Play Don Ho! \m/_
Canes lost but awesome game. Sunday is a brunch tailgate.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 57 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 87 for the day. No big plans afoot today. Mowage will happen at some point bein’ the biggie for the day.
elf what a bizarro pic! I love it! 
Now I need more caffiene and should consider feedin’ rumbly tummy. I am up way early due to the fact that we crashed around eight thirty last night. I shall try my best to be quiet so as not to awaken he who continues to slumber.
Happy Sattidy Y’all!
I really should think about actually going to bed at some point, since DH has a 12:30 appointment he insists on me coming along with him to (and we need to hit an ATM, too).
That’s a hoot! And it’s on a par with the bizarro dreams I tend to have.
Not many dreams last night, tho - only a nightmare in the form of Cozmo. First, he whined and yowled at bedtime for about half an a hour. Then he woke up a bit after midnight and started again. Daughter got up to deal with him, but I was awake, and Higgs started in, so I got up and let the 2 dogs run around while I watched some TV till almost 2. All was OK till some time before 5, when Cozmo started again. **FCD **got up and let them both out this time, and a bit before 6, I just gave up and got up. They’ve been fed and they’re out in the yard right now. **FCD **is back in bed. I hope to surf in relative quiet.
No real plans for today. I have a bag full of stuff to get ready to go to the little store to sell. I also want to get all the pachysandra in buckets rather than the bags - that’ll kill a little time. Beyond that, knitting, I suppose.
Happy Saturday, such as it is…
Speaking of t-shirts for swampy… I followed a link to that site. I see me spending some money there… 
Afternoon, mumpers - happy Caturday! I have been a bit MIA this week, been a strange time at irk since I’m there but I’m not doing much and half the time I don’t have a desk/PC either. I was supposed to finish this contract back in August before my holiday, then they asked me to come back for three weeks afterwards. Since then, I keep getting to Friday and they keep asking if I can come back the following week.
Now I have agreed to go back next week but only for four days because my agent has something else for me but it starts with a one-day handover on Friday. Since this new assignment is an on-going contract with no end-date, it would be silly to turn it down in favour of one that is going week by week. But the dept I’m in is really nice, the people are great and the whole place is a total administrative shambles that I know I can sort out. So unless they can put together a very fast business case and get agreement for me to stay full-time for an extended period of time, I will have to leave them on Thursday and head off into the sunset…to the School of Chemistry on Friday morning.
What it is to be so much in demand…
This would be my choice of t-shirts from that site
eta
and, oh yeah, BLURF
I should buy this one for the next Convention Pub Crawl
I dreamed I was in a house that was a filthy shambles.:eek:
Also, blurf.
Late-morning blurf.
Bleh, I’ve got so much to do today. Just catching up on online stuff at the moment.
The time signature in that song is pretty wacky.
Mowage of yahds and ingestin’ of pizza has occured. Load of socks, shorts, ts and undies in the washer. Soon as they get thrown in the dryer it shall be nappy poo time. I has earned it!
We brunched, ran some errands, and came home. I repaired the hem in Daughter’s black pants. My mother and I discussed our trip to England to catch the ship, and we’ve decided to stay in a hotel near Heathrow that’s serviced by the shuttle that will take us directly to the ship in Southampton. That makes more sense than staying in Southampton, what with getting there then getting to the ship.
Now all we need to work out is getting from NYC to Baltimore. I’d like to just take the train. **FCD **said he’d drive up and pick us up, but that’s nuts! Our agent said she’d get us a rental car. ugh. Off to investigate the train.
That’s the excitement in FairyChatEstates today.
Happy Saturday.
It’s a cool cloudy 67 degrees with a projected high of 68.
With all the rain we had my lavender is almost as tall as I am. I need to take the scissors out and cut it back some.
I’m home from watching piddle pup, she sure made a mess last night, then she didn’t get up at all this morning until right before it was time for me to leave.
I tried to take a little nap when I got home but I couldn’t fall asleep.
The wedding reception is at 6. The HFH isn’t going so I don’t have to worry be seated at the same table with her. YAY!
Blurf.
Had a somewhat odd few days- one of my new co-workers has disappeared, for a start; proper reported-missing-police-checked-the-house disappeared. He’d been there years, and it’s all a bit worrying. One of my other co-workers got hit in the head by a high-speed football at the match today, and was still really woozy an hour later, so we had to drop her off at A & E on the way back…
Possible partly due to the staffing chaos, I’m getting really no notice about when I’m working- just getting phoned and asked if I can be in a random place in say, two hours. This is making planning anything rather tricky.
I did have a good night last night though- was on the door at one of my favourite local venues, for a gig I probably would have paid for. Quite a few of my friends were there, which was really funny, 'cos I hadn’t mentioned the fact that I’m doing door work to any of them, so the double takes were fabulous At least one of them seemed convinced it was a costume, but she was quite drunk.
Still no idea if I have work tomorrow or not- probably I shall be back at the rugby, but that is a guess based on the fact that it’s on, and no-one else has been told anything yet either.
Oh well, at least it’s not boring, except when it is.
My friend’s having another huge Halloween party this year!!
If only I could think of something to dress up as. Last year I dressed up as Stravinsky. Hmm, maybe I could try Mahler this year. Except that my friend’s mother is a famous singer who I don’t think likes Mahler all that much. Heh. I’ll think of something. 
I am listening to the twins dumping all the huge fantasy novels (Tad Williams, Robert Jordan) off the shelves. They’re probably going to make them into little piles. At least I hope so. The other thing they do is rip covers, so piles is preferable.
Long time no see!
LiLi LTNS!!! Well, except on facebook. I know you lead a super busy life with four kidlets. Maybe the girls are pilin’ up the books so they can decide which to read first. Maybe they’re prodigies! Or maybe it’s fun to pull books off of a shelf and pile 'em up.
LiLi!
: tacklehug :
At least they aren’t glueing each to the furniture.
Or you could put theseall over a plain suit and see how many people say “Here comes treble!!!”
I’ve got the leftovers of the poke roast torn up and simmering in BBQ sauce - I figure in a couple of hours it should be super-tender and yum. I’ll toss some onions in shortly.
**FCD **is napping. Daughter is enroute to her former coworker’s wedding. Higgs and Cozmo are making me crazy. I may assume the knit position in front of Netflix for a while…
Welcome back LiLi!!
