Spring Into The MMP!

It felt nice to sit outside for a while today.
It was a little chilly since I had on a t-shirt but still nice.

I haven’t gotten much done today, I keep looking at my list and realize a lot on it is out of my control, I’m waiting for other people to get back to me.

I could start some laundry but it can wait until the morning.
Laundry seems like a morning chore, not an afternoon chore.

I had a teacher in high school who had a saying, “The work expands to fit the time available.”

Like junk accumulates to fill all available space

Observant Mormons abstain from coffee, tea, tobacco, and alcohol as a baseline. Some are more stringent about it, and also avoid other forms of caffeine (says the reasonably active Mormon drinking a Mt. Dew). We’re also strongly encouraged to avoid other habit-forming substances, any illegal drugs (we’re also expected to obey civil law), and misuse of legal medicines.

gotti, that’s why the oil change guys do mine. :smiley:

Home from irk, supper done (pan grilled poke shoulder smothered in onions, mushrooms and peppers and sauteed zucchini) and now it’s time to kick back in the studio.

I just laughed my ass off at some typo on twitter that wasn’t even funny in the first place.

I have desperately got to get a life.

I’ll hit the piano in a bit (well, not “hit” it exactly… you know what I mean.)

T.G.I.H.!!!
I’m off the next two days, and I get to tailgate tomorrow:D

Sorta like good Baptists don’t talk to each other at the Liquor Sto?

Yay for friend visits, Midget.

ruble, that sounds wred. And what eeybody else said.

My friend was actually from here originally, but he’s studying in Ohio now. But he’s back in town for the week. We went to a mall and hunted owls and huffed tea. Good times. :stuck_out_tongue:

And on that note (see what I did there?), it’s piano time.

I’s tahred. I think I’m gonna ask Mel to join me in bed shortly.

MWAH!

Howdy Y’all! Home from Agape Supper over to the church house. The kidlets made flat bread for use durin’ Communion tonight. From the sound of the bread makin’ I heard in the kitchen, a good time was had by all. Also I had some amazin’ soup that contained chikin, barley, navy beans, carrots, onions, celery and cajun seasonin’.

If y’all had huffed owls and hunted tea, that would have been fodder for a MMP. :smiley:

red I just have to say your dindin sounds amazin’! I said “YUM!” out loud as I read your post.

Just got home (from training); gotta do dinner quick as I have a 9pm call (with our Asia team). I bought pre-breaded chicken cutlets (because they were on sale - don’t judge).
There are cooking instrux on the package:
“COOKING INSTRUCTIONS: Grill, Broil, Bake, Pan Fry until product is done.”

Uhhh, geez, thanks guys! :rolleyes:
Howsabout a time &/or a temp to cook 'em at, because what you gave me are merely cooking ideas. :smack:

Breakroom is currently “under discussion and development”. New issue is bathrooms. With the fancy new ones done they started destruction for reconstruction of the old ones. Problem is today when full strength staff “hit the head” at break, and a lot of flushing happened at once, this amazing stream of water came out the floor drain. On the good side they had a porta-potty trailer on site in less than 20 minutes. On the bad side, it was 20 minutes. Or walk through potential gray water.

Is it just me or are other people thinking we’ll need a relaunch of the relaunch? :smiley:

I don’t know why I have gotten into watching Bait Car I usually don’t like those kinds of shows but these people are so stupid, it’s like watching a train wreck.

The it goes into Alaska State Troopers, once again a type of show I don’t like. There’s a trooper on there, I can’t remember his title but his name is Melvin Colley. Every time they mention his name I think they are saying Officer? Melancholy.

The sprog has to make an Israeli flag for a geography project. Does he ask his mom, the nice Jewish girl, for help? No. He asks his anal-retentive Irish Catholic father. If he’d asked his mom, the nice Jewish girl, he’d’ve been done about an hour and a half ago. Apparently, the official standard is “Meh, it looks about right. Close enough for government work”, something the anal-retentive Irish Catholic can’t quite wrap his mind around.

I am so amused right now.

I guess they assume anyone buying prebreaded cutlets would know they are done when the smoke detector goes off.:stuck_out_tongue:
On the other had, I’m making herbed chicken with Parmesan Mozzarella rice and suated green beans with garlic and grape tomatoes.

Ruble, at this point, I’d suggest burning the building to the ground and starting over. Preferably close to a good bar.

We are all willing to be character witnesses at a Divorce Trial, but if you continue to flaunt this…this…indiscretion concerning your back door man…

**flytrap **- back door man?? You wound me, sir! :stuck_out_tongue:

**doggio **- tell the truth - are you really Stefan Pastis, creator if this? Because you’re the first one I think of when he does these strips…

We’re supposed to have a nice, sunny day and Food Lion has ribs on sale, so I’m thinking that’s a sign. I can open the garage, set up the smoker so it’s smoking out the door, and supper, plus leftovers, will be falling off the bones in no time! Of course, I need to go to the store first, which means showering and getting dressed and stuff. Eventually. It’s still dark out.

I’ve already got the dishwasher running. Loading it is a real challenge sometimes. It’s sorta like Tetris with plates and pots, but you don’t want them fitting together too tightly. There needs to be room for the water to jet and flow. I’m pretty good at it - very rarely does something have to go thru a second time. (OK, in that case, I’ll usually just hand-wash and be done with it.) And I’ve had breakfast, and I’m caffeinating. So after I read my usual morning stuff, I’ll do the shower thing and head in to Leonardtown.

And while the ribs are smoking, I might actually start gathering sticks in the front yard. Fresh air and sunshine, you know. :smiley:

Happy Thursday!

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis 61 Amurrkin out and waaaaaaaaay foggy with a predicted high of 81 and rain this afternoon and tonight. Tomorrow is supposed be rainy/stormy with a predicted high of 67. Weather be weird.

ruble I am beginnin’ to believe that perhaps not quite the brightest of minds engineered this re-design.

spidey cook 'em 'til they’re done. What done means is up to you.

flytrap I thought about goin’ to bed with Mel last night but he already had a date with MOOOOOOM. However, Mel and I may go to bed together tonight.

Ok, that’s all I got. I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands sustenance. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence. On the bright side, everybody who is supposed to get paid tomorrow will get paid. I checked irk email a little bit ago and everyone’s name is there. Happiness shall ensue tomorrow.

Happy Thursday Y’all!

I feel like an idiot. I walked out the door this morning to go to work and found out that I left my driver’s side window open all night. In the rain. :smack:

Fortunately its an old truck with power nothing, so the rain just made the seat wet, rather than ruining a bunch of electronics.

Just overheard on the Anne Arundel County public safety radio, highways division “Okay folks, safety message of the day: Watch out for pedestrians because the sure as hell ain’t watchin out for you!”

Day. Made.
