Mike Rowe is Da Man.

had carrots. I am thinking of half a pb sandwich.

Tell the K-bug to use latex or other tight fitting gloves. secure hold, but she doesn't have to feel the sliminess.

I just watched 2 shows of mission organization. I realized a few things - 1) when we did our bedroom closet, we really did do a lot. 2) no one seem s to realize how much work it is to clean up a disorganized mess. 3) I will never quite acheive what they do on these shows in one fell swoop. Painting, new furniture , etc Doesn't really arrive that fast- unless there is a major donation. 4)however, I am fairly good at this organization thing. It is very strange how many people don't even understand the basics ( what is the pupose of this room? gorup like things together and some things do not need to live with you forever)

I agree with K-bug. I hate slimy chicken, too.

We ordered deep dish pizza for dinner. It was so good.

Sorry, Suzi, that was a post'n'run. Still painting.

Monday deadline.

Tired.

No problem, Pete. I'll just lean here until you notice.

Huh? Who said that?

Okay, no more internet for me tonight. Probably.

beth, I realize how much work it is to clean up a disorganized mess, because I still haven't managed to do it! I do all I can at once, and by the time I have the energy to get back to it, more mess has arrived. Also, I think I'm just not very good at it.

Mike Rowe and Dirty Jobs fascinates me. Recently he was catching snakes. Barehanded. Getting bit a lot. (Nonpoisonous snakes, but still.) And cursing. It was funny. Poor thing. Funny how much one learns from that show, too.

I'm exhausted, but I can't stay asleep because each time I lay down there is too much pain.

I'm with K-Bug on not liking to touch slimy chicken.

Beth, I am impressed with your mad organizing skills. Even when I do manage to clean up, I am never very organized.

Chez Zmayhem played Emmett's new MLB edition of Monopoly tonight. (Giants as Board Walk, Red Sox as Park Place, A's as the highest Green property). It was an epic contest that lasted four hours, and at some point or another each of us was back-to-the-wall yet fought back to a position of dominance.

It see-sawed back and forth, Emmett hoarding his money and then building up one corner of hotels that kept yielding big payoffs. JZ's four monopolies could not sustain her in the end. Ultimately I prevailed by building up an impassable Blue, Green and Yellow corner that ate away Emmett's reserves, until he landed on SF Giants (Boardwalk) and was a mere $100 short (after all mortgages and Hotel cashings).

We were all very shocked to see that it was 11pm. JZ took solace in the baby's cuteness after her ouster. Even if I hadn't won, it would've been the best Monopoly game I ever played. Just because the "lead" (such as it is in Monopoly) changed hands so many times.

Of course, winning made it a lot easier to declare it Best Game Ever.

That's impressive Hec. I am always impressed at a Monopoly game that actually ends. I haven't played in forever, because of the long hour commitment involved. We have a Family Guy monopoly set in the closet that is begging to be played.
