Stayed up too late last night, tired today. Very sore in my lower body. Ate the leftover tuna from yesterday. Big up to [Vigo yellow rice](http://www.vigo-alessi.com/itemView.php?id=437). The little 5oz bags make 2 bowls of great rice. I cut the oil called for in half (from 2 to 1 tbsp). I still have to buy some stuff for my [vacation next week](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=458946). It seems like it got here so fast. ---

Finally, I’m going to bed. We have had a sewer specialist (aka plumber) here since 9:30 pm cleaning out our sewer. Two bathtubs backing up, and both toilets leaking around there seals. 'Twas not a pretty sight. $200 later, we’ll be able to shower in the morning. Aagghhh! Did I mention the freakin’ dishwasher broke on Sunday? The part will be here this week, and Mr Rebo will replace it. I’m waiting for the third thing to happen. :eek: Love to all, and to all a good night. ---

> [@Rigs](#): > > Welcome to Motherhood, the Fantasy Land of Surreality–I see you have found Motherhood Hell, aka being sick and not being able to stop in order to be sick. I hated that carousel ride, but other parts of the Motherhood Amusement Park are quite nice. I will say, however, that in the back corner of Motherhood Park there is a hidden reward – when the Young Ones are all grown up, one day not only will you be able to be sick, but they will come take care of you! You cannot find that hidden reward until another 15-20 years have passed, however, so no peeking! 😃 ---

Mornin’ all! Hi **rosie**!!! We miss you too! **jngl** , your holiday sounds great! We don’t get snow here (except maybe once in a freak storm back in about 1960, I think!), so skiing is something that doesn’t present itself as an affordable holiday option! My husband has actually never seen snow, so we will have to do it some day! **MamaTigs** , I’m just looking forward to getting to the “sleeping-in” part of the Park! Okay, I better get myself organised and go to work I s’pose! ETA: **Pie** , where are you??? ---

Snakes lost. Only one home game left before the playoffs. Hockey season is almost over. It will be interesting to have days off where I don’t already have something planned. Damn. I have to go to bed. I need to hit go to the hospital before work tomorrow - a hockey buddy is in with pneumonia. It’s only Tuesday? ---

Morning all - hump day already! I’ve got a busy week again, but on the plus side I lost 1.5lbs at fat club last night. Must have been the slice of cake I had yesterday… **gt** - yes it was my buffday drinks, and lots of fun it was too. Unfortunately a couple of people couldn’t make it due to illness so I’ve been told that I need to do it all over again sometime soon. Yesterday also, I had a call from a guy I used to work for many years ago. He likes to keep in touch, and I like him to do it because he has the deepest plummiest voice. Ooooh…it’d give you shivers if you’re fond of cultured English accents. Anyhoo, he was wondering when I might next be going over his way 'cos he wants to take me out for lunch so I reckon I’ll be doing that just after easter when I’ve got a couple of extra days off work. Yes, where is **Pie?** Pretty soon **Lunch** will be complaining he’s got nobody to play with. ---

I’m here, just \*insanely \*busy at work. See **Rosie** ’s sig for my reaction to events… :o As for \*\*Pie \*\*-- She asked me to please tell \*\*GT \*\*she couldn’t do next week’s OP, as she will likely be away for a while. I have no more information than that (I’ve asked but I don’t think she’s been reading.) I hope she’s OK. Sadly, I’m not sure this is the case ☹ I hope she sorts out whatever she feels she needs sorting soon, and comes back. I **will** continue to try and contact her, but I doubt I will succeed unless she wants me to. I have a (non-Irish) Idea for an OP so I volunteered to pick the coming Monday up. So – unless somebody **really, really** wants the 17[sup]th[/sup], I’ll be doing an only-very-tangentially-Irish St. Pat’s day OP 🙂 Back to the salt mines… I will be (mostly) reading though, so you’re all welcome to mention how much you miss me… 😉 ---

Oh, yes, the baby goats are soooooooo cute. I’m up, although still sleepy. Guess I should get moving. Is it Firday yet?
