AMJ Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 117 new posts? Seriously? Hey, we went paddling this morning first thing, then cleaned up afterward and got supper started. Now I have multiple pages of catching up to do. Again. I love this thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I'll tell you in another life when we are both cats. Then you will dream of being pregnant with humans. Or birds. Maybe birds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 All caught up and I had to retype 'caught' about 10 times. I'm more tired than I thought. DH is smoking shrimp and steaks -- guess I'll go do more supper prep. I'm hungry after all of our paddling today, but it was really nice. We saw some really cool spiders that RUN on the water.

I've heard of smoking many things - cigarettes, weed, cigars, etc. - never heard of smoking shrimp and steaks. How does that work? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Kinda. But I get to listen to people with different accents speak English. That's a little interesting. That's racist. I'm doing these East Indian yoga tutorials on the interwebs by this Norwegian dude who teaches Brazilian Jujitsu in Utah. It's very multicultural. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Ya'll are full of mess. It is taking everything I have ATM to not fall asleep on the couch with Lily cat in my lap at 7 pm. ZZZZZZZ...... Little dd wants me to get her a book she started reading at Half Price Books with her dad last night while I was at karaoke and laser tag with my middle aged mom peeps last night. It was about "the history of dogs" and nonfiction and called "The Underdog" and written by a man whose first name starts with an I and last name starts with a Z. Yet, my searches turn up nothing so I am putting you all loose on that project. Sadly, I have failed. Why she did not ask her dad to buy it for her last night, I do not know. He would have. I am wanting to jump in the car and rush over to buy it for her since she was really adorable about it, but my couch and my cat are too comfy. The crazy dog barked at 3 am and I had to take her to the garage. Then I had trouble going back to sleep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she may have some of her information wrong or we may be dealing with an earlier edition so the look of the cover has changed.

lots of little ducklings Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I have not been on a date in years. Play footsie for me. Footsie played, margarita consumed, awesomest-sitter-in-the-world paid and driven home. Tell your hubby I said he needs to take you on a date! (I know; dates are expensive. We live in a very expensive area and until recently dh had a very…shall we say, modest income. Thankfully a job change, plus a friend whose lovely daughter will sit kiddos for cheap, allows us one date night per month now. It really is refreshing.) Really, you need to date. Matt, that is. Not Renai. :D 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Dh and I went years without dates. Now we can drive off and wave goodbye to the kids for a couple of hours and all is well. <gasp> I truly thought that day would never come. We do, however, have to hire a babysitter for Nan. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
