Yeah, once in awhile we get a thump too, Schumi. Thankfully, most of the time we find a dazed bird. I let DH dispose if it is dead. We used to have a blue jay peck at our sliding glass doors every once in awhile. Not sure if he liked or disliked what he saw.
Oh no Mac, hope your roof repair people are not those that will be arguing over soccer. LOL Actually, hope you get it fixed quick, as I know you are getting the rain like we are.
And a what for dinner. Choice for kids, pot stickers or pasta. I guess they will pick when they get home.
Oh so muggy lunchtime walk. Almost hard to breathe. But we have had sun, then clouds, but surely feels like it will rain. It's just where you happen to be in the unlucky cell of rain. And we have a flooding warning, from 1pm today until 11am tomorrow. Seems any downpour can give us 2 to 3 inches of rain, in less than an hour. Sigh, hope the home commute does not have rain, or flooded roads.
lol....that`s funny imagining a bird pecking at itself...….although not so good for your window!!! Birds can do damage......I hate hearing that thump...….we do sometimes see almost like a full bird mark on the glass where it`s went in full force…..we could make out a face once.....was strangely funny to imagine it`s last seconds!!!!
I`ve never made pot stickers at home. Yep, hope your journey home was uneventful and today is better...….
Quick lunch fly by!
Charade I hate being bored at work!! luckily in my career and currently in Nursing homes I can always find something-although the kitchen staff gets nervous when i start really poking around. They always hope I have lots of clinical stuff so I don't have time for big kitchen inspection (I am RD consulting for nursing homes)
Congrats to Schumi's Kyle!! Sounds like he has really found his niche and so nice to be recognized for the work!!
Ugh Robo-hope the headache gets better!
Yes Yay for september trips! Our flight leaves at 6 am for our HHN trip-but out of our small airport no one will be at the airport before 5:15 and its only 15 min away...
DH off to Chicago this am-back tomorrow. Son starts soccer camp Friday. I have Queen City board retreat at Table rock lake this weekend. Family reunion next weekend at Lake Ozark. Both older DD's flying in for the reunion.
Alysa in New Mexico is having a ball-although she has a bit of a cold. All the earthquake activity is exciting for geologists I guess. She is getting her data together from the Alaska trip for her poster she has to present in December. She and a roommate are doing a sunrise balloon ride this Saturday too.
Think we narrowed down dates for France next May. Now to be patient and hang on for good air prices. Did find a good price on British Air, but has 1.5 hour layover in Heathrow, vs $100 more for direct flight to Paris.
69 days to HHN!!
Thanks Monyk…….he is enjoying the world of finance......me, I have no head for numbers at all.....must get that from his dad!!!
Reunion sounds good this weekend......and yes the earthquake will have been exciting for folks in that field......hope her cold is better soon though....I know very little of New Mexico...…
I`d go for direct with your flights if you can. Heathrow is a massive airport and if you need to change terminals it can be a nightmare. Is British Airways your only option for flights?
Yes, September is getting closer!!!!
@schumigirl What a great treat for your son!!! It's always nice when their efforts are recognized and rewarded. I know that our daughter was given priority seats in the company sky box for the Calgary Stampede this weekend with some of the big wigs and bigger customers they have. She had to turn them down as they are on their way here to visit for the weekend. But she was flattered after all the hard work she does for them, it is nice to be appreciated and recognized.
We also have trouble with birds hitting some of our windows. Only...sometimes it's from sunlight at the wrong times reflecting the skies...but mostly...it's from drunk birds who have eaten too many fermented berries from the trees. I guess drunk flying is not any better than drunk driving
Well...my workday is almost done here. Paperwork is all filled, and now it's just counting down until quitting time. We are heading out to the lake again tonight. I DD and sil are on their way to visit for the weekend. It will be just out at the lake and not the hubby's extended family. The weather looks like it is will be quite nice and not too hot. Hopefully the fish are biting, the mosquitos are not too bad, and that the mud has had a little time to dry so we can do some ATV riding. I might try to pop in over the weekend!
lol....can`t quite imagine drunk birds...….so funny!! Yes, I think they see just see light as there is so much glass and if the sun reflects they just don't see it.....we have the sun at the back of our property for most of the day from around 10am right through till sunset so that's a lot of light to confuse them!!!!
