I always thought a bonbon was what you got in a Whitman’s Sampler.
I’m having a gloomy night for some reason. I’m trying not to angst over my story. It’s a holiday weekend and it probably won’t be until Monday that anyone says anything on it. That and I’m ashamed that it’sbarely-modified fanfiction. Shhhh.
Oh well back to unravelling everything I’ve crocheted over the last couple of weeks. Hookin’ hasn’t been working out the way it should lately. You may now <snerk>.
RT is home! And he bought me a wonderful present that I’ve been lusting after since forever… These! (In purple, of course) :D:D
We had a lovely lunch at Carraba’s and then we came home and I made him do today’s C25K walk/run with me.
Oh, and I almost forgot, I got 50 lbs of silverware, too!
And I got my finger smashed underneath an antique refrigerator. I’m rambling, aren’t I? Maybe it’s that 10 Pound box of bonbons that was meant for swampy but that I ate by mistake. :smack:
Up because I can’t sleep no more… **FCD **let Higgs out early to water the yard, then they both came back to the bedroom - that’s pretty much why I’m awake. I tried to fall back to sleep, but it was apparent that it was a lost cause. So the dog has been fed and I’m going to read the funnies while my sweetie snoozes some more.
We’ll be headed up to my mom’s around 11. She’s got a big dinner planned and around 16 people will be over. We’re borrowing her van and leaving her the car, so while **FCD **is in FL, I’ll have to drive our truck. Rah. Good thing I don’t plan to go anywhere.
Happy Easter, all! Or, Happy Eve of Cheap Chocolate!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN Actually I’ve been up for a while cause I got up to put the ham on to bake at five a.m. It shall be done at eight so’s it can rest whilst I purtify for deheathenization then get sliced. After deheathenization I shall prepare asparagus, hollandaise sauce, carrots, and rolls. Strawberries have already been sliced and sugared. Oh, I shall also be makin’ real whipped cream. Oh and not to worry, the traditional Bloody Mary’s shall also be had. I made the mix yestiddy. ‘Tis 54 Amurrkin out and cloudy but we’re promised low 70s and some sunshine for the day. Then, a warm up into the high 70s to mid 80s durin’ the week.
For those amongst us who celebrate… HAPPY EASTER!!!
Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. Mayhaps I shall feed it bacon which it hasn’t had in a week.
Hammage has been acheived! ‘Tis "restin’" (bakin’ tires ham out apparently) at the moment. OYKW shall slice it up cause it gives him great pleasure to use an electric knife so I shall let him knock himself out.
I forgot to mention I made deviled aigs. It’s Easter so I figured there should be a tribute to aigs. Plus, deviled aigs!
It’s been a snurfly morning here - I’m guessing allergies because I don’t feel sick, but my nose is working overtime in the drip mode.
**FCD **is futzing in his workshop. Now that the bike is done, I think he’s antsy for another project. Altho this week, his project will be dealing with parentals who both will have hospital stuff done. He’ll leave in the dark of the morning tomorrow, and my unsupervised week will begin!
I almost considered wearing a dress today :eek: but I wised up. Khakis and a twinset, I think. I’ve still got about 2 hours to decide - can’t rush into these things!
I thought about making deviled eggs, but my weird family doesn’t like them all that much, unlike the inlaw side of the family, where they’re inhaled! Besides, my mom is planning so much food, she didn’t want me to bring anything. So it’s a really lazy day for me. Yay!
flytrap, that is beyond disturbing - it’s just creepy! People can believe whatever they want to believe and look for symbolism as they wish, but I don’t think Easter is about melting marshmallows… Whatever.
It’s 66° in the house, but I’m freezing! I’m thinking some hot tea might help. Spring might help even more. Stoopit cold!
I didn’t think that rolls were supposed to, in the words of the great Eddie Izzard, slowly collapse like a flan in a cupboard.
I’m going to go up the mountain to visit the native prickly pear. Hopefully there will be no people watching videos from Foreign Lands up there this week.
I’m up and caffeinating. We have to be up at my daughter and son-in-law’s place by 11:00 this morning, so I shall have to shower and make myself presentable very soon. We’re going to have brunch together. I don’t know if they’re preparing it, or if we’re going out. All I know is we’ll have to leave around 10:00 to get there on time.
I’m looking forward to seeing my daughter, I haven’t seen her in about a month. We “talk” often via Facebook or text, but she’s busy and I’m busy, so we don’t get to spend as much time together as I would like.
Happy Sunday!
Happy Easter to those who celebrate.
It’s a bit nippy in here, I slept with my window open.
Mostly today I will irk. No holiday bonus but there are several prizes being awarded to encourage us to irk extra hours. I don’t care about prizes, I want cash. Then I can buy what I want.
I’ve been up and down the mountain and I got my Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs. There weren’t any candy-coated Cadbury eggs in the discount bin. But Reese’s Eggs! All mine! No sharing!
Easter Feastage (is too a word!) has ensued. A good time was had by all. Plus, almost no leftovers, so yay! Kitchen is clean and dishwasher is washin’ away. All is quiet in da cave which makes da bear happy.
OYKW left to go do laundry but apparently decided to see if’n he could score some cheap chawklit as well. He called me to say he had some Cadbury Aigs, Reese’s Peanut Butter Aigs (we gots 'em too Spaz!), some chawklit bunnies, and jelly beans all from Rite Aid. He was extremely happy. I am in love with a five year old boy trapped inside a 59 year old man’s body.
I went to a concert today! A big concert with many, many orchestras, some of them playing at the same time, even. Including my old orchestra. Good times.
I also ate lots of chocolate today.
I didn’t get many productive things done today, but what the hey. It’s a holiday.
