Profiting from Hobbies, a MMP

yeah. that.

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 73 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 92 and maybe rain durin’ the afternoon. Or not. Today I shall betake myself over to the church house and be a Luterun. Afterwards I shall return to da cave to make Chikin Divan AKA Couch Chikin for N.O.L. Actually all I have to do is bake it as ‘tis already assembled. It shall be served with a green sallit and rolls. JDD and Partner are comin’ over to partake and then we shall all go to the nursin’ home in Dawson. JDD’s mother’s 92nd bday was Firday so we’re goin’ up to celebrate with a cake even.

OK I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands sustenance. Then purtification for deheathenization Luterun style must commence.

Happy Sunday Y’all!

When I let Higgs out this morning, I noticed my 2 newest azaleas looked really droopy, so I’ve got the sprinkler set up there to give 'em a good soaking before it gets too hot. Then we came in and I fed Higgs, who proceeded to eat so fast she started choking. I got to listed to her hacking for about 5 minutes until she cleared her palate and went back to her bowl. Idiot canine! I capped off the festivities by having a feline escort to the toilet. I swear, in this house, one cannot empty one’s bladder or bowels without supervision by at least one, if not both, cats, and occasionally the dog.

I think I shall invent a line of toys called Potty Pets! :smiley:

**FCD **just got up. After we shower, we’ll go out for breakfast. Then the day shall begin.

Happy Sunday!!

Up caffeinated, and sheveled. It monsooned so hard the mall flood and the complex pool is overflowing. :open_mouth:

I need to venture forth today to buy pants.

Sunday morning thunderstorm. BOOM right,over the condo. Even the cat was startled. Riding lesson this afternoon then my volunteer gig.

Swampy I thought you were Whiskepalin. Are you defecting???
.

Yeah, what they said.

Not only did I awaken still tahred, but sore to boot. Packing will wear a middle aged body out.

**doggio **- send us some monsoon. We got enough to make a small puddle in the driveway, but not nearly enough to give the yard and gardens a good drink. Dammit. Just hot hot hot with lots of sun. The crappy, clay-full soil around here dries out so fast…

Sheets are in the washer - shortly I’ll hang them on the lines. I expect they’ll dry almost as fast as if I put them in the dryer. We shall see.

Summer sucks.

Howdy Y’all! Home from Luterun style deheathenization. Couch chikin is in the oven doin’ its thing. JDD and Partner should be here shortly for pre-N.O.L. Bloody Marys.

WetOne I am indeed Whiskypalian. We have a group of Luteruns (ELCA flavor) who joined up with us at good ol’ St. Pat’s so we have a nine a.m. Luterun service. I sometimes go just to go and sometimes I am Lector or Usher then. I like to hang with 'em from time to time.

Watching a bunch of Renovation Realities now, feeling good about my DIY skills. I’m no Mike Holmes or Tom Silva, but I know which end of a hot wire not to touch and to always remember to wear these: safety glasses.

(Wife) Don’t you want gloves? Honey, you probably should wear gloves. Sure you don’t want gloves?..
<crunch><bleeding>
(Husband) Yeah, I probably should have been wearing gloves…

And another that re-wrote “measure twice, cut once” to “measure once, go to store once” after not measuring what they needed and buying too-short lumber. Anyone got a board stretcher?

Daydreaming about hopefully having a place of my own and doing some sort of minor renovations to. I’d be happy with just needing to paint a room and replace an ugly light fixture.

Happy Sunday!

It’s hot outside.

The grocery shopping has been done and put away.
I had cheese stuffed pretzel bites for lunch.

I need to clean up the kitchen, and I should put in a few hours at irk today.

We’re just back from seeing *The Secret Life of Pets *- it’s hilarious!!! And I’ve brought in the sheets and remade the guest bed. So there’s some productivity. :smiley:

Trying to decide if I feel like claying. I really should spend a little time down there. We shall see.

Hot and humid and ugh outside.

Howdy Y’all! N.O.L. got ingested and cake and punch were partaken of at the nursin’ home. Now I’m in da nice cool cave. OYKW went to his place to do some paperirk stuff, poor thing. He’ll be stayin’ there tonight. Thus I am sans adult supervision. That means I can sit out on the back porch in my drawers if’n I want. I won’t though. 'Tis also hot, hyooooooomid, and ugh here.

I had about an hour of claying - I threw 3 pots, then cleaned up - go me. Time for chillage till we decide we want to eat. I’m frying some corn on the cob tonight, just because.

Nats are down 1-0 in the 8th - they’re good at coming back, so there’s still hope for a win…

I think you mean “Mets are up 5-0 in the 9th” You had a couple of typos there

Blurf.

I went to Weight Watchers. I didn’t lose, but I didn’t gain, either. Given the frequency with which I went to our local ice cream emporia, I am happy about that.

Dinner tonight is Italian poultry sausage with marinara sauce doctored with sweet onion and red bell pepper over cauliflower “rice”. This is so I can have ice cream after dinner. :cool:

They tied it up - now they’re in the 12th.

I fried some corn on the cob for supper. When it’s good, it’s amazing. Unfortunately, the corn I had wasn’t all that great to begin with, and even frying couldn’t help it. Disappointing…

I connected via TeamViewer with my mom to help her resize a bunch of photos. It’s so much easier for me to take over her computer than to try to talk her thru the process. If my sweetie goes to FL this week, I plan to go visit Mom next weekend and I’ll walk her thru Batch Editing.

Can’t believe my weekend is almost over. Dammit. :stuck_out_tongue:

I cleaned the kitchen, now I’m making Five Spice Panky crusted poke chops with sweet potato and stir fried bok choy with broccoli and shitakes.

I et leftover pizza for dindin. I heated it up before I et so that showed a little bit of adultin’. :smiley: I’s also tahrd. I think in a bit I shall retire to the boudoir. Not that I HAVE to get up early tomorrow but I’m tahrd now.

Nitey Nite Y’all!

I’ve been sampling some Irish creme liquer and some Kraken Black Spiced Rum that I got as extras in the shotglass exchange. Life if mellow just now!:stuck_out_tongue:

I’m going to bed soon, as I have to go to work early again. Maybe the Bacardi Orange Rum, poured into freshly squeezed juice, will help.

Also, that would keep me from watching the news. Is it so wrong to say that?:frowning:

I’m mixed up tonight.

We made come to that a couple of weeks ago.
Not horrible.
