Mmmmmpfh.

Monday again.

It took a good three minutes after the alarm this morning to remember that unsavory fact.

Hair's right. The guy doesn't even understand the stories or why his comparisons are so off base.

He's an annoying @$$.

Also sorry.

But don’t your Monday mean your end of the week “event” is a bit closer?

For me Monday is also Tuesday since I’m off on Friday...

Hence the "crazed-deer-in-the-headlights" expression on his face. :P Teasin'!

I'm checking a couple items off my "outprocessing" form today. That has put me in a nice frame of mind.

Hey, do you guys wanna do a pizza night one night this week? I’m craving pizza...

Sure! You want to order in or go out and see how long it takes for us to get noticed by a waitress at Farellis?

And good morning to you too :~)

We’ve got to call the vet this morning and see if it’s too early for Homer to go on another round of steroids. He’s drivin’ us nuts itching again.

He’s allergic to something in this house.

Luke's had a cold this past week and kept trying to tell me it was dog hair or cat hair so he wouldn't have to take his medicine.

I said "Okay, if you don't want to take the medicine we'll just get rid of the cat and the dog."

He said he'd miss them...

;-)

Must be baaaaad medicine. ;~)

We gave him a bath last night that should have helped. I wonder if he’s allergic to the cats... or our laundry soap. I dunno, but I can’t wait for the vets to open.

Just started a mega-heap-big fight this morning... I'll be going out fighting, that's for sure.

Very cool little history lesson!

Heh...I still think it looks like a cow pie. ;-)

The Smith Corona’s were available in colors (I want a pink one...) by the end of the 50s, but still had that sort of melted, lumpy shape. The ones from the 30s and 40s were far prettier. This one, for example:

We need to get Sam in for bath and grooming. We can’t bathe him inside in the winter...okay I suppose we could, but we don’t want to.

Wouldn't seem right any other way.
