Even though it’s chilly (51°), it is SO pretty and sunny and the wind is so delightful that I’ve opened the house up. It feels absolutely heavenly. I am SO ready for spring to genuinely and truly come. Our daffodils out front are starting to bloom, but we’re not forecast to have a day about 60° for the next ten days. Phooey. I am more than ready for spring!
I’m with Spaz. Straight as… well, something really, really straight. Or something.
Which means of course that I’m part of the huge majority here who like girls 
Shocking to some of you, I know 
**Muppet **-- this
… followed by this
literally made me LOL
Boy, everyone’s chatty!
Tagless, personally, I want my appliances to match. But I’m super anal, uptight, and neurotic. So you might want to take that into account when weighing my opinion. And I certainly wouldn’t recoil in horror if I went to someone’s house and their appliances didn’t match. It’s only at my own house that it bothers me.
I’ve had a couple dreams (the sleeping kind!) about making out with other girls, but when I’m awake, I’m completely straight. I have no problem with other people doing whatever they want with whoever they want, but I’m just slightly squicked out at the thought of me doing anything with another girl. Dunno why. It’s just the way I am.
Those were going around in an email at work. Very cool!
*<Feels safer about impending mini-MMP fest…> * I never had any inclination to smooch on girls - not my idea of fun.
Hullo. I’m home. It’s very very windy here, but sunny, so there’s that. I think our project is going to be posted today, so yay. Especially since tomorrow I’m acting project lead, and no one else will be there. Al (not my boss, another Al) left for vacation in Europe last week and won’t be back till I’m in Orlando. His replacement is taking tomorrow off, and the 2 electrical engineers are off, so there’s just me.
And I’m back after many interruptions, almost an hour after I started this post - sheesh! I can’t remember what I had to say - your loss…
Anyway, I may bail out early tomorrow. **FCD ** is taking the day off (YAY! He’s worked his butt off for the last 3 or 4 weekends - he deserves a break!) If I do come home, it’ll be to make a run to the dump or something equally exciting.
Yep, that’s my life.
Do any of you knitter’s read the Yarn Harlot blog? I was just introduced to it earlier this week and I’m really enjoying it.
I love the Yarn Harlot, she’s great.
I have a few others I read regularly also (Crazy Aunt Purl, a few local knitters I know from the store, the Panopticon is another great one!)
Am home from work in one piece.
What a day. First, I feel lousy, due to sore throat, which is getting worse. Then NM says I have to stay late (the other RN there can’t because her “daughter is sick”. It appears to have been a sudden illness, IMO). I say ok, I’ll stay late, but can I have tomorrow off due to throat and the fact that I’ll have worked a 12 or 14 hour shift today, on top of all the other time I’ve given this week. She calls me back and says no. Great. Now I’m annoyed and feel like I have to climb a mountain.
then she calls back and says that Different Annoying Coworker (who wasn’t annoying until today) says she’ll come in this afternoon, so I can go home on time, so that tomorrow won’t be so bad (for me and my throat). Great! I’m happy. Plus, I get my “bonus check” --all $64.53 of it. I’ve never gotten a bonus check in my life, so I’m happy.
And then DAC comes in. And she is pissed. Seems she came in and doesn’t like the work she will have to do. 
It’s called work for a reason(?). She proceeds to bitch and kvetch and moan and piss for 2 hours. I left her there–I decided to not reward such nastiness with help. Plus, I feel yucky. I will be there tomorrow, but I am not doing jack or dick this weekend. (I phoned them and let them down easy–badumbump!). I am off to bed now–at 345pm. I’m that tired.
I am just :eek: about DAC. Unbelievable.
Balloon people look weird, but happy-why is that?
blargle blargle blargle
Left work early, it would be nice to start the weekend early, if only it weren’t because of teh sick. Ugh.
We haven’t seen Puck for a bit, I don’t think. I hope all is well with her new/old boy.
Rosie those are some interesting pictures. It must be difficult to wear one of those dresses (though they are quite pretty) … no sitting down or they’ll pop. I wonder how the models get in and out of them…there can’t be a zipper. hmm…more information needed.
I had other stuff to say, but I don’t remember. Oh well.
Okay, back from the house. Pictures are here just keep going through them, there’s a lot! But you’ll get the general feel of the house.
swampy, I nearly choked on my Coke reading that!
The balloon fashion looks like something I’d try…
Thanks for the opinions on the cabinets. I’m wanting to go lighter with the floor and the counters. But would like some color too, right now it’s kinda cold… even with all that orange!
Got home and had to go out and scrape the stray (and huge! Think mini-bobcat!) off the road. Right before the girls got off the bus a truck hit it, and they were pretty traumatized. They liked to feed it scraps, even though it wouldn’t ever come near any of us. Liked to camp out in the garage though. Humpf! I’ll have Jim bury him later. I am assuring the girls that he is put to rest. 
I cannot comment on the liking other girls. Jim will no longer allow it if he can’t watch. 
Terribly exciting news!
Hubby and I just realized that both our kids have activities tonight from 6-8 pm!!!
Drop daughter at play rehearsal and son at a birthday party and then we GO OUT TO DINNER-- ALONE!!!
Thai food!!!
Woo hoo for date night. Well, date two hours, anyway. Go Rapunzel!
That house looks like it’ll be very comfy, TagFree. And your little guy is a real cutie. I love the silly pictures of both of you, too. And that green room…oh my!..very green.
Sorry for the work stress, rigs. It’s sounding a bit too much like your old job.
I left work at 1:00!!! It’s a miracle. And even got a bunch of stuff done. Laundry, eye appointment, paid some bills, ran over to the credit union, something else I’m forgetting.
Now I’m off to forage for food and then it’s off to church for Holy Thursday mass.
Back after a while…
GT
Whew … one more day!!!
Okay, I missed making comments earlier about the girl-on-girl action. I’ll admit to having “girl crushes” but have never done anything. However, several years ago I watched this special on HBO (I think … ) called “If these walls could talk 2” which was 4 stories about lesbians who all lived in this one house at various times. The first couple (Lynn or Vanessa Redgrave played one of the couple, I think) was together for some time, but when one died, the other’s family stepped in and took over … it was pretty sad. 
Anyways, the second story was a group of girls in the late 60s/early 70s. They were all “feminine” lesbians and weren’t attracted to butch lesbians, except one of them met one and fell for her. Oh my … that sex scene was HOT!!! The actress playing the butch girl was … damn, I forget her name now, but she plays one of the wives on Big Love. LOL But I’m telling you, that sex scene got me hot and bothered. I didn’t quite know what to make of it, because the butch girl acted very much like a man, very masculine. But I found the scene quite … exciting.
Thank G-D tomorrow is Firday!
That’s ok, long distance doesn’t work for me anyway.
Yeah I know, just venting. She asked me out, then comes up with just friends?
Hmm…
Absotively!
It’s a good thing I’m not gay, then. My fridge is almond, my range is black and my micro is white, with a stainless double sink.
**puggy **, I don’t remember your age, but I don’t think you’re much, if any, older than me. I’m 44. So hush with that crone talk, please.
This discussion of my love life, or lack thereof, seems to have fueled a few imaginations.
NoTag, poor kitty
{{{Sickies}}}
Nola - that’s a great house. And so big! The view of the back - is that whole thing yours including the ptiched second floor on the right side of the photo? is that storage over the garage?
Love the amount of land you have. When’s the party?
It appears to be infested with adorable gremlins.
Thanks, Tarra, this is now at the top of my Netflix queue.
NoTag, that is one awesome house.
I think I’m caught up now!
Tired.
Held hands and flirted with a girl. No kissing.
Still working.
Bye.
But the question is do you want to kiss a girl. 
I’m home, had supper, now I’m playing some Halo3 with the hubby.
