The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

I was out at Hobby Lobby, Michaels and Joann's today. I am going to fudge on dinner tonight and make a meal that isn't so healthful. Kraft Deluxe Cheese Noodles, Maple Johnsonville breakfast sausages and apple sauce.

All I heard was "maple breakfast sausages"...!

You guys think the cycle will repeat?
I remember the nonstop complains due of "too many snows" this year D:

or perhaps the opposite? shorter winter with hottest summer ever?

We didn't have a hot summer. Heck, we didn't have a summer. Can we start with that?

My 2nd interview went brilliantly, I thought. Thought I was going to have a tough time getting there because of one way streets but didn't have any problems.

Plus, it helped I thought my interviewer was wicked cute. Yum

Question is, should I send a thank you note or not? Sometimes I think the note is a bite too much.

Glad to hear this one seemed to go well!
Good luck...!

The footage of that NASA supply rocket exploding is amazing.

U.S. Grand Prix comin' up here this weekend. To finish up with a Kid Rock concert.
Also, Fan Fest with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.

The footage of that NASA supply rocket exploding is amazing.

Yea, they just interviewed some engineering students from UT on the local news that had a small satellite on that rocket. 1.5 years of work, up in flames.

Thankfully the job is not going to be where the interview was.

Behind, again, I am...

Had a low of 67 here overnight. High of 86 today.
Trending lower through the rest of the week, with a low of 50 and a high of 73 on Sat., then warming up a bit again.

It hit 82 today. Unbelievable for the end of October. We don't think about snow this time of year like some may (usually, there was a freak October snowstorm 40 miles north of us in PA a few years ago), but we definitely don't think about 80 degree weather either. We won't be seeing 80 for a while now. Going to get cooler (50s).

I did get to eat my lunch outside, though. I missed a test last week, and tests are administered on the older campus, which has the green space the campus I'm usually on lacks. So I had to take a test. But I also enjoyed lunch under a tree outside. So silver linings.

Well this has not been a day to read this thread I guess. Pushing 11pm and I've read the alerts, posted a little and have yet to read the posts.

Good to know I have company.

My comment was only about half serious. I knew I shoulda' used one a' my famous smilies.

I really need to try to use smilies more often.
My writing style, which is generally quite formal, often comes across as unintentionally terse.

Plus, you know, I'm a bit of a sarcastic bee-yatch.

 

[donaldtoo]

Alrighty gang, I'm out...
Sweet Magicals to all...!
See yaaaaaaa'...!!!

 

[JenniferS]

Or, in Orlando, O-World...?

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

I got a new comforter for my bed. I think the cat was more excited about it than me. First, she ran under it and was acting crazy underneath. Then, she kept running across it. Then she was running around the room while jumping on it and running across. Now after all that, she's asleep on it. I guess she approves.

 

[Gabe1]

BINGO!! We have a winner. That was the key element here. Everyone knew each other; people didn't move much at all. We grew up around neighbors of families, and we'd see the kids grow from infants, straight through to college or go in the service. After the kids moved on, the parents still lived there.

And, everyone knew the elderly widow down the street, and she was a big part of our group. My brothers used to shovel the snow for her. She offered them money, but they never took it. In the winter, she liked making hot chocolate for all the kids. She'd see us outside her window, sledding on the street, and call us over to her house. It wasn't the instant hot chocolate either; it was the real deal!!!

That is my Hamlet. Everyone knows everyone and it was a great place to raise kids. But at other times there is a bit too much togetherness in our little Hamlet.

 

[Gabe1]

That's awesome. And everyone looked out or each other.

True. We've endured some major weather things over the years here, when the chips are down the front doors open and everyone (or most) come out and pitch in.

I need a new quilt. I'll get on that someday.

Boy, I'd love to own that home. Amazing. Then I'd paint it all sorts of Happy colors.

So I worked all night and am super tired, but now my condo association is redoing the roof. My cats are going to need Valium for the trauma and I'm going to need an alibi because I'm going to kill the roofers.

I had a roof put on our house when my DS was 3 weeks old. We had major flooding and storms in the area and it was raining in my living room.

I had my snow tires put on today.
Has anyone else done so yet?

I have all weather tires and 4x4
