My sisters were going to be getting their Christmas presents a little late. Then the dog ate one of them. Now hers is going to be later.
Turkey broth finished overnight (made from baked turkey wings). It’s cooling, covered in the crock pot while I’m at work. I need to remember to strain it and reduce it a bit tonight.
I am inordinately fond of homemade turkey broth.
Yeah, well, I had to be on the road at 6:45 to get to irk on time this morning. Type faster!
And that is why Mark Trail is wonderful.
They’re in Cottonfield County, so I’m guessing rabid beavers? 
Li’l Red had a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for pancakes, so she talked me into going to IHOP with her after irk. I got the chicken florentine crepes and they were really really good. Now I’m trying a lemon San Pellegrino that got abandoned in the back office. It’s good, but a little too lemony for me.
Supper was good - poke tenderloin, N.O.T.s-n-onions, and 'maters in blue cheese dressing. Well, it was good until someone knocked over an almost full glass of soda while trying to give the dog a plate, despite being repeatedly told NOT TO FEED THE DOG TABLE SCRAPS!!!
So I got to finish my meal by pulling out the carpet cleaner. Good times…
And I didn’t make the apple cake, so we don’t have any dessert. Bummer.
Sketties and meatballs made for a good dindin on a dreary evenin’. YUM! I asked OYKW if he minded havin’ it again tomorrow. He said he liked livin’ too much to tell me no. 
He’s gone back to his place to deal with paperirk stuff for his irk, poor thing.
MOOOOOOM as penance FCD should go out and buy you ice cream.
MIdget don’t feel bad. We all occasionally over dress for :eek:Wally*World:eek:.
Kilograms x 2.2 = Pounds
Inches / 2.54 = Centimeters.
Yes, I am an engineer. Get over it.
I think it’s time to recline and crochet. *** MWAH!***
I remember one time in college, a student said to his friend, “I don’t trust you one inch or 2.5 centimetres.”
The transcript of a text message conversation between me and my daughter last night while I was at work:
*(background: our daughter, home for Christmas break had spent the evening at the movies with a friend from high school. Meanwhile, I had been called into work an hour and a half early, to help make up for short-staffing. Our daughter arrived home shortly after I went to work.
Also: Lisa is a woman who for several years worked for us as a housekeeper)*
Kayla: DID LISA EVER GET MOM POT??
Daddy: Who the hell wants to know?
K: ME. MOM SAYS THIS HAPPENED
D: Do you doubt her?
K: YES
K: HOLY SHIT
K: DID IT HAPPEN
D: I’m curious to know how the subject came up.
K: Politics. Then she brought up how she wished they’d legalize. STOP AVOIDING THE SUBJECT
D: Apropos of nothing in particular, did you know that text messages stay around forever?
K: DEAR NSA, MY MOTHER IS PROBABLY LYING AND DID NOT PARTAKE IN ANY ACTIVITY WITH A WOMAN NAMED LISA. I’M JUST ASKING A QUESTION.
Emily, didja wear house slippers to complete the ensemble? 
I got handed three requests at the end of the irkday today for an area that I haven’t dealt with for several years. I got as far as to set up an appointment wit the coordinator over there first thing tomorrow. Gotta love when cow-orker’s vacations coincide with year end.
DAAAAAAAD so did Lisa ever get kaylasmom pot? A pan perhaps? Maybe a nice cookie sheet?
I’m tahrd, so I shall go lie upon the bed and watch teevee until sleepy time.
Nitey Nite Y’all!
Oh, and 1 centimetere = 1 centimeter, American. )
The ones who get me are the Brits who still give their weights in “stone”.
And the club soda is a yay for any of us with high blood pressure at least.
Yeah? Youz and what Imperial gallon? 
What an appropriate custom title!
Haha, I was just wearing ordinary boots. But there wasn’t a lot of snow on the ground, so I should’ve worn slippers. 
Indeed.
Do you read theComics Curmudgeon?
Mark Trail has lately had pictures of Cherry in a bathing suit! Pretty cool!
I dunno, boots and jogging pants have a certain flair.
At least tell me they were cowboy boots or sumpin’. You’l never make PoW otherwise.
Cowboy boots and jogging pants are gauche’. Regular snow boots and jogging pants have a certain class.
Besides that, a country that spells “centimeteres” does not have cowboy boots.
**Midget ** if there was no snow on the ground you should have worn flip flops.
I used to wear them all winter after I broke my toe.
People thought I was crazy but it hurt to wear shoes.
The dog is sleeping, the son is sick, I still have chills and so will be going to sleep soon.
As soon as I can stand up out of this couch.
You undoubtedly cannot stand due to frost bitten toes. :dubious:
