It’s currently 31 degrees and partly cloudy with an expected high of 51 and cloudy to partly cloudy skies. Rain is supposed to arrive around 6:00 pm this evening. Of course, it’ll be raining during my morning commute to Oly town. At least I only have to commute once during this upcoming week.
I have a fairly good sense of direction, but always have a back-up plan in mind. I have learned that Google maps is not always right. For instance, I can’t figure out why delivery people keep getting lost trying to find my house and they always complain that Google maps sent them to a completely different place. I always dismissed that because I’ve done google maps directions and my address always showed up correctly. However, it had been a while, and now the drivers are consistently getting lost. It’s become a real PITA. So, I googled mapped, and whaddayaknow, it IS wrong. They have the wrong street showing on the map for where I live. My street ends in Court East and has been since 2003. The sign ends in Court East. However, the map shows the street with the number and just plain East. This is wrong. I sent a correction to Google; we’ll see if they fix it.
boofae, I would never scold Polar for something like what happened at bath time. He’s old, he has issues, and his anal cancer surgery just made things worse. He knows he can’t poo inside and was probably completely stressed because he couldn’t get outside to do it. He has the occasional problem getting to the door in time and you can see that he’s tried really hard to get to the door, but his arthritis sometimes makes it difficult for him to get up or even lie down. And yes, he’s well-loved. This is the dog who ate part of my leather sofa two weeks after being adopted. Most people would have taken him back. We were very unhappy of course but stuck with him and the rest of his shenanigans, escapes, and escapades. I can’t tell you how many expensive shoes I lost to him in his first two years here.
pearl, I often treat myself to a little bowl of ice cream in the evening. I did, in fact, have ice cream that evening.
I have no interest in watching the Stupor Bowl. I will be doing laundry. Fun times!
I need to finish my coffee and clean up the kitchen. While the husband made a tasty dinner last night, he left a mess in the kitchen and it’s driving me nuts.
45 and sunny with a predicted high of 49. However, all the snow has melted and is now muuuuuudddddd. I hope Ariel didn’t roll. Off to ride, then home. I will have the SB on in the background while I read Agatha Christie Cards on the Table
[quote]I’m excited for you, that looks amazing. Please remember to take pics of the fabric before you start cutting it so I can get a better idea of the textures.
For the first month I am making two of this square:
Nor do I. FCD always watches it so I see it by default, but he’s not here, so I’ll be spared. And if I want to see the commercials, they’ll be on line tomorrow, right?
Back from erranding. It’s miserable out there - not a heavy rain, but definitely a cold one. It didn’t keep shoppers home, tho. WalMart is always crazy, but Aldi was packed, too. And when I drove past Food Lion, its parking lot was full. Insanity!
Just talked to FCD - he’s near Dayton, OH, and less than 3 hours from Avon according to his GPS. His weather is lots better than ours - he even sees big ball of fire in sky!!
I got a McLunch and I think it’s time to assume the recliner position and finish reading the current stupid trashy novel. This one is particularly bad - the heroine has a deep-seated fear of thunderstorms, so when one was passing overhead, she let the skeevy guy she was with screw her brains out to distract her. Yeah, that’s plausible… And we all know the two of them will end up married by the end of the book. I hope I don’t lose too many brain cells before I finish reading it.
Mrs. L.A. just booked a cruise to Alaska in October. I hope she has a nice time! (Just kidding, she booked it for both of us.) She’s paying for the cruise, and I’ll pay for the food.
We don’t need passports, but mine expires in July so I’d better see about getting it renewed.
My wife has given some of hers to various family members We have a summer and a winter quit for our bed and she has made a few lap quilts. She now has six finished tops and is setting them up with batting and backs. The stumbling block until lately has been getting them quilted. This can be a big expense. The fabric store we shop at most often has six long arm machines that they rent time on. They just have required training to qualify. We have both taken the training.
I have one ready for long arming. We plan to set a day up soon to get working on these.
