Thursdays 199 - Be My Valentine

[Killearn Kitties]

I'm here at work babysitting a reaction,

How exciting!! Did anything happen? Tell us all!

The food sounds great this week, but hold the jokes Richard!

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

Morning everyone. Well MJ is back in school today. She has all next week off for February vacation. Too much snow to shovel! At least two feet. Ugh! I'll get the fire this morning, now where is that remote? Mario are you hiding it again? I can't seem to find it. I don't want to go into the L+F by myself.
Richard? LH? somebody? I guess I'll just have to wait. I'll get some coffee going to go with the left over banana bread.

[Killearn Kitties]

Well it's bound to be one of the guys that has the remote!

[lbaker]

G'day all!! I finally was able to get a flight out of DC and have arrived in lovely and comparatively warm San Francisco, unlike many colleagues that were bumped and still haven't arrived. I'm exhausted and the real show hasn't even started yet. Really looking forward to dinner tomorrow night with PTers from the area. I've missed you guys, hope to chat more in the next few weeks when I get my goove back

[smokey the elder]

No exciting explosions out of the pilot plant...just a lot of lab tests. Oh, well, maybe next time...

Hey everyone - it is FRIDAY...........FINALLY!

Mario - Lady - how are you? Where's Pua? O.K. - what have you done with Pua? You both are looking pretty guilty.

How about some Bailey's to go with my morning coffee?

[RedHedd]

Laurie! It's good to finally hear that you made it safely to S.F. I was worried because of all the bad weather and not sure how the flights were, but you've landed. It's been so crazy at work that I haven't had time to check up on you until this morning. I'm SO looking forward to dinner tomorrow night.

The weather gods did a happy dance for your visit - they're predicting temps into the mid 70's for today and tomorrow. So how about a round of a sunny drink to celegrate Laurie's S.F. visit?

[davidpizzica]

Gini, Bailey,s and coffee will work for me. I found the remote under one of the cushions on the sofa. Maybe the Bailey's will take away some of my rib pain (I hope!)

[RedHedd]

Dinner tonight was PHUN! Laurie came dressed for the occasion:

What is Mario doing reading a Science magazine?

After dinner the ladies came over to meet the M's. Sorry no pics of that, but I did grab Mitzi and MADE her meet the girls. I know, mean meowmie. And then we ended up in the bedroom - the only room big enough in my apartment for everyone to fit comfortably. As you can see the ladies got very comfortable:

Oops, first take wasn't too good. Here, this one's better - notice Woflady's new 'do

and Laurie came bearing gifts for us gals: Sunflower seeds so we may continue to grow towards the sunlight and .... PNAS "pens." Well, she THOUGHT they were pens but after playing with mine for a while, I realized it's a pencil and I can't figure out how to get the lead to go back in What kind of PNAS is this?

A good time was had by all, Dinner was delicious and we laughed so much! Till we meet again .... Pet Talk peeps are the BEST!

[Killearn Kitties]

It looks such fun! Pictures and everything - thanks for thinking of us! I just know that you had a great time.

I am so impressed by Mario's studying. I mean hanging around in bars is all very well, but a good education is SO important!

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

Here LH, here's a large Irish to help those meds along. Hope everyone is having a good President's Day.
