The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!
Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Journey to the Cross-roads
The Two Towers Edition
Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)
Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

Good evening. I'm heading out to pick up a few things at the store. We are doing a fundraiser for the "Relay for Life" tomorrow, so I have to get cookies to bring. Time to test my self-control!
Back in a few...
To: mstar
Thanks mstar. We'll get him to you as early in August as possible. I'm sure there's enough of Texas to see if he can't make it to California.

To: Corin Stormhands
Well, I'm supposed to have them individually wrapped, because they are going into a box lunch.
To: HairOfTheDog
Evenin'. Another weird night here in the Stormhands household. But what's new.
Jr. is bored. I told him "you could do this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this..." He wants to hang out with his friends from church, so I said "call them." "I don't have their numbers."
Weren't you just with them last night at youth group? Couldn't you ask for their numbers?
Sigh...
I'm off now to go get a letter printed that I have to mail for the pool. Back later.
To: ecurbh
Ruh Roh! So you have to
open the packages????
You're a better man than I Ecurbh Baggins.

Temptation... like, say, spending a hundred bucks more than you planned on a nice digicam?
So I got one. It was $200. Sue me, it's my money.
Um, anyone have some space for me to post pics?

But it's home enough for me!!!!! Perfect trees. Perfect ground (rocks). Perfect colors. Perfect air. I never noticed the birds. And I purchase insect repellent.
Sorry you're further from your home than I am from mine. Home IS a good thing most of the time.

Personally, I don't think it would be a bad thing for a guy to let himself have a cookie or two.

Corin, I'm so sorry you have to have this frustration with Jr. over the boredom and phone numbers. That was exactly the kind of things that was happening to me up to 2 months ago. And reminding me of that makes today a little bit BETTER!!!! I am so glad I didn't have to put up with that TODAY!

Well, I know I am supposed to have a phone call coming in at 8:00. That's 15 minutes from now.... so I'm waiting for it. My best friend from home is calling to check up on me tonight. She told me I better answer the phone or she'd be beside herself with worry today. So.... I'm kind of obligated to try to stay awake and not get all involved looking for elves.

Woohoo! Got the cookies home and wrapped, and didn't even nibble a single one. They sure did smell good though. I think I'll have a Blackberry-Bailey's shake tonight to celebrate!
