Yay for vacation **JimmyCrest**! Back from an early dindin at Sonny’s. No OYKW overnight tonight. Matter of fact we et and went our separate ways. He’s got paperirk to deal with this evenin’ poor thing. Plus he looked really, really tahrd. Said today just whooped his butt. Hope he goes to bed early. Tomorrow is Firday and I shall actually go into the orifice. I need to do some stuff in the files so it’s all for the best, le sigh. **MOOOOOOM** the only “to go” I took from Sonny’s is a full tummy. 😃 OYKW had babyback ribs and I had smoked brisket. We shared, cause that’s what we do. ---

Sketties were yum, but the sauce was thinner than usual. Still, we’re fed and the dishwasher is washing the dishes. We’ll get to have Sonny’s around Christmas when we go visit the inlaws - I guess that makes the trip more tolerable, but I still hate all those hours on I-95. ---

I got something special in the mail from Amazon today! I may photograph it and show the photos later. Someone on the Dope once saw one in a video, and asked what it was. 🙂 ---

You blow into the tube thingy while pressing down the keys, and music is supposed to come out. 🙂 It’s like a harmonica but with a piano keyboard. Now, I need to think of some songs to play on it. ---

Back from the stitchin’ meetup at the Greek Coffee Place. It was fun. I got a little bit done on my fairy cross-stitch. Now I’m starving because I chose to forgo getting a cookie. Boil faster, water! I want sketties! Mooom, have you seen the [30-Second Bunny version of The Big Chill](http://www.angryalien.com/0905/bigchillbuns.asp)? ---

So, today has been surprising. Had to drop off nephew in Indianapolis after buses left without him at his old school near Cincinnati. Am now about an hour from home, so I’ve been on the road for about 6 hours. So fun. Will post more when I get home. Hugs all. GT ---

> [@Tupug\_Anachi](#): > > **boofae** , what exactly is a c\*\*kwomble? I need a definition so I may use this word profusely for the next decade or so. 🙂 It’s interchangeable with the term “twunt”, I find it applies nicely to any situation where there’s someone involved who really should have been removed from the gene pool very early on. I have used it variously for idiot drivers doing stupid things, the person who wrote the document I’ve spent so much time fiddling with, and currently it applies to the students who aren’t doing the simple things they’ve been asked to do and are making my life difficult. It is a word that is used when I am one step away from sending in the pointy stick-wielding Sri Lankan ninja spiders. ---
