Wednesday chat

It's cold here too but not frosty.  I think it was 38 F but we'll be warm again this afternoon. 

Slept terrible or rather didn't sleep.  Between my head cold, DH's snoring, Rex's diarreah it seemed like I never slept.  Dragging this morning.  Oh and to make my morning complete Ruger killed a cat in the backyard at work this morning. 

The high here today is supposed to be 34. I'm still looking for a good deal on a new winter jacket that I actually like.

That's a lot of people for dinner, Karen. Are you providing all the food?

Jackie, I'm sorry you didn't sleep well and sad about the kitty. Hopefully Rex's diarrhea is nothing too serious.

Must work now.

Passing some tequila to Karen and Jackie.

Yikes Jackie - what a night and morning you've had. (((Hugs)))

Yikes Karen - that's a lot of people. I couldn't fit 34 people in my house, let alone think of stuff to feed them all.

The news is really hyping up the storm(s) rolling in. I hope it won't be as bad as they're making it sound but it will definitely be a miserable few days. Somehow we're going to have to find breaks in the weather to get Shane out for walks. Even with a couple walks a day, he can be pesky when he's bored.

Oye, sounds like a bad morning already.

Speaking of alcohol, if anyone is curious, the Smirnoff Iced Cake Vodka tastes like cake batter ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery.  I bought one of those nips when I was picking up the caramel vodka for our autumn-themed party.  Just tried it last night.

If it wasn't so cold, I could use some cake batter ice cream right now.

My husband is nuts and making me crazy. That's all I have.

Here ya' go Karen - have a couple of shots, then call a caterer.

This morning Willa was looking through her shirts hanging in her closet, trying to decide what to wear to school. She came across her pirate shirt (that she picked out of the boys' department of Kohl's last summer) and quickly pulled it out. She said, "Sometimes at school the boys don't let me play with them. So maybe if I wear this boy shirt they'll let me play." OMG my heart broke into a million pieces. She wasn't really too sad about it, more matter-of-fact. If she had been more sad I probably would have started crying. This poor girl. She's such a tomboy. And she's so shy. I know how hard it must have been for her to ask to play… and then to get shot down. Ugh. I so remember that spirit-crushing feeling from when I was little. I didn't even know what to say. I'll talk to her more about it later; kind of hard to have a heart-to-heart during the morning rush.

On a lighter note, I just got a text from DH, who is at work, "Someone here just told me that without the moon we wouldn't have night, because the moon covers up the sun."

I asked him if he was having a conversation with a 3-year-old. lol! I'm sure we'd have some problems if the moon went away, but not having night probably wouldn't be one of them!! I'm guessing this conversation stemmed from a little bit of the news we watched last night, about how like in the 60s or something, the US wanted to nuke the moon to show off for Russia.

 15 minutes later and I am STILL. LAUGHING. So sad but still so **** funny!
