The Pumpkin Spice MMP

Happy Birthday Midget!!

Do you have anything planned? I hope you have a wonderful day!

Girl child is off to school day 1. I checked the rules and regs carefully and didn’t see anything about hair color, so I sent her off with her hair still tinted blue into indigo at the tips. Hopefully it won’t be an issue, because she loves it (and it’s really cute on her).

Boy child and I leave shortly to go visit his new classroom (the autism class). He’ll visit today and then start tomorrow.

After that I may take a nap. I’m a night person. I’d much rather stay up until 6 am then get up at 6 am. Oh well. I’ll adjust.

ETA: This is my 3,000th post! I hereby acknowledge this milestone on the Dope. :smiley:

Just had me a yummy lunch, and I’m about to go out to the shop floor yet again to see if they’ve taking up the floor panel. I’m guessing no…

Howdy Y’all! I have accomplished mowage, done a good deed and had N.O.L. The good deed was goin’ to sit with JDD’s father at the eye doctor while JDD went to get some blood work done. I had told him I would do that if needed. Anywho I did and now I am back at da cave. The rest of the day shall be chillage just cause I can.

Happy 3k post Sunny!

Happy birthday, Emily!
May you enjoy all of the cake and ice cream that you want. :slight_smile:

butters, what you’re putting up with is one of the reasons that if it’s under a 16 hour drive, I tend to drive to my destination.

Today is also one of my good friend’s mother’s birthday: 103 years old! There’s a small gathering early this evening with folks coming and going to wish her birthday greetings.

It’s also a sad day. One of my best friends from high school passed this morning. I knew that she wouldn’t live to be an old woman (she had multiple serious health problems since childhood), but I really wasn’t expecting it this soon. :frowning:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY!!!

Hope you have a wonderful day.:):slight_smile:

Counting down the hours to get the horrible temporary teeth out of my mouth and have them replaced with what are promised to be smooth and properly fitting porcelain crowns… Less than eight hours to go!

Nappage had been achieved. I also took some boneless chikin breasts out of da freezer for tomorrow night’s dindin which shall be grilled chikin sallit. Go Me!

**{{{red}}} I’m so sorry for your friend. However, yay for your other friend’s mom’s 103rd birthday!

gotti hope all goes well with the dentist and your shiny new teeth are just right.

It’s fried chicken night at Kevin’s so that’s where we’ll be supping. I intend to have shrimps.

Other than that, nothing exciting. Just glad the work day is over.

Not too shabby Chinese [del]hog trough[/del] buffet has been ingested. It was, well, not too shabby. :smiley:

I like all these spices in principle, but when I ordered a PSL at Starbucks I physically vomited. Too much sugar, too much everything.

Kevin’s was very disappointing tonight. I goofed by ordering fried shrimp when I really wanted steamed shrimp - brain fart on my part, and the fried shrimp wasn’t bad. HOWEVER, the broccoli was YELLOW! ICK!!! I sent it back and asked for the green beans instead. I think they just opened a can of green beans - they were bland and nasty. The fries were fries. meh.

Oh well, I still didn’t have to do dishes. So there’s that.

Watermelon later.

I had lunch with friends, cleaned the kitchen and did a load of laundry. Making spicy honey teriyaki chicken for dinner.

Moooommmm!, you had shrimp on fried chicken night?:dubious:

Fried chicken is Fast Food Hell. :dubious:

I don’t much like fried chicken, but spousal unit does, and this restaurant apparently makes it real good. It’s not fast food.

Fine.
Fried chicken is Family Restaurant Hell.

It’s one of Those Things that can only be properly made at Home.

I will grant that they’re a little much for a daily beverage. What helps is that I cut mine with an extra shot of espresso, so it’s not quite so sticky-sweet. It’s also a once-in-a-great-while thing. I drink normal coffee with sugar-free vanilla syrup, a splash of cream and three Splenda, but a PSL (and I feel silly and pretentious for even thinking about using the abbreviation) is good as a treat.

What do you have against 'Murica? Fried chicken is the primary reason America even exists. Well, and apple pie and freedom and what-not. But mostly fried chicken. :smiley:

You get some cool pumpkins at Knoebels for the Phall Phunfest as well.

That is in the South, Ma’am, and we make it at home, with milk gravy and mashed potatoes.

Same here — sorry I’m so late about it.
