The lost art of Letter Writing - for your MMP consideration

Hah. I do that all the time. Put things in a place where they’re safe - from me, apparently. :dubious:

Must grade many many papers today. Woe is me!!! At least the weather outside sucks (sorry, MBG) so I won’t be tempted to do anything other than stay inside.

**GT ** - have we got someone on deck for tomorrow? Or will it be a crap shoot??

No, I’m not volunteering.

Can I volunteer for the next empty slot, whenever that may be? I really need to write more - I’ve become so lazy about my personal writing, and being responsible for an MMP will force me to get off my ass and produce something.

I volunteered, although I don’t have anything super-special, so if anyone else wants to jump in…

And, on preview, you could have tomorrow, Haze:smiley: Or the 17th is available, if Rebo doesn’t claim it. Or the 24th…

My tummy is feeling funny this afternoon…I’m hoping it’s just a passing oddness…

GT

For those who play, The Celebrity Death Pool 2008 is open for business…

I’ll pass and give the 17th to Haze if she wants it.

I’ve been grocery shopping and packaging up meat today. Not much else. Can you say lazy? I knew you could. :wink:

I couldn’t resist posting this: Good vs. Evil. I don’t know what the cat on the right is plotting, but it’s definitely plotting something.

Oh, garadentraveler, whatever works for you is good for me :slight_smile: Hope your tummy feels better. Sick tummies suck.

ETA: I have a friend coming in on the 15th, so the 17th would probably be not the best time for me … but thanks Rebo. :slight_smile:

Really, I’m just offering to take up the next blank slot. Don’t wanna step on any toes here.

Do you want to do the 17th, then, Rebo? Or should we recruit someone else?

Haze, everything after the 17th is currently available, so pick one… And thanks for the good wishes. I think the lasagne last night was a little to spicy. My tummy has gotten sensitive lately.

I love those kittens, Shadow!

I should be in the garden, but I’m not.

Shadow with any luck I just pmed you back. Anywho, call me and let’s work out what we gonna do. Just think, we’ll make everybody soooooo jealous!

Ok, back to work for me. I’m bein’ my own slave driver today. One of my cohorts has a delayed flight and won’t get in til around nine tonight poor thing. As far as I know the two others will get here by around five.

Now, back to work young man! That report is not going to send itself off you know! Don’t look at me like that! I said get busy and I mean now!

Know what? I scare myself. :eek:

Later Y’all!

We had an early, yummerrific supper - rotissed beef, steamed broccoli, boiled **N.O.T.**s - but no dessert. Mebbe I’ll take my sweetie out for ice cream - is that dumb when it’s in the 30s outside??

I did 4 loads of laundry, and I have at least 3 more to go - maybe tomorrow. I emptied and refilled the dishwasher. But that’s pretty much all I did. I’m so ashamed of being a bum. Or not. No, definitely not.

I don’t think I like having only 2 days for a weekend. It does not please me.

My little self pep talk worked! I got it all done. Just thought y’all would like to know.

That is all. You may now return to our regularly scheduled mayhem.

More divorce ugliness here. We went to my place to see the puppies and somewhere along the way, my mom ended up in tears, I ended up in tears and my dad ended up mad at both me and my mom. I just sent my dad an email explaining what the real things are that bother me, not just the straws that broke the camel’s back from earlier today. I probably should have confronted him in person, but I didn’t and I’ll have to deal with the consequences. TVMan is upstairs napping and I just got out of a long, hot shower which I thought would make me feel better, but didn’t. I think I’ll go wake him up.

Okay, I’m jealous Swampy. You have to come up here now. Just imagine, you could see Mt. Rainier in all it’s snowy glory, well, if the clouds part enough.

Nothing much accomplished; some laundry, some picking up, and early dinner from KFC. Works for me!

I don’t want to go back to work tomorrow. Noooooo! The weekend was far too short.

At least this coming Friday is my RDO. However, I’ll be birthday shopping for my son. He’s turning 15. We’re going to take him to a Japanese steak house for dinner. That’s where he wants to go, so that’s where we shall take him. :slight_smile:

My son gave some good ideas for presents, so I’ll spread them out between his birthday and Christmas, along with the other stuff he wants. It should work out, I hope.

Guess I’ll scan the paper for a bit.

:: hugs for Pie ::

Just found another plagiarized paper. Word for word, from the BBC news website. :rolleyes:

Wow, you’d think cheaters would be slightly brighter in this day and age. With the internet and television, the world is a much smaller place. What a maroon!

Did they not even bother to change the spelling from Brit to American? :eek:

Stoopit college kids.

Everyone go over to my thread re holiday memories and post some. (I am thrilled that it hasn’t been flamed out or sunk like a stone).

sniff

The Cool Kids forgot my birthday. Does this mean I’m not a Cool Kid anymore? I know I haven’t been around much lately…

sniff

In addition to the Richard Petty autographed NASCAR hockey jersey I wanted, Mr. SCL got me a blue topaz ring and pendant and a pair of topaz earrings. And flowers. And had a nummy pot roast dinner waiting on me when I got home from work.

Yes, I had to work on my birthday. My next day off is Friday.

I love ya’lls anyway.

Happy Birthday, SnakesCatLady!

Don’t fell bad, I was 35 before i could remember my parents birthdays without prompting. Maybe that’s why they are leaving everything to the Pomeranian. :wink:

Back from work, I’ve been handed a mess. Details in tomorrow’s MMP.

Hope you feel better,gt!
