Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Bless his heart, he was sure funny!
Tell him that I said "Nice try, bub."
Sneak freeping again, 2J?
I got the wrinkles out of the gown! We won't have to buy a gown! Yeah!
I finally just figured "Nothing ventured nothing gained" and if I didn't get the wrinkles out we were gonna have to buy another one, so if I burned a hole in it, we weren't out anything. So I ironed it on medium heat with steam. Quick. Went over it quick and stopped a lot, you know....iron iron STOP cool.
It did GREAT! It actually looks better than the first time he wore it 11 years ago (although it's a little tighter)! Heh heh! All we have to buy is the tassel and hood!
Masters Units (cap, gown, hood and tassel) $47.25
Individual Gown $24.50
Individual Hood $20.50
Individual Cap $4.75
Individual Tassel $4.00
I covered it in plastic, put the cap in a little sack and hung them up together in the closet. So it's ready when and if he ever graduates! LOL
Time is short...the attic door is fixed.
*nods in assent*
Lookit that face though. Aaawwwww...
He's such a brat.
(Homer, not ecurbh.)
Evenin' folkses...
Well... it was brutal... but dad's pc is back up and fresh and happy.
Had to reformat, and that didn't work at first. Then had to wipe out the partition and re-partition, reformat, and then the reinstall finally took.
Been hunting up all the software that needed reinstalled... it's been a slow day.
BUT: and it's a BIG BUT: Thanks to our new automated backup routine there was NO loss of data. Just copied the files from the latest backup back over from the external harddrive... BANG. DONE.
Backups ROCK. :-)
Cool! You got it done up right and ready for the big day, chica!
Becky and I just came back from the video store. We decided to be impulsive and go get the sequel to Legally Blonde.
We got Bambi II while we were there. ;-)
Well, best thing to do now is look for any naybers with new glass topped planting beds.
You are the coolest guy I know. *big grin*
Well done, hon. Knew you'd do it in a day. ;-)
Dang... I wonder how close he got to makin' it this time.
:-)
Someday he'll get out again... and somebody will call... and they'll say "You mean to tell me that you've had Spot *all this time*???"
:-)
:-)
Well, ifn' I wuz any good it mighn't have taken all day. :-P
Congrats to Matthew and Joshua, way to go Jedis. And a tip of the cap to their coach and pit crew.
:-P
(((Ramius)))
Wow, double sniff. Anyone else remember 'Riverboat'?
Hair/Ecurb; Homer was out scouting for the critter that gave Cartman the hard time. Who know, ol' Homer may have settled the score.
I hope you realize your very plausable scenario resulted in my nasal declogging with Stewart's Ginger Beer.
Say... I'll bet that's refreshing. In an eye-watering sort of way.
In other news today; LSA and I headed to ~ town ~ to visit the vampire place and reach the halfway mark for another coffee cup.(community blood bank) Every traffic light was green, the whole way, spooky to say the least. Vampire place must have used the wrong sized needle or hit the wrong vein on LSA since it wouldn't draw worth a darn, 18 minutes to complete instead of the usual 5 minutes.
Well, we generally partake of a store bought lunch near there, Plaza or Westport. I suggested Thai, a place with excellent reviews from co workers. The restaurant did their best to make it authentic; I got the spicy thai stirfry and LSA got the red curry with chicken and an ~extra~ surprise. Yup, a cucaracha in the curry. We advised the waitress, who apologized, wisked it away and returned with another bowl of red curry; suffice to say that was not what we had in mind, the manager was appropriately chagrined, compted the meal and told us the next one was him as well. Not sure how soon ~ that ~ is going to happen.
Next time, we'll do Indian cuisine.
