It’s been pretty busy here today and I even sold some jewelry! But I have a feeling that this last hour is going to be dead because the festivities have concluded and people are starting to go home.
Nava, sounds like Sheboss needs a visit from the Canadian Trapdoor Alligator.
Damn that trapdoor alligator. It ate everyone else in the MMP. smacks it with a rolled-up newspaper
I bring you love on this commercial holiday celebrating same. But no invitations to parties. God no. That’s just asking for people to take offense.
Phew.
The house is tidied up and so clean it’s positively sparkling, I’ve changed out of my cleaning clothes into something a little bit prettier, and I’ve got pretty much all of dinner assembled. All that’s left is to await the guest of honour, who’s still at work. Guess I’ll finish up my thing-a-day post in the meantime.
js, that’s great news. Your kitteh deserves some extra scritches tonight. 
mmm - supper was good - rotissed poke, smashed baking N.O.T., broccoli. Very yum.
Ziva may be smarter than we think. **FCD **found her curled up on our bed and the electric mattress pad was turned on. Maybe it was a coincidence… maybe…
Daughter is about to empty the dish washer. I’ve got to get the towels out of the dryer and the sheets out of the washer. Then I’ve got some more knitting to get done. Tomorrow will be ceramics day. I also have to spot clean the carpet - Taz made lots of hork spots all over. All are small, but I’m not getting on hands and knees to scrub them. I’ll just get out the carpet cleaner.
This has been a wonderfully chill day. I needed it.
Yay!
I need to clean also. I went out and acquired an additional lamp (one that swings so I can hold it over my knitting), also a nice raincoat from the Cancer Society thrift store (1/2 off, so it was only $20; I saw it last week and thought about getting it, but didn’t; good thing I waited), and a pretty sweater to take apart.
I’ve been knitting and watching It Takes a Thief on hulu. Also, my brother called me from the airport. He’s getting work done while waiting for his flight to Munich for his ski vacation.
Had spaghetti carbonara with peas for din-din. And some apple turnovers.
Guess I should go ahead and do a bit of cleaning. Although I don’t really feel like it…
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

I’m dizzy. Mostly because I’m so tired. But I feel too dizzy to actually get up and go take my pills so I can go to bed. Go figure. Maybe I’ll just sleep on the couch. :rolleyes:
Well, I’m almost done with the homework for the day. I needed to catch up and do sketches and the daily assignments for our ‘Zoo project’ (we have to design signs for two animals). We’re supposed to do eight sketches for each, but it’s not happening. So I’ve got four or five for each and I’ll pick out fonts after I take a break. So Monday the prof can take a look and I’ll probably end up doing one or two more sketches for each, so all es bueno.
He can’t complain about me not having research materials either. I’ve got tons and tons. Well, maybe not so much for the penguins, but, sheesh! they’re penguins! They live in Antarctica. How much research do you need? I didn’t fill out his little forms though.
I told my roomies I’m single and they’re playing matchmaker. Awesome.
And yah! Sushi tomorrow with Rick and Antinor01 and maybe Asimovian!
Another 5am wake-up call. If I don’t get a full night’s sleep soon, I am going to throw someone out the window! YAAAWWWWNNNNNN!
I got stuck working all day, I missed the game. Thank God for that, the Canes lost 5-1. More work tomorrow.
Dotty, Hubby, HRH, MIL, or are you going to defenestrate the whole country?
Tyger, enjoy the Fest. They rock!
Hooray for jskitty eating!
:waves at MBG:
:mad:
I heard that! Go clean teh restrooms!
I did mean to get him something for his wall, but I ran out of time - maybe for his birthday. He really liked the glasses though.
Back at my parents house for a bit. Have a 9am workshop tomorrow - ugh.
Why am I awake now? Last night was icky. TVMan was kind enough to get my pills for me and after that I tottered up to bed. I was too dizzy to sleep for awhile. After that I had a headache. So why am I awake at this ungodly hour? Oh yeah, bladder wake-up call. :rolleyes: I imagine it will be naptime in an hour or two again.
Lots of grocery shopping to do. I’ve got a big breakfast in the morning (40 people) and then two medium sized lunches afterwards.
No, it’s just that my wife keeps buying them so I’ve been grabbing random crap out of my voluminous cooking supply and throwing it together in the Large Ingredient Collider. It’s like the Large Hadron Collider but tastier and less likely to summon forth universe-ending strange matter.
Blurf.
Blurf, indeed. Scruffy decided at 6:26 (according to the bedroom clock) that she had to GO OUT NOW!! So I got up and took her and Bernie out. When I came back in, I heard **FCD **in the shower - he’s just left for work. On a holiday weekend?? 
He’s helping out a coworker who is allegedly in over his head. My sweetie is a good guy, but doggone, weekends are for relaxing!
Ziva has pretty much taken over the tower - poor Taz… Daughter said they almost sorta started rasslin’ last night, which would be a good thing - I want them to be rasslin’ buds. She’s still a bit timid - if you walk toward her at a normal pace, she’ll bolt, but if you approach v…e…r…y… slowly with your hand held out, she *might *stay put or come forward. Or bolt.
Back to weekends are for relaxing - I’m going to futz in my studio today. Not claying. Organizing, sorthing, thinking. I’ll pull out the pieces to give away. I also want to see if I can make a combined piece with what I have - maybe a fountain or something. And there are a few pieces that will remain in inventory for the next craft sale.
It’s cold - winter has returned. And JoAnne’s site is down so I can’t order the yarn I want - grrrrr. Other than that, just another day in paradise. I should probably do something about breakfast. Probably…
Happy Sunday!
I was going to clean up the house today but since 'im indoors is likely to be playing WoSW all day, I don’t see why I should be the only one doing any domestic chores. Besides, I vacuumed the floors on Friday and changed the bedding and did the laundry and went grocery shopping. That’s enough for one weekend.
Instead, I shall retire to the sofa and continue reading “Kushiel’s Scion” and wishing my life was anything but how it is.
Dotty - buy two handbags and a watch. Then distract him with the fancy watch while you hit him with the bag full of rocks. That’s what I’d do. And then shave his eyebrows off while he’s flat out on the floor.
<Note to self - don’t get BooFae angry> :eek:
I’ve been watching the kittehs interact - they actually almost played together!!! Ziva is much more playful, but Taz was watching her, tail a’twitchin’, and he stole the mouse toy she was batting around. Of all the cats we’ve had over the years, she’s definitely the most playful.
I need breakfast. I don’t know what I want, but I need something. I’s hongry! Where’s the Breakfast Fairy when you need her??
MENTAL NOTE:
Never, ever do anything to PO BooFae :eek:
Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’ here. Need to go get purtified for churchification/work soon. It’s dreary, gloomy and rainy today. Might as well be at work I reckon.
Ok, gotta get movin’. See Y’all in the next MMP!
We romantically had QD, Lazy Husband, and Driving Husband over last night. They stayed until we kicked them out so we could sleep. It was very romantic. We went to sleep.
I have small person saying “Ooooh! Oooh!” and pulling my arm. Going.
Large Ingredient Collider. Hee.
Glad Ziva’s starting to be part of the family, FCM.
Adds voice to chorus of “Never PO BooFae!”
Glad to see you’ve got lots on your schedule tomorrow, Pie.
And I have to say that Amy Dickinson + Agony Aunt Ryl = comedy gold.
ETA: Oh, LiLi, how romantic!
Gotta clean up a bit around here and then get ready for church. And eat breakfast. Not necessarily in that order.
Back later. In the meantime…
Hugs.
