Glad the weekend is almost upon us.

@TheHorse Yes, I am. Today I decided it was a big laundry day. I still had summer clothes to store. Now this is done. Tomorrow I plan to rest.

Are you still in "getting stuff done" mode?

@LadyDuck Laundry! Thanks for the reminder! I had earmarked today as a laundry day and forgot to send myself an email!

The Cubs will be power for a few more seasons until Bryant and all his fellow young players hit the big money contracts and the Cubs will not be able to keep them all.

@vandana7 we eat idlis on sunday monday and tuesday and aunty also on those three days Talk of Hannibals....

@TheHorse idlis are ..lol...very difficult to explain...ok ..I will try...you know black lentil..we take black lentil peeled one ...soak it for 6 to 8 hours and we also get boiled rice out here...it is available like semolina (hope you know that). We soak that too. For every one lentil cup, we use two cups of boiled rice flour or powder ..whatever you call it. We call it rawa. Then in the evening we grind it to cake batter consistency. Leave it over night for fermenting. Following morning we add salt and we have idli vessels...they have you know tiny holes in them. We apply a little bit of oil, and pour this batter in those and steam it...in microwave it takes about four and a half minutes. Good protein source, and since rice is boiled much of the starch is out of way. I eat it with mango pickle. For dad and aunt I prepare some chutney. Peanuts ...fry them, and peel them, add half onion, green chillies, some cumin powder, tomatoes to taste, salt to taste, and corriander. Grind. Raw onion good in the morning. It keeps sun stroke away. On the whole, supposed to be healthy breakfast. Everybody eats this so even I eat this. End result looks like this Actually folks like hora and porridge would love idlis...its supposed to be a delicacy with sambhar (which is a type of lentil soup).

Six out of seven sounds pretty good. What is idlis? I ate corn flakes this morning. And half a banana.

Doggies that you play Frisbee with? Or doggies that you eat?

@TheHorse Dogs you play Frisbee with. There are different vendors that sell pet products, take donations for rescues, etc.

@tammys85 Sounds like a worthy cause. I think dogs would taste greasy anyway. I'd rather play with them.

@TheHorse Yeah, I honestly don't know when I'm off unless I check my schedule for some reason. We are scheduled three weeks in advance... I set up alarms in my calendar to go to work... It has happened that I wake up before time for the alarm, so I get ready and go to work, only to find out I wasted two hours of my day off!

@DaddyEvil I find myself automatically getting up at 6:30 AM these days, whether I need to or not.

I take it you're busy weekends as well. I am too, but at my own pace.

@TheHorse I have no yuppie clothing. But I also do not have jeans. Not sure what I wil do, Wish I had a jean jacket like when I was a kid.

@sallypup Heh. I think I had one at some point. My "formal" pants are carpenters pants. I'll have to model my new flannel shirts as Winter approaches.

Will you wear yuppie clothing with your cowboy hat? Or will you go all-out cowgirl?

This week was "productive." But I hope next week is a bit more relaxing.

We (the teachers) didn't know either. It turns out they're updating to some new technology, but they didn't overlap the two. They expected us to just do without for awhile. Needless to say the projectors are back in several classrooms now.

@TheHorse so far, good. Odd, and pensive, life taking me directions I never would have seen coming...and dont have an issue with, but good.

I hope it is a good one for you.

@TheHorse long story i'll not bore ya with :)

How come you dread the weekends?

I think Admin is planning on replacing them with something more high tech, but poor planning led to a gap between the old and the new. Not very smart!

@TheHorse Ahhh, well laid plans again.

Well, I think the Cubbies were in the World Series in 1945, but lost. The last time they won was 1908. They also won in 1907. I was very young then.

@TheHorse Wow! You were there for that? You really age well.

It ain't over yet. I hear some goat braying in a distant field.

I was going to grade some papers this morning, but a friend is coming over to check out guitars at Guitar Center with me.
