TPBM
Ha! I wish. But I would have to get up and make them and I am too tired to do so.TPBM remembered today was daylight savings? (If you live where daylight savings takes place anyways.)
well, for me it's not daylight savings today.TPBM has a test today
Yes. It’s a test to see whether I have the self-discipline to eat sensibly at lunch rather than wolfing down a club sandwich and fries from a restaurant.TPBM loves club sandwiches and french fries!
Mmmmmm! French fries. Don't tease, M!TPBM is so excited to do blog stuff today.
Yes, I made a new years resolution to write a blog. It has currently lasted 2 months and 10 days longer than previous NY resolutions!TPBM is going to be a best selling author one day, and will of course dedicate their first book to me for believing in them!
Sigh. I've resigned myself to remaining an obscure writer, writing in obscure threads and blog posts.TPBM has joined at least one 'Write-something-a-day-for-a-month' group that s/he actually successfully completed.
No but I have a strange numbness in one of my fingers.TPBM has neglected their blog for some time now.
Yes, I have. But I'm thinking of starting up again.TPBM is going to bake some scrumpscious goodies today.
Yes, homemade angel food cake for my wife's birthday.TPBM prefers a butter icing to cream cheese frostings on their cakes.
Definitely! Unless we're talking about red velvet or carrot cake, of course.TPBM needs a nap!
As strange as it may seem, I find that I’m most in need of a nap whenever I’m faced with doing chores.TPBM has not done all the laundry he or she was supposed to have gotten done today.
Well, I don't actually have to do my laundry yet... so sure I guess.TPBM just got a new book in the mail!
Nope. Not since the free one I got for reviewing about two months ago.TPBM is already wondering how tomorrow is going to work out.
Yes. Is is going to be a burger with swiss cheese and sauteed mushrooms or is it going to be a Philly cheesesteak sandwich?TPBM has a lot of reading to do before bedtime.
I should have read but I didn't....TPBM is still waiting on a package of books.
No. I'm sitting on my chair while I'm waiting for the angel food cake I'm baking to be ready.TPBM has a lot of writing to do before bedtime.
Nope! This person is going to watch the Twilight Zone!TPBM is craving chocolate with a vengeance.
Yes! Do I write a rant for Paula, M, your rainbow dream, a story, a poem, finish a blog, finish reading a book, finish my music game for Tim, read Ryan's poem, or go to bed. Bed is starting to win the fight, though!((Hi Al, me you too!))
TPBM finds that life has too many interesting things to do!
Yup! Good night.TPBM dreamt that little flower-like nodules had grown on his/her thigh.
Oh, no! It's starting!TPBM is having difficulty finding a dream.
I have difficulty remembering dreams. I used to write them down. I see that someone, a few posts back, mentioned The Twilight Zone.TPBM likes the kind of stories that might make good Twilight Zone episodes.
I've never seen Twilight Zone....TPBM's package is supposed to be here TODAY!!!! So excited!
actually, yes.TPBM just did her nails
Well, no. TPBM has some indoor house plants that they will be giving some TLC to today
My houseplants are lucky to get a drink of water once in a long while.TPBM has been so favored by serendipity that he/she has come to depend on it.
Only if it's served Peking style.TPBM has been to a 'real' Chinese restaurant where the chickens are served with their heads and the fish's eyes are scooped out and ingested faster than you can say kung hay fat choi.
I am, actually, but a good one. (And yes, I have. It was during a work function. At the end of the meal we took the chicken head back to the office and put it in the fridge as a surprise for the crew that were to go on shift the next day. At the time it seemed like a funny idea. Now, I'm not so sure.)TPBM has been the perpetrator of some pretty silly pranks in their day.
Me? Most certainly not!TPBM has never put little explosives in people’s cigarettes.
LoL! No, my jokes have never been that good.TPBM finds knock knock jokes usually lack a good opening line.
That’s clever! I needed a good laugh.TPBM sometimes finds this group so enjoyable that time flies by and chores don’t get done.
Yes, which is a real chore when that 'chore' is my paying job!TPBM doesn't wan't to answer the knock knock coming from their back door.
We don't usually get people knocking on our back door. But, when we do it's usually just someone else who lives in this house. I still don't like getting up to open it though.TPBM needs to read today.
Yes besides practicing music I should get into the book I started reading again.TPBM thinks drums being wailed away in their house sounds awesome! :P
Ah, not really. Wailing drums reminds me too much of unpleasant stuff. Now, booming kettle drums, well, that is a different story.TPBM thinks the taiko drums are awesome.
Yes. Our condo has a metal roof, and so the rain sounds awesome!TPBM went for a walk today and got caught in a hail storm without a hat or umbrella.
No hail storm here. It's a wonderful 70 degrees.TPBM stayed up until 11 pm last night writing a speech.
Nope, I was at medieval times (go team yellow!)TPBM is hungover from too much green beer
Nope, but I'm hung over at having to replace our washing machine :-(TPBM is good a drafting wood construction projects.
Nope. Don't count on me drafting the plans for anything that has to be constructed.TPBM's head hurts.
No, but I shouldn’t have had so much chips and dip.TPBM is glad tomorrow’s Monday.
Uh....I guess. I don't prefer Mondays.TPBM is thinking of having ice cream....
No, but I hope the person above me is having some!TPBM likes ice cream sandwiches.
No, but it has been a completely nutso weekend, so maybe I've lost my mind and don't know it. Really, if I had lost it, how would I know?TPBM's washing machine decided to die and fill the laundry room with water.
Well, for sure not given that I know perfection is not within the nature of my nature. But insane, sure, albeit imperfectly. And yes, it did. Friday, actually, but went out to shop for a replacement today. OUCH! What we're looking at is, if not perfectly insane, then perhaps an epitome of insanity.TPBM wonders how M would react to his washing machine washing out.
Our laundry room has flooded twice. I know what it’s like.TPBM is going to find out that energy-efficient washing machines (like all things energy efficient) are a ridiculous pain.
Time will tell. I suspect you're right, but my wife does the laundry and so I get the effects indirectly, much like the dog who is the owner's release valve. LoL!TPBM has woken up to a beautiful spring-like day, with sun and the sound of birds happy to be alive.
Certainly did, having a spectacular day although here in Canada it's still a wee bit nippy. TPBM secretly wants to live in a different country.
