Yay for money in the bank **Rosie** **Mooomm** I sent you a tweet. Took the day off today and slept most of it away. Back to irk in the morn. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 64 Amurrkin out and muggy with a predicted high of 79 for the day. Nice but cooler than usual for this time of year in south Jawja. So, we’re havin’ a cool Spring! 😃 **flytrap and spidey** I’m good with whatever altitude we need as long as I get to see a Sri Lankan spider launched. I have become much too fascinated with Sri Lankan spiders. Ok, I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas, irk purtification must commence. Le Sigh. Happy Thursday Y’all! ---

If you’ve got any spare Sri Lankan spiders, please send a few over here. I have a bunch of academics who need something persuasive and I reckon a funky tarantula army is just what I need. Fit 'em all out with eight pointy sticks each and world domination is mine! Oh, and a bit Yay! for rosie - when’s the housewarming party? **Swampy** will need time to get prettied up and get his hair feathered properly… ---

> [@April\_R](#): > > This heartburn is getting old My most vivid preggo memory, aside from getting big as a bus, was the heartburn. If I avoided all fried foods, it helped, but still, I know where you’re coming from. Poor dear… My sweetie took today off, and once he gets his sleepy butt out of bed and into the shower, we’ll go out for breakfast, then run by Lowe’s. And after we get home, it should have warmed up enough for me to get out the rake and the mower and attack the ditch. Oh, yeah, envy me! 😃 I don’t know if it rained here overnight, but a front did move thru. It’s 46° and I think the high today will be low 60s - slightly below normal, but still tolerable. Similar temps for our weekend in Dewey Beach. Gotta take my hoodie so I don’t freeze if I decide to walk the beach. I may have to wake someone up - I’m hungry!!! Happy Thursday! ---

\*\*rosie \*\*- that sounds like a challenge!! 😉 OK, how many Mumpers can we cram into **rosie** ’s new residence?? First you place your bets, then we all show up with a biiiiiiiig shoehorn! 😃 \*\*BooFae \*\*- I suddenly have a mental image of a bear covered in feathers instead of bear hair. :eek: ---

Well, it does take a while to get back hair feathered just right. 😛 I say we can get eleventy thirty Mumpers in **Rosie’s** new digs with a shoehorn. However, everyone will need to leave their Sri Lankan spiders at home. **BooFae** pointy stick weldin’ Sri Lankan spiders would be a good name for a rock band! ---

Reading her changing from stunned disbelief to acceptance was amazing. Is there a link to these funny things that you speak of? I need a giggle. And a boat load of wake-the-heck-up. I is tired!

I don’t feel blurfy, but I’m having a blurfrific morning. I just mislaid a piece of paper that I had had in my hands literally moments ago, then I left a rambling voicemail message for someone because I was trying to multitask and forgot why I called her. Need more coffee. ---
