Natter 75: More Than a Million Natters Served
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Up at 7 on a Saturday for A/C repair appt? Yes
Call at 8:15 that appt is cancelled due to company only sending half the parts they need? Yes
Trying to not get super grumpy about this injustice.
Coffee made, dishes washed, and I've cleared off half the late night tslk show monologues from TiVo.
Nail appt at 10.
I guess I could go back to bed for an hour. I could also shower and make try to cute myself up.
What to do for the rest of the day? Goal is to spend no money.
It's me waiting for Elijah.
I saw your pictures, so assuming he showed and I am sure he was also impressed.
But the only way to get better is to go to stuff like this. So I go and get depressed.
This is the way DH trains his basketball teams. In the summer he has them play against men's leagues where they get slaughtered week after week. Then during season when they play against equal teams they have that knowledge and experience. It is painful, but a valid way to improve.
Jesse! That sounds like so much fun. Yay for good times.
Today I am pouring coffee down then headed to a wedding planning luncheon. Whee! My knee is ever so grateful to not go to exercise class this morning. I talked to the trainer and may do more elliptical and less rowing machine. The treadmill is no issue, but my knee really hates the rower. We'll see.
I've cleared off half the late night tslk show monologues from TiVo.
Still getting a fair amount of my news from the late night shows. Easier to take that way.
Happy seders, everyone.
Matt, how's your dad?
I'm having mom annoyance this morning, thanks to a certain teenager. It does not go well with my sinus headache.
It is totally better to be the worst dancer on the planet (and there is some evidence that this is precicely what
I
am) than to be the best at sitting there unmoved by the music.
Awesome, Jesse!
Wheee, Laura! Wedding planning!
I have fully embraced the "dance like no one's watching" aphorism, even when performing. Don't tell my troupe.
Now sitting at a coffee shop trying some new-to-me thing that's basically a divided shit glass with hot espresso on one side and cold cream on the other that you drink all at once. I kinda like it, but I don't think I need to make it a habit. Off to saunter Mt Wanda soon.
Timelies all!
Quiet day here. After lunch Gary will take Mr. S on a Toys R Us and Carter's run while I try to see if I can use Bluetooth to play stuff from my iPAD on my car's stereo.(My car has no CD player, and I am going to be doing the drive to Toronto for FKO with Mr. S)
I haven't had a random night like that in years.
So great! Very serendipitous.
The NY Auto Show is usually during Passover, so DH goes to JAWS--the Jewish Auto Writers Seder at Katz's deli. This year he sat next to Jamie Kitman--who is an auto writer and the manager of They Might Be Giants. The fact that we are hug fans came up and Jamie said next time they come to Detroit, call me and I'll get you house seats. SWEET.
He gets home today from NYC and I am very much looking forward to it. Been a little tough this week with him gone and me ealing with planning my mom's service.
That is hard, Scrappy. At least Jason's absence is leading to future good times?
I feel like I've been running around all day, and it's true I left the house at 9:30 and just sat down now, after dying eggs and a carrot cake, but there was a massage in the middle there.
Making the eggs was a total cluster that included multiple raw eggs broken on the floor and multiple cracked eggs in the steamer, but I did end up with nine good ones. Phew.
