Speaking of Sheldon Cooper quotes, I just have to say that THIS one annoys the every-lovin' sh*t out of me:

It was DOROTHY PARKER, not Sheldon Cooper!



Now you know.

Actually, I *already* knew that. Because I is erudite.

So I hiked about 2.5 miles today - not a lot of distance, but much of it was climbing and scrambling - and took 2 rolls of film (Portra 400 and Ektar). Hopefully some of them will come out well. I'll find out tomorrow.

Then I ran a bunch of errands, came home and ate dinner, and now I have a beer (Sam Adams Oktoberfest. Foolishly bought non-refrigerated 6-pack so had to leave it in the fridge for a bit) and I'll do a little grading and postwhoring!

I just now got home. Dinner with my mom, sister, two brothers and sister-in-law (one brother and sil here visiting from DC), then off to the "after party" with the same people as well as my youngest son, his girlfriend, my niece and her new husband. Pored over old family photos--I've scanned in thousands of them from about the 1920s on and my brother wanted copies. We also started sorting through the box of old letters and writings from my grandfather and grandmother that he had. I have some as well--most of these are from the early 1940s through the mid-1950s, when my grandparents and their two youngest kids went to live in South America while my mom stayed here and went to design school in NYC, where she met my dad.
Brought home a huge stack of letters to start scanning and transcribing.

I get back from Costco and everybody is in bed.

I'm not in bed; I just got home. I'll be headed to bed pretty soon though--this is really absurdly late for me! I am almost NEVER up past midnight!

Because no matter what time I go to bed, I will still wake up by about 6 a.m.

I don't know...this one is a pretty strong contender:

What a maroon!!

They gave me something with codeine when I had my wisdom teeth yanked. It didn't kill the pain - I just didn't give a crap.

I can't do codeine. It does kill the pain, but it also makes me so sick that I'd rather just be in pain.

I had quinoa and veggies for dinner.

BBQ sauce, bananas, ice cream...these things have no business on a pizza.

I don't know what y'all are talking about.

I'm having pizza with my sisters on Saturday, though.

I agree. BBQ sauce on pizza is an idea from the devil. It's evil.

Got me a new bike....................

Plus, I've been coping with a reaction to a new drug doc put me on.......... Meloxicam. It's for arthritis and such. After 3 days, my face and upper chest turned beet-red! It's like a bad sunburn. Not too uncomfortable, but stopped taking them yesterday, so it may take another day or two to recoup.

Oh yeah! I took that stuff once, for the same reason, and with the same results!

Trouble is, I have a lot of trouble ever connecting the physiological dots. It took DAYS for me to finally realize that my symptoms might just be a result of taking a NEW med. I was beet red, sweating profusely, felt like I was having the world's worst hot flash (although at the time, I didn't know what that was like). The arthritis hadn't even been all that bad! I decided I was MUCH happier just dealing with the arthritis.

All that family history is very cool.

Well now. Y'all beat that other thread (72 pager) to death and are still going strong. So each of you gets the Hamster Cage prize!

I'd rather have a bunny or a kitty prize.

We have to get to 2000 for the bunny prize, 3500 for the kitty prize.
