May the 4’s flower for you
And many, many more.
It’s not too early for some birthday cupcakes, is it?
Happy Birthday Olivia!!!!!! I hope the day is filled with joy and love and is onlt the begining of a many years of happiness and success!!!!
I know you’re off by now — hope you have a great day! And that is a lovely graphic! :*
I love the idea of cupcakes for breakfast — especially if they’re pink and decorated w/ flowers. :*
Wishing you everything good, with a cherry on top:
Morning Dear Froggies!!!! Sorry The live blogging didn’y go well last night.- only one entry. LOL The first event was slow getting started. I actually ahd to leave before anything happened but did get a chance to do some networking. LOL The second event was a great group I belong to but was candidates running for Austin City Council and I have seen them all at 3 other events already in the last two months and was not inspired to post about it. LOL
Even though the live blogging didn’t work out, it sounds like you had a productive evening as usual.
Morning!!! Yes I had a great time and there are more events coming. LOL
There will be other events where you can live blog your little heart out. 🙂
Next gadget – Camera.
LOL Yes the camera will probably be this evening so I can use it Friday night and Saturday at yet more meetings. LOL
How’s everyone this morning?
Morning FM.
I hope you get a birthday present today and your AC is fixed.
Morning Andi. I will be celebrating just as much as Olivia today if the AC is fixed.
I love your Happy Birthday graphics.
How’re you today?
I’m fine. How’s by you (besides the AC)?
I’m very fond of the Olivia books so I couldn’t resist.
Glad to hear your fine. I’m doing fine.
Hope Olivia drops by before going to work.
Morning!!!!! Doing great as always!!! and hope you are.
I’m doing fine. I’ve still got to figure a way to get some of that abundant energy you’ve got. It just ain’t right you having so much energy.
ROTFLMAO!!!! I have no idea where it comes from. I am skipping an event tonight so that I can spend some time with the dogs and hopefully start back working on my web site. LOL
Good for you Refinsh. I’m glad to hear that.
Hey, FM. It’s not really morning here. I’m just up because I can’t go back to sleep. Aside from that all is well!
Had the same problem. In my time I’ve been up since 3:15 am.
I’m glad to hear all is well. Look at it this way. With being up so early, you’ll be able to enjoy numerous naps during the day. Oh what a wonderful day you have to look forward to. 🙂
Yikes! I hope this doesn’t mean we should start cutting back on the daytime naps so that we can sleep better at night! That would really suck.
No, a true slacker can sleep a full night and still have numerous naps during the day.
The beauty of slacking is do what you want, when you want.
Well a full night’s sleep would be a first for me, since I have never slept a full night in my entire life that I can remember. I am a life long insomniac. But now that I am a slacker-in-training, anything can happen!
It’s nice to see you but I’m sorry to see you here so early.
Guess we know that a nap will be somewhere in your slacking plans of the day.
Do I remember right that Sunday is go-home day?
Hi back to you, AndiF! I’m fooling around with photobucket and sipping brandy with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind playing in the background. I just hope I can feel sleepy before it starts to get light outside!
And my day is complete with FMem! :*
Olivia no day is complete with FM. Ego, what ego?
Just glad to add to your happy day, youngster. 😛
Should have been no day is complete without FM.
I’ll learn to read what I write one day.
Morning CG. How’s it going this am?
Pretty good. Up early, wanting to finish my work projects today so I can goof off tomorrow…the joy of working from home.
How about you?
Morning!!!!
Good morning, refinish! I see you have plans for a “quiet” evening at home with the pups tonight. 🙂
LOL Yes… I need one!!!!
Pretty good. Hoping the AC will be fixed today.
Goof off tomorrow. You are learning.
I’ll have you into total slackhood before you know it.
If you can figure out a way for folks to just send me the check (or better yet, direct deposit it!) without my actually having to do any work in return, let me know…I have a feeling I could be the star slacker then.
If I could do that then I would be the Slacker King. A post I do not aspire to. Sort of sounds like work.
See, that’s what’s nice about aspiring to be a star slacker…it’s a job that sounds like it comes with bon-bons and eyeshades.
Yes, lots of responsibility. To be avoided at all costs! Besides, I think GWB already has the title of Slacker King.
Thus the reason I do not aspire to the job.
Ughh. I mention the word job. Phewwhhh
Love the dragon, CG!
I love the dragon’s reverse candles — blowing on vs out! :*
Everyone have a great day!!!!!!
Have a good day at work Refinish and slack when possible.
HAPPY…………………………
BIRTHDAY……………………
OLIVIA……………………….
WHO INSPIRES US ALL!
Beautiful MM and what fitting presents.
Thanks, FM. I love taking pictures of flowers and now I think of Olivia’s exquisite photographs as something to aspire towards.
I think Olivia has started a movement that will draw millions into its fold.
I know who one of her star pupils is. 🙂
Defintely! I started taking flower photos way back when I first got my digital for Christmas in 2002. I was working at UCLA at the time and started taking my camera to the Farmer’s Market in Westwood on Thursday afternoons, since there were so many interesting subjects. I took pictures of everything but the flower photos came out the best and then I started going to Farmer’s Markets all over town just to take pictures of the flowers. Farmer’s Markets are the best place, since the light is so good. I have thousands of flower photos, but they are all on my old computer back in LA, and I still haven’t figured out how to transfer them.
About what time are you leaving today and about when will you be back?
I’m assuming this question is for FM!
OK I’ll leaving about 10:00 and back about 12:00.
How about, then, I keep track of this cafe and open another cafe if it fills up so you don’t have worry about it until you get back?
Sounds good to me. Thanks.
your house guests or have they adjusted to the lack of ac?
They left last night, but will be back next week.
I found out some stuff last night I didn’t know, so now I feel like a jerk about complaining.
