Y’all are driving me to virtual pets.
Ugh.
Almost done with Personal Statement Essay (what do you say! lemme into your grad school program?)
I have done none of what I should do today (except the essay). I am a slug.
nothing else to contribute.
This thread is losing it’s oomph. Here–I’ll take off my sweater… 
It would seem that everyone I’ve ever had a problem with on the phone heard I’m receptioning again and decided to call today.
I desperately need a nap. I’ll use Rigs’ sweater for a pillow …
I’ve got six hours of training tomorrow and another four scheduled for Thursday for new equipment that I’ll probably never have to use or sell to someone. I’m going to far too many meetings and training lately here. So if’n you don’t heear from me for the next coupla days, I’ll be comatose from the training.
Is it sit on your butt and watch slides training? At least you could sneak nap in then. If it’s hands on; well I guess your pooch is screwed. I loathe most of the meetings I’m required to attend. In my view, unless something really and truly being accomplished at the meeting, meetings should not last more than 20 minutes.
Okay, I’ll contribute. I went to Lowes and bought my new bathroom mirrors at lunch time. they have cool silver frames on them. There are three of them. Two ovals for over the sinks and a big rectangle to go between them. I will need that because I sit up on the vanity to put my makeup on. I need to be up close to the mirror so I don’t end up looking like Tammy Fay…I hope. I hope I don’t get rear-ended on the way home that would be totally un-Jake.
fcm, did you change Murray’s food cause of the puking or did it start after you changed it? If the latter did you do it gradually mixing the two together till it was all the new food? If not, it may be the reason for the puking. You probably already know all this.
rue, expressing dog anal glands can’t be much fun but I’ll bet it’s better than doing it to a cat. 
riggs, honey, put that back on you’ll catch cold or bobbio will get whiplash…whichever comes first.
I can take my shirt off, too. Well, maybe not. It’s chilly.
Just got back from grocery shopping. Aerin is screaming and climbing on me. Now she’s started cleaning me. Stupid beast, I have to put the groceries away.
I couldn’t find lard. Why didn’t they have it? I need it for my tortilla experiments tomorrow.
Didn’t go to Costco, so I got out with less than $100. I got a nice non-stick grill pan with a gift card. I’m going to do grilled veggie and chicken sammichs for dinner. With hummus I made a couple days ago. Yum.
My dog used to eat the Tootsie Rolls in the cat box, too. Eewwww.
The boxes are in a little bump-out corner in the basement, so we set up some old chairs in front of the bump-out, so she can’t get back there, but the cats can.
At first we just placed the chairs there, but she pushed them aside to get to the ‘treats’. Now, we’ve bungee-corded them together so she can’t move them.
Dogs are gross.
Whooo! Take it off! Yeah baby!
…
:: remembers that rigs is old enough to be his mother ::
:eek: Put it back on! Put it back on!
Hey, I just changed my shirt and no one cared.
Even the dog left the room.
Hmmph.
You sayin’ that 43 can’t be sexy, boy? I’m here to tell ya that I was sexy before you were even thought of, and will remain so loooong after you need continous infusions of Viagra to even have a sexy twinge.
Double hmmph.
Can I whine for a moment? Well, I will any way. I am on this other bb (nothing to do with SDMB) and can I tell you? It’s an intellectual black hole. There, I feel better.
Mirrors are heavy! and I’m sure you could never look like Tammy Faye (please? I am getting blechy-urggies here thinking abour ole Mascara Maven).
Biblio --I wouldn’t not have been fazed by your shirtlessness. Dog most likely thought you would make him take off his coat…
We’re not entirely certain what the cause is. I thought she was snarfing down dog food, but I’ve been taking that up as soon as Bernie eats, so it’s not that. FCD thinks she’s just overeating, which is a possibility. I’m testing that theory by giving her less kibble. Or she may just be doing it to piss me off… She’s a cat - what ya gonna do??
Oh - and there’s a chance I may be coming to Orlando after all next weekend… just sayin’…
Dinner was excellent. I am full. I did grilled zuchinni and red peppers, smeared hummus on a pita, put warmed up chicken breast pieces (that were marinated in yogurt and garlic before cooking) on top, and chowed down. Now I’m eyeing the bottle of wine that Driving Husband left here a couple months ago. That would top the evening off nicely.
Man I have been out of work for a week with flu & strep throat &earache I come back and last weeks MMP went to a crazy nuts number of pages and this one is storming ahead as well!
I am off to Denver for a stoopid training class in whihc I will have no internet connection so have a fun week everyone!
ems
Not even in the hotel?
(duh! I dont’ have a laptop either)
Have a nice trip-glad you’re feeling better.
I do a lot of them teleconference thingies where I put my phone on mute and have the speakerphone on. That way I can do stuff on my puter, go to the bathroom, nap, tell everybody how stoopid I think they are and all that there. It’s fun! Course sometimes I’m the one yackin’ away on the teleconference, so I know they do it to me, so I don’t feel so bad. What’s even more fun is web-based teleconferences. I have a window open to look at the conference stuff and a window open playing Free Cell or Spider Solataire. I can entertain myself real good when I need to.
Works for me…
The last time I asked this, the silence was deafening. Any MMPers live in or near Motown?
I’m headed to Ann Arbor for a [del]boondoggle[/del] week of training on Monday the 20th, and it’d be cool to add to my collection of Dopers I’ve met.
Just asking now, because in another day or two, I’ll post the same question as it’s own thread, and I want my fellow MMPers to have a head start…
depending on the hotel, they may have an “office” with a public computer - ask at the desk when you check in
Lemon cranberry muffins in the oven. Time to mull some wine and kick back until Mr. Lissar gets home.
Glad you’re feeling better, ems.
