Raindrops on my window

[altivo]

Raining again. It's warm outside, very warm for December. We've been wobbling back and forth over a range of 50 degrees for the past week or so. The snow is melted, the ground is actually thawing to mud though that won't last. This rain is going to turn to ice and then snow overnight. Bizarre. Today's high temperature was 50°F, tomorrow's will be 13.

I've got about two more hours to be 58 years old. At 10:54 pm Eastern Time the counter clicks over again. Still not one of those "milestones" with a zero on the end, but that's looming out there in the dark. ;p

Except for helping with barn chores, I goofed off all day. I did make a pot of chili, though. Gary embroidered me another sweatshirt, this time with 'Tivo the Clydesdale Librarian on it. He used the Jim Groat badge as artwork for it, and it looks great. In the washer right now to get the interfacing out of the stitches but I'll get a photo or scan soon I hope. Entirely his idea to do this, unlike the Argos shirt which I requested specifically. He borrowed my badge and scanned it when I wasn't looking and worked up the embroidery design without being caught. I think he's just about ready to actually come to MFF for a day next year, perhaps on Saturday so he can see the parade and all.

Kept busy much of the day thinking everyone for the best wishes. If I missed any of you, thank you very much. It's good to have friends. (And even strangers. Over on F4L, I was inundated with birthday wishes from folks I didn't know at all.)

*sets out a spread with cake, ice cream, cookies, and little sandwiches shaped like ponies and wuffies*

Dig in everyone. Beer, wine, soda, and all that are in the cooler over there. Oh, and I'm watching to make sure all you canine types stay out of the chocolate. There's three kinds of cake, only one with chocolate icing.

Well before those 2 hours are up: Happy Birthday wishes! :)

I always thought you were a bit less of an old fart as I recalled you mentioning getting your first car in the mid-70s.

Anyhow, a preemptive happy birthday. I plan to be asleep later tonight. ;)

Happy birthday Horsey. :)

Well, happy birthday! Again!

mmmmm...I'll grab a Diet Pepsi, and I'll eat a pony sandwich...

Thanks and hugs.

First car I ever bought new from a dealer was a 1973 VW beetle, yes. But by then I was married and in graduate school. I had owned a motorcycle for several years, and then a used Opel Kadett that had belonged to my father before I had it. Two German cars. ;p The motorcycle was a Honda, though, not a BMW.

And I'm not an old fart yet. Still a fresh one. XD

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Have some of the food, there's a ton.

[altivo.livejournal.com]

There are both vegetarian and carnivorous sandwich versions. Just peek inside to be sure you get something you like. And no, the pony sandwiches are not made of ponies, nor the wolf sandwiches of wolf-meat. I think there's one kind of frozen yogurt too that has low sugar and fat.

I just noticed that I'm on your friends list, thank you. I've added you to mine, and here's a little birthday salad for you: Alfalfa...with Ranch Dressing!

And 58 candles: iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiii iiiiiiii

Oh, I'm an omnivore by necessity. I'll eat the pony sandwiches with meat in em.

Whinnyhi, Rider.

So are we gonna be putting the old stud out to pasture to retire? Oh wait, you are the librarian and librarians never retire they just get ornryier.

Happy foalday again just to say it again.

Oh, so you might consider MFF again at least one more time? Gee, maybe it is time for me to pay for the room. I really do enjoy it in spite of any problems and LOVE fursuiting (Do'H!). Working on Steed some more in fact and ordered the white feathers and ear ball bearings and more tail kanekelon and got the sewing machine all set up and making pads for leg shaping and so forth. Hey, it makes us feel younger and that is never a bad thing since I will be hitting another zero year in January.

Imperator ever faithful ever loving.

It was a good lazy day.

*hugs and murrs* Thanks. I've lost count of hugs, but that's OK because I'm never satiated.

[altivo.livejournal.com]

*warm hug* Thanks. It's really nice to hear from you.

[altivo.livejournal.com]

*squeaky hug* Thanks!

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Mmm, thanks. I do like ranch dressing as a matter of fact.
