Monday Morning Meh

I have nothing to complain about today.

I am every bit as surprised as you by that. It's pouring rain outside, but since we got the roof fixed, that doesn't matter much. We no longer live in the house that used to flood when there was heavy rain, so that is fine, too.

Well, I'm not feeling really well, and erm but that isn't a big deal. I'm sure it will pass in a day or so.

I finished my taxes. Well, I don't do them, I gave them to my accountant, but at least they are turned in to her. She'll probably file them in a day or so, so that is ok.

The Crotchety Old Lady hasn't had any snow to shovel or grass to cut, so she is in a good mood, too.

About the only thing that needs attention is I have to pick out what I will have for dinner on Wednesday.

Mrs. Crotchety will make anything for me as long as she doesn't have to turn on the oven. Or she will go to any local restaurant to pick up what I want, but I can't think of anything I'd like.

Suggestions are welcome.

Rain, Rain, Go Away

I can hear the rumbling of thunder in the background. It has been raining off and on all day, and flooding is expected tonight.

For all of my life, I never was concerned about this. But thanks to the internet, I’m now very “weather aware” and this is not a good thing.
I was much better off when I was in my mental bubble.

Why the turnaround? Simple, I have friends all over the world. Normally, this would be a good thing.

But now, I can track weather patterns. Rubba lives somewhere west. And Jenn from Cabbages and Kings lives west of me, but not as west as Rubba.

So, when flooding hits Rubba’s state

I know what’s in store for Jenn a few hours later, and then ultimately, for me, a few hours after that.

So, you can see where this is heading.

That’s right, gentle reader, I am being subjected to used rain.

The same rain that launched the Swanborghini, and nearly ruined a scround (it’s a real word, you can look it up) of peach ice cream

then has the chutzpah to dampen my spirits.

But my regular readers know how much I care for them.

In the next week or so, I will be launching a complete line of umbrella hats.

My buddy Rubba has been working feverishly to help me put the online catalog together, and I’ll give you just a peek at some of the hats using some of his designs and stolen stock photos :

The Lo Mein

The Rogue

When you just want to blend in

The Rambo

The It Girl

I’m not sure of our pricing schedule yet, but for 50 million Zimbabwe dollars, Rubba would photoshop a hat on your head if he likes you.

He‘ll do it for free if he doesn‘t.


And the winner of yesterday’s “Caption This” was HRHMomjean. She was so determined to win the non prize that she enlisted the aid of minions to threaten encourage me to select her caption.

It was very funny and she deserved to win, even without the help of her friends. By the way, her blog is The Soccer Mom’s File http://momjeansblogger.blogspot.com/

It’s a good read.

I did promise yesterday, that I will reveal secrets from the "Man's handbook." Post your questions, and they will be addressed in a future post.

Coming soon: Awards and other stuff
