Awesome! sending doggio a load of dark stuff
You realize I could still kill you for working on that in front of me for all that time and not letting me know that it was for me, right MamaTigs? Especially after all the drooling over it I was doing while honestly not knowing? Someday I will get you for that!
I resolve to dance more.
Of course. Why do you think I did it? I mean, torturing one’s children is the whole point of having them, isn’t it? After the years of torture you subjected me to, it seemed only fair.
Gorgeous knitted stuff!
I went to the UPS Store to pick up our new monitor. Between the rental car with a key to open the trunk, and dogs in the car, and a big bulky box that the new monitor didn’t fit in - I managed to leave my purse there. :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: It was only for 10 minutes but - OMG! :eek: Nobody offered to help me, either, the bastages.
So - got the new monitor set up - it’s awesome!
I made a chicken pot pie for dinner. It was awesome, too! But I sliced my finger so bad it took two sets of bandages to stop the bleeding. I tried not to bleed all over the food. 
Y’all should see the typos I’m making… 
Stupid me - I was wiping off the knife blade and was not careful at all.
I called about getting a new rental, but I blew it off. I would have to go in early tomorrow, and I really don’t have to go anywhere this week, except haircuts for Ernie and me on Wednesday. And a gyno appointment Friday at 10 am. They are going to counsel me as to the treatment for my osteoporosis! I’m not that old, dammit. 
I should be asleep, but we just had a 40-minute power outage for no reason at all, and now I’m wide awake after turning out all the lights and resetting all the clocks.
See ya!
Why am I still awake, dammit? I was so tired today and now I’m wide awake. Arrgh! I have to get up early and work tomorrow. My body clock better straighten out or I’m gonna kick its ass.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’ here. Also feelin’ a little ick. I’m really hopin’ I am not comin’ down with teh sick. I feel a little achy which has me worried. That seems to be one of the early symptoms of the version of teh sick that’s been goin’ on around here.
Oh well, teh sick or not I gotta work. Time for more caffiene and some brekkies me thinks.
Later Y’all!
it’s already broken - see my OP
eta: Hi MBG, {{{:)}}} how the heck are you?
Awake. Donwanna.
That is all.
Also awake, having dozed on and off for a couple of hours before crawling out of bed. Critters have been tended to and dishwasher is washing dishes. I really should have run it last night. That could become a resolution, I suppose - ensure dishes are washed before bedtime??
**FCD **needs to run to Lowe’s for some bolts or something, so he’s taking me to breakfast… once he’s out of bed… and we shower… and dress for going in public… details, details.
I’ve come up with a plan for finishing the disaster that is the non-apartment basement. I shall mount an attack after breakfast, and do my laundry at the same time. The kids actually listened to me and set aside a bunch of empty boxes, so I have the means to sort and remove or store all that crap that’s strewn about down there. I may actually get it done today.
Think I’ll mosey back to the shower and get my sweetie to get his buns in gear. I want breakfast. I’s hongry!!!
G’morning all, up and half-caffeinated here. LOL I’ve only had about a half cup of coffee, that is. I think this morning at work I’ll have some tea along with my brekkies.
OMG, Shadow, those Lady Eleanor shawls are gorgeous! I especially love the one you’re currently working on, all those vibrant colors, so beautiful.
Thinking of SpecialOne. and was glad to hear from him - such a tragic situation in Gaza. Prayers for all there. Good thoughts sent to Picu, too. And prayers and hugs for anyone else who is in need. CutiePie, hope things are going okay for you; you’re in my thoughts too!
Gotta get something to eat. Rebo, be careful with those knives today!
First day of morning intensive classes. I’ve decided there is really no way to make grammar fun. I say this as a person who loves grammar - either you already like it or you don’t. I’m just pleased none of my kids fell asleep in class.
Reunion scheduled for Saturday. There are a handful of people I do want to see, but for the most part I feel like reunions are weird affairs. Mostly I’m just surprised at how little people have changed.
Blurf. That is all.
Mornin’
FCM, my Grandma loves knitted dish towels. I made some for her for Christmas. Where did you get the patterns?
Shadow, that shawl is beeyootiful! How hard is the pattern? I am also quite jealous of your yarn stash.
