What Time Is It And What Are You Doing?
Save me a piece! ;)5:16. Waiting to start dinner. Staring at my book across the room, trying to will it come to me.
It's 6:04 pm central standard time and am about to watch wheel of fortune soon then read and stuff. :)
Hi Guys: I just finished supper which consisted of leftover Thai peanut pizza with loads of chicken, scallions and red peppers!!! Yum! The cats were quite enthused and I had to share the chicken after rinsing all the good stuff off of it. Now I am ready for one of Malina's brownies. (-:Chris
Oh, it's 6:11 PM here in MN.
Chris is there a recipe for that? Its 7:12 I'm standing in my kitchen waiting for the kiddos to finish their dinner and trying to figure out what I'm going to eat.
I wish there was. This is leftover pizza from a dinner out last week. During supper we decided we might like to try to reconstruct it though. If we succeed, I'll let you know, Lorrea!Chris

Malina, it's 6:47 PM and I am sitting here waiting for your brownies to be done. Hey, I saw your reply to the new member Glen who writes medical thrillers--what kind of physician are you? Are you practicing? I'm an infecious disease MD--just retired in October. I loved my job at Mayo Clinic, but it got to be way too much and taking over my whole life so I decided to turn in my stethoscope for a library card. (-: I've actually been to Boston and Cambridge many times for conferences. Absolutely love these cities. Especially loved the many treks to the North End (I am half Italian). Do you have a fav restaurant in the North End?

It's 8:07 pm and I've just eaten a chicken gyro dinner that my 12 year-old son prepared. My son says at dinner: You know, if you're married and over 40, you just don't care about your body anymore and stop working out and stuff. To which I said: What do you mean by that?
10.10 a.m in Australia and I'm about to go clean my boot (car) which hasn't been done for 4 months thanks to binge writing and I'm scared, lol!
Whoah! I just read about the Thai peanut pizza and I want the recipe, too!
8:33 pm here, finished dinner,grilled salmon and veggies and will now indulge in the aforementioned brownies, which are quite delicious!Chris, I've been practicing internal medicine for 14 yr and finally got burnt out, primary care is just overwhelming nowadays, so I quit and I will be trying out urgent care now, will see how it goes. In the meantime taking a break for a few months,definitely enjoying it!
It's 8:53 pm. Kids are finally in bed, watching the Nets and the Heat while waiting for the hubby to bring me some food.
Its 8:15 here in the land if Oz and Im just trying to stay awake till bed time!
It's 715p & I'm watching the hockey game hoping that Boston will win tonite & I'll get to a Boston game when I'm there next week! I'm also packing for that said trip as j&I are off to,visit Chicago, Boston, Philly & Washington DC tomorrow. I can't wait!!

Malina, I can totally relate. And I don't know how the primary care guys can possibly survive. I think taking some time off on your part was a brilliant move! mIt takes a long time to decompress.
Returning to subject at hand, it is 8:41 PM and I am watching the hated Red Sox beating my miserable Twins. Making matters worse, I am sitting on the floor as one of little cat urchins is completely sprawled out on my chair.
Chris
Misery loves company Chris! I'm watching Montreal beat Boston in game 7. Only 2min left & they're down 2goals. I don't think I'm going to a Boston game when we're there next week... :(

It's 8:51am. I've got one kid off to school and am about to put another one on the bus. Then me and the little lady will come back home and work. Today is this post is brought to you by the letter N!!

We all should be working, but somehow end up around the Good Thriller water cooler :)

11:58am...The first kid that went to school is now home. Making some lunch for the munchkins, just finished my blog for the day, and am hoping to get some work done this afternoon.
Its 2:22(make a wish) I'm finishing up my lunch and about to take the babies outside before the thunderstorms start! Hoping to get a chapter or two read while outside.

put a dab of brandy on the kids tongue, it will knock her out and you can enjoy your movie in wine bliss!!
I know...it was just a joke. My grandmother talks about putting liquor on our gums when we were teething. She said there were never any problems!
My grandmother said babies in her time (in Europe) were given mashed poppy seeds aka heroin and that it worked like a charm. Of course, on occasion the babies didn't wake up.
It's 4:58 and I am getting ready to climb up on a ladder and get a large dish down so I can pack it. Then I am going to go hang a quilt in my laundry room. Doesn't everyone have a quilt in their laundry room????? Never know when I might be folding clothes and wanna take a nap. From the sounds of this group, I just might have to stick a bottle of Grand Marnier in the laundry room....for my....uh.....gums.....yeh, for my gums.
Be careful on that ladder...I've got some Everclear for my gums....I won't feel them for a week!! LOL!!
DianeAlice wrote: "It's a busy day for all you young mums.How was your new job Malina?"Thanks for asking Diane :), still in the contract signing phase, few things to iron out, for now I'm happy to have some time off!
5:00pm- now waiting to go pick up from soccer practice and thinking about what to make for dinner....wouldn't mind a nice martini to help me think ;)
DianeAlice wrote: "Babies here were given gin in the olden times I think lol. Heroin was used as a cough medicine in the late 1880's !"See? And we're all worried about rubbing a bit of booze on their gums?

DianeAlice wrote: "Ah-oh Malina you've done it now - your new name - Malina Martini lol!":D! Make that a double!
8:06 pm - and just finished my Manhattan, a glass of wine and dinner. Do I have a problem?
Victoria wrote: "8:06 pm - and just finished my Manhattan, a glass of wine and dinner. Do I have a problem?"Yes, just a wee bit. You should have started early with the Manhattan.
Victoria wrote: "8:06 pm - and just finished my Manhattan, a glass of wine and dinner. Do I have a problem?"The only problem I see is that you should've had two!
See, if you wanted enabling, you came to the right group.
Yes, I admit. I came for enabling. :)))))
7:34 P.M. Should probably be getting back to studying......
Lol; probably won't be happening anytime soon though..... hehe
@Holly: Good. We will enable you too. Tell you things you want to hear like it is ok to take a break, you deserve it! Haha.
Lol, thanks for the enabling, Daniel. Not that I really need it; I do a pretty good job of it myself. :) Lol
