. Because, you know, taking your car and staying at hotels along the way is too expensive… or something.
Another little item I didn’t mention - this sister used to drive for a living, and she nearly lost her job because she totaled 3 vehicles. In fact, she had her first accident before she even got her license, hitting a car in a parking lot. And her husband really really likes his beer - how convenient to have a fridge just a few steps from the driver’s seat?
This will not end well…
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis <snerk> 69! <snerk> Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 70 and rain/tstorms/apocalypse. We shall see. After today we have a major cool down comin’ with some lows in the 20s even. BRRR!
Midget I did indeed get many comments on the cuteness of bear tray. Thus, I neenered in OYKW’s face as promised. 
MOOOOOOM ummmm… re your sis and bil. Wow. Just wow.
Today is deheathenization, followed by brunch and the annual Parish meetin’. We are toyin’ with the idea of castin’ our votes for Vestry members and then makin’ an escape rather than sit through the whole thing. Or not. We’re willy-nilly like that. Plus we both have ush duty.
Ok, that’s all I got. I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, I must at some point begin purtification for deheathenization and to nukulate the corn casserole and put it in my Corning carrier thingy that keeps stuff warm for several hours. Don’t y’all just wish you could live my life!
Happy Sunday Y’all!
**swampy **- I don’t want your life, but I would like some of your corn casserole.
**FCD **is still abed, and it’s light out, but raining, as promised. Not sure if my sweetie will want to go out for breakfast - I suppose I could accidentally open the door and let Higgs go in and ask him.
I’ve finally gotten enough sleep. throws confetti
It’s raining and I have to do laundry. At least it’s not freezing raining. And we’re supposed to get down to 8 American degrees Wednesday night Mom, so :p.
I’m up, caffeinated, and off work. It’s sunny an 63 right now, perfect for the brunch tailgate. I’m bringing bacon.
Mooooommmmm!, um. wow.
yay for sleep, Spaz!
Back from breakfast and a quick stop at Lowe’s for a spotlight for my plants in the green room. The light we’d been using was old and had a plastic reflector that was starting to melt. The new one is all metal and rated for a 150W bulb - it’s only got a 50W gro-light in there, so yay!
**FCD **was in that shower at the time of my last post, so he wasn’t subjected to a pug reveille.
He’s now in the basement starting a fire, after which he’ll continue work on his gas tank. I haven’t decided what I’ll do today. Gotta see what’s on TV or Netflix, I guess. Or I could read…
It’s a drizzly 50○ here but it’s supposed to go below freezing tonight. 
Up and caffeinating. I think I’ll do the last two loads of laundry, lunches for irk next week and play in the studio the rest of the day…
This sentence has “Hey, y’all! Watch this!” written all over it. 
Yeah, doggio, I thought the same as I typed it…
Sounds fair to me, since you’re normally the one she wakes up, and wasn’t she HIS dog originally?
Working on getting my brain booted up to go deheathenate.
Pens I’m kinda neutral on. But I do have some satisfaction on dem Stillers - especially since it was Big Ego Ben who basically blew it for them. I’ve been around the guy and known folks who had to deal with him. Lets just say I don’t have any warm fuzzies about the subject.
Higgs is his dog, but generally when I wake up, I’m up while he can fall back to sleep easily. I let him sleep because I’m nice, dammit!
has FCD survived the fire + gas tank experiment?
Happy Sunday!
It’s not so cold and rainy which is way better than cold and snowing.
I leave for the armpit sometime today, not sure when.
Thank you for the good wishes for my dr appt tomorrow Doggio
I think I am going to leave my laptop and house phone here.
I get tired of watching Sah-son lugging them back and forth.
I had the worst dream last night, I dreamed I was getting married.
In it I sat my husband to be down and said this is how it is, I don’t cook unless I want to, I clean when I want to, I won’t do your laundry, I come and go as I please and do what I want.
His only request was that I bake him a cake everyday, but every time I handed him the cake he accidentally dumped it on the floor and asked me to bake him another one.
I woke up feeling frustrated and irritable, in real life I’d tell him the next time he drops the cake on the floor I’ll break his fingers.
FCM I know so many people who are bad with money.
I have a friend who can never pay her rent but she manages to go out drinking every night and takes a cruise every year. She pays for herself and her bf and her son. Then she will complain about not being able to pay the rent and the landlord on her butt.
Somehow she always makes it work though, so maybe she knows something I don’t. But I sure couldn’t enjoy myself on a cruise if I was worried about not having a home to come back to.
Another friend owes the IRS $25,000. I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I owed the IRS that much money. He doesn’t care, they worked out a payment plan and I told him he’ll be dead before it gets paid off. Doesn’t bother him, he figures if he dies owing them money he wins and they lose.
He does have a point there I guess.
Do you clean the walls of the grill?
On a vertical smoker, like Mooommm has, all of the drippings should go into the liquid pan (which does get cleaned & put away inside); there shouldn’t be any sizzles because the [del]flame[/del] heating element is covered by said liquid pan. Thus the only thing on the inside walls should be from the smoke (which would be minimized because it’s electric).
…& run the vacuum now, too. :smack:
Home from funeralizing this morning. Since I was out that way, I stopped at the good bagel place & got some (garlic) bagels. Then I stopped at the grocery sto’ on the way home & did the weekly shopping. I can say, with confidence, that Dracula will not carjack me today but the car does smell wonnerful! 
**FCD **has quit sanding for the day. He’s assumed the position in front of football playoffs. I was watching random TV and crocheting, but I surrendered the remote to him and took a break.
I am endlessly amazed by people who don’t understand even the most basic bits of money management. We had a neighbor in FL who was too cheap to pay the $10/month for trash pickup (we caught her dragging her trash over to our driveway) but she always seemed to have enough money for cigarettes. She had to have a boarder to make her mortgage payments, but she also *had *to have a pool installed. I understand that shortly after we moved out, she was evicted.
I pulled a few hunks of salmon out of the freezer, so supper is thawing. I’ll figure out the sides later.
I take great comfort in the fact that I’m broke as a joke but I manage my money better than a lot of people.
wth, my dehumidifier just kicked on. It’s still January, right? checks calendar Indeed it is. Huh.
:tap, tap, tap: Did you bring enough bagels for everyone, spidey?
Forget the salmon - we’re having pizza. Damned suggestive TV commercials…
