Hey all...

First things first...

I must share with you that the name selected for the scooter is going to be Scarlett.  There were a couple of votes for that name and it seems to be very fitting for her.  So, I thank you and Scarlett thanks you.

Now, for today's exciting news.  It seems that last night I had one of those 'moments' that when the smoke finally clears, you just have to shake your head and wonder just what the heck fire happened.  Or in other words, just another day in the life of Snigglefritz.

Okay, now for the juicy details...

 Last night I was cooking up a storm and was in the process of making up a batch of home made mashed potatoes (straight from the box, of course) to go with the pot roast that had been simmering all day.  Anyway, as I was prep'ing the taters and wisking the gravy (because multi tasking is so much fun) I stepped over to open up a bag of seasoning that was on the counter top and va-voom!!!  Somewhere, tucked away in a dark corner beneath a kitchen cabnet, there must have been a vile creature from the deapth of hell, plotting and waiting to unleash it's horrid attack upon me.  To run out and deposit a slippery ooze from it's under belly along the kitchen floor.  Knowing that it would cause undue misfortune to me.  Or, perhaps it was an ice cube or something like that.  Anywho, as I was heading back towards the stove (can't let my gravy get lumpy, ya know) and I managed to locate this slippery substance with the bottom of my bare foot.  Zoop!!!  Like a sack of taters, down I go.  Ah, but fortunately it was a good thing that the stove was there to brake my fall.  Well, you can probably guess what happened next.  Yes, I slipped and made a boo-boo.  I did manage to do a self test of just how hot the elements get on a stove top and also was able to see just how hot bubbling water, milk and butter feels.  Yes-sir-re-bob, it hurts like the dickens.  Not only did I manage to burn my hand, I was able to take out a two quart pot of the previously mentioned mixture and splash it all over my arm and face.  Not to mention the mess on the stove and counter top that I made, but I also got my favorite t-shirt all nasty too.  Bummer.  So, I spent my dinner time with a bag of ice on my face and arm in an attempt to cool things down and I did manage to prevent most areas from getting too bad.  I think the only place that really got zapped was the palm of my hand and I can live with that for awhile. 

The silver lining in this little tale is that now tonight, I do not have to worry about cooking any dinner...because I have everything from last night left over.  Mmm-mmmm!

Now, pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Ouch...I hope you all have a smok'n...er, good day.

Hey all...

It's time to reach out to the friendly folks out here in Mindsay and ask for a helping hand.  It seems that I need a little help in coming up with a name for my new baby and am asking for your help in coming up with a good one for her.  Yes indeed, I finally picked up my new rig and here are just a couple of shots to give you an idea as to how she looks. 

Mmmmm...nothing quite like 750 lbs of vibrating machine to make the commute to and from work a pleasure.

Okay, so now it's time to play....

"Name The Baby"

Okay, so if you can think of a good one for her...just pass it along.

Thanks!

Hey all...

Sure seems like it was just yesterday when I was burning up the keyboards trying to post about this and that in the life and times of Snigglefritz.  Oh my, how quickly the tide can turn some times.  I know that between work and life in general...time has become quite a commodity and it always seems to run out when it comes to wanting to do some personal chit-chatting here with all of the fine folks at mindsay.  I do hope that all is well out there and I do extend a heart felt well wish for a speedy recovery for our good friend snuggs. 

So, today (and yesterday) is/was my birthday.  Yipee!!!  Oh the perks of being a Leap Year baby.  I am fortysomething today and am looking forward to seeing what this next year has in store.  Perhaps changes at work...perhaps chages in life...perhaps changes in feelings.  Who knows what is hiding just around the corner?  Only tomorrow will tell.

Until the next time that I can cheat a few minutes away from the tasks at hand...take care and be good to one another.

Hey all...

They say that you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube...

and you can't fix your wireless router power chord when you suck it up in the vacuum cleaner.

Well, I just made that last part up.  Never-the-less, I can't get my internet connection up and running on my laptop at home because some how the wireless router's power chord jumped up from behind the desk and landed right in front of the vacuum cleaner.  That sucks.  My poor router chord...it's just was not a pretty sight.  So, lucky for me I am working in the office today and I finally get a chance to catch up on the wonderful reading material here at Mindsay and perhaps today I will get lucky and make it to the high tech gizmo store to pick up a new router (or power chord, if I'm lucky) and get it up soon.  I hope, I hope, I hope.

Until then...have a super spank'n good day!

Hey all...

I am just taking a little break in the action known as "vacation" and wanted to say that I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas and also that you have a safe and happy New Year's.
