I got that far and my brain headed off in a totally different direction. Which reminds me of a time down Morgantown when I had my Coaster Zombie jacket on and someone remarked “I didn’t know there was a national organization for furniture protectors”.
We spent Monday at Kennywood sweltering but having fun with it. Any Mumpers around Indianapolis, be warned we head your direction Thursday. Bean Blossom first and then up to Tipton.
There’s a British food section at the Cameron Village Harris Teeter, they have them(or something almost like them). I was gonna buy Jammy Dodgers for the premier, but they sold out(Curse you fellow Whovians! ;))
Virtual back scratches for anyone who wants or needs one.
I got the kitchen counter cleared yesterday. All of it. Considering that everyone in the house uses it as “temporary” storage space, and considering that we’ve been doing repair work on interior walls, it was an accomplishment. I probably should have taken a picture. It may never happen again.
This does not mean that everything that was on the counter now has a home elsewhere. There is a small stack by the basement door, hinting to passers-by that they should be relocated downward. And there’s a plastic bin of stuff that should go into the garage sitting by the garage door. At least the garage door is out in the back yard. I can’t see the bin from the kitchen counter.
Of course now that I have all of the plaster dust off of everything, someone will start sanding again. The good side of that is that will mean that the bathroom is getting closer to complete. It will be good to have the medicine cabinet back up on the wall.
Oh, you can tell Mooms that I’m using a CD case, so the desk is safe.
Happy Tuesday all!
Sari, glad to hear that you’re home and doing better - yikes about being hospitalized again, though you needed to have those transfusions. Sending healing thoughts your way.
I am really enjoying FCM’s email missives, she does a great job describing stuff, plus I’ve been looking at the Princess Line and wondering about a cruise now (looking at the California ones and the round trip ones to/from Hawaii … those things are expensive!)
New Mexico is hot and dry again, but there is a chance of rain again on Thursday and into the weekend. It’s okay, though, cause a lot of the state is nearly caught up on their rainfall. The drought has hit hard here, as in much of the West, but there are areas that are out of the drought … well, at least for the time being.
I can’t think of much I’ve re-purposed, other than using old toothbrushes to clean jewelry with. LOL Oh gosh, I just recalled something from childhood! This is awful too, but I can remember collecting clam shells at the beach, and then painting them and making them into ashtrays!!
Hope everyone has a good day today. 
I know I have re-purposed things but I can’t think of any now.
Thank you Herbs I am happy to be home.
I’m enjoying FCMs emails as well. I’m glad she’s having such a good time.
I’ve got one load of laundry in the washer, probably soon to go to the dryer and the next load to wash. I think I may have as many as 5 loads today. Poor Sah-son, I’m getting him to carry everything down. Just getting all this dirty laundry out of my room is a big improvement in the way it looks.
I feel like I need to start packing but I have no idea what to pack yet.
I also would like to go out one day and measure for curtains.
I’m thinking about starting with Redi-Shade http://redishade.com/store/index.html for temporary privacy until I get in there and decide what I want to do. No sense in getting in there and drilling holes and mounting rods until I’m sure of what style/color drapes I want.
Rosie, did you happen to watch “School Reunion” just before you went to bed? Two of the people in your dream were in that episode.
Happy Tewsday!
It’s back to irk for me! Unfortunately, there isn’t much to do. 
Sean - LOL. No, but I did think about it this morning.
Okay - Friday
We drove from The Guylindt to (the real) Albany. Got there in time for a lovely dinner. I played a lot of games, had some lovely adult beverages and crashed.
Saturday
Started the day off with a BIG coffee. Played more games, including some new-to-me ones which are now on my wishlist.
I decorated a hat (look on facebook) for Sunday’s “Glow” party. Played more games. Jazzied down to the riverbank and took some pictures. Lovely dinner. More games and more lovely adult beverages. and sleep. lots of sleep.
Sunday
Woke up in time for a mediocre pizza lunch (they’ll be using a different vendor next year), played more games, drank LOTS of coffee, attended an interesting cosmology talk, took a nap, had a lovely dinner, drank more coffee, played more games, entered the Glow themed costume contest and won Honorable Mention for my hat, played more games, went to sleep early
Monday
Breakfast with yet more coffee, attended the closing ceremony, packed, drove home.
It was WAAAAAAY more fun than I make it sound. I’ll be posting photos later today on facebook.
Pizza got here and I ate half a cheeseburger sub
with lettuce, tomato, mayo, fried onions and light hots in case you want to know
I was hungry.
I have my second load of laundry ready to go downstairs. I’m just not ready to get up and walk downstairs.
I think I may do only 2 loads today. That will give me enough clean stuff until Saturday.
My friend is going to be pissed at me but I don’t care.
She would not let me pay for gas, parking or her lunch for fetching me from the hospital. So I am sending her an edible arrangement. That’ll teach her for not taking my money!
Truck is fixed()[sub]2[/sub] sensor was slow, $185 poorer.
First on 2!
doggio, you escaped from the garage for under $200. I always consider that a good thing. 
Still a slow day.
Congratulations, Rosie!
Quick! Someone edit your previous post and send her back to page one.
They’re replacing our irk computers tonight. Fingers crossed it won’t turn into a cluster.
Howdy Y’all! Irk is over for the day. YAY! Pizza is also on the way. YAY again! The new paint did a number on my sinuses today, so I think tonight shall be a Benadryl[sup]TM[/sup] night.
Here’s the latest installment of MOOOOOOM’s life as a [del]pirate[/del] tourist on the high seas.
Howdy all. I too am enjoying my virtual cruise with Mmoooommm.
After being lazy all weekend my knee is back to normal. Hubby is California bound in the early AM so it will be just me and the critters for a week. Lucky Louie will accompany me to irk for the next week.
I have officially lost 20 pounds. It is not easy. Hubby is frying fish at the moment which is not on my diet but what the hell. I haven’t eaten much today so I guess it’ll be ok. Gonna eat either way.
Irk was not too bad today for Monday on a Tuesday. Bee good all!
Mking dinner. Five spice BBQ chicken, lemongrass thyme rice, and stir fried green beans and peppers.
Upgrades always makes things slower.
Red, yep. 2nd cheapest repair I’ve ever had. 
swampy, byt did Mooooommm![sup]2[/sup] uses a coaster with her pints?:dubious:
Yay for a better knee, and for being lighter, Butters!
Sari - I hope you’re feeling better.
Nothing much to report, I suppose. Thinkin’ thoughts of what’s for dinner? No answers yet…
The company put us all on furlough this week, so I’m staycationing, sorta. No one else has time off, so I’m still getting up early to deal with kids, etc. pbbbbttttt, I say
Still no ideas on dinner. Sigh.
My friend got her chocolate dipped fruit and I surprised her
I had a moment of panic that she wasn’t going to be home but her grandson was there ans got the delivery.
Doggio you always make dinner sound so good.
My dinner will be the other half of the cheeseburger sub.
Thanks Dooogio. Funny no one has said you look like you’re losing except two people. This has been a 2 1/2 month endeavor. I did eat fried fish and shrimp and cole slaw with mayo and now I am sorry I did but it was so good.
I must begin some sort of work out program. Walking the dog doesn’t count. I want to start riding my bike but it’s too dam hot and humid right now.
Back scratches for Bobbbbbioo. Must be hell. Is there anything you can take for relief?
