That 4 looks good on you
Good morning Andi. Got a long bike ride planned for today?
Probably not. It’s about to storm and there are more storms predicted. Plus I’ve got errands to run and I’m going over to my sister’s tonight. So I’ll probably end up just walking with the dogs today.
You got some major slacking on tap today?
No I had big plans yesterday, but none came about. So today I’ll try to get stuff done that I put off. That is unless a nap hits me before I get going.
Ugh, I have a chocolate hangover big time. Why do I eat chocolate when I know it does this to me?
Good morning early morning people. Looks like a beautiful but kinda hot day here.
Morning SN. Chocolate hang over? Don’t think I’ve ever had one.
It’s supposed to get up to the high 90’s here today. We’re getting to point of we could use some rain.
Chocolate gives me a big headache. You would think that would be enough to make me avoid it at all costs…but no.
My son is graduating from HS today at 2:00 which should be the hottest part of the day. Darn.
You know even with my headaches, chocolate has never been a problem.
A high school graduation, oh joy. π Did you get something to wear for it yesterday?
No I didn’t. I hate hate hate shopping for a specific thing because I can never find it. When I’m just shopping to get out of the house I see lots of things that I like. But when I’m pressed for time I come up empty. I’m afraid I’ll wear the same white linen pants and black top that I wore to court this week.
‘good morning’ then.
It’s pouring here and in the 50s.
I should warn you that you need to bring an emergency chocolate supply when you come. Jim loves it but he doesn’t buy it.
I’m hoping to break my addiction by then. If I don’t have it for a week or so I lose my craving. It’s getting to that week that’s the problem.
Just the half and half. And none of that fat free stuff.
I just went and changed the reminder of my calendar so that it says ‘get half-and-half and none of that fat free stuff’ — so you’re covered.
How can fat free half and half even exist? It doesn’t seem possible.
Better living through chemistry.
Happy Saturday to everyone!!!!!The convention is a lot of fun and a lot of walking. Who ever designed the Fort Worth Convention center tied a piece of chalk to a goat and kicked the critter and put the hall ways and rooms where ever the chalk line went. I am actually glad today is the last day and we get to vote on party chairperson later today. There is a blue star breakfast at 8 am that I will go to and then figure out the rest of my day from there. Went to a few different parties last night and heard many candidates speak- some of them severl times as they hit all the caucuses. LOL
I am so envious of your energy. And good morning back at you!
LOL I think the energy level is depleting quickly. I feel every second of my 47 and 3/4 years today and my feet hurt. LOL I have to decide which shirt to wear this am and take two others to wear or change into later in the day. Trust me when I say that no matter how light your laptop and bag are by the end of the day you wish you had a cabanna boy carrying the thing for you.
I often wish I had a cabana boy and it has nothing to do with carrying my laptop. π
You and me both and I saw quite a few that would have made me forget the convention completely. LOL
Ah, Refinish, you’re like the perverted best friend I never had.
LOL well when you see some hunk with a perfect smile and a but that would just fit into your palms if you walked up behind him……. I have to share a secret that me and my friends have a theme and it is Balls. You try and work that term into almost any conversation and with my dirty mind you can quess the out come most of the time. LOL
that your dedication to politics has reasonable limits.
LOL well, I would forget it for a least a few minutes untill the damn cell phone rang again. LOL
Do something like this again and you’ll have to get one of the wheelie laptop cases. π
Trust me if I could get somewhere and get one today I would. I thought they looked goofy when I saw one a few months ago and now I wish I had gotten anyway.
Good morning Refinish. It would seem like everyone should be tired there, just trying to keep up with you. π
You mean they aren’t?
LOL they call me on my cell and ask ” Where you at?” LOL
One of the parties last night was at an actual brewery and it was really unusual. The beer was really good and I am not really a beer drinker. It is called Rahr Brewery. The lack of ac was a bit disconcerting but the large fans and the energy of the people was great.
Now I could handle a party in a brewery.
An inexhaustible supply of beer. It only a dream. π
Well, there red beer was wonderful and ebveryone said the dar and light were great also.
Geeze how can you go to a brewery without trying everything they have? I have to admitt I probably wouldn’t remember ever beer I tried, but it would be fun trying. π
LOL because I had already had 7 double absolute and tonics before we got to that party. LOL
Yes I could see how that would be a problem. To much volume and to little effect.
LOL We did go to a wonderful steak house down in teh stockyard area of Fort Worth for dinner last night. I had a 10 oz ribeye that was cooked to perfection- which means blood rare or cold centered.
Sorry I never could hand my steaks that way. I need them a little more done.
another one of my many quirks. I was the only one at the table who ordered mine that way.
LOL Morning FamilyMan!!! Well besides attending two cauces and visiting with many candidates I know, I have been networking or trying to with many different people from all over the state. I have had to explain what Stonewall Democrats is about to so many people that I feel I am a first grade teacher. LOL
Refinish the teacher, that’s a concept. With all your energy you would probably be a good one.
I actually did teach two summers in college and wish in hindsight that I had gone ahead and got an education minor with teaching certification.
I’ll say it before Andi does: go ahead and do it now!
What SN said.
I might as they have actually started offering college course where I work. I guess I could starting back into school, keep blogging, designing, and doing all my political and civil rights stuff. I can always forget to sleep ever again. LOL
I didn’t think you slept as it is now. π
Refinish doesn’t sleep…he waits.
You’re making Refinish sound like a character in a Stephen King novel. π
I feel like one sometimes.
It’s from that whole “Chuck Norris” thing.
My favorite:
Chuck Norris grinds his coffee with his teeth, and boils the water with his own rage.
LOL There are better things to do with my teeth and I use my anger to fuel all the walking.
Chuck Norris has counted to infinity. Twice.
When Chuck Norris has sex with a man, it won’t be because he’s gay. It’ll be because he’s run out of women.
and now he does infomercails for exercise machines. LOL
Just means he has hit the pinnacle of movie stardom.
ROTFLMAO!!!!! He still looks good though.
oh trust me I dodn’t want chuck, but if he has a cousin who is gay….. LOL
I can’t move on to someone else until I’ve had some success with you.
Damn it.
when are you going to make an appointment to go to talk to someone McKimmon Center for Extension & Continuing Education?
I’m waiting until I’m 50 so I can attend the Encore Center for Lifelong Enrichment.
Wait until you 70 and you can sit in the ‘Depends’ section of the class room.
Next to you.
No I’ll be in the Depends/wheelchair section. π
Depends/wheelchair/oxygen tank section.
Yep that’ll be me. π
but look at this way, you can use my nagging as an excuse to keep on nagging FM about smoking — “but Andi does it to meeeee!!!”
Nice to know you’re at the top of the pecking order, huh?
Smoking? I have decided that I am going to raise funds for a tent for the smoker’s cauces in 08.
You just gave me a counter nag. π
ROTFLMAO!!!!
as you know only too well, two naggers are much more effective that one.
Of course you’re right, but a counter nag is better than no nag.
Then again, I can always play the sympathy card for being nagged. Only problem is there is no sympathy here. π
ROTFLMAO!!!! Nagging just gets me set more in my wasy anyway.
You know it does me too. I sort of just plant my feet and get stubborn. π
LOL it does to most people or at least strong willed people and we all know everyone from the south has an onery streak in them anyway.
Nah, I think there are pretty much onery people everywhere. π
ROTFLMAO!!!!!Andi you have made me start appreciating nature more.
will be getting you out into it. π
I better eat some Crispix and start my day. Lots of laundry to do.
Enjoy. Stay away from the chocolate.
Can I send you mine?
This places has started with a BANG!
