Good morning loungers

Good morning Laura! I am getting my morning chores done, so I can go to a benefit dinner this afternoon.. That is about it for me. The sun is shining and the colors on the trees are just brilliant today!

I'll be thinking of ya later on tho, hope that helps! :-D

 

Late Saturday evening, here. Went to a birthday party earlier on, and got a chocolate cupcake thrown on the back of my head :yum. So I threw a Lemon Meringue back at her and got her mom - Whoops!LOL Well, her mom couldn't throw for nuts, and his this big guy with a cigar, eh. Real messy food fight followed.

Well, I suppose that's one way to use up leftovers rolleyes. At least it was outside in the back yard. In fairness, I did help clear up afterwards with the aid of about 100 seagulls and crows that thought Christmas had come early. Pity Tim.W wasn't there, I could have really given him cake!:-D

I felt guilty that I might have played a part in wrecking her birthday, but she said it was the best one she ever had. Then I sat in a bowl of custard and jelly, and she couldn't stop laughing at me:-o. I can’t believe I fell for the old custard bowl on the seat trick. Ah well, vengeance will be mine next year!

So I'm home now doing an extra load of washing - surprise, surprise. I think I had one too many Martinis, as I nearly put my clothes in the toilet - ugh! Early night for me, I think. Don't think I'll be easting cake or pie any time soon, though.:-o

 

@ Phantom - where's the camera when one need it most :-D What fun all the same.
I got out the barbecue and did some tandoori chicken

 

Good morning all.I`m going to drive 80 miles round trip to deliver a load of fire wood to a nice yound lady whose husband is in his 18th month in Iraq.She drove up here on thursday and got a big load and wanted the load I had in my truck too.She is giving me $10 extra to del but that prolly won`t cover my gas,but I don`t care,I support our TROOPS! Hi Laura,Halo,Sikvik,TeeCee and Ghostie.Oh its 0819 and 39.8 °F / 4 °C p

 

You too Laura.Just eeking out my meager existence here on the left coast.I check in here every day but usually am on the run lately.I`m getting too old and broke down to work so hard but it feels good when I do it but the next morning is hell.:lol:

 

Pack the pajamas and be prepared to crash. Comfortable bedding will be provided. Bars open - I'm kinda mean and get all friends hammered, no way you can drive after :-D the gate is locked and secured by an armed security guard.
The only way you can drive off is if your abstaining and dry. Those are the rules..:-D Seriously I've locked down friends :-D

 

How funny Phantom, Animal House Party :-D

I'm getting sick

 

Nearly three hours after dragging self out of bed, still in pajamas and sipping the third cup of coffee. Considering making another grilled sandwich, with turkey instead of ham this time...

Toying with idea of eventually actually put real clothes on so I can get out of the house and mail out the book I agreed to send to a moocher, since it's already been a couple of days since I agreed to send it. Maybe after that I will play a video game and drink a Guinness.

 

Good day to Darlene and Mimsy!! I got back home at noon and fixed a big brunch for my pal that rode with me and have been watching the Oregon vs UCLA game.Ducks just scored 3 touchdowns in like 4 minutes,while I was washing the dishes,hehehe.Ghostie that sounds like 1 heck of a party my friend.Tim would have had a blast I bet.

 

GO OREGON!!! The better they do, the better my Broncos will look! :celebrate

And The Guy got his second degree from there, so he cheers for the Ducks for that reason as well.

 

Hi Laura, I like your new avatar!

Sounds like my kind of perfect day actually

Just got home from work and just relaxing for our Sunday ritual. Church lasts pretty much all morning and will get home around 2pm. Will probably camp out in my room with the Sunday ads and comics with the Football games on the TV and get a good nap in. Autumn is my favorite time of the year to get lazy in. :-D

 

Talk about a goodie basket :drool Would make a nice avatar..
The Tandoori chicken came out yum and juicy. You guys should have dropped by :-D

Sunday afternoon here now. Will treat my self to a couple of screwdrivers.

