Grrrr. I just watched that ridiculous travesty of a “debate” on ABC and I was so irritated at the thinly disguised sandbagging of Obama that I called up ABC to let them know how annoyed I am with them, then went and made my very first political donation EVER. You can bet it wasn’t to HRC!
Morning all. I still have Teh Sick - I have now decided that it’s not going to be a cold, it’s actually laryngitis. So that means there’s no point going to Enzo’s class tonight 'cos I can’t talk to anyone. Bah.
I even declared myself too sick to go out for beerverages last night so it must have been bad. Tonight I will be festering on the sofa with my ailment, hoping for a little bit of sympathy from 'im indoors. Will I get it? Oh, is that a fighter squadron of pigs just passing by?
BooFae we’ll give ya sympathy. Hope you feel better soon. Too sick for beerverages is seriously sick. :eek:
Mornin’ Y’all! I’m workin’ from da cave so why am I up? I have no idea. Well, I did wake up to the call of nature and just stayed up. Right now I’m caffienatin’. I could and should be asleep cause I can but I’m not, so here I am.
Hmmmmmm… all the caffiene in my mug seems to have evaporated. I must go in search of more.
Oh and smoker did not go to the church last night. It’s goin’ today, which makes a lot more sense, cause it’ll be like daylight as opposed to night. Much more sensible to do such things in daylight.
Not really a great morning here. While I’m happy to say that I slept extremely soundly, it’s been all downhill since I woke up. I think that my dad is mad at me for letting my employee borrow my car. I haven’t heard from him since I told him that.
As a result, I’ve been sitting here on the loveseat quietly crying for the last 45 minutes. I only mention this fact to tell you that I’ve noticed that my tears don’t seem quite as salty as normal. Wonder if it’s because they’re not salty or because my tongue still feels freaking numb for about the last month! :rolleyes: :dubious:
I’m still lingering in TVLand because I only have one lunch today and it’s for 7 people and the main course and dessert are already finished.
doggio are you off work today? Oh and it could be worse. Nellie could be fartin’ in your coffee mug.
I got two interesting emails that I read a little bit ago. One was from my oldest niece. She and her ex divorced three years ago but are still good friends. Matter of fact I was kinda assumin’ they’d get back together cause well, he is just always around. They had two kids together btw. Anywho… she emailed me to tell me she married a gentleman from her church she’d been seein’ the past year. Well, knock me over with a feather, I had no idea! Plus she got a new job and is extremely happy with it. She hated her old job, poor thing. The second email was from a friend describing her son’s prom night. She sent a picture of him and his date. His date is pretty. I wonder how he ever managed to get a date with her. Ummm… not to be ugly about it, but he ain’t the best lookin’ person I ever laid eyes on. Nice kid, just butt ugly. So, they go to dinner, then to the prom, then bowlin’ after the prom. Bowlin’! In prom attire no less. She told me that a big group of kids went to the bowling alley to bowl after the prom. Ok, guys in tuxes and young ladies all decked out in prom finery in a bowlin’ alley, bowlin’! What is wrong with young folks these days! Why in my day, we went to the after prom party and drank like normal people would do! Though watchin’ somebody bowl in a floor length formal gown would be fun. The shoes wouldn’t match the dress though. That would offend my fashion sensibilities so it’s probably all for the best that I have never seen such things.
Damn you all start early.
I am up after a lousy night’s sleep–stoopit cat. Tonight he sleeps in the basement. Sorry to hear about the one who have Teh Scik. Hope you’re better soon.
My brother called–#1 son’s trip to Oz has been booked! He leaves mid-June and comes back early July. This trip made possible by a generous “grant” from my deceased sister. He is going with my brother (hmmm…will keep thoughts re hookers and blow and beer at bay for now). They will be scuba-diving and generally taking a gander at Australia. Don’t ask me the itinerary–I’d have to look it up. They’re going here; they’re going there; they’re going everywhere (not really).
So, between summer camp, this trip and our trip to Cape Cod in August, this 16 year old will have 3 vacas this summer. :eek: He may stay home when we go to the Cape so that he can work. Dunno yet. Life gets complicated once they decide to be complete and separate persons…
Bowling? In formal wear? How does one eat the nachos, then? And the shoes! Mercy me–it’d offend me and I’m not a gay male! :eek:
Then again, it sounds like more fun than waking up either sans virginity or hungover… or both.
Haze, the hat is adorable. Super cute. You must buy it, mostly because I haven’t been shopping in weeks and living vicariously through your EBaying is as close as I’ll get for weeks.
I miss working from the downtown office, where I had the option to go shopping on lunch break if I happened to get the itch. Speaking of which, time to get crackin’ on this resume so that I can apply for a job that’ll have me back there full time.
Swampy, your story reminds me of my prom night… my best friend and I got all dressed up (her in a medieval dress, me in a vintage 50’s gown), and our dates both wore formal tuxes with tails.
Later that night, we ended up popping into a local sketchy donut shop to grab a coffee, and several of the drunken patrons were convinced we were involved with a wedding. Why they figured a wedding party of 18 yr old kids would be sitting in an all-night white trash donut place is a little fuzzy, but rummies aren’t exactly known for their logic (tux + girl = wedding?).
All things considered, bowling is slightly more refined than the local [del]Cracky[/del]Coffee Time.
Mr. Lissar is home today because he has an doctor’s appointment smack in the middle of his workday. Nt is shrieking cheerfully. I wonder if the other member of the household will awaken, or put his pillow over his ears?
