Blurf. Is it Firday yet?
I don’t have any particular fear of heights, but I do have a very real fear of sudden stops.
I have a fair number of DVDs, but won’t be jumping out of a plane any time soon. Sorry, flytrap. 
Hope things start going better, kai.
You’re wearing the good rollers, right, FCM? Not the pink foam ones, but the silver brushy ones. Ooooh, or maybe these, with covers.
Up and at 'em!
Hugs.

Of all the fashion crimes I’ve committed over the years, the only time I left home with curlers in my hair was the steamy summer day when I was having my senior yearbook photo taken. Literally minutes after the photo session was done, my hair was straight and bedraggled. Had I de-curlered at home, I shudder to think how I’d have looked for posterity.
Anyway, other than that one time, I’ve never worn curlers in public. And I honestly can’t recall the last time I wore curlers at all. The older I’ve gotten, the less I bother with my hair. Which reminds me - I’m due for a haircut…
Blurf.
swampy is gay?:dubious:
Up, caffeinated, off to irk.
Flytrap, I’m not jumping outta any planes. I haves some VHS tapes, if you wanna play “Let’s Make a Deal”
Blurf, seconded.
I got the Levis 580 jeans I ordered from Amazon a couple of days ago. I never order pants online, because I have such a hard time finding ones that fit. First, I’m a plus size, then my body shapes a little awkward, and finally, I have yet to find a clothing manufacturer that can actually produce two pairs of pants labeled the same size that fit the same way. So, I really was taking a change.
They fit! They fit! They’re probably the best made jeans I’ve owned in a while - nice sturdy denim, good color. They make me happy. 
I’m also starting to count down the days to getting my apartment. I had to turn the thermostat up last night. Phoukabro had set the temp to 60 degrees. I was so cold I couldn’t sleep. sigh

Bungie jumping, on the other hand…no fricking way!!! If I’m gonna go ‘splat’, I want one helluva view on the way down. /QUOTE]
I agree; doubt I’d bungee ever again but I’d skydive again anytime. There is VHS of the bungee - ain’t purdy! :eek:
Well… that was an interesting night.
Was still up at 2am, 'cos my computer’s picked up something a bit nasty, and I lost track o’time trying to fix it, when I heard a weird metallic noise outside the window. Now, I live in a ground floor flat, with a basement part as well- there’s a concrete lined trench outside the basement window, just below my bedroom, which has all the gas 'n electric meters in it and stuff, and also has a ladder screwed to the wall, for access to the meters and an emergency basement escape. I’m always a little wary of suspicious noises from out there, 'cos the basement window looks like a fairly obvious one to break in to, being not visible from the road, so I look out the window, and there’s a guy on the ladder.
I decide to yell ‘what the hell are you doing?!’ at him, in the hope he’ll leg it, and he starts drunkenly telling me that it’s fine, he’s just locked himself out of his flat, and he just needs to ‘borrow’ the ladder. He then goes on to tell me that he’s just moved in to a third floor flat just up the road, so he obviously thinks a 6’ ladder is perfect to climb back in…
I tell him that I’m sorry he’s locked himself out, but that does not make it OK to steal our emergency escape; he seems genuinely shocked that I should suggest such a thing, and the drunk guy trying to remove a screwed-on ladder from our wall at 2am tells me I must have an awfully bad view of human nature to imagine he’s stealing :eek:
He seemed utterly bewildered that anyone would possibly object to what he was doing; after all, he was locked out! What else should he possibly do!?
Anyway, then he randomly declared that the flat was a housing association property (which it’s not, and I have no idea why that was supposed to be relevant), yanked the ladder off the wall, and walked off down the street with it.
I called the police, to see if they could get it back, but they didn’t find it or him.
I think I need to move to a less ‘interesting’ suburb…
Star Trek?
Early actor spotting: Mr Weasley from Harry Potter as Peterson, a shipmate of Lister & Rimmer on Red Dwarf in the episode Stasis Leak.
Whew. I remember that first joy of discovering that thing called IMDB and playing connect the dots.
and :mad:
VWife is feuding with her family, and it’s not just an everyday spat. I hate drama.
Ugh, so not a fan of drama, and family drama is even worse.
My mother isn’t speaking to me. She won’t pick up the phone when I call. She’s still butthurt over the fact that mother in law insisted I not tell my mother that she was hospitalized. She hasn’t contacted my MiL either. It’s been over a month and half now.
waitaminit… I’m gay???!!! 
You’re right Rosie it just does not get old.
I’m sayin’ MOOOOOOM went with the basic little black dress, pearls and six inch heels with white hat, scarf and gloves. Or a sweater set and khakis. One never knows with her she is so devil may care.
Irk is bein’ irksome. Conference call about nuttin’. An arguement over paperirk that I won by citin’ policy. That always feels good. Oh and more paperirk to deal with.
Rah.
midday blurfage
And I’m back. I do have a black (and white) dress and a string of cheezy fake pearls. In order to get 6" heels, I’d have to stick all the heels from all my shoes together, so that ain’t gonna happen. And no also to that white hat,scarf and gloves. However, your second guess was pretty close - I wore khakis and a seersucker tank top/shirt twinset, and brown loafers. I’ll give you points for being really close.
Had a nice chat with the HR lady and the guy who was sitting at the reception desk. I didn’t want to bother FCD, so I left after I was done in HR, but I called him from the car to see if he wanted to meet for lunch after I ran an errand. We had some yummy messican food at Monterrey’s, then he went back to work and I came home.
Daughter emailed me an invite to dinner tonight, so we’re going out for Chinese - yay! No dishes! Also, no grilled cheese for supper, because that’s what I planned since we had a good lunch. All in all, a good day… mostly.
I came home to 2 piles of cat hork, so I’ll be dragging out the carpet cleaner shortly. I picked up the big chunks, but since there are actually 4 stained spots, I’ll let the machine take care of them. Then I think I’ll mosey down to my studio - I saw some pots on a website that gave me some steal-able ideas. Well, not exactly stealing, but it inspired me to try a couple of things. All art is derivative anyway, isn’t it?
It’s gonna be a scorcher today. I’m no looking forward to it.
I need to get myself cleaned up and wash my rig. It is covered with big bug guts from the epic drive across the state and back. I also need to go to the store today because according to my husband, “There’s no foooooood”. What that really means is there aren’t any snacks available for him to nosh on.
I’m thinking tonight’s dinner is going to be a big spinach salad. I can’t eat when it’s hot anyway.
Boy, did I call it. Just got off the phone with my mom - she wanted me to place a Craig’s List ad to sell her collection of Southern Living annual recipe books - 31 years’ worth! She gets all her recipes on line now and she’s tired of dusting cookbooks! We shall see…
You can be arrested for that some third world countries, no matter how cute you are.
Today is humid, hot and with a side of blurf. Trying ‘the other kind’ of on-the-shelf sleeping meds. They probably work; don’t know. Don’t know because I took two instead of one. Interesting, colorful dreams but omg I did not want to get up and still don’t, though I’ve technically been vertical for hours. I can’t WAIT until I get to where I have to take meds daily; I’m gonna overdose out of idiocy for sure. :smack:
blurf.
Coffee might help but I’ll have to see how much I can actually drink while I’m simultaneously yawning and hiccuping. 
I’m sure it was a lovely ensemble MOOOOOOM.
I’s home. I’s also tahrd. Dindin shall be steak, sallit, sauteed 'shrooms and onions and cheesey garlic bread. Quick, easy and yum.
