It’s Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s! Yay! Free ice cream!
I’ve totally forgotten everything I read and everything that’s gone on around here. So I have nothing. But at least I remember the ice cream!
Good to know you have your priorities straight. 
Forgot to say: welcome Sherm! :: blows welcome kiss ::
I’ve been learning “San Diego Serenade” on the guitar. Look for me on your doorsteps tonight. 
Ew ew ew to centipedes. Incidentally, I call them “demon bugs” too… can’t remember where I picked it up, but clearly the usage is widespread through Toronto. 
I used to have to deal with them all the time back when I was living in basement apartments. One in particular was about as big as a piece of KD macaroni, except that KD macaroni doesn’t make a skritchy sound while in its death throes. shudder
Lunchifying at the moment. The caf is under construction, so it’s slim pickin’s… I ended up settling for a slice of veggie pizza, a bowl of tarragon mushroom soup and a bottle of mandarin iced tea. I’m currently regretting the iced tea because it has an obnoxiously orangey aftertaste which I’m not enjoying… bletch.
It’s sunny and cold. Perfect weather to walk home this afternoon, methinks. I think I’m not getting enough fresh air and/or exercise lately, which tends to drag me into a nasty slump.
The one on the wall was about an inch and a bit long.
DIE!! DIE!!
Ahem. I really hate them.
My ex-fiance liked them. This shows he was not a good person to marry.
Awww… I wanna go! I wanna see the fishies, then go over to the Planetarium!
Instead, I have a whole in-box full of bah. Presently, I’m on a four-state departmental conference call which is every bit as unproductive as it sounds.
The HD satellite is simply stunning. Before, we could watch the local news, for example, and know that the anchor was wearing a light blue shirt. Now, we can tell what kind of fabric it’s made of. I’ve had the stupid HD television for almost a year and a half - it was time to actually use it fully.
OTOH, there are some things better left to fuzzyvision. Last night’s Dirty Jobs was all about dairy cows. Lots and lots of cow poo, and even a caesarian birth. We’ve come a long way in what they’ll show - about two years ago, there was a Dirty Jobs bit on a dog groomer, and they blurred the dog’s rear end when the groomer expressed the anal sacs. Last night, there was not a single blurred pixel when Mike went past the elbow into a cow’s rear end to inseminate it, nor any blurring when they took scalpel to cow to rescue a calf trapped in a “torsed” uterus.
As for everything else upthread… yay, boo, needs a pinch more salt, hooray!
The call is over, the printer repairman is here, and I need more coffee…
If you order two kinds of chicken to serve to you clients, it is NOT my fault (or at least it shouldn’t be) if they decide to take one of each and you run out of food. :rolleyes:
Forgot to ask about the Shedd…
Do they still have the smallish but fancy aquarium with the seahorse legs? IIRC, it was an octagon shape and looking like it was made of polished brass or bronze? Just wondering as I’ve got its cousin. I just have to head over to Mom’s house near Chicago to get it out of her basement. Mine’s not quite as fancy, but I’m told the seahorse legs were a limited edition from the Jewel Aquarium company of Chicago. Looks similar to this one, actually.
Break time. We’ve got the kitchen about half packed. Second load of clothes in the washer and the dishwasher is about done, too. It was weird packing the kitchen junk - much of it used to be mine.
I’m taking future SIL to pick up his car this afternoon - one more hurdle crossed. And **FCD ** gets here tomorrow evening - YAY!! I need to organize this room before he gets here. I should probably make another list.
Advice to all who intend to marry - just elope and get it over with! Thank you!
Gah. I just want to buy a plane ticket!
It might be easier to just buy a flying pony.
Had a good N.O.L. provided by Reference work today. Conversation featured the correct way to tip a cow and what to do after you hit a deer (shoot it).
Complicated Roommate woke me up at 11 last night to tell me the project he’s been working on since November of last year’s been cancelled because Canadian Princess Bitch (one of his former bosses) was being a Princess Bitch. Clue for the clueless: don’t treat your web designers like children. They do know what they’re doing, even if you don’t. The Child of an Old School Programmer Has Spoken. Fortunately WOWCrack Roommate is going to hook him up with a job at Oil Changing Place until I can convince Complicated Roommate to get business revenge.
I’m wearing my new highly expensive it better still be wearable in 2013 bra today. So far it’s not too bad. Victoria’s Secret seems to be worth the money.
You have a point there! 
Lunch (N.O.L.) disaster averted.
Dishes washed.
Paperwork looms.
10 PM. Home at last (after driving to and from Jerusalem). Tired…
Skimmed.
Yays, boos, hugs, etc…
Glad VA people are safe.
Welcome Sherm!
Cite?
I hope the rest of teh week will be less crazy than this.
I also hope I get a pony in the mail :rolleyes:
Hi Noonie!!
I’ll be in my bunk…
Me, too! My my my, those are some sexy shoes!
Those are some shoes…
Wow. After a combined effort of 10 hours labor between me and TVMan, the laser printer is finally working. Hooray!!! Finally, I can print menus with relative ease. As a matter of fact, about 125 of them are printing right now.
Hope there aren’t any typos.
:eek: LL (from last week’s MMP) actually sorta washed her hands in the bathroom today. OK, so she just swished some water on them. But it’s a step in the right direction! Someone must have finally had a conversation with her. Glad it wasn’t me!
It’s five-effin-o’clock and I’m just now catching up. And, no, it didn’t take me that long to read alla the posts. I was a busy monkey today. Ah’s Tahred! Didn’t help that I slept like crap last night.
Nice shoes, haze. Howzit you always manage to take such good pictures of yourself to post? Mine always look like something pie’s schnoodle drug in.
gotti, I wanted to watch that show but I was too sleepy to stay up. I lurves me some Mike Rowe.
Appropriate comments all round.
