Leaping into the MMP

Technically its “Don’t get saucy with me, Bearnaise”.

(The OW and I say that to each other a lot)

Canes win!

I needed more laundry, all mine was clean. :D:p;)

Very convenient - boss walked thru the gate right behind me, so as we walked in, I told him. He wants 2 weeks, dammit, but he wants to talk to me later today. So we shall see. If I do have to come in for 3 days in the following week, at least I’ll have a long weekend before starting the week after. We shall see.

Meanwhile, long list left on my desk by Jason, so I’ve got work today. Yay!

that is what I mean by normal. Ours is similar but we add flour.

Now that sounds YUMMY! and I can use up those potato flakes I have!

Thanks!

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up, caffeinated, brekkied, and purtified, so no YAWN. ‘Tis 53 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 65 and sunny for the day, a typical late Winter/early Spring day in south Jawja. I am slackin’ a little bit before headed to irk cause I need to make a stop at one of my local places which is on my way to the orifice but does not open until eight. Then I get to go to the orifice and play in paperirk. Rah.

red OYKW had a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for a ‘nanner split, so, yeah, for us it could be called a “date night” bein’ as we pretty much are homebodies. :smiley:

OK, gonna go snoop a little on teh intartoobz and then off to irk!

Happy Hump Day Y’all!

Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Closing shift tonight.

FCM, congrats on the new job…from the way FCD describes it, you may find what you wished for (more work) to be one of those wishes you’d like to take back…hope not, and hope it all goes well for you.

Sari, good news on the mortgage, budgets are always the hardest thing in life and sounds like you’ve got a good deal.

Went out to lunch with the Branch yesterday for B-Day celebrations, and we went to P.F. Chang’s. I don’t eat Chinese (I am a very fussy eater) so I asked for the dessert menu and ended up with a 5-layer, massive hunk of chocolate cake…had to take it home with me and it made up most of dinner. Not healthy, I know, but chocolate…

Also got my new glasses, things seem just a bit sharper with them, but that could be simply imagination, but since insurance picked up the costs, I ain’t complaining.

Dry today but the rains are due to return on Thorsday.

Press on.

Conga rats, moooom - let’s hope the boss settles for less than two weeks and gets over the sulks. It’s nice to have work to do for a change though.

I am setting up evaluation questionnaires for a bunch of modules, the system takes forever and it keeps breaking. I am bored with this game! Of course, I could abandon the questionnaires and go to the departmental meeting instead. Which one is the lesser of the two evils, I wonder?

Had a 1 on 1 with boss - he wanted to know what he could do to keep me here. HAH! He’s not a happy camper, and I agreed to give him the full 2 weeks, so I’ll start the new job on Mar 21.

HUZZAH!!!

Grats and all that, Moooooooooooooooom

Yay MMMooooooMMM. Metal Mouse I thought I was the only one on the planet that does not like Chinese food. I’d rather go hungry.

Blurf At irk of course. What to do first? Busy , busy.

Yay Moomm!

Son off to school via bus. Daughter is sleeping through her alarm like a champ. Ah to be a teenager. :slight_smile:

Yesterday was leave paper-irk and bill paying. Today I may put away laundry. I also need to empty my linen closet and get rid of most of it. It’s so jammed in there that I can’t use most of it anyway.

Happy Hump Day.

I have a food hangover. Fluffy, neighbor I, friend A, and I went out to dinner last night to a steak and chop house that makes Peter Luger’s (Ruth’s Chris, Smith & Wollensky) look like a diner, and Outback like McDonalds. Fluffy and I discovered it over the summer quite by accident because the seafood place we wanted to eat at had a two hour wait. You can download the dinner menu here to see what our choices were. That chop in the picture does not do it justice. A ordered it, and the bone was easily a full foot long and two inches wide. Someone at the next table ordered one as well. Fluffy was in awe as she watched him devour the entire thing. They call this “prime rib”. It’s a brontosaurus chop.
I had a scallops appetizer, filet mignon wellington, and a pear and apple tart. OH. MY. GAWD. We also shared their Duck Fat Fries, and sweet potato brulée. The food was, and I am not exaggerating, orgasmic. When you visit me on Lawn Guylindt, we will go there.

Up and almost human. Thinking of what to have for lunch/dinner. Out of respect for Butters and Mouse I won’t state what the probable winner will be.

Server is unavailable so I can’t work. Hi!

**rosie **- that place sounds amazing! My dad used to take the whole fambly out to really nice restaurants when he got a bonus. We got all gussied up and everything. I miss those days…

Maybe it’ll inspire me to make a nice dinner. Maybe?

Awake, but not up and functional yet. Oldest son left for a trip to some festival with Wind Symphony. He’ll be gone until Friday. Youngest son is having breakfast. I’ll have to haul myself out of bed to take him to school in a few minutes. Middle son has no school or work today and is still asleep.

I have a busy day ahead of me and am enjoying my last few minutes of laziness before it all begins.

Boss wanted 2 weeks. Fine - that takes me to a Weds. Now he wants me to finish out that week. Fine - I’ll burn all of my remaining leave on the last day anna half.

He shoulda just let me go next Firday. Oh well…

Lunch is almost over - wonder if the server is back on line yet???

BLURFAGE Lunch was had. A very boring sammich.

I need a nap. Wonder if I could nap right here at my desk? I could put up the “training in progress” note on my office door…Hmmmm.

When Swampy sees the first appetizer he will change summer vacation plans to come up & pay you a visit.
Go for it Butters! Just remember no snoring as it tends to give away your ‘training’. :o

Blurf!

I had a totally blonde morning when leaving the house this morning. I walked off with only my purse (sans phone) and a cup of coffee. No lunch, no phone, no insulin kit. :smack: I picked up a salad at Mickey D’s across the street. Sweetie didn’t get a text (cause who the hell memorizes phone numbers anymore?) and my glucose will likely be a little out of whack when I test before supper. If I didn’t have afternoon meetings, I would have left at noon.
