May the 4’s be with you
Maybe I can practice my singing!
I just got back, but if you’re going to sing, I think I need a nap.
I can think of ways to make it worse. Here, let me see if I can find an accordion . . .
We definitely need a podcast of this.
That’s fine with me as long as it’s in a file format I can’t play.
Hi growthrate. I find earpluggs work fairly well.
Ooh, can I play the triangle?
missing, ah yes.
Ya gotta have more cowbell – gimme some more cowbell!
Hey there, SN — hope all’s moving along as planned re the couch.
Thanks for asking about my dwelling project in the earlier cafe’. Brief reply: still finalizing plans, pricing lumber, working out travel logistics etc. Not a speedy process when it’s a solitary endeavor; I’m also taking care of all the day-to-day stuff like firewood harvest, mobility problems, spring cleaning, cat herding etc.
Now it’s time to get to the vittles. Hope to see y’all soon!
What a full life you have, WW! I bow to your superior survival skills and energy level.
Thank you, o scrumptious cafe’ hostess. Alas, in my case both are currently somewhat lacking, but we gotta do what we gotta do. Unless we’re engaged in more enjoyable pursuits (ribbit, ribbit) ..
😉
I need to learn the cat herding part.
[More from Trader Jo’s]
Made it back to LA yesterday and had to leave at 6:00 AM this morning to get to a 9:00 AM job interview. That old familiar feel of planning life around freeway gridlock…. Just woke up from a nap and chillin in front of the TV with my pootie Shadow at my feet.
How happy was Shadow to see you? How did the interview go?
Shadow is in heaven. It was a blissful reunion!
The interview went well, except that I only had two hours sleep and I was interviewed by a ten-person search committee, including the provost of the school. I kept thinking of that line in
Tootsie, where Jessica Lang tells him, “think of them as something friendly. Like a firing squad.” It was all planned out with notes and each person had a preassigned question. Scary!
It’s the thought of scenarios like that that keep me staying home scrubbing floors.
I know. Just wondering how far I can stretch the old unemployment check….
Hi MM. Great picture and I know Shadow and you’re family are happy.
I know what you mean on gridlock. I got behind a tractor going to town today. 🙂
Oh ha ha, FM!!!
You’re home! Good to hear that you can still find a way to fit in that slacker time! Shadow must be very happy to see you … 🙂
Glad you made it home safe and sound!!!!
Thanks, rf69! It was a long drive with me at the wheel of a rented cargo van crammed full of all my earthly possessions, caravanning with the hubby driving our 15 year old Toyota.
LOL I drove fro phoenix az with my car being towed. Big moving van and what a bitch that was. I hope never to do it again. LOL
Moving SUCKS!!
I am so relieved you are back home with your family and pootie!!!! WHEW!!!
How are you all?
Hi Olivia.
Did you have a good, unwork-filled day? 🙂
Nope. It was one of those days where you feel like you worked really hard, but got very little done.
I’m now shooting for Friday as a day of slackdom.
How was your day?
You’ll have to try harder or something that doesn’t contradict Slackdom’s Rules.
I’m going good thanks!
Howdy Miss Olivia!!!!!!
Hey, olivia! How’s the D70 treating you? I have a birthday coming up in a few weeks and am dropping not-so-subtle hints, for what it’s worth!
want to play “Would you rather…?”
Alright, here’s the question, I’ll start with an easy one:
Would you rather:
date someone with a razor-sharp wit
or
a vibrating tongue?
Good lord! – you people are the worst “Would you Rather” players….EVER!
Razor whit. I can teach them things to do with their tounge. LOL
As long as they don’t have a razor-sharp tongue, we’re good to go.
Ok then, here’s another one:
Would you:
make out with and grope feverishly your best friends mom for 40 minutes and $15,000?
Uh, now these are forced choice? Don’t I get a “rather”?
