Oh joy!
The Office Narcissist (TON) wants to take me to lunch tomorrow. What fun!
Don't forget to take an MP3 player / IPod ... and Tums.
Just have this running in the back of your head as the soundtrack and it'll be much easier.
I am getting flashbacks to The Benny Hill show...good stuff there.
On the bright side,you have just found your target to help site in your friends scope. A little to the left,now a little to the right. Bazinga!!
Does your friend happen to be an Aussie with an RV?
I think we may have finally overloaded the Klatsch's Youtue plugin. I'm not seeing anything we posted at all anymore...
Well...fudge...
*Youtube even. Haste makes waste.
Not shocked.
We went over the 3-prong limit?
Yay, we got our video's back! I guess someone hit the degauss button.
WOW. I haven't heard the degauss button being mentioned for a long, long time... Old school.
Stupidly crazy week here or me. How is everyone doing?
Odd as today I am pretty much dressed identical to bachelor #1 on the left.
See my 8:55 comment...
HA! – Power Pink. Not a good color on me and it doesn't bode well with my salt and pepper hair.
How are things in MHC?
Things are great here. Looking forward to a half day tomorrow, and hitting the trap range on Saturday.
How about you?
Ready for this week to end and then its a weekend of grillin'. Other than that just trucking along here with 9 weeks to go until the lack of sleep starts all over again.
I knew it! Blond hair, blue eyes, all buttoned down and proper – during daylight hours. ;)
"during daylight hours"......the KEY words!
How you doin'?
Doin' fine, doin' fine. Busier than a one-armed woman at the Wallpapering Olympics. Training the gnu eng, trying to work on a new project and educating the non-eng newbies in the ways & wiles of engineering. Days are going by quickly.
According to TWO, our hustle & bustle is shaking up in the DC area. ;)
hussle and bussle in the DC area....huhhhh?!?!?
This just in, people are freakin idiots:

If WD and I are fishing in a Bass Boat....Can we legally keep the catfish and redfish that we hook? This has bugged me for a long while.
I don't care if catfish were falling from the sky, they are going home with me. Let me know if you want me to email my recipe for grilling them. Tasty little buggers.
Better than being caught in a Treble Boat. That gets all high-pitched & squeaky. Nast.
@Mary keep thinkin of dream today and maybe tonight u just might get ur ending
Don't you hate it when you're in the middle of a dream and the alarm goes off? You never know how it ends.
I know the feeling, especially if it's one of my more vivid/crazy ones...

Welcome! PA is a big move from Scotland :)
Shirley U Jest...I've been thru Scotland,Texas many times. It's a small town.
And stop calling me Shirley.
Good Morning and Welcome to the Lounge. I think you will find we are a light hearted group. Jump in anytime you want.
Thanks, Rich. Don't mind if I do ...
Good morning and a big welcome to you!
What part of western PA?
Any big plans for the long weekend?
Welcome, Caroline. I'm a big fan of Scotland, I spent 6 weeks there one year on business (2 in January, the last 4 in May/June) and fell in love with the area. I would have happily stayed there for the duration of the project but it got cancelled.
Does this Kilt make my butt look Big? Shamrock ice cream for all.
Welcome! I spent a week in your lovely homeland last October and fell in love with it. We'll do our best to make you feel at home here.
Good morning all!
Is that TWO and Biddle in today's picture?
How is everyone doing today?
Good Morning my Brother...Biddle is Rockin' the Power Pink outfit this morning.He must be headed to DDD after work. :)
I'm not blond so I would be the one rocking the "power" pink, or as I call it "I washed reds and whites together" pink.
Good Morning Sista' and Thanks for the Java. Here is my day so far......
I woke up
I took a shower
I brushed my teeth
I am drinking my coffee on the deck while watching WD TCB in the backyard.
Anyway, a follow up on JBJ--Air Franceazz (JBJ's term ) lost her stroller ( her customized walker ) so she had a hard time walking around Denmark. But the ladies are troopers and made the best of the situation. On the bright side, AF found the walker and delivered it to the cruise ship which they will be on today. They haven't hit Russia yet. She is having fun tho.
@TWO...Where you been? How's the mudder training going?
I've been slammed at work. Haven't had much time for training recently. Now that the weather is nicer I can do the fun stuff like free climbing and trail running. How are you and WD?
Sounds like your gettin' it together. Good Luck on the race. WD and I are doing fantastic.....getting ready for the long weekend and cookout.
Nice :) I'm grilling up some chicken, stuffed burgers and snausages on Saturday and having a bunch of people over...or so my girlfriend told me last night.
HA ! Gotta keep Momma Happy :)) It feels good getting back into the Grilling Mode. Yes Ladies,it's a Man Thing.
The weathers been good here. I've already grilled out 3 times in the last month. Nothing like sipping a cold beer while standing over a hot grill...
*shudders* I wouldn't let either of them manage my hedge fund – or my hedge.
Rich, thanks for the update on Ms. Jingles. I hope she tries some gen-y-ine borscht while she's there.
Happy morning Chumarinos! Grab some coffee, chocolate or tea and tell me about your day.
What's shaking? Anything exciting been happening recently in my absence?
Depends on what kind of shoes I'm wearing when I sashay across the room. ;) How've ya been, TWO?