Ya’ll give so many hugs here, my inate whinning ability is not kept in check. 🙂
Beautiful bouquet!
Thanks, AndiF! I thought of your logo today on my way to Julia Pfeiffer State Beach, since there is a natural arch there, but unfortunately I never got to see it, since the beach was closed.
I’m going to try to go back to sleep and will see all you froggies in the REAL morning!
Good Night or Morning MM.
These are beautiful! Thank you! :*
You are most welcome {{{{{{olivia}}}}}}! Hope you have a wonderful day filled with fun and lots of love!
You’ve been chatty this morning.
Happy Birthday young Olivia!
Just getting in the birthday celebration mood (even though) we are missing the birthday girl so far. 🙁
I just want you to know. Check you em…
Me scared, Hah.
:*
You are the best — {{{}}}s and :*s to everyone today!
(Piggylove in honour of Andi’s Olivia in the banner.)
You have a good, very happy day.
Remember – Slack.
I don’t know, it looks like a pink cow to me. 🙂
All I have to do is say you aren’t here and you’ll show right up!
Glad the birthday girl could make it to our low key celebration.
After your cryptic emails last night. Thank you for keeping it all low key – LOL.
must have been from FM. I just made cryptic comments in the cafe. Either way:
Me cryptic? The most cryptic thing I’ve ever said was,
There are many paths leading to one outhouse. 😛
Actually that’s not cryptic, it’s more profoundly, uhm, gross.
I meant to type comments, not emails — I was just checking email at the time so I must have had that on my brain! I’m off to work now — I’ll check in later today b/c I have no meetings! Yay. {{{{{Andi}}}}
May you one day travel to the Himalayas and bring back photos of these:
In the meantime, have a fun and chocolate-filled celebration 🙂
Thank you for the beautiful blue flowers Duct! And of course, the best dark chocolate for today. :*
I’ve got to get ready for the day.
I’ve got faith the AC man will be here today. Of course it’s supposed to be 10 degrees cooler today.
I’ll check back later.
Happy birthday, Olivia!
Thanks boran2! :*
Bappy B-Day Olivia!!!
Thank you Boo! :*

Cabin Girl – Love the dragon!
Tea of the day Earl Grey White Tip, mellow with a fantastic bouquet.
Thank you!!! :*
Hate to have to make this quick, but I’m at work, but still wanted to send our greetings to you and all in the FBC on this very special day! Just a little something with “candles” that I put together last night… I’m no graphics whiz, but I do what I can. 🙂
I know, the flowers are white, but the lettering is pink!
Have a great day, my friend! See you in the lounge tonight, perhaps..
And a cheery hello to all the other froggies doing such great birthday duty for Olivia today! You folks are the best!
That is wonderful IVG — they are beautiful and I love it. And you even went w/ that “ghastly” pink. ;)I hope your day goes by speedily so you can get home to your garden and your furbabies. :*
at the Big Orange, please…
A little [hilarious] reading matter….
By James Sherman
(We take you now to the Oval Office where Condoleeza Rice, the security
advisor enters.)
George: Condi! Nice to see you. What’s happening?
Condi: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.
George: Great. Lay it on me.
Condi: Hu is the new leader of China.
George: That’s what I want to know.
Condi: That’s what I’m telling you.
George: That’s what I’m asking you. Who is the new leader of China?
Condi: Yes.
George: I mean the fellow’s name.
Condi: Hu
George: The guy in China.
Condi: Hu.
George: The new leader of China
Condi: Hu.
George: The Chinaman!
Condi: Hu is leading China.
George: Now whaddya’ asking me for?
Condi: I’m telling you Hu is leading China.
George: Well, I’m asking you. Who is leading China?
Condi: That’s the man’s name.
George: That’s who’s name?
Condi: Yes.
George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of China?
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the Middle
East.
Condi: That’s correct.
George: Then who is in China?
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Yassir is in China?
Condi: No, sir.
George: Then who is?
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Yassir?
Condi: No, sir.
George: Look, Condi I need to know the name of the new leader of
China. Get me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone.
Condi: Kofi?
George: No, thanks.
Condi: You want Kofi?
George: No.
Condi: You don’t want Kofi.
George: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk.
And then get me the U.N.
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N.
Condi: Kofi?
George: Milk! Will you please make the call?
Condi: And call who?
George: Who is the guy at the U.N?
Condi: Hu is the guy in China.
George: Will you stay out of China?!
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.
Condi: Kofi.
George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the
phone. (Condi picks up the phone.)
Condi: Rice, here.
George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should
send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East. Can you get Chinese
food in the Middle East?
Hang on, I’ll be right back. I have to go pick up the cake . . .
Family Man will be opening one in the next hour or so.
Hey I’m back. Give me a little bit and I’m going to open the next cafe.
Don’t worry about it Omir — I’m sure you’ve got more pressing matters. It’s the thought that counts. Really. 😉
Did everybody treat you low key at work?
Only a few knew (4) and we just got back from lunch.
How’s your day going?
Just fine, other than I’m suffering from indecision. I can’t decide if I should keep waiting for FM to get back or go ahead and open another cafe. I’m kind of inclined to wait since it’s the very quiet part of the day.
FM must have heard you too like me this am — your voice reaches us even in offline life. 🙂
Oh it’s no trouble at all. I’m sure I’ve got it here somewhere . . .
I hate to say it, but the AC men have finally shown up. Well I don’t hate to say.
But I have to clear out and I don’t know when I’ll be back. Hopefully in an hour or two.
Andi If you could throw up another cafe for me I would appreciate it.
Thank.
Not going to throw up — even for you. Sorry, couldn’t resist. Yes, I’ll do another cafe.
Good luck with the AC.
come on and celebrate in the new cafe.
