73349 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Good Friday morning. The volunteer situation has gone all willy_nilly and I am not screaming a bit but I tell you what, I've made a quick turnaround from "You got to dance with the one that brung you" to "freshly boiled syrup being carried across thin ice." We'll see how things go. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Good morning! 🎉Happy 9th Birthday, ITT! 🎉 Lots of noisy, flashy storms over night. It sounds like Alabama will be getting more today. Poor Alabama always gets socked this time of year. A lady from an organization that raises money for families to adopt by helping widows with projects around the house is coming to see me this morning for a possible fund raiser. We helped the family of a friend with their adoption project several years ago and did some painting of a local lady's house and yard work, fixed some light fixtures and a few things like that. The girls' scout trip to Atlanta has been put off until tomorrow due to possible dramatic storms on their driving route today. Coffee! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 On this fine morning in history, I stand before you all to say thank you. Thank you for being awesome elephant ninja chicks. Thank you for making me laugh at loud, or at least chuckle under my breath often. Thank you for being as close to sisters as one can have in a non-IRL relationship. You are all beautiful, sweet, smart, and wicked cool, and my life is better for having known you. I think sometimes today everyone should post their speech. And we need cupcakes. And champagne. (N/A for those who abstain, of course.) And SWB should definitely stop by... Because we are apparently all her besties. 😘 to all!

Susan in TN Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Good morning! I was up extra early to bring the girls to scouts - they're driving to the Georgia museum today and then camping overnight. Otherwise today I have a little get-together with some church ladies (lol) and I'm hoping to get the floors mopped. I can't find my little yellow travel sketchbook and it's a little concerning. I'm pretty sure it's in the house. The conch shell has not been blown yet. We're all wondering what Laz is thinking. #bm100 #kittykontent Coffee!

Wheres Toto Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Morning, Happy Saturday. I cleaned my living room yesterday (I'm really really bad at housework so that is an occasion). Now I have space to do yoga in the mornings. I really need to get back to that because my muscles are achy again. Today I'm going into work to do some arranging. I had to move some stuff out of the way because the town put in a new water meter and it was in my closet. Now I have to move things back but we're also rearranging a classroom since we moved the junior room and put in shelves. Looks like I did hire an admin. She won't be starting until August but I had mentioned it to some people and one of them was interested so brought it up to me. We met so we could see if she was even interested once she knew what it entailed and she was. I'm excited, I think she'll be really good at it. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Good Morning!! COFFEE!!~D Saturday!! Finally got a decent amount of sleep. My mom and I are going to the nursery today to get some tomatoes. I have a couple of large urns to deal with in the front yard. They’ve had tall junipers in them for a couple years, but it’s just not right. So, I guess I will fill them with some flowers. I will get those at the nursery, too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there's no real rule that it has to start on the weekend, but sheesh. In the meantime, I'm going to watch the youtube documentary that was made on the 2023 race - I believe there were 3 finishers!

No - they haven't started yet. You will probably not find anything on the internet. The First Rule of Barkley is you do not talk about Barkley, lol. At least not until it's started. Twitter/X @keithdunn and #bm100 are really the only reliable sources of information. Keith will let everyone know as soon as the Conch is blown. Kitty pic posting has increased dramatically due to the intense waiting! Most people are predicting Monday (between midnight and noon). Since there were 3 finishers last year, they are expecting extra shenanigans from Laz. Edited March 17 by Susan in TN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And photoshopped pics of Kate Middleton posing in front of the Yellow Gate. Today we have all the usual things plus the girls will have to leave choir early to get to a different troop's meeting and help with their OA election. I might try to get to a store. I need to find a postcard to send to The Lost Kitchen. Coffee! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