So lovely for your daughter to be recognised that way....sounds as though it would have been a lot of fun....but I`m sure she`ll enjoy seeing you much more.....yes, it is lovely for recognition.
Have a great weekend, sounds like a lovely visit with family.
I think I will use Schumi’s chucking down reference. Oh my, such noisy rain and my phone buzzed with flood warning flooding streets warning. And a lightning strike so close a huge bang and rumble that shook the house and lights flickered. In my window, many flashes of light. And what a commute home, car was driving in a river of a road that when I got to drier street, I could feel the tires grip. Scary enough for me. But lucky, not as much rain at start and end, it was the middle that when my fastest wipers were not not enough. Oh so loud out. Bowling so close in the sky.
Hope all are safe and dry, particularly those having a storm like I am having and those in that hurricane path in the Gulf area of Texas and Louisiana.
Sigh, my goodness the noise of that thunder.
What are you up to tonight? Guess I am not going out, as little one and I had planned. At least that is what I told little one. So a what to watch night for us.
Pasta and red sauce won out, and defrosting a cheesecake we got from Trader Joe’s yesterday.
Yes, chucking it down is quite descriptive at times......lol...….horrible to drive in though.....
We had a tv night last night too......can`t even remember what we watched...….must have been that good!!!!
Good evening. I meant to come and post earlier, but ended up napping instead. Not much worth posting about today. B had her dental appointment and her teeth are fine. No signs of wisdom teeth coming in yet. I have no clue what was causing her pain on Monday. Just glad it went away quickly.
Schumi - Congrats to Kyle.
Pooh - Awesome news about the adoption.
Robo - Hope the headache didn’t stick around too long. I sometimes get bad ones when I’ve been in the heat too long.
Pumpkin - I work in a very small office, so no cleaning crew for us. We only have one man in the office, but I hardly ever see him. He sees his clients in the evenings after I have gone.
Starting to get really sleepy again. Hello to Mac, Lynne, MonyK, Keisha, Sue, Patty, and anyone else I may have missed.
Goodnight y’all.
Thanks......we are so proud of him.
Hope your nap was good...….glad your daughter has no issues yet with wisdom teeth...…
I should probably clarify what I do. I'm an office administrator for a steel company. So I get to deal with too many grumpy oilfield welders. We have men on the front and working on the shop gathering the large pieces of steel. Most days it:s good working with all men, but they can be stinky, gross, crass could mouth and forget that there is a woman in the office. But I get treated well and get any time off I need with no questions asked - which is nice when the kids need me.
lol....back in the day when I worked, I worked in the explosive/chemical industry for many years and my office was a fun place at times...….male and female staff and the language would embarrass a sailor!!! I don`t miss it that's for sure!!!!
Pumpkin, I know how that goes having to deal with males that are stinky and gross
At least you could leave the office and go home to get away from it
I had 4 boys stinky and gross and it was like pulling teeth to get them to shower
(Once they discovered girls, our water bill doubled )
My situation was different that yours
Keep tic tax’s in your pocket and hand them
Out at work
Also spray frabreeze on them if they walk towards you
They will smell better long enough for a 2 minute conversation then
I preached personal hygiene to my kids for years until age 13 when they started to realize girls were cute
lol....I can imagine that water bill going through the roof!!!! And yes, it was nice to be able to leave that atmosphere behind every day...…..
Friday today...…….no plans at all except some housework this morning......not as humid today so will be pleasant....well, as pleasant as housework can be...…...between the two of us we get through most of the house this morning...….rooms we don't use as much can wait for another day...….I do get all the bathrooms to do
Waiting on some clothes being delivered too.....supposed to be today, but we`ll see......and have no idea what`s for lunch or dinner tonight......I do have some brie so that`ll be in my lunch someway...….
Doing a quick fly by!!!!
Your a more patient momma. I don't think that late at night we would have been hitting the makeup counter lol. but then again, I do find myself doing things I thought I would never do!
