Bank error has been resolved in my favor. Collect all the money I was supposed to have. This week wanted to kick me in the ass one more time before it ended. My laundry basket tipped in the car and I didn’t notice some clothes fell out until I got home with clean, dry laundry. One of the articles of clothing that fell out was an Indicator Clothes. So now I have to wash some stuff in the sink. :smack: Like I don’t have enough crap on the drying rack. (I don’t dryer dry my irk clothes–they wrinkle worse than they already do and I Do Not Iron.) Next week better work out in my favor or I will be a grumpy octopus. ---

Sah kid slept late,\* now\* he wants to go get food. He found some ground beef in the freezer for hamburgers but we need rolls and catsup. It’s 35 degrees out. If he had his license and his own debit card he could go get his own food. I’ll pull out the blue box and make macaroni and cheese. I don’t want to go out. If sah-kid had been a girl his name would have been Miranda. His initials would have been MFA, so I guess it’s lucky he’s a boy. Got to watch those initials. I’m going with Gavin. ---

**sari** is your husband named Gavin? If not, does he know you’re goin’ with Gavin? 😛 Home from the Epiphany Partay. Yeah, yeah, party started at 6:30 p.m. EST and it’s 8:26 EST and we’re home already. Wild partay animals are we! My haid cold said it had had enough at 8:00 p.m. so we left. Truth be known, OYKW was ready to leave too. FWIW at least one other person was leavin’ so we weren’t the only ones. Had a good time though. Good food and great people to mingle with. One interestin’ dish was what I thought was a spinach and artichoke dip but was actually a collard greens and artichoke dip. Very good! YP’s wife made it. She said she had leftover collard greens and decided to go with 'em instead of spinach. Bold move but it was a hit! Now Ima take me some knockout nighttime cold stuff and go sleepy bye. Nitey Nite Y’all! ---

So…can cats get drunk? This is what I am pondering as I bemusedly watch Dresden the Big, Regal Dork-Cat bounce around the room like he just had 12 testosterone shots. I mean, really, he only had 3 slices of champagne-soaked strawberry…but damn, he’s a belligerent drunk! 😛 ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 48 Amurrkin and cloudy out with a predicted high of 57 and maybe some rain. We had some rain overnight but not a whole lot. Winter in south Jawja. **Tao** cats are ornery enough without alcohol. :eek: Imagine if Dresden had had a couple of vodka soaked cherry tomatoes like I did last night. Seriously, I ate two of 'em and felt a little buzz. Good 'maters! So today I officially give up my seat on the Vestry. YAY!!! Ok, I’m a little sad but glad also that three year stint is over. Also it’s brunch Sunday and I have a sausage, onions and **N.O.T.** dish that needs to visit the oven whilst I purtify for deheathenization. The annual Parish meetin’ will begin durin’ brunch and hopefully will be over by the end of brunch. As one of the three leavin’ the Vestry I get to (along with the others) distribute, collect and count ballots. I just know y’all wish you were me today. 😃 The haid cold feels better this mornin’. Maybe I’m on on the mend. Now I need more caffiene and should feed rumbly tummy. Happy Sunday Y’all! ---

Been up and at 'em since 5:30-ish, thanks to a noisy doggeh. \*\*FCD \*\*went back to work today, so we went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, then I ran to the office with him to get a couple of notes. I need to research some specs because the so-called program manager is making pronouncements that are wrong, and we need to cite chapter and verse to keep him from screwing the project and the company. I’ll even get to put a couple of hours on the clock doing this - yay! 😃 After that, general tidying and stuff till 4 when \*\*FCD \*\*intends to root for the Seahawks - he really hates the Redskins! So off I go to look up rules about pitot static systems. Happy Sunday!! ---

Good Morning! I am up and LibbyCat is fed but **mr ems** is still snoozing. I want to go out for breakfast but I don’t think it will happen. We did go and see The Hobbit and then went out for a really nice steak dinner at a fancy schmancy steak steak place. It was delicious although I struggled to eat all mine so **mr ems** got to finish up the last couple of bites of my filet…he suffered through and took one for **team ems** 😉 I get to clean our bathroom today. Yay! ---

Blurf. I need to straighten up my closet today. I’m getting rid of boxes before I haul in a lot of crap from Dad’s house. Older Sister has already gone on one cleaning spree and filled up all of the trash cans. ---

I’m done researching - go me! 😃 There are few things more frustrating than trying to wade thru military specs - especially when they’re old scanned copies that can’t be searched except the old fashioned way. So now, what to do? I suppose I could tidy something, or get out the carpet cleaner and attack the puppy pee spots - I think she’s added 4 since the last time I cleaned. Idiot dog. Oh, I need to turn on the heater for the new aquarium water - then when \*\*FCD \*\*gets home, he can add the salt and it’ll dissolve pretty fast. Funny how much I end up doing for the aquarium that I didn’t even want in the first place. Same with the dog. Funny how that happens… :rolleyes: I need chocolate!
