Swampy? Will you come to my house and cook and clean? You seem bored and I wouldn’t want to fritter away to nothing now that you’re retired and all.
I am hongry again. Arg!
I will go and trim wisteria and then hie me to the grocery store. The wisteria grows up the brick columns by the front porch. It is blooming and pretty. It is also completely taking over the front porch, which will present difficulties for the nice, burly men unloading our trailers tomorrow. I wants my stuff. So I shall go and trim.
I think suburban Nashville should be swampy’s first stop on the Mumper Cookin’ and Cleanin’ tour.
swampy, your evening snack sounds like you raided my grandparent’s kitchen cart.
I made Spam sushi once for a redneck cocktail party. It wasn’t bad.
The kitchen, laundry room, entry way and bathroom are swept and mopped. Supper is being ingested as I write. Then I get to play in the studio for the first time in six weeks!
No, no, I think Swampy needs to play a small venue closer to home to test his chops before he hits the big stages. I’ll volunteer my place… (I also have beer and cookies! And Nilla wafers and peanut butter!)
Got the little truck out of the shop, and then Tony went and put the family ride in to fix a coolant leak. So The Boy came and took me to the grocery store. 'Twas nice of him. (And I bought him some groceries, so he was happy, and I was happy to play Mama for a few minutes, and buy fruit and vegetables and other nutritional foods.)
Accomplished a little more sorting and cleaning today. Probably need to revive the de-clutter support thread, though. Need motivation.
Got soccer practice in, it was 93F so the kids (and coach) got plenty of water breaks, and I came home to some Mac-n-Cheese which I have just finished consuming. The kids are coming along pretty well, I have no idea how good we will be but I think we’ll be competitive. First game is Saturday, so we’ll see.
And I’ve gone two weeks and haven’t lost a soccer ball yet…
Nope, doctor’s note to not go away next week.
In talking with the team today, it looks like the fall trip to the Dope’s hometown is also ::Poof:: gone.
I also forgot about the long weekend in Feb that went ::Poof:: as we were packing to leave because of being notified of a biiiiigg snowstorm that was fixin’ to put a wallop from Hartford to Bahstan & beyond (& wasn’t in the forecast just two days earlier). That makes six weekends this year that I was plannin’ on going somewhere* that aren’t happening. :mad:
I’m not that rich, half of 'em were free stays, only costing gas, tolls, & some meals. I calculated Cananada last year, it was cheaper to go than stay home since lodging, breakfast & dinner were comped.
Tired from work. The bad news is that HR went through the usual purge of people out of UPT (Unpaid Time Off) and basically fired a lot of folks. The worse news is that our volume picked up by 10-15k a day just as we find ourselves shorthanded. The insult-to-injury news is that the gaylord dumper broke overnight and we had to hand induct EVERYTHING. I am going to take a long shower and then just veg out.
Clean to me means you probably won’t die from some horrible disease while in da cave. Just so y’all know what I mean when I say I cleaned.
ruble your dumper is a Gay Lord? Maybe it’s just in a snit and refused to do anything today. Bring it a mimosa and some aigs benedict tomorrow and it will get all better and do it’s thang again.
MetalMouse yay for no lost soccer balls so far.
I believe I shall retire to the boudoir. I’m feelin’ a little sleepified.
I’m pretty sure I spoke first. 'course I’m a bit farther away. sigh.
We went to visit a favorite BBQ place tonight. We found they’ve moved to a gas station. Really. They’ve taken over an empty gas station. You pull up on one side, give your order, pull over to the other side, and they bring your food out. Unfortunately, we have no furniture until tomorrow, so we’ll have to try them another day.
Hopefully my last day of sleeping on the floor. Huzzah!
**swampy **- we need to talk! Last night, I dreamed my sister Jan and I were your house guests and you were a rather indifferent host. Is that what you call southern hospitality??? Never have I been so insulted!! Then you had the audacity to hug me when you weren’t wearing a shirt! :eek: The very idea!!! :eek:
I stopped at the WaWa for a bagel and soda, and on the way out, I saw a sign on their door informing all and sundry that the WaWa is a WiFi hot spot. Ummmmm, it’s a convenience store. There’s no seating inside or out, unless you’re sitting in your vehicle. So why WiFi?? Weird.
Rain promised later today - probably earlier since I left my car windows open. Other than that, just another day in paradise. Happy Wednesday!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 76 Amurrkin out and sunny with a predicted high of 94 and mostly sunny for the day. I foresee some quality cee-mint pond time later this mornin’ into the afternoon. Dindin will be my famous Eyetalian chikin (in the slow cooker as I post), green beans, scalloped N.O.T., and rolls. Other than that no huge plans for the day. I may make a trip up to the IGA in da Burg in a bit. Or not.
MOOOOOOM all them Pokemon thingies ain’t goin’ to catch themselves so I reckon wifi is needed to grab the critters. Not that I would no bein’ as I have less than zero interest.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, if’n I am indeed goin’ out I should purtify. Such a bother!
Gah. I made a mistake yesterday that was not awesome, compounded by a second mistake that could have canceled the first one out if I hadn’t made it … everything’s fine, but it remains to be seen whether The Boss will think so when he hears about it. I may get in trouble, which is cool, I deserve it. However, The Boss has a tendency to scream at his employees when he’s really upset. He’s never done it to me, but I have made it extremely clear to co-worker that I will not work for someone who thinks it’s okay to scream at me, so today could get interesting if he’s upset over it …
After a week of irk-related stress and misery, I found out that I am not doing as badly as I thought I was, that I am not likely to be fired, and most people are struggling enough that management is going to slow the pace of new cases until we can get caught up and we can go over stuff we don’t really understand how to do.
And now that that decision has been made, the printing system went down so we’re not getting any new cases in today, either. So I’m going to my car in a bit to see if I have any knitting needles. I have a new project I want to start.
Fine, I’m sure The Cute One[sup][sup]TM[/sup][/sup] would appreciate my mad cooking and cleaning skillz.
