Then, I get to go play in the mud later today. Can't play in the mud right now though- it's still frozen. :) That means finish the pond shaping. I think my neighbors that offered me their old carpet (replaced it all with hardwoods) are all sick; no one's answering the door again. That's usually a bad sign for them. I use the carpet as underlayment for the pond membrane. SO if a fish swims full on into the pond wall, it just bounces a little, not hurt or anything. ;) More coffee, then time to find my paintbrush.” 6:09:10 AM 1/14/08 “coffee thenlaundry, then errands.” 6:14:50 AM 1/14/08 “Don't talk about laundry, especially not after last week. ;)” 6:16:58 AM 1/14/08 “Painting and digging in thawed mud. I think I'd start drinking early.” 6:20:44 AM 1/14/08 “Morning. I've been a bit non-existant. My computer is kaput, or at least the power plug is. We got a new one on e-bay but now it looks like the jack in the laptop is bad. Ug. I'm on G's laptop today. Evie is driving me NUTS. She won't sleep. Its like having a newborn with colic all over again. We're crying it out today for naps. There, she stopped again. HOpe it lasts. SHe's getting her shots today so that'll help her sleep longer! LOL! We had snow up north at my folks house over the weekend, but nothing here. Oh wait, she's crying again. Where's the whiskey???” 6:30:09 AM 1/14/08 “lol, hang in there Smiley!” 6:36:37 AM 1/14/08 “Had coffee, now breakfast and dog park. Yay weekend!” 6:41:25 AM 1/14/08 “  Black Diamond Hellion er.... Helion. ” 7:08:34 AM 1/14/08 “good mornin'! We're getting dumped on here, yay! Supposed to get a foot or so I guess - good thing cause all the other great snow was just about gone. The city of Augusta didn't cancel school, about the only place that didn't. The kids stayed home anyway, and the schools let out at 10am...” 7:48:42 AM 1/14/08 “had a nice 3 mile walk and now we're gonna gocheck out maternity clothes for Kamper. i'm gonna try fto finagle a new pair of shoes.” 8:51:07 AM 1/14/08 “I heard guys used to wear out a pair of shoes pacing all night in the waiting room..... but I don't think they let you do that anymore. Nowadays they hand you a mask and a catcher's mitt and put you in the lineup.” 1:15:43 PM 1/14/08 “took a nap this afternoon...went to sleep & woke up to total darkness...uggg hate it when that happens.” 4:48:48 PM 1/14/08 “Forgot to open your eyes?” 5:24:33 PM 1/14/08 “good morning!!” 1:47:37 AM 1/15/08 “Well, good morning, good morning! minus 4F and severely clear outside... It's Tuesday and I begin my work week today... this mornings bevy of choice? Caramel breve...discovering a coffee drink made with half and half is great for me... my goal is to try and down 1000 calories at breakfast...this morning I'm having Afghan Kofta Chalau...that's finely ground lamb meatball in a yogurt sauce served with rice...very rich, very fattening...throw in my usual Scandi shake and I just might have hit that 1000 calorie mark...” 3:09:14 AM 1/15/08 “my goal is to wake up.......need to make my coffee now.........oh, it's 32 here and dark.....go figure..........” 3:40:34 AM 1/15/08 “It snowed! It snowed! I love waking up and seeing everything covered in pristine white (or grey by the light of the moon). So glad the brown is covered up again. We even got more than predicted for once. =) Have a good day everyone.” 4:40:56 AM 1/15/08 “Good morning, it snowed here too, but only an inch. The road is clear and it's just in the grass and the trees. It does look pretty outside.” 4:44:20 AM 1/15/08 “I haven't been around much either. Since about 12/17 I've worked most days building a cabin. I am getting a lot of experience that will be put to good use when I start my renovation. Now all I need is money:) I get online most every evening, but I'm so tired that I just don't post. Laundry hasn't been done in awhile either and so I'm usually rummaging around for my "cleanest dirty shirt".” 4:51:13 AM 1/15/08 “Just under freezing here this morning. It's nice to see some frost again. I did something stupid this morning. I had the truck at home and parked it outside. I was driving to work peering through about a 18" dia clear spot in teh windshield with no frost. I was leaning over to see when suddenly I see a flash of white to the left going up a bank. It was a deers butt. One ran in front and I never even saw it. The next time I park out of the garage on a frosty morning EVERYTHING will get defrosted first. That was a stupid thing to do.” 4:53:08 AM 1/15/08 “Use a credit card to scrape the frost off next time Dayhiker. Easy peasy.” 5:33:17 AM 1/15/08 “That's very dangerous, DH. It's 20 degrees here. I have a second aquarium heater in the koi bin so they can stay warm and the filtration won't freeze up. THe water temperature is 60 degrees. THe fish are lined up at the edge of the bin waiting for me to feed them. Little beggars. I'm just glad they're doing well, considering everything else is frozen solid.” 5:34:21 AM 1/15/08 “Ugh. Polyurathaned the kitchen again yesterday. It stinks but its too cold to open a window. Gotta go walk a cold mile for that first cuppa coffee.” 