Please go away...

Stupid bad dream. I hate waking up like that.

I just finished watching "The Secret in Their Eyes."

What a powerful ending.

Today has been the hardest yet. I just want to go home and crawl under the covers and sleep until he gets home...

Hang tight O4! It'll be over before you know it.

I've got to stop watching documentaries. I'm never going to eat again.

FNW · Guru

Well it's June. That means baking. Lots of baking. #1 wants "minion" cupcakes to share with his class. 27 banana chocolate chip cupcakes decorated with yellow frosting and little minion eye(s) on them. This Friday. #2 wants chocolate. 25 chocolate cupcakes decorated in a variety of ways. Some blue frosting, some green. Ninja turtles & spiderman. Then the first day of camp is their actual birthday, so it's 24 more cupcakes. I stocked up on flour & sugar today.

Ohfour, when does G come home? I have/had a hard time when DH was away, too. The worst was when he was on golf trips to Scotland. The distance got to me.

Take a shower, trudy! Whew!

TrudyML · Guru

I want to fake sick. But I haven't. The AC is on. Much better.

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

I checked my work email. A/C is not working. It was 77 degrees at 10:30. If it gets to 80, we close.

But the repair company has been called...

Vette · Owl drink to that!

I'm at work, but it looks like it's going to be an easy day.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

Morning everyone. I think I am going to have to breakdown & replace my A/C. It has been limping along for a few years now but it doesn't seem to be able to handle it this year. I couldn't get the temp below 72 even with the ceiling fan & tower fan going full speed. Of course I could hang meat in the basement even with the vents shut.

Lindley · Guru

My son and his family has been staying with us because their ac has quit working.

He doesn't come back until next week. He's playing it by ear.

I can't join him. My boss leaves tomorrow for a week and a half vacation and since we are a 2 person department at the moment, I have to stay here.

I'm going out to dinner with some friends tonight, so hopefully, that will pull me out of this...

Afternoon.

Hope everyone's A/C problems are fixed soon. The compressor on the van has died, so I have A/C issues as well.

That's a lot of cupcakes, FNW!

I hope you have a blast tonight, O4.

Tignanello · My dog name is, Sasha!

I spent my morning unsubscribing from the PILE of sales and spam emails I receive every day.

And now I want to bake cupcakes.

I suspect UTI rather than stones.

He leaks when he jumps up on things. And is moving slow.

Something is up, and we need to get it figured out.

I await wedding updates! Glad you survived it!

Do you have a can of peaches in natural syrups?

Granny showed me this.

When you take the cupcakes out, and while still hot, put a spoon of the peach juice over each one and let it soak up and cool.

You won't need frosting.

Sounds like a wonderful time, FWM.

Hope Huey is ok.

FNW, you better get to baking girlie!

FWM, pictures please, as soon as possible. Did it rain during the wedding? Hope Huey will be okay!

Trudy, have you bathed yet? ;)

I haven't recovered from the weekend yet. Between the three day party and putting up a privacy fence, we are dragging bottom.

The house is a mess. All the grand's make for a very messy house when it rains all the time.

Lindley, is your DD and her girls back in the states yet?

Flan, I need nail polish! I thought of you when I went to find mine and it was gone! Darn little girls around here.

Hey Lexxy, Vette, Lily, NAOW, Tig, SB, IKWTDS and LL! Looks like the whole crew is back! Still missing a few though.

I can't believe tomorrow is June. This year has gone way too fast.

DS is watching Bee Movie. Again. I think this is the 3rd time this week. That's ok. I like the movie too. I can't believe he's going to be 3 at the end of the year. I don't like this growing up business.

Momala · Great cook-happy wife-superb fisherman

Boo! I got rained out !

The weather forecasters said rain for the next 4-5 days. OK I can deal with rain.
But not a deluge!!!!!
The truckers slowed down to 40 mph in a 70 zone - so you know it was coming down hard.
There was so much water on the road I didn't want to take a chance, so I turned around
after only going 30 miles - it took a full hour to go 30 miles!!!

The one bright thing was that my next door neighbor (renter) met me at my carport with a huge
umbrella to walk me to my front door. Yea for good neighbors!!
