Difficult to grok, eh what?

[Tax-chick]

Maybe we should get out more ;-).

[Monkey Face]

Yes, it is, so while I have you on the line, why don’t we have a party?

[Monkey Face]

I got out a lot more before I lost weight. I got out because there wasn’t enough room in my clothes for me stay in them without bulging.

[Tax-chick]

TMI ...

[Monkey Face]

Iknowhuh? You can always erase it. ;o]

It’s funny but I made it up to fit in with the silly stuff. My bad.

[Tax-chick]

It’s okay. I’m glad you made it up, though ;-).

I lost 4.2 lbs. last week.

[Monkey Face]

Congratulations on the weight loss!

I had to do something for fun, since the day is gray and ugly and I want to go to bed. The hem-job was a hit. It actually looked a lot better than the original one because the crepe was so twisted on the original hem. It’s not twisted any more.

Maybe we should get out more

But not on Trash Day.

[ArGee]

You two need to stop leaving your weight lying around. I keep picking it up.

[Monkey Face]

Yes but no one said you had to WEAR it! ;o]

[ArGee]

Apparently I don’t need to be invited to wear it. <_<

Speaking of that landmark event, it is Tuesday when towards the end of the day the trash cans mindlessly migrate to the end of the driveway in anticipation of an early Wednesday morning visitation from the Interstate Waste people who collect the contents and leave behind an empty shell..

Except that there is presently some solidified glowbull warmthing falling from the sky and the notnecessarilyAccu(rate)Weather foregnosticators are saying that it will continue until the late antemeridian hours of Wednesday. The residue of this event tends to make the assisted migration of these trash receptacles difficult.

I checked the level of collected materials that the receptacles have ingested and have determined that if they are unable to accomplish their migration this week it will not cause us undue inconvenience.

If a similar weather event occurs again next week on ‘take out the trash’ day that WOULD greatly increase the inconvenience factor.

[Tax-chick]

Got any 3s?

We are threatened with Globull Warming, here, too, but I think it’s improbable. Just cold.

[NoCmpromiz]

Radar says you get the liquid version..

[Tax-chick]

It has rained.

Had to venture out into the abyss to rescue a black cat from himself. Mrs. NoC opened the door to let the in/outdoor cats in and he shot out the door around her feet. Jinx has not been outside since we brought him in when his mother abandoned him.

He promptly figured out that it was not as great outdoors as he thought because there was this white stuff landing on him and covering the ground. He ducked under the barbecue grill for safety.

And the in/outdoor cats go out and within ten minutes they are back at the door seeking asylum from the six or so inches of white.

It’s still snowing.

The solidified glowbull warmthing has passed on to bless the Atlantic leaving behind about 6 inches of fallout. I cleaned off the porch mostly to keep the snow from being swept inside by the storm door.

I noted that the trash receptacles must have decided not to make their weekly pilgrimage to the end of the drive. Can’t say as I blame them.. ;-)

[NoCmpromiz]

For when it's time to have 'that talk'.. ;-)

[NoCmpromiz]

I'm sure the schools here won't cancel school.

At least not like this.. ;-)

Snow Day
