Title: Monday....again.
Post by: Flame on April 27, 2009, 07:27:11 AM
Hot hot hot here again.  Another ball game tonight.  And practice.  And dance.  In other words, a typical spring day!

I'm worried about my boy kitties.  My daughter let them out late yesterday evening (I usually don't let them out after about 5), and they haven't come back yet.  I saw them at about 9 last night, but they wouldn't come in.  Haven't seen them since.  Hope they come home soon!  (both are neutered, so that wouldn't be a factor).

Supposed to cool down to 88 tomorrow!

Back in the office today so I can get some rest.   :uhsure: :innocent:

Getting ready for my MIL to arrive next week for my son's college graduation.

Plenty of work to keep me busy today, so the day should go quickly.  I signed up for gym last week, and I got some discounted personal training session with the sign up, and I have the first one this evening.  Lets see how weak and out of shape I am  :p

Well, for me, I get up in the morning because I usually have to tap a kidney.  :-)

Been up half the night trying to save my laptop, and I'm worn out.  Finally tried one little thing I hadn't done... should have done the FIRST time before I did anything else....cleaning up the disk space.  Now I can use my Zune software again.  I had no idea how full my temporary files were.  :o 

I don't have to go to class until 3, so I'm getting ready to run to the bank and pick up some lunch. I'm just relieved I don't have to shell out a bunch of money for a new computer (though that pink Sony VAIO I saw on BestBuy.com sure was cute!  :uhsure: )

My MIL, who has been in a nursing home for some 6 years now, asked for Depends for Christmas a couple years ago. No joke.

If I get that bad, I just wanna see somebody pull the plug on my ass. I tend to get diaper rash pretty bad.  :-)

If they did that, you'd need more Depends.   :rotf:

This is Friday for me... no work tomorrow.  Got some bigwigs coming in from Wilco Hess... they're opening 4000 new accounts with our company.  We just hired a new gaggle of sales reps.

yeah, well those other things I'm sure you were thinking of seems to be vanishing, too!  Why is that when a woman loses weight, that's the first thing to go? :bawl:

Rainy and moderately cool here in North Central Texas today. Supposed to rain most of the week. At least the AC or the heat doesn't need to be run.

That being said it was a pretty good day.

By that I mean the cute adorable fuzzy ladylike puppy stopped having diarrhetic bowel movements the size of Texas on the carpet and got to eat a little bit of food so she stopped crying constantly and looking at me with huge welled up "Why do you hate me?" eyes everytime I got near the fridge.

Also the carpet shampooer got some use the last 24 hours. :p

I watched Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog again today and did a bit of house stuff.

She's hopeless.  Been bugging me all week about booking a flight on Priceline.com to visit a friend on her birthday.  I mean, how difficult is it?  A monkey could do that.  I got some hotwings out of it so I guess its okay.  Picked up a few more eye of chuck steaks.  Mmmm, greasy steaky goodness.  They're cheaper than sirloin, but they're harder to find.

What do you add to your bloody mary's?

I like a dash of A-1 steak sauce or a couple cold shrimp in mine...

I've never had one... I figured I would look something up online.  I have Worchestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in the cupboard.  I have a little bit of vodka left I would like to get rid of.

Sounds like you have enough stuff to make a good one!

On TOS's recipe thread there is a huge recipe for a bloody mary mix, but looks like it would take several hours and a sack full of groceries to make, but still sounds good!

Many thanks to her husband. :)

a bloody mary sounds good right now.

I have made alot of virgin mary's I just like the taste.

Unless I am using a mix, I dont think I ever make the drink the same way twice.

A little dab or horseradish is good in them also.

Have the kittens returned?

One had returned...heard him yowling on the neighbor's porch last night about 10:30, and went and grabbed him.  He was in total freak out mode.   Still haven't seen Max.  He's the oldest of the bunch at about 10 yrs old.  He's also the one who disappeard for a week in FL and then came home one night, so I have hope!

I let them out, but usually only in the morning.  They go explore the back yard, or lay in the sun for a bit, maybe explore the trees right behind the house (thin line of tress separating us from the people behind), and then come back after 30 minutes or so.  My daughter let them out the night before last right as the sun was going down.  I think they got into "explore mode" in the twilight.
