cap't chaos speaks!!! drop by and say hello! you'll be glad you did! xoxooxox regular posting begins tomorrow! i promise you. xoxoxox and one more x

As HORATIO said, What news, my lord?

here's something for all y'all: mr moose has issued yet another challenge, but since i failed so miserably  (ok, not really, i just haven't written about it yet) with the last one (and no, if you don't remember what it was, i'm not going to post a link to it.) i want to share this one with all y'all! actually, it falls in line with the last one very well, hence, the title of this post. (too obscure? or too spot on?) so what is it you might ask? (you did, didn't you? to yourself, of course) words, my darlings, it's all about words. check out his blog and leave a word or 20. you'll be glad you did and so will he! we feed each others souls with our words, darlings. sometimes that's all it takes to sustain us...

and in other news

blogger STILL won't let me add or subtract urls to my blogroll! anyone else having this problem? things used to be so eay on blogspot, right? what happened? have i missed some prime directive? did i miss a dues payment? am i remiss? (or maybe i need to cut back on the caffeine! OK, i think that might be part of my problem right now...)

best news for last and then a picture

SOMEONE might be coming home sooner than we all thought! (shhhhhh, no mentioning of names since we don't want to jinx it!) i'll keep y'all posted.

and now, a picture

Moxie and friend

and with that, have a delicious weekend and remember to hug the people you love!

xoxoxoxox

Because most of the time, all y'all know almost everything anyway...

the MITM left for deepestdarkestafrica again.

i took a picture of his side of the partner's desk, but it made me sad because it was sooooooo neat and tidy that it just SCREAMED "i'm not here!" and that, my darlings is really, really, really mournful. i'll be back with good news and photos and all around good cheer soon, but for today

i'm



just




gonna




sit.

random stuff because i haven't done lx's meme yet

happy birthday, Dancing Lady!

today is her birthday and she's been celebrating all week long! raise a glass, dance around your living room, listen to some flamenco music and help celebrate her day around the world!!!

And Jesus said, "Pickup all the colored eggs....."

Ok, Ok, just a little joke. Here's another one:

A Christian, a Muslim, a Jew and a Morman walk into a bar......... sounds like the beginning of a great joke. The punchline is -

IT'S EASTER!!!!!!!!!!!


We're headed to Easter Dinner with our good friends out here on the plantation. This is our Easter Basket.

We'll be toasting life, and all of you - ENJOY THE WEEKEND!

time out for MITM

before you say anything, he put himself in the corner!!! evidently, when you play a horn into a corner, you get instant feedback on your tone. (whatever)

here's the tune he was playing:




(he found the video and demanded asked that i post it.)

(for some reason, he found it funny.)

(you know, i really do wonder WHY i thought a partners desk was a good idea...)

and here he is continuing his penance and mine deconstructing "somewhere over the rainbow"

(ya think if i give him some ruby slippers, he'll fly away?)

evilene update

yes, the MITM was sitting right across from me. he's still breathing.

MITM - Hiding in Plain Sight on the Plantation

"Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits." - Satchel Paige

I'm just sitting today. The mistress of the manor has a short fuse. Everything is working on her last damn nerve - including me. Now experience has taught me that when one finds himself confronted with the worn nerves of Mistress SavMarshMama, the best thing one can do is melt into the background. I do that by hiding in plain sight and just sitting - no opinions noted, no exclamations or exhalations, no sudden movements.

Any further agitation of the nerves and she will become Evillene and the Plantation, dontcha know, will become her Work Shop. And me, I'm trying very hard to do as little heavy lifting as possible and carry as little water as possible. Shhhhh, I'm a rock......... She's screaming - "Where are my Fucking Flying Monkeys?"




So in an effort to chill her out, to take the Evil out of Evillene, I'm finding soothing music to play. I'm thinking about giving her a Rum&Coke and two Vicodans, but I think this rendition of Stardust by the Velvet Fog Mel Torme may help...



If this doesn't work - I'm taking the Yellow Brick Road the fuck up outta here and looking over my shoulder for Flying Monkeys!

SavMarshMama will be out of her blue funk and back here soon.......I hope! In the meantime I'll keep combat breathing and hiding in plain sight.
