[MissHoneychurch]

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

How are you today?

So I will be staying home today :D A handyman was supposed to come tomorrow to exchange the counters on my heaters. Since tomorrow I have a meeting to attend and my boss has a bunch of meetings to attend I decided to call the handyman and he is coming today already. I took the day off today on my overtime (I have enough) and stay home.
Now, what should I do till the handyman comes (no idea when that will be. Probably in the afternoon)?

Picture of Day

[malta blue]

1. Good morning!

I am awake :banghead:

Lucky you, staying home from work. If I were you, I would spend my day on that glorious couch :D

[MissHoneychurch]

3. Good ... uh ... morning malta

:hi: :hug:

What time is it for you?? 3am??? Girl, ya better go back to sleep!!!

Now, that is an idea I like too and will probably do so :D

[malta blue]

15. Oh 3:45 ish right now

:banghead:

Yes, i'm sleeping in hour intervals. :nuke:

[MissHoneychurch]

20. What keeps you waking up?

or who? Zeus?

[malta blue]

35. Not sure...

The dogs are better now that it is warmer because they stay out until late.

I just toss and turn. Truth be told, I hate sleeping alone.

[MissHoneychurch]

40. You have doggies

and Little MB ... no reason to sleep alone :evilgrin:

[malta blue]

43. Thank goodness for the dogs!

Little mb is at her dad's. Plus, that is like sleeping next to a propeller :rofl:

I have just always felt off in this house by myself.

12 days!!!!

[MissHoneychurch]

45. Not too bad

for a wait :D

Going to get me some food now, will be back later

[XemaSab]

2. Good morning!

I like the picture. Where is it? :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Good morning Xema

:hi:

It is a staircase I took on the Island Rügen in Germany in a villa.

http://www.watertravel.com/ruegen-jagdschloss.htm

[XemaSab]

5. Cool!

It looks very old. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Not too old

it was built in the 1840s.

[XemaSab]

8. Here in California that's practically prehistoric

:D

(And I mean that almost literally. We achieved statehood in 1850, and a lot of the state was 100% Native American at that time, except for some Spanish/Mexican settlements along the coast.)

[MissHoneychurch]

12. But the Native American buildings and art

is so much older :)

[XemaSab]

16. The California Indians

didn't build buildings or make much lasting art. They were big into basketry, and there are a few petroglyphs around, but aside from that...

The only thing I can think of that they REALLY went to town on in the state are grinding holes for acorns.

[MissHoneychurch]

19. What about the totems

didn't the Native Americans of Northern California made them? Or the ones even further north? At least the ones that lived on the Pacific coast.

[XemaSab]

22. I think those tribes were further north

The Natives along the north coast did make some really cool redwood canoes, though. :)

[SeattleGirl]

7. Good morning, MissHoney!

What a fabulous picture! Where did you take it?

Hope all is well with you. :hi: :loveya: :pals:

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Good morning SeattleGirl

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

see my reply #4 to Xema ;)

I am doing fine. I am glad about the extra day at home :D

[Richard Steele]

9. Good Morning, MHC!

That photo reminds me of the cover shot from
my favorite Bahaus album. It was all live recordings
they did for the BBC, entitled "Swing the Heartache" IIRC.

Their live version of "St. Vitus Dance" was so much better
than the studio version they recorded for general release.

[MissHoneychurch]

11. Good morning Richard

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

I have to admit, I never heard of them :blush:

How was your weekend?

[Richard Steele]

13. NEVER HEARD of them? Oh, my goodness, are we gonna have such a long talk sometime!

Hey, check your "My DU" icon.
I posted "the story of how I set my car on fire" to you;
took me 3 edits to whittle it down to 60 seconds worth of reading.

[MissHoneychurch]

17. I guess we do have to have that talk

sooner or later :)

I read your car story. I would have never dared to change the battery to begin with. Good thing nothing worse happened.

[Richard Steele]

26. Well, the first thing you should know about BAHAUS:

They singlehandedly kicked off the "GOTH" movement.
Anyone who says otherwise is either very dishonest or very mistaken.

They did it with 4 minutes of the 2nd-best LIVE performance
in recorded human history:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEITSHSPLcE

[MissHoneychurch]

27. OK, that explains why I never heard of them

I mean I know Bauhaus as architecture. But since it is a Goth band and Gothic isn't really my music ....

