TOTALLY GEEKED!

Know why I woke up? It was a combination of C and Monster going to the bathroom and the heat. It's 43 and stuffy. It's going to storm.

We need a good rain though. People were trying to burn yesterday caught half the county on fire. It was bad enough that the FD did a robo call to tell people to stay indoors and why.

"Hey Myrtle! It's a nice day. Think I'll burn some of trash we got."
"What about the wind Frank?"
"That'll just keep me cool around the fire!"

I swear. People are stupid.

Back to work today. I don't mind working Sundays. Last Sunday was snow & freezing rain. I think it's in the 40's already.

Grammys are tonight as well.

I'm bummed this morning. DGF is very sick and we will not get to spend time with them today. Just a quick trip to get DS's extra car and a quick kiss to DGS and that's about it.
Did I say I was bummed?

That's a bummer, Czech. I hope she feels better soon. 

Going to yoga. Have to dvr WD and wait til Mr.VoR gets home to watch it.

We had a burn barrel when I was growing up. Most folks did. I hate the smell of smoke but I don't recall it smelling like actual garbage.

My ribs and arms and stomach are still sore. I'm doing the 90 minute class and then an hour of pose assistance class. I'm trying so hard not to throw up or die that my poses are wonky.

Ttyl! Have a great day.

 VoR, I don't know about your yoga class. From what you've said on other threads, it sounds really difficult. Yoga shouldn't be that hard.

I've been taking classes and doing yoga for over ten years, and my friend is a yoga teacher, so I know a fair amount about it.

Your class sounds overly strenuous. I hope your teacher is not pushing you too hard. A good  teacher should not, and should be showing you how to modify poses to suit your own limitations. Is it a hatha class?

VOR don't over do it or you will burn out. You should be starting slowly.

Off for my last day of being the "hospitality coordinator". We have had a lot of great feedback about the teams and the girls and it has been fun catching up with our friends. But I am exhausted and ready for a break. 7am-midnight the last few days is catching up with me.


Going to ask a dumb question - why are people burning their trash? Do they not have garbage collection? That is kind of gross, burning trash smells.

We could not even burn leaves any place we ever lived, it was illegal. Burning anything outside was against the law and a sure way to get the police at your house.

 We can only burn yard debris.  I live outside city limits but we have strict ordinances.  Can't burn within 75 feet of a structure.  Can't burn within 75 feet of the road. Can't burn in a ditch ($5,000 fine). Can only burn between 9:30 am and 3:30 pm. Can't burn household trash. There's more just can't remember right now.

Okay, DS took her to the Children's Museum...The nerve of him!

I know she's having fun with Daddy.

Most my neighbors call it in. I've got them programmed in my phone. One of the neighbors is the county fire inspector and he keeps us in line.

 That was Monday. You statrin to get punchy?

Czech, sorry to hear she is sick. Hope she feels better fast.

Flan, maybe you can see Itty later today.


I must be getting old. I just spent an hour watching the Sumit cup. Know what that is? It's like the Super bowl of fishing tournaments. And I enjoyed it.

I saw a brief snippet on the fires this morning. It was over at the base of the mountain and it started as a control burn but the wind got behind it. That happens. It was over and done in about an hour. Mostly more smoke than actual fire. If we haven't had all the rain we have had, it would have been a lot worse.

But it is that time of year. People are getting fields and pastures and other areas cleaned and ready to use.

I had rather smell smoke than when they clean out a chicken house. That is the worst smell ever.

We got about 5 inches overnight and it's still snowing. How much more did you get? 

---

 About the same.  The total for today and tomorrow is supposed to upwards of 15"

---

 So sorry!  When do you normally see warmer temps?

---

 July?

 It's bikram yoga.  I really feel like it's my weight and  physical shape.  I'm...heavy.  The last 45 minutes are easier than the first.  I can't balance to save my life.  

It's in the 40's again today. Snow is melting fast. Vast difference from last Sunday. I need to start building a Lego robot so I can learn the programming before I restart the program at the end of the month. I also have a couple of loads of laundry to do, and need to clean my bedroom.

I would also like to go walk today, but my shoulders hurt pretty badly today, so I won't be doing that.

 Both of my kids, even though 23 years apart, at their stage in life when they loved to play with lego's quickly learned not to ask Mommy.  I get so intent on building the structure that I take it over.  I can play with lego's for hours!

It's in the 70's and sunny here. I picked up some ribeyes and some salmon to put on the grill later.

Hmmmm. I guess I'd better clean the grill.

I don't grill when Mr.VoR is gone but steak sounds good. I think I'll fire it up too. Good idea FWM!

I wish I could send you some of our weather, IKWTDS. You've got to be sick to death of the cold and snow.

Hang in there, Northeast Geeks!

We'll get roasted this summer, and it will be our turn to bitch and moan. 

I'm going to FWM's for dinner...

I made taco soup last night. Everyone says they hate it and then when I made it they all loved it. I swear, sometimes I want to ring all their necks. The other day I tried a different version of your chicken Lily. It called for mayo, parmesan cheese, and bread crumbs. We really liked it.

We're doing heart shaped hamburgers for Valentines day. I preordered some mylar balloons at the Dollar Store. I'm going to make cupcakes. I need to find something else to make too.
