Did he get caught doing drugs like Toronto’s mayor?  
“Toronto: Our hockey team sucks, and our mayor smokes crack.”

Busy, but good day at work.

Ladies, no hair cutting without a note from me!

Happy Birthday, **Looette**!

Well at least all of us Mumpers have something, I have a craptastic Hip Hop show for the next six hours. I absolutely deplore the “N” word and, in the five minutes since we fired up, I have heard ten or more times already.

Le sigh

I have a Gordie. Not sure if that warrants envy or pity.

Well, at least our former corrupt mayors, though they didn’t do drugs, had the good sense to resign.

The new mayor is on Twitter. He uses a lot of smiley faces in his tweets. I kinda like that.

**swampbear** , built in bookcases in an old house make up for a lot, I love cool old houses. Now, what does he read?

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 32 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 65 for the day. I have no idea what the official low for the night was but there’s a pretty hard freeze out, the first of the year.

OYKW is in the shower. Soon as he’s out, Ima go purtify and we’re gonna go grab a bizkit together. Well, one for each of us cause neither one of us is willin’ to share one bizkit. 😃 **DeathMistress** he actually does not read a whole lot except for irk related stuff. I’ll admit his house is kinda cool but I wouldn’t want to live there full-time. I think eventually we’ll both end up here at da cave. We shall see.

OK, that’s all I got. Need more caffiene and in just a few purtification for irk must commence. Le sigh.

Happy Thursday Y’all!

I’m up! I’m freezing!

We’re off on a field trip to the JVS today to learn about possible career classes for my students. We also get to stop and have lunch at a local fast food place. This gives the kids a chance to practice social skills as well as money skills. Should be fun!

I am at irk, today has become quite irksome. I have a very large and important document that needs some work on it, plenty of formatting and stuff like that so I am trying to get on with it but it’s a complete mess. I am currently taking a break on here and dreaming of the day I can get my hands round the throat of the utter c\*ckwomble who wrote this document in the first place.

Happy Thorsday!

It’s a FF 27 degrees outside with a projected high of 54.  
I had to put socks on last night and I hate sleeping in socks. I have to go out today but I’ll wait until the temp rises a bit.  
54 is cool, 27 is insane.

So nothing in the agenda for today except buy some food and irk.

I’ve successfully managed not to it all off for about the last ten years. But last night, I said goodbye to the majority of my hair. And I _LOVE_ it. It doesn’t look the same this morning because there’s some kind of special air in the salon blow dryers that makes sure no results can ever be duplicated at home, but I still love it.

And I even remembered to adjust my shampoo consumption this morning. Usually after a haircut I’m left standing in the shower with far too much shampoo in my hand. 🙂

Does you gots a cat?

Thanks for the Bday wishes, all. She had herself a nice one with the big party w/ friends set for Friday so they can scream and text late w/o worring about skool the next day.

FCM, thankfully she’s not asking for my car but a Chevy pickup instead. Way to go, B! And you know, I think Dolores has a pic or two from that night. Might have to hit her up for a copy.

Miserable meece!

Let’s see who gets that reference.

Had an odd dream last night. My rugrat came for a visit, and did the drive in 6 hours, legally. The IRL time from FDiL’s front door on Indy’s far east side to mine is very close to 12 hours on the nose, FWIW. The bad part of the dream was it ended just as he was going to tell me how to do it myself…
