And a very good morning and happy Friday to you, **Dreamer**. Are you always that chipper in the mornings? EW! You’d hate being in my house. It’s like footage from the dawn of the dead. Zombies everywhere. There’s not a single morning person in my little family. But for some reason, I’m really very upbeat this morning. Strange.

Today’s oddly exuberant mood brought to you by 3 hours of sleep (I dropped off around 3ish, after packing), 2 espressos and a white chocolate mocha. mmmmmm…mocha…  
So much for hitting the card room tonight. They’d eat me alive.

I’m more of a night person, but am pretty happy once I get fully awake in the mornings. I’ve been up since just before 6 this morning. So I’d been up 2 1/2 hrs when I posted that. 😉

Currently I’m looking forward to nap time this afternoon.

I suppose it would be wrong to drug the little bast…darlings, huh? Just asking.

Actually, the reason I came back was to let everyone in on a **PHENOMENAL** bargain I ran across on Amazon. They’re selling [Calphalon’s 3 Quart Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Saute Pans](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000AKUAC/qid=1068223155/br=1-1/ref=br_lf_k_1//103-1523843-9037422?v=glance&s=kitchen&n=573812) for only $27.99!!! If you’re in the market for one (or more! Think Christmas.) this is the bargain of the year. List price is $132. Hell, even if you _weren’t_ in the market for one, you should grab one, at this price.

Well I just got up a half an hour ago but I was also up at 11:00pm, 3:00pm, and 6:00am. So around 8:00 hubby took the girl and let me sleep.

Everyone should have such a wonderful hubby. He even made coffee!

Oh and I was telling hubby about Iva… how we sucked in another lurker… now he’s muttering ‘sucking lurkers’ in a beavis voice…

Another typical morning in casa tanookie!

**Dave** , darlin’, you got WAY too much time on your hands. And, I’m thinking you need to get out of the house. Soon.

[QUOTE]

You’re right. Everyone should. Where can I find me one a them?

I am in just too good of a mood today. I’m not going to analyze it; it may go away. It may have something to do with the fact that, given my impending trip, I am flat out refusing to do anything more than I absolutely have to today. I’m just gonna sit here and futz around with you guys.

Well if they figure out how to clone in such a way that you get the whole package and not just a look a like and in such a way that you don’t have to wait for them to grow up… I’ll be selling them on Ebay from my mansion someplace that doesn’t snow.

Never analize a good mood 🙂 Just go with it!

Ouch, Ouch, ouch… My head was bitten off and I had to sew it back on, and the only thread I had was navy blue (it matches my uniform)… Actually now that I think of it having my whole head inside Maureen’s mouth was kinda fun 😉

Since yer a bargain Hunter, Check out _Tuesday Morning_ stores! They do ‘close-outs’ of amazing, interesting and weird stuff [Linkity link link…](http://www.TuesdayMorning.Com)  
The web site is pretty uninformative, but you can check to see if there is a store near you.  
I’ve gotten AMAZING prices on Calphalon in their stores …  
that is also where I got my 100% Egyptian Cotton **598 thread count** sheets for about $200. they do a “retail price” thing on the price sticker … ‘cordin’ to them, I’m sleepin’ on _Thousand Dollar_ sheets! Man do I feel luxurious!!! … Ladies, wanna come find out what _Thousand dollar_ sheets feel like? … or 300 thread count 100% cotton sheets for about the same price as the 250 thread-count cotton-poly “what’s her name” sheets at Target.  
And a whole buncha other, as they say in Hawaii, “All Kine Stuffs.”

Yup. Exciting stuff, Hold 'Em is, especially at the pro level. But, down at, say, the 4/8 level, which is where I’m, there’s no finesse and everyone calls everything, and it’s all luck, and and and…k. Never mind. Let’s just say I like Omaha better. And, if you saw the people at Bay 101, you would understand that “eaten alive in a good way” is probably NOT going to happen. Not without a whole lot of …well, no, not even WITH a whole lot of alcohol and psychotropic drugs. Not even in the parking lot where it’s dark.

Anyway. What are _you_ up to tonight, **Wyatt**? Wanna be my designated getaway driver?

Thanks all for trying to demystify math for me. Eventually a very simple explanation worked for me, and I get it. It was an astoundingly difficult thing for me to comprehend tho. The simplest number manipulation taxes my brain like nothing else.

Mmmm… Yay for naps.

I have a confession to make. I tried reading **SGZ** ’s math explaination but in my head it sounded like Charlie Brown’s teacher talking… so I skipped it. _teehee_ It’s ok, I can live happily w/o understanding the math trick. 😉
