Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hi all. I was awakened at 6:30 by Isaac. So not planning on getting up that early. I sent him away to play, he promptly woke sister too. Together the play got loud and I yelled QUIET! Uncharacteristic of me. Cody decided I NEEDED sleep and got up with the kids. I love him.

When I got up at 8, kids were playing quietly, and DH had gone to pick up coffee, so I made breakfast.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Wayyyyyy late.

One of the many reasons I am, and always will be, a Packers fan.

I don't get it. Are the Packers all from Green Bay (or at least Wisconsin)?

No, but the town itself owns the team. There's a deep loyalty and love that goes on between the players and the town (as a rule, fuck you, Favre), which is very cool.

There was one scene that was hot, though.

OMG SO HOT.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I should get out today. Where did that motivation go?

You early awakening people are freaks. I, on the other hand, slept and slept, and eventually looked at my phone to see if I could sleep some more, and it was 12:30. And I figured, not so much. So now I am up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cats with fraudulent diplomas

Skeptics who believe that a university is actually a diploma mill often prove their point by enrolling their cats in the university's program and seeing whether the cat can get a degree. Some enterprising Wikipedians have assembled a list of several such cats.

Colby Nolan is a housecat who was awarded an MBA degree in 2004 by Trinity Southern University, a Dallas, Texas-based diploma mill, sparking a fraud lawsuit by the Pennsylvania attorney general's office.[1]...

I'm torn between being elated that Hot Young Waiter® came over to chat with me today despite my not being seated in his section and deep disappointment that I missed his restaurant holding a Halloween party (to which he wore a caveman costume!) while I was squeezed into a 24-inch square of bar space against a wall across town.

My fairly productve morning was cancelled out by a fairly lazy afternoon.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am not doing any of the projects I had wanted to do. OTOH, I have decided that I want a hatchback and I am getting my dad the info to start doing research for what will be the best 3-4 cars for me togo test drive in the spring.

I slept in and then refused to get out of bed, stayed listening to the radio instead. BUT, I did finally get out and make s run to a swim shop where I got a suit that will hopefully last longer than a month (seriously! These supposedly last 20x as long) and she told me that if I end up liking it, they do the bulk of their business in overstock and fitting out teams, so if I order 5-6 suits at once, they offer deep discounts. Like 1/3 the price. So if this one holds up, I'll be doing that.

Then Target where they didn't have catfood, but got other stuff. Finishing lunch and then pool. I really should have walked today, but eh.

I made chicken soup from scratch today. And I do mean from scratch - even the stock and the noodles. Well, spaetzle. I did not raise the chicken.
