How to throw a party! - A 12-step MMP

Right about now, I’m thinking a Taz-skin rug would be a lovely addition to our home decor. Shortly after 4 this morning, he decided he needed to come play in our bedroom. Play involves a combination of being noisy, walking on top of me, and lying across my head. **FCD ** tossed him out and shut the door, but I was up, and I am up. The dogs have been out and all critters have been fed. The noisy feline is chasing a jingle-ball around the house - right now, it’s clattering on the kitchen floor.

His entertaining antics are not so entertaining when you’re trying to sleep. Stoopit cat.

We’ve got an appointment at 1030 to get a fambly pic done. Good thing I wear glasses - the frames hide the dark circles under my eyes. No matter - this is pretty much our last chance to get a pic of the 3 of us as a fambly. And it’ll be the first time it hasn’t been a snapshot. Hope we can get a nice one. I’d also like to get one of **FCD ** and me since we’ve never had that done that wasn’t a snapshot…

Yesterday, the bride-to-be and I ordered the tableware for the reception, and she got the stock for her invitations and reply cards. After I see the hall and we have an idea about how many tables we’ll need, she and I will buy the tablecloths and try to figure out what the centerpieces will be. Before today is done, I’m hoping we have a handle on the menu.

Dealing with all of this, I’m so glad I eloped. It was so easy and stress-free.

I need more caffeine. Stoopit cat.

Morning all - up and caffeinating here too. Poor FCM, Mr. Taz must be on The List! Glad to hear that your daughter is visiting, though, and hope you all enjoy your time together. :slight_smile:

Contemplating a visit to that Trader Joe’s today–seems fairly likely, especially since I’ve been looking forward to returning there. I’ve got a few new things I’d like to try out, and a few repeats that I liked last time (like the lemon-ginger scones - yum!).

Hugs to all in need, particularly Taters and McUne.

Ah, if only the weekend stretched well into next week! LOL

I’m awake. TVMan survived the evening unscathed. But it was a little bit tense there for awhile. Damn, though, he may not make it through the morning, right as I’m typing this he’s trying to stir s**t up again. Give it a rest, man.

Ok, off to send some emails…

Well, I guess I’ve got the MMP all to myself this morning. I’ll just kick back and relax then.

Everybody else is sleeping in…

Ah, that explains it.

Alright, I’m up already. Sleepy, but up!

yawn mornin’!

Howdy!

It is slow in here this morning. I just got back after jumping in the shower. And I threw some meatballs and spicy barbecue sauce in the crockpot for later on today. Perhaps it’s time for my morning nap…

I’m alive. last 24 hours have been busy, but hopefully I’ll be around a bit more this evening (noon/afternoon in the US).

I am not going over what I missed – but hi Mom, Pie, and (last but not least) Ivory; how all you insomniacs doin’? :wink:

ETA: I see **Ivory **wasn’t last after all… Still not least, though :slight_smile:

A man can’t sleep till 8 on his day off? Nelly is walked, coffee is brewed. I’m going to the hockey tailgate this afternoon.

Of course you can, DB, if anyone deserves a break, it’s you. :slight_smile:

I’m showered and my shirt for the photo shoot is ironed. Daughter is primping in the bathroom. Spousal unit is still under the covers, watching Master and Commender for the gazillionth time. I’m having some toast - amazingly, **FCD ** didn’t want to go out for breakfast. We’ll be leaving within the hour. Who knows what the day may bring…?

Awake. Coffee. Dog walked. Muh.

I know it’s my own fault, for repeatably posting sarcastic shit. But something really pissed me off in between post #439 & #440. I need some cat pics to vandalize or something. Because I really do feel like punching someone’s jaw off.

There is nothing more that pisses me off than fucking with kids. After all I’ve seen and all that I’ve worked with, I still can’t fathom some of the most harmful things…

Fuck it. Nevermind. I’ll go to bed eventually.

Sorry. Happy weekend and all, blah blah blah.

I’m up and grumpy. I told The Husband yesterday (well, I asked him).

I said, “Guess what I did today?”

And he said, “what did you do today?”

And I said, “I did nothing. I read a whole book from cover to cover.”

And he said, “You do that every day.”
So now I’m pissed at him. Do I need to explain it further?
Wanker.

Gah, I’m pissed. Remember in January when I was posted about my 13 year old sister being molested? I found out today that the bastard that did this to her is going to freaking walk free. I don’t know any details, other than that. My mom posted that he was going to walk free on another private message board that we both go to. No other details. No one at the house is even answering the phone and Ma’s cell phone is turned off. So I don’t know why he’s able to freaking walk free, but he is.

I think I’m going to back to bed. Grrrrrrrr.

Now I am even more angry.

Ya know, I really, really need to hit that lottery so I can win enough money to retire to a life of leisure. And sleep. Definitely sleep. I died early last night, for some unknown reason, although I still had to stay up till I’d finished the next chunk of this godawful transcript that I had to mail directly to the bitchy attorney involved – I hope she notices the time stamp on my email! – but then I was awakened by the stoopit phone ringing at 9:00 this morning. Not for me, of course; I knew it and so didn’t answer. If it was an emergency, they would have called my cell. Otherwise, fageddaboudit. But it still woke me up. And the Idiots. Who proceeded to bark and bark. Grrr…

How about Isaac- and Rusty-skin rugs to compliment your Taz-skin rug, FCM?

Anyway, glad everybody’s here and okay this morning. I’m off to caffeinate and contemplate caninicide. :smiley:

ETA: That’s just AWFUL, McUne! I can’t believe he’s getting off scot-free! {{{McUne and Sis}}}

That is really awful news MCUNE. Hugs to you and your family.

Not much going on here, I think today will be a stay home day.

My trip to Texas has been postponed to a later date. I’m glad, because I don’t think I could handle it right now.

{{{{McUne and sis}}}} That’s terrible news!

Sorry I was offline most of the day, but today was spring-cleaning day. My good friend came over and helped me, so the lounge/dining area, entry foyer, all of the bathrooms and the kitchen are now officially spick ‘n’ span and dust-free! We also rearranged the lounge room to maximise the space. The upstairs bedrooms were done last week, so all that remains upstairs is to sort out the big bags of clothes in HRH’s room that she has outgrown. Downstairs, we still need to sort out the spare room, which is filled with bric-a-brac that won’t fit in the under-stairs cupboard (which is full to the brim with suitcases and boxes of stuff that I don’t want to deal with), like Noor’s bouncinette, baby carseat capsule, extra toys in a plastic toy-chest, spare box of crockery, Christmas decorations, etc. etc. BUT, the house now looks like a nice place to be, rather than a cramped, dusty toy-room! Whew, now I just need someone to run me a nice, hot bath and pour me a glass of wine … Where is my husband???