I will listen to it at one point.

[Richard Steele]

29. That's the thing: It was never a "Goth" band.

There were no "Goths" back then, and they never tried to create any.

It was a very UNIQUE band, and that one particular live performance
lit the fuse on the entire GOTH movement. One performance among many.

They had actually declared the band to be a FAILURE, and had broken up
before teenagers in black clothes and heavy mascara began clumping up
on street corners, and a thousand copycat wannabe groups started trying
to copy the FEEL of those four magnificent minutes.

[MissHoneychurch]

32. So they "invented" something

that they didn't know they invented?

[MissHoneychurch]

28. We won't agree on music

sorry ....

[Richard Steele]

30. Sorrier. nm

[MissHoneychurch]

31. I am sure we will agree on some stuff

:D

[Richard Steele]

34. You are a wonderful human being...

...and I will always treasure the memories
of my interactions with you, for as long as I live.

Goodbye.

[MissHoneychurch]

39. Aww thank you Richard

:loveya:

I enjoy our talks too.

To many more :toast:

[Richard Steele]

81. To many more indeed!

:toast:

[Broken_Hero]

14. Good morning,

I'm doing pretty good actually....

I'm happy as a clam in butter...wait what?



:hide:

[MissHoneychurch]

18. Good morning petersond

:hi:

Clam in butter?? Are you trying to make me hungry at this time of the day???

[Broken_Hero]

21. Perhaps, I'm trying to make you hungry...or

...wait yes, you caught me, red handed...I'm trying to make you hungry...:P

[MissHoneychurch]

25. Thank you

I haven't eaten anything yet .... I guess I need to talk to my fridge what he has to offer :P

[Eurobabe]

23. Hey, been looking for you on FB

now I find out where you are!! :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

24. Hey there

good to see you. I'm coming to FB

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

[Droopy]

33. Mornin' Miss Honeychurch

I'd take more pictures or find some more interesting ones on the internet and post them here in your free time today. I really like the photos you come up with.

I had a good weekend and it technically is still my weekend, but I have to go to a damn safety meeting this morning. I can't even take the simple pleasure of eating the donuts they provide because I'm not supposed to eat those on my diet. :(

[MissHoneychurch]

37. Good morning Droopy

:hi: :hug:

Thank you. All pics I post in my Good Morning threads are my pictures. None is of the Internet (except the one or two LOLcats)

The handyman just left again, the rest of the day is mine :D Have to go out to buy groceries but that isn't too bad.

I am sure you can sin and have a donut. :hug:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

36. Good Morning MissHoneychurch :)

:hi: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

Couch. Snooze alarm. Perhaps a book. If you're taking the day off n all, it might as well be a restful one. :)

Mom's home, and we're all re-adjusting to schedules that haven't been in place in 3 months.

[MissHoneychurch]

38. Good morning SCE

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

No need for the snooze alarm. Handyman just left. :D TV and book and the couch.

Glad to hear that your mom is finally home. I bet you all are happy. Is she bossy? :D

[SalmonChantedEvening]

41. Mom? Bossy? No! Never.

Did I just say that? :rofl:

It's nice to have her home. The dog's loving it, it means no crate and the lap of her choosing. :D

[MissHoneychurch]

42. How long will she stay with you?

Mom's are always bossy ... no matter how old you are :rofl:

[MissHoneychurch]

44. I'm going to buy some groceries now

should be back latest in an hour

:hi:

[Sky Masterson]

46. Good Morning MissH

Lovely picture. I say you should cure cancer and end war on your day off..No pressure. :P
:hi::hug: :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

48. Good morning Sky

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Do you mind if I eat something before I start?

[Sky Masterson]

51. Sure

You will need plenty of energy for the task ahead :P

[Callalily]

47. Good morning MissH!

Monday's are good days to be off of work. An extended weekend is always welcome.

That picture is just great! You always come up with some interesting angles to your shots.

