Whatcha' doin', mom? HUH? Whatcha' doin'?

Disagree. I know that look, because I where it myself most of the time:

"Got any cookies?! !! !!"

But, they are cuter than me.

Sure, take away any fantasies I have about my importance in their eyes! I'm just the cookie maker!

Right now it's 10:45 AM in Pennsylvania, Usually I'm up at 3:30 AM on a Saturday because of work.
But now we have a holiday on Monday so I got to sleep in a little. Where I work there is no Saturday
overtime if it's a three day weekend. I just got back from breakfast at Norma's.

I have postponed the inevitable and must go to work! Godwit, I can't find that piece of music so if you can ever find a way to share it with me, I would be ecstatic! Have a lovely day!

NO!! !!

THERE IS NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT IN THIS WORLD THAN COOKIE MAKERS!! !

Uh . . . wait a secky . . .

COOKIE GIVERS!! !!

I am absolutely certain of that.

Well, that's not the best way to start you holiday weekend, but perhaps the breakfast will be the beginning of better things to come.

Wow! It's later than I thought. I've only just started my second coffee and I've been up since 1 AM.

Well, dear patrons, I must be off, but the buffet brunch-lunch is now being served. So, enjoy . . .



I'll just walk out over this way . . .



YUM!

oh, AS IF they're going to be reading the text on that page!

ok, perhaps eventually they will.

Why?

oh my.

how old was the woman, how old the child? i'm assuming this was a deliberate exit, and not a violent end (well, i'm hoping that's the case). and not a medical fluke of nature.

anyone who thinks bringing up a child is an easy task has obviously not done it.

may she finally have rest and peace, no matter what the means of her leaving.

hopefully the child is young enough that it will all fade and the parting won't be as painful.

Nan's back!

Decided to just run as far as I could, then walk back. On the way back I saw hundreds of easter tiger swallowtails.

A bunch of buzzards circled me as well. Shoo! Off with you. No one made the "Bring out your dead!" call. I'm not dead yet!! ! I'm feeling much better, really!! !

NAN! I hadn't opened that link before because I don't want to learn to swear in any language! But, then your set-up was soooo intriguing to me that just I naïvely touched that link and . . .

YIKES!

I shut that down as fast as I could, and I'm still recovering!

I agree with nannarob!

Because now I'm hearing Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 . . . (I can't help it!) . . . and I'm starting to feel like a scary old movie creature . . . and I'm getting this craving for a little affection . . . and a longing for a couple of really cool ankles . . . among other really . . . ohhhhhh . . .

Next I'll get that overwhelming urge, like I always get (I can't help it!), to go brush my teeth. Yes! How I would love to have done that test for Dazzledent Toothpaste to make sure The Girl's breath (among other things) was "kissing fresh". . . ahhhhhhhhh . . .

But now I really need to run an errand for someone, and I can hardly walk! DRATS!

whatzamatter with my back? what's this sudden fascination with my back, anyway?

pretty butterflies.

change antiperspirant or aftershave? look for the fine print on the label and make sure it doesn't say "caution: may attract scavengers" or anything.

it was 106F in the shade on our second-floor balcony yesterday by 2pm, reporteth the kid. it's already in the 90s and it's only like 10:00am. fortunately, our elderly a/c unit in the livingroom wall is wheezing away still, so we'll be out there most of the day where it's cool. we slept out there on the floor last night, too. it was too hot to stay in the back part of the house where the bedrooms (and the computer) are.

might grab a pizza to bring home (no way i'm heating up the kitchen today) after we go over to the library in a bit to get some new books. need some new reading material since i won't be computering for many of the hours in this long weekend. have finished the one i grabbed last time ("Food in the Ancient World" by Wilkins and Hill - don't know why, it was there on the shelf by the checkout, so....) while waiting for the kid to pick up her knitting books. she got a book out of the library right after her seizure/hospital thing and decided to learn to knit. she finished, except for the zipper, an aran-islands type knotwork sweater, with a hood on it, last night and now needs a new project. it really came out well - especially for a first try. i can't knit - the yarn just knots up and wads up and any sweater i made would be suitable for quazimoto. but the kid has the talent. she's an artist.

we have a nice, decent little library not far away. well stocked, with a more esoteric collection than the generic stuff you usually find in a public library. they've got a really good history section. before the food book i read one on the edwardians. might go that route - see what else they have. only sad thing is that they've had to cut the hours at the libraries back so much. we got there a couple of weeks ago to drop off some overdue stuff only to find a couple of kids sitting forlornly out on the steps waiting for a ride home - place closed earlier than it used to and they didn't get their research projects done. hope it's open by the time the kid wakes up today.

ya'll have fun.

Wow! I've never seen more than a few on migration. However, I did once see thousands of Monarch Butterflies clinging to trees on Nantucket after a storm. It was incredibly awesome.

Thanks for that, Chuck!

It was just the image I needed. BYE!

HEY, ~I~ dint post it. I merely commented on it. You'll have to thank our other creative language person for the original post and the educational experience.

Irish Gaelic is much easier than Welsh Gaelic anyway. You do know that the Welsh are infamous for raiding the English, all over the years?

Stole consonants. Just look at their road signs - it'll prove it.




Why?
