So What Are You Doing Today?

[SPKrazy]

Me?

After going to the cell phone store to exchange my battery, the bank, the grocery store, and probably look around Best Buy, and a bookstore. Oh and I need to get in touch with RetroLounge about a couple of books he might have, I'd rather get them from him than someone else if he has them...

I thought I'd go to the Olive Garden for all you can eat soup and salad and breadsticks :P

then I'd get on my cell phone with the new battery and talk loudly while I searched for breastfeeding mothers while driving my SUV...

then, well, I will probably come back home and watch a movie, do some laundry, think up some dirty thoughts (as if that will be hard)

I might even get on DU again, imagine that...

:hi:

hope everyone has a great day

and good vibes to all!!!!!

:grouphug:

Oh!! I ordered a remote control dinosaur for my son :rofl: now he can terrorize his dog with it :rofl:

also have to make some loud phone calls to people to find out what the hell they want for Xmas, (there is a war on Christmas, but is there one on Xmas?) So if you hear someone talking loudly on the phone, just assume it might be me and treat them accordingly...

:spank: :spank: :grr: or something like that!!! :rofl:

;)

oh and i need to find a place that is open on Xmas for me and my family to eat at since I AIN'T PLANNIN' TO COOK :P

1. I went to Pilates this morning

Came home, ate lunch and took a shower.

Now I'm drinking coffe and eating an orange.

I don't want to push myself. :P

Waiting for the rest of the crew to come home from a Breakfast w/ Santa, so I don't know what the plans are yet.

Probably going out to dinner tonight though.

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

16. Sounds like a nice day so far

don't want to push yourself though, easy does it :P

;)

[Perseid]

2. I'll be

taking the parts that I recently ordered and received to begin repairing my newest project; a home that needs some lovin'.

[SPKrazy]

17. Cool!

ain't home ownership great!

working on your own home is rewarding i think.

:hi:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Took the cat pack to the vet this morning for checkups.

That was exhausting enough that I'm just going to sit here for awhile before trying to do other stuff.

[Skittles]

7. you take more than one at a time?

you got guts

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

33. Three of 'em.

The little cat and one of the big ones in the big carrier; the other big one in the smaller carrier. The vet offers a bulk discount (25% off for 3 cats), so it's cheaper that way. Also more interesting.

[SPKrazy]

43. interesting

i bet :crazy:

that's kind of cool though, a 25% discount

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

18. The cat pack

:wow:

herding cats is exhausting :P

[Gonzo Gardener]

4. Good to see that you've already SPANKED yourself...

so I won't have to! Olive Garden, SUV's, and "Xmess"...pffffft!:P

I'm throwing a belated birthday bash for my son, he turned 12 this week. The in-laws are driving in from Ohio for the party. We'll go out for dinner. Possibly, a BBQ joint named Squealers. They have excellent pulled pork and ribs.

I'm in charge of dessert tonight and am about to attempt to defy gravity by stacking mini chocolate covered cream puffs in the shape of a cone/Christmas tree complete with trick sparkler candles. I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this very ambitious project.:scared:

Other than that, not much going on. If I get this monumental dessert put together I might go take a brisk hike with my pooch out in the mucky snow covered fields and woods behind the house.

:hi: Enjoy your day!

[SPKrazy]

19. Thanks!

you too!

:hi:

[IronLionZion]

5. I had a good morning with my girlfriend

she likes to pounce on me to wake me up.
Then I made her some asian eggs with chilies and green onions for breakfast.
Then she went to work so I checked DU and saw that Airplane was on Comedy Central.
I should probably do some laundry soon.
Then I should find some time to work on my grad school applications.
Then later tonight I have a birthday party to go to.

At some point I'll probably drive my SUV to wal-mart while running over kittens and dropping lit cigarettes on dry forested areas. Then maybe I'll send in a donation to Huckabee and post a bit on Free Republic as I plot to take over the world. :rofl:

[SPKrazy]

20. See If Huckabuck can splain why he let a murderer free to murder again?

and then

good luck with the grad school apps

:hi:

[Skittles]

6. working

always work on weekends

[Perseid]

8. that just ain't right!

good and best of luck with what it is you're doing, but dang.

everyone needs a weekend now and again.

[Skittles]

9. are you kidding?

I LOVE having my days off when the herd is working!!!

[Perseid]

11. Ok

I think you may have something there!

