Timelies all!

Urg. It's cold and rainy here. Took Mr. S out to playgrounds and general walking earlier, but he will not actually nap.(as opposed to demanding I put blankets on him, while he chatters and wiggles around.)

Did I mention that Gary had to leave at stupid o'clock for a business trip? And that my parents are still here, but basically no help?

In that same vein, David, H and I were in Michael's for some craft doodad or other, and they had plastic dinosaurs on the end cap. H couldn't resist and picked up a couple.

"This land is a a good land. We will call it...this land."

"I think we should call it *your grave!*" (dino attacks other dino)

"Ack! Ah, nooo, no, no!" (with appropriate snacking noises)

Guy in the middle of the aisle looking for a similar doodad *cracks up* and cackles, pokes his head around the corner and gives H the thumbs up.

Sweet pics, bt! So fun to watch the buffista sprog growing up

Too tired for a bunch of words, wanted to say hi.

::waves back:: Hi, -t!

hi, -t!

I had a really nice day. Got up early and went hiking with a friend and the beast, and then skipped a chorus practice because the beast rolled in fresh cow poop and had to be washed. Then did some stuff around the house, and then my sister picked me up to go to dinner.

Last year, my big sister had an overhead fan installed in her bedroom because menopause. Except during the winter, the remote for the fan stopped working. So last weekend, I spent about an hour researching the fan and the remote, and eventually found a troubleshooting guide, and spent 10 minutes trying new settings on the remote, until I got it working. Which basically saved Sister $300 to bring in an electrician.

So she took me out to dinner tonight as a thank you. And it was one of the best meals I've had in a while. Super-tasty endive salad, and then I had an amazing pork chop with bourbon glaze and parsnip puree and sauteed apples. And then a fabulous goat cheese custard with strawberry and rhubarb. I am replete, and happy.

I hope everyone here is having a really good evening. Mwah.

That sounds delicious, Consuela!

I had a lovely weekend (also took Friday off) with my bestie and lots of seeing other friends, but now Monday is that much more annoying.

Yum, great payment for tech support.

I filed an extension for my taxes. Wells Fargo, or as we call it WTF bank, sent me a 1099 Misc for "income" that made no sense. I called and the research dude said generally vendors get them, which I am not. I also got a mortgage interest paid to them form, which is true. They still haven't managed to figure out why this was sent so I can't file my taxes until they void the thing. It would be fine if they actually wanted to pay me what they claimed they did, but I suspect that won't happen.

ION, I am researching photo booth software and printers because the VW bus photo booth is $800 for 3 hours and I ain't doing that.

Quiet here today.

I'm actually working, which is WAY more boring than posting here.
