Hi y'all! My "borrowed" internet at home has been down for the last few days---IDK what's up, I may actually have to go knock on their door and find out---which has led me to haul the laptop in to the library to take care of business, so am here I am ( Read more... )

Things have been a little up in the air for tomorrow's Girls' Day Out. Originally, we were going to meet in Viera, lunch at Panera and see "One for the Money" at the Rave. BigRed and I were emailing back and forth, and she mentioned a Mexican place called Moe's, which sounded interesting...a little negotiating with CF (third member of our wanna-be ( Read more... )

Laundry. Holy, crap, have I been doing a lot of laundry. Digging and washing and sorting and hanging and finding hangers! And more hangers! And more frickin' hangers and more frickin' laundry---yesterday, I was pulling stuff from down under the hanging bar that spans my garage. Found stuff that had fallen off hangers, stuff that had fallen off the ( Read more... )

J called me this afternoon and came by and took me to lunch. We sat around and talked for a couple hours after we'd finished eating. Dogs, mostly. She might have one lined up for us, and there are a couple doggy events coming up over the next few months ( Read more... )

Spent six hours running around with Mb today. She lunched me at Cracker Barrel---the special of the day was chicken and rice with two sides (Mine were green beans and baby carrots).

Much schmoozing was done; I've known her longer than anyone else in my life at this pooint...I had to think about it, but yeah. She came on the scene a ( Read more... )

Had a very nice time at B & A's...dinner was a ham, accompanied by mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole and herbed rolls. Simple, but oh-so-yummy ( Read more... )

My glorious trip to Tampa concluded with me being dropped off at my doorstep around 2PM. (Um, Brat? What ever happened to that second 12-pack of diet Pepsi? It never made it home with me.) Quite a letdown after the luxurious La Quinta ( Read more... )

I am gleeful, squeeful and doing Snoopy dances. One of my co-workers, a very sweet lady heretofore known as The Angel In the Next Row has commiserated with me about my situation, lack of a/c, back pain, etc., and today she told me she has a window a/c unit for me. She had gotten it as a back-up for a spare room at her house and never got around to ( Read more... )

I'm enjoying my vacation. ( Cut because I summarize the last three days at length )
