Critterfixer Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I think I solved a plot problem tonight. We'll see how it writes in the morning. Tomorrow, I will go waterfall hunting. My back needs a walk, and my eyes need a good dose of spring green. It will be cool, but that's what jackets are for. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With college basketball I just kind of follow ds18's lead. We were rooting for Virginia tonight. (UVa. won.) :) In any game I watch I pick a team to cheer for. Even if I don't like either team, I always choose someone to be happy or sad with. When I was in college I worked on Monday evening. I would get off just in time for the second half of Monday Night Football. There was a big hall with a movie screen for students to watch the game. If the game was two teams that I was ambivalent about, I would cheer for whoever was losing at halftime. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally go for whoever has the cutest players or head coach.😂 But I just picked UK at random. I don’t like basketball at all, but I felt like I needed to pick a team.

I was up at 5:00am baking bread for the Missions bake sale. I don’t really mind getting up early like that. I had the same problem, it was very frustrating. Ran over to the science center, fed the turtle, cleaned the cockroach cage, put a bunch of stuff away, set up school for the kids. Now I'm sitting here procrastinating finalizing my plans for tomorrows classes. I don't know why I just don't feel like doing it. Maybe it's the weather - wet and gloomy - and I just have no motivation. Dd is taking a nap. I hope she isn't coming down with something. She had a long day yesterday too so maybe it's just that combined with the icky weather. So, tomorrow starts the salads for lunch, waiting to eat, exercise more plan. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) PSA: Guillaume Calmettes and Greg Hamilton have started loop 3. It is suspected that Guillaume is going for a "fun run". John Kelly is in camp maybe resting up? Jam Jam and about 7 others are on loop 2. They have until noon. One guy still on loop 1. There is snow on the mountains this morning after getting up to 80 degrees yesterday. They say the most common factor among finishers is having a doctoral degree of some kind. One finisher was a scientist in Antarctica. PSA: In another shocking turn of events, John Kelly has tapped himself out after two loops. 3 are on loop 3. 1 runner still lost on loop 1. PSA: Jam Jam is still in camp - we're waiting to see if he starts a third loop to go for a "fun run". 4 on the 3rd loop. Apparently the rain/sleet/snow has made it nearly impossible to run anywhere. Predictions are that The Barkley will win again this year, but lots of rooting for Guillaume. He's just run 2 marathons through the mountains in a rain storm, sleet, & snow in less than 24 hours. He is smiling. #jamjam He just started loop 3! 5 on loop 3 now. Nope - 6 on loop 3! Plenty of kitty pic tweets to soothe our spirits. Don't mind me. Just sitting here waiting for the kids Sunday School hour to finish. PSA: Alan Holtz, the last remaining runner of loop 1, has come in with a time of over 26 hours. Everyone is now accounted for.

Slache Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Hi. We churches and Wal-Mart pickuped. I like the Wal-Mart pickup! Thanks Angi! Church was a bust. The doctrinal statement on their website was polar opposite of their sermon. And no kids. We want kids. We've been the only kids for 8 years and we've been wanting more kids for several years. 14 hours ago, Jean in Newcastle said: I am releasing the bunnies.
