Monday, Monday
I didn't want to disappoint anybody who has come to depend on my Monday grumbling, so decided to do a quick post. I want us all to remain regular, but must caution you, this post has little or no fiber content.
I really, really, really, am dreading this Monday, even more than usual, and would like nothing better than to pull the sheets over my head, and hide in bed all day. I am sure the Monday stormtroopers would find me though, and then there would be hell to pay.
The weather here is suppose to start heating up this week, and I'm glad. It's nearly summer, and these coolish, fall-like days have got to go. We gotta sweat, baby!
Plant tally:
- 6 out of 6 hanging baskets are still living,
although one seems determined to end it all
- All four potted arrangements are doing ok,
one is actually very lush
- Actual yard plantings, the news could be better,
but I'm not giving up yet
I am amazed that everything is still alive, this is my best effort so far. I guess watering does make a difference, huh?
Ok, that's all I got. Well, except for this:
Would you rather:
1. have the eyes of a fly OR the arms of a squid?
2. speak like you were in a Shakespeare play OR speak like Yoda?
3. be bitten by 300 mosquitos OR have 50 paper cuts that are soaking in a tub of lemon juice?
It's Monday, be off with you, and have the best day that you can.

Congrats on all the plants, your thumb has turned green! For the questions:
!. both would be cool, probably the eyes of a fly.
2. speak like I was in a Shakespearean play
3. I have been bitten by 300 mosquitos!
Have a great Monday! At least I hope it isn't too bad...
b2g - I was going to mention my brown thumb, and I am not sure if I have gotten better, or it's because the weather got cooler, lol
300 mosquito bites! YIKES!
It was hell getting out of bed for me too, I really don't want to lose my vacation mode but I don't have a choice. The powers that be would be all over my ass too.
1. have the eyes of a fly (don't know why, unless I could look at a sexy guy all day long, then I could see mulitple!).
2. speak like Yoda (Shakespear would be too irritating LOL).
3. Have 50 paper cuts that are soaking in a tub of lemon juice (I HATE itching worse than being in pain LOL).
Have a good one, and I sure hope this week goes fast! *hugs*
karen - oh yeah, it's your first day back! sorrier for you than me, coz those Mondays after vacation are a real bite.
Squid, Shakespeare, Paper Cuts in Lemon Juice.
Yeah, they do bite LOL I went to work last Thursday so its really not too terrible. Just have the monthly financials to do, and will have to work alllll week. Poor me, huh? LOL! I know, I know... I work 4-10's so that's better than 5 days. You really don't feel sorry for me now, do you? LOL
I have been up since 4 am, and dealing with this CHILD who is driving me batty, I have no patience today.
But if I had the arms of a squid, I could just reach over and grab her from where I am sitting.
I think I would prefer to speak like I was in a Shakespearean play, but then that may confuse everyone. What the heck, that may be fun. :)
And I think I would take mosquito bites, itchy over pain, at least you can use benedryl to get rid of the itch.
EEEEEEE DB having a grumble it must be Monday ;)
good to hear from you.
Well done you with the plants you are better at this plant lark than I am .. I just have to look at em and they you go -they wilt.
Ok the weather is hot ,,, V hot ,,Vhot... here right now and absolutely georgeous... (no coordination this morning every leter typed is a feat of achievement)
OK your list
1) flies like an eye... I need to know what is going on ALL the time
2) Shakespeare was ENglish.... but not yorkshire..so maybe shakespeare
3) OK this confused me ... how can paper cuts soak in a tub??? do they have fluffy towels for when they get out?
I know you are not having a good time but I hope you get a few smiles today
'Glad you didn't pull the sheets over your head!
Eyes of a fly;
Yoda (I could be a skrink or something, that might be quite useful); and
Paper cuts rather than donate blood to 50 mosquitos!
Yes, Monday stinks... Esp while wearing a John Deer hat, okay, bad joke.
1. Eyes of a fly, more dimensions can been seen, besides, a simple pair of sunglasses could disguise that from the world.
2. Old English any day.
3. Ouch. Itchiness or pain. Neither.
This must be a good year for plants, as I haven't managed to kill mine yet. That is really saying a lot.
Glad to see that you are back!
Good job with the plants!
Mondays don't bother me!
Lets see.
Eyes like a fly I suppose.
Like Yoda speak would I.
paper cuts in lemon juice. Just sounds better then all those squitto bites. I have only two right now and they are driving me insane!!!
Morning DB
Tuesday morning here now, so my Monday is over, and it wasnt too bad :)
Eyes of a fly
Shakespeare
hmm, I don't want either, but if I have to choose, probably the paper cuts, ouch.
Hope your day went well.
I think right now I would have rathered had the paper cuts than Beebee all day.
I have totally lost my sanity now.
Well, as of right now, Mondays aren't so bad anymore;) But that will soon end, no doubt!
1. eyes of a fly
2. speak like Yoda?
3. have 50 paper cuts that are soaking in a tub of lemon juice?
1-arms of a squid. I'd get so dizzy and puke with those fly eyes... and I've been freaked out by flys ever since I watched Jeff Goldbloom morph into that scary creature! I just can't take it!!!!!
