Speaking of **swampy **- where did he disappear to? He didn’t do his usual morning FB post. Has he been abducted by aliens?? :eek:
Whatever. It’s time for my late-ish lunch break. Chef salad and cheddar cheese Ruffles (with rrrrrridges!!) 
I didn’t have breakfast this morning, so now all I can think about is lunch. And reading about your delicious lunches is not helping! I don’t even like ham and it’s making me hungry to read about it. I’m thinking about my sad Lean Cuisine, and maybe going out for lunch on Friday, and the meals I’m going to eat a few weeks from now when I’m travelling… yeah. I need to eat something.
It was more Charlie Chaplinesque. I purposely didn’t shovel yesterday because it was scheduled to drop below zero° again & we were supposed to get more sleet. That’s less slippery & easier to get up if there’s a base of snow under it than if it’s on the macadam. I’d put my shovel in to push the stuff; the shovel wouldn’t move but the feet were sliding backwards. This happened multiple times near the end.
…& the home-cooked meals from the hubby who’s a professional chef. :dubious:
Home, veggie-beef soup is simmering. I foresee a very early bedtime.
My husband cooks 40 hours a week. He doesn’t want to cook when he gets home.
That’s why I didn’t marry a gynecologist.
In all seriousness, he’s working the dinner shift most days, so I’m the one making dinner for the kiddos and me. I only get his cooking about once a week or so.
**Juliet **- you crack me up!!! 
As usual, the soup was very good. And there’s tons left over - I see soup for supper tomorrow also.
Daughter went to movie with wine with some friends. SIL is tending to Roxy. I’m about to assume the veg position. I’ll be sleeping with Mel tonight.
The boss has been referring to my Baby Engineer as Lippy because he tends to mouth off. It got me to remembering Lippy the Lion and Hardy Har Har. I mentioned it to FCD and he created and printed a poster that’s going to mysteriously appear on Baby Engineer’s wall in the morning…
Howdy Y’all! I am here. Today I laid in provisions, took care of some stuff over to the church house as in put the biiiiiiiiiiiiiig trash can (only one this week) out at the road for pickup tomorrow, went through some stuff to make sure I know where instructions are for such things as timer settin’s for thermostats, security lights, and the big church sign, as I will need those when the time changes next month, and attached a plague* to a bench that will be goin’ in the veggie garden area. As to my usual mornin’ book of faces post, well, I don’t know how I did it, but it’s there as a comment to another post I made instead of bein’ on it’s own. I blame it on the caffeine not havin’ kicked in yet. Sup was leftovers. Tomorrow I envision chikin pot pie.
Moooooom I haven’t thought about Lippy the Lion and Hardy Har Har in years! I love me some Hannah-Barbera toons!
*Story time. Many years ago in the Ye Olde Home Towne newspaper, The LaGrange Daily News (even though it publishes six not seven days a week) AKA to the locals as The Snooze published an article wherein the local Kiwanis Club was reported to have given several members plagues in recognition of their years of service. Thus, plaques are forever more known to me as plagues. The plague I affixed to a bench this mornin’ is in honor of a church member who has devoted a huge amount of time to keepin’ up the veggie garden. She has really been the rock of that program!
We had had a nice steady rain off and on all day mostly on. I left irk early and just finished leftovers for supper. It shan’t be long until I try to get to sleep. It’s been a day for laying up. And thus that endeth the day. If I can get through tomorrow and Firday I shall have a three day rest.
Night y’all.
Good luck with your learning TB.
spidey, your breakfast looks suspiously like a Fruity Pebbbles knockoff.
Just as we’re getting our new cycle counter up and running, we had to leave the other one go. She was a good counter with bad attendance and a tendency to stir shit. This is what they get for sticking with temp labor for this position. If they were to post it internally, there are folks in production who would be interested and they have something to lose if they flake out.
Twas a crazy day weatherwise here in middle Tennessee too. Right at freezing when I got up and nearly sixty when I came home from irk. Some days, I just don’t know how to dress.
Mom: Please forgive my keyboard ineptitude early this morning, and thanks for pointing out my foo-pas.
Original “reservation” was for Saturday, 23 February, at some time hopefully during daylight hours.
Later on I got a text message saying it was rescheduled to Friday, 22 February, between 0800 and 1200.
grumble-grumble…
That’s about 52 more a year than he makes for me. 
I had a poor, deprived childhood; don’t believe I’ve ever had (or even seen) Fruity Pebbles. Just looked 'em up. Yup, that it be. I thought what I bought was some Rice Krispie knockoff. Thanks for fighting ignorance!
