We tried to stand on each other’s shoulders to peek in the window.
We had ours the next year.
So upset. Went to clean my daughter’s fish tank just now and discovered her female betta fish had passed. I am not looking forward to telling her when I pick her up from school today. My husband Jimmy isn’t being very sympathetic, but he did get me an old playing card box for Allison to put her fish in so we can bury it.
RIP Squishy Fish
{{{Apes}}} first, glad to see ya back! Second so sorry about Squishy Fish.
N.O.L. has been ingested. The last of the chikin pot pie. Soon I shall go be ummm… shrunk, I reckon, at the shrink? 
It’s a plot.
I decided to go ahead and take advantage of the sunny, dry day and I laundered the sheets I took off the bed on Monday. After I hung them on the line, I noticed some stuff growing in the garden, so I yanked it out. Then I saw more, and as I was yanking the second piece, wouldn’t you know my hand brushed against some poison ivy tucked under a hosta leaf. Dammit! I came in and ran cold water over the hand, then washed it with soap. We shall see if I develop blisters. Stoopit poison.
Then I decided to move the mega branch that fell in the rain. It was big, but pretty light, which explains why it let loose. The 3 big pieces were pretty easy to drag out of the way, but I had to get a rake to get all the smaller branches and twigs. That mess is sorta cleaned up. I need to break it all up for kindling. Not motivated at the moment. Stoopit poison.
I should just crawl into bed and pull the covers over my head. <sigh>
doggio, come to Indiana for Christmas and you’ll get barbecoa, stuffed cabbage, peirogis, tamales and breaded pork tenderloin. We like our groceries, no matter where they originated.
nettie, over the years, I’ve found promotions that placed me in a position of authority over former coworkers tended to be problematic. The shared history lends itself to power struggles.
Mooom, the kids in my county went back to school two weeks ago (we’re usually the first county in the state to start) and most of the rest of middle Tennessee went back last week. Sis’ school in Houston begins next week, although she had to be there Monday after driving from Indiana over the weekend.
I’ve been such a blonde today. First, I left home without my ever-present coffee mug, which meant that I had to commandeer the soup mug in my desk for coffee duty. Then, I discovered that I was wearing no earrings (and now I feel naked). At lunch, I found that I had neglected to pack the noon meds. :smack: It has to get better.
My fan got here today.
It says it’s reversible. Yes it is, you take it out of the window and put it in the other way. They thoughtfully put off/speed switches on both sides.
I’s 'fraid to click on the linky; think it might be Squishy Fish all laid out in card box surrounded by flowers & some fishy flakes tucked under her fin. 
Oh, & ::tacklehug::
Be careful swampy, some of those weight loss guys are quacks. 
red, you know the deal, pics…
Don’t all betta fish kind of look alike? I’d go buy another one of the same color and see if it passes.
When Sah-son was little he had a guinea pig named Dad. Dad died, so I went to find a replacement. Dad was all black except for one little brown spot and when I went to the pet store I was surprised to find another all black guinea pig with a brown spot.
Didn’t fool Sah-son for a second, so then we had Buster.
No no.no.No no.
Just no.
Howdy Y’all! Back from bein’ shrunk. I also stopped at the burly butcher sto’ and bought some really nice lookin’ ground beast which has been made into mini burgers for Sattidy feastin’. Go Me!
The bike is finally back together. Pics soon - my sweetie is buffing the last few spots.
He says he doesn’t want supper. I’m starving. We shall see how this plays out…
The vacation-interrupting irk meeting has been met and I am fully insured for the next year.
I think it’s funny how many of my middle-aged co-irkers like Eminem. Detailed AGM was playing one of his songs when he picked me up.
I’m still unreasonably tired. I tried to take a nap but I couldn’t sleep. Next up: coffee.
I’m grumpy, grumpy, grumpy.
I got my baby shower invitation in the mail today. I did not want an invitation, I do not want to go. It’s addressed to me and guest, so I guess it’s one of those mixed showers. I hate showers, right up there with weddings. and I don’t like the mother to be. I’ll try to think of it as like a funeral, I’m not going for the guest of honor, I’m going for her family. It’s in a restaurant so at least the food should be good.
Dindin has been et. YUM! I done good! Anywho, the kitchen is all clean and OYKW is contemplatin’ a soak in the tub. All is good at da cave.
Sari I know it’s a relative and all, but, still one can politely decline an invitation. If you feel you must go on and on, say, "I’d really like to, really I would, it sounds like more fun than cleanin’ grout, but that’s the same day and time that I promised I would…
Check the dog for fleas and ticks
Check the neighbor for fleas and ticks
Sit in the car in front of the bank with the engine runnin’ while a friend makes a deposit
Help a friend polish his/her belt buckle collection
Any other reason that strikes yer fancy
Unfortunately **Swampy[/B, I think my friend, who is the mother of the mother to be, would be really hurt if I don’t show up. I’d hate to tell her how I feel about her daughter as well, or for it to show.
I feel bad too, she is probably paying more for me to come to the shower than the gift I can afford.
I will put some thought into your suggestions though
I love the way you think.
Apologize, saying that you cannot attend, having contracted the marthandables, a contagious disease.
You know I had to go look that up which brought me right back here
My mother went to a baby shower not too long ago and was told that anybody who did not have a chicken pox vaccination would not be allowed near the newborn. Too bad it doesn’t apply to the mother to be too.
New developments: manager wants me to decide by tomorrow, and I have a third option: cashier lead. I’ve been a cashier before at this store, so know the system (I think there may have been some minor changes, but I’m sure I can get back up to speed quickly). I know and like that supervisor, haven’t really worked much with the current crop of cashiers (it’s a training/experience program, turnover is ongoing. It’s the nature of the place). Five days/week schedule, but this supervisor is very good at scheduling around school needs (I worked for her during a semester previously and that worked out fine). Might have to upgrade wardrobe slightly, but I can deal. It’s also a lot more relevant to an accounting major than clothing production or sales. I’ll be thinking it over tonight, but am at this point leaning toward this new option with going back to cashiering. DH thinks that’s probably a good plan, too.
Nettie sounds like the situation is resolved. YAY!
OYKW had him a looooooooong soak in the tub. I like it when he’s all squeaky clean.
Bert made supper, so I’ve now got a happy tummeh!
**sari **- I hate showers of all description, but I went to a couple when I was in FL at the request of the stepmother of the bride-to-be and mother-to-be (two different women.) Neither stepdaughter nor stepdaughter-in-law could be bothered to write thank-you notes. Yet another reason I hate showers… Look on the bright side - maybe you’ll be struck by lightning before then!
And I think it’s time to recline and watch TV till I start nodding off.
MWAH!