And the answer is no, I would not. Would you?
the answer is HELL NO!!!!! Last time I kissed a woman was in 9th grade. LOL
I’ve got the champagne chilling at my blog, where I’ll be reaching the 10,000 hit mark sometime in the next 24 hours. Hope you’ll join the fiesta!
I’ll be there Manny.
doesn’t interrupt one of your naps. 🙂 With my luck, I’ll be the one slacking somewhere when it happens.
When I’m hell bent on a nap, nothing interrupts.
But I see a lot of cheese cake going around tomorrow.
Congrats!!!!!!
Thanks!!!!!!
Have I mentioned before that I always smile when I read your comments refinish? Makes me ‘chortle merrily’ everytime (I hope you didn’t copyright that, SN.
Thank you!!!! I take that as a compliment. I do love to make people smile and laugh.
Woo Hoo! That’s awesome Manny.
It’s sorta bizarre considering I averaged 5-10 hits a day prior to a couple of months ago.
I’m enjoying the chance to blow off steam with my entries.
hehe O:–)
I visit a couple times a week – can I have some cheesecake?
plenty to go around, even for the coupla-times-a-week-lurkers in our midst 😉
I’m not done making people hate me here, then I’ll move on to another site. 🙂
Please you are such a sweety!!!!!
It’s all an elaborate ruse. 🙂
ROTFLMAO!!!!!
it’s their loss. I considered your words to be among the most profound when I found myself with ink splatter 😉
I’m getting more…um, wordy? nervy? something along those lines. Maybe I need to wear a big rubber apron from now on.
I do love your blog, I just forget about it sometimes. You know I think you are wise beyond your years.
the lampshade to the rubber apron, but that’s just me 🙂
(Andi, I think this is my new favorite)
I visit 2-3 times a day. I want a whole cheese cake to myself.
Show off! You’re such a hog for recognition and cheesecake.
That’s me. Anyway between Bud and cheese cake it’s hard to stay away from Manny’s site.
Are you going to make an announcement of who gets the coveted 10,000 mark?
to figure it out, sitemeter can be difficult sometimes. I’m placing my bets on one of the florist-forum visitors who somehow linked up to the Petals for Peace diary. Pretty cool that someone thought it was a good idea to promote on their message boards.
I love cheesecake and champers.
be an abundance of both 🙂
Hi Folks!!!!! Hope everyone had a great Monday!!!! Here is a flower to brighten your evening.
Refinish did you take that with your new camera? Very nice.
Yes I did. It is a flower that is growing wild in the front yard. Alas it will not make it through the next mowing since it is right up at the curb.
Well lets see. The way you were talking about your mowing last time, it should be there until fall?
Ooh, yowza, that one hurts!
Not at all. After the critter visit a couple of weeks back, I will never let the yard get over grown again.
Don’t blame ya at all. Just kidding earlier, of course.
LOL NO problem. I knew you were kidding. LOL
I missed a critter visit? What kind of critter?
A rat came through teh screen into the kitchen. My yard will be kept clipped and mowed and I now have unltra sonic noise things to disrupt their little minds if they come back in. The dogs chased it out but I am deathly afraid of them and do not want another one.
OMG – you’re fucking with their little minds? Aren’t you afraid they’ll all conspire against you, like that movie Willard?
no cause the diva dogs actually watch out for me and would eat them before they could get to me. I thought the untrasonic thing was nicer than a glue trap and a trash bag. LOL
He just said he’s deathly afraid of them and you bring up Willard.
Don’t worry Refinish, they won’t kill ya, just gnaw a little bit. 🙂
They won’t knaw on me. I hated that damn movie and had night mares for years!!!!
These are in the front yard and it gets mowed every two weeks.
That’s a beautiful flower – what is it? I’ve never seen them before.
I have no idea what it is. LOL
Those are super lovely!
Hi Olivia!!! Thank you. My flower pictures will never rival your though. You are the goddess of flower photography.
But I think I live being a goddess! 😉 Thx r69!!! and one more !
You are most welcome!!!!!
This dog feels like crooning.
