Holiday baking in the MMP

Happy Thorsday!

It is friggin’ cold outside. Cold and windy and I am so happy I don’t have to go out today. Opening the door to let the dog out is quite enough cold for me.

So I was having this dream, and in the dream I was feeling sick and some idiot says the sound of running water makes me feel better, so they (whoever they are) turned on the sink. No, the sound of running water doesn’t make me feel better, it wakes up the bladder, which in turn wakes me. I get up, which wakes the dog, who then wants out and the cold blast really wakes me up. So I lay back down, start getting all warm and sleepy, when I hear these horrible screams and I think the dog is hurt only the dog is sleeping peacefully, and then Sah-son comes charging out of his room screaming get it off me. He had a nightmare about an exploding box of spiders and I think he was actually still asleep as he was demanding that I get them off of him.

Now I’m wide awake.
I don’t want to be, but I am.

Up, caffeinated ,and sheveled. Off to work.

sari, I hate it when my boxes of spiders explode, too.

I believe the correct response to “Bear left” is “Right, Frog!” :smiley:

**Pearl **- I’d love to see your dressing recipe! My bro suggests I just buy some - I wonder if he’s afraid I can’t mix up a decent vinaigrette??

The frigidity hasn’t hit here yet, but it’s on its way. rah.

I had a bizarro night, tho not as bad as some here seem to have had. At one point, I remember dreaming about having to clean some woman’s ears with a Q-tip. That’s a whole new level of weird for me.

One day closer to the weekend. Happy Thursday!

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 46 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 56 and N.O.S. for the day. It will be colder tomorrow so I shall go to the sto’ to buy stuff for Satiddy’s dindin this mornin’. After that, who knows. Dindin shall be brekkie as I still have a gnawin’ and a cravin’. I envision snausage gravy 'n bizkits, scrambled aigs, and cheese grits all of which can easily be assembled in a short amount of time especially since the bizkits are the frozen kind. Other than that, who knows.

flytrap I say an email in a combo of French and Klingon!

{{{BooFae}}} feel better soonest.

gotti the mean ol’ dentist only wants what’s best for you. Still sucks though.

OK, now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Then I shall purtify and head out. I think a trip to the liberry might also happen.

Happy Thursday Y’all!

Cut some dental floss into short lengths. Conceal it in your mouth. At some point, scream, “I can’t stand it!” and begin pulling the floss out.

gotti, when I had my wisdom teeth out they gave me dissolving stitches. Those have a tendency to get stuck between your teeth when they dissolve, which sucked for me because my teeth are very close together. I spent about fifteen minutes one day trying to get a dissolved piece out from between my molars.

blurf I was true to my word and picked up clerk at 8 am. i am still sleepy though.

Have you tried sleeping? I find that to be a good cure for insomnia. :stuck_out_tongue:
Sari, what kind of spiders? Miniature Sri Lankan ones? Where they wielding pointy sticks? :smiley:
The high for the next two days should be 50°, with a low of 35°…that’s combined over those two days! :eek:
& that’s before you take into account the wind gusts of 36mph during the day & 28mph tonight. :eek: :eek:

So when is Run Club’s (unreschedulable) annual Caroling Run? Tonight. No, I can’t run, but I’m the videographer, which makes it worse as I’m STANDING outside in that & not even building up any body heat from running, I also can’t wear heavy gloves/mittens as I need to be able to operate the equipment. :frowning: :eek: :cool: :confused: :rolleyes: :wink: <– (I went with every blue emoticon as that will probably be my color)

27F this morning. And my phones still are out of service. I will be leaving shortly to their office after putting on my “I’m-pissed-and-going-to-start-yelling-and-second-now” game face.

So, Blurf.

can’t you just call them?:smiley:

Minus 2F this morning. I’m taking PTO tomorrow to get my hair did, and flurries are predicted. I can handle that, it’s the sleet/snow combo platter on Saturday that may give us up to 10 inches (that’s what she said) that worries me. I guess I’ll be staying home, cleaning, and wrapping presents.

You spread joy and happiness where ever you go!
:dubious:

So in other words insomnia is a problem but not something you would lose sleep over? :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:
Temp is about 7 Amuriken; got the basement heater on to protect the pipes. Going to run some errands and treat myself to lunch at Don’s.

Spidey and Buttercup ya’ll are realllll helpful. :stuck_out_tongue:

Mooooom, soitenly! Mix equal parts olive oil and lemon juice, add salt and pepper to taste, a equal ammount of garlic powder, half a tsp of oregano and a couple dashes mint extract. Shake well. This makes a good marinade for chicken. I adapted it from a recipe clockwork jackal had…
Anyhow going to the temp place to fill out more paperirk, then to the sto, I also need to fill out some stuff online, clean the kitchen, job hunt, and start getting ready to go to Gawgia. Yikes!

Well thanks Flytrap. That means a lot coming from you.

Bad enough I’m dealing with the drawing from hell today, but apparently it managed to crash my video driver and cause the program to shut down. So I’m waiting, again, for it to load.

Who wants to be productive anyway… :stuck_out_tongue:

JDD’s deceased brother’s house is up for sale. I know this because I’m nosy and drove by there to see if it had been put up for sale by the mortgage company. I wrote down the website and just looked it up. Aside from rippin’ out the stinky, moldy carpet they did nuttin’ to the place from the looks of the pictures. Then again the askin’ price is 35K so I guess how much can one expect. One can do things like this when one is retired. :smiley:

MetalMouse sic 'em!

There ya go, **swampy **- buy it, fix it up, and flip it! It’s not like you have anything else to do.

:smiley:

**FCD **got called into the office today, much to his dismay. Methinks he won’t work as part-time as he’d hoped. Poor baby…

I’ve decided that I’ll stop for a rotissed chicken for supper tonight. There’s one decision done and done. :smiley:

You may have Butters confused with someone else ------

If one gets bored doing things like this, one could also go to work for Da Jungle part-time (since that’s about all we got) and mention a friend who would get some Basic Bux for the referral. Just sayin’. :slight_smile:
