    Good morning, Loungettes! The sun finally came out yesterday afternoon. I'm hoping the yard will dry enough to be mowed today, but I'm not sure that will happen. At least I will be able to get some laundry done and hung out to dry. Sadie's been swimming in her pool already and has tracked muddy paw prints all over the kitchen and living room. Summer has arrived!


    Mrs. Vino--Aha, I should have known that Natties was a dwinky! Usually I can figure out the shorthand on here but that one stumped me! Congrats on a surgery date! Makes it that much more real.

    Juliet--yeah, I can imagine the rain is getting old for you folks. Hope you aren't getting washed away! Anyone in the neighborhood building a boat?

    Wahine--You is a bizzy lady! Do you need a social secretary to keep you straight? I'm looking for a new job . . . .


    Goldie--Oooh, the boat tour sounds WONDERFUL! I love being on the water. Which reminds me, time to book another whale watching trip. Or something.


    CynCyn--YEAH!!! For time off work! The meetings were moderately boring, the usual stuff. How we were told to fill out certain paperwork at another meeting is now the wrong way to do the paperwork. In other words, the usual stuff. I'm still working on going through a meeting without saying one word, but I'm getting closer. I only spoke at the second meeting when I was answering a question. They can't say that I'm monopolizing the meetings with weekend issues now! And sometimes the cheap stuff tastes pretty darn good!


    Mema--I'm willing to send rain to anyone who wants it, but the local farmers are saying "no" for some reason. Supposed to be a bumper year for strawberries, and they are out already. Gotta get me some!


    Firestorm! Here's your reserved bar stool. How do you want it decorated?

    DorKable--work is a number one cause of insanity, you know!

    Mrs. Vino--dwinkies are on the grouters!

    Lisa--ovaries are the biggest source of estrogen, but there is another--it's call aromatase. Aromatase is an enzyme that coverts fat and cholesterol into estrogen in the fat cells. The Ais, or Aromatase Inhibitors (Arimidex, Aromasin, Femara, Faslodex), work by blocking the enzyme from working, so there isn't that little bit of estrogen made in the fat cells after the ovaries are done doing that. Most healthcare employers put caps on the amount of sick time you can bank, because there are so many people like us who almost never call in sick, so we earn the time at a lower pay grade, but then take it when something happens when we are at a much higher pay grade. Somehow the company "loses money" that way.


    Undy--just at the moment I am drinking coffee from my brand new coffee press. The difference in the taste from the drip coffee maker is amazing! I wouldn't have thought there would be so much differece. I think there is enough Sangria for one more drink this afternoon. . .


    All this talk about finding olivines and sharks teeth makes me want ot go sand dollar hunting!

    Hmmm. Looks like Stella has something going on with the Moler Boy. Maybe we need to set up a place where we can quarantine those 2 during our partays!.

     


    I've got to share this link--it's to a webcam that is in the burrow/nest of a Puffin. She has eggs that I don't think have hatched yet. They are on an island off the coast not too far from where I grew up. http://explore.org/#!/live-cams/player/puffin-burrow-cam

    Princess Glitter Sizzle's DOTD is the Puffin
    1 oz Vodka
    1 oz Creme de Bananes
    6 oz Sprite

    Directions
    Pour Vodka into glass over ice followed by Creme de Banana, then top it up with Sprite & stir.

    PwoudMary, doze CA's do fluctuate. Mine was up the time before and back down this time. But I will say, it did skeer me. That Peridot is my birthstone.

    Ouch! Dang it Lucy. Me knows I gots some big boats, but dat hoyts when youse steps on them, would rather get bumped into the pewl. My DH (before I knew him) had his truck damaged by hail. As for HABOOB, I have no idea where that came from. I Googled it, it comes from the middle east.

    Whoa! What was that???? Me thinks it was Firestorm.

    Tanya, yes they are going to do blood work to check my estrogen levels. I just hope it works!!! I still have a little over a year for the Arimidex. Arimidex is a hormone blocker too, so I hope the dosage I take, doesn't block the testosterone. I will ask her about that, cuz if that's the case, no sense doing it. Hey, I remember one time, we had a Toga Party. How about one of those?

    LMAO at Lisa and you ears making estrogen!!! Hope you get your strength back soon from all of that poison. Are you doing rads?

    Shannon, no drinking? Am I wrong, I thought your surgery was July 13. Wow, 2 weeks.........you poor thang.

    Oooooo la la Wa Wa, look atchoo girl! SAMOKIN! And Sha Nay Nay too, whoooo hoooooo. Now girls, no fighting over Matt. And of course Alli looks dorgeous. And Lucy, how cute are you???? 

    Cyn, enjoy your vacation time. Today your DD gets there, we so fercited for you! Have fun fun fun. And I hope you found Stella. Mebe she was looking foy a costume?

    Lordy lordy, you goylz iz cracking me up dis ayem. LOL @ Alli, sucking peters! And the Moler Focker showing up.

    Ya Bernie, you didn ‘t miss the party. Just like me, it's here when I get here! Cuz I am almost NEVER on in de ebening.

    Look! I think that is Stella and the Moler Focker.

    I found my outfit, pink of course! And look at that a$$, am I lookin good or what???

    NM-I really like coffee in the summer w/the ice,caramel,whipped cream etc. Don't use a coffee press but thinking about it now. GOLDIE-It's just a matter of safety I guess. Diff docs diff opinions,and of course I want it because I can't have it. BEANS-Don't run away,i'm sure there's going to be some sort of party here tonite. And it will(i'm sure)involve stripping,boyz and likker. Hey Kat*shakes hammock*,wake up. You still passed out? It is 90 here in cali and i'm ready to jump back into de pool. Had a nice swim yesterday,but kind of cold in the eve. This is not typical cali weather,cooling down in the nite is not the norm. Off to do some shopping,be back later for the debauchery!

    Good afternoon, Loungettes! I'm waiting for a guy to come look at my deck and see what it would take to fix/replace it. I filled out contact info at a local site on line and the guy called me about 30 seconds later. He's on his way up as we speak (he got off the wrong exit). SillySadie pulled the corner support out from under the deck the other day, so I think part of it is being held up by the steps, so I better get it taken care of. Once I get something sturdy I can think about getting another hot tub, too. I can use the bribe of the hot tub to motivate myself to lose some weight!


    DorKable--I think insanity runs in a number of families!

    Beanie!!!! Bizzy, Bizzy lady, you are! Where are you thinking of moving to? Far away or nearby?


    Undy--I love coffee, but I can not drink it cold. I can eat coffee ice cream, but I cannot drink cold coffee. I know it's weird, but then, that's a good discription of me!

    Silly Sadie is standing next to me panting on my leg and dripping on my toes. I've washed the kitchen and living room floors at least 3 times so far today, but she is so happy and it's so much fun watching her run around and jump in the pool and bite at the water and spin around in circles until she falls down! Makes me tired just watching her!

    *kaboom*....."OUCH!".....Whut happened??? OH....is that Shannon I see, running to hide behind the bar?? Shan, wuz it youse dat shook mese hammock so hard, it made mese fall on de gwound??? Otay, mese knows youse didn't mean it....wuz jest twying to wake me up. But heck I only got 3 hrs sleep last night, let a gurl rest, ok?? J/K.....actually glad you woke me up, as I wanna get in line for de Pau Hana dwinks the Tenders are making up. Looks like they are lining them on the bar already! Yay! *slurp*...OOPS, sawwry....

    yIPpEe!!!!! De Beansie is in da house!!! Sooooo nice ta see ya,and hoping ALL will go well so all de plans work out!!! (BTW I love the "restada week"....cute!).

    NM, HOpe your deck can be fixed without too much moola!! We paid half of the window cost on Sat, but the guy that is supposed to OFFICIALLY measure, has not even called for an appt yet. That will put us in a bind, as we have a lot of trips coming up, and only so many "windows" (pun intended!) of time to get it done. Good luck with the guy that comes out! Sadie sounds so cutie-patootie with her pewl.

    HIya Dorkaroni! ALMOST Pau Hana time!!!! So hot outside to my furbabies are in the kitchen with me....every move I make, they get up. If I come back into the kitchen, Maverick keeps jumping for joy. Well, whoever "joy" is, he is jumping for her. LOL. BUT OMG the fur is flying and my allergies were already acting up. Need a strong dwink, soonliest!!!!

    Here's a chuckle to pass the time till Pau Hana......


    Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette,
    inherit the family ranch..
    Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in
    financial trouble.


    In order to keep the bank from
    repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed
    their own stock.

    Upon leaving, the brunette tells her sister, 'When I get
    there, if I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and
    haul it home.'

    The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the
    bull, and decides she wants to buy it.


    The man tells her that he
    will sell it for $599, no less.


    After paying him, she drives to
    the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news.


    She walks into the telegraph
    office, and says, 'I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've
    bought a bull for our ranch.

    I need her to hitch the trailer to
    our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home.'

    The
    telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then adds, it will
    cost 99 cents a word.


    Well, after paying for the bull, the
    brunette realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one
    word.

    After a few minutes of thinking, she nods and says, 'I want you to
    send her the word 'comfortable. '

    The operator shakes his head. 'How is
    she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup
    truck and
    drive out here to haul that bull back to
    your ranch if you send her just the word
    'comfortable? '

    The brunette
    explains, 'My sister's blonde. The word is big.

    She'll read it very slowly....
    'com-for-da- bul'.

    Wow!  getting my deck fixed is only going to cost $600, and the guy can get it done sometime in the next couple of weeks!  The deck was made with pressure treated wood, so while it looks old it's actually in good shape, so I only need new posts and the stuff to set them in properly.  I'm very happily surprised!

She is producing estrogen too so that contributes to her crappy chitty feeling...When we got back to the house , forgoing supper at Cracker Barrel offered by my parents...the inside of the house was 94 degrees...yeahhhh...the a/c stopped working....Its back working now . Waiting for it to cool the house down..holy moley...speaking of wich...once again...Im keeping a good eyeball on Stella. 

    I will catch up with all you loungettes tomorrow at some point...some bizzy days ahead...Loves youse

    Good morning, Loungettes! I've got to get my BCO fix in and get moving, I agreed to pick up some extra work today. I'm such a sucker for the pleas of the scheduler, it's so hard to say no to her. At least the money is good!


    Wahine--woops, it was me that knocked youse outta the hammock! Hope your get your windows measured soonliest.

    Undy--as soon as the deck is fixed it will be time to get a new grill. The current one doesn't work, but then I got 18 years of use from it. Then it will definitely be deck party time! I've been picking up some solar lights at the Dollar Tree as I see them, will need to figure out how to best attach them to the edges of the deck for night time lighting. Ah, such challenges and problems to have! Will those "deck hands" come to the party too? My deck is about 6 x 32 feet, roughly measured.


    DorKable--boy, have you gotten ahead of me on the dwinkies! I need to work to ketchup, but can't start until Monday am when I go off call. Hmm, this is a problem, me thinks. I KNOW! I can dwink virtually! OK, DorKable, the race is on!

    Wahine--sky hebby here, too, supposed to get nice over the weekend and then rain in again first of the week. Need a dry stretch when I am not working so I can mow the lawn again! I agree, swimming water should be kewl, not sweaty!

    DorKable--I got the tenders and wenches making up some Do Not Disturb signs for us to use!


    Mrs. Vino--first time I've heard it referred to as "stwabewwies an peaches an whip cweam an goin on" but that is a GREAT youfemism. Mebby we should make that the official lounge secret phrase for getting some????????? Good for you!


    CynCyn--we gotta watch that Stella, she's twicky. Your po' DD, motion sickness is yucky and makes for uncomfortable travel. Hoping she's feeling better soon and you both enjoy the bizzy days ahead!


    Bernie--LOL!!!!!!

    Princess Glitter Sizzle's DOTD is the Deck Party


    1 oz Brandy
    1/2 tsp Creme de Menthe
    1/2 oz Sweet Vermouth

    Directions
    Pour all ingredients into a mixing glass half-filled with ice cubes. Stir well. Strain into a cocktail glass, and serve.
