A nice, new stove would be wonderful, actually, and it would certainly help. It seems as though I’m getting the urge to bake again, and a nice, new, WORKING stove would be essential for that!

I want to smell bread baking!

[Monkey Face]

You’re coming along excellently. It hasn’t even been a month!

My problem is that I'm judging myself on moves when I was younger and had to do more unpacking for more people, and still it was "home" within a week of the moving van pulling away. So I don't like that things are still "in my way."

It will come together, I know, but just not fast enough for me.

"It will come together, I know, but just not fast enough for me."

Things never come together as fast as they can fall apart.

[NoCmpromiz]

Just so you know you were spotted..

[NicknamedBob]

He was probably headed into the city.

[moose07]

Even stranger, I did travel into a City this morning !
Derby city.
Spies everywhere.(!)
:D

[Darksheare]

But no man eating fog.
They neglected to accept their man eating fog quotient, unacceptable.
They will receive a double shipment post haste.

[moose07]

LOL,
Derby would greatly benefit from a Shipment of man eating frogs.

[Darksheare]

A fog of frogs that feasts on progs?

I read a headline this morning that said that crickets were the cause of the diplomats fleeing Cuba, not so long ago.

If it hadn’t been so close to the time when I just crawled out of bed I would have had a very good, very hard laugh!

[Tax-chick]

I know a song about a ram at the Derby fair.

[Tax-chick]

Good morning. You’re up early!

[Monkey Face]

Good morning to you.

I'm not up as early as I wanted to be because I still have letters/cards to write, and some phone calls to make when businesses wake up.

Someone rang the doorbell last night, waking me out of a sound sleep, but by the time I got to the door, no one was there.

Meh.

I want to go to Walmart but IF the truck starts, I would be afraid to shut it off!

[Monkey Face]

Pretty little Siamese! Just faint tinges of color that will darken as he ages.

I never thought I’d see the day when I looked forward to such a simple thing as a photo of a kitteh, but I do. I enjoy them so much!

[Tax-chick]

According to the poster, mama cat is a Persian, but daddy was a rounder. Maybe more than one rounder: the litter is quite varied.

But no man eating fog.

I ate fog once. I didn't find it very filling.

[ArGee]

And we’re off!

Well, I’m off!

I must be to keep coming back here.

Speaking of which, my last day at Dept of Ed is 1/15. I’ll be starting at Dept of Social Services on 1/16. I’ll be an actual Project Manager for a contracting group developing the software, so the politics will be much less insane.
