Liz has taken refuge in a ficus plant. Either that or she’s attempting to lure Ard to a more discreet location. The drama!
The Liz and Ard stories are making me giggle, by the way. (Not sure how my previous post got posted; I wasn’t quite done.)
Am listening to/watching the 3-hour World Cup opening concert/party from yesterday. Fun combination of music styles. Everything from the Black-Eyed Peas to some actual African performers (mostly Afro Pop).
Hoping to get to go for a walk. It’s actually a nice comfortable temperature outside.
Back later.

Liz has retreated to the ficus. Ard has retreated to the weird vine plant on the other side of the porch after scarfin’ a dindin of fly. Liz had a bead on a fly but I’m not sure if she caught it. Maybe Ard should catch her a fly next time he is in an amorous mood. She may be a little more willin’ if he buys dinner first. 
how many dates have those two had, swampy? You wouldn’t want Liz to develop a slutty rep. would you?
I don’t think I’ve posted at all in this MMP… Anyway, I’m alive, if un-energetic. Been cross-stitching a gift. Just applied for some jobs. Cross your fingers! One of them is my dream job! And much better than the answering phones job my parents are trying to get me to apply for. Bleh.
gt, if the hiring manager is who I think it is, he knows me. We’ve known each other for years. I knew him back when he was a baby Captain and now he’s a Lieutenant Colonel. I honestly don’t think I’m fully qualified, but it doesn’t hurt to try. The reality is that they’ll never find anyone who has all the qualifications anyway. I’m pretty sure they already have someone they want to hire, but they have to do it this way and make sure who they want comes out on the list.
I’ll just let it play out. Whatever happens, happens.
Sigh, my poor dog still won’t eat. Well, he’ll eat grass, that’s it. I bought him frozen dog treats, he sniffed and took the tiniest little lick and then turned his head away. I broke it up into little bits and tried rubbing some along the gumline toward the back of the mouth. He really didn’t want any, so I gave up after awhile. He’s going back to the vet tomorrow.
I miss his doggie kisses. I haven’t had one since he got sick. 
No reptile porn here. The amorous duo’s Carolina cousin has a blue tail, make of that what you will.
We went to Red Hot & blue for supper. They no longer offer sweet potato fries, so I was not happy. Oh well. Then we ran into Sports Authority and *FCD *got a new pair of New Balance walking shoes. Now we’re home.
Ziva was just lovin’ all over me, so I’m covered in hair. She won’t get affectionate when I’m doing nothing, but in the middle of a timed game, there she is! Stoopit cat.
Taters, so sorry your pup isn’t getting better.
I’m paying bills like a motherf*ck! Bleh.
I also watched the Opening Celebration for World Cup. I’ve got me some soccer fever over here. Will watch the USA/UK game tomorrow.
It’s too hot to do anything else. I came home after spending the day in an 85 degree library. I came home and mowed half the back lawn. I am now finally clean and cool (er)–I started the AC when I got home and it’s taking a while to cool the house down.
I drove (like a fool) today, and was delayed by the Blackhawk parade and then on the way home, the Blues Fest traffic (and the Crosstown Classic let out just as I left…)
I live near one of the greatest cities in the world, but man I hate the damned traffic.
In other news, I seem to have lost my Iceland charm. It’s sterling and I wore it on a silver chain. It’s the same chain I use for other charms and I remember taking the Iceland one off maybe a week ago to wear the chain with something else. Thing is, I always put the charms in the same place (my jewelry box–how about that?) and it’s not there. I have emptied the box. I am afraid the charm may have fallen on the floor and then I vacuumed it up.
No dinner–not hungry and too hot. Kinda bored, really. Don’t want to watch TV, but if I read, I’ll fall asleep (too early).
Whine, whine, whine…
I’ve got a big ole zit just inside my nose and it’s very annoying. I’m an old lady, why am I still getting zits!
It is just past 9am here and so far I have fed the cats, cleaned the kitchen worktops, tiles, splashbacks, sink and drainer, cleaned the bathroom windows, sink and mirror, and I have one very dirty cushion cover in the wash. I still have some ironing to do, but I managed to achieve all the aforementioned jobs without even the benefit of a cup of tea.
I have now rectified that situation, have a cuppa and decided to come and tell you all about it because I know how interested you are. Apparently there’s some footie match on tonight that needs to be avoided. I’d suggest going to the pub but they’re likely to be showing it, and 'im indoors is still on his faddy diet so he’s not allowed any alcohol.
Later I will be putting plants in pots and borders. Are you envious yet?
(((((Taters)))))
More hugs for Taters, of course.
Hope your charm turns up, rigs. I had that happen with an earring and was able to find it again about a year later. I think it was wedged under the edge of a bookcase.
::Waves at STG::
Up, getting ready for a day outdoors, at a lovely garden fair sorta near Sticky’s neighborhood and then a place that specializes in hostas. I’m hoping the showers are so scattered that they miss us…
Off to get ready…

