May the 4’s be with you
I guess I should think about getting my act together and getting dressed. Shouldn’t I?
You got company coming? if not stay in the robe. LOL
I’m meeting 2 adorable men for coffee. Of course one of them is only 10 months old and won’t be allowed any coffee. But he IS cute.
why not? My mom put coffeee in my formula to get me to drink it. LOL Might be why I am addicted to it now. LOL Hard to believe some of the stuff doictors told them to do back in the late 50’s.
when I was pregnant. Consoled myself with some study from Europe done that said it was fine. When my son was born I tracked down just about the only researcher who really knows much about what my son has. He was talking about the few times they have been able to diagnose in the womb and he said that they ask the woman to drink lots of caffeine because that tends to make the baby move a lot more and cuts down on the severity of the child’s contractures. My sons hands have done very very well, he was marveling at how well they formed and his ability to use them very well. I was able to reassure him verbally that even though we had no expert advice Joshua hadn’t missed the caffeine boat….he had his fair share! Life is too weird sometimes
I’m waiting for a break in the rain so I can take the dogs to see our creek pretending to be class 5 rapids.
don’t let Sniff try to shoot the rapids. After all I AM fond of him.
As if I have any ability to control anything he does.
ROTFLMAO!!!! My dogs would be in the creek
Ha. My boys would be in it!
Ha. My boys would be in it!
We are meeting the designers and affiliates at an Irish Pub at 12 and I am meeting friends for coffee around 10. Which shirt should I wear since I want to wear one of my designs.
with #3 — ’tis the season and all that. 🙂
St. Patrick’s Day parade is today in San Francisco (they have it the Sunday before the actual date so they can hope that everyone’s still sober) — it’s a wet one up there.
Packing the spouse off to take the folks to church today — got some mild sniffles and don’t want to risk spreading any narsty germs…I’ll use the peace and quiet time to get some assorted stuff done around here.
Sorry you have tyhe sniffles!!!
I wore #3 and had a blast!!!!
rain is ruining a plan to take Boo to Fairmount Park. Just try consoling him.
Lots of treats and playing inside.
Whats a little rain for a newf? Sounds like an owner issue to me. wimp
LOL the bad part would be getting blu dry afterwards. LOL
guilty as charged. However my newf is somewhat defective. He won’t go for a walk in a downpour, and if he hears the word rain he gets upset.
Plus, he is reluctant to swim. He loves the water but he takes convincing to go in over his head.
What kind of Newf is that?
what did you do to him when he was a puppy?
Poor Boo (the dog, not you)
and BTW Fairmount Park is the name of our racetrack, so for a few seconds I was thinking “I didn’t know they ALLOWED dogs at the track”. Then I realized you must mean a real park.
did you dunk him in the tub? LOL I had a beagle once who hated to get wet in any way and it was cause of having to be bathed ywice a week during an allergie breakout that was misdiagnosed.
It was a tough Pond week with people downloading a lot of pain. It feels good and cleansing but wow, its time for me to focus on the beauty of the garden of my life that I created in spite what some one else attempted to hurt me with. I have to go get another shade of paint for the bathroom. I painted it a sort of almond yesterday. It’s super strange. Stand across the house with the bathroom door open and see one wall and it looks completely fine, nice almond tone. Go in the same bathroom with four of the same walls and I don’t know if it is the color reflecting off of itself or what….but it looks like flesh…..it looks like doll skin, it is like being in a “skin room”. My husband and I have said “This Will Not Stand”……illegal wire tapping I guess is fine……but walls of flesh just crossed the line damn it!
I hope some people found release. I couldn’t read many of the dairies adn it brought back memories of working at a crisis line as a volunteer for many years. I was not in the right frame of mind for it this week so took the easy way out and skipped the dairies.
It was a tough week and although I read I didn’t comment. But sometimes a tough week turns into a good month or even year. Let’s hope all the effort heads us that way.
Too peachy or what? I had a bad terra cotta vs cantaloupe mistake a couple months ago.