[SPKrazy]

21. Well, glad its you and not me

actually there have been times when I didn't care whether i worked weekends or not, this is not one of them though

:hi:

[Bennyboy]

10. Hopping on a band's bus to go to Big Sur.....

[SPKrazy]

22. Sounds like FUN!

:woohoo:

[Initech]

12. I'm going to my friend's party tonight.

Should be quite fun, and there will be plenty of booze! :beer:

[SPKrazy]

26. Well have fun...

and be careful!

use protection :P

:rofl:

[kedrys]

13. Working on my own stuff for once

The evil day job doesn't let me have much time to run my side business anymore - but the s.o. is out of my hair this second, so I'm actually making a dent in it.

I'm also pondering when to start drinking. :P

[SPKrazy]

25. Well there's always the present moment

if it doesn't interfere with your side business, then hey, go for it! :D

:hi:

have a good one!

[RetroLounge]

14. Sitting the bookstore entering new books...

Went to a library sale and bought a bunch of recent 1st edition hard cover fiction titles.

Gotta get them into the system now.

Then after work, the kids and I are maybe going to dinner and a movie.

:hi:

RL

[SPKrazy]

23. Hey RL!

Just sent you a PM about a couple of books that are out of print that my dad wants for Xmas

[seemunkee]

15. Goofing off

I did an hours worth of work, surfed the web, going to put a few miles on the bike trainer, take a nap, go out for pizza.

[SPKrazy]

24. I may well go and do some miles on a bike trainer

and then again

my day has been busy :P

I still have a few errands to run

traffic is awful

gonna watch a movie...

:hi:

[Inchworm]

27. Sounds like a great day SPK!

I am on the opposite side of the coin today. A series of unfortunate events led to me not going in to volunteer at kitty/doggy place today. I forgot to put clothes in dryer, forgot to sleep at a reasonable hour last night, forgot not to drink so much, yada yada.

But my dogs still love me!

:rant:

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

29. well, here's a reminder

DON'T FORGET THE CLOTHES
DON'T DRINK SO MUCH
GO TO BED

:rofl:


:hi:

:pals:

[flvegan]

28. It's doggie day here at Rescue de flvegan.

All doggie towels and blankets get laundered, water bowls and food bowls get washed, vac the romper room, clean their a/c filter, baths for a couple of them.

Yeah, I know...how FUN.

[SPKrazy]

30. all part of the deal though

and rewards come at the end, not the beginning right?

[flvegan]

31. Yup

You got that right.

[zingaro]

58. Hey, on that note

how's Bumble? I wonder that often. Sorry if I missed an update.

[flvegan]

59. Bumble is doing great, thank you! I need to take some new

pics.

He's getting hugh!!1!

[zingaro]

60. aww yay!

I'm so glad to hear that. I look forward to the pix. :)

[SPKrazy]

77. threadjacker

You wanna make sumthin of it, pal?

:hi: :hug: How's you??

[SPKrazy]

86. yeah, come on now!

:silly:

:hug:

good, and you?

[zingaro]

91. OK, I see how it is.

hee I'm glad you're good. I am too, actually. For no good reason other than I have made the choice to be, know what I mean? Life's too short and all that jazz.

Here's to the rest of the weekend *cheers*

[SPKrazy]

100. yup

:toast:

[unsavedtrash]

34. working

:hi:

[unsavedtrash]

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

38. shhhhhh!!!!!

:hi:

[NMDemDist2]

[SPKrazy]

41. I beg your pardon

I am not an asshat :P


:rofl:

[NMDemDist2]

42. sure you are, you're just not an elitist

:rofl:

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

44. oh...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

45. Oh, yeah; just a little elitist asshattery happening on that thread...

[SPKrazy]

50. LOL

:rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

46. Stuff...

:P

Met a classmate at Starbuck's and edited her papers, went to a weird bargain warehouse and got 3 books, cut the kitteh's nails...I don't know what I'll do for the rest of the day...not much, I'd bet. Me lazy.

[SPKrazy]

51. meh

[AlCzervik]

47. staying at home because i'm still sick, i did manage to have a shower which

helped unclog my head a little bit.

[SPKrazy]

52. good

hope you feel better

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

53. me too and thanks. I have to go to the store and get some soup but i'm really tired

so maybe no soup for me, i'm hoping my husband will call me and offer to stop on his way home.

[From The Ashes]

48. Getting ready to go to work...

middle of the work week for me. Trying not to think too much. I get depressed when I think...

[SPKrazy]

49. No thinking

good idea

:hug:

[stuntcat]

54. I walked a lot, and shopped too

I'd totally harass the cats with a remote dinosaur!

