Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 63 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 79 for the day. Now that’s Fall weather! What? It is down heah!

**BBBobbio** I don’t know if I’m flattered most by you’re thinkin’ of me when you saw that tshirt or flattered by the fact you thought of me whilst in Wally\*World. 😃

I’ve never had poutine but I want to try it. I figure anything that includes fries, gravy _and_ cheese can’t be bad.

**Diver** hope the toothache goes away soonest. I agree about the dentist.

Sorry, but not a fan of tree rats.

Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy is hongry. Then, alas, irk purtification must commence.

Happy Tuesday Y’all!

I’m not sure there was a need to expand the “monster cereals” line beyond the classic trio of Booberry, Count Chocula, and Frankenberry. Also not sure Frute Brute was that great a concept (even ignoring the illiteracy quotient of the name). Supposedly cherry, kind of a general fruity taste.

FWIW, I don’t like poutine at all. I was just trying to appeal to the people of Montreal.

Blurf.

Gotta pick up a book for a friend today, but haven’t heard back from her yet. grrr…

Turns out I won’t be picking up the book after all.

I guess I should get back to work on my crafts and then head out to work.

Blurf.

Accidently left the washing out on the line last night, and went to go check if it was dry- thought I felt rain, then realised that it’s actually tiny bits of ash… Given that there’s no active volcanoes within rather a long distance of here, I think a neighbour has decided to have a bonfire. Would be when I’d just washed all my black stuff for work, wouldn’t it? :smack: Oh well, the white speckles probably will make it look distinguished.

Happy Toosday!

It’s a nippy 48 degrees outside with a projected high of ::SwampySnerk::69::SwampySnerk::  
My window is open! YAY!

Today is laundry day, pizza day, and Sah-son drivng with the school day. I also have to let my friend down today, I feel guilty if I don’t help him, but used if I do.

Breakfast was a ham and cheese sandwich.

I feel a blurf coming on.

I did it once, with the exploding batteries incident. 🙂

I has been to the dentist and gotten my new crown. And that is the story of my day so far. Exciting, no?

Blurfage has passed, now I’m awake.

I should be irking but I just love having Moonday and Toosday mornings off and even though I need as much money as I can get I can’t get motivated to work.

The HFH has left and I’m waiting for my mother and her bf to leave so I can start my laundry. It’s easier to get stuff done when they aren’t around.
