Dinner is eaten. Relaxing with a beerverage and some cooking shows. Yay for impending kittenage, Rockin’! ---

Thanks. **Sticks and Scones** , I’m trying to cut down on caffeine too. I’m trying to go from two caffeine “hits” a day (one in the morning, one in the afternoon) to just the morning one. Problem is, at a certain, uh, time of month I tend to be in a lot of pain, so I drink more caffeine than usual because I’ve heard it’s a painkiller. Then I gradually reduce the caffeine until I’m only drinking it in the mornings, and then it’s okay until the next month… Ah well, it’s better than other problems I’ve had in the past I suppose. There’s a package waiting for me at the post office. Maybe I’ll pick it up tomorrow. ---

Howdy Y’all! We had a fantastic start to VBS tonight over to good ol’ St. Pat’s. A lot more kiddies that I thought showed up. Never fear though cause we had plenty of sketties. More adult types than I thought would showed up as well. Thus, wine tastin’ and adult VBS time went very well. Plus also, da bear got the taco meat all prepped for tomorrow. It can heat up in the convection oven (love that thing!) while all the fixin’s are prepped. The kiddies seemed to really enjoy all their VBS activities so yay for that. Plus also, da bear was the taste tester for the cookies and ice cream sundaes. They were pronounced worthy. 😃 And on that note, 'tis time for da bear to go beddy bye. See y’all in the next MMP! Nitey Nite Y’all! ---

Connectivity problems are solved, but I now have a router hanging on my living room wall (DH was sure that was the best placement for it (sigh)). As far as we could tell, connectivity problems earlier were caused by a neighbor’s router apparently being powerful enough to interfere with ours. Now to figure out why the car’s alternator seems to be a touch flaky (groan). ---