It’s a plot, you know. Taz gets the 4AM Shift of Torment, and Scruffy has the Slightly-Before-6AM Shift of Barking. Sleep in? It is to laugh. ha.ha.
**FCD **just left for the boat. He’s going sailing with a coworker. Apparently he’s schmoozing this guy to get on his project. It does sound like a cool project. And while he’s gone, I’m going to make a pair of pants for a coworker as a gag. I’ve never made a pair of men’s pants - here’s hoping it’s not that tough to do a fly. I’ve also got 2 or 3 more loads of laundry to do, and I should make a run to WalMart, altho I could do that tomorrow. I also need to pay some bills.
But for now, I’m killing time. Caffeinating. Thinking about breakfast. Good times…
Ouch.
I’m very sore from my marathon jewelry making and displaying event that has been going on all week. And it isn’t going to end anytime soon. I just saw that another local farmer’s market cashed my check so I know what I’ll be doing on Tuesday afternoons! This is hopefully a good thing.
Have fun, GT! And don’t forget to think of me if you happen to be driving along Route 30, most of which is the Lincoln Highway through Wooster. Also, if you’re very, very hungry you should stop and have lunch at The Amish Door. It’s a little bit expensive, but very good! Oh yes, you should also stop at the Rubbermaid factory store in downtown Woooooooster, too. And now that I’ve planned your itinerary, I want to go too. :p:D
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienated. It’s the day of the big doin’s in the heat of south Jawja. I have agreed to play DD for four others goin’ to the weddin’. First, I actually do know where the place is and second, when it’s hawt like it’s gonna be and I’m out and about, I really don’t like to drink so I am a logical choice.
{{{Taters}}}
I foresee some pool time prior to the big doin’s today. Just cause.
I slept in. 'til 9:00am, when the landscapers arrived. One team does 5 houses on the block so they’re very noisy for a very long time. I might have slept longer if not for the constant barrages of whiskers and paws in my face accompanied by little meows. How can on cat act like five? The way she goes on in the morning, you’d think I’ve never fed her before.
Had a good one last night. Took Vorlon Jr. to get our hair cut–I started after him and was done 10 minutes before him–not much left to cut. He had a HUGE pile of blond curly hair on the floor, and every hair stylist in the place looking over the shop owners shoulder at his hair–the place ground to a halt.
After this, we went to dinner. I was seated next to him, Lady Vorlon on the other side. I turned to say something, and almost fell out of the booth. Seconds later, LV saw it and almost did the same.
He looked like the Wolverine.
Yes, shaving lessons were had upon return home.
He is 14. He was NOT AMUSED.
I slept in till 7:00, then headed home to take care of the critters. Now it’s back to house sittin’, drinkin’, and pool based sloth. Friend also has a 50" TV if I need a World Cup fix.
rosie, at least it isn’t a 46lbs Jack Russell collapsing on top of you from malnutrition(I haven’t eaten in hours, Dad!)
swampy, we might need a DD later, can you be in Raleigh right after the wedding?

I’ve been up since around 6:30 and am on my second cup of coffee. I’ll have to finish the coffee and hop in the shower and head off to the vet with the dog.
The sun is actually shining today. After the vet, yard work. Tonight’s plans call for dinner and a movie. We haven’t actually picked out a movie yet. I guess we’ll play it by ear.
