They’ve been stacking them. And I meanly just put them all back on the shelf.

Gnat’s just had some Gravol and seems to be passing out on the cuch, TomKitten is demanding ‘music about yogurt’?!? and the twins are now pouring juice on the floor.

Mr. Lissar is out at the dojo but Quasi-Daughter is coming over to have dinner with us in a little while.

**LiLi** when QD gets there, you could sneak out the back door for a couple of hours. Just sayin’.

**MOOOOOOM** OYKW has gone to get takeout from Sonny’s. Just thought I’d share. 😛

Once I get lunch inhaled, off to play at the bead store. Hopefully, I’ll even stay within budget. 😃

Poke sammiches were yum. It’s still dreary out, but we might see some sun on Monday… maybe…

I had ravioli (or “ravs” as we call it) for supper.

I’m still working on a big batch of cardboard pianos.

Sliced bbq pork, garlic bread, fries and slaw. Sonny’s knows how to do it up right! YUM!

**Nettie** the bread sto’ is a dangerous place. All those goodies just set there and call my name. They’re evil. Evil, I say!

Chipolte BBQ poke chops, ancho chili rice, and green beans for dinner. N.C. State blew it in football. Time for cooking shows and Torchwood!

**swampy** , she said **BEAD** store. Getting an early start on the Sunday Brunch Bloody Marys? 😉

A bead store and a bread store both sound good to me.

There’s a bakery around here called Premiere Moisson. Their croissants are the best ever.

Home (finally!) The old 'puter is gone, though it took ½-hr sitting in the electronics recycling line to make it that way. :mad: I did have fun before I went; made sure the HDD wouldn’t be read by anyone via a hammer, a screwdriver, & brute force.

I guess the day wasn’t as bad as I thought as it took _two_ whole sips/swigs to down the first beerverage.  
The bell just “dinged”, din-din time now.

Well, **Nettie** should go to the **BREAD** sto’. It’s lots more fun. 😛 Had several beerverages have I? Why, yes, why do you ask?

Especially if it’s a liquid bread store. Which I’ve had a few of. 😃

My water has yeast (& hops) in it; does that count as liquid bread? What about Witbier? 😛

I’ve had some bread (sourdough) that kind of tasted like Jack Daniels.

Well if you soak your bread in Jack Daniels it just might taste like Jack Daniels.

**Spidey** fermented water is my favorite kind of water. 😃

Home from the reception  
it was interesting.  
It was nice but you could tell it was done on a budget. As in they should have used chinette.

I came across this little bit of news today, I know some of you who love fermented beverages will be :mad:  
[http://http://www.wjla.com/articles/2013/10/government-shutdown-affects-beer-production-95217.html](http://www.wjla.com/articles/2013/10/government-shutdown-affects-beer-production-95217.html)

You know I think I might be a little bit cynical but…  
the cousin who got married today is just a bit of a snot.  
Well the maid (matron?) of honor gave a little glowing speech about her and I couldn’t help but think\* I don’t know who you are talking about but it sure isn’t the cousin I know\*  
Of course I know people can’t get up there and say just anything but from the speech you’d think she could walk on water while defecating gold pieces.  
It wasn’t the typical good luck toast, it was more like an eulogy. Very strange.

(snickering at **swampy** ’s misread) Playing with craft stuff is much more fun than getting groceries. 😃

Even though I did go over budget by quite a bit.

It is now nearly two in the morning. It would be really nice if the girls would stop shrieking so I could go to sleep. The boys will wake up at seven. (For those who don’t know, I have twenty month old twins. They are freaking out in spite of repeated attempts to cuddle them down to sleep).
