The Summer Solstice MMP

FCM I want one, and yes the benches are very convenient to watch the clothes dry.

Swampy Sometimes one needs to watch clothes dry, or grass grow, or contemplate their own navel for a while.
I always beware of children.

So I called the store about billing me twice and they have no idea what I am talking about because on their end it only shows one payment. Yes, I understand the money is right, but it is still a pain that they are billing me twice and refunding once.
I called the place who didn’t take the bill out of my account and she said oh, it’s being processed it could take another 2 weeks!

Maybe I need to be less anal about bills and money. It drives me crazy though, if someone says they are taking money out of my account on a certain day then they need to take it so I am not worried there is some kind of screw up to come back and bite me in the ass later.
If I can take the time to make sure the money is there the least they can do is take the time to take it!!!

And Julia. Hey, I should post a picture of my painting, Julia Child’s Garbage Can. No one, you say, would pay for a painting of that, right?

Well…

They’re a convenient place to put my laundry baskets as I hang or take down clothes. I can fold and sort all at once. Planned it that way! :smiley:

Sis and her canines are gone, so the house is quiet. Yay! Taz came out of hiding, but I don’t expect to see Ziva till maybe tonight. And I should get a call from sis this afternoon about her car - she may have a buyer, but if not, I’m putting an ad on CL for her.

Lunch was a burger. We talked about doing lattice this afternoon, but I don’t want to work on the deck today. We shall see what happens…

Well the bill got paid.

Sah-son is awake but he doesn’t want to go grocery shopping, but we have to unless he is willing to eat what’s here.
He’s grumpy, but so am I.

Both of my nieces came over, I have no idea why, maybe to exchange kids or something. The younger one just had her c-section 10 days ago, I think she should not be driving. I don’t know why they met up here? Oh well I was busy and didn’t go out to see so it will remain a mystery.

I need lunch, and to meet with my client which I don’t want to do.
The client I am sitting for this weekend is leaving late this afternoon so I will just go by late tonight to let the dogs out and worry about hanging out there tomorrow.

Laundry is down, folded, and put away, thanks to help from my sweetie. Tomorrow, we’ll work on the deck skirting and trim. Saturday, he’s doing a poker run with his harley buddies so I’ll do more laundry. YAY!! :smiley:

I’m in the middle of making a big batch of sketty sauce. The ground beef was rock-hard frozen, so I’ve got it browning slowly. Onions and 'shrooms are cut and ready to be added. My daughter gave me an oregano plant for Mother’s day so I’m going to use fresh oregano. Yum!

Guess I should go check on the ground beef…

I’m off to dinner with the parents and grandma, and I really just don’t want to go. Today was annoying at work, I’m tired, I’ve got the beginnings of a headache, I’m still worried about my cats, and I’ve apparently been clenching my jaw so hard in my sleep this week that all my teeth hurt and I can’t eat properly, so I’m hungry and cranky as well.

Don’t wanna. :frowning:

call them and beg off. They’re family. They’ll understand. Won’t they?

Awwwwww. A little hair color, and leg shortening, and Gordie would look a little like that.

The look on her face is preceless.

Looks Welsh to me.

dogbutler:the Children’s Riot Festival.:eek:
Got out of irk early. Laundry was done in a child free zone. :smiley: Bought an air filter for Rory, too.

Was supposed to play Hawaiian music on the ukulele for the barbecue yesterday. Which I did, though I didn’t have enough Hawaiian music to last the entire playing time, so I sneaked a Beatles song and some of my own pieces in too. People enjoyed my playing. :slight_smile:

**doggio **- she was talking when I snapped the pic, so that accounts for her expression, methinks…

Supper was yummy sketties, and I’ve got at least 3 more meals of sauce to go into the freezer when it cools a bit. Yay!

I think I’ll assume the position and knit the night away. *** MWAH!!***

I’s tahrd. I irked, stopped at the sto’ on the way home, made and et dindin (meatballs ‘n gravy, smashed N.O.T. and green beans), and started doin’ some prep stuff for a Sunday N.O.L. at da cave. Believe it or not, I’m doin’ turkey ‘n dressin’. I plan to make satanic ovaries, butterbeans, squish casserole, rolls and a chawklit sheet cake with Coca-Cola icin’. Plus the obligatory Bloody Mary’s cause Whiskypalians will be showin’ up for N.O.L.

Oh and sometme between now and then da yahd needs to be mowed. Fortunately da cave is defilthyfied.

Did I mention I’s tahrd?

Orange ginger chicken is almost ready. had the green bean and shroom stir fry already.

swampy, sounds good, except the butter beans. [Gollum]We hates them Precious![/Gollum]

Yay for a good gig, Midget!

we decided tomorrow will be the last day for daycare for the twins. They start Kindergarten on Aug 5 and in the meantime we need to save up money. Daycare is $220/wk, so we can save $880/mo by them not going. We can’t even pay rent next month because of daycare (we are going to have to go to our church for help), we are behind on our credit cards, and I could only make a token payment on my car note. I hate being poor :frowning:

They would have, but I went anyway because FREE MEAL. And I had a good time once I was out. But I am glad to be home.

What might be my last lawn mowing of the year is done.

Is the board giving anyone else trouble?

I click on the link and the little circle thingie in the corner just goes round and round and round some more.
I have a headache and
I am getting grumpier, people are getting on my nerves.

20 more minutes of irk, then I got to feed some dogs and a kitty. Only one kitty because the other kitty died. I hear the remaining one has mellowed That is a good being how he used to run up the walls and knock the pictures down, rip up the mail and spread it around the house. and I had to hide the catnip in the microwave to keep him from unscrewing the cap and spilling it all over the floor.

Yes, it has been happening to me on Chrome on my computer. Not on my phone though. I thought it was just my WiFi acting up today because it was doing that with all pages, but not anymore. Now it is only happening on the Dope.

Hey, kopek!
I was just thinking about you today. I cruised on over to Grand View Point in Schellsburg and then ran right through your town…

Why? I ask because for the first time in, oh, 40 years… me too. Ain’t it grand?

Cool.

Which Beatles song?
Yellow Submarine, I bet. :slight_smile:
