yay for the bicycle riding kid! We had this gigundo driveway we called the parking lot (it had room for 12 cars) in which I learned to ride my tricycle, my bike with training wheels, roller skates (the kind that clamped ontp your shoes) and my bike without training wheels - at which point I felt like I had freedom since I had my own transportation. We’d moved before I got my learner’s permit, and at that house our driveway only help 6 cars Who was asking about S&G songs? I had several of their albums and most of their songs memorized ---

Yay on the good mark, **rigs**! Waiting for Mr. Lissar to finish showering so we can trot off to church. And then it’s loafing time until work this afternoon. ---

Up, breakfasted and caffienateing. Critter is fed and litter box cleaned and seocnd load of laundry is in. Libby woke me up this morning by sitting my shoulder - I was lying on my left hand side at the time - and gently pawing my cheek. She wanted to play. I am no longer going to to get to sleep past 7.30 on the weekends… I am going to clean the kitchen, vacuum the house and mop the floors then get purtified and head to the maul…I need a new pair of jeans. Got most of the errands ran yesterday and started to pull things out of closets to pack. It feels weird pulling winter clothes out when it was 84 degs here yesterday Laters! ---

Whoa. chill folks. 😉 I feel like I’m about to get lynched here. The cat is still under the sofa. To be honest, I think it’s scared of Cloud Maiden. While she was out last night getting beer, I managed to lure it out with some kibble. It sat down next to me and then started rubbing itself against my knee - so adorable! When she heard the front door open she was startled, but I picked her up and tried to soothe her, then handed her to Cloud Maiden. But the kitty darted under the sofa again and hasn’t come out since. To be fair, Cloud Maiden has tried several times to drag/force her out (all with good intentions) so the cat is probably still wary. I told Cloud Maiden that we should wait a week and see what happens. **rosie** , the S&G fangirl is me. 😃 I too have most of their songs memorized. **rigs** , just invite me over one day. 😉 I’d love to dig through that collection, it sounds awesome. ---

_yawn_ All right. I have to go to the store, unless I want to eat nothing but ramen noodles today. But that means I have to get dressed and go out, dammit, and it’s wet and chilly. I don’t wanna. But I do wanna eat, so I guess I’ll go get it over with! ---

Hop on the Metra going to University park, get off at Homewood and call me from there! Easy peasy. Jeesh-and you have higher edumacation and all… 😃 I am wasting time today. I seem to do that a great deal. Thing is, I had yesterday all mapped out and it worked well. But I made no plans for today. I find I am horrible at motivating myself without “plans” or at least a to do list. I will work on grad school stuff later. Just back from getting shoes for Daughter who is going to Homecoming this weekend. She’s going with a group of friends. ---

So, who’s up for tomorrow’s MMP? I’m sleepy but can’t nap cause if’n I do I won’t fall asleep like I should tonight and I have to get up early tomorrow so here I sit yawnin’. _YAWN_ Maybe I’ll go jump in the pool. That usually livens me up. And it’s warm enough. 92 Amurrkin degrees out there and it’s Fall. Not that I’m complainin’ bein’ as I am a Summer baby and all. An usher didn’t show up this mornin’ so I [del]got drafted[/del] volunteered to sub. It’s hard to get a count when people keep showin’ up late. I ended up not puttin’ the little piece of paper with the count on it into the wafer bowl until the sermon. Fortunately nobody came in after that. I still say we should get to pin “Tardy” badges on people who come late just cause I think it’d be funny. Ok, off to entertain myself cause ol’ y’all know who ain’t here right now. Hope I don’t get in any trouble cause I’m unsupervised. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=anyrose] wow - someone in their 20s excited about vinyl. I’m surprised you even know what to play them on :eek: 😛😃 [/QUOTE] Well, my parents were pretty crazy about music, so we had a huge vinyl collection when I was younger. So there’s that nostalgia for me - plus I just like the way vinyl records sound. They’re just cool, you know? 😛 That Guy, damn his eyes, has a pretty good vinyl collection and has offered to give me one of his S&G records. The one I’m really looking for is _Wednesday Morning, 3am_, but apparently that one’s hard to find nowadays.
