Thursday #87 - Bye - Bye 2004

I had to go to the market because I have been asked to "bake" something for this evening. (gasp)

I saw a cone in the road that had been hit by a car. There were little tiny pieces of cone all over the road. I didn't know what to do. Should I cry.......should I pull over and put all of the pieces in a pile and take them home to bury them.

What did I decide to do?

Shrimp tempura.............forgive me Slick if I pushed you out of the way.............that happens to be one of my favorites.

Now I will have that drink - since I spit out my other one over Slick's post.

Mario - you little cute thing.......come on over here and I promise I will save some champagne for you at midnight.

YAWN!!!
I'm sinking fast!!!
It's only 8 pm here. I'll never make it to midnight without a nap!
Not even Maro dancing a hoochie coochie dance will work!

SNORE!!!!
:D

One funny thing: our Elks club is having a party tonight with a DJ. The DJ is POOP-DOGGY-DOG!!! Really!:eek:

No wonder they are letting everyone in FREE!:D

Wake up Connie.......stay with the program.......

**waves some onion rings and cherry vanilla coke under the nose**

This should bring you back to life.:D

Gini, quit spitting all over my posts!!! :p

:D Thanks slick! I needed that!:D

Oh poor little cone :( Gini, how awful.. :( But that was then and this is now. I just went upstairs and asked the eldest Grandson if he happened to have any Frank Sinatra CD thingies and lo and behold he goes into his drawer and pulls out Frank Sinatra. He also has Bob Marley and Little Feat. Chili Peppers and all kinds of thingamajigs. I'm having a wonderful New Years so far :cool: David.. I can't remember the third verse, I'll have to go into my old albums. Or vinyl.. whatever they call it these days :rolleyes:

OMD Laurie!! You are still awake......got any of that bubbly and strawberries left?

Hi everyone. :) I'll be staying home tonight alone. All my friends made plans. :( So hrmm....anyone want to get me a Scotch Burn? :p

I'm in the same boat Cass! Scotch Burn???? :confused:
What's that?? Can I use a life-line and ask the audience??;)

Laurie & David:

My ex husband used to sing that song to me all the time! I think it goes...

Throw another log on the fire honey
Cook me up some bacon and some beans.
And go out to the car and change the tire.
Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.
Come on, baby, you can fill my pipe
And then go fetch my slippers.
And boil me up another pot of tea.
Then put another log on the fire babe,
And come & tell me why you're leaving me.

Now don't I let you wash the car on Sunday?
And don't I warn you when you're gettin fat?
Ain't I a-gonna take you fishin' with me someday?
Well, a man can't love a woman more than that.
And ain't I always nice to your kid sister?
Don't I take her driving every night?
So, sit here at my feet cause I like you when you're sweet,
And you know it ain't feminine to fight.

So, put another log on the fire.
Cook me up some bacon and some beans.
And go out to the car and change the tire.
Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.
Come on, baby, you can fill my pipe
And then go fetch my slippers.
And boil me up another pot of tea.
Then put another log on the fire babe,
And come & tell me why you're leaving me.

I don't know who it's by, but just thought you might enjoy the lyrics! Happy New Year :)

Many people have done this song. It was written by Shel Silverstein.:D

http://www.banned-width.com/shel/works/log.html

Well Happy New Year everyone! Hope each and everyone is you had a good night! :D

OMD! Well if that don't beat all :D Have a question? PT'ers have the answer. I forgot all about Shel Silverstein! I think I'm thinking of the version (same lyrics) by David Allen Coe, or maybe John Prine. Funny song and great evening last night. Fire is still going this morning and I stashed a bottle of bubbly so I'm just about to make myself a mimosa and eat some leftover shrimp. Life is tough huh ;) Happy New Year my dear friends.

Laurie, The version of that song that I remember is by David Alan Coe. If I can share the shrimp and have a mimosa, maybe we can sing it together!

Good morning everyone! As this first day of 2005 begins, I want to wish you all much love, happiness and good health.

