Eleventh Thread: Wedding Edition: The Hobbit Hole XI - No One Admitted Except on Wedding Business!
New verse:

Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Wish we had trash pick up...
Speaking of which, I should probably flylady the basement soon. *sigh* So many things that I don't really want to get rid of, but if they've been down there since I moved in, I obviously don't *neeeed* them. But I'm a sentimental fool, and I have a hard time letting anything go. That and I hate to throw out anything that isn't broken, even if I don't use it...I still have things like tupperware containers with no lids (can't use 'em except in the house), and the dish set I had before someone gave me the ones I'm using.
Started out cranky. Wife hit me up again as I was leavin' (at 6:10) about that durn socialist health study fer Jr's class. I told her ~ again ~ that our family medical history is none of their bidness. She says Jr. wants to do it 'cause otherwise he'll have to do work from the textbook [shudder] with the regular teacher. Ha...like after the last two years the thought of Jr. havin' to do extra classwork would concern me. (I checked, it'll be different, but a comparable level of work). Anyways...we ain't signin' it.
Last night I gots another call on that stoopid Science Fiction Book Club account. We gotta go to Kentucky this weekend, but when I get back I'm gonna start searchin' for others who have had similar experiences. I can't be the only one...
BUT, today is getting better. The gym was good. And the kidney sold, so I can get my dental work all done.
Just found out a friend of mine (former candidate I worked for) was named a circuit court judge. That'll pi$$ off some RATS.
And that's a good thing.
Remember that lid I found? Did I tell you about finding that lid to one of my little bowls in a thrift store? I'd had the bowl for years and it had a very distinct lid and I was just walking by, looked down and saw the exact lid!
It was like five cents and the thrift store lady just gave it to me.
I got over the sentiment part by thinking of who I might bless with the stuff that I don't use. I used the same method with Joshua, who is very attached to everthing he has, even though it's so much he can't play with any of it! I just reminded him that the train set he never plays with would be such a blessing to someone else. He was almost enthusiastic after that.
I've only once or twice went to get something and remembered I've given it away...out of all that tons of stuff I had hauled off!
'morning!
Good morning! Tired here this morning, hobbitses shouldn't go out late to fairs and concerts on work nights ;~D
Did I miss any mini-dramas yesterday? scarcely have time to catch up this morning bfore I have to go!
Trouble is...most of what I have isn't something I could even give away. It's not nice stuff at all. So...it'd be throwing it away.
Which seems wasteful, even if it's things I'll never ever use!
But I really should just bite the bullet and do it. And then reward myself in the end with a new bookcase for in the bedroom...
Hi! Is the caffeine IV needed this morning?
I wuz gonna tell ya - I did make it to Wal-mart, and got bunches of bulbs! Or a couple big bags, in any case. I figure if at least SOME of them come up, it'll be worth it - they were only five dollars for hugh bags. Now to get those in the ground before it freezes! I don't have a good track record there...
Not aware of any HH mini-dramas.
"Corin" the sitcom gone horribly wrong opens a new season next week.
(and....BWAHAHAHAHAHAH...just found out that Jr. and I both got "dancing" roles in the Christmas production...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA)
Back later...I think I'm at work...
I am thinking so. At least I think that's what I am thinking. I am not thinking to much at all yet.
I revised my letter to not say anything at all about the choppers circling...just says that we wave.
I gotta go too...school day has begun.
Dancing dwarves!
Yah...don't hurt yourself!
Why does that bring to mind the "Camelot" number in Monty Python's Holy Grail?
We got stickers and buttons and stuff.... lots of people were seen around wearing Bush stuff.
We got a big Dino Rossi sign from them to put in the pasture too.... he's a republican running for governor.
2J: may stop at Braun's... fer the first time since we went with you and the jedis...
The biggest crowd was at the GOP booth! YIPPEE!!
And in Washington State no less. Could this be the turning of the tide? Hmmmm....
I'm swamped here at work today, so I can't stay. The system is even slower today and somehow I need to get 15 payrolls done. *shakes head*
Pray for me folks....
Biggest booth and biggest crowd.
I think it is a good sign :~D
I know you have your squabbles with Jr., but they are going to pale in comparison to such FUN shared memories from things like the Christmas productions!
Just now checking in. The morning has been all kinds of crazy. Won't get to freep much today. :(
