The Games People Play - First MMP of 2008!

Li-Li - do you have someone’s (preferrably an MMPer’s) phone number whom **Mr Lisslar ** can call with the good news?

Li-Li might have my phone number, from when I visited Toronto.

I had an amusing moment when signing in for class today - there was a new receptionist, and when she saw me flipping through the sign-in sheets she smiled and said, “Oh, those are for the teachers.” I smiled back, nodded, found my name, signed in, and said, “Yes, they are.”

I’m going to bet on TNC arriving around midnight tonight.

Okay, where is everybody? I’m actually home and able to post and no one is around. What’s up with that?

I’m here. Just don’t have anything to share, unless you’re interested in what I just scooped out of the cat box.

Didn’t think so.

:smiley:

I say 01/09 at 8:35 P.M.

Howdy Y’all! Just a quick post before returnin’ to work. I’m goin’ to meet ol’ y’all know who for a quick supper then I go back to work for a while this evenin’. I’m so dedicated!

Drive by. Work’s been insane today.

TNC pool: 1/13 at 10:38 a.m. EST.

Must go to Des Plaines AGAIN today. Ooof. I think working there is going to be very good incentive to get a driver’s license.

Would anyone like to take a stab at exactly who forgot that it is our anniversary today?

Yep, that’s right… TVMan.

The first hour or so after my arrival was very tense. But we have worked it out and he doesn’t know it yet, but he’ll be taking me out somewhere for a faaaabulous dinner.

: drives by, just checking in :

Oooh, the pool is still on, right?!

Okay, here’s my TNC pick: 01/10/08, 10:08 AM (hah, that’s the time my daughter was born!)

And a very happy though belated birthday to ACBG and to KaiwikSon!!! :slight_smile:

Firday is -almost- here, folks. :slight_smile:

ETA: 1/10 is my grandfather’s birthday :slight_smile:

Well, dogbutler is now out of the pool. Go dry off :wink: :smiley:

::Note to self: Do not drive in the Chicago area during the next 6-12 months::
:stuck_out_tongue:

Pie, it’s when men remember their anniversaries that you should start getting worried…

Doggio, I think your out of time in the TNC pool!

Rigs, how’s your hair doing? And I agree with Lili, we want pictures of the new clothes. Before and after. You know, like with eyeglasses? One picture with and one picture without? :smiley:

And with that comment I am off to sleep… have a great evening, y’all!

G’night** Noonie**!

The comment Special 1 made about men remembering anniversaries just reminded me of something.

Mr. Taters has been talking about hosting a 99 party sometime this month. I’ve been very noncommittal about it, because frankly, I get sick of my stuff getting messed up by my nephew. Also, his LOUDNESS just starts getting on my last nerve. He’s not an ass, he’s just LOUD and I can’t handle it for long periods.

Anyhoo…the other night my husband tells me we’re having a 99 party on the 26th of this month. My response to him was, “So, you’re screwing me over on our anniversary now too?!”. He is the WORST with dates. He just can’t keep them straight to save his life. You see, last May, he decided we were having a 99 party, ON MY BIRTHDAY. By that time, he had already invited everybody, so I didn’t feel like he could retract the invite. So, I spent the day cleaning house and prepping appetizers for the party. Some birthday!

This time, I don’t care if has extended invites. He can retract them. I’m not doing it again on a “special” day. Just not happening. Why yes, I AM being stubborn. I’m the one who does all the heavy cleaning and food prep, and I’m NOT using my anniversary to do it.

I think we’ll host one the weekend after this upcoming weekend. I’m not totally heartless, I just don’t feel like I should have to give up my anniversary for it.

::taps microphone::

Is this thing on?

Anyway, just another drive by unfortunately. Work is for chumps and today I have been crowned King Chump. Mamas, do not let your babies grow up to be CSR. Make them disciplined enough not to flake out on college so that they can get real positions, because it’s hellafied trying to do it as an adult with rent and car to pay for.

</whine>

May you all find full cups and a hot body to go home to tonight!

Well, I guess what irks me the most is that I’ve taken norinew’s advice to heart and I’ve been prepping him for this!

And yes, he admitted,* he knew * that it was coming up. He just didn’t know that it was today. :rolleyes:

Drive-by on way to laundry.

Back later. Hugs.

**Enfant ** - bummer about your work. Are you looking for something better? Good luck, either way.

We had shrimps and cuke salad for supper - easy-peasy, no cook, hardly any clean. And, of course, while I was out running errands, I neglected to pick up any dessert. What the heck was I thinking???
