\*\*Happy birthday, Nava! \*\*

Nothing very exciting going on here today, still got grrrs! at home but I’m looking forward to the prospect of 'im indoors going away for a week and leaving me in peace.

I am feeling the need for chocolate, very strange since I don’t much like the stuff. Oh well, perhaps blueberries will be an acceptable substitute.

Thanks Y’all! I am feelin’ better. Whatever was upsettin’ tummy seems to have gone away. Then again, I did sleep for almost ten hours, so maybe I slept off whatever.

**Doggio** is all this thief firin’ of late the result of some kind of crack down? Are people bein’ caught in the act on security cameras? Just nosy here.

Ok, gotta go work purtify. Also, at some point I need to run by Sam’s Club and pick up a bunch of briskets for Saturday’s cook-a-thon. They have 'em ready for me. I like that I can call there and say I need x amount and they save me x amount.

Later Y’all!

Happy Birthday Nava!!!

I’m off to work here in a bit. I acutally work 8-4 today. I’ve been sleeping like crap lately. I must get more sleep. It’s not from lack of trying either. I’ve even gone to bed early and sleep, but I don’t sleep good. _sigh_

Then I have to figure out what to do for 24 hours when we will not be in the bathroom since they are laying tile and we have to stay off of there for 24 hours. I vote hotel, but I don’t think hubby is going for that.

_Happy Birthday_ **Nava**!!

A few lines you can use:

“I’m closer to 30 than I am to 20.”

“I’m 25, with 15 years of experience.”

“I’m 28. Yes, as a matter of fact I **do** count in Hex.”

Anyway, welcome to the world of decrepitude. Life may begin at 40, but we all know life ain’t it’s all knocked out to be…

There a young woman there who looks just like **Fiver** , only a little less pretty than from the most recent photos I can remember.

Yes, you can all make fun of me now for browsing a board devoted to makeup 😛 .

I’m just curious actually, I’ve been browsing all the sites you guys share.

Mornin’…I woke up this morning, took a shower and decided to lay back down for a little while. So, of course, I got up late and was late to work. That’s not really a big deal, but I want to go back to bed!!

Thanks for reminding me about Dave’s ESL Cafe, **Haze**. I need to add that to my favorites.

I’m listening to the NPR station out of Charlotte online and they’re in the middle of Pledge Week. Yet I haven’t turned it off yet. Time to listen to an olde-thymey radio mystery instead.
