It would be so nice being Bob is in from Singapore and 3 men with 1 bathroom won't work so well.

Can't be as bad as three women and one bathroom!

Good morning! Someone brought in raspberry danish for breakfast this morning - a truly good Friday.

True, Moony. Although when my other half gets in there you can eat a 3 course meal before he's done.

He's probably busy taking pictures.

The 2 of you are crazy LOL!

Of course they are, Boobs. We all are. It runs in the framily.

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 9/23/11 at 1:09pm

We may well be crazy....but we still want to see the photos. Just wanted to make that clear.

Remember when I fell down the rabbit hole last year? It happened again last night. I had filled the old hole with six bags of soil and then expanded the garden and placed a stepping stone over it to the bird bath. So, I step on it last night to fill the bird feeder and bird bath and next thing I know I'm up to my waist -- in the ground. It seems that a rabbit burrowed a hole under the stepping stone and all the water from August/September made it collapse. Frickin' frackin' bunnies!

I'll send the groundhog over...I'm sure they eat rabbits.

I hope you all had a great weekend.

Mornin'

We played host to J2's brother and his wife this weekend. I guess one could now refer to them as my brother- and sister-in-laws, but one doesn't really care to do that.

Morning peeps. I have been in work since 6:22 a.m.
Stomach: 1 Alarm clock: 0 I begged and pleaded with said stomach, but it just wouldn't cooperate this morning.

Good news is the bathroom is almost completely done. I just have to hang the window treatment after my amazing better half finishes what he started yesterday while I was enjoying "Follies". He took care of everything I would have done if I didn't go to "Follies" He tricked me into thinking he was going to visit his mother, but stayed at my house and did MY chores.

I want one of him!

Deetie, I played host to my sister and brother-in-law. It was an expensive weekend. My sister "made" me buy a sofa.

Now, I've got to find a way to get rid of the old one.

The brother isn't too bad, he's sort of a non-entity. But the wife! A very limited, frightened woman. From the moment she got to the apartment to the moment she left, she never shut up about how BIG New York is, how CRAZY the people are, how CROWDED it all is nahnahnahnahnahnahnahnahnah...

We took them to dinner at one of Bobby Flay's restaurants and the menu was "too exotic" (Duck! Rabbit! Steak!), then to the Top of the Rock where she proceeded to take (flash) pictures of the Empire State Building, and then asked (loudly) where the Empire State Building was.

We were exhausted when they left, especially me because I had been nice for over 24 hours. Really, really nice. You know how difficult that is for me.

You had the opportunity to scare the crap out her and never have to have them visit again, and didn't take it?

[Q]

Posted: 9/26/11 at 8:11am

Morning.

D2, next time you're here, I'll take you to meet my brother-in-law (the Christian music producer) and his wife (the agoraphobic shopaholic.) It'll cleanse your mind.

Good morning.

I had a very low key weekend. Watched Mad Men Season 3 yesterday.

[D2]

Posted: 9/26/11 at 8:17am

It's been 9 years since their last visit, I'm reasonably sure it will be at least that long 'til their next. And as for us taking them up on their offer to visit them in Pittsburgh, as Joe so blithely put it after they left:

"Yeah, that's not gonna happen."

It really makes me appreciate my sister even more.

Now I know why it was so humid in the City yesteday...it was Deet boiling over being nice.

BTW...as I was on 10th Ave. walking back to my car after Follies who happened to be strolling by with the sun illuminating his gorgeous blue eyes? None other than the beautiful Cheyenne Jackson. He was looking exceptionally gorgeous...he slimmed down. I turned to my sons and said "do you know who that was?" I was trying to remember if they saw him in anything when the Cup A said "He was in 'All Shook Up'" Cup Z could care less. He said "He can't be that important if he has no body guards" LOL

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 9/26/11 at 9:08am

So, Chey lives in Hell's Kitchen? Let the stalking begin.

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 9/26/11 at 9:08am

He he. Gotta love Cup Z.

'Morning! Sounds like I didn't miss much at the Flea Market - excpet the crowds. Boobs - how was Follies? Much different from DC?
