Trash and recycling have been disposed of and I’ve just finished my sammich. I’ve got towels in the dryer and they should be done soon. So I think it’s time for some Netflix-n-knitting! 
This is my first MMP post!
On my way to work I have about 4 different Dunkin Donuts I can stop at if I run out of time to fix breakfast and/or a latte at home before I leave. This morning I stopped at the closest one to my house. I usually get egg and cheese on flatbread, but I noticed they had ham and swiss on flatbread on the menu, so I asked if I could get egg and swiss on flatbread (I’m a vegetarian). They said no, because the ham and swiss ones are premade. What? What’s the point in that? is it so hard to slap ham and swiss onto bread in the store when you’re already building all the other variations there? Bizarre. Disappointing but oh well, I ordered my usual egg and cheese. Then I go to order my latte and they tell me that they’re out of espresso! How can Dunkin Donuts be out of espresso!? They said the manager forgot to order it last week. So I ended up getting a regular coffee with a squirt of gingerbread syrup in it and faking like it was a latte. Alas. I should have gone to one of the other DDs.
FOUR DD along your commute?? :eek: I think we have one in our county. By that, I know we have one, and I think it’s the only one. I’ve never been there, tho. There’s a local grocery chain that makes much better donuts. Dammit, now I want a donut.
Docs this morning for me for a BP check - all is good. A few more lbs off and they will take me off the BP meds. Which is good as mr ems and I want to start trying for babies next year and I can’t take the medicine if I am preggo. Anyhoo they also took some bloods while I was in as I am new patient good job I hadn’t eaten brekkie so they could do the fasting blood sugar check!
Then working then I have a flight to Houston for an early meeting tomorrow then back tomorrow night. Busy week of meetings this week.
I supposed I had better get a bit of work done before lunch.
Forgot to mention 32 degs here with a windchill of 22 degs :eek: This is Oklahoma fercryinoutloud. Way to cold. Brrrrrrrrr
Really? Ever?
I am honored to be your first MMP reply!
Well it’s a 40-50 minute commute. The one I went to is inside a gas station. Then there is a free-standing one, one in a strip mall, and one in a rest stop off the interstate that I take. I have to confess, the one at the gas station and the freestanding one require me to deviate from my actual direct-to-work driving path by a block or two. The other two I drive right by.
Opal I think I see the problem here. I’m wonderin’ if’n the DD inside the gas station is one of those places where they deliver a lot of donuts, sammiches etc from another location. Around here we have Krispy Kreme aka the donut of God and the KK location’s in convenience stores and the like all have donuts delivered from a free standin’ location. Thus, the inability to make a sammich on flatbread.
It’s N.O.L. time! Chikin sallit sammich and N.O.T. sallit. YUM! All homemade by yours truly even.
If you’re talking about the one that sells ‘Colossal Donuts[sup]tm[/sup]’, I’ll second that. VWife is forbidden to bring any of those home, because they have a life expectancy of roughly 5 minutes after they come through the door and I wind up sick for about the next 3 hours.
No, they are a fully functional DD. They make the other sandwiches on the spot (I watch them do it).
'Tis Monday.
'Tis Monday, which means Mr. Chord and I do not see each other again for another five days. (Boo.)
'Tis an alternate Monday, which means we were up in the early wee hours preparing for me to travel over 80 miles via four methods of transportation, public and otherwise, to get to work.
'Tis Monday, so tonight is the weekly round of roach-sweepup, in which I gather up the energy to whisk down the garbage chute all the little crawly critters in the apartment that are no longer crawling due to a multi-pronged attack of poison, baited poison, and genetic poison…just in time for the exterminator to spray another round of poison tomorrow.
Unrelated to today being Monday is my ongoing Battle With A Public Storage Facility over a $7 bogus charge, which they are rapidly winning by the simple expediment of not answering their phone, thus persuading me to consider this whole issue a waste of my time.
'Tis Monday. Work is not slow. I would very much like it to be.
'Tis Monday and I want a vacation.
First MMP posters unite!
Oooh, I foresee a run on squid and goats in the near future. 
Happy Monday y’all!
I have decided that I hate Salvation Army bell ringers.
One showed up at the Public Market Saturday afternoon and rang her bell non-stop for four hours! :eek: I think my ears were bleeding!
The market manager came around and told everybody we were closing 2 hours early. I think it was so that the bell-ringer would go away. :dubious:
My big job for the day is replacing the bulb in the sodium vapor lamp over the driveway. Not that big you say? Well, it involves a ladder, and much cursing, so it’s big enough.
If anybody has been following along, my order from Amazon has made it onto a truck, but it’s still in Indiana. :rolleyes:
Welcome new MMPers! Place your chocolate offerings on the table by the door and line up over here. 
Do you work next to there, I assume? That would be just horrible! (I started a thread about those bell ringers a week or so ago–I don’t know how they do it without going insane!)
Friends of yours, Swampy?
Mid-afternoon blurf. Busy morning. Crisis was averted after a few frantic phone calls. Now proceeding to waste remainder of afternoon.
You know, Opal, it doesn’t take long to slap a ham and swiss together, but it just might take awhile to weigh out the correct amounts of ham and swiss. Just a thought…
All I can say about this day is that it thoroughly sucks. If I could run away and hide somewhere, I would. Apparently, though, I get to be the responsible adult instead.
They could probably weigh it all out beforehand and have them separated between waxed paper or something, though… I dunno, it just doesn’t seem like it’s that much harder than the other stuff they make on-site, so it surprised me. Plus it was a bummer to not have access to the way yummier swiss cheese 
I decided on that hatred long ago. As best I can, I avoid grocery stores infested by bell ringers.
The grocery store by my office closed a few months ago. They were the best place for me to get breakfast muffins and lunch salads.
Very poetical post, free verse and all. I’m impressed!
I just finished knitting one hat, started on another, folded the towels, and watched 3 episodes of The Tudors. If my sweetie feels up to it, I’m taking him out for Chinese tonight. If not, we’ll probably do sketties or something easy.
**BBBobbio **- considering there’s only one local grocery chain in this county, we’re probably on the same page. I’m very familiar with their Leonardtown location.
OK, new Mumpers - you need to know that chocolate love offerings are due to me at your earliest convenience… or inconvenience. Either way, I need chocolate!!!
Still on my psychotic homework binge so just a quick drive by to say two things.
-
self applied acrylic nails - one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Left hand looks ok. Right hand looks…not ok. Neither hand is horrifyingly bad but mayhaps the money would have been better spent at a professional.

TMI holy motherfucking PMS! Not on my pill this month because there was a screwup with the manufacturer and the doctor and they couldn’t fill it until it was too late to start. I forgot how bad the pain and bloating and cravings were. Just ate nearly an entire half gallon of cookies 'n cream ice cream. I’m lactose intolerant. This wont be pretty but at least the chocolate craving is gone. And now I’m FREEZING MY ASS OFF!!!
And on that note - back to my research paper