I walked to the Borders that's 2 miles away and got a calender for my friend for Christmas and two veggie cookbooks for myself, and then I went to the Target that's a mile from that and got a new 2-foot Christmas tree and then brought it all back. So the walking was easy and it's nice out but it was silly to carry all that big stuff around, I was a mess when I got home. But since I walked five miles I can have a tasty supper now :9 rice and corn chips with green salsa, omg it's gonna rock, I can't wait, I have to go heat it up because I'm starving :headbang: :9 :9 :9 :blush:

[SPKrazy]

55. sounds like you earned it!

:hug:

:hi:

[no name no slogan]

56. Sitting in the lounge, watching the flamewars...

:popcorn:

[SPKrazy]

57. share

:popcorn:

quite the flame fest huh

[otherlander]

61. I sold Christmas trees

for a fundraiser this morning. Then I went home and walked my dog. Dinner in a while... maybe I'll go hang out at the bookstore later.

[SPKrazy]

62. did you sell lots of trees

did you read any books?

:shrug:

[otherlander]

63. Not sure how many trees people bought.

I was mostly the tree-dragger: Whenever someone bought a tree, I would drag another one out of the tree-pile and put in on the display stand. It was kind of mind-numbingly repetitive.
:hi:

[SPKrazy]

64. now i suppose you are going

to watch youtube vids and post on DU

:eyes:

i am :D

:rofl:

[otherlander]

I'm going to post on DU

then I'm going to eat chili with fake meat made out of soy

then I'm going to go to the bookstore

[otherlander]

65. delete double-post

[Kajsa]

75. I finally got my Christmas cards started today.

I ran some errands, it started to rain ( yay!)

I am very, very behind on my Christmas chores.

But it's one damn day at a time.

Or so I tell myself.

Me: Are you free for coffee anytime?

Jefe: maybe some time on sat? i can't commit to a
time yet. i may need to stay home for a specific window to facilitate
the cable guy fixing our blasted internet connection.


Has he called me? No.

Am I getting irritated? Yes.

[SPKrazy]

87. hmmm....

sounds sucky

:hi:

[zingaro]

82. I was supposed to put up a tree but

that didn't happen. Instead I hung out with my kids. We were crafty and grocery shopped. We're going to make some cookies now - got to get a start on the whole "baking for neighbors" thing. Whee.

Sounds like you had a busy day. :)

[SPKrazy]

85. well...

started busy

not so much later

:D

:hi:

[zingaro]

89. Sometimes, on a Saturday

"not so much" works just fine. :)

[SPKrazy]

90. yes it does

:hug:

[ldf]

92. well, i did an xmas tradition

for those here in the ny of c area that can handle it.

i went to Macy's, at herald square.

total madness.

if you haven't experienced it, there is no way to describe it.

they do have a great christmas store, 9th floor. let's you see how all the rich muckety mucks decorate THEIR trees....

still, fun to browse, although we (partner and i) hardly ever buy. we already got so much on our tree, there is no room for more.

[SPKrazy]

93. sounds hectic

that's a pretty tree though

I like it

:hi:

[ldf]

94. thanks...

that was from last year.

we don't put it up until about a week before xmas. don't want to overdo it, ya know...

[SPKrazy]

good nite

:hug: :hug:

:hi:

[kentauros]

102. Had a wonderful dream I still need to transcribe

Got my hair cut and ate at my regular cafe (Zabak's Mediterranean)
Cleaned my kitchen
Still need to try out a recipe for Turkish Delight in a bit here
Watched Torchwood and the end of an Dr Who ep

Probably won't have time to make that vegan chocolate cake recipe I want to try, but I have Monday off, so I can experiment on Christmas gift recipes :D

[SPKrazy]

103. cool

:hi:

[kentauros]

104. I just finished transcribing that dream

(around multiple sneezing fits)
It was a "flying" dream, but of human-powered flight and an amazing experience. Never done that kind of thing in my life, so maybe I should see about trying it sometime :)

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

105. wow

cool

like in a plane?

or

:shrug:

:hi:

[kentauros]

107. I posted it in a journal I have over on ezBoard

if you want to read it. I can't post a link directly to the entry, so just scroll to the end to see it:

http://p104.ezboard.com/fearthangelsforumfrm30.showMessageRange?topicID=172.topic&start=251&stop=288

But yes, in a plane, but very different from a "normal" plane :)

[Orsino]

106. Welcoming an infantryman back from Iraq.

He's spent fifteen months patrolling Ramadi, sixteen hours a day, seven days a week. We determined that he ought to lose at Talisman, but he actually came close to winning (we all sucked hilariously tonight). Rematch next weekend, perhaps with Kill Doctor Lucky instead.