Aw! What’s she got in her mouth?
A large red rubber ball.
My partner Imogen/myriad just took a picture of Luna basking in the morning sun. I’ll be back in a tick to post it.
what a sweet puppy!!!!!!!
Bud says hello to his friends down-under.
another sweet puppy!!!!!
Doggy down!
That’s my favorite picture of Bud. I just want to grab his big old face and give him a kiss right on the schnozolla.
so good that day. Usually he looks at me that way and then twists around to pounce so I’ll pay attention. Not that day, he just stared at me and kept blinking until I couldn’t stand his hypnotic power any longer.
I’m confused. Who is upside down, me or are you?
esp. in the summer when it’s hot…head in shade, tummy in the sun. Ahh, to be a dog in a good home.
that is a great picture. I took some others of the big guy twisting around on the floor but I’m having camera-to-laptop issues at the moment.
This is borderline puppy pr0n 🙂
LOL Too funny!!!!!
She doesn’t need the sun to shine us. She usually lays splayed out like this all the time.
Yet another cute puppy!!!!! I love puppies!!!! They make me smile no matter how bad a day it has been.
go lie down or something. The Pest Inspection Report was like a cannonball to my gut. $6K in repairs…
We were all very excited about going to go look at houses this week because we’ve been in limbo land for a while. I’m so wanting my life to get started. I see the path, I am on a journey but I feel this chain on my ankle or something… Moving up here was for healing on so many levels… and now… I’m just fucking busy and fucking volunteering for everything and fucking … fucking fucking. It’s like running in quicksand some days.
I think I’m just tired. I don’t do usually get to take “naps”… not sure I’ll be napping or sleeping. Just lying down. Escaping perhaps.
The Senator will be out so we have an appt with his advisor or whatever. Lovely, I’ll get my ass arrested for meeting with a loser advisor…
You walk down the street during a rally or vigil and these fucking assholes just look right past you. Empty faces, empty eyes, empty.
Oooh kay. This was not supposed to be a rant. Sorry LOL… about that…
I just need a rest. I’ll be back and back in raring form… just gotta talk to the realtor down in Calif about the report and escrow… The spouse knows and he’s stressing out.
But.. at least there’s hockey and there’s my friends.
Poor DJ. Can you get another estimate on the pest situation? That sounds really high, but I have no experience.
Good luck, girl.
I dunno SN, the realtor said her son could do the repairs for 4K…
They say termites, beetles and fungus from roof… I feel like we’re being reamed… Fuck it, pay it and move on ya know. I just hope the buyers to balk…
I am sorry!!! I know how frurstating the protesting can be. I will not relate all the dead faces I saw last year as we tried to stop the Texas marriage amendment.
{{{{{{{{{{DJ}}}}}}}}}}
I know it doesn’t feel like it right now but to me it sounds like you have some really great things going on in your life despite the hassles!!! {{{DJ}}}
Thanks you guys and MM, Sorry, I just got a little berserkoid there for a minute.
I have os much to be happy about … and I am.. I’m just… I dunno.
Then I see Kere’s and Manito’s doggy photos.. and I want to stay LOL go figure.
Sometimes you just gotta get it off your chest!
I need to get some bras that FIT.
🙂
I just did that today! And what a huge pain in the ass. As it turned out, I could only get any 2 of the 3 criteria I was looking for: 38C, front clasp, no underwires.
Funny you should say that…. when I was writing the message I wrote “get it off your chests…” and then I almost left it that way but decided…. nah…..
I just realized it’s almost 7:00 pm here and I haven’t even started dinner.
Gotta go, be back in awhile.
The Diva’s want to say hi.
happy diva dog in the top picture with the blurred-out tail. When Bud gets particularly happy, his whole backside shakes with the wagging. hilarity.
Mine too!
LOL Bette is always happy and so is Reba. Reba doesn’t show it as much as bette but she tells me. She is a talker and will whine and jabber at me all the time. LOL
