Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
*Sigh*
Why do people insist on doing their vampire hunting at night?
They only come out at night...
I prefer vampires-in-a-box.
Oh please, this was from a storm. And unlike Comcast they’re sending someone this year.
Compared to Comcast, Verizon has been like heaven.
Jr. and I saw “The Dark Knight” tonight. Just wow.
Cool.
We went to a concealed carry training class. It was lame-o. Talon does a better job.
Cowtown is a special place ... Gateway To The West. They still drive longhorn cattle down Exchange twice a day.
Are y'all gonna be headed down this way anytime soon?
You both have FReepmail ...
(Psst... my brother’s house is on the market, in Arlington... He is getting married and they want to live in Dallas)
I see Austin was chosen the number 1 drinking city in the US, beating out Milwaukee. Congratulations!
We *might*. It’s at the top of our list. It all depends on jobs, where we get offers...
Nothing yet.
I’ve got my phone handy...hopefully I will hear today. Grr!
In other news...I was so exhausted that I went to bed at ten pm and slept ALL NIGHT for the first time in months.
Ha! Love the giant mouse trap — too funny.
Anyone notice that a US ally (Georgia) and Russia have started a shooting wae this morning? Russian tanks and jets entering Georgian territory and being shot down!

I saw that. Not good.
Do you still have the black and white tile? A nice med. golden yellow would be pretty!
No, it was the really cheap stick on tile that the previous owners left. I replaced much of it over the years. but we covered it all with the hardwood laminate. The foyer is yellow and the other two rooms are gold. But I’m trying to convince Not Valerie that we want to go much, much, much lighter all around. We have a very pale seafoamish blue/green in the downstairs bath now. I’m pushing towards those tones.
I’m not winning...yet.
I was without the use of my computer all evening, because I wanted Clare to show me how to transfer my music from my files to I-Tunes so I could put it on my iPod, that I got from Joseph. When we went to do that, we got a message about needing to install Service Pack 2. I guess I'd never done that, so we closed everything out, re-opened Windows, and started updating. It took forever!! We had to load Service Pack 2, then update everything related to that, THEN it wanted to load Service Pack 3, and everything related to that, and then Clare updated to the most recent versions of Windows Media Player, and Internet Explorer. She was up until 3am doing all that!
So my PC is all new and shiny this morning! We just got back from getting Joseph his meningitis vaccination, and we're taking him out to eat for lunch because he's officially GRADUATED!! WooHoo! My job is DONE!
precious?
