Title: Thursday and I want to Dance, Dance, Dance!
Post by: asdf2231 on March 05, 2009, 08:49:05 AM
Okay maybe not.  I would settle for cream cheese for my bagel this morning but that's not going to happen. :(

Allergy shots for the kids this afternoon. Whee.

Cold dreary sort pre-spring day here. The temps are getting up there and the latest snow is melting off.  Revealing pretty dramatic and depressing proof that we should have raked our lawn last fall because it is a bloody mess out there. Also kind of a pain trying to clean off the dog's muddy little paws every time she goes out to do her bidness. :p

I need to hit the lawn with some weed killer early on this year and see about getting an exterminator to treat the damn box elder tree with something that might kill the drifts of those stupid box elder bugs before they start daisy chaining all over the place agin this year.

I think we have to just live with the hordes of asian beetles.

In keeping with the title theme, the girlfriend and I went dancing last night. I was able to stay out late (10pm) because I am off today.

Sunny day, high of about 45, but tomorrow...tomorrow is the day!  High of 68 expected!

Still have a hacking cough, but I'm surviving.  Have a parent meeting tonight at dance, preparing for the FINAL (thank the lord!) fundraiser of this year...Basket Bingo on Sunday.  Have to take the "new" car in for an alignment in the morning (Mr Flame put new struts on), then an insection, and it's finally ready for the road.  Then the fun starts...I get to teach my daughter how to drive a standard!

Found out I might be working Saturday AND Sunday, with 5 AM starts.  If so, fine, if not, fine.  I'm too damn tired to care anymore.

Played poker last night--won the tournament.  Wo0T!!!1!

Thursday... it IS my Friday!

I love four day weeks. 3 classes today, then I get to spend the weekend writing my history midterm, a 5 page paper on Alexander Nevskii.

Since I switched shifts with a co-worker, I didn't have to go to work today as originally scheduled.  :cheersmate:

I stopped in at another Publix location and picked up some Mardi Gras chicken wings (baked with a tasty seasoning).   Then went to pick up copies of my tax forms that my mom mailed to me. 

I did some spring cleaning earlier, with homework being planned for later.  Now, its time for POGO.com! :popcorn:

I'm either a slob or a perfectionist because I'm always amazed at how dirty my little ol' apartment seems to be all the time. I can't imagine what a house of mine might look like!

I'm sure someone will do it for you if the price is right. 

You guys want to shovel my driveway and dig out my mailbox this weekend if I fold?

My whole house is hardwood or vinyl flooring.  I don't use a push broom, but I have a great canister vacuum that makes it easy to clean the floors.

My mom's boyfriend is coming over tomorrow to look at my electrical problems I've been having in my house lately.

I'm paying him with a carrot cake, so I'll be busy baking tonight.  My mom said as soon as she said "She'll bake you a carrot cake, he said 'I'll be there tomorrow!'"   :-)

Here I am in Killeen, near Ft Hood staying at a local hotel, getting ready for tomorrow's In Processing. Traffic in Dallas SUCKED!!! I-35 south of Dallas SUCKED!! They had it closed down to one lane in a few places.  :banghead: Some semi driver tried to run me off the road (or run me over in my truck). F'n 'tard. I didn't realize just how BIG Waco had grown. After In processing tomorrow, I head to San Angelo. It's 90° here today, but it didn't feel like it. Felt like a good 75°. The humidity must be really low. Of course, it's ALMOST desert here.

Started spring cleaning or something like it....I'm doing a room at a time....could be next Christmas before I get done. Not because there is that many rooms.....but I hate to clean.

I got most of the family room area done today. (I also worked in between cleaning) Michael said he was skairt....he was afraid lightning was gonna strike the house because I was cleaning.....the smart ass.... :hammer:

I did however make some incredible brownies.....to die for....actually, they should be referred to as "orgasm by brownie"....

I took a Duncan Hines box of Milk Chocolate Brownie Mix. Mixed 2 eggs, 1/4 c water, 1/2 c Crisco oil and whisked them to slightly frothy. Dumped in the mix, about 1c semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2c Kraft caramel bits, and 3/4c chopped pecans. Barely stirred it all together with a spatula. Dumped it in a greased 9x13 pan. Then took Hershey Chocolate syrup and drizzled it all over the top. Baked @ 350 for 28 minutes. Cooled a bit and sprinkled powdered sugar all over the top.

Oh my gosh.....they are wickedly scrumptious...... :naughty:
