Thanks for the ping, HOTD!
I was sick most of the weeend but I wanted to answer and try to catch up with this thread. But to catch up with 33,742 posts!?
PHEW! I go a lot of reading to do!
God bless you both and I hope to be posting here again and meeting everyone else here.
I see I wasn't the only one inspired by RM's wonderful breakfasts. ;-) After all our talking, I had my brothers and my little sister over for breakfast on Saturday and made a big bunch of bacon and flapjacks - with real maple syrup, of course, this being Vermont and all!
Oh, and I hit the jackpot later on Saturday - we went to a little town in NH just to wander around, and the library was having a book sale. As it was later in the afternoon, they had dropped everything to a dollar a bag! The only table that looked like it had even been picked over was the romance table (which doesn't affect me!), so I was able to get a BIG bag of great stuff...mostly classics I will re-read over and over (Dickens, Hardy, Eliot, etc.), plus some mysteries, science fiction and a few kid's books, too. My bag was pretty stuffed...I offered to pay more when I went to pay because I had such a lot, but they wouldn't take it.
Now I just need to get some bookshelves...good thing none of you live close enough to drop in unexpectedly. ;-) My house is a disaster zone...
Mine, either. Meanwhile various friends were talking about what they were going to do on the "long weekend", and I wanted to slap them silly...life isn't fair! I have TONS to do at home, and instead I'm doing almost nothing at work...
And yeah, my dreams are often weird like this...a few weeks ago I had a dream I was on a mission to carry a special little card with important information on it to certain people...I was running through the Metro (subway) in Paris with various people chasing after me and occasionally shooting at me, plus I had Fiona with me which complicated things a great deal. I kept taking trains and THINKING I'd escaped from them, but then someone would come up and ask me for the time and then pull a gun, or something like that. I have an overactive imagination, I guess.
I've set up the breakfast buffet again. And don't worry Corin, there's PLENTY of bacon this time! :)
Flapjacks, scrambled eggs with ham and cheese, sausage patties and bacon slices for everyone! There's fresh bread in the basket there and creamy butter for the fearless calorie consumers - *grin*.
Fresh squeezed orange juice and ice cold milk are on the side table, along with hot strong coffee and teas. I've put the condiments on this same table because there was no room on the buffet table what with all of the food that's there already.
ENJOY! (and now I'm off to try and catch up - wish me luck).
Rosie, I think you should write your story.
Sorry, I'm one of the ones that has today off. Actually with taking Jr. to the doctor on Friday (and it taking all morning), I'm having a four-day weekend.
So I'm heading outside now to work on painting and replacing storm windows. I promised myself I'd be done by the end of September...
My name is: Donnamira Headstrong from Archet.
What a mouthful! LOL!
Based on your answers, you are most like Frodo.
You were also very much like Samwise and Merry.
At least I know that I am full-blooded Hobbit!!!
At least I know I'm not an Elf!
If I pick just a few fiestier answers I come up as Gimli with Gandalf and Frodo backup. And yes, I would correct Elrond on that split infinitive at the Council of Elrond!