Got a new toy today. Less horsepower but probably wider tires than Bessie. 
George, that’s a looooooong wait. Hope it’s worth it.
Got the bills in the mail, registered for Spring soccer volunteering, and even mopped the kitchen. Cheeseburger has been consumed and message sent to brudder about visiting him and Sis-In-Law next week. So for me, it was a pretty active day.
Tomorrow I might even move the furniture and clean the wood floor in the Great Room. Or not.
It was actually a really close call and one of those odd things. I woke up before my alarm went off and not because I had to pee; my usual reason. As I woke up I heard this drip noise and my first reaction was the OW didn’t fully turn off the shower if she showered that AM. I looked in the bathroom and the tub was dry and just then I heard another drip. I came around to the sink room (which doesn’t have a sink but did long before we were born ----- and all our rooms have names so deal with it 
) to see a big dirty drop land right in the middle of it. I had the top up so the canvas didn’t get wet and with all the finish and a plastic “blotter” on it no real harm was done. Except for some of the serious cussing on my part peeling some more paint. I got a trashcan and then a storage tub in place and it got about an inch of water in it so that could have been serious if things had not gone right. There is a piece of plaster threatening but until we can get the fix done and consider steps from there I figure to duct tape it into place before it comes fully free of the lathe. Duct tape can fix anything. I may see if I can figure more out this weekend when I have herself around to be spotter as I do stupid home-owner things.
Its odd. Considering I know we have a ghost, this didn’t feel like that. Just good fortune. And considering how rarely I have good fortune I feel I know the difference. I just happened to wake up and my ears and brain recognized “something wrong”.
On an unrelated note; I am NOT bailing from Da Jungle -------- I’m going to hang around and get fired at some point like I always planned the last year. And I did a double today and got home to find out I won that funky meat cleaver. Now to figure out if its from Laos or where the hell its from.
Spidey if you have the passwords and all from the Dropbox (?) you created for my a few months back I may ask you for the details in an e-mail. Or I may just create one myself. I am getting into some things I may want to post picture links here now and then. Did I mention I have like 1000 Soviet pins and badges needing a good home?
Im alive if anyone’s wondering ….
its been boring here for once but that wont last especially if I make a change im thinkin of making its gonna hit the fan …went to the gym after a week in of a half and yeesh I felt it ………
aunt decided not to get a another car as we don’t really need one and since it was deemed partly cousins fault for the accident her insurance it going to go up and she used it for personal use and didn’t take us anywhere shes not happy about it
the weather hasn’t decided if its gonna rain or not …wish it would make up its mind ……
Roxy woke me around 2:30 And I’m still up. I got about 5 hours of sleep this time. But I have tomorrow off, so there’s that.
HAPPY VD!!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 36 Amurrkin out and clear (well, dark) with a predicted high of 66 and shall be mostly cloudy for the day accordin’ to TWPTB. No biggie plans for the day which is fine by me. I shall assemble and bake a chikin pot pie for sup along with a green sallit. I foresee spendin’ quality time with Netflix as well.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, onward into the day. Rah.
Since it’s Valentine’s Day, I shall send y’all a Valentine.
I’m sendin’ my nose to Arizona.
I’m sendin’ my liver to Peru.
I’m sendin’ my kidney to Sydney.
But I’m sendin’ my heart to you.
Happy Thursday Y’all!
What about your spleen???
:eek:
Happy Valentine’s Day!
For Valentine’s Day, I’m going to the dentist! It’s just a cleaning and exam, but with my dental phobia, it’ll be a fantastic way to spend the afternoon. And since I’ve been too afraid to go to the dentist for a long time, I haven’t had a cleaning in a long time… I’m hoping there’s no lecture. I know I should go more often. I know I should take better care of my teeth.
But at least I’m not going to go back to work after. I’m going to be too stressed out by it all to work. So I’m going to pick up Juliet Jr. from school and go grocery shopping. I like shopping with my girlie. She’s my sweetheart.
It’s going to Killeen…
Slept in till 7:30am, 50F and N.O.S. outside, nothing major planned for the day.
ruble, congrats on winning the meat cleaver. Let us know if you ever do figure out where its’ from. And when someday you do get fired, make it something memorable…
OK, need to clean up and do adult things. All y’all take care.
Dibs on the pancreas!!!
Naaah; it will be very dignified and honorable. Now the party I throw for my coworkers (present and former) and friends later that week after shift at the semi-official Jungle Watering Hole ------ now THAT is going to be memorable. I may not remember it of course ------ but it will be a goody.
