The eclipse last night was really cool. We had perfect weather for viewing it - as long as you were inside! It was perfectly clear but really really cold!
I took 4 of the first 5 Fridays of 2008 off. And now I’m having a really hard time getting back into this whole 5 day week thing. Bleh.
I’m observing two ESL classes at a local high school for my TESOL class. Me and a couple of other students in the class want to teach adults, but we haven’t heard anything back from this county’s community college. It may be time to go up one county and see if there are any nibbles there for observing.
The Movie Night crowd went out to see the eclipse last night. We went out once when it first started so that Host and Hostess’s sons could see it (it’s their first eclipse) and then later on when the clouds parted enough to see that the moon was completely red. It was very cool.
New forum? checks Oh, cool. I probably won’t be in it very…wait a minute. They moved the Death Pool. Okay then I will be in it.
I also should have had some coffee this morning. I’ve been yawning all day and all I’ve got is a bottle of water. Must…resist…siren…song…of…chai… Planning…to…crash…party…tomorrow…
Y’know, I’ve only been called for jury duty once and it was two days before I moved out of the county. I predict the next time I’m called it’ll be right before I move out of this county.
See you there! (insert wicked grin).
What kind of cookies?
Rebo requested chocolate chip. But it’s up to Pie she’s bringing them. :: returns wicked evil grin ::
Hey Pie… I llike Newman O’s and Pepperidge Farm Gingermen. Thin Mints would do in a pinch!
(What, she’s not sending out packages of cookies? 
)
I’m planning on calling the next cat Mittens. And Aerin would make a fabulous scarf.
tara, I’m jealous. We need a TJ’s in Canada, dammit! Two blocks from my house! An endless supply of gingersnaps!
Evening all. Nice low-key orgy you’ve got going on here! 
I never have to worry about jury duty at home - being a lawyer rules me out from the start!
HRH is asleep and I had a moderately successful work from home day, except for the tosser from the other side of this deal I’m working on who decided (at 5pm on a Thursday - the last day of the working week here, and already the weekend in Saudi) he absolutely had to know whether we were handling the incorporation of this special company or they were! Like I could find out anyway? Like he could have done anything with the information over the weekend? Like I said - tosser! Actually, I think the word I used when I hung up was TWAT!
Ohhh LiLi, can you post a new link to your blog? I am feeling it’s been a while since I saw pics of Gnat!
Speaking of baby pics, I have uploaded some new pics of HRH here - most of them are while she’s in the high-chair, since it’s the only time these days that she stays still enough to have her picture taken!
Allright!
Who took my cookies?
Wahh!! I am in billing hell!!
The good news is today is my Firday.
The Princess[sup]TM[/sup] and I have been trying to figure out our airline reservations for Italy. They are complicated because Brother Tom will be flying out of Houston while we fly out of Orlando. We’ve found two Airlines that will work. Cross appendages, please, for Continental.
Eggsellent work, taters. Losing weight is just plain hard work.
dotty, HRH has just the most gorgeous eyes!
Must get lunch n.o.l
Tupug
Is it too late for the hot tub party? I brought cookies - white chocolate chunk macadamia nut!
I have three days off in a row! Yippee! I would say I don’t know what to do with myself but I do - Booster Club meeting and hockey games. And laundry.
I will be glad when elections arrive for the Booster Club; I have already told one of the nominations committee members to find someone for Corresponding Secretary. I have had enough. Rumor has it that someone I can’t stand is going to be running for President. If she gets it I most likely won’t even join the club next year. Some of you may remember an issue with a dead friend and a ring from back in August; it’s that…person. (Hey this isn’t the Pit, which is the only place the word that fits her can be used.)
Speaking of words that can’t be used in polite company… At work all phone conversations are recorded and spot checked, but the monitoring station itself is not bugged. I had a particularly annoying customer on the phone last night. She is having issues with the cellular back up to her alarm system and had already had two technicians at her house yesterday when she calls me last night with a tirade. This woman would not shut up; but kept going with questions and complaints. I finally managed to get a word in to explain to her that her primary alarm system was fine and she had coverage. I was so frustrated that as soon as I cut off the phone I let out a heartfelt “you gold plated c–t”. I thought my team leader was going to pee herself laughing; I’m generally known as the most even-tempered one on our shift. Trust me, there are people who are too stupid to have an alarm system and unfortunately many of them can afford one.
Move over, Special One, I want the jet for a while!
:ears perk up: Somebody said “White Chocolate”? Come on in!
Aw, just squeeze in right beside me, we can share!
'scuse me, but I called dibs on the tub…
All right, everyone in-- we’ll snuggle!
Hey, if we’re going to snuggle I’ll gladly relinquish the jet – snuggling is more fun 
You and **Snakes **can fight for it… I’ll watch (and snuggle both of you)
**Spaz **-- why don’t you join us in here? It’ll refresh you 
OMG! I almost missed the hot tub party!
:::cannonball!!!:::
You clean that mess up off the floor right now, young Monkey!
:::comes up for air:::
What Mama? Sure thing! I’ll get right on it!
:::dives in again:::
I’m craving coffee so bad I drug the Little Guy into town so I could get two huge cups of it.
I’m not sure where my coffee maker is now that I’m packing, as I don’t normally have coffee that much. I’m thinking I’ll have to get it back out again, or this could end up expensive…
Swampy, I’ll gladly share my cookies, seems I have way more than I thought. Jim brought home the Girl Scout cookies we bought today… Do-Si-Dos! Thin Mints! I’m in sugar heaven!
Mmmmmm. Coffee.
I shall now toddle off to the coffee machine.
Did someone say hot tub and cookies? Two of my favourites, together at last! Just try not to get crumbs into the tub… that’s just gross.
I just finished a marathon presentation - a whopping four hours of mind-numbing screenshots and accompanying blah-blah-blah. Think anyone will notice if I take a nap under my desk? I’ve earned it, dammit. :whistles innocently:
Muppet, take your nap. I’ll cover you!
coffee,coffee,coffee,coffee.
Ever see the episode of the Fairly Odd Parents when Cosmo and Wanda have coffee for the first time?
Hi-lar-ious!
