    BMo3 - ((hugs)) girl. Sorry to hear about the soggy sitch you're in. I'm hoping it all works out quickly for you one way or 'nother.

    I'm back from the dregs of the flu bug. At least my munchkin didn't get sick - yeah! So New Years was mellow. We spent some quality time outside playing in the snow/ice and the fresh air was fantastic. Now I'm back to work with renewed interest and more organized at home.

    I read "Ain't no mountain high enough" by Linda Armstrong Kelly, Lance's mom over the weekend. I liked it - I enjoyed reading about her outlook on life and can see she passed it on to her son. It renewed some of my worn out mommy energies too. A very good and recommended read.

    Off to donate to Good Will and pay the mortgage. Fun, fun!

    I can pay my mortgage at Good Will? Maybe they will take the pile of Socks Without Partners in exchange for this months payment?

    Ah, reading. Lately my reading time is on BART, always carry a book with me. 'Cept right now it's technical manuals about electronics. I've decided to try the test for the technical jobs at big-mega-telco and rather than take up my weekends with the class....studying myself. Pass or fail I look forward to reading other things. I'll put that on my list.

    Ahh, such a funny girl, that Trek! But an interesting thought....especially after a few chocolate martini's I've been listening to lots of audio books lately in the vehicle. Now I actually look forward to the drive to and from work! But the Linda Armstrong book I read. Now I'm listening to Tuesdays with Morrie in the car and a book on organizing my life at home. Apparently, I'm debris challanged - how did they know?? Good luck with your test!

    Duck, my apologizes on not hunting you down while you were here! I just discovered the martini bar in the last couple months - the perk there is no smoking allowed and there's always a cool 2-3 piece band playing. Very interesting clientel for central Wisconsin so I like the culture of the place.

    BMo3 - anytime you want to run away you're welcome here. My oven works, the blender works, and I have two cuddley dogs who love to walk/run in the woods.

    X - you are welcomed with opened arms as well! Everyone is. Heck, party at Dar's house and we'll just take a bus to the Martini bar

    How about this? The last weekend of July I will need 3 volunteers to be on a 4 x 24 hour mtb race. The remainder of you will be crew and support personnel. At the end of the race, HUGE party for the next day or so for my 40th birthday. How does that sound?? Any takers??

Now of course a *mumble, mumble* with a *mumble,mumble* and some *more mumbling...* I am up for anytime. (You know I just can't help myself. And it's all your fault, Kit! Don't start none, won't be none.)

    Well, quoting it as I heard it.
    X, you simply *must* stop mumbling so much. Can't hear a word you say.
    You just know I'm always good for startin' sh*t.
    *edited for the sensitive* "OH! Hey, look what I found!" (best way to change a subject...)
    For Flaming B-52s, substitute a dark high-proof rum for the Grand Marnier. The higher alcohol content is required for igniting the flame. Filling the glass to the edge reduces the amount of glass exposed to the flames, making it less likely to break, but is easier to spill the drink. For that reason, combined with the risk of burning the hand, the glass should remain on the bar, and a straw is used to sip the drink. Once ignited by the bartender, the drink should be consumed quickly to avoid overheating the glass. Unless the flame is extinguished prior to drinking, a fireproof straw, such as one made of aluminum, must be used.
    Dar- Wausau... isn't that kinda far east for 'central' wi? I was thinking Stevens' Point or Appleton or Eau Claire? My WI geography is getting messed up, though.

    *note, some of this may be deleted unless Snapped* Then it's not my fault if it's still up here...
    Wausau is central, just north of Point. Appleton is east and Eau Claire is west. (hands on hips) Looks like it's time for a visit young lady.

    *sigh* yes ma'am. I just kinda left in a hurry and haven't really looked back, so to speak. I think you're better off with me a-waaaay over here.
