(in point of fact, I haven’t done much of anything since getting back from lunch, but that’s neither here nor there) “Neither here nor there” I wonder who ever thought that phrase up, and where they thought “it” was. ---

Feeeeeeel the muskrat luuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrve!!! The periodontist remains unbitten. Well, by me anyways. Somebody else mighta bit him and he wouldn’t tell, cause, you know, if he told, it might give somebody else ideas. Anyways, I’m all numf in mah mouf. Fool told me not to drink using a straw but I’m all numf moufed, so how the heck else am I gonna be able to drink. So I’m using a straw but very carefully. I’m thirsty! ACBG offered to come play nurse (hee! he is a nurse!) but I said no cause I’m hoping that in the not too distant future, I’ll want to go to sleep. I want the numfneth to go away so I can take one of the pain pills I have, which promises to make me drowsy. Truthfully, I wouldn’t mind nine or ten hours sleep. ---

Well, so much for my nice quiet weekend! It appears we are having a party on Saturday. This means I get to bust my ass cleaning on Friday and part of Saturday and cook for a bunch of people. Now, normally, I’m a gracious hostess, and I’m happy to do this. But…I didn’t want to do ANYTHING this weekend. I am full of grrrrrr, but I need to change my attitude. Sigh… ---

While I appreciate all the interest in my ceramics and the purchase thereof, you fail to recognize that my stuff isn’t all that good. But some day when it’s maybe good, I may have a website, and I may share that with whoever might ask. Maybe. That’s me, definitive and stuff. 😃 ---

Well, when this next class is over and when I decide which pieces are going to specific family and friends, I will make some pieces available to MMPers willing to foot the bill for postage. I’m not going to sell my stuff since I really don’t think it’s worth selling, but I could go broke packing and mailing it out. So there will be a post or a thread or something in a few weeks. Be on the lookout. And thanks for stroking my ego. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mmp-garage-sales-an-early-fathers-day-and-a-birthday-party/357715.md?page=10) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mmp-garage-sales-an-early-fathers-day-and-a-birthday-party/357715.md?page=12)