2-I'd love to speak like yoda. But I want the same sounding voice, not just the pattern he speaks in!
3-Hmmm... probably 300 mosquitos... I can always get that after bite stuff that makes them stops stinging. But paper cuts in lemon! That's insane torture!!!! Wowser!!
Hi friend, I wold opt for neither. You know, temperature here is soaring up to 43 C.
Nice ti here your plants are healthy.
Let see.
1.Eyes of a fly
2.Shakespearean
3.300 male mosqitoes, they acually don't suck blood, only nector females do.
I would have answered your little multiple choice questions but I just stubbed my little toe and I'm in too much pain... ouch ouch ouch... mother fu...
1. Eyes of a fly only not quite as bulgy looking
2. Speaketh like Shakepeare, I would. ;)
3. Mosquito bites. At least the itching would stop after a time... paper cuts can hurt for hours!
So glad you're back.
I hope your monday passed without too much pain...
1. eyes of an fly - although they are a bit scary looking...
2. Speakith like Shakespeare... Yoda gets annoying after a while.
3. Wow, I think you've just come up with 2 new forms of torture. I was thinking papercuts until the whole lemon juice part...
Whoa! Denny almost swore!!! Anyway...
1. Arms of a squid... so so much fun could be had......
2. Speak like Yoda... either way, someone will be confused. But I think less people have been exposed to Yoda, bwahahaa....
3. Have 50 paper cuts that are soaking in a tub of lemon juice... I can't stand mosquitos.
My Monday was.... interesting.
1. Bird's Wings
2. Speak like Jackie Chan, or that prostitute from FULL METAL JACKET
3. Peel back my toe nails with pliers.
Sorry, marching to beat of own drummer.
Hello, m'dear! Monday is about over and I hope you have a great evening.
1) Eyes of a fly. Cute...
2) Shakespearean talketh.
3) Paper cuts. It'd hurt like mad, but mosquito bites can be even nastier...
**hugs**
miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you...!
come back soon :D
1 eyes of a fly
2 shakespearean
3 paper cuts (the thought of 33 critters munching on me is not pretty.. and u dont malaria from paper ;) )
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
OK, NOW where are you?
Yoo hoo, DB, let us know that you are ok.
Hey DB...welcome back!! What...you're gone again already??? What the....???
1. Squid arms (I could get SO much extra crap done!!!)
2. Shakespeare!
3. Paper cuts...mosquitos are just gross.
Congrats on your plants still being alive! YAY!
Let's see: Squid, Yoda, paper cuts.
Mosquitos are nasty.
Sneaking back in to leave you Wednesday smiles!
1. arms of squid
2. like yoda (few words, efficient speak)
3. mosquito bites (came pretty darn close one summer, I think I had about 60 on my legs only)
ps. impressed by your green thumb
Monday, I also wanted to crawl back into bed and snuggle down into the sofy comfy covers. That had partly to do with your question #3 about skeeters. I was bitten by several and I'm allergic so I was swollen so badly and medicated to the hilt. Luckily someone else could drive carpool duty..
1) The eyes of a fly b/c I think they have vision all the way around? Besides I have monkey arms already, which is close to that of a squid out of water. ;)
2) Speak like I was in a Shakespearean Play especially to honor my oldest who has acted in such, learned the dialogue and just graduated high school tues! :)Besides, I become tired of translating the Shakespearean "English" to the audience members. More fun to speak it than translate......
3) Paper cuts hands down (all puns intended). I do not swell to orange sizes from paper cuts & 300 skeeter bites would literally kill me.
Where do you come up w/ these doozies?
(to "DL" Benedryl does not relieve the itch for everyone, sadly) And DB, forgot to say I'm glad the plants are coming along. I don't have that knack.
most difficult questions yet!
squid arms (get more done)
shakespeare talk
mosquitos (but only if they aren't carrying diseases...)
I got back on Monday and am still recuperating! As far as plants go... I haven't even ventured out to the back porch tocheck out my orchids... I am afraid of what I might find!
Eyes of a fly, Shakespearean voice, 50 paper cuts
HOLA DB!
how come you never ask things like would you rather have a whole night of thai massage or being deep dipped in chocolate and have a beautiful companion lick the whole thing off your body??? .... Nevermind...
About those questions,
Yoda I'd be with squid arms to evil confront better... And let's see if those mosquitoes, close to me, to approach dared with all my hands a light saber holding... Paper cuts could still set me up an ambush though... Life is hard, whatthehell!
I just read about your pup,
hope things are all right,
UN ABRAZO, AMIGO
:)
Well, it's Saturday and I hope you are ok.
Please give us an update on your pup and you.
*hugs*
Monday, Monday is now Saturday, Saturday. Hope all is well with dbpup and you....
just blogging around. I hope everything is OK. Look after yourself.
Singing to your plants, while watering them is the best combo!!! And umz .. I go for the arms of a squid, the mouth of Shakespeare, and the paper-cuts! Are you watching too many horror movies again?
Hey, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!
I have a shakespeare tavern site. It pretty much covers shakespeare tavern related stuff.
Come and check it out if you get time :-)
