No chance the pilot light was just out,
Cottage?
What a way to wake up. Ugh! A friend of mine had just gotten her hair wet in the shower last week when the water ran out. Her well pump broke! Thankfully, they were able to put a new one in that night.
Wow,
Cyndi, it's hard to imagine that many dirt roads...though I guess we have quite a few in our area. Hope the visits are pleasant and the drive helps keep you energized. I'm the same way about sitting at a desk all day!
Twynn, the run sounds like a great way to deal with the stress! I hear your on the frustration. It's good to remind ourselves that since we can't fix it, we need to let it go. Not that I'm good at doing that...
Ruth, I love that you clean before Donna comes.
I'm the same way, though it does seem silly...it's just frustrating when things get tidied away in places that don't make sense to me and I can't find them later.
Hope it means a clean house early in the day!
Jenny, I love the Scottish! One of my favorite words from my friend Helen is "sprogs" (which refers, unflatteringly, to children). How do you say some of them (gonnae naw dae that?, specifically)? I'm listening to a book on CD about a Scottish detective in Edinburgh. They seem to have bad opinions of Glasgow...bet those in Glasgow feel similarly about Edinburgh! It's fun to hear her "brogue" and the little words here and there. The dessert sounds delish! It'd be easy to replicate on SBD, I'd think. Sounds very spring-ish! When is Robbie Burns' day? I know they did a celebration here (with a Haggis and the requisite Burns poem along with a lot of alcohol) a couple years ago, but I don't remember what time of year it was.
Diva, sounds like a hard job in these times! Just reading about it makes my head spin! Congrats on the pound--you're working hard! I agree with the UK English--right after we arrived in London and stored our luggage at the hotel because we couldn't check in yet, I asked the hotel clerk where the restroom was. He stared at me in confusion, so I asked for the bathroom. He said, "You want to take a bath? You'll need to check in first, miss." I then explained that I wanted the toilet (which made me blush!) and he understood me then.
Who would've guessed I'd have so much trouble finding a bathroom while speaking in my own language!
Me:
I'm glad it's hump day. I've been so tired lately that I really need a rest! My home laptop seems to be riddled with viruses. I worked on it for hours yesterday but am going to have to give up and take it in for help. I hate to think it, but I think it might be Facebook applications.
Ugh. DH started using Facebook this weekend and that's when things got really bad. Guess two of us accessing it mean a lot of craziness in the 'puter. Hope we can get it fixed quickly and with little cost.
Not much else going on. We have faith formation tonight--more about Paul--and a quick visit to gym and eating of dinner beforehand. Hope to get to bed early.
Have a great day, chicks!
