Ego


He breathes through his nose to keep from wearin' out his teeth.

I'm not so sure I get this one--- any ideas?????

Not much to report tonight.  I renewed my NRP (CPR for newborns) this morning.  Went to the gym this afternoon and then went to Harris Teeter and bought more tilapia to put in the freezer-- pretty boring, huh?

Well, I have a dentist appointment at 7 tomorrow, so I'm off to bed....I'll try to have a more intersting life tomorrow!!!

Later........

Children

Those little 'uns can be as fidgety as grasshoppers but just as cute.

I can think of more than once I wish I had had this saying to describe a child!!-- although, I'm not particuarly fond of grasshoppers-----


We had a nice dinner last night with our supper club.  In January, it has been the custom to go out to eat-- usually we go somewhere that isn't a chain-- and we try to go somewhere a little different.  Last night we went to Klara's.  It is a Czech restaurant in Cary.  There were 14 of us.  I had stuffed potato dumplings with sauerkraut.  It was really filling-- and really good!  There were 2 dumplings on the plate about the size of baseballs, the stuffing was ham and bacon. I only ate one and half the sauerkraut and brought the rest home.

Other than going out last night, it's been a quiet weekend. I spent some time in my studio-- and now, instead of looking like a tornado has gone through there, it looks like a bomb was set off.  Why do I always make a bigger mess when I am trying to clean up???????

Back to work tomorrow........then to the gym....

Take care....

Brother-in-law

He's as useful as a trap door in a canoe.

I suppose there are a lot of brother-in-laws out there who fit this description-- I don't think I can say that about my b-i-l's--- both of them are great family men.  I think either one of them would lasso the moon and stars for their wife if they could.  And, I know Mike would never say anything negative about my brother- one of his b-i-l's, I think deep down, he might be a little afraid of Doug--because I pity the person who mistreats one of his sisters. (no matter how far away we may live)

Tonight we had blackened tilapia and steamed broccoli for dinner.  I stopped on my way home from work to get the tilapia which was on sale at Harris Teeter, as I was going to the front to check out the "bread lady" was bringing out hot sourdough loaves-- I couldn't resist-- it was still warm when I got home-- it was almost as good as the sourdough bread we ate in San Francisco---man was it good!  I treated myself to a couple of glasses of wine--I'll have to pay later, but it was worth it tonight---I've been really good-- no diet Coke, no caffeinne, no artificial sweeteners, very little processed foods,  LOTS of water, lots of fresh fruits and veggies-- I'm not bragging, just making a statement---

I'm off this weekend-- planning to spend some time in my studio tomorrow-- there's a lot of organizing that needs done in there, and I'm not even going to mention all the UFO's living in that room!

Gonna call it a night soon so I can get going in the AM...... take care...later

Happy Thursday

If you know someone who takes way too much time to complete a task, you might say.......

He'd be the right feller to send to the doctor if the devil was sick.


I bet we all know someone who matches this saying! 

Today was miniature club.  We made totebag favors for State Day today and Jeanette passed out the kits to make the bed for our room box.  So, I've got some sanding and staining to do. 

Not much else to report--- have a class at work all day tomorrow.  We are going out to eat Saturday night with some neighbors to a Czech restaurant in Cary.  I'll be sure to give a review. 

Hoping to get some organinzing started around here this weekend-- oh, where to start?????????

Gonna make it an early night.......later.....

HMMMMMMMMM.........

Is it a bad thing I DON'T remember posting last night?????????  I worked 3-11:30 yesterday after working 7P on Monday night--so I only had about 4 hours of sleep between shifts--well, I guess it's time to catch up..

Monday's saying was........

Unreliable person....

He sure ain't someone you'd tie off to in a storm.

Yes,  it is always important to know who/what your anchor is tied to.

and for Tuesday.....

If your friend is suffering from a hangover, you might say....

Looks like you've spent the night sortin' wildcats.

I don't know about you, but I've got a very funny image in my mind!

and to get us up to date----- A Good Ol' Boy.........

....Is tougher than a one-eared alley cat.

I think this one goes with yesterday's saying-- once again, the picture in my head is hilarious!

Well, gotta go pack my dinner and get ready for work....more later........

I'm JUST GONNA SAY THIS ONCE.........

IT'S LATE, I'm tired and I'm medicated.....so, no blog tonight ---get over it, I'll be back..............but.............must sleep now.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................