I dreamed last night that Queen Elizabeth was still alive and that somehow (I forget how or why) I was frequently invited to the Palace for dinner. Her Majesty was quite funny. It’s odd because IRL, I don’t have much interest in the royal family and when reading the news, have to remind myself Charles is King now.
Yep. The ground was quite wet, and apparently some particularly yummy shoots or something were growing. Here’s part of the gaggle. I couldn’t get the whole thing.
And I’m embarrassed to admit that when I looked at the photos, I saw the “ducks” were actually swans. (Stoopit vision.) Anybody know anything about swans? If so, are these Trumpeters? They seem too small, but I read that western WA is not Bewick’s swans’ territory. Here’s a photo I took.
Same. I once got totally lost going around the block–OK, two blocks, but still…my family won’t let me live that down.
Taters, that’s interesting about Google. Maybe it explains why Uber always says I’m located in some nearby woods. Also, Polar sounds like a sweetie.
I used to mute the game and grade papers, then unmute during commercials. Now I just watch the Best of on YouTube. Also, yippee on the cruise. I hear it’s gorgeous.
Howdy Y’all! We deheathenated, I did the Acolyte trainin’, we stopped and got a McN.O.L. which we took back to da cave to eat. Then we accomplished nappage. 'Tis cool and cloudy out, so glad to be inside and warm. Oh, the biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig trash can has been hauled all the way down to the road for pickup tomorrow.
I have a fridge magnet that says, “The only normal people are those you don’t know very well.”
BooFae what a great thing you and your friends did for your friend! I am sure she will be thrilled.
OYKW has next to no sense of direction. Seriously, I don’t think he could drive more than twenty miles in any direction without gettin’ lost. Yet he made home visits when he was managin’ a home health agency.
I intend to completely ignore the Stooper Bowl. I have zero interest. Thus Netflix shall be binged. Plus any of the commercials worth seein’ will be online tomorrow.
Pearl the idea of anybody standin’ on a porch and callin’ a cat, as if he/she would come when called, makes me LOL.
Nellie I quite like the image of you poppin’ over to Buckingham Palace to dine with the Queen. If the corgies were around she would scold me for feedin’ them bits of food under the table. Dawgs know I am a sucker for that.
You’d probably find me an amusing neighbor. Buddy gets called in when it’s kitty curfew. He does at times, when he feels like it, actually come in when called. Felix (RB) was quite good about coming when called, too. Allie, of course, has the Siamese attitude on the subject.
JtC, I make more cards than I use or sell, so I donate to Cards for Soldiers (they distribute packages of 10 + a pen to active service members and vets in VA facilities) and a local senior center. I also, by request, gift a set for my SIL and one sister as birthday presents. Keeps me out of the bar.
Moooooom, I’m no stranger to interstates running together. In Nashville, I24 runs with I40 on the east side of town and I65 on the north side. I65 runs with I40 for a bit downtown. Confuses the crap out of tourists.
taters, GoogleMaps designates my neighbor in the next building as my address and vice - versa every couple of years. If deliveries begin to get mixed up, one of us goes online to da Jungle, as GoogleMaps won’t do anything about it coming from a peon, but will for them.
Finished up a project in the studio today, made a really good pot of pintos and got the Sunday chores done. I also took Nelson to the dog park (lucky boy, that’s three times this weekend). On the way out, I saw a Nissan Rogue make a left turn right into the rear driver’s corner of a UPS package car. It only messed up UPS’ taillight, but the front end of the Nissan was a mess. Their little dog (we’d just seen him at the dog park) was yipping to beat the band, likely because he was scared. Poor baby.
Aw, she wouldn’t scold you. She liked sweet, gentlemanly bears. Remember this?
In the dream, she said back in the Sixties, she’d made a state visit to a third world country and was standing on a dais when a minor earthquake struck. She had to wobble and use her arms to maintain her balance. She deadpanned, “I’m sure everyone thought I’d made up a new dance.”
