It is so nice to see the Vatican battle the Church of England in a cricket match. ...that should settle things. Check out my priest in this video. His 15 minutes of fame.

I am watching Fox and Friends to check out Elisabeth Hasselbeck. I have purposely ignored Fox for months, so I didn’t know she was on. Sounds like a good move.

I wish my management team would exercise some punctilio with the standards we’ve put in place, but I continue to fight with them on system uptime and system changes during the overnight hours.

still can’t do it, can’t turn the tv on, other than for hockey. i’m sort of freaking myself out, bc i am def not one of those nutball types you find on FR who doesn’t own a tv! tomorrow my friend Paula is coming over and we are going to do an eastern european cooking day. we are going to make pierogie and halupky from scratch. my massage therapist gave me her recipes, her family is polish and they still cook those things routinely. i am going to do potato and cheese, paula mentioned something about LEKVAR [oh gag me, it’s prune] but i am going to pass on that one!

[tioga]

Indeed you are. A++

Sounds like my DH when he has spent the evening on our home computer. LOL A++

[xsmommy]

Yum! Happy Birthday to xsteen! Happy times for her. Hope her beloved makes her birthday a special.

They are in Dallas for the wedding of her college roommate this weekend. It will be special because it’s her chance to introduce him to her college friends, whom she has not seen for the past 2 years, and she can show him around her alma mater etc.

He is running the RCIA program that I am helping with, so I see him every Wednesday night for 2 hours. So far, it has been a very interesting experience. Wouldn’t miss it.

OMG xshub and i were going wild about this story last night! he saw something on twitter about it and then we googled Gansler and read up on this guy. What an ARROGANT POS d-bag! atty general of MD and he's present at an underage drinking party, taking cellphone pix of underage girls twerking [xshub had no idea what that was, i had to demonstrate it, it was hilarious].

[tioga]

Ahhh, how fun.

An ideal President would be punctilious, but what we now have in Office is bilious, imperious and supercilious.

Not to mention treasonous.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

EAGLES UP! Once more unto the breach, my friends, once more!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