You should have seen how many colors I tried for the bookcases, painting a posterboard to make sure I had the right ones…
as too the color, I have done the same thing before myself and wound up painting a room three times. LOL I finally gave up and textured the entire room with other colors to get rid of the weirdness underneath.
but when you stand in the middle of the room you feel like you are surrounded by skin…..after the mortician is done.
Ewww…
bright sky blue. But it is not too late. Many paint stores are still open, and you can correct that error.
I just painted our family room robin’s egg blue, and have accented it with a rich cocoa brown curtains and pillows. It looks really nice.
I would probably have put mango with robin’s egg blue, or red, I am trying to visualize cocoa brown with it but I think I do not love brown enough to do this.
But I will believe you if you say it looks good. It also depends on your family members, their hair and skin tones etc. You should probably try to keep your family room stocked with brown eyed blondes, I think that would look great!
I have blue-eyed blondes, and blue eyed brunettes….do you think that’s a bad combination?
It sounds like a very pretty combination! All that blue!
Since all of your eyes are covered by the walls, and the blonds have a contrast in the brown, maybe stick a red pillow or two behind a couple of your brunettes. Or maybe a red lampshade and keep a brunette next to it. Even a little red rug, if any of the brunettes are reclinables.
I think that you’ve been hiding this talent from all of us. You could do your own show on TLC. Something like ‘Ductape Fatwa’s Room Design for your Complexion’…and the only reliable reclinable happens to be a blonde; me.
I do not have any family members with colored eyes and hair.
I love those colors…
Here’s my not-yet-finished bookcase project (there’s another section that goes across above the windows):
I hope they’re finished tomorrow so the lights can go in Tuesday and I can put my furniture back where it goes.
Love, love, love that! Ok, does a TV go in the middle, or are you putting a cushion there for seating? I really need something like that for my family room.
The tv is going on the left on a swivel in the bookcase…I’m putting a cushion in the middle.
I have the same setup for the left side of the fireplace too (without the tv).
The cabin is going to feel almost upscale after they’re finished… 🙂
It was a release and an alert that this is another journey. It’s like standing out in the road naked for all to see so I had to sink back into my mind and make sure I was ready for this fight and journey. I am.
And I must say – that although for many it was hard to write… that must mean that for many… enough is enough. And I hope that means that more will be willing to fight and march.
I know that several are – the news just isn’t reporting it — big shocker, not.
Johnny was at the gas station after he had just put the new
on his big
when a
yankee with a large mug of coffeee walked up to him and said “I love the smell of
in the morning…I guess it’s going to rain.” Johnny told him to watch out for the
on the road north – out of town.
ROTFLMAO!!!!! This is too funny.
that’s great! We really did cover a wide range of topics didn’t we?
And now that there is a break in the rain, the dogs and I will go see if we can find a cooper’s hawk.
Life’s short, Converse hard.
We hit 100 comments in record time, I think!
I am going to go take my shower and start getting ready for my day. I am sure I will check in again after the shower. I really do want to know which shirt you think I should wear today. LOL
Wear the tie-dye one with the peace symbol on it….or maybe the one with “IMPEACH BUSH” on it…
It’s time for me to actually READ the paper that I picked up outdoors in the driveway that put me in the position to hear the Cooper’s hawks and get my binoculars and post in the EARLY Early Edition and get distracted by having too much fun in the cafe….
BY4NOW
ROTFLMAO!!!! None of those are my designs. I meant the ones listed above.
I like the “no beer?” one, if you want to attract attention!
I was thinking that one also since it is at an Irish Pub. LOL
the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team taking the gold yesterday. Afterwards he informed me that Women are gooder than Men and I still haven’t straightened that out yet. I know, I know……I’ll do it today.
You should absolutely straighten him out. Women are BETTER than men, not gooder. 🙂
At some things. LOL I know I just opened a big old can of worms and you know I am joking!!!
