I made corned beef and cabbage AND hamantachen. it was a multi-ethnic day!
Yum.
Long, surprisingly productive day at work.
Went for a walk, then had din-din (good ramen, with peas - had to make sure there was something green for dinner, of course).
Have been surfing and am now quite tired. Might sew some buttons on the sweater that I knit before going to bed.
Hope everyone is feeling better (how are you doing, rosie?)
Hugs.

I made pork chops, cabbage, and Cajun dirty rice. It was a multi-ethnic dinner!
Finished off my sweater, finally. Just had a couple of ends to weave in and buttons to sew on. Might need to reinforce the buttonholes, but I’m going to play that by ear.
I’m quite pleased with it.
Now I’m off to bed. Really.
Hugs.

I started the day wearing green, and end it feeling green. Dinner was one of those “What the heck do we have that’s edible?” nights. Corn dogs, canned mac-n-cheese and green beans won out over Five Guys burgers only because we didn’t need to leave the house.
Might be OK for a kid, but no so wonderful for middle-aged adults with middle-aged metabolism.
I went to a Mexican place I like and had two orders of chili so thick you can make it into balls and throw it at people. Somehow after reading this I feel ------- lacking. But it was yummy and I can live with that! 
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis goin’ to be another of those starts out chilly but ends up warm days, aka, Spring.
I irk for five hours today then I get to go cube up and season chuck roasts, run the all important errand of pickin’ up a keg of green beer for tomorrow’s festivities, make room in the fridge at the church house for the keg, make sure the designated keg trash can (yes, we have one whose only purpose is to hold an iced down keg cause, well, gotta make sure the important things are taken care of! :D) is clean and attend Even Song this evenin’. Somewhere in all of that some dindin must be had. I foresee fast food. Then there’s tomorrow’s all day cookin’ marathon. I’s tahrd and ain’t even got started yet!
Now, however, I seek out more caffiene and brekkie for rumbly tummy after which purtification for irk must commence.
Happy Firday Y’all!
ETA: Makes point of standin’ down wind of Ruble. 
I don’t know about the rest of y’all, but I think I’d rather be upwind.
Blurf.
Got to work this morning to find a voicemail from my sponsor, wanting me to book a business week long trip to Sandy Yeggo, starting this coming Monday. :eek: :dubious: and :rolleyes: While I am not opposed to the idea in the least, I need more notice than that to pull off business travel.
Broke out the cast iron skillet and made corned beef hash and eggs for brekkies for the kids and hubby. Then I hand sliced some corned beef for my daughter’s sandwich. Yum.
Good morning and howdy - it’s finally FIRDAY!!!
I’m up and caffeinating, and yes late again today but that’s okay, it’s FIRDAY! LOL Swampy, thanks for mentioning the Irish soda bread because it made me remember to stop off and get some for our St. Patrick’s day corned beef and cabbage and boy was it good! I had a couple of slices for brekkie this morning even, toasted. 
I’m wearing a lilac purple shirt with dark turquoise slacks today. While it may sound like an unusual combo, it works for me. 
Sorry about the short notice on your travel, BBBBBobbio, but at least it will be warm there, cause the cold is supposed to return here tomorrow, and last into the coming week.
Today is my only nephew’s 21st birthday! Happy Birthday John! (I have one nephew and one niece…out of four brothers, only one had kids!!) My cousin’s birthday is on Tuesday–she’s the one I’m closest to out of all my cousins.
Hope everyone has a great day and a great weekend! Those in the DC area, please enjoy the warm sunny weather today.
Do you do your own booking or do you have a corporate agency? I hate corporate agents: there have to be some good ones out there simply because there’s so many of them, but so far my experiences lead to approaching them with a feeling of dread Hitchcock could barely reproduce in his greatest work.
Speaking of Hitchcock, there was a blurb on TV the other day about how “there is a new brand of terror out there… blahblah psychological terror yaddayadda started with Witch of Blair… no more gore…” I wanted to throw The Complete Hitchcock, in sharpened DVDs, at whichever whippersnapper had written that shit. Dude, psychological terror was before gore! Asshole! Damn, now I need to apologize to output sphincters :smack:
Howdy Y’all! I’m on phone duty this mornin’. Goes well with paper irk. 
I have a big window to look out on the beauteous Spring mornin’. It’s torture. I wanna be out there! WAH!
Happy Firday!
I got the donwannas too, Swampy. I’ve had them all week.
Depends. If you got some spring sinus thing happening right now being downwind of my could have Afrin beat all to Hell and back!
Live Ruble clear!
Ya know, I don’t mind dealing with people one-on-one and in groups with face to face contact. Dealin’ with people callin’ in however makes me want to reach through the phone and jerk a knot in 'em. Tell me what you want and I’ll get ya to the person you need. Your life history beforehand only delays ya.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled MMP.
Last night I wore red, covered in glitter, with one silver sleeve.
It was dress rehearsal for competition.
eta - in answer to gt’s question, still battling this ‘whatever-it-is’; I woke up coughing, but I think that’s more a function of last night’s exertion than anything else. Between the long sleeve costume, cramped room, and insufficient changing room space, I sweated off 2 pounds!
Blurf. Working from home today so I can have some peace and can concentrate. It may be great for the career to be a Subject Matter Expert, but it makes it damn hard to concentrate. My normal work is easy enough to pick up and put down and pick up again, but the Project from Hell requires focus. So I’m hope with only the cat and the Dope to distract me. I think the Project from Hell is ready to be shipped off for review so I’m pleased with my progress.
I’m not so pleased with the continued sinus congestion and the resulting sore throat from having to breathe through my mouth. Why, oh why, can I not get through a single winter without a sinus cold? Grrr!
Our gerbil died sometime overnight. She wasn’t particularly cuddly or handle-able so we aren’t overly sorry to see her go. And we noticed over the last two days that she didn’t look so good so it wasn’t a surprise. KT gave her a cheeto last night so she ended life happy. Then I had to clean up the cage this morning since it’s garbage day. ::sigh:: Just what i wanted to do while I feel sick.
I think I may be far enough with work that I can justify taking the rest of the day as a sick day. Blurf.
Sweater pics, gt?

We had ham steaks and oven-roasted veg (N.O.T., carrots,onions,red bell peppers, zucchini, & yellow squash) last night.
We had corned beef and Irish soda bread last week.
Yes, we’re weird.
I think this is one of my better ones - please all of youse guys vote, and get me on the front page! kthxbai 
I was going to take half a day off, but stuff precluded that. However, I did get to leave an hour early, so I got to stop at WalMart for a few things, then come home and open the house. It’s 80°F here with a lovely breeze. It won’t last, but I’ll enjoy while I can. The chill is supposed to return tonight, and a coworker said someone threatened snow next week. bastards!!!
Cozmo is on*** the list ***again - he peed in the dining room twice today and at least twice yesterday. I just finished cleaning the carpet again. Stoopit dog.
Last night, a cat wandered up to the family room window and Taz went ballistic! His tail poofed up and he made yowling noises like a demon at the gates of hell! It was hilarious. The outside cat just sat there looking in before he wandered across the porch and, I assume, back home. Taz is nuts!
TGIF. Here’s hoping I don’t get called into work this weekend.
