The Dog Watch MMP

Tell me about it. That’s why she has 8 machines, and enough fabric stash that I’m fighting with her for room to build a model railroad. :rolleyes:
:wink:

Takin’ a break from ironin’. Have I mentioned I hates ironin’? I do. However, I lurves cotton shirts, so there ya go.

Life is hard.

I’m taking a break from cleaning a shelf. There’s a huge amount of crap on that shelf, so it’ll probably take all day.

Dang Midget, just how big is that shelf? :smiley:

I have more ironin’ to do but for now I declare that I am stoppin’. I shall do more later. Really. I promise. Honest.

It’s a Continental Shelf.

:smiley:

I repaired the pump plumbing that froze at the Trailer In The Woods. It rained all the way there, slacked up when I arrived, began raining like hell when I opened the car door, and continued to do so until the moment I turned the wrench the last time.
:mad: Rain free on the way home.
Ribs a’la Swampy, baked beans and some corn on the cob we did not cook last night. I await the return of Mrs. Plant v.3.0 from her Dark Satanic Mill.

I’m thinking pizza for dindin

Finished the shelf and started on another.

Always a good choice!

Midget you are just a shelf cleanin’ machine today!

Steak, friggin’ good N.O.T., sallit and cheesey bread for dindin.

Feelin’ icky- was supposed to be going to a friend’s 30th, but I just want to spend the night in, so I am- I suspect I might be comin’ down with the lurgy, so I don’t want to spread it around…

Oh well, there’s chocolate 'n beer in the house, and we all get on well, so I think we might just have a nice night in together.

I am cursed. We went to Bert’s for a burger, and once again, the slice of tomato on my burger was from the core end of the tomato - more core than tomato. I swear, every place we go, whether I get a burger or a sammich with tomato, I get core slices. They’re even worse when the restaurant buys those nasty pinkish hot house tomatoes. I think I’m going to start saying “No 'maters!!!”

Bert’s is a diner, and they have the old juke-box thingies in the booths. I decided to drop a quarter in and I picked Penny Lane. It played Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town - I think someone goofed. And I was bummed - I wanted to hear some Beatles.

All the backsplashes are uninstalled. **FCD **just ran out to get fast-drying mud so we can repair a few spots in the wall. Monday, I’ll slap some primer on the walls before the contractors get here. Next weekend, I’ll paint. Then we’ll be ready to fest! :smiley:

Last load is in the washer. It is not a lazy day here. dammit.

The house is now de-christmatized, inside and out, laundry is in a state of launding, and the fridge has been scrubbed out so it’s shiny and white in there again.

I think I deserve at least a cookie now…

and some hot cocoa

My house is always de-Christmasized.

The spelling checker choked on that one.

Blurf.

6:50 is too early to go to bed, right?

**Sticky **- depends on whether you’re tired or not… :wink:

I am very excited. I started a thread in IMHO asking for opinions on fringe, and kayT mentioned a ruana, which I’d never heard of before. I’ve looked up a couple of patterns and I’m really excited to make one or a dozen. :smiley: Is it pathetic that I’m all excited about another knitting project??

On that note, I’m off to knit.

had a calzone instead. it was very nummy.

When you were but a wee little lieutenant, didn’t your momma tell you if you cross your I’s that they’ll stay that way! :smiley:

Since the visitor that I was expecting to show up never came (long black robe, bony hand carrying a sickle), I took a shower, [del]burned[/del] washed the Sick clothes & went out on the bike for the first (easy) miles of the year. It’s amazing how cold it gets once the sun drops. Came home & did a shot of [del]booze[/del] cough syrup. I was okay on the bike, but it hit me bad once I stopped; go figure. :rolleyes:
What is the difference between Vicks Formula 44D & Jaegermeister? That’s a serious question & not a joke as they taste the same.
Having a an exotic dinner of baby wookie steaks - never had them before but I hear they’re a little chewie.

I will not buy Jaegermeister because if I want sump’n that tastes og awful to drink, Vicks Formula 44D is cheaper and tastes the same.

Dindin is et and the rest of the ironin’ is done. See, I said I’d finish it! :smiley:

That’s how I was today. I went for a three mile walk with no problems but once I got back home it was a different story.

I am an emotional mess falling apart this evening and my friend that I consult when I am in my worst emotional messes is out of the country. Lovely that email she’ll return to in two weeks. :frowning:

I guess I should pull myself together and go to bed.
