It's Friday! - Page 3

Long about 6:00pm, I decided to do some yard work. My arm felt like complete crap when I finished, so I took a shower, climbed into my jammies and took a few Vicodin to make the pain go away.

I was just starting to really feel high as a kite when the doorbell rang. It was my new neighbor, Theresa.

T: "Hi, do you feel like coming over?"

Me: "I'm high, sure."

T: "Your arm??"

Me: "Yup. Is it ok if I stay in my jammies?"

T: "Sure."

Me: "OK, I'll be over in a minute."

Now, what Theresa failed to tell me was that it wouldn't be just me and her. She also invited my other neighbors (who thankfully are my best friends).

BFFs: "Good LORD, girl, you mean to tell us you came to a social event in your PJs???"

Me: "But ... but .... but ..."

I had a couple of glasses of wine to top off my Vicodin. It was a wonderful evening. Put me in mind of nights in the dorm at UCLA. Just talking about nothing in particular and laughing our asses off.

We didn't leave until after midnight.

Not being one to let a software program get the best of me, last weekend, I set myself the task of figuring out what I was doing wrong with BD and actually producing some books from PG files. I was finally successful and I am working my way through the Bobbsey Twins. Then I'm going to find some more "teen girl adventures" to compliment all the Tom Swift, High School Boys, etc. that are already in the download area.

So -- I very much appreciate you filling in this hole in the L M Montgomery bibliography here at MobileRead.

Elsi, let us know how you like the results of the conversion. I was not happy with the results I got going from .lrf to .prc.

Yeah, my first week at Uni I was dragged out of bed and along to a party downstairs at about 2am. I was known for the next two months as 'pyjama girl'. Oh well. At least I was 'known'.

In that case; good job you wear 'jamas!"...

...and after getting through work, the spousal unit and I will be vanishing over the weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary! If you don't hear from me for three days, you'll know I have my hands full of something other than mice and keyboards (for a change!).

pshrynk · 06-20-2008, 09:58 AM

Going to the West Virginia Horseshoe Festival, then?

vivaldirules · 06-20-2008, 10:11 AM

And pshwynk will be stumping in the desert, if only he could swim to one somewhere.

Steve, for a "professional" writer I wouldn't expect a typo. Don't you mean "her anniversary"?

Alexander Turcic · 06-20-2008, 10:56 AM

Ahhhhhh finally Friday! Going home from work soon, will make some pizza, and watch the Croatia vs. Turkey soccer game tonight.

Congratulations to you both, and many happy returns of the day! How many years?

Good on ya, Alexander. Pizza, football, beer - hey, who's bringing the beer? Okay, I'll bring it. I'll be there in time for the scrum/scrimmage/toss-up/kick-off/first-service/twiddle/whatever.

Alexander Turcic · 06-20-2008, 11:31 AM

Of course you are all invited to join the party.

But beware: My fridge is miserably empty and I only have Swiss beer to offer.

No, no! It's not supposed to be empty until after I leave! Swiss beer? As long as there are no holes in it, I'm game.

Last time I checked, there were no holes. But who knows, cheese with holes are a seller, so why not beer...
