Way to pinch hit, Non!
Haven't participated in a while here, thought I'd dip my toes back in the water. Second Mothers' Day (in the US) sober, second one without her. Bittersweet. But a good weekend up ahead: coffee with a dear friend, tackling a couple of projects started this week, dinner and silly games, a date, rehearsal, and Game of Thrones. No spoilers from last week's episode, I beg you!
Have a good one, everybody!

Hi everyone! No plans for me just yet (have had a busy couple of weekends) so I am quite looking forward of seeing how it goes. The only thing I do know that is no alcohol will be consumed!! 35 days sober and enjoying my weekends more than ever :-)

Yes, pine!
Yes, bacon!
Yes, more puns!
Yes, Mother's Day! (Thanks for the reminder!)
21 year's ago was Mrs. Non's first Mother's Day (as a mom). I was in the Navy and had duty on Saturday, meaning I had to sleep on the submarine. I walked off the boat Sunday morning and stopped at the base exchange (store) to find a gift. What caught my eye? - an electric popcorn popper.
Epic fail.
This has become a family joke - the tale of how NOT to give a gift on Mother's Day.

I am finally going to accept the fact that my appliances are dying. My dishwasher kaput last night; my fridge is running constantly, and my son has a pencil and paperclip in the buzzer on my stove to keep buzzer from randomly going off in the middle of the night. I will go appliance shopping (and installation?) this weekend....a Mother's Day gift to myself! So glad the weekend is almost here!

I am off today! I would like to get my deck cleaned up, scrub the patio furniture and get my planters ready for some good blooms...not doing much this year as there is major construction ongoing, both inside and out on the lawn/street.....new water lines replacing old ones, new ceramic tile floor in master bedroom.
Clover I just replaced all m y kitchen appliances...LG quiet dishwasher, french door fridge, GE profile slide in, double oven with convection.

Non, I was going to groan big time at the title pun--but then I saw Ruby's and got into the spirit!
I hope you like the house Mecanix!
I hope everybody else has a lovely weekend, too!
This is the week that I'm finally taking my sad friend to the terrific French restaurant. We are going to bask and luxuriate (wine free). We will stay overnight for a movie-watching girlfest in the mountains--and BACON is definitely on our menu for Saturday morning!
Supposedly my laziest of all three lazy sons will cook me breakfast on Mother's Day! (I had to goad him into it--and, surprisingly, he volunteered! Usually he insists I cook him something 24/7!).

Hey team!
Non... The man.... Awesome start to this weekend.
I called in "sick" today. Now that I don't miss work because I was drunk I felt obligated to myself to take a mental health day. Work has been intense and so have I. Not sure I am necessarily happy at this moment but I also don't care to try and figure it out. Just be.
Got a new computer a week ago now and still have been avoiding transferring everything. But it's got to be done.
I thought I was gonna have to go to New York to visit someone but I backed out of it. Not strong enough at the moment.... And certainly not interested in challenging my sobriety. I just don't have it in me to drink. It's too hard. So I will sit quietly at home alone. Safe and snuggly.
Oh! And with you and captain non!

Good in calling in sick Weasel! Enjoy your day.
I'm about to get ready for work. Pouring rain here but cooler than the 90 plus we had yesterday. Awesome!
Good luck appliance shopping. Need a fridge myself. Mine freezes everything in the back. Dishwasher? I have the old fashioned mine and have dishpan hands to show for it. If and when we redo the kitchen I want a dishwasher.
Welcome and welcome back to everyone. Have a happy Friday. Meeting for me tonight.

(this is not my actual room, but the tile is the same as my kitchen which is 12x24 laid in the subway style)

Happy Friday Weekenders!
I would love ceramic tile in my house! The whole cat and dog thing. That is going to be put into next years budget.
Brain, I got my seeds from Territorial Seed company. They have plants too. They may have what you are looking for. They ship fast.
Now, does anyone have a cure for slugs?

Hi everyone... I am definitely IN for a sober weekend! If it ever stops raining, I'm going to get some flowers for my patio, and make some glass art. I also need to clean out my closet but I think that's getting a little too ambitious and I really don't feel like doing it yet.
