TWENTY-SIX FREEKIN’ DEGREES F!!! That’s what the thermometer outside my garage read this morning. Who stole spring??? Round up the usual suspects, dammit! The HOG meeting wasn’t bad, altho more than one person tried to convince me that I don’t hate riding. Overall, a very friendly, and VERY GRAY group of folks. We’re going to the social tonight in White Plains at the Mexico Restaurant. \*\*FCD \*\*slept in this morning - he had a rough night and it wasn’t helped by the dog barking before 4. So when the alarm went off, he got up long enough to let Higgs out and feed her, then he retreated to the guest room to catch a few more ZZZZZZZ while I finished my morning routine and came to work. Thank goodness today isn’t the Alternate Firday, or I’d still be sitting in the parking lot. I don’t rate a key. \*\*Butters \*\*- that’s why I don’t ever want to be a boss/supervisor/manager. It’s good to be a peon. 😃 What will you be doing for the Blue Angels show? (Apologies if you already told us - my memory ain’t what it should be.) **swampy** , if I lived near you, I’d have to join St. Pat’s - sounds like a cool church! And considering how many food-related functions you talk about, it also sounds like a pudgy church… 😉 I’m thinking of bugging out early today - we’ll see how my workload goes. I’ve got 3 projects in a semi-suspended state as I wait for other folks to do whatever it is they’re supposed to be doing - mostly checking. I can move ahead on one, but I’m reluctant to do too much because if the suggested format I forwarded isn’t to their liking, I’ll end up re-doing everything. I swear, it’s so difficult being me sometimes. _\_ 😃 Happy Firday!!! ---

One good thing happened because of my appointment being canceled today. I get to go to Aqua Zumba this morning! Yay!! After that I’m going grocery shopping as I prepare for the baby shower that I’m catering this weekend as well as taking breakfast to the HFUNs and hanging out with them for a bit the same day. It should be a busy, but good weekend. ---

Morning all, I haz a case of the Fridays. Am at irk but only for 3.5 hrs. And it snowed on the way home yesterday while the sun was shining. Whats up with that? Its Brrr degrees here too and of course more rain predicted for this weekend. Is it possible to get a weekend with out rain?? And on that note, we got our annual notice from our Home Owners Association that in 30 days they will become seriously anal about the length of your grass, the cleanliness of your garage doors and the crack-free-ness of your driveway, etc. Most of this I have no problem with and am happy to remedy, except it won’t stop freaking raining on the weekends so we can’t get out to do the first mow, power wash the house and stuff. Give me a break here! ---

I have an earworm and I blame **Nava**. Thanks to her post I now have a hymn, _Wilt Thou Forgive That Sin_, written by John Donne, runnin’ through my haid. Google it at your own risk. **MOOOOOOM** we are kind of a fun place down to old St. Pat’s. Yeah, sure, we’re a buncha hyooomans which means at times we act that way but for the most part we get along. We do seem to do a lot of food related events. Heh. When we were buildin’ the new place our then Bishop said he thought we should build a “church proper” and add the kitchen later. Ummm… yeah. We need worship space and space to have fun. That’s how we roll. So we built a place for fun and worship and will add the “church proper” later. ---