Well, obviously the women’s soccer team is “gooder”…er, better…. than the men’s…. 🙂
I am on my way out and will check in later today when I get home. Have a great Sunday!!!!!
California is now up and running, but it’s freezing in my office right now, so I will let this cafe go on for awhile before posting a new one.
Hi everyone, Happy Sunday.
Mother Nature to Flagstaff: Go on, spend another day in bed, you know you want to.
It’s hard to see scale in this picture but we’ve got a good 2 or 3 feet of new snow on the ground, banks up to 5 and 6 feet in the corners of parking lots already, and it’s coming down so hard outside right now that I can’t even see across the street.
Definitely better you than me. But you just stay inside and keep warm in those socks that SN loves so much.
I’m so fucking hot (and not at the thought of you naked in socks) and that snow looks so refreshing right now. I was sitting on the deck reading the paper..fine until about 10 until it got too hot and I got chased indoors. The temp. inside the house was up to nearly 80 so I closed all the blinds on the sunny side of the house. Still hot. I refuse to turn on the AC.
I feel like making snow angels right there outside your window.
Naked snow angels!
The weather is so chaotic anymore. We had no winter at all this year, only a few days where the temps were below freezing during the day. But our little mountain town depends a lot on tourism and the local ski resort, so this was hurting everyone, and I’m sure most folks are relieved to have the snow.
I hope you win whatever War of Stubborn you are playing with your AC.
I’ve just had one of those personal epiphanies where I realize that sensory memories have the ability to destroy the sensuality of even the most enticing erotic imagery.
Oops I think I just channeled you for a second. Back to me: it’s too fucking cold when it snows 2 feet to even think about doing naked snow angels.
I’ve just had one of those personal epiphanies where I realize that sensory memories have the ability to destroy the sensuality of even the most enticing erotic imagery.
omg do I really sound like that? No wonder everyone looks at me like they do…
I wanted to get out and play in the snow today, take pix of town all snowed over, but I’m just too damn tired. Of course, it’s still coming down out there so I probably have a few days to get some good shots. (None of them will be naked shots.)
Well, since I’m on dial-up, the channeling was probably somewhat distorted by noise on the line but I think it’s fair to say that your analytical chops are an order of magnitude above most folks. (And that’s why we love you even if you don’t go make naked snow angels — though if you do, you damn well better be wearing your socks.)
We only had one measley snowfall this entire winter, and today I’ve got the windows open for air (and because my south-facing bedroom gets very hot in the afternoons otherwise). Definitely shirt-sleeve weather here (though we may get some of that rain Booman was talking about later).
The snow is beautiful in the photo, though! Keep warm!
Well, this morning I woke up to the sound of hail pounding outside with the assistanceo 60mph winds. And here in KCMO were in a Tornado Watch until late tonight. But at least its warm, the sun is shining, and biesbol is on TV, Until the Jayhawks play! Thank God, no snow.
ExxonMobile says it’s just “weird weather” and not to worry.
AcK
We had snow and hail and sun here in Portland, OR. One day snow, the next day SUN. While my brother in Boston and 65 degree weather.
The birds are not knowing what to do.
ExxonMobil ::snort:: You always make me laugh.
Hey didja see I did one of those diaries? If you get bored later, and aren’t overwhelmed by the subject matter yet, you might dig it. I wasn’t around for yours (moving stuff had me running a little nuts last week), but I read it, it was awesome and it deepened the respect and admiration I have for you.
I love you!
Forget the green beer. Remember the bloodshed.

Just here in Portland.. CodePink will be doing this: (ahem) on the 18th I’m attending a hockey game. 🙂
I’m worried about Monday… that could get scary. I will be safe. But I will be out there.

Hello Everybody.
It might be an early night for me.
I am so worn out. I can’t believe I worked this hard.
I washed, dried, and folded a load of clothes.
I then rested and took a nap.
I’ve got to stop working so hard! Tomorrow I’ll conquer the dry cleaning.
Geez, I hope you’re okay! You should know better than to toil that hard on the Lord’s day.
