What shall I get Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) for our second anniversary, in addition to a condolence card? ---

I am almost done with part one of my first major project that is due next Tuesday. I just have to ask my mentor teacher one more question and I should be able to finish. I’m also almost done with parts one and two of my other major project which is also due on Tuesday. Woohoo! Once these are done my stress level should hopefully go down a notch or two. Now, though, it’s time for bed. ---

> [@Yllaria](#): > > That would be cool. You all make me wish I \*was \*making a video. What I’m making is a Halloween costume along the theme of “I come in peas.” I’ll do the video. I’m getting pretty good at 'em; editing & adding music & good credits, too. 🆒 I share one if requested. **Draelin** (& anyone else that can get it), your weekend should include some River Horse Hipp-O-Lantern Imperial Pumpkin Ale. Tis nummy! It’s bottled & brewed in Lambertville, NJ. I wish I knew sooner as I was just there, with time to kill, this past weekend. ---

Happy Thorsday It’s a dark wet rainy 58 degrees outside. My phone says we have showers, my phone lies. Poor Sah-sog, I let him out and in less than a minute he was crying at the back door. Probably because I put him out the other day and forgot him. By the time Sah-son heard him and let him in he was soaked. I’m tired, going back to bed. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 57 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 84 for the day. Another nice south Jawja Fall day afoot! **Nettie** forgot to say yestiddy, prayers, good thoughts and appropriate/inappropriate appendages crossed re DH’s job nibble. **flytrap** you should whisk Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) away for a weekend at Arkansas’ most romantic spot. I have no idea what that would be but you should do it. You have the idea. Now, it’s up to you to take care of the details. 😛 Yay for progress on your projects **StickyBuns**! Let me know if I need to lecture. 😃 **Spidey** we want a video. Ok, I need to go get purtified for irk. I’m meetin’ OYKW for brekkie at yummy Pearly’s this mornin’. Well, Pearly himself ain’t exactly nummy, but his food is. Happy Thursday Y’all! ---

> [@VunderBob](#): > > Blurf. The weather sucks. Preach it brothah! Since it hasn’t rained in these parts in over a month apparently everyone forgot how to drive in it. Serioulsy people it’s rain, not tiny blue faries or some such. No need to go -10 miles an hour or screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech to a halt if someone 7 cars ahead of you brakes.:smack: But on the bright side today is mine and Mr. Jynxster’s 4 year anniversary. We are going out for FONDUE!!!😃 😃 😃 Next month we are going to see Alton Brown as our co-anniversary gift. Am excited! ---

Thanks for the Jynx/Luck’a’versary wishes. 🙂 I hereby declare that there shall be no whistling at work, either: A) From the cubicle next to me or B) From someone in the bathroom Two different people, enough with the tuneless wistling! Also if you whistle something that causes me to have an earworm, you shall be forced to sit down with my boss and listen to all the “same damn sea stories” about her earlier work years over and over again, like I do during the weekly staff meetings. That is all. ---

**TwoBees** , or not **TwoBees** : that is the question. (Sorry, couldn’t resist.) As a highly sporadic poster who barely manages to lurk in her ever-shrinking downtime, do I get a nickname too? Oh my goodness look at that squirrel. I bear chocolates, sundry ice creams, blurfs, beers, distilled spirits, condolences, congratulations, birthday and anniversary wishes, hugs, and celebratory cheers in the name of post-Wednesdayness for the buffet table – please, help yourselves. 'Tis 11am in my neck of the concrete woods. 'Tis not bedtime yet. Please, help me convince my brain of that. The caffeine isn’t being persuasive enough. Did you guys see that squirrel?? Attention span? What? Le sigh. Back to irk. ---

Tonight is _Project Runway_ night, the only other show besides _Columbo_ that I bother to notice when it comes on. Sorry about the two friends **FCM** It’s still cold and rainy.