Decided I felt like cooking again. Will make some mutton shanks. The dish is called Kashmiri Rogan Josh Takes all of 30 mins to cook and simple to boot

Kinda rich, as it's cooked in clarified butter. But I've eaten very sensibly the entire week. Time to indulge :-D

The kitchen has been prepped for me - so I'm off, with a drink in hand.
Cheers..

 

Happy Sunday/Monday to all.Big sports day for me,with baseball,football and drag racing and also golf.Hows about a good morning tune?I been up since 0545,I thought clock said 0645.:-D

I can't wait to get to the office and talk about my weekend! Stay tuned.

 

Friday night was supposed to be rather uneventful for me. But, with my family, there's always a party or something going on somewhere. I ended up going to an Aunts house, around 7PM & stayed out until something like 2:30, played the DD, as usual.. No complaints.

Saturday, I woke up around 7 AM & texted my brother and his wife. He was getting ready to leave for the Steeler game in Detroit, so I asked if I ought to bring donuts over for them, and their two kids, they agreed that I should. I wasn't home until about 3 AM after that. I stayed for donuts until about 10, came down to work and set up a new machine. From work, I left and met my mom at a birthday party for a cousin's step kid. He turned 6, I pre-paid for him to go get the Transformer movie that's coming out on the 20th. Everyone thought that was a great idea, I thought it would have to do, I didn't have any other ideas.

From the birthday party, we left to pick up another aunt & head to this "camp" at Cook forest, about 45 minutes away. I was DD again. This had been scheduled for a while. I ended up talking to all these new people, friends of my moms, and friends of the friends. It was pretty entertaining. There's another lady there, and she's a DD for her boyfriend?? They kept joking about getting married, so I'm calling them together. Anyhow, she starts doing shots, & hitting the beer cans, peer pressure never goes away I guess. Turns out she's the one needing the ride & her boyfriend stayed sober to drive. What a riot though. She sat & listened to me talk for a while, & kept telling me about this daughter she has. I made it clear I wasn't in the market for a chef, er... girlfriend, but she was persistent & made me give her my phone number so the girl could call me. I wrote my cell number on one of my business cards & gave it to her.

I'm thinking I'm in the clear though, how many people would you call, sight unseen.. If all you had to go on was what one of your parents thought of them? She's studying at Pitt to be a veterinarian, plays the piano.. etc, etc, etc.

It was a blast though, the mom can obviously hold it down, she'd get along with my family for sure. Still, I'm not at 100% that I even WANT the phone call. The mom has a computer that's giving her headaches, she tells me she might call herself, to have me take a look at it.

I cut my grass Sunday, & that gave me a lot of time to think about the goings on in my life. I finished the grass & texted this one person, told them I'd had enough of them & would cease to be in contact from that point forward. Man, that didn't go over like I'd hoped it would. Why do some people have feelings? Anyhow, it was a fabulous weekend.

Next weekend, my calendar is clear, but that usually means nothing. The two weekends after that are jammed full of things. the weekend of the 30th I'm going to a concert in Philadelphia, & hitting Eastern State Penitentiary for there "Terror Behind the Walls" Link here it's supposed to be the number one haunted house in America. Should be a good time.

 

I won't lose sleep either way. She calls, maybe I make a friend... Maybe not. She doesn't call, I am unchanged. I just like having things to look forward to. It seems like (at least for October) I've always got something. My family is notorious for last minute gatherings. Almost to where it's odd not to have something going on somewhere over a weekend.

I keep finding long lost friends on this facebook site, it's awesome. Even if it only takes a day or two to catch up and talk, it's cool. I just found this girl I met, only once. She was from Canada, and we were at the same amusement part.. about 14 years ago. My friend and I rode rides with her and her friend. We exchanged contact info & went along with our lives.

We use to write and call one another, prior to my having email. Now, I hope we'll be in touch for a while again. I've met lots of people from my past. I still have no complaints. I'm going to have to come up with some more goals though, enough of this floating around, I'm excited for the holidays.
