::Yawn:: ::Stretch:: Well, that was a nice nap. It’s fun to lean on something soft… 🙂 :eek: Been a **long** nap, though!!! \*\*Roo \*\*-- I’m sure you have some ideas… 😉 \*\*MBG \*\*-- now that the FemmeHorde is nice and rested I’m sure they’ll be coming after you. I think the aggression levels may have been lowered a bit by the events of the Nap, though 😃 Yay, boos, hugs as necessary to all! ---

Up and caffeinating - happy Hump day, Mumpers! 🙂 **MBG** , what did you do with the kitties while you all were gone? I’m glad that Cuervo has forgiven you, btw. ---

Heee. **beebs** , I wouldn’t look behind you, if I were you. Just sayin’. 😃 Oooh, **Pie** , our own MMPFest. That would be fun! Sounds like your boss is in denial, **Dotty**. So sad. I think I might be getting a cold. I’m hoping it’s just allergies, but my throat is a little bit sore… ☹ Argghhhh. I need to actually get up and read something for work. Well, I need to get ready for work and make lunch and have breakfast and read, actually. GT ---

Matter of fact I need to get my hind quarters back out there and check cause it may be full now. Today is supposed to get icky and stormy by afternoon. I hope so cause we need the rain and I like stormy weather. Later Y’all! ---

I’m up and caffeinated. It is going to be so nice today! I’m taking two of the idiots to the beach. (Blaze doesn’t like it.) It’s a bit breezy and chilly here, but it’s supposed to warm up and the wind will die down. The dogs know something is up, too… We had the storm y’all are fixing to get, **Swampus**. It wasn’t as bad as they predicted, at least for us. **Taters** , I hope they figure out what’s wrong and fix it, ASAP! Edema is very uncomfortable, and very scary! I’m gonna hang out on the Dope for a while, then gather up some more stuff for my adventure! I’m taking the camera to get Ernie’s first impression of the “big water.” It’s gonna be hilarious, I’m sure! ---

I agree with the blargle. Arg. My throat feels sore. It’s snowing here. Snowing. Isn’t it spring yet? **Taters** I hope you get good and conclusive results today. This sounds like ick! **Dotty** I was thinking about making cupcakes just like those muffins! Those cupcakes look adorable **Rosie**. I wonder if it would be too much chocolate if they had a cadbury egg in the center… :: giggles :: at **Rigs’** Mr. T impression. ---

I made a chocolate-in-chocolate version of those muffins once - chocolate muffins with solid chocolate easter eggs inside - drool! They were very very good and very quickly gone! ---

Good vibes going out to **taters**! Appropriate appendages all crossed. Very busy. Presentation from hell is running into billing hell. Early retirement is looking a lot more promising than it used to. 😛 Tupug ---

Hello, everyone! **zev** , don’t know if I’ll have time to post in your other thread, but I love your yearly Purim pictures. Your family is lovely. Someone explain to Nat that sleeping shouldn’t involve waving your limbs around and shouting for hours. Tired. And he’s getting his shots today and will no longer love Mommy, Grandma, or the doctor. Can anyone think of a reason I should leave him on his front for hours, if I’m there and he’s not asleep? He’s way happier on his front, although I’m afraid it will teach him to crawl early. Not desirable. Want him in one spot. ---

Blargle is definitely the word of the day. I slept badly; I definitely have some kind of teh sick because although my innards are feeling better, the rest of me is feeling worse. Yuck. ☹ Those recipes look eeeeevil. I’d probably love them! We’re supposed to get storms late this afternoon. I love storms myself, but Rusty, the Chief Idiot, is not so enamored. So I will probably have a dog trying to climb into my lap all evening. Which is difficult when he weighs 80 lbs! Not that he realizes that, of course. And he comes surprisingly close to succeeding, since he can compress himself down into a space that looks like it should only hold a chi-hooa-hooa. Stoopid dog. Back to caffeinating. ETA: I see no reason why not, **LiLi** , although I’m not one to ask – when I had **snowbunny** , we were _supposed_ to put babies to sleep on their stomachs. How times change as we learn more! But if you’re there and he’s awake, I don’t see a problem. Especially as he gains control over his neck.
