Mmm, nachos and a chef salad! Can I come over for dinner, LiLi?
I know I should be working, but my frustration level is reaching an all-time high. Can someone please tell me what the witness is talking about? His English is clearly spoken, just interesting:
I can hear the dirty minds here whirring already. 
Whiirrrr.
I just read three pages of the trainwreck. Holy crap. Wow. What an absolute… goodness, I can’t even think of terms. It’s like evil Flopsy bunnies, “Cheerfully improvident”. If I ever, ever approached that level of self-serving denial, I do hope someone would shoot me. It would better that way. Well, maybe just in the foot, and then leave me to consider my actions.
Yeesh.
LiLi - Mmm, you’re about a can of kidney beans and some cilantro away from a proper nacho platter. Ooh, nachos. I should make nachos tonight. Big plate o’ cheesy beefy chili nachos with enough chili left over to take to work tomorrow.
And hey, the weather’s warming up all of a sudden. Just when LiLi returns.
How convenient.
Mika - Ouch, that stinks. I’ve had that happen to me though. I normally have an excellent sense of balance even on slippery ice, but once in a great while, the ice will betray me and I’ll either land on my butt or my face. I have, however, gotten pretty good at the feline method of immediately getting up, brushing myself off, and continuing on as though this was part of my usual routine.
Thanks, and a Happy Easter to you, as well. Razorette and I returned to church Easter Sunday after a nearly 10-year self-imposed exile while we disbelieved. Couldn’t stay away. We talked for hours last week, decided Easter was a propitious time to renew our acquaintance with the Anglican Communion. I know it means I’ll probably never party with Der Trihs, but I suddenly feel a greater kinship for **Polycarp ** and **Bobotheoptimist ** (for reasons I cannot explain, I have always thought of them as Episcopalian.) We didn’t get plowed, though (or as we say in the Episcopal Church, “ploughed”). It felt a lot like coming home. I even sang all of the hymns, and I didn’t bitch when the Charismatics insisted on hugging everybody during the peace. I think I’ve changed.
Lili - taco salad comes to mind. Mmm.
Sunrazor (I’m not feelin’ real inventive right now or I’d nickname ya) I know that Polycarp is Whiskypalian. So am I. There’s a few more of us around. Seige and Baker come to mind right off the bat. I know there’s a bunch more of us.
I wanna eat! I’m waitin’ on ol’ y’all know who to call and then I’ll make cornbread muffins. I ate some cheese crackers to ward off starvation but I want pot roast!
Ok, so I have a temporary phone fix right now. Seems the trouble is up the road according to phone repairman. They will have it fixed by the end of the week, so I’m told. In the meantime I have a temporary phone line layin’ in my yard. Oh well, at least the landline is workin’ right now. I was gettin’ dangerously close to goin’ all Bobbio on ‘em and demandin’ a pound of AT&T butt.
Hey everbody! Today was my first day back from vacation. We did the Easter packaways. Anybody who complains about the Dope server being slow, should try the Dollar Tree one. :eek:
BooFae, I think yo’re a very worthwhile boozhound. I am glad you didn’t burn anything. I’d hate to think you’d have change your sig line to “Faire Acres: Where everyday is a Mayday!”
Drae, I hope you get the job. If your circle is that hard partying, we’ll just call in the Irish.
**nashiitashii ** you’re Icelandic and live in Florida? That’s a heck of a missed exit.
spats, I’ll take a look(I look good in hats)
StG, good luck with the surgery.
Haze, incoherent ravings? You’re handing him a printout of a MMP?
{{Mika}} <–not too tight of a squeeze
Sop, I’ll celebrate the Feast for you.
I am marinating some chicken(Kroger Chipolte marinade), gonna do Southwestern tonight.
Well, I get to go in and renew my drivers license tomorrow. California requires your physical presence now, after 2 renewals by mail. Oh, well. At least I could make an appointment. I’ll take my knitting, since it could be a short wait or a long one.
