Fun today? I'll have to think about it. So far I got nuthin'.
 
Oh, I chatted with Seester Goon last night and she's feeling ok, not great, still in pain and taking pain meds. She thought she might up it back to two after she tried going with just one. So, definitely some pain. But she sounded quite perky and so I think she is on the road to wellness now. 
 
Clare - how's your sister?

Morning!
 
Unexpected sale today. Friend of mine (half of the <a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/StitchSisterz" target="_blank">Stitch Sisterz</a> yarn selling duo) is having another yarn sale at her house, and asked me to bring yarn bowls to sell. Since I don't have enough yarn bowls to fill my rack I'm going to bring a couple other things. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" title="">
 
And i have to get stuff ready for brunch tomorrow.

morning all. I was up at 4 and at work at 5. The first thing I did was start blasting 80's hair band music so all is right in the world. The boss came in and asked what in the hell I was listening too and I said Quiet Riot! He just shook his head and walked away. 
 
so I got some pictures of my niece last night and she is a little pork chop! I'm guessing she was closer to 9 pounds than 8 and she's all cheeks!! I'll try to figure out how to post a pic.

Congratulations on the job Heather!!!!
Good luck with the country house Duck!!
Congratulations Auntie Wippy!!
 
Hope your sister is doing ok, Clare.
Hope your sister just keeps on feeling better BigG.
 
I started the morning at the farmers market. What a great way to start the day!

winter · Aug 14, 2010

Howdy!
 
Congratulations, Wippy! New people in the world are always a fun event.
 
(((Clare's Sister))))
BigG: It's good to hear that your sister is doing fine. 
 
I'm so hyper! I've been cooking up a storm since 7 this morning. I'm a big believer in prepping everything before hand when you are having guests over. My guess is I'll be exhausted before the gang gets here. Which, in my estimation, is a good thing. That way I will be in the mood to sit and gab instead of in run around mode. Sounds like a plan. 
 
Oh! For those who might be curious. I went with the Berry Trifle and Peach Cobbler for dessert. Thank you all for your suggestions. 
 
Has anybody ever tried Sassparilla? I found it at the Liquor Store while browsing and I had to pick it up. Also, for you beer connaisseurs (that means Know-it-alls in French), I picked up a microbrewery beer called Hoptical Illusion. The Brewery's name is the Flying Monkey. I'm sorry. I picked that up as well. I'm a sucker for a good label. I'll let you know what I,and others who know more about beer than I do, think about it. 
 
Love to love ya, Babies!

Where is everybody? It's been almost 3 hours since my last post...
 
I just finished watching Hot Tub Time Machine. I actually really enjoyed it. Fun stuff...

KP · Aug 14, 2010

Hope everyone is having more fun than I am today - midst of a 12 hour day with soccer preseason. Really wish that front would move through and cool things off here. Currently 78F with 81% humidity and we have a turf field.
 
boB - Hot Tub Time Machine was hilarious We need the Chernobyl!

kjboston · Aug 14, 2010

Getting ready to go car shopping...not sure if that's fun or not!

katholeenie · Aug 14, 2010

Just got back from the sale and found out my ILs are taking us to dinner tonight at a nice restaurant downtown on the river. <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif" title=""> 

My NYC cousins came to the sale this morning and were drooling at all the yarn and stunned at how low the prices were. Plus the discount. Plus she was throwing tax in, so the discount ended up being bigger. (For you legal types, she was paying the sales tax herself.)

Me too.
 
I got some squash chips going last night and they are finally finished. Man, they are so good. [crunch-crunch-crunch] <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" title="">

Ailarie · Aug 14, 2010

Fun: Using a gift card and being able to fit into a size of pants not one, but TWO sizes smaller than what I expected. Rawr! 
 
More fun: Though I know they're bad for me, I'm heating up some corn dogs for lunch! (yeah, I'm a little late!). I'm also enjoying a Pepsi throwback.

wipaddler · Aug 14, 2010

seriously could today go any faster? I don't want to wish away my weekend but I'm headed up north tomorrow to see the baby and I want to go now now now but I have to wait.

My kids are now triathletes. 
 
Not fun: went for a run later in the day due to the tri and had to cut it short for some high school grad who (I don't know but called me on the referral of a friend) wanted to come by for help with a scholarship. Didn't show, didn't call. WTF?!?

I would kill for that kind of Dr. Pepper!!! 
Oh, and they are made with high fructose corn syrup.

Ailarie · Aug 14, 2010

Yah for Tri-Kidlets! Very cool.
 
BigG - Whoa.. I didn't know that Dr. Pepper also came in the throwback line! I've seen Pepsi and Mtn Dew, but not Dr. Pepper! Sounds yummie!

katholeenie · Aug 15, 2010

What is Mexican Coke? Do we need to have an intervention? <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/shock.gif" title="">
 
 
YAY RIL!!!!!
 
 
 
I just had the most delicious Ahi tuna.

BigGahoona · Aug 15, 2010

Yup DD read about the vintage Dr Pepper in Time magazine so we've been on the look out for it. Found it yesterday in WalMart!