5:38:09 AM 1/15/08 “I hope cabin kamper's not hanging out there in the fumes. I have to finish priming HPM's work room now; tinted primer=peach, yikes!” 6:03:17 AM 1/15/08 “good morning everyone. last weekend was a blast. I did not ski but i went snowtubing! i am now packing for another trip. Doing my annual winter backpacking trip. leaving Wed. Have a nice week and weekend.” 6:05:22 AM 1/15/08 Hugs. “Good morning. Hell's bells, I put long pants on this morning. It's a little too chilly for wearing shorts, while I bicycle to the Resource Cafe. However, the chills did not deter a crowd of noisy, old freeloaders. Old folks are sure noisy! I'm going out on the veranda to finish my decaf.” 6:07:10 AM 1/15/08 “Morning. SNowed here too, still flurrying off and on. Saw a few Tigers (as in Detroit) yesterday at Tiger Fest in town. Saw the American League trophy. That's what I get for being a coach's wife! E is better, at least she slept a lot last night. Getting those vaccinations was good for her sleep schedule!” 6:29:36 AM 1/15/08 “Good morning, gonna go look at a laser printer later, comes with an extra toner cartridge yay!” 7:25:32 AM 1/15/08 “Finished a pot of coffee between the two of us. Snowed last night, bright sunny morning. The only appointment I have is with the ski trails today, be home by 1530. Yawn. Sunny room and TT, morning news.” 8:35:20 AM 1/15/08 “Good morning! it's warm outside...20F...we're expecting highs to be below zero this week-end...won't THAT be fun! meanwhile, I'll enjoy the heatwave!” 3:14:41 AM 1/16/08 “I woke up at 5 am...I suppose that's better than the 1:30 I've been seeing on the clock lately. There's a frigid wind blowing in to our house from most of out electrical outlets. Time to hit THD for those draft stopper thingys.” 4:10:36 AM 1/16/08 “morning...it's 44 outside and they say rain but i wonder....time to do something like another cup of java.........” 5:47:53 AM 1/16/08 “Dang, treebait, me too. Raining here, nasty drive this morning. last edited: 1/16/08 5:55:04 AM” 5:49:23 AM 1/16/08 “Hey all. 13F here today. Leaving the snowy north land for a sunny southwest conference Friday. Mrs Pathman is sick of gray, cold and snow. Till then, I get two more days of skiing.” 5:54:02 AM 1/16/08 “It's a bit brrrrr out this morning...21 degrees. The moisture is coming up from the gulf and supposed to collide with the cold from the north and TA DA...we are expecting 100% chance of snow tonight and into tomorrow!!!! YIPPIE” 5:56:43 AM 1/16/08 “Howdy. 28 in Nashville. Off for a walk with the fur sharks.” 5:58:17 AM 1/16/08 “45 and raining” 5:59:09 AM 1/16/08 Hugs. “Good morning. Florida is warmer this morning. I guess it's part of the Be Kind To Tourists program. Have a great day.” 6:15:21 AM 1/16/08 “Goodum Morningum. Weather site says ICE FOG, which sounds downright scary if you ask me!” 6:17:06 AM 1/16/08 “We had a lot of ice fog in Fairbanks. The water vapor from car exhaust crystaled on emission froming microscopic ice crystals: ice fog. It got really bad during long, cold temperature inversions Here in Spokane, we get "freezing fog", which is different. It is more like fog with freezing dew.” 8:03:54 AM 1/16/08 “went for walk in park, started raining...now it's 46 and raining here.....” 9:21:29 AM 1/16/08 Hugs. “Wow, have you looked in a mirror this morning? You look wonderful. Sure wish you were here. Warm weather is not everything! Enjoy your day.” 3:26:32 AM 1/17/08 “Warm weather may not be everything but it's 4F and dropping here...I wish I were there too, nowslimmer.... Good morning all you little icicles....” 3:28:07 AM 1/17/08 “kind of cold here, wind chill of 25 and had been raining....early rising.....coffee, to the office for a while..... peace.........” 4:06:58 AM 1/17/08 “Good morning! More snow coming today, hooray! It's feeling alot like winter too. Have a wonderful day you lovely people!” 4:34:03 AM 1/17/08 “Good afternoon!!!!.... ...it sure is hard going back to work after being off 5 weeks.. :(...I am pooped!!! SOOOOOO wonderful to sleep in MY bed.... ...without any cats or dogs!!!!!!” 2:33:04 PM 1/17/08 “Good Morning! Coffee = HOT, outside = COLD, Oatmeal = almost ready to eat. I kept waking up all night half dreaming that I was late for work, then I'd get up and check the clock, nope, still the middle of sleep time, go back to bed. By the time the alarm went off I was tired!” 2:29:09 AM 1/18/08 “1-3" of SNOW predicted tonight. Yippie.” 4:14:01 AM 1/18/08 “Same here, Jonnycat. I hate waking up in the dark, thinking the alarm's about to go off. I check the time and it's 1:35. Argh. Coffee doesn't taste so good this morning. Rather acidic and bitter, but it's the same blend I've been making all week. TIme to switch to yerba mate for a while for my caffeine. Or the 12 pack of red bull sitting in the pantry.” 4:26:08 AM 1/18/08 “Mornin' Beautiful day on the Gulf Coast. About mid 40's this morning. Going to be up to the high 60's later today.” 4:42:36 AM 1/18/08 Jump to Page << prev