Shove over Laurie.....I'm up for a Mimosa and shrimp.:) :)

HAPPY 2005, EVERYBODY!!!:D

I'm having a waffle with blueberry syrup.
I'll share! (yes, mario, you can have one too!)
:)

You cannot imagine how hard Annie tried to get me up. She must have made a dozen midair attacks on the bed. I was having none of it and she finally gave up and cuddled some more.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone.

A new beginning............I hope it leads to good health and much happiness for all Pet Talkers and for all of our furkids.

Now back to the parade - I snagged a Mimosa......thanks, I will be back and bring lunch.

GOOD MORNING GINI!!!
Sorry, was that a big loud for ya??? :p :D Here's some aspirin.

Hi MOFF, no waffles for me. I just finished breakfast....a veggie omelet with green onions, peppers, mushrooms and topped with melted cheese. Gee...kinda sounds like a pizza!

I've got a house full of cleaning to do today, but will check in from time to time.

HI, GINI! HI, SLICK!
What's for lunch?

:D

LOL!
You made me think I was seeing things! By the time I posted that, you had deleted your post! So, I changed mine!
LOL!:D

I think I need a nap!

Happy 2005, everyone!

Last night we celebrated with three different time zones: CST, MST, and PST -- I just did crawl out of bed. ;)

It's 3:54 pm here in the south, and we're getting ready for another New Years party! We're having Heroin Wings, Bacon-cheese dip, honey-baked ham, deviled eggs, lemon pie, cake & ice cream, and LOTS of drinks - gin & tonic, midori sours, irish creme & coffee! Fun, fun! And we're having our guest dogs, Sadie (a golden retriever) and Tessa (akita/border collie mix) as Nilla's special guests! (No guest kitties, though, :( )

Happy New Year again everyone! May this be the happiest one yet for each and every one of you and your family! :D :D :D

Lunch is here...........honey baked ham.......honey mustard.........fresh hot rolls............mimosa salad..........potato salad..........cole slaw...........really crunchy dill pickles...........

and a bunch of Boston Creme Pies for dessert.


Boy, I sure wish that stuff was at my house
:D :D

Oh goody....what a spread. You must have been cooking all day Gini. Thanks. I'm baking a ham tomorrow night for dinner. Want to come over?

Love those dill pickles......crunchy and garlicky.

JT: Another NY party.....you must be a whole lot younger than me.

Zippy....please do enlighten us. What did you do?

I was with you all in spirit.

Got the monitor dried out and working.....now the phone system is out on our block....when it rains hard the friggen box on the next block gets wet and zippo, nada, nothing......

Oh well, I wish you all a fantastic new year, break all your resolutions now.......it'll keep ya from being miserable for a week or two.....;)

Glad you are back with us Richard!
I will admit to wondering if your monitor really died or you were making an excuse to watch all the football games! ;)

Is Eddie a football fan too?:D

Nope, the monitor really died!!!!

I think that I watched, all together, about three quarters of a football game all weekend.

I even missed the B-2 bomber flyover for the start of the parade.

In the years past, the B-2 makes a few laps around my house and then goes to the parade......My brother heard it pass over, but my heart wasn't into it this year.

Ed is a football fan until an exciting play happens..........
I scream, he jumps,
I laugh, he goes to the bed and lies down again....:D

Sounds like Peanut. We were watching a few games in the motorhome and Terry tends to get a bit excited. She was in her little bed on the couch....until the first big play. After that she decided the bedroom was a better place for a nap until the game was over. ;) :D

If the motorhome's a rocking-
It's just football?

Laurie....can we really leave this alone??? Help me Lord, I'm trying to start off the year on my good foot!:D :D :eek:

:eek: :eek:

Oops, what I meant for those of you with "wandering" minds, was that Terry tends to do a lot of yelling at the TV while a football game is on. Then he explains - in detail - to me what should have been done and why it should have been done and how are they ever going to win if they keep making plays like that!

I'm sure Richard knows exactly what I am talking about when I say "excited"....in terms of football that is....

Ok, ok, have a field day with it. ;) :D :D
