Ye Olde Saturday...

[asdf2231]

We are going to have a crowd of screaming kids here today dressed in platic armor and swinging plastic swords at each other.  Wow, what a good time! 

Sunny and Autumnal today.

Kids are due to hit here at noon for fun and hi-jinks,  I am roasting little bits of meat on sticks for them and they get crusty bread, corn on the cob, fruit and juice in little plastic goblets. I might send them out on a quest to retrieve the Evvvvvvil Obama sign two doors down and slay the ancient and most powerful Lord Moonbat!

The basement is squeeky clean and my wife is mining the piles of organization off the breakfast bar.  House looks great.

The poor Mancub has been waiting since August 30th (His actual B-Day) to have his party.

I might or might not get suited up in my old rennfest get up.  The stuff is hot as hell to wear even on a cooler day.


Shaping up to be a fun day!  He got his "Big" present the day before his Birfday in August becasue I actually flew out early morning for Louisianna the day OF.  I picked him up a 360 game called "Hail to the chimp" for today.  It looked cute and may or may not be a dig at Bush, lol.

Your party sounds like fun, asdf! Hope everything goes off without a hitch.

It's quiet here which is wonderful. I don't have to be anywhere this weekend so the plan is to do a lot of cleaning and decluttering. I'm using my parents' church's upcoming rummage sale as an excuse to go through my crap and get rid of most of it. Decluttering is so therapuetic. Last night, I rearranged my workspace. It's much cleaner and Zen-like now.

Temps are supposed to cool off today. Yippee! I might actually turn off my A/C for good now.

Oh goody--screaming kidlets.  Glad I'm not there.

Doing laundry now, finished cleaning house, doing a bit of grocery shopping, shipping bills off, and maybe going over to the Legion Hall for a "meat raffle" (yes, they exist) this afternoon.  Grilling dead mammals for dinner and that's the extent of my excitement.

Our band has our first gig in a while this afternoon/evening. It's an end-of-the-year party for a local tennis/swim club. I hope they're in the mood for beer soaked blues/rock. That's what they're getting.

I'll be surrounded by screaming and yelling, too, but for a different reason...football game!  My head is still clogged, and throat is still sore, so I won't be doing too much yelling, though.

Then after that we head to a theater mixer for my daughter.    They "wrote" a moonbat one act thingy they are doing tonight, called "Letters from the Future" or something, which is basically letters sent back to the past, talking about awful global warming is and what it has done to the earth and you, as our ancestors 100 years ago (meaning us, of course) need to do something to stop it.   Total moonbat.  My daughter plays the six yr old writing to her great great grandfather, quite entertaining.  And they have a stereotypical angy balck girl, and hippie Californian (well, he used to live in Claifornia til all the cities flooded, man).  I'm sure my tongue will hurt from biting it so hard, but hey, what do you do?

My older son also has a baseball game, but Mr Flame is going to that, since it is at the same time as football.

Just got to work listening to tunes. Denison is having their Fall Fest today.They have several bands,booths,and good junk food. I might get lucky an someone bring me an apple strudel. It's cool right now but the temp is suppose to hit up around 90. Thor is at home smoking a brisket. Can't wait to get off work and start the weekend.


Flame hope you get to feeling better. Hope everyone has a great day.
