iraunink and I voted on my way to work this morning. We got to our polling place maybe two minutes before it opened - we were sixth and seventh in line. There was one person in front of us to sign the book - most of the line ended up in the A-F line. We filled out our ballots, and fed them to the counting machine - I was the third ballot counted, she was the fourth.iraunink rubbed it out for me. My leg still hurts, but it should walk out in the next couple of hours.iraunink to the Friend's School Plant Sale. I think this is the seventh year we've gone. Out of bed at 5:30, in line to pick up our wrist-bands about 6:30, got the wrist-bands shortly after 7:00, off to breakfast at Burger King, back for opening at 9:00 (they moved that up an hour - previous years it was 10:00). We were in the second group, we got in the door about 9:05 or 9:10, and were in our car driving away by 9:45. We got hosta, daylilies, tomatoes, various herbs, geraniums, ageratum, and a couple of coleus.iraunink went back to bed. I went off and got a surface cavity filled in the mid-afternoon. Other than that, it was a very low-key day.iraunink is having a dead day. I have gamers showing up shortly, and that will keep me busy until dinnertime.iraunink may plant some of yesterday's loot.
I have a short story (9,280 words) that is ready to send out to beta-readers.
Take two parts Wooster and Jeeves , one part ‘The Mouse That Roared’, and a dash of Inspector Clouseau. Pour into a spaceship and shake vigorously.
Anyone interested?
daedala was renting my spare room.iraunink. In three months I'd meet her. In just over ten months we'd get married. I had no idea this was coming. (I have a joke about this - if someone had told me on Valentine's Day 2000 that I'd be celebrating Valentine's Day 2001 with my wife, I'd have told them they were crazy.)iraunink caused.
bernesemntdog & kosmickitten's, visit with Baby Ireneiraunink got some fabric, alcoholic contributions for the Minn-StF Pool Party, and some everyday groceries. iraunink's laptop (an IBM Thinkpad) died the other day. It looked like it was starting Windows, then went black, and nothing happened. When I tried to boot it in Safe Mode, it got to the fourth or fifth line, and died. :-(

iraunink!iraunink a three-year magazine subscription, and she gave me about a quarter of an LJ Permanent Account. And we're both very happy with our presents! iraunink & I took gave her parents their early / late Christmas present (they said it had to be for both 2006 & 2007) - we all went to see Les Misérables at Chanhassen Dinner Theater. We did the Wednesday matinée (which does have the advantage of being the cheapest - OK, tied with Saturday matinée for the cheapest - seating available) - seating started at 11AM, show started at 1PM and finished about 4PM. We all enjoyed it! iraunink got the second half. We got about an inch of water.kosmickitten & bernesemntdog had significantly greater problems. One of their trees fell down - nasty damage to his car, her windshield cracked, their house has some roof damage. Oh, and there are pieces of the Arts & Crafts Building in their front yard.iraunink asked me, "Do you understand women?" I replied "No, I just have some routines for dealing with them - they're kind of like black boxes. With this input, I get that output." iraunink is going to take the seeds and cast them upon the ground, we're likely to have more next year. As we understand it, this is the stuff you can use to make linen thread.
iraunink headed out to visit the elder son. She didn't get very far - when she tried to start the car, it went click-click-chunk. I tried, same thing. We found a service station that was open - they sent the tow-truck over, took the car away, and called us back about 45-60 minutes later.iraunink's sister. They'd bought it brand new, and had put a new transmission in at about 60,000 miles. We got it at about 120,000 miles. It's been getting reasonable to good maintenance, regular oil changes, and hasn't been involved in any major accidents.iraunink, is asking for input on writing groups in a post here. This is her second writing group - her first experience with one was, to put it frankly, awful.