Poor Doggio, that is way too much work.
More later. Probably.
Good morning!
Haze, I like grammar. I have no idea how to teach it and make it fun, but I like it! Maybe you could show them youtube videos of Schoolhouse Rock!
The aminals let me sleep until almost 7:00! Yay! Today is Take the Tree Down Day. I have decreed it. The only other thing will be making sketties and meatballs, plus some homemade foccacia bread I found a recipe for. I’m not much of a baker, but this recipe calls for yeast and letting it rise! We shall see.
I need one more cup of coffee, and then I shall have some leftover chicken pot pie for breakfast. Yum!
Blurf. Mornin’.
Gorgeous knittin’s, Shadow. Your Lady Eleanor looks every so cozy - I just want to cuddle up with it and a mug of tea. Also, your stash is eminently covetable. Want.
Congrats on not lulling your students to sleep, Haze. I think you’re right… that’s probably the highest you can aim for when it comes to grammar.
Glad your fingers are OK, Rebo. Chicken pot pie tastes better without human blood, tho, just so you know for next time.
On that note, the microwave is beeping to let me know my Chinese food is now at an edible temperature. Mmmmmm… breakfast.
I just blasted someone on another forum before I had even finished my first cup of coffee and now I’m going to be stuck in a dumb argument with a braindead twit for the rest of the day unless I muster up some self-control and stop responding to her. I wish I could remember never to post anything bitchy until I’m caffeinated and can decide if I want to get into a quicksand argument or not.
And the cat threw up : (
Morning all and Happy New Years Eve Eve.
Love the shawl! I am also envious of the neat and tidy stash bins.
Yo, mbg! How’s it going?
My laundry gets done every Sunday, whether it needs it or not.
This is going to be a long day. Department head is out, Team Leader is out. Cow-orker is out this afternoon. Yawn…
Oh, well, at least I got some rest last night by sleeping in the guest room. Mr. Anachi is still sick but he got more rest, too. I made him sleep with the goggies, though. Tee, hee.
I’ve been worrying about nooney, too. Good vibes headed his way.
Tupug
I’m back but I haven’t caught up yet. So hugs, yays, boos, etc. as needed.
Christmas was good. Travel was fine with only minimal weather-related delays. We missed the worst of it. If anyone here got stuck at an airport somewhere, I’m really sorry!
I still have the @#$&* cold that I’ve been fighting for 3 weeks and this morning I broke out in hives. So I’m full of post-Christmas cheer right about now.
KT’s off for 2 weeks because his company’s doing a full shut down to try to save money. But despite that, they’re still going to lay off almost 25% of their workforce in 2 weeks. So we’re holding our breath on that front.
Hmm… given the above, I think my resolution should be to be more optimistic.
Back later after I try to catch up!
Gnrflrmph… G’mawnin’ alla y’alls…
points and laughs at Karyn [Nelson Muntz] HA-ha! [/NM] Yup, never get into a flame war before you’ve had coffee–that’s Intartoobz Bad Move #14! Got a link to the incipient train wreck so we can all watch and kibitz? 
Tigs, I couldn’t agree more–and the more hell the kid put you through growing up the more vengeance it entitles you to exact throughout the rest of their lives. My poor daughter will never get a rest, since she was the wild one, but her brother gets his fair share too!
I’m going up to get my side mirror replaced today and the headlights as well, I think I’m gonna act all cute and see if he can pop the ball joints and upper control arm bushings in at the same time so I don’t wobble when I brake. That would be teh kewl, and I could finally get the alignment set right so I don’t totally trash my tires. My little car is still getting the doors put on right, apparently it needs some welding to get it all to work properly or summat. I don’t mind driving the van, especially now that propane has dropped to a reasonable level, but with the weather as it is I definitely prefer not to have a wambly front end.
Dang, Shadow, that pattern looks fiendishly hard to knit, is it? Is verra purty though, fershure…
Bear is convinced that our entire reason for existence is to throw things for him to run fetch. It must be nice to have such a simple POV–where do I sign up?
When you find out, let me know. I keep asking for childhood innocence and youthful idealism for Christmas and birthday, and nobody seems to have any. :mad:
