I told hubby today that I wanted to splurge some of my bonus money on a nice handbag. He told me it was a waste of money (the same man who 4 months ago spent about the same amount on a watch). I nearly told him to shove his hand up his @ss, all the way up to his expensive-watch-wearing wrist! And right now, when I was supposed to be having an afternoon nap, His Lordship is snoozing while I deal with an overtired, boisterous, fractious toddler! Men - can’t live with 'em, can’t kill 'em! :mad:
Up, caffeinated off to work.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’ on a rainy VD mornin’.
We’re supposed to attend a doin’s this afternoon. I don’t really want to, but I guess I shall, especially since I agreed to and have already made coleslaw. I don’t want to though. I’m sure once we get there it’ll be fun.
Dotty by the bag anyways. You deserve it. If hubby says anything, fill it full of rocks and hit him with it.
Haze whisky and shot glasses sound like a fine guy gift. Ya done good!
sturmy I have been wonderin’ if you won like a lifetime supply of scallops. 
Once again, nummy soundin’ recipe.
Nava if you do get the security video, remember you must share it here also.
I have a burnin’ desire to play Redneck Life.
ETA: I googled Redneck Life. Now I really, really, really wanna play!
Hope you told him that if he gets to spend that much on a watch, you get to spend same on a bag, Dotty.
I woke up thinking about cool Excel features. (I’m trying to up my team’s Excel skill levels; it’s good for them and helps me out a lot if they have better skills.) Apparently, this mission has taken over my brain.
Of course, once I got the laptop fired up, I was distracted by knitting stuff. I started up the hat that goes with my scarf last night. And a wide scarf/shawly thing to practice decorative stitches on.
What? No Dogs Playing Poker, Haze? I’m disappointed.
So, will you be asking Supermegaboss to tell Sheboss to chill, Nava?
Cool shoes, LiLi.
Sister Myotis made me giggle, swampy.
Added recipes to the blog.
Guess I should consider breakfast.
Back later.

Thanks to Complicated Roommate’s mad emulatin’ skillz, I now have a DOS emulator on my computer so I can play Redneck Rampage. It’s fun but so very NSFKids.
I’m here in Flea Marketland and I’ve just had some tasty sausage gravy and biscuits. Ok, off to do something a bit more productive…
But you can make their lives a living hell of misery.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Mornin’.
So The Boy zipped off to work an hour ago and I’m mopey. However, I’ve decided that as his Valentine’s gift, I’m going to scrub and mop and tidy up until the place sparkles and then cook him a lovely dinner since it looks like I’ll at least have him to myself for the evening. It’s not particularly romantic in a roses-and-champagne sort of way, but it’ll do.
LiLi, I likes the shoes.
{{Dotty}} Boys are dumb, even the ones that look like grown-ass men. To teach him a lesson, you should’ve shaved off his eyebrows while he slept.
Nava, bosses are dumb too. Unfortunately, you’re unlikely to catch SuperMegaBoss sleeping in order to attempt eyebrow-shaving, so I guess a catfight is your best bet.
Haze, good call on the glasses. Hope he likes them.
OK, I’ve got a to-do list a mile long, so I suppose I should get started on it. The cats don’t seem inclined to pitch in by doing the dishes, despite the fact that I’ve showed them how its done a million times now. Lazy spoiled brats, they are.
Good morning, campers!
I was awakened by a puppeh who wanted to go out to pee. Interestingly, I was able to fall back to sleep after I let her back in. FCD and I checked on the boat, skritched the Marina Cat, went to breakfast, went to Lowe’s, then he got a haircut (#2 all over.)
I’m going to do laundry and sort thru my ceramics, then take pics and upload them for the next round of giveaway. I’ve started knitting another helmet liner, and I intend to get it done this weekend. The son of one of FCD’s coworkers just got to Afghanistan, so I want him to give it to her on Tuesday.
All in all, it’s gonna be a chill weekend.
Carry on!
I was planning on sleeping in a bit but the neighbors are apparently out of town and their dog was doing that annoying bored barking thing–just like a metronome, bark…bark…bark…bark…for like a half hour so I had to get up in order to holler at him to hush and go lie down. Luckily for me, he listens to me since I scritch him over the fence and give him treats sometimes. Stoopit animals, if it ain’t one of my four bugging me it’s the rest of the world’s!
I’m still drying and folding the megaloads of laundry I did yesterday, how much fun can one woman have? :rolleyes: I love having all clean clothes, though, so that takes a bit of the sting out.
