What is a "Thread Drift"???

**AuntieK** · 04-01-2007, 10:13 PM

Dum-de-dum, twiddling my thumbs.
I'm up in the middle of the night waiting to register for a race. Registration was supposed to open today, so I thought I'd wait up for midnight. But apparently the race people aren't up waiting to let us register.

Does this make any sense? Boy, am I tired!

Went for my bike ride last night after eating deep fried chicken...it came with me on the ride, was with me when I got back and is still sitting on my stomach this morning. I guess it just loves me!!! (but it was gggooooodddd)!

That peony prob'ly won't flower for another few years now. They don't like being moved. But they can't always get what they want. Sometimes ya gotta move'em, and they do survive it. They just take some years settling into their new home.

Good morning, Duck! You're right, and it's a risk I've had to take. I'm not terribly worried, though. When we moved in in June last year, there was no evidence that it had bloomed at all last year. And when my SIL, the award winning landscape designer, gave her recommendations for what to do with our overgrown yard, it was the only plant she recommended I move. When she said it was a peony, I was shocked.

It didn't look like anything to me at the time. Besides, it was right in the middle of the corner we'll be developing as our "outdoor living room", so it had to go. It's now in a sunnier part of the yard, which I hope it likes, and as long as it grows, even if it does not bloom, I will be happy. Really, I'll be amazed at everything that survives and thrives under my care. I am so not a green thumb!

Hugs & Butterflies,

MOrning...

Waaaahhh.. I don't wanna go to work... sigh. Any lottery winners wanna adopt a tax write off???

AuntieK - man.. that is dedication!! Is there some limit to the number of entrants or something?

Violette - Sounds yummy. Isn't that a sign of good fuel - it stays with you and doesn't burn quickly?

One of mine bloomed for the first time last summer. I think I'd moved it once, thus delaying first bloom til age 4 or 5. Worth waiting for, though. Lovely! And yes, they like sun. Good luck with yours!

I have registered my oldest for kindergarten! Wow, what a weird feeling.

The new pup is doing great - she's adapted well to her new family and thoroughly enjoys "treeing" the cats and baying to her heart's content when she does.

I'm going to have to look up this body worlds thing now. It does sound exceptionally creepy. Ewwwww.

Have a great day!

a stranger feeling is cutting your son's hair and discovering grey hairs above his ears.

**Aggie_Ama** · 04-02-2007, 09:38 AM

Mimi- I found my first grey at 19, wonder how my mom felt hearing that? MY dad has a gorgeous head of silver hair, I know who to thank for mine!

Why did my doctor feel he had to tell me ways to prevent a UTI? I do all those and still got one, thanks buddy! At least my boss told me to take the afternoon off without asking questions. Must be that I wasn't wearing makeup and looked pretty rough.

Might be because he admitted having a hangover. Who has a hangover on Monday?

**mimitabby** · 04-02-2007, 09:41 AM

Your boss has a hangover, apparently. I hope you feel better soon.

roguedog----that's a good one "good fuel" (I must remember that one), but I think the way I was sputtering and weezing, I must have been sucking the fuel from the bottom of the tank...

Yep, LOTOJA tops out at 1000 riders. Last year I spent a couple of months on the waiting list before getting on. I still haven't registered for this year. Found out the registration didn't open until 1 pm. It's now after 1 pm and no sign of it being opened yet.

Any luck finding a lottery winner, roguedog?

DrBee, my youngest in in K. Now that's when it gets weird.

**maillotpois** · 04-02-2007, 12:07 PM

**DrBee** · 04-02-2007, 01:10 PM

I don't want to hear about good food - I had easymac for lunch. Oh yummmm...not. I can still taste that OJ we (me and MP) had when I was in SF and the fantastic food at The Slanted Door (me and BikerZ). I'm hungry!!!!!! At least I live in a place with good food now

I know it's been 6mos, but I'm still grateful!

**AuntieK** · 04-02-2007, 03:42 PM
