How is your evening?

Quiet so far... still at work. Have had a long and tiring day, planning to just get home, have dinner, and go to bed as quickly as I can.

(found them in the jacket I wore days ago)

You wore a JACKET? Recently?????

[HairOfTheDog]

hum. Thought you would be home by now... it is late! I am having Smartfood popcorn and a tall pint of ice water!

[HairOfTheDog]

heh heh... Not that kind of jacket! - A light linen blazer-type jacket I wore with a skirt to a meeting last week...

[HairOfTheDog]

And yes I was hot in it...

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

it is late

Yes. At this rate it's looking like I won't get home until 8 pm. One of the consequences of two jobs and one car.

[2Jedismom]

I was fixin' to say! I'm sitting here after vacuming a porch enclosed in plastic that had to have been 120 degrees and feel like a pillar of salt and you say you wore a jacket recently...I was thinking..."I gotta move to her town!"

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, my town is a cooler town than yours... but it is 84 degrees at the moment, which is still a bit warmer than I like!

[HairOfTheDog]

8 o'clock is too late to be getting home! Poor Bear!

[2Jedismom]

Well, there's a line of thunderstorms north of us, I think they are going to stay north of us. I promised the boys I would take them to Krispy Kreme, so I better go do that just in case it decides to storm. Steve is working on a paper for school.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Well, I'm outta here... have a good evening, all.

[HairOfTheDog]

Good evening Bear, see you later then 2J! After Crispy Kremeses! I have a box fan pointed right at me.

It was 97 here today...

All the news shows have been talking about an outdoor concert yesterday at RIR (Richmond International Speedway), you know like right on the asphalt. It was hosted by a local country station (Alabama was the headliner). 51,000 people showed up and were not allowed to bring in water. The vendors ran out of water (of course they had plenty of beer) and over 200 people were treated for heat exhaustion, several were taken to the hospital...

A talk show host from another radio station (who has been calling and harrassing people with their sprinklers on in the afternoons) made a good point. Just for PR's sake anybody with any sense would've headed to the closest store(s) and emptied the shelves of all the water and handed it out for free. They're gonna have to make some sort of apology, if not more.

[Corin Stormhands]

I promised the boys I would take them to Krispy Kreme...

You're such a good mom. I know that's a sacrifice for you...

[HairOfTheDog]

Good grief... what a horrid concert... I would have melted first. I am not heat tolerant!

I just got back from a brief stint kickin' butt on Unreal Tournament... (violent video game). Donahue did a segment on the harm to society of violent video games, so I had to go play a bit! [ahem] I've still "got it"!

[Corin Stormhands]

You know, when the final chapter is written, I'm willing to bet that Donahue has done more harm to society than video games (violent or otherwise)...

[HairOfTheDog]

hehehe - Maybe... I was out playing with the hose again for no reason "accidently" sprayed all my hot dogs. and me!

[Corin Stormhands]

Well goodnight all. I'm hungry and I can't stand the thought of another glass of water, so I'm going to bed.

See you in the morning.

[HairOfTheDog]

What a diet... You are gonna grow moss as saturated as you are. Do you make squishy splashy sounds when you walk?

[2Jedismom]

ROFLOL! This is the second time today I've laughed out loud after reading something on this thread!