Heading out to the grocery store? Can you please pick up some ice cream for me? Your choice of flavor - I trust your culinary judgment. :rofl:

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

49. Good morning Callalily

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I actually stood in front of the ice cream section. But no flavor really catched my eye or made my mouth watery. So I came back without any ... should I head out again? :P

[Callalily]

54. No ice cream!

Oh well, it may be a little too early. But if you happen to go back to the grocery, maybe pick up some sherbet?

Glad that you're enjoying your day off.

[MissHoneychurch]

55. Sherbet?

do you mean Sorbet?? Or what do you mean.

I love ice cream but I try to be good .... not that I was good with my lunch ... Mac&Cheese :eyes:

[Callalily]

57. Sherbet and

sorbet are different, although I like them both. Sorbet is mostly fruit and/or fruit juice - no dairy while sherbet contains dairy or egg. Typically it's smoother than sorbet.

Mac & Cheese? Wow! Haven't had that in ages. Sounds like a good lunch to me! ;)

[MissHoneychurch]

59. Oh OK

Didn't know that.

It was a good lunch. I don't have it very often but I craved it today. And my grocery store sells Kraft Mac&Cheese :)

[Callalily]

61. *Laughing*

Really? Your grocery sells Kraft? Now that's funny. I'm always amazed on my travels what US products I'll find, and where.

Gotta head out for work now.

You enjoy the rest of your day. I think you should continue relaxing. :rofl:

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

62. They also sell Hershey's chocolate syrup

evil ... evil ....

Have a great day :hi:

And yes, I will continue relaxing :D

:loveya:

[AirmensMom]

52. Good morning, Misslily!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I take it you don't have the day off. :hug:

Don't forget to add coffee to your list. ;)

Never met an ice cream flavor I didn't like. :9

[Callalily]

56. Good morning AirmensMom!

The day off? Today? Is it some holiday I don't know about? Shoot, maybe I should be calling in sick. :rofl:

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[AirmensMom]

67. No, but ...

we should all follow MissHC's lead, don't you think? :rofl:

And as you can probably tell by now, I haven't exactly taken my own advice. :hide:

[AirmensMom]

50. Good morning, MissHC!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

A handyman? :bounce:

So you've probably already found something to do ... considering that it's afternoon by now. :shrug: Did you get your clocks changed? Taking Monday off is a good way to adjust. :D

I painted all weekend. Made a lot of progress and it's looking nice. Maybe we'll get this mess cleaned up one day after all.

[MissHoneychurch]

53. Good morning AirmensMom

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

Yeah, a handyman ... old and kinda strange :shrug: But he was all done noon and the rest of the afternoon is MINE!!! :woohoo:

Changed the clocks yesterday. It wasn't too bad. I was actually awake at my normal time. Slept a lot over the weekend so I am well rested. Might take another nap later on.
Just had a totally unhealthy lunch ... Mac&Cheese. I am bad, I know.

So you are ready for Tuesday now?

[AirmensMom]

66. Woohoo!

:woohoo: So what will you do with the rest of your day? Napping can't take up the WHOLE day. :rofl:


Sorry 'bout the delay ... you know how it is. x(

Not really, but we will be ready enough. C likes how it all looks. I think he was surprised that we did it. :D

[blueraven95]

58. Good Afternoon, MissH!

what a gorgeous picture!



Did you find something to do with your time?

[MissHoneychurch]

60. Good morning blueraven

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

I am laying on my couch and read a biography about Theodor Fontane http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Fontane

[blueraven95]

63. He looks interesting.

I've never read any of his books, but I one day, when I have more time for pleasure reading, I will. :)

[Blue_Tires]

64. good morning

don't really have a comment; just wanted to post

[MissHoneychurch]

69. Hey Blue_Tires

always nice to see you :hug:

Sometimes I don't know either what to post :D

[Brewman_Jax]

65. G'day, MissH

:hi: :hug:

Had a dreary, rainy and cooler-than-normal weekend.

Free time waiting for the handyman--hmm. You could do some training.

[MissHoneychurch]

70. Uhhhh ...

training??? Training what?? How to lay on my couch :D

Hey Brewman :hi:

:loveya: :hug:

[Brewman_Jax]

73. Are your heater counters fixed?

too bad you had to wait all day. :(

[MissHoneychurch]

76. Yes

and they got fixed around noon. So the waiting wasn't too bad :D

[Brewman_Jax]

79. All done

good! Time for training...
