Mooommmmm, I like breakfast burritos with chorizo for breakfast.
Mexican food for dinner. Now I am contemplating a margarita.
You should, it’s national margarita day, you know!
(((DOGGIO & FLYTRAP))))
Off to irk for me!
I have a pull-off calendar, with a different dachshund every day, and today’s photo is the cutest wirehaired dachshund puppy you ever saw!
I’m just a little grouchy as I’m back firmly on my diet.:mad:
**ruble **- I’m pretty sure trying to keep track of MMP starters is like herding cats…
Congrats, Nettie!!
PEARL!!! Welcome back - I was thinking about you the other day - undoubtedly, you heard my summons. 
Can we keep discussions of Trump out of the MMP please??
My engineer cracked me up this morning. I came in to an email listing 8 or 9 drawings, finishing with “If you run out of work to do, ask Ray if he needs any help.” Jason is funny.
However, I have a busy morning and no time to bother with you people. Happy Soggy Tuesday!!
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Hockey after work today. 
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up, purtified, brekkied, and caffeinated so no YAWN ‘Tis 57 Amurrkin out and drizzly with a predicted high of 77 and rain/tstorms/apocalypse beginnin’ around mid-afternoon, tonight, and tomorrow. We shall see.
I shall head out shortly to visit participants in my newly acquired three counties which are east and northeast of here. Rah. I shall start at the easternmost place, work my way up through the other two and then head on back to da cave for the remainder of the day. I figure by the time I do all that, there will be about an hour and a half of irktime left in the day and I can input copious case notes from here just as well as the orifice so why not. Plus, gloom and doom may be approachin’ by then.
Nettie YAY! Hope all goes well.
Sunny appropriate/inappropriate appendages crossed re the job transfer.
CupCakes it’s Lent, the perfect time to be on a diet and grumpy. 
Pearl yay from gettin’ to hear more from ya!
Rockin’ I say you deserve a day to recoop.
OK, I need to hit the road in just a few minutes. Gonna be a lot of drivin’ today.
Happy Tuesday Y’all!
In general I need proteins in the morning. Today’s breakfast was a chocolate mousse-thingee and a kiwi yoghurt, because I haz a cold and it’s making my tummy cranky.
When I joined the Química factory, my coworkers figured I must be from out of town, as they didn’t know me. It’s in the town where I grew up, but the two years I’d been back after college and grad school had been spent taking care of Dad, I hadn’t had a life at all. I didn’t bother correct them. There were a couple that I’d known since we were kids but they hadn’t recognized me. They’re both younger than me, enough that the memory of me just fell into that big sack of “people taller than I am”. Nowadays they’re both taller than me.
Then the Maintenance Manager offered me his condolences on Dad’s death (that guy is one of the people who had faith in my ability to get an Engineering degree when my parents didn’t, and he actually took the time to tell me he did - coming from an engineer, it was much appreciated). You should have seen the look in my trainer’s face… I don’t think I’ve ever seen a man look so much like a pointer who’s spotted prey. As soon as he could drop me back in the lab he did, and headed for Maintenance at sonic-boom speeds to ask what the heck did the Manager know me from.

Still dripping water from the sky, with promises of thunder-boomers and the occasional tornado warning planned for this evening. getting cooler, too, from near 70F on Saturday to the 50’s today and heading for the 40’s. Oh joy.
Heading into irk on a 4-lane highway this AM (I vary my routes because, hey, no use getting to deep into a rut) with a 5th center lane for left turns, some guy overshot and ended up with his car about 40% in my oncoming lane…it does get the blood flowing to see headlights facing you where there shouldn’t be any. Lucky there wasn’t much traffic at 0540 and I was able to swerve and avoid him, but nice wake-up call there.
I know, and I have to race the shopping cart past the ice cream isle when I go shopping, because like cookies and potato chips, there are things I cannot keep in my house because I will binge out on them. So Ice cream is an occasional treat (Butter Pecan at Baskin Robins…)
I know that mentioning Hitler in a thread is considered Godwining it; what do you call it when somebody quotes Shakespeare? Globing it?
Blurf. Double-blurf, in fact. Hell, let’s go for double-dog blurf.
I didn’t sleep well last night, and now I’m reeling from it. I’m taking today off to get some rest and if need be, I’ve got my friend Trazodone to help out when it’s time to go to bed.
In happier news, the sprog’s Quiz Bowl team made the finals! He’s done a super job with it this year, and it’s paying off. So he’ll compete today, and for the championship weekend after next. He also got a 98 on his social studies test. I’m so proud.
I’m gonna wander off for coffee and food. Then I’ll see about sleep.
Up. Got a Dr appt at 1030. I hate to go to the doctor but I have a sinus thing going on and I need my pills refilled. I may or may not go go irk afterwards depending how long I have to wait to see the Dr. And I’ll have to drop off my prescriptions. I need to go to irk but I’m not too keen on driving an hour for just a few hours.
I did not have that margarita last night. The past few night’s bouts of insomnia caught up to me and I crashed hard. Yay for sleep! Unfortunately, I woke up way too early and started fretting about some work things. Blah!
Youngest son has a band concert tonight. He took up a second instrument this semester and this is the first time we’ll see him perform with it.
Is ice cream an appropriate dinner?
I want ice cream…
Maybe I could just stick my food outside the window for half a minute and whip it up? That won’t give it chocolate bits though… I’m feeling ice-cream deprived, help!
Breakfast was soft-boiled eggs with toast and a pear. And coffee. I need to go shopping at some point because I’m out of coffee and the only thing I have to lighten it is heavy cream.
Picked up some *fresh *12+ inch, thin, flower tortillas yesterday. So let’s see what’s in the refer…
Eggs.
Sausage.
Cheese.
Tater tots.
Salsa.
Ham cubes.
Hot sauce.
Sour cream.
Hello breakfast burrito!
I can’t fix a banged up car. I can fix this, just not when the high is in the low 40°s. I’m not high falutin’ society enough to pay others for what I usually do myself.
I’m also still not sure what the issue is with the panels not lining up is.
Metal mouse, I was coming around the curve where the expressway joins the interstate on the way home yesterday when I suddenly see the headlights & grill of a small Budget box truck. :eek:
Yanno, there really should be a law about towing a vehicle by the rear axle!
After “refer” comes lots of food; got the munchies? 
Hot damn! Oh shoot, yesterday! 
Yes, ice cream can be dinner. Now you just have to find the time to go buy it. This is hard (I know - I’m lucky to shop once a week).
Didn’t fall asleep until about 2:30 this morning. Up at 6 with the chilluns. Huzzah! Another day in paradise has begun. :rolleyes:
I was thinking along the same lines but had to ask. As I recall we had multiples even then but I know better than to trust my memory.
Or “adding a side order of Bacon”? 
Well time to search the fridge for dinner and then (with some luck) get the motorcycle out. If this is global warming I plan on taking as much advantage of it as I can.
