Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! šŸ˜ƒ Good vibes going out to **stickyā€™s** mom. Happy Firday to alla rest of you. Iā€™ve got Fambly coming in tonight. Nurse Debbie, son and boyfriend coming down from MA and Brother Tom coming from Houston. Weā€™ll eat out tonight and there will be a pool party tomorrow night. Other activities will be specking out some retirement communities for my brother, buying some electronics, possibly seeing Lil Lestat compete in a triathalon and maybe a movie if we can fit it all in. Whew! Glad next weekend has a hollerday in it. Thatā€™s all I got. Tupug ---

Blurf. Happy firday. **GT** , did you put my recipe for stuffed jalapeno peppers in the recipe blog? It wasnā€™t recentā€¦ Anyway, I have a warning. I happened to make some this week, and used jalapenos from a different source than usual. They were considerably hotter than I am accustomed to. Who knew that peppers make great laxatives? As an added bonus of misery, I now know what itā€™s like to erroneously use Ben Gay instead of Preparation H. ---

I do support my local farmers but it is to laugh. During the summer months itā€™s wonderful. But there is some stupid Chef out there that says I should ONLY buy local. If thatā€™s the case Iā€™d be eating only squash and acorns for six months out of the year! Oh, and I know the topic has probably changed 9,117 times since the OP. Still, I wanted to answer it. ---

**Meeks!** So good to see you! Still sending out good vibes for **Stickyā€™s** mom. This week has not been kind to my waistline _at all._ After my hair appointment, Iā€™m going to have to come home and work off too many calories to count. **Bobbio,** my husband has felt your pain WRT to jalapenoā€™s too many times. He used to love jalapeno poppers. Problem was, he paid for it in a biiiig way when it was time to sit on the pot. Itā€™s cool and wet hereā€¦where the hell is May? Time to brush my toofeses and head out to my hair appt. ---

**BBBobbio** for future reference thatā€™s not how one usually goes about gettinā€™ a ā€œhotā€ ass. šŸ˜› Iā€™m inside to get some snackies. We need snackies. Gotta keep our strength up. This lounginā€™ around the pool stuff can be quite strenuous after all. Besides since weā€™re practisinā€™ on our seven deadly sins, gluttony needs to have its chance. So far itā€™s been sloth and lust. Some degree of gluttony is sure to ensue. Greed, wrath, envy and pride, well Iā€™m not sure those will be accomplished. But, hey, 3 out of 7 ainā€™t bad right? šŸ˜ƒ Ok, gotta head back out there so we can get workinā€™ on gluttony! ETA: Hiya **Meeks**! LTNS! _MWAH_ ---

My mom is still sick today but seems much better than yesterday. Iā€™d like to rethink my answer to the OP. I do frequent the local Amish/Mennonite/Pennsylvania Dutch Market all the time. And if I need fresh produce, etc. for my lunches, I try to buy it there. I was just there this morning, as a matter of fact, to buy fresh chocolate covered pretzels! LOL šŸ˜ƒ ---

I need to get moving. I should be getting ready for Renaissance Faire. I finished my room, except for unpacking one box of books and taking a few more things to my storage unit and to the thrift store. I got all my hats hung. I think it looks cool. Theyā€™re on the ceiling over my bed. You can miss them if you donā€™t look up, but when you do itā€™s like ā€˜damn, you have a lot of hats.ā€™ And yes, I do. It took 24 hooks to hang them all. I may post pictures later. Yeah, so I still have to finish getting ready for Faire. I have to cook some stuff, pack, pack food, and run to the grocery store and bank. So, Iā€™ll see you all on Monday. ---

WOOF! Thatā€™s what I gotta say about today. šŸ˜ƒ OYKW knows how to keep meā€¦ ummmā€¦ entertained. šŸ˜‰ Anwho, weā€™s through with pooltime and all showered and clean. Need some food type substance soon. Despite what I was told about cookinā€™, it shall be hot dawgs on the grill. I want me a hot dawg! Tomorrow we are havinā€™ some friends over for an afternoon of pooltime and merriment. I am not I am not to be doinā€™ any cookinā€™. Seriously. It all got planned to involve me not makinā€™ any food. :eek: Said I, people cominā€™ to da cave and me not makinā€™ food. :eek: I was _told_ I would not. The noive! šŸ˜ƒ Of course it remains to be seen how I will do re somebody else usinā€™ my grill. Iā€™m told burgers will be involved which means they will need to be cooked. Yeah, well, I have let OYKW use my grill but still, Iā€™m supposed to not do anything and people are cominā€™ over. :eek: I may need to be restrained. Not that thatā€™s a bad thing. šŸ˜ƒ ---

Home at last. Work wasnā€™t too horrid, apart from having to be there till 6. ick. I did learn to use a new part of an old program - the thing we got ā€œtrainingā€ on yesterday. Itā€™s actually pretty intuitive once you can click yourself. I done good picking that part, too. My cohort took on the other part of the task which turned out to be way complicated. But heā€™s smarter than I am in using certain features of the program, so he got it done way faster than I would have. \*\*FCD \*\*took today off to do a short haul on the boat. That means taking it out of the water, pressure washing the scum off the hull, then putting it back in the water. Except when they were pressure washing, the bottom paint was coming off. Itā€™s not supposed to do that. So \*\*FCD \*\*had them block the boat and he and daughter and daughterā€™s friend are going to paint ot tomorrow. $250 a gallon/ 2 gallons. :eek: Plus the cost of the haul and the cleaning and the time on the hill. This was supposed to be a $220 event. Not any moreā€¦ ā˜¹ New puppy is home. Must runā€¦ ---

After my hair appointment, my lovely daughter came down to pay a visit. We took off to Costco where I had to fight the Zombie Horde of Very Old Confused people who could neither walk nor push a cart. :rolleyes::mad: They converged on the sample stations like buzzards to fresh, steaming road kill and blocked all the aisles and they ran into me numerous times. Anyway, I went there with the intention of picking up some make-up and Copper River Salmon. They sell a specific kind of base and eye shadow that I really like, but they didnā€™t have any. Oh, they had all manner of wrinkle remover/preventer crap, mascara, mineral bead blush, and lip gloss, but not what I needed. At any rate, this did not prevent me from dropping more than 250 dollars there. Sheesh! Dinner, however, will be tasty. Copper River (sorry Wendy) filet, spinach and cheese ravioli, alfredo sauce, and steamed vegetables. I wonā€™t be having any alfredo sauce, though. Iā€™ve eaten far too much rich and calorie laden food this week. Iā€™ll be eating the salmon and veggies. My daughter wanted the ravioli and alfredo sauce. Since I donā€™t see her often, I obliged. \*\*FCM, \*\*sorry to hear about the unanticipated work on the boat. **Swampy** , let your sweetie and friend pamper you. Youā€™re always doing for them, let them return the favor. ---

Yuck about the boat stuff **MOOOOOOM**. Yeah fun stuff like boats and poolsā€¦ theyā€™re not supposed to be high maintenance! YEAH, RIGHT! :rolleyes: **Taters** I have resigned myself to letting everybody else do stuff tomorrow. Thereā€™s even the possibility that I might not have to be restrained. I blame it all on my mother. What? Arenā€™t we supposed to blame our quirks on our mothers? Seriously. Sheā€™s the one I got my, gotta do all this stuff cause people are cominā€™ over, genes from. Plus I do actually _like_ all the prep stuff. I will probably need restraints. Or lots of beer. Either way, itā€™s all good!
