EUREKA!

I can send my kids down and they can go all Jiu Jitsu on the bad kids in the library!

Tongiht is bookclub and it is at my house.   We read The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein.  Great book if you haven't read it.  It is all told from the dogs point of view. 

Anyway when you host the club, you have to provide the good and it needs to tie into the book in some way.  So...since this is told from the dogs point of view, I am serving Dog Chow and Dog Bone cookies.

AWE SOME!  Please do send them down here!

I'll send them down ASAP. They may expect payment, but don't worry, they work for peanuts, or cookies, or any other snack you may have handy.

ironannekidd - 2011-08-25 9:43 AM Robin, are you guys predicted to get anything out of Irene or not?

ceilidh - 2011-08-25 10:10 AM

Not a bit. It is supposed to be beautiful weather in the mountains this weekend. The weather is supposed to stop in the Charlotte area, which is about an hour and a half east of here.

ironannekidd - 2011-08-25 10:35 AM

Is it wrong that there is a little part of me that wishes you were going to be getting bad weather this weekend?

Not a washout, but just not beautiful weather. I hope you all have a good time this weekend. Enjoy the festivities.

No wait... Just in.... All  events have been canceled.. The weather is going to be horrible. Rains, wind, thunderstorms.

We can pretend, anyway.  Actually, I would rather the weather be crappy myself since I can't participate in the tri. But, I hate to wish bad weather on the rest of the people. I may still do the race to the rock if I get over my snit.

 

iowagander - 2011-08-25 12:29 PM Hello Ghoulies! How's everyone's Thursday going so far?

ceilidh - 2011-08-25 9:33 AM

 

TOM!!!

Fine, how is yours?

ironannekidd - 2011-08-25 9:37 AM

T OM!

So far not too bad. One shade above "meh." It's kid of frustrating that I'm at the mercy of other people's schedules in no less than 4 states right now, but that's typical.

On the good news side, I got two tickets to the Vikings - Chargers game to open the season! This will be my first regular season football game since high school (and I was working at that game). Sweet!

iowagander - 2011-08-25 12:38 PM

Herro! Although I'm fairly sure "Tom" was already one syllable...

ironannekidd - 2011-08-25 9:40 AM

SWEET! What will the weather be? Should I pack shorts, or cooler weather clothes for the game?

iowagander - 2011-08-25 12:44 PM

This is San Diego dear. We don't have "weather" as it's known to the rest of the country. Wear shorts, a t-shirt, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Bring a blanket and/or a sweatshirt in case it gets a little cloudy in the afternoon. You now have the tools you would need to pack for San Diego 12 months out of the year.

ironannekidd - 2011-08-25 9:47 AM

No offense, but I've heard this before. When my sister lived in northern CA she told me to pack pants, long sleeves, cool weather clothing because it never got out of the 60's, even though I was going in June. I get out there and they have a heat wave. It was 101 the day her and I were out shopping. People all around are talking about how it is never that warm and sunny. I leave, and the temp goes back to normal. So with the luck I have, I'd bring snow to southern CA.

"The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." - Mark Twain

Yes it can get cool here and September is actually at the tail end of the potentially HOT season (high 80's/low 90's or so where the stadium is), but temps in the bottom-left part of the state tend to be a bit more stable than those up north.

ironannekidd - 2011-08-25 1:02 PM

So I'll bring shorts, and a jacket.
