Thursdays #40 - Hard Day's Night

[gini]

Hey, here I am, I yam............

Yesterday was just one of those days from hell............my painter showed up (didn't know he was coming) to put on new hardware in my service porch he had just painted. Then he tells me that he wants to paint my picnic table. I was thinking June would have been a good month to do that - right before the BBQ. But he is here......so why not? It is a redwood table. He goes to get the paint and comes back with FIRE ENGINE RED. The color was sort of like Tray's slicker. Uh, I don't think so.........I say.

With all of this going on it was after 2:30 pm when he left. I had so much work to do - just kept at it until late last night. I had no fun at all.

Gotta share a funny Beatles story with you - I will start another post.

[gini]

Yup, it's me again.

My step-mother had a sister who was a nun. She was teaching in a Catholic high school here in California. I remember having this conversation with her about the Beatles.

She remarked that the lyrics were just plain stupid............
yellow submarine - yellow submarine - yellow submarine......now isn't that stupid?

And she was teaching her whole class that these guys would just never make it.

I remember standing there thinking (keep your mouth shut....keep your mouth shut......keep your mouth shut.)

[Corinna]

Sorry to hear about the rotten day. Glad your here now though . Did you ever say aanything to the nun ?
well it's really snowing here now. YUCK I WANT SPRING!!!!!!!!

[lbaker]

And THEIR generation had such intellegent lyrics....
itty bitty fissies in a widdie bittie pond, and dey fwam and dey fwam all over da dam oh yeah

[gini]

For everyone that fell, ouch! and I hope nothing is broken.

I have a neighbor who tripped on a tiny raised portion of sidewalk - and went down hard. She has a fracture in her pelvic bone - it has been five weeks and she still isn't back to 100% - has to use a cane or walker. So everyone, please be careful.

Now, on to more serious things........I think I need a nice strong bloody mary this morning. Oh, does that sound good - with a crisp piece of celery.

Tray, your slicker is so becoming (or going) on you............

Mario - quit spitting those pits all over the place...........you just hit me on the nose!

[Corinna]

That is if it had words the big band era. I still like some of it too.

No, contradicting a nun fell into the category of some major mortal sin........(with a lot of hell to pay), so I kept my mouth shut!

One did not mess with the step-mother's family - they were all gods of some sort. Never did figure out which kind.....

Hey gini, good to see you! Mario leave her alone!!

Corinna, She is now wanting to move her wedding up to December if her fiancee's brother can come in on leave. If not then they are planning for May or June. She has me so confused, I feel like banging my head on the wall.

Thanks for the sites, I am going to put them in a folder for her, so she can look at them. I may be asking for help big time, as my brain just don't seem to want to work.

She has done picked out what kind of cake she wants, somethng about stairs and a water fountain. I said 'a water fountain on a cake???' I ask her wouldn't he cake get mushy. See I have no idea about some of the stuff she is talking about.

Strong drink please!!

[Corinna]

I'm not cathloic so I plead ignorance of the whole holier than thou thing. My god mother does have a brother who is a preast. cool guy maybe not the typical one he worked with the young people .now retired anout 6 years ago. does missions work around the world.


Yea we are having a fountion also its a neat thing , its like the little ones you can buy as decorations. Their topper is a presious moments couple in western outfits and a rope knot tied in to it.

Hello everyone!

Sounds like wedding planning for my niece.

Happy Anniversary to Robin and Alden! Twenty one years calls for a big celebration! I hope you guys have a hundred more wonderful years!

I am glad Catmandu is back, I missed him and his cats!

Richard are you around ? I sure would like a coffee!

[Corinna]

So far Richard hasn't checked in but I can handle coffee just not mixed drinks haven't a clue. grab some quiche before its all gone.

[lbaker]

Someone just made a big fresh pot of coffee (not as fresh as that Mario, what's gotten into him, the little imp!?) Would you like a splash of Kahlua in that? The baked apples are ready and there is some quiche left too. Sit yourself on down in front of the fire, I'll serve

[dukedogsmom]

Just checking in from work. I would ask for some peppermint schnapps to be added to coffee but that wouldn't do at work so regular coffee it is. Wish it was cold enough here to enjoy a good fire. That sounds wonderful.

[trayi52]

I think with all you guys helping me through this, I just might live through it!!

I would just love to take one step at a time. So Corinna, the fountain cake is beautiful? Thats what she wants, so I guess thats what she will have..

Thanks everyone!

Happy Anniversery Robin, and many, many more!!

[gini]

Tray, there is a book that I bought for my niece when she was planning her wedding and it was extremely helpful. It included every possible option and idea for weddings.....so you didn't forget anything.

It also had places or pockets in it to keep notes, make a journal, a to-do list and on and on.

It just helped her keep on track and more organized. Of course, I don't recall the name or author/publisher. But I bought it at a Barnes and Noble store. (you could look on-line).

Relax, Mom, it will all fall into place. Enjoy the chaos!!

You look lovely in red, Tray!
