**Baker** no floodin’ here in south Jawja. There has been some in nawth Jawja however. So, yay for not yet flooded though somewhat soggy south Jawja. 😃 **MOOOOOOM** if I could borrow the fifty thousand bucks I need as a down payment, I can make you a partner in a bidness to build ocean front condos in Nebraska.

I finally pulled the trigger on a [new HDTV](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AWKBZ16). Not looking forward to moving the old one since it is a beast and setting up the new on will be a royal PITA, but it had to be done. ---

Fortunately it only rained until about 9 this morning. The show was very good, thousands and thousands of people there. This was their first time doing it, so some adjustments are to be expected, but I was pleasantly surprised that it went so well. Now I’m home and exhausted. Heading to bed soon. ---

First off: **$2.99** - yes, you can borrow $50. Not from me, but I’m sure you can find someone who’d be willing to lend it to you. 😛 \*\*swampy \*\*- I’ve been to Nebraska - why would I invest my money in a place I have no intention of visiting ever again?? Besides, everyone knows Vermont has better oceanfronts, plus pretty change-of-season colors. Talk to me when you come up with a smarter plan. 😛 It was cool and a bit rainy overnight, but I didn’t hear the rain. I just see a big puddle in the driveway - it’s what we call a clue. 😃 I’m expecting another crab-free day just because it’s Sunday, but I suppose I might luck out - we shall see. Beyond that, no plans. Gonna wing it. We’ve been watching _Orange is the New Black_ on Netflix. According to **FCD** , it’s like _Oz_, only with women instead of men. I had no interest in seeing _Oz_, but this is pretty good. We’re about halfway thru the season. \*\*Sticky \*\*- glad the show went well! There’s a big fall craft show coming up in October, but I’ve found that making stuff and taking it to the little store to sell is better than sitting in a booth for hours and being ignored by passers-by. 😃 Happy Sunday, all! ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 76 Amurrkin out and a little breezy even with a predicted high of 94. Looks to be a right warm but pleasent Sunday here in south Jawja with only a twenty percent chance of rain even. Boiled bread? Okaaaaaaaaaay. **ΔΣ** glad it’s you and not me. I finally replaced the last of my old tvs last year. I now possess nice HD flat screens. At least they are easier to move. Yay for a good show **StickyBuns**! **MOOOOOOM** how about investin’ in a mountain resort to be located in northern Louisiana? Again fifty grand will get ya in on the ground floor! Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Then purtification for deheathenization must commence. N.O.L. at the good local seafood place today. YAY! Happy Sunday Y’all! ---

Megablurf. Went to friend’s birthday last night- maybe drank a bit too much of the punch, so woke up feeling awful and threw up- except I think I’ve actually caught a bug or something as well 'cos it’s now afternoon, I don’t feel hungover any more, but I’m throwing up everything I try and eat or drink. Bah. Good job I didn’t have much in the way of plans today- so the day shall be spent watching cat videos in my jammies. ---

I forgot that _Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me_ was in town on Thursday. I’m listening to the show online now. I’m a bit less miffed that I missed out on tickets since neither Paula Poundstone nor Ms. Amy Dickenson was there. Irish Storyteller is still honor-bound to tell me all about seeing it in person, though. ---
