I’m here! Nice to know that you missed me. And yes, our internet is Teh Suck. Mr. Lissar has got a Patented Speech for the idiots at Bell- he gets to exercise it about once every two weeks.

I am doing something I regret. In spite of **rig’s** warnings. I am reading _Twilight_. It may be worse than I thought it would be. If possible. Gahh. I want to stake the main characters out to be eaten by giant centipedes.

[On the sort of bright side, the preview for The Time Traveler’s Wife is out](http://www.reelzchannel.com/trailer-clips/41107/the-time-travelers-wife-trailer) and it might not totally suck. Maybe. We might see it. I liked the book.

\*\*McUne \*\*- cute kitteh! I love B&W cats, almost as much as I love the grey ones! And welcome back! Didja bring us presents??

Speaking of kittehs, I pulled out Ziva’s paperwork - found out her b-day was June 10 - she just turned 1! So young to be such a brat! 😃

I don’t want to jinx it, but I need good vibes. \*\*FCD \*\*will be interviewing for a job…

\<wait for it…\>

… at an ice cream factory. \<insert much happy dancing\> Yeah, I know, it’s just an interview and there are others being interviewed, but still - ICE CREAM!!! So cross fingers and toes and stuff for him.

That’s all the excitement here. It’s rainy and I don’t wanna go to work tomorrow. Such is life.

Howdy Y’all! Special howdy to **MCUNE**! LTNS!

**BBBobbio** good for you. Pretty good CYA there, too.

In less than 48 hours iPhone 3g S will be unleashed upon the world. Pity me. Actually, pity any ATT store employee. Poor things. I predict Friday to be a not fun day for any of us. Oh, and I hate iPhones.

I need to go get busy cookin’. Country fried steak and gravy, smashed **N.O.T.** , butter beans and squash. MMMMMMM… Might even make some biscuits.

ETA: Appropriate/inappropriate appendages for **FCD** and the ice cream factory gig!

Hubby and I are all made up and lovey again…:D:D 56 days til I see him again - WHOOHOO!

I also had my follow up appointment with the Ortho Doc yesterday…I screamed like a big girl and saw stars from the pain when he tried to straighten my leg fully.

I have to go for an MRI - earliest appointment is July 15th - and I am currently sitting with my feet up and an ice pack on my knee as instructed

I am off on a hen do this weekend (the hen do of the naughty lacy gift purchase last week end…and the nipple crystals) - I leave work at 2.30pm so tomorrow is my Friday. I am now off to pack for the weekend!

Love ya all - hugs etc

Just the regular in-store bakery brat buns at Cub. They’re about $3 for 6. Which isn’t terrible, but my husband freaked out when he saw the receipt. I’m not entirely sure what he thinks they should cost, but $0.50/roll does seem a bit high. Especially when we only ever use 4 of them and 2 of them go bad! :smack:

I like this [tummy picture](http://www.flickr.com/photos/gamerbabe360/3411537343/in/set-72157616345875022/). I just want to lean down and tickle the cute tummy! And this [action shot](http://www.flickr.com/photos/gamerbabe360/3446501632/in/set-72157616345875022/) with Cullen in mid jump.

I have tried Tim Horton’s coffee from the packet that Complicated Friend gave me. It tastes kind of tangy. Is that right?

I sent off one (1) application today. I plan to do more tomorrow, but Hotel Friend (formerly known as Mountain Friend’s Boyfriend) has the day off and I’ve just now been able to get on the computer. My best thinkin’ times for work stuff are late morning/early afternoon.

There was a tornado warning this morning in Hippy Hollow and the meteorologists were interrupting TV every two minutes because they were so excited to have weather to report on.

It’s 7:15 and I’m still at work, assembling yet another round of feedback on the same bloody document that’s been my entire raison d’etre for the past three weeks.

The same document that I’ll get to discuss again tomorrow. All day. Possibly until 7:15 again, if things go as well as they’ve gone thus far.

Joy.

So sorry, sweetie. How much longer do you have to suffer this agony?

::crosses appendages for **FCD** ::

If it works out, will it mean free ice cream for all of us??? 🆒 😃

**McUne!!!** Nice to see you stop by. Cute kitty.

Glad you and Mr. mmmmmmmmmmmmm made up, **mmmmmmmmmmmmm**. (I knew you would.)

That preview looks not-too-bad, doesn’t it, **LiLi**? I haven’t read the book yet and probably should do so before the movie comes out.

Gotta do some cleaning up in here…

Back later.

Home at last. My day seemed long, although I pretty mch got out much on time.

I need to throw some meat on the grill and I think I’m going to make Those Friggin’ Good Potatoes too.

Good to see you 'round these parts again **MCCUNE.**

I’m glad you and\*\* Mr. ems \*\*made up **ems.** Sorry to read about your owie though. I hope the pain is resolved soon.

Well, I should cook up the chop-chop, I suppose…

Hugs and smooches to all.

Three down, two to go (or one for me … :D).

**Mmmms** , yay for making up with **MrMmmms** ; sorry about your physical pain, though but have a great time this weekend. Welcome back **McUne**! Very cute kitteh, btw - those black & white kitties are so cute. 🙂 And sending good job vibes in the direction of the **FairyChat** household - ice cream!! Hope the SIL gets a bit of sense, btw (IOW, smack some into him for me! LOL).

Sorry about the extra time at work, **Muppet** , hope the boy helps make up for it when you get home. 🙂 And welcome back to **LiLi** too, sorry for your internet woes. Too bad Mr.Lissar can’t ninja kick the internets into working better!

Hugs and kisses to everyone. 🙂

OMG, somehow, someway, I must have angered the Work Gods. Today, with 4 whole pts, I didn’t get to leave until 1955. I was supposed to get out by oh, 1630.  
:eek:  
And I go back for more fun tomorrow… I may start bunking there! I was left babysitting ONE pt, who was unable to pee, but surgeon said, “let’s give her time”–well, doc, we DID that AND fluid and we ended up cathing her and sending her home with the catheter…

At least I don’t have to be in early tomorrow.  
Someday I just might read this MMP. Am too brain dead to even really type.

2nd shot of Euflexxa (I think that’s the correct spelling - essentially it “teflon” coats the bones in the knee joint so movement is easier)  
I think there is improvement - I wish they could shoot that into my lower back, too.

Morning everyone! Ever had one of those mornings where you wonder what in the world that awful sound is coming from the alarm clock? Yea, that was my morning. Wonder if I will have enough time to stop for coffee before work…and if hubby will let me, lol.

Breakfast has been consumed and now I’m feeling much more human. Thankfully.

Let’s see, working today all day, and then I’m off until July 3. yay!

Thanks for all the comments about Cullen. I think he is adorable and he already owns us. Especially the husband.

Oh, speaking of cats, this link cracked me up today. [Made me squee.](http://icanhascheezburger.com/2009/06/17/funny-pictures-i-gots-a-wedgies/)