Dammit, neighbor dog is going off again, hang on…
I’ve been avoiding walking the dogs lately because of Bear’s horrible pulling habit–he’s fine if he’s walked alone, but whenever Widget’s along Bear just yanks and pulls and darts all over the place and I just got to the point where I couldn’t stand to walk him. Leaving Widget home isn’t an option and leaving Bear seems unfair as well, it’s not his fault he’s badly trained. Nope, it’s Himself’s fault, because he is NOT doing his part to train his dog and I’m kinda pissy about that. So yesterday a friend wanted to go for a walk and I really wanted to take the pups, so I went out to the PetSmart and got him a Gentle Leader headcollar. Getting it fitted was a treat, and he fought like the dickens at first but soon he got used to it and I have to say it was the nicest, easiest walk I’ve had with him so far! Himself doesn’t like the collar, vocally so, but fuck him–he’s never ONCE taken both dogs for a walk by himself, and when he went with me once and saw how Bear behaves when he’s with another dog he was shocked at how unruly he is. The combination of husky pulling power, labrador insensitivity to correction and the extreme dopy stubbornness of both combined is a powerful force and I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m just not up to training him the “right” way, so headcollar it is! Besides, I was starting to get really mad at his behavior and that’s no way to approach training…
Those are very cute shoes, LiLi, that’s very much my daughter’s style–I think I’ll forward that link on to her.
Buy TWO purses, Dotty, and tell him the second one is for his bitching. That oughta shut his mouf next time!
Good present, Haze, although I’m a bit shocked that an Irishman doesn’t have whisky glasses–isn’t that a requirement or something? 
Thanks for the reminder, goddess, I have a book on hold at the library I need to pick up!
Today is housework day. Bleah. The rug has more hair on it than all the animals combined, yet they are not naked. This does not compute! Himself said he would mop the floor, since he’s the one who keeps forgetting to wipe off the dog’s feet when they come in, but I ain’t holding my breath for it! Lazy sod…
Latah!
Good morning everyone. Up and caffienating.
Redneck Life was interesting. I came in second, but only because I managed to buy some of the teeth I’d lost back.
Mr. Taters and I will soon change into workout clothes and go jogging. We need to wake up a little bit first.
We’ll probably go see a movie tonight, but I’m not sure we’re going to do the dinner thing.
Dotty, I like Swampy’s suggestion re: the purse. I strongly suggest you do it!
Not much else going on, just hanging out for the moment.
Buy purses, dammit.
We’re doing chores, and ordering romantic Hakka for Mr. Lissar’s birthday dinner. I’m making a version of Bakerella’s chocolate chip cookie dough brownies for him, but with peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough. Yum.
I should be cleaning the fridge. Off I go.
My accomplishments today:
- Made coleslaw
- Had nap
- Ate lunch
- Got dressed to go to doin’s in a little while
- Post here
MY CAT ATE SOMETHING!
Please excuse the shouting, but she ate something! She hasn’t eaten on her own since before the new year. I can’t decide whether to laugh or cry.
I’m back from our run. I can see that not having done any form of exercising in awhile has really brought my stamina down. I could have run more, but Mr. Taters was worse off than me! I couldn’t believe it. I thought I’d have all kinds of trouble keeping up with him, but it was the other way around.
At any rate, our plan is run a little more each time we go out. We plan to run again on Monday.
One load in the washer, one in the dryer. That’s all I’ve done today. Chillin’ is great!
Just got back from a Valentine’s get away. It was nice!
Now must clean house because the family is descending on us tomorrow to celebrate my son’s bday.
My house is gross. Must clean. I dope instead.
Dotty- buy the purse. Your bonus. Your decision! 
Been busy – working on the weekend again! 
Am not caught up – hugs, yays, boos, gropes etc., distribute as wanted.
Happy Valentine’s day, everybody!
Oh…there was an MMP this week? I kinda missed it, having my head firmly planted in my butt all week.
So, hi there, and Happy Heart’s Day!!!
:: re-insert head ::
I’m absolutely NOT planning on asking Supermegaboss to tell Sheboss to chill out, as that would have the direct effect of freaking Sheboss through the roof. I do be planning on telling Supermegaboss what Letizia Ortiz told her boyfriend when they were announcing their engagement, when she cuts me off…
the fiancé (now husband) was Prince Felipe of Spain. One of the reporters asked her a question, he started to answer and she told him “hey love, let me speak!”
But without the second word, mind you. I wouldn’t want Supermegaboss’ husband to think I’m intruding on his lawn.
MBG, I do hope you’ve inserted the head on the neck this time, the other position sounds painful as well as smelly.
