I think I might be flammable. I ate four pieces of pizza loaded down with pepperoni and jalapenos at lunch. ACBG says if I belch at work one whole side of town will go up in flames. I bet I could take out the whole county with one real good fart. 
Ok, time to get dressed for work. Gray tshirt and blue jeans today. We have an after work meeting tonight. Joy.
Later Y’all!
How many mainframe programmers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None. That’s a hardware problem!
How many Windows developers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None. Darkness is an undocumented feature.
How many helpdesk agents does it take to screw in a light bulb?
I understand you are sitting in the dark? First, I’d like for you to please try rebooting the lamp?
Old proverb: Beware of programmers that carry screwdrivers.
Mumpettes gone wild IV?
I missed the first three? Boo.
Well have to make 3 more to make up for it.
Kids off, but flight delayed. I am packing and trying to finish my paper. Laundry in dryer and errands run.
Nice, quiet house. I like the nice quiet house…
Nap soon.
Hey! I resemble that remark!!
ana, Boo is adorable. I want him. So cute.
Back from shopping. I have:
1 new dress
2 new little eyelet skirts (with pockets! Pockets!)
1 pair of maternity jeans
I have pants! Pants I can wear! It’s so exciting! They’re super comfy. I might keep wearing maternity jeans forever- the nice, stretchy lycra panel waistband is so forgiving and wonderful. It doesn’t cut it, and it doesn’t pull down awkwardly in the back.
I survived another day at work, barely. I had to go to a training session at noon, and I know I dozed off - either that or Al added some slides before he posted the presentation, because I swear I don’t recall seing 6 or 7 of them.
I’ve got a steak marinating for supper, and I’m trying to decide if I want to play in clay today or not. It’s not the claying that is making the decision difficult - it’s the clean-up. I suppose I could start decorating the one monster. Maybe I’ll do that later.
Daughter’s best friend since kindergarten finally passed her running test - she’s in Navy boot camp and she was dangerously close to being booted out because she messed up her knee or her foot and she wasn’t able to complete the run in time. But she’s done it, so she can finish boot camp and go on to whatever other training and duties await her. So YAY CASEY!!!
I’m giving serious thought to bugging out at noon tomorrow. Except I think I have a meeting in the afternoon. I know I have to write a status report which will say “I attended 2 meetings but I didn’t do anything on this project.” Mostly because I haven’t been assigned anything specific for this project. I intend to ask tomorrow. Hope I stay awake.
rosie, your pic wouldn’t load for me. I’m starting to worry about my computer - this week it’s been wonky about loading certain sites. It better not die - I’ll cry!!!
Yay for comfy pants!
I’m taking the afternoon off, which is seeming awfully short, what with wanting to nap and all. Apparently I’m tired.
Oooh, I’d seen that video, Bobbio, and it made me giggle. Just forgot to say anything about it. And nice pic, rosie.
I’m sleepy, so I might nap a bit more. (I was almost asleep and the phone rang :rolleyes: ) Need to do laundry. And get some shredding done. Woo hoo.
At least I’m not at work…?

Welbywife and I finally managed to sort through the 1000 pictures I took when I was fishing. The ones worth looking at are here.
If the link doesn’t work it’s your fault and not mine.
Edit: I’m the good looking guy.
I’m so behind with this thread it ain’t funny. I’m on about 6:00 am yesterday… Every time I look up there’s a new page.
Hi gang! I miss ya!
: smooches :
Hey, someone peek in the window, see if rigsy is asleep yet…
**Hey rigs!!! How ya doin’??? Wake up and come out and play!!!

:: excessive, loud banging on the outside of the house ::
Okay, time to log off for the week. Gotta go to that funeral tomorrow. And the FIL’s death notice finally hit the paper this morning - if anyone is looking for those monkeys on typewriters that are supposed to be writing Shakespeare, they’ve cranked out one obit.
Have a good weekend, y’all. And don’t wake up rigs. You know how crabby she gets without enough sleep.
Tofino is beautiful. Looks like you had a good time.
Someone kill me before work. I don’t want to go to work. Loud Latin disco for four hours. Kill me now.
Naw, I’m sure this is the one he meant, LiLi. 
Stop yelling! i took about a 2-hour nap. And you woke me up!!!
So, I guess I’ll have to do laundry and go find some groceries.

Me, I like the walrus one–or is that a seal?
MBG-a thousand curses on your house. I couldn’t sleep. I was all wound up about the kids’ plane being delayed and would I have to go to Midway to go get them (if the flight were canceled). But I did finish my project.
Guess what? The*&^%%#%^& instructors have not opened a link (portal?) for us to upload our projects. I hate this class…So, I posted a question as to where we could send these projects and if it’s not in by this weekend–too bad.
Am almost all packed. Was going to go see Hairspray again, but too much to do.
Feel very antsy and tense. Need body massage. Need sleep.
Do NOT need my Dad sending me directions (I had asked what the highway number was, just as a refresher)* that take me all the way from the airport to the garage door *(yes, he included driving up the driveway. No, he was not being cute or funny). Do I really want to go?
Work at 0530. But I have found out–it’s not 0530. It’s 0520. Augh…
HEY! go wake up gt!
It’s always something, isn’t it? My kid just called to tell me there’s a hold on her records over a $400-something debt from summer school. She doesn’t know what it’s about, so I suggested she mosey herself over to the school tomorrow and ask. I’ll send the money if she owes it, but I don’t just send money for giggles.
Damned higher education! 
Dinner was yummerrific - chuck steak and boiled N.O.T. and broccoli and gravy with onions and mushrooms. Happy tummies abound. Ice cream later. Life is good. It would be better if I didn’t hafta go to work tomorrow. Oh well.
I found a three-panel louvered door for $10! Of course now I have to strip it and sand it and repaint it, but I can do all of that. I’m very excited; it’s going to make a great jewelry display! I just have to decide if I want to paint it white or black…
I have been online for school most of the afternoon. The site was starting to bug me–they have their calendar marked July 26, Thursday. I tried to fix it–couldn’t. I got to the point where I was rolling my eyes at the thing, thinking to myself, these people are just too much. I thought this for the past 3 hours.
<pause>
Well, look at that. Who knew? Today IS Thursday, July 26.
I’m going to lay down now. I sure wish I drank…
See, it’s time like this that your fellow Mumpers come through for you. Right after dinner, the Child and I (she will be my DD) are going to meet my buddy and his son at the Roundhouse. His son is in town, and I haven’t seen the kid in about 16 years.
So that drink? I have this one for you.
