For some reason I have a very bad headache now. I’ve already taken tylenol and it seems to have gotten worse since then. It’s been a long, strange day today. ETA: I’ve got a bit of a furniture addiction and [this](https://server2.maxanet.com/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi#38) may be my newest purchase. I was looking for a slicer, but found this instead… Now if I can only figure out where I’m going to put it. 😃 :smack: ---

I’ve always wanted a sofa like that, 'cept in red velvet. I’d lounge on it gracefully while beautiful naked young men brought me wine. What? Dear God, someone make it stop snowing. ---

It slices? It dices? 😃 It’s a bit frou-frou for my taste, but I hope you find a place for it and enjoy having it. Breakfasts and lunches packed. Winding down with the end of the long weekend. I have jury duty on Weds, so my short week is even shorter. And this is the payday week when our raises should show up - I’m eager to see how close my estimate was. I think we get our bonuses in the same check, but that’s going right into the wedding account. Exciting, no? Is it Firday yet? 😃 ---

Well, well, the son’s ears were lowered today and he looks much, much better in my opinion. He actually liked the haircut too. Unfortunately for my daughter and I, we’ve lost our stylist. The owner of the salon/barber shop we use sold it. When he sold it, all the stylists left. ☹ Dammit, this always happens to me. I find a stylist I like, and then they leave. It is still freakin’ cold out there. It’s supposed to be cold all week, with temps dropping to low 20s at night and topping out in the low 30s during the day. Toss that wind in there, and it’s reaaaalllly cold. Aw **ems,** I wasn’t really bashing the Brits, and I did preface the statements with the word “hearsay”. You know we love you and **BooFae.** I’m extending a big hearty welcome to our newbies. It’s nice to see you here. Stick around we always like it when new people arrive and stay. We’re very warm and hospitable here. I think I’m gonna check my e-mail. I’m expecting some at any time. ---

**Taters** hence the 😃 at the end I am off home at last. I am currently contemplating whether or not to shoot one of my managers. Who cannot make a decision to save her life and is way to close to her guys that they go crying to ‘Momma’ for the slightest thing. She needs to step up and make a damn decision - it is not a negotiation. She was told this in her appraisal last year and when I did her mid-year review this year. She aint gonna like this years appraisal thats for damn sure! ---

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! You can nickname me anything you want. I’m pretty open. We had steak, baked potato, green beans, and cabbage for dinner. I didn’t have the potato. But loves me some cabbage! Jim tells me I’m going to have to stay outside for the inspection tomorrow. I’ll be having myself some of that cake in just a bit. Jim asked why cake. I told him Sunday is my birthday. He asked starting early? I tell him, if I have to make my own birthday cake, I’ll bake it any damn time I please. 😉 Why do the satellite channels start their movies so late? The kids go to bed at nine, but their movies always end at ten. :dubious: I’m off to start some laundry and finish some dishes. **Pie** , thats how they get you. Every time. Bidding wars make my heart thump, because you know I want it! ---