Isn’t knitting useful at such times, Jahdra? These days I always have my knitting bag, with an emergency book tucked in it for good measure.
I SHOULD have - it would have made much more sense than the crap I did hand in. :smack:
Ah well. At least it’s in. I’ve been a zombie all day. Some of us are celebrating tonight, but it’s an early bedtime for me.
My mother’s the Icelander, and I’m just a by-product of her habits, culture and personality. 
She met my dad when he was stationed in Iceland during the Vietnam war (he’s from Connecticut). They got married, had a kid, moved back to the US, and ended up in FL because of a great aunt needing a condo sitter. Somehow my mom found lots and lots of Icelanders down here to befriend. (It’s like a bizarro colony spread out over three counties.) Stranger things have happened.
I just scared the admin at the Hurricanes board because I know about the SUPER SECRET MOD FORUMS cue thunder
LiLi - I shall echo the “one helluva tasty salad” voices. Use the corn chips like croutons!
At 4pm today I realized I hadn’t had any lunch! Being super busy and stressed sures hunger.
Approriate noises all around - I’m off to accumulate tax papers.
LiLi, I apologize about the TMI-ness thing - it was actually the reaction of my daughter on hearing about Mr. Lissar vomiting (although to be honest, even the thought of it starts me to gaggin’ sorry about that!).
Bobbio, that is one cute Freya puppy!! I do sincerely hope that you get the potty-training thing cleared up, though.
Swampus, your pot roast sounds good and I hope that it tasted good too. Cornbread is just the thing to soak up the juices with too. YUM!
Still way too chilly for April, at least to my liking, in the DC area. The tulips remained mostly closed up today and the daffodils looked a bit worse for the wear from the freezing temps the past few nights. I only hope that the peach and apple crops won’t be hurt!!
Temps are supposed to rise some the remainder of the week. Tomorrow night, I get to call the (dreaded) jury duty line to see if my number is in the pool (you know it will be!). Then it’s up at o-dark thirty to catch a bus at 5:50 AM in order to be at the Courthouse by 7:30. These little county buses go up hill and down dale all over the place and take -forever- to get where they’re going!! I just hope it won’t involve -too- much walking for me. lol At any rate, keep me in your (good) thoughts for tomorrow night.
I fell out of my chair today. :smack: I hope that makes Mika feel not quite so bad; at least she was moving when she fell! I didn’t sprain anything, but I already have a huge bruise.
tax papers accumulated and emailed to accountant. (sigh of relief)
off to nibble on something (I skipped dinner) then to sleep.
Ya’ll remember my friend who was all in a bother to get married? She called me today to tell me that her sister-in-law/best friend (who I was wary of ever since I met her) got arrested today for embezzlement. So far the total is up to $30,000. The $1000 she paid for a hockey jersey? Embezzled. The laptop she gave my friend for Christmas? Stolen from work. And my friend could be on the hook for receiving stolen property. I am worried for her.
My printer is working so I am trying to get the last few pictures printed for Connor’s scrapbook. I looked at one that one of the other sponsors did, and it depressed me. I hope Connor didn’t see it and get his hopes up. She’s a professional scrapbooker. I am decidedly not.
Yogi just growled at something in his sleep and is trying to swat it. He’s so cute!
Why are so many people injuring themselves? :: blows kisses to **Mika ** and Tel ::
Off for tea with Scottish Darling. I have two classes tomorrow that I’ve done no reading for, but whatever. After my thesis trauma I deserve a break, damnit.
It’s given me furiously to think. I can’t change the destiny of my marriage (unless spouse wants to repair damage), but I can change my behavior towards him. I am quite caustic (not by Pit standards, but in RL I am known as snarky). Talk about reality checks. (I had ruled out an affair for several reasons–not all of them high minded and moral- long ago)
Wow, is that thread still going? I haven’t read it at all today - I’ve just been too busy, plus I think it’s become pretty repetitive.
Now I’m tard, and am going to have a snack before beddy-bye.
