I’m on page 9 and feeling fine! Er, something like that. 
I’ve only got once article left to write about and two pages to fill. Hopefully I can ramble enough and then write a big finish.
Ok, I’ll be back when I’m done. Don’t miss me too much. :D:D;)
Whew - what a day. Mostly in a good way - busy busy and all that.
I spoke to my mom when I got home - she’s a zinger. As of this afternoon, she’s completely purged Monica’s room of everything but the furniture. Good clothes went to St. Vincent de Paul, OK stuff went to Goodwill, trash went to trash. Curtains came down, bedding was stripped, washed, and donated, everything was dusted and vacuumed, except for moving the big furniture.
It’s not that my mom is cold-hearted or anything. But I just know she’s been itching to give that room a good cleaning for years. Monica wasn’t a tidy person and Mom tried to allow her to have her space the way she wanted. So there were drawers full of what to anyone but Monica would be trash. She wore the same 3 or 4 outfits over and over, and she had piles of clothes that still had tags on them. My mother is a clean freak, and she had to do this, plain and simple. When my dad died, her first step in the grieving process was purging his closet and dresser… I guess we all deal in our own way.
Anyway, we’re going to drive up early on Friday, and we’ll come home after lunch - Mom’s already made reservations at a place around the corner from the cemetery. I don’t know about other folks, but in our family, funerals are followed by meals in nice restaurants. That way, no one has to do dishes.
And speaking of TMI, I’ve got a big pile of it in the cubicle next to mine. While it wasn’t directly addressed to me, I overheard the occupant discussing his and his wife’s appointment with a fertility specialist, his need to be there, and his hope that they’d have good magazines… :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: He repeated the same story to **FCD **when requesting the day off, and needless to say, my sweetie didn’t want to know all those details… :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Thankfully, when he came back to work, there was no comment about the magazines or anything else to do with the appointment. I do know that the guy to whom the comments were directed said he figured out what was going on almost immediately and he didn’t want to know all the extra details… So it wasn’t just me. I guess some people just can’t keep personal information private. ick.
Supper was sloppy joes -they’ve been in the freezer for a few months, so the flavors blended nicely. I’s stuffded, but I still want a donut.
Time to knit…
Hooray! Everything for the class is finished.*
Someone throw confetti!
*Did I mention the bit about the portfolio assignment that is saying that I’m supposed to turn in something that the teacher never even assigned and the teacher is ignoring my requests to clarify this to the portfolio person? :rolleyes: Fortunately for me I have my syllabus to prove that the assignment didn’t exist and tomorrow I’ll be strolling to the portfolio lady’s office to show her the proof.
<throws confetti> WHEEEE!! Congrats 
I have made enough albondigas <meatball soup> for about 10 people; who’s hongry?!
Howdy Y’all! Home from Evening Prayer at the church house which was good. Dindin was leftovers from yestiddy. Tomorrow, who knows.
Oh yeah! Brownie with a bourbon chaser and an aspirin to counteract. I like it WetOne!
StickyBuns YAY!!! Had your ice cream yet?
Now I shall go lie upon the bed and watch teevee til sleepy time.
Nitey Nite Y’all!
Sounds good to me. 
Gee, Yom Kippur is over, and I forgot all about it.
I was crawling around in machine rooms fixing the intertubes.
Anyrose, did you get a peek at THE BOOK? Do I need to worry?
Jesus, I ate hot dogs and…oye, I’m in trouble already.
Yay!
More thunderstorms tonight with the threat of hail. Fun. It’s raining which is good.
Hugs to all!
Wow. Not only did I finish my paper, I also managed to register for my Praxis exam in November. :eek::eek:
I think after all that it’s time for bed.
:eek: dog fart! :eek:
fsh. I ate sausage today -before sundown. You’re asking the wrong chick.
The whole “prime rib on a Lenten Friday” thing doesn’t look so bad now.
WTF are they doing upstairs? I want to think it’s sexy times, but there’s too much manly-sounding giggling going on.
Time to drill a hole in the ceiling
Don’t look at me, either… :burp:
The handbasket is getting kind of crowded, innit…?
FCM – sorry about Monica.
Taters – good news about your father; hope he has as much of a recovery as possible!
blurf.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN 'Tis <snerk> 69 <snerk> Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 90 for the day and dry, dry, dry. I’m told there should be rain next week. We shall see.
doggio don’t forget about the filet mignon on Ash Wednesday. 
Rosie, flytrap and Special1 did y’all think to offer any to the Rabbi?
Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must comence. ICK!
Happy Thursday Y’all!
Just wanted to say hi before I leap into the insanity. It’s gonna be a busy day.
Last night, I took all the hats and scarves I knitted and ran them thru a rinse to ensure all cat hairs were removed. Alas, some of the yarn was fuzzy, and when I emptied the dryer, several of the hats were covered with fuzz. Luckily, we have a really good lint brush, and I managed to de-fuzz everything. So tomorrow, I’ll deliver 18 hats, 3 scarves, and 2 hat-n-scarf sets to Mom for the shelter. Glad they’ll be getting it before the cold sets in.
OK, I got work to do - quit distracting me!
Happy Thursday!!
Up, caffeinated, off to irk.
Old Jewish joke – the Rabbi and the Bishop were great friends. The Bishop asked the Rabbi “so, when will you break down and have a taste of pork?” “At your wedding, Father”
(Yes, I know this is meaningless to Protestants… )
