Howdy and happy Friday all

I just got home from a meeting about a gig that lasted longer than the gig will, the Children of Abraham can talk I tell you.

I think Mr. Pink and his “real” bacon are making dinner this evening

**Drea** get thee to Maine, it is the only State in the lower 48 I have not been to, therefore you must go and take lots of pics. Logical that is.

We’ve got friends in the Lewiston area, and the Bangor area. We think Augusta is nicely situated in between, and would offer a fair amount of culture, variety, and job opportunities.

Supper was good. I’m almost done with my shawl, after which I think I’ll go to bed early. I’s tahred. It’s been a long week.

Rosie, do not read.

Ham, baked sweet potatoes, asparagus with Hollandaise sauce for dinner.  
Mrs. Plant v.(3.0) declared that Hollandaise is better than Hershey’s syrup.

Its hard to get blood out of me so I get stabbed a lot. One nurse decided to take it out of my finger right by the knuckle. I swear the needle scraped the bone and it still hurts and is still bruised.

**Sahirrnee** , tell them to poke your arm, not your fingers. If they have a issue with that, tell them you would love to discuss it with their supervisor/replacement.

Also, drink a bottle of water before the vampires show–more volume, better gushing.

Cool!  
I’ve always had gentle cute little Black girls do it, but the last cute little Black girl made me hurt like hell.  
I mentioned it, and she was quite defensive. Once she gets the needle out of my vein, I’ll ask to discuss it with her Supervisor or replacement. 🙂

Home at last, about time I guess.  
We had lunch and then some dessert later in the evening. My friends neighbor came over and we always find lots to laugh about.

I will remember that **Vorlon** , because it really hurt.

Home, and off all weekend. Between 2 hockey games, and all the Doctor Who stuff on BBCA, I am in Nerdvana.😃

Good luck, **Drae**! I have hockey Peeps somewhere in Maine. And remember to avoid sewer clowns.:eek:[sup]10[/sup]

**Flytrap** , a Hallohanahchristkwanzaaving Day Ham?:dubious:

I’ve never had a parsnip, I assumed they were made up to scare British Chlidren during the Great War: “Peter, eat your parsnips, or The Beastly Hun[sup]TM[/sup] will invade your bedroom!”

Good luck, **Nut**!

Blurf! Caturday! Got to go and do the ironing in a minute, when I can muster some enthusiasm.

**Drae** , I’ve been to Maine. It was very pretty, I’d go back again…isn’t that enough of a recommendation for you?

Today there will be errands in town and Workout 28 of the 30-day plan. I think it is also taco night tonight, and it’s definitely cocktails night. That probably means tomorrow will be spent recovering!

Higgs stayed quiet till \*almost \*6 - I guess that’s something. She’s been fed, but I still need to clean the cat box. Today’s supposed to be sunny and chilly, then the mega-cold front comes thru and it’ll get cold for the next week at least. I’m thinking I’ll have some studio time today.

Meanwhile, I may crawl back under the covers in a little bit, because I can. Lazy day ahead, methinks. 😃

Happy Saturday!

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. ‘Tis a dreary, gloomy 63 Amurrkin out. We’ve had a few rain showers off and on overnight and even now every few minutes a little bit of rain. Today’s predicted high is 74 with the rain goin’ away within a couple of hours. Should be a nice day.

We are goin’ shoppin’ for Christmas presents for the two boys ages two and six we chose from a list at OYKW’s irk. The six year old wants a basketball and the two year old wants a big push around truck. Also we have clothin’ sizes. So we shall get the basketball and truck (I’m thinkin’ firetruck, cause, hey, firetruck!) as well as a couple pairs of pants and a couple shirts for each. In a couple weeks the givin’ tree will be up at the church house and we’ll choose another couple of kiddies to get stuff for. This is the Christmasy/Holiday type stuff we like to do. We do this rather than buy stuff for each other. Plus it’s fun to shop for stuff like this.

I should do some ironin’ today. We shall see.

Now I need more caffiene and should consider feedin’ rumbly tummy. I think maybe I can hold out on that for a little while and we could just go out for brekkies before we go shoppin’. Sounds like a plan to me!

Happy Sattidy Y’all!

I’m up and caffeinated, Gordie is snoring in his goal. I’m off to do laundry.

Ooops, I read it. Hey, I eat baconcheeseburgers, so who am I to judge. And yes, well made Hollandaise is better than many things

Happy Saturday!

it’s a partly cloudy breezy 44 degrees with a projected high of 50.

Nothing on the agenda today except for irk.

Good luck **Drae** Change is scary but good.

I should start Christmas shopping today as well. Actually I already started, I have a bunch of stuff sitting in my account at Amazon. I like to get everything done before Thanksgiving so I am free to do other things during the holidays but I’m really not in the mood to shop. I have no idea what to get Sah-son because he never wants anything.
