I INSIST that there be pictures posted of Swampfest! I really mean it! Don’t make me get mad and give swampy, bumba, and taters the hairy eyeball! Trust me! You wouldn’t like it. :dubious:
A week off of my treadmill is making me feel all flabby-like. I don’t like it at all! I don’t care how much my hip hurts, it’s back to walkin’ come Monday.
Alright, you slackers! You know who you are. You’re the ones who normally post here in the MMP and not a word! And it’s Thursday already! Get to work and post something!
Adds camera and fresh batteries to list of stuff to pack. Course that means I have to load the software for my cam onto my new puter which I ain’t done yet. So much to do!
I hope you all have a good time! I’m looking forward to pictures, too!
Thanks for all the compliments on my little cutester! I have many thousand more, should the need for more cuteness arise. Like now That one’s a couple months old.
Remember that week from HELL I had a couple weeks ago, culminating in a car accident? I’m having another one. A week from HELL, that is, not a car accident.
Next week will be better. Next week will be better. Next week will be better.
Ya know, I like the kid puppet concept. I love other people’s kids, but none in the near future for me, so if I had a kid puppet I could have cuteness whenever I wanted! But then knowing me, I would buy tons of accessories for the kid puppet and play with it for several months, and then leave it to rot in my den a few months later. Probably not a good idea.
I’m traveling too! I’d love for it to be to swampfest, but it’s Boston instead. I get to have a girls’ night! Me, my sister, & our cousins - Thai food, ice cream, & I’m making brownies tonight! Then, on Sunday, I walk a 5K. All good stuff!
Swampy, don’t forget to pick up your dry cleaning! There, I reminded you, so you better not forget!
I can hardly believe that Swampfest is drawing nigh. I can hardly wait! This is going to be a lot of fun. I have to remember to bring my camera. I was hoping the weather would be more cooperative, but it appears we have rain on the agenda for the weekend. Of course it’s going to rain! It’s gonna be the weekend. However, it won’t be that bad. Just typical little showers, not pouring rain.
Darn it Lissla, I don’t like vacuuming either, that’s why I was luring you over here. Co-inky-dinky-ly my vacuum cleaner is broken and I only have the canister vac, but un-like you, no way am I vacuuming this place three inches at a time. Consumer Reports and epinions say the Eureka Boss Smart Vac Ultra 4870 is super spiffy and only about 140 bucks, which is why I bought one and am waiting by the front door for the delivery guy.
I had the beef with vegetables combo for lunch. And this:
You are never bitter,
deceptive or petty.
Lucky numbers 3, 12, 23, 28, 34, 37
I think I had this one before.
Thanks for the belated birthday wish. I’ve never made a big deal about any of them since I turned twenty-one or so. But the garden gnome is pretty cool. Rue should be jealous of me. Or it. Jealous of something, at least.
Don’t forget to pack, swampy. I hear they don’t let Sutherners buy clothes up there.
I think I live in PoisonLand! I was looking in a few other areas around my yard and spotted a metric buttload of poison ivy. There’s none way in the back part of the yard that we intend to ignore, but there’s tons among the day lilies and along the fence where I wanted a real garden. The weather is supposed to be nice and cool tomorrow, so I can bundle up in long sleeves and long pants and pull the evil growth up by its evil roots.
Stoopit poison.
In happier news, my clearance has come thru. I won’t get the green badge for a few more weeks at least, however. I need some special access clearance or somesuch before they can let me roam freely. But at least I now know it won’t be 2 or more years to get the clearance done. Our admiral kicked some butt - apparently, he kicked the right butts. So I’m happy. Yay! With a little luck, by this time next month, I’ll be able to enter the final phase of training, then become a fully contributing member of the command, and all you patriotic American taxpayers will start to get your money’s worth.
So, FCM’s gonna be in charge of our nation’s defense? She’ll achieve world peace. All she has to do is threaten anybody who acts up with The Chandelier From Hell[sup]TM[/sup] and everything will be jake! I can hear her now: “Don’t make me ship you this chandelier!”
And now a word of advice for our future military commander:
Lay in a supply of calamine lotion before you get to poison ivy pulling.
Speaking of calamine lotion, once, in this other place I worked, they had all the offices repainted. A shade of beige was chosen. Except it turned out kinda beigey/pinky. It looked like the painters had slapped up calamine lotion all over the place. The walls were then repainted a lovely shade of light gray that looked like just light gray. Light gray is a better color than calamine lotion.
Calamine lotion is, however, better than light gray paint, for poison ivy.
Yay FCM! However, I’m sure we are getting our taxpayer’s worth of money from you now! Good luck with the metric buttload of Poison Weeds. I have some serious weeding to do in my backyard myself. I don’t think I’ve got poisonous weeds; however, I do have a bunch of suckers coming up on my side of the fence from the property next door. So, I’ll be snipping and then painting the snipped ends with brush killer. Funsies!
Swampy, you expect me to remind you to pick up your dry cleaning tomorrow? Hell, I be doing well to remember to come to work tomorrow. All day long I’ve been thinking it’s Friday! I’m wishing the week away.
Taters you got suckers growing in your yard? What flavor? Remember tomorrow is Friday. Don’t show up at Pioneer Square tomorrow. You’ll be all alone. Well, probably not all alone cause there’d be other people there, just not the ones you want to see.
I need somebody to volunteer to remember to remind me tomorrow to remember to pick up my dry cleaning. It’s very important so it is a high priority task.
Um, no, Rummy’s got that job all sewed up. And, truth be told, it’s just a tad beyond my modest aspirations. I just want to be a good little engineer, answering the taskings that come my way, on my way to retirement in 2010, or soon thereafter. Although your chandelier suggestion has some merit. Think it’s powerful enough to get North Korea in line?? Or will it have Osama cowering in the dust? Will all the insurgents and suicide bombers amend their evil ways and work for the advancement of goodness and niceness? Certainly no other chandelier in the world can compare…
And you’ve got a good point about the calamine. Having it will be insurance. Not having it would assure that I’d have eruptions on every square inch of skin. So I shall be prepared.
Okay, first if all, my last post should have read…I **will ** be doing well to remember to come to work tomorrow…not, “I be doing well…” :smack:
Yes Swampy , I do have suckers coming up in my garden. However, they are not good flavored ones. Just wandering roots and sprouts from the trees and bushes behind my fence. They are a pain in the patootie!
You could remind yourself to pick up your drying cleaning by sticking a sticky note to your desk, dashboard, steering wheel and forehead. You won’t forget that way, for sure! I would remind you myself, but I have so many other “high” priority taskers. Every one 'em is supposed to be my number one priority. :rolleyes:
She’ll achieve world peace. All she has to do is threaten anybody who acts up with The Chandelier From Hell[sup]TM[/sup] and everything will be jake! I can hear her now: “Don’t make me ship you this chandelier!”
