13872. Macnas - 2/18/2005 9:45:45 AM Hello.
Been busy, have lurked, will lurk again no doubt. Talk with ye later. 13873. Magoseph - 2/18/2005 1:39:43 PM Thanks, Mac--have a good weekend. 13874. wonkers2 - 2/18/2005 2:19:23 PM Good morning Mago. You're up early as usual. Have a good day! 13875. Max Macks - 2/18/2005 7:38:55 PM lurking ,,,,,, a day of death today?? 13876. Magoseph - 2/18/2005 8:03:16 PM Oh, thank you, won—I am always up around three in the morning—an old habit that came from wanting peace and quiet when my boys were small children.
,,,,,, a day of death today??
Yes, Max, it was a week of death really. 13877. judithathome - 2/19/2005 5:41:25 PM This afternoon we are going to a play...Vanities*...and then out to dinner to celebrate one of our friend's securing a teaching position in Vienna.
*Vanities...with a different cast, of course. 13878. arkymalarky - 2/19/2005 7:12:36 PM Congrats to your friend! I'm hoping to get my house and car in order this weekend. They're both a wreck. I finally finished that paper and now I need to get caught up on everything else, including a stack of papers. After that, except for a few events between now and early April, things should be much less hectic. After the first of April they definitely will be. 13879. PelleNilsson - 2/19/2005 8:49:02 PM How many times over the past two years or so have you made that prediction, arky? 13880. arkymalarky - 2/19/2005 11:10:35 PM Hahaha. Too many. 13881. arkymalarky - 2/19/2005 11:13:04 PM In fact, I saw my brother yesterday at my parents' house (he lives a few hours away) and when I told him the same thing he just rolled his eyes. 13882. alistairConnor - 2/20/2005 12:09:47 PM Yes well when I get back from this holiday then I'm going to put my house in order. That's what I'll do. My word yes. 13883. arkymalarky - 2/20/2005 7:45:36 PM Hope you're having fun, btw.
We've decided we're not going anywhere this summer. We may change our minds and do a short stint within a one-day drive, but nothing lengthy. I'm actually excited about the prospect of being domestic all summer. Mose will be here, though she'll be working a lot, I'm sure. 13884. arkymalarky - 2/20/2005 7:47:14 PM And this summer I WILL put my house in order. I used to do that every summer, and I'm going to get back to it--including paint.
Paint and repairs. 13885. SnowOwl - 2/20/2005 9:37:56 PM We did a LOT of work on our house recently and now I've run out of steam, with some things still not finished. Even my beloved garden has been left to its own devices but, unfortunately, the weeds are winning the war.
I'm putting my faith in winning Lotto so I can move out and have a team of workmen move in to complete the job.
My faith seems a bit misplaced though. 13886. PelleNilsson - 2/20/2005 10:08:45 PM It's the last 10% syndrome. I recognize it all too well. 13887. arkymalarky - 2/20/2005 10:21:22 PM Oh yeah. We had that after we built our house. But we got it all done within a few years (porch fans, finishing areas, etc.). 13888. judithathome - 2/21/2005 9:19:20 PM Jeez, it is in the 80s today! Arky, are you having the same thing? 13889. arkymalarky - 2/21/2005 10:12:10 PM Yep. It's gorgeous outside, but I got home from Hot Springs and turned the AC on. It was very damp last night too--beautiful moon, but fog on the ground in the yard. Very pretty and creepy. 13890. arkymalarky - 2/21/2005 10:14:25 PM And I have the first head cold I've had since I started allergy treatments. I'm attributing it to running out of Zyrtec and skipping two days of it, but the crud's been going around. It's not nearly as bad as just daily stuff before this summer, though. Enough to remind me that the shots and meds are worth it. 13891. Magoseph - 2/21/2005 11:29:22 PM It is 31 here and it snowed last night. I went out right after the township’s ploughs had gone around--good thing because it snowed again mid-morning. Right now, I just came back from another round--I'll be darned if I lose all the tightness I have achieved this last year. I am going out again before it gets dark--I will combat the winter doldrums getting lean and muscled—that is what I am going to do everyday.
