Ellie Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Y'all, Mr. Ellie and I have been fired from the bagpipe band. Apparently we don't play well enough for the band. So now they have no drummers. They cannot compete as a band with no drummers. No other drummers have shown an interest in joining the band. Such is life. More free time for me. On the down side, we acquired quite a bit of drumming paraphernalia (drums, bass drum beaters, clothing parts) that we'll have to think about selling or something. Whatevs. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome A friend has Princess Bride parties, wherein she invites friends and prints copies of the script; each friend has to choose a part, and then reads that part along with the movie. Of course, sometimes people have more than one part. I have always wanted to do that. :-) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Good morning! Godspeed, Angi! So, have there been studies done on the sleep habits of pregnant wombats with gingivitis? Somehow that doesn't seem very promising. More fiddle camp today. I need to stop at the store for some jam supplies and I'll pick up my bushel of peaches this afternoon. I ordered 2nds (not perfect) and hope they are pretty decent. And ripe. They usually are good, and half the price of the 1st quality ones. Coffee! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Speaking of wombats, there’s a documentary on Netflix about koalas. Do Not Watch!!! It is traumatizing.

Critterfixer Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 My children have returned. I was presented with coffee cups to celebrate, and a bottle of huckleberry syrup. Guess I'll be making pancakes tomorrow. I got a whirlwind tour via 700 pictures, and then both children bolted to check their gardens.

However, I read several articles today that suggested rolling your IT band is probably not as effective as simply doing deep stretches of the muscles around it. Stair skipping walk. Wall sitting. Assisted squatting. My goal is to be able to do a resting squat. And eventually maybe even kneel on the floor without severe pain. Also I have to stop eating popcorn and corn products because they automatically make things hurt and not work right. Stupid corn. I love you too much. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Good morning. I'm starting the morning as low as a toad for some reason. I think it was going to bed later than usual. I think I'll make the boys start the bedtime merry-go-round a little earlier tonight. Last night one was still trotting back and forth on errands at almost eleven, and I turned into a pumpkin at ten. Apparently, they turned into night owls over vacation, but since I had to be up before the sun every day of the last two weeks to do chores I was way too tired to be pleasant. Imma have my caffeine now and stop complaining about my blessings, who are currently out messing with their plants. Probably hunting for squash bugs. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Coffee! It's raining and I woke up to DD(10) cooking a "surprise" and she's not the DD who knows how to cook so it was more like a disaster. So MORE coffee!! And DH is on his 1st full day at work since Feb so I have to actually be the parent when I'm used to being the lazy.

I have a regular old white bread recipe for batter bread.
