OOOH **Haeyzaeyz** do attack the dresser with an ax and post pics! I’m sure I am unanimous in wantin’ to see that. 😃 **LLwyhny** I agree. Underwear at the bar is a no no before 11:00 P.M. weeknights. Weekends are negotiable as to time. 😛 Beastloaf (actually beastloaves cause I made two but one will be frozen for later) is made and in the oven. Soon I shall start prep for mac & cheese. Once that is in the oven (beastloaf is in the convection oven) I shall begin preparation for cornbread. The cabbage shall be steamed and won’t take that long. Yeah, that’s the menu I decided on. It’s hot outside and this is really a heavy meal for summer, but dangitall… I got me a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for it. Besides, ol’ y’all know who dearly loves this entire combo which will result in “appreciation” which is always in season. All he knows is a special supper awaits his appearance tonight. It ain’t official spend the night night cause that was last night, but, bein’ as he has appropriate clothin’ for the workday tomorrow, it may well turn into spend the night night. What? Moi? Scheme? Why such a thing would never cross my mind! \ Ok, off to cook some more. ---

Sketties and bread machine bread for supper - it will be yum! Today was a good day at work - I got to use my mad google-fu skillz! One guy sent a bunch of us a .jpg asking if we could identify the structure. He asked if we thought it might be a kiln. Well, I knew the picture was taken somewhere in Asia, so I did variations on kiln and Asia and eventually found a photo that identified it as a brick factory. Go me! 😃 Then we breezed thru 4 training exercises in less than 2 hours. Go me again! And when I got home, I got a call from a guy in Pax about a job. I don’t think I’ll take it, but I do think I’ll do the interview. Since I’m getting this cross training, I see great potential where I am. Taking the new job would get me sorta back into the same stuff I was doing in Jax, and I’m pretty sure I don’t want that. Plus it’s working on the P-3, which is supposed to disappear in a few years. Then what?? Nah, I’m pretty sure I’ll stay put. **MamaTigs** , we had a major thunderboomer cell move overhead about 11:15 last night. Some of the lightning strikes were way close. Woke me up and everything. But it is cooler and less humid, and I might actually be able to open the house tonight. Ah, bliss… ---

[QUOTE=Lissla Lissar] I think we’ll have curry for dinner. I feel all multicultural. [/QUOTE] I’m making the curry recipe that (I think) **Smartie** posted a while ago. Actually, I made it last night and let it sit so all the flavors can get together and then I’ll heat it up tonight. It’s a _reeeeeally_ good recipe. Am I **taxy**? That just sounds like something IRS-related. Bleh. I’ll keep my “i” thankyouverymuch! ---

Hi people. Haven’t felt like posting lately. Nothing bad happening, just… I’ll start writing, and look at the result, and it’s hollow – so I don’t post it. Not that I haven’t posted my share of hollow posts in the past – I just seem to be noticing it right now… I’m sure I’ll get back to posting regularly in a few days or weeks. I’m reading everything, though 🙂 Yours, Noyne Spycyal 🙂 ---

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - I make gooooooood sketties! 😃 Made better by pairing it with freshly baked bread. Yummmmmmmmmmm Tomorrow’s supper will be ribs that’ll be cooked in the slow cooker all day. I just need to remember to sauce them and turn them on or leave a note for son-in-law to turn them on. Speaking of whom, he’s going away for much of the weekend. He’s going to DC-ish to meet some gamer friends for dinner on Friday and he’ll stay till Sunday. So \*\*FCD \*\* and I get the house to ourselves for a couple of nights. And we can go out to eat without me feeling guilty about not inviting the others along. So yay! Ice cream later. Relaxing now. Life is good. ---

Thanks **GT** no one else seems to mind, so sometime Sunday there will be a new MMP. It will be before 4pm, and I’ll linky. Ack! **Sphaz**! I’ll keep smoke free thoughts for you. **Mooom** , you tease with the skettie talk! And hooray for having a night alone! Jim chuckled at the Mutant Ninja Poodle. Poodles should never be allowed to have ninja powers. It’s just wrong. ---

First, lets start with - I can’t be Welshed either. Plus, **Soapy** already has a “y” Second- the mall is not my favorite place (hate is probably too strong…) But— I just bought the most gorgeous suit for my son’s Bmitzvah. I usually don’t fuss over clothes, but I really like this one. Yeah! Third- Dressers should not win over humans. Soon we’ll have dreser teminators coming back to kill the dresser resistance fighters. So, Haze, dear: perservere. Fourth- {{{ **Special 1** }}}, and you know I mean it! 🙂 Fifth- I promise-- Bmitzvah obsession will be over soon and I can bore you people with other stories. ---

Good evening everyone. Another day of work down, two to go. Friday should be quiet (I hope) because I’ll be the only one in the office. Hubby has been having problems with his cell phone. I tried calling him today from my cell phone , but the call wouldn’t go through. It kept saying not approved. I was :eek: ☹ thinking he was pissed at me and had blocked me. So, I called him from my office phone where informed me had been having problems and I definitely was not blocked. I called our cell service provider and they told me it it sounded like his SIM card wasn’t working properly. Anyway, I think (hope) we have it fixed. This is the number I gave out for people to call about our boat. Nothing exciting going here. The weather is still sucky and cold. That’s about all I got for now. Hugs to all. ---
