K2, P2 - A Knitty MMP

I think it’s one of the funniest words I’ve seen in a while.

Happy Birthday doggio

Happy Birthday, Doggio!

Sorry about the breakup, Tyger… So, how you doin’?

Haze, I’ll help you hijack the MMP, for only 25% of the ransom we get for returning it! :slight_smile:

Election results here are… interesting. :rolleyes:

That’s all for now. Nose, grindstone, apply…

Many happies, Doggio!

We’ve had snow for ages here, I know you lot have been laughing about it…but I’m getting fed up with it. Last night it started raining and finally we just had a night of frost instead of the white stuff. The house is still freezing cold, we are looking at spending around £25K on the place just to make it habitable for next winter. Bah. The builder’s personal opinion was that we should sell up instead of renovating, he said we need to gut the place but it’s full of the huge amounts of crap 'im indoors has hoarded and refuses to get rid of. Double bah.

In case any of you were ever remotely curious, this is 'im indoorsl. There. Another little bit of ignorance fought.

Just a drive by for now. I’ll catch up tomorrow, promise! I spoke with Lucy on the phone this evening, and while she is having a hard time staying “in the moment”, the fact that she is responding coherently and is “there” in the conversation is so…well, I cried after speaking with her.

My mouth is healing, water aerobics are still strenuous but becoming invigorating, and it is deep winter in Alaska. Hugs, yay’s, boo’s and smacks with a wet, smelly trout (or salmon) as applicable.

Oh hey! The very Happiest of Birthdays to you, doggio!!!

Ok, I feel the need to dip my toes into the MMP for the first time - (BTW, how do you work out who gets to do it?)

I recently learned to to knit socks, thanks to my crafty friends on the Dope, and have been possesed ever since. Socks galore! I’m swimming in wooly lower-bipedal-extremity-enclosures.

Would have posted on monday, but I’ve sick as a dog for days. Better today.

I wish I knew how to crochet anything more than squares. It looks so pretty and lacy and fun.

7ima - we volunteer and gardentraveler keeps a list

<AHEM> CLEARING THROAT <AHEM>

Later Y’all! Work time!

::VRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM::

I’m about to start doing socks, too, Septima! Have you used any particular patterns? I keep thinking I may never buy pre-knitted items again. Welcome to the MMP! (And welcome to anyone else I missed!)

I’m going in to work at my normal hour today; I’ve been in early every day this week and I’m tired. Really needed to be early, but I just couldn’t do it.

We’re supposed to have high winds and thunderstorms today. Joy. (We’ve had quite enough storms around here lately, thankyewverymuch.

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

What kind of migas do you make that require tortillas? Recipe please? The migas I’m used to don’t require tortillas, but I’ve never cooked them so I can’t give a proper recipe. All I know is that they involve sort-of-frying broken up… well… miga de pan. Miga de pan is the white part inside Proper Bread (i.e., stuff like baguettes or ciabatta, with a proper crust).

Still crummy. New fields keep being added to the tables we’d already analyzed. I did mention those cases where we have “table A (field A, field B)” and “table B(field B, field A)” and both need to be filled, didn’t I? We have other tables where we need to define “codes I’ll use for stuff” which consist only of the code and three descriptions for it - and then when you use the code elsewhere it doesn’t copy the descs!

Sorrryyyyy, I got assaulted by a tortilla!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DOGGIO!

Why those colors? Cos.
Gratz on the interview, mmouse!
I showed the post about being rejected by HR and accepted via a headhunter to The Hordie, he’s still snickering…

Somewhere in between The Pioneer Woman’s recipe and Kenny Shopsin’s. I’ve actually never made them before, but they sound good, and I want to try.

Happy Birthday, doggio!!!

Sorry. No fancy coding. Not up to it this morning.

Migas is a Tex-Mex dish down here in Texas!

Mmm, migas. I might have to make some this weekend.

Two more days until we move. Well, three including today. I’m off Friday, so tomorrow will be packing day for me - which should take about 1/2 a day - then we’re having a going away luncheon for one of our group who got promoted, and will be leaving to go to the new building. We have to go to the old crappy building. I think it’s still up in the air as to exactly where we will be sitting! These people, I swear…
Welcome, 7ima!!! (Cool nick, Rosie!)

Happy birthday doggio!

In other dog-related news, the Basset Hound did not win Westminster last night. Again. I expressed my displeasure with them.

Damned edit window won’t let me say blurf in all caps.:mad:

I missed my 0445 alarm, and hauled my considerable ass out of bed at 0625. I was waaaaay late for [del]my day in Hell[/del] work.

I got my medical provider CPR recertification last night, too.

That is all.

ETA: Happy Birthday, CanineServant.

Hippo Birdie, doggio!

That’s about all the fanciness I can muster up this morning, unfortunately. Guh.

On coffee #2 for the morning, and trying to focus my eyes long enough to get some work done. Unfortunately, it’s not working.

Doesn’t help that the office seems practically deserted this morning… where the heck is everyone? Did they give everyone an unofficial vacation day and forget to tell me?

Evening all. Waaaayyyy crappy day today - HRH and the muezzin woke me up at 5am! And then, the rest of the day looked like this (I don’t know the guy whose blog that is, but I didn’t have my camera with me to take pics of the thick, red dust haze that swallowed the country today!).

Happy Birthday Dogservant!!!

Prolly all your Israeli consultants still getting back from flying here to vote… (we don’t have absentee ballots. I know for a fact that people here at work had a devil of a time getting outbound seats on flights today, due to all the ex-pats popping “home” to vote and going back today to wherever they live/work.)

Also, forgot to congratulate Mousie on the interview! :slight_smile:

Omigosh, I have a nickname!

I’m using http://www.cometosilver.com/socks/SockClass_Start.htm, on recomendation from Marlitharn. It’s really easy to follow.

But…but…wah? 'Im indoors is OUTSIDE! I can’t handle the cognitive dissonance. I must rise and away to rest my head…

Tis raining out. Drippy, raw, nasty February rain. It’s like yesterday never happened. And I am a wee stressed because TH no longer goes away during the day, but is now camped out in our dining room, talking to people on the phone constantly and interrupting me to complain about the electric bill. I told him “we” shouldn’t leave the space heater on in the basement because it eats electricity and he got pissy and is back in the DR.

It’s going to be a long day. Anyone want to join me in constructing a colonial village house miniature? One at a time, please! It’s so nice to see such enthusiasm!
Doggio–many happy returns of the day.

Kawaiii!!! Or something. The only thing that would make that better is if he were stuffed with candy. :d
