Home from the doin’s over to the church house. Good food. Good drink. Good people. A fun time was had by all. Apparently Lutherans are as good at party time as are we Whiskypalians. 😃 And on that note time to go lie upon the bed and watch some teevee until sleepy time. Nitey Nite Y’all! ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 50 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 71 for the day. Looks like rain will move in this evenin’. Fine by me. We have an invite to have **N.O.L.** at Stonebridge Country Club after deheathenization. Stonebridge has a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge buffet that features boiled shrimp, so YUM! Speakin’ of deheathenization, this mornin’ the Bishop of the Southeastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America will be there this mornin’. Thus we are havin’ one big combined service. We do the same thing when the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Jawja visits. I met Bishop Gordy (the ELCA Bishop) last night. Seems like a nice guy. And now this… \ CLEARING THROAT \ \*\* HAAAPPPYYY BIIIRRRTTTHHHDDDAAAYYY TOOOOOO YOUUUUUU!!! HAAAPPPYYY BIIIRRRTTTHHHDDDAAAYYY TOOOOOO YOUUUUUU!!! HAAAPPPYYY BIIIRRRTTTHHHDDDAAAYYY DEEEAAARR DDDOOOGGGIIIOOO!!! HAAAPPPYYY BIIIRRRTTTHHHDDDAAAYYY TOOOOOO YOUUUUUU!!! \*\* Now I need more caffiene and should consider what to feed rumbly tummy. Also, must purtify for deheathenization. Happy Sunday Y’all! ---

First one up at Mom’s and still the only one up. So I’m having a diet coke and surfing quietly so they can sleep. I tell ya, going from a king to a double bed is a challenge. On the other hand, it was a cold night, and my sweetie is warm! 😃 **Jim** , I will definitely make an effort if you’re in the Balto-DC neck of the woods - preferably on a weekend, since we get up ridiculously early for work. I’m not particularly photogenic, but I’m nice, dammit! 😃 😃 😃 Last night was productive - as we watched TV and chatted, I crocheted 3 hats. Along with the ones I brought, that gives my mom about 10 to donate to the shelter, so yay! A friend of hers sent me some yarn (some of which went into the hats) and a whole bunch of knitting needles, some of which I don’t own, so I’m going home with goodies. Mom’s making waffles for breakfast, then she’s going to fix up my horrible haircut. And after, we’re heading home so I can do laundry and stuff. It’s 19°F here and I am not impressed. I’ve had quite enough winter, thanks. C’mon, spring!! Happy Sunday! ---

Oh yeah, and I hear a rumor that it’s a b-day for a mumper… 😉 **Happy [COLOR=“black”]doggio day!!![/COLOR]** Country club, **swampy**?? La-dee-dah!
