Yay!
And I’m sure SO appreciates the anti-hugs.
I hate Papa Tigs too.
I was sleepy. Now I’m not. Think I’ll read for a while.
Hugs.

unless you and PapaT want to be on my list - you’ll score me a ticket or two as well. 
(afterall - I’m only a commuter train ride away)
you know I’m kidding, right? Unless you have no problem including me, then I’m not 
Hey! maybe he could do a whole show on the Dope and we’ll all go?!?!
Ok, so every day I listen to my messages and there never are any (really), so today I didn’t bother and then The Husband came home and said my boss had called so I listened to the message and found out (after my bath and jammies) that I don’t have to go at 0530, but can go in at 0900. I would have gone for a walk, if I had known, but am now in jammies etc. Poo.
And there are 3 cardiac caths (show me the money, honey!) AND annoying ethnic coworker won’t be there AND a coworker I really like will!
A banner work day for Rigs! tra la.
Works for me, Rosie!
Count me in for the Stewart taping! Party at Rosie’s house afterwards. 
:eek: I’d better start cleaning!
:eek: is Smokey that messy that you need to start cleaning before we even have tickets?? Better teach that cat how to pick up after itself.
15 minutes left of work. Yay!
yes. Poo.
I am going to sleep. More or less.
Wait–what is happening with you? Are you ok?
Everything ok MBG? {{{{MBG}}}}
I’m off to bed. Night all.
I’m home.
The King and I was EXCELLENT. The guy who played the king only found out this afternoon that he’d be playing the role tonight. Yikes!
I should be working now, but I think I’ll be lazy and go to bed instead and finish up my work in the morning.
I suspect there will be poo for me before the year is out. (I know, I know, groan!)
We went to Amish Acres in Nappanee for the middle child’s field trip today. And seriously, it wasn’t until halfway through I realized something. Something I’ve always known about the Amish. They why are they the way they are? Now, don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t offended in the least. The kids go to church, and I understand the wanting to understand a different culture of people, but it did get a bit preachy at times. So I managed to piss off the teacher with my quip about the separation of church and state. And then there was the snickering about puppy mills. And then there was not enough seating at lunch, and me being in my first trimester, and my sister being in her third. (Yes, I’m going to be an aunt some time along June, it’s going to be a baby kind of year for my family.) We had us and our group of kids who needed to use the facilities. There wasn’t enough seating.
And they were bringing out the food.
I marched up to the front desk and told them we had paid six bucks for each kids meal, and eight for adults, and while there were some late additions, I wanted FOOD!
Aww, come on. Don’t look at me that way!
I hadn’t eaten in over four hours, and neither had the kids.
So my sister and I had our own table with our kids.
Fuck the teacher if she didn’t like it. Jim didn’t realize I wanted to go and didn’t pay, I called yesterday, and she was all tough shit on me, until I called the office, they had me call Amish Acres and see if it was cool for me to get in late. They had no problem with it, and I was driving myself. Sigh
But overall it was a good day.
I bought a jar of the best apple butter I’ve ever had.
There is a lot of trouble brewing with the oldest daughter though. I don’t know how I’m going to deal with it.
{{{MGB?}}}
Yesterday and today were so nice out. I just checked the forecast: crumminess ahead at least through Sunday.
I found out I’m traveling for work!! Flint, Michigan, Here I Come! Proficiency testing rocks! Looks like it’ll be the middle of next week, one night max.
I still haven’t got the haircut I so badly require. I need someone to pimp my head.
After taking in all the natural beauty while on vacation last week, I think I need to clear my head in a crowded, deafening, overpriced nightclub. Maybe I’ll try to gather up some revelers and try to make this weekend wild.
Listening to: drum&bass “Bring fi d’hacksaw”
Dinner: Rotini with very good pesto from Tenuta’s Deli in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Home.

beebs, I need to get a couple of mine done. I am immune to local anesthetics, so I’ve put off the fixing since the teeth don’t hurt.

Oy, yawn… Too busy today, did too much stuff and my hands hurt. Did you know that custom laser cut stainless steel plates have a yucky adhesive coating on them? I know that now because I peeled that effing coating off of 350 plates today. I also put together a bunch of generator insides and helped with some arc welding. I have to do some tapping tomorrow and it’s gonna make my hands hurt some more. It’s kinda cool, though, I’m so used to doing office work that it feels good to be working with tools and putting stuff together.
I managed to keep enough energy together to assemble a kickass batch of turkey hash for my dinner and now I’m so sleepy I’m typoing like a mofo. I’m babysitting my daughter’s dog for a few days since they’re taking the week off and painting the inside of the house–poor Callie was getting miffed at being exiled outside so it makes more sense for her to stay with us and play with Widget.
And my laptop LCD is getting scheisty, I’m bummed out. I can’t really afford a new laptop, grump…
As I said, yawn…
nah - I’m the messy, or rather cluttered, one. I sometimes think I am part guy*. I don’t clean unless I have to. (but I have someone come in every other week to help me out) I don’t cook if it takes more than 2 steps, or requires actual oven time. And every horizontal, and some vertical, surface in my house has some manner of stuff on it.
*actually, it’s because of the arthritis - standing and bending for more than 10 minutes at a time wears me down and I end up limping to and whimpering in my bed
Quiet in here. I think I’m splitting work early. The sooner I get out of here the sooner I can start popping those oxycontins again.
This may shock some of you kids, due to the content of my posts and my behavior on the board, but I actually have very little experience “experimenting” with substances. So these cute little pills prescribed to me have been a nice little “wheeeeeee” vacation.
Decode the above for a secret message.
This isn’t the secret message, it’s just a spoiler box.
ETA: Hey, where’d you come from?
leg cramp woke me up - but I’m going back to sleep now
