Off to our favorite diner. Yum.
Back from Doo Dah Deli and Lowe’s. Doo Dah’s cracks me up - they give out these 10% off coupons, and when they run out, like this morning, they will give back the one you just redeemed.
**FCD **and daughter are futzing around with the aquarium at the moment. As soon as they’re done, we’re going to get the plumbing done in the bathroom. With luck, before the day is over, we’ll have the tub installed and a new toilet flange in place. Then I can start on the walls. I’ve also got to do a couple of loads of jeans and a load of whites. Good times!
It’s a beautiful, cool day, and our yard is covered with leaves. In a few days when things have dried out a bit, I’ll get out there with the mower and start mulching the leaves. I may drag the sucker vac, too. That’s going to be an unending job for the next 2 months or so…
That’s all for now. Be good, be safe, be all you can be. 
Yes, I know. Especially since I’ve got a 2.5lb bag at home that got melted in the sun that I was going to bring here and chip away at (no pun intended). But I keep forgetting!!!* :mad:
*Wouldn’t it be nice if the hardest part of life was forgetting to take a bag of chocolate chips somewhere.
I’ve been up for awhile now, sipping coffee, reading the news, playing Mah Jong, cruising the Dope. In other words, I haven’t done a damn productive thing.
I should get a pedi today, but I’m not sure how motivated I’ll be to go anywhere today.
Rosie–with friends like that, who needs enemies? I think that may well define the term: frenemies… I cannot stand the smell (or taste) of gin due to a similar experience (but without the frenemies bit).
I did indeed watch the 4th ST movie last night. I just couldn’t sleep. So, I went to bed at 0300, only to be awoken by #2 son at 0330, 0430 and 0530, due to his having “chest pain”. He’s 11. IMO it’s pleuritic pain from coughing so much. Turns out he was hungry (and had slept most the late afternoon and evening). TH got up at 0530 and fed him. He is truly not feeling well. 
Today is Daughter’s 20th Birthday! Hard to believe. 
We’re skyping in a minute.
Hey everybody! I’m off so I’m laundering and mancleaning the apartment. I’m bowling this afternoon. A lady in the Booster Club is trying to set me up with a friend of hers.
Pie, just make an über chocolate chip cookie with that lump.
swampy, does your priest know about your dark side?:eek:
rosie, you had evil friends.
Taters, just declare it a Sloth Day, and do nothing.
doggio does this friend have a good personality? 
Oh, and the Priest does indeed know about my dark side. We’re doin’ a “trunk or treat” thingy at the church next Saturday. He mentioned that dressing as a Saint would be a good idea. I said I’d come as a dead person because all the Saints are pretty much dead. He told me all I need do is show up with some candy and that would be enough.
BTW I like the idea of sloth day. I don’t really have anything I need to do today or tomorrow so I shall sloth around. Ok, I will do some cookin’ for the week but bein’ as that means throwin’ stuff in a couple of slow cookers it’s not like real work. I am considerin’ a pot of chicken 'n dumplin’s for tomorrow since I’m off. That’s a little bit but not too much work.
We stopped at the sto’ after churchification and got some deli stuff to make sammiches. I likes me a good deli style sammich!
I haven’t met her yet, she’s been described as “geeky” She’s seen a picture of me, the one in Vegas where I’m lying on the floor drinking the Flyer’s 99 proof banana punch.
The idea that getting someone drunk as a joke is abhorrent to me. I don’t see how it differs from giving someone food poisoning or slipping a roofie into a drink. It’s assault, not a joke.
My husband was at a party and asked for a coke because he was thirsty. He downed it really fast. His friends thought it would be funny to half fill it with rum. Yeah, real funny.
I’m not anti-alcohol, but I don’t understand the appeal in getting drunk. How is it fun to not remember what happened to you, waking up in a pool of vomit. Sorry - one of my hot-button issues.
The bathtub is in place and the plumbing is just about done. We forgot one elbow, so **FCD **will pick it up on his way home tomorrow. He’s quit for the day, which is fine. I’ve got second load in the washer, first in the dryer, and a load from 2 days ago waiting to be folded. The floor needs some serious vacuuming. And yet here I sit… Guess I should get in gear.
I don’t get the getting people drunk thing, either, FCM.
I would like to be a slug today, but it’s already too late for that. I’ve been to church, brunch and then worked an hour in the garden at church again. Then I went to the Mexican grocery store and then to Whole Foods. Now I need to get some stuff done in my own garden.
So off I go…
Back soon.

I had a nappy poo. I also just drank a real Coke for the first time in a while. Got a kinda buzz from it.
I think I’ll smoke some chicken and maybe a couple each of beef and pork roasts tomorrow. It’s all stuff that freezes well, especially the roasts. I imagine we’ll eat up the chicken (some boobs, laigs and thighs) durin’ the week. It’d be kinda nice to have some already cooked roasts in the freezer to take out, thaw and heat up. MMMMM… Or maybe I will just sloth. If’n I smoke then I will have to clean up the smoker and that is work.
I have to make this decision. If I’m gonna, I need to take stuff out of the freezer.
Why must my life be so full of such hard decisions!
Are you sure that was Coke? I mean, now you want to smoke chicken… :dubious:
Am home from errands and enjoying peanut m & m’s. And they’re MINE, all MINE!
#1 son has his GF over. She is so sweet. Seriously, I’d be fine with them having a long term relationship. #2 son is still sick and is now in the tub. Anyone else like to take hot baths when they’re sick? I do. He says he feels fine, but his eyes are glassy and he looks droopy.
Laters!
**rigs **- I want peanut M&Ms… If you share with me I’ll be your bestest friend forever and ever!!
I’m thinking mushroom quesadillas for supper - quick and easy. I haven’t had lunch, so I’m stahvink right now. I think I’ll start sauteeing the mushrooms with onions, then feed the critters, then throw the quesadillas together. Wish I had some shrimp thawed - that would make a nice addition. Oh well.
They have a nice draw but they are hard to keep lit!
The bathroom is DONE. The last of the wood work went up today.
Time for my 2nd Sunday nap.
My quesadillas were good, but the doggone tortillas were stuck together in the package. Guess I won’t be buying that brand again.
**BBBobbio **- my bathroom isn’t done yet. You can come help me!! <insert puppy dog eyes here>
I didn’t think so.
Time to fold my whites, then assume the knit posture. Can’t believe the weekend is over. Stoopit short weekends.
:dubious: You haven’t heard VWife whine about it taking 2 years (literally) to do. Casa Fairy works faster than me.
I have a confession.
I dusted and vacuumed. Both things do not qualify as sloth.
I have sinned against sloth and I humbly repent.
What should my penance be?
Remember, this is a sin against sloth, so all penance should be of a slothful nature.
Slothful Penance would be a good name for a rock band!
I give up. What does MMP stand for? I looked for it on various acronym sites and couldn’t find it.
It’s specific to this board. It’s the Monday Morning Post. Each Monday someone starts a thread, the first few people post on topic and then we spend the rest of the week just chatting and catching up with each other.
It’s a nice place to hang out!
