No glasnot here at the FReep -- just open, raunchy fun.
(& Happy B-day, Lunatic Fringe -- hope you're enjoying it.)

Weather here the pits (New York); guess the groundhog got up & left.

Have a nice weekend.

I like the one of them standing up barking in each other's face.

You can't beat the 1928 BCP. That's a nice prayer for him and his family.

The enraged husband said, "If I ever catch that Lothario osculating my wife again, he'll roué the day and get my fist right in that glasnost of his!"

Yes, that's a good one too. Gable is such a big goofy pup. He is a lot of fun. I'll really miss him when he gets adopted.

Mine 1040 is complete, but the government did not practice glasnost. If they did, the header on the booklet would say THEIRS. I mail it off tommorrow with the happy knowledge that I am paying the government to screw me.

Joy.

It is 46 here, but at least the wind is not blowing and the sun is shining for a change.

I got home later from work yesterday than I expected, had to rush to get dinner ready and was not able to get to class.

Hubby went to his office to finish some paperwork this morning, and has been working on making a new top for a neighbor's little occassional table-the original top got something spilled on it that made it de-laminate and get ruined, so this new top is being made with three solid oak planks.

I'm reading Bernard Cornwell's new book "Lords of the North", the third book in a series about Alfred of Wessex-aka Alfred the Great. The fictional Saxon nobleman who narrates the story is a really sour individual, even in his teen years, but he has a dry and incisive sense of humor and has me LMAO at some of his observations of the personalities and deeds of some the more famous historical characters of the time.

The next door neighbor and blondie the dyke are setting up a new gazing ball and pedestal that is even gaudier than the one destroyed by falling tree limbs was, and several atrocious whirligigs even as we speak-one is a 2 ft. tall woodpecker with wings that twirl around when the wind blows, and another one looks like some kind of little ferris wheel...

We have bright sunshine, but the windchill drops the temperature a lot. Bitter freezing cold with lots of wind - not so nice. Miss Ava comes for a visit tonight while mom and dad go out - that should warm up the day a little.

I just bought Lisa Gardner's new book, an easy reading thriller, I might get to read it after I finished studying. I finished my take home test, now I can study for the one Wed night. Monday the contractor starts my floors so I have to clear the rooms.......rme. That will be fun with a 17 month old.

It is 63 and beautiful here-hardly a cloud in the sky and just about everyone on the road is outdoors cleaning and lighting grills to cook outside because it is nice out for a change instead of gloomy and cold.

I saw my next door neighbor sweeping her deck earlier today when I was out with Husky girl, cleaning my grill so I can cook some spareribs for dinner, and of course she and the neighbor's Sheltie had to play chase running up and down their respective sides of the fence for awhile.

The neighbor told me that she and blondie were having a superbowl party for some friends, and sure enough, several lesbian couples arrived a few minutes ago. They have fired up the grill, turned up the stereo and are shouting at each other to ice down more beer, and of the four couples that arrived, all but two of the women I saw are dykes with a capital "D". Hubby asked me what all the commotion next door was, and I told him a superbowl party for dykes. He said are you sure, and I told him to go look for himself, so he went out on the deck-and came back in LHAO and shaking his head. With all the laughing and shrieking going on on their deck and yard, by the time the game starts our road will be known as the one that had a lesbian superbowl party-just f***ing great...

How many more classes and tests do you have left, ti?

I hate clearing rooms, too-but it is the beginning of new floors. How long will it be from start to finish of project new floors?

The problem is we are doing the kitchen, dining room, foyer, hallway and bathroom - the whole level of the house. It has a pantry and a coat closet to clear as well. (sigh) The more I get put upstairs for the duration, the less we will have to move around during the ordeal. I am hoping it's done by the weekend, but it is a single handyman/contractor friend who is doing the job - so it could take longer. He works efficiently and does not waste time. He has done excellent work for us in the past. Even my computer gets moved up to the living room tonight.

We have the first test of the new year this week, then we have a serious of tests going through the end of the year (May). It is a critcal care class (known as intermediate EMT nation-wide), but the take home test was definitely a paramedic level test. I know some of the stuff had not been covered in class. The whole series of lectures went bang, bang, bang, done. My head is spinning. I doubt that will change till the class ends. I am doing well with the tests though. I get to start hospital clinicals on top of everything else. I will be so glad when it is over. I do my best to enjoy it, but I am getting tired. I keep asking myself why I wanted to do this in my retirement. LOL

I stayed home from the Super Bowl party today to clear the house for Monday morning. It's getting lonely and empty around here.

It is 39 and supposed to be a beautiful day again, so I'm off to work cheerfully-I'll come to class later...
