Not much to befriend at the moment, and I’ll be taking my own sweet time putting stuff up…
Whew. Just for the record, it takes way more than 2 hours to make a pedestal cover. And occasionally more than 2 hands. We took it in its almost-finished state to the marina to do a fit check and make a few decisions. So all that remains are 2 long seams, a little top-stitching, and the hem. The hardest part, now that the arc of the wheel cover is done, has to be rasslin’ all that fabric. It’s stiff and some pieces are 59" long before being attached to other pieces. My poor little Viking is doing its best, but this is really a job for a commercial machine with a deeper neck.
**FCD **is crashed - he’s been fighting a nasty headache all day. SIL just left for work. In my car. He borrowed it last night with a promise that he’d fill the tank. He’s going to fill it now. I also had to ping on him about the windshield. His Tom-Tom left a big smear right in the middle under the mirror. The boy needs to buy his own car!
And I need a day of rest. Maybe I can get some nice sleep in the stoopit meeting tomorrow… 
I sent you a friend request. I had to stop and think for a moment when I got Rosie’s suggestion on Facebook. I was thinking, “Hmmmm, N.C., N.C, who do I know that lives there and is male? Ah-ha! Now, I remember!”. Then I sent the request.
God, this pain has me all out of it. I can’t think straight to save my life.
Wow, once again FCM, just reading about your productivity wears me out.
I’m in love. TVMan and I are here cow country PA and there’s a super sexy wingback chair that I’m plotting to take back home with me. 
(See my facebook uploads for a picture)
Hi all!
Ouch, Taters! I hope you feel better soon.
VBob, great stories as usual.
FCM, you wear me out, too!
Yay for the new wheels, Swampy!
Groceries are planned, bought and put away. I bought a watermelon and cut it all up. I asked a neighbor if he wanted half but they already have some. It’s too much!
The groomer just called and Ernie is ready - Mr Rebo is out and about (getting my car washed - so yay!) so he is on his way to pick him up. He looked like a mop this morning! 
Dinner will be Chicken Marsala, storebought fresh tortellini and Alfredo sauce. That stuff is teh yum! Oh, and because we simply must have something green (it’s the way I was raised ;)) steamed broccoli.
Vroooom!
Closing out a (counts…) 16+ hour day at work and with family function.
About to catch 3 hours or so of sleep before catching a cab to the airport.
See y’all next day, next MMP, next country…
Whoa! Since when did gt take up plantin’ stuff? Just knock me over with a feather! 
Howdy y’all! We had a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig lunch at friends’ house this afternoon. BBQ andall the trimmin’s with homemade peach cobbler and 'niller ice cream. YUM! I was so stuffded, I took a two and a half hour nap when I got back to da cave.
So, no productivity for me today! YAY!
So, did you take the new truck out for an inaugral spin, Swampy? Having a new vehicles means ROAD TRIP time!
Hungry…
I went down to the local farmer’s market stand thingy to get some veggies. Does that count?
The pedestal cover is in place - it looks pretty good, so yay! I’ve got a hunk of teriyaki pork loin in the rotisserie and two big salads in the on-deck circle. We’re having a late dinner, which makes me wonder if I’ll be able to fall asleep when I want to. Oh well, such is life.
It’s cooling down tonight, so I turned off the air and opened the house. Yay for saving energy!!
I guess it’s too much to hope for a snow day tomorrow, huh? I really *really **really ***don’t want to go to this stoopit meeting…
Umm… you could suddenly get a case of unidentified gastro-intestinal distress! They won’t want to hear the details, trust me…
Duuuuuude! No, a ROAD TRIP! Load her up with fun toys and head off for a couple day adventure!
I’m kidding of course. It seems that whenever we got a new rig, we were on the road, driving just to drive. Nothing beats the feel and smell of a new car when you’re driving it. It just feels so “tight” and responsive!
I need to pick my son up from work soon. My day has been totally non-productive.
Well, ok, I’ll write you an excuse. Just print it out and present it on Tuesday.
Dear MOOOOOOM’s Boss,
Please excuse MOOOOOOM for not being at work on Monday. She was already to go and everything when suddenly, really, just out of nowhere, a hoarde of rabid snapping turtles descended upon her lawn. She had to call animal control and then right after anmal control got rid of all the rabid snapping turtles, she tried to leave to go to work again but all her doors got stuck and she couldn’t get out of the house.
kthanksbye,
swampbear
That ought to do it!
Ooh! Good note, Swampy. I’m sure that’ll do the trick. Who needs snow days when Swampy can write our missed work excuses?
By the way, y’all feel free to use it anytime. I suggest you copy and paste it to a word document or wp program of choice to make it easier to access should you ever need it.
No need to thank me for that brilliant idea. I live to help.
I’m in the mountains! I am now officially a fag hag. Petercat is having a Mexican standoff with Durwoodcat and Naracat. BobbyeFroggye doesn’t care because she’s back in her cage.
swampy, I’m just speechless at your, um, brilliance. Yeah, that’s it. Speechless.
Supper was good. I’ve got my clothes for tomorrow staged. I’ve got lunch money. Oh rats - I need to purge my purse of crap, just in case they do bag checks. ugh.
Is it Firday yet?? <sigh>
Anybody else wonderin’ just what MOOOOOOM might have in her purse she does not want anybody to find?
If her purse is anything like mine, she’s got about 20 bucks in change floating around in there, plus numerous receipts hurriedly stuffed in there so she could move out of the line faster, maybe a couple of gum wrappers because she didn’t want to litter, a mint tin with ONE mint in it, a pen, maybe two, because she thought she didn’t have one in there, a checkbook, her wallet (also overflowing with receipts) and bits of flotsam. Maybe the stubs from bills because she paid them on her to or from work, or from work. Empty envelopes from said bills, jetsam.
No? It’s just me.
:o
Seriously, I clean my purse when I go on trips, have jury duty, or have to fly on planes. Otherwise, I seem to haul a crapload of stuff around.
