TGIF – Friday open thread

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on September 22, 2006 at 1:05 pm

‘ello :)

Update: Here’s a little misc. rambling:

– I feel like I’m coming down with something. Have had a frog in my throat most of the week, have coughed and sneezed some as well – it’s been worse this evening than any other point during the week. I think my immune system is down. This is what being too busy for your own good, not eating when you should, stressing, and not getting enough sleep does to you!

– Tomorrow is the first ‘official’ day of fall, but it’s felth fall-ish all week here. My favorite season has arrived. I dig the cooler weather, watching the colors of the leaves change, the smell of the air, the fact that all sorts of sports fun starts, like the beginning of the NFL season and the NHL as well.

– Speaking of, less than two weeks to go before the NHL hockey season starts … can’t help but be reminded of the end of last year’s season:

;)

The ‘Canes play their season opener at home against the Sabres on October 4th. Here’s the NHL schedule for October.

    2. Ryan says:

      Here’s my typical useless Friday contribution – I hate being at work :)

    3. Severian says:

      Man, I hear ya. Usually it’s not too bad, but this week has been tough. I’m ready to go to sleep.

    4. Ryan says:

      It doesn’t help when I have a window in front of me, it’s a beautiful day, and I’d rather be playing golf.

    5. I’d rather be snoozing on my comfy couch at the moment …

    6. Karl says:

      Wouldn’t we all.

    7. Severian says:

      I hear ya Ryan, I work on the 4th floor, with a wall of windows in my office overlooking a small pond with a fountain, a small lake and forest with a gazebo and a walkway. The weather is clear, few puffy clouds, warm, slight breeze…what the hell am I doing in here? :((:((:((

    8. Welll … would now be a good time to start a fund raising drive to fill my tip jar and ad space up to the point I could blog day and night from home rather than at the 8-5? Then I could be taking a 30 min. nap on my cushy couch on a Friday afternoon if I wanted to ;) :D

    9. Ryan says:

      Shameless tip plug.. :) Hehe..

      Let me see how much my date this evening costs and I’ll get back to you.

    10. Your date has a price tag? Do tell! ;)

    11. Severian says:

      Hey ST, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas…:-"

    12. Ryan says:

      :)

      Dinner, drinks, and a movie. I did just get paid, though :)

    13. Have fun, Ry – you smooth operator!

    14. Ryan says:

      Haha thanks. I will.

    15. G Monster says:

      I have a texas hold em game tonight. Should I win a bunch of money, I will pay off my macy’s card.

    16. Baklava says:

      Ken Mehlman speaks…

    17. Bak, I linked to the cartoon in my earlier Chavez post from this morning …

    18. Baklava says:

      oops. I can’t claim I hang on your every word ! :o

      My excuse is that I’ve been very very busy. ;)

    19. Skul says:

      And top o’ the mornin’ to you also Sis.

    20. benning says:

      Just when I thought the weather was going to cool down it decided to stay hot. And muggy. Yech! Can’t wait for the late Autumn!

    21. benning says:

      ST, you must becareful! Full-time blogging can lead to Blogger’s Spread! *GASP!*:d

    22. Drewsmom says:

      I already have a spread, oh well. I’m off to a county fair with my kid, think I’ll get an candied apple with nuts and a giant dog and maybe some cotton candy. I have a sweetooth alot bigger than my kids’.:-&

    23. NC Cop says:

      Hockey is back!!! Thank God!!! That’s why October is my favorite time of the year. The weather is great and you have baseball playoffs, football, and hockey!!!! Ahhhh, DirecTV!!!!!!

      S.T. have you seen the “Caniac” day they are having at the RBC on Sept. 30? They are going to have an open practice, an autograph session, and you can get your pic taken with the Stanley Cup!!!! I’m gonna try and make it.

    24. jeff says:

      Amen sister. I LOVE me some hockey. Let’s go NEW YORK RANGERS 2006

    25. NC Cop says:

      Alright, Jeff!!! A fellow Rangers fan!!!!!

      I pull for the home team, but I’m a NY fan through and through.

    26. Marshall Art says:

      Sis, believe me that it is with great concern that I say, you seem to be a bit of a sickly sort. Since I started visiting here, this must be the third incident of being under the weather. I work, stay up late (check the times on my posts), and eat poorly. I haven’t done much to be healthy since I quit smoking tobacco two years ago, except for one thing: I still take quality suplements daily. The good ones are pricier, but worth it. I recommend it for everyone.

      Autumn is great. I, too, love football but lost the enthusiasm for hockey when Bill Wirtz took the Blackhawks off the TV years ago. Now, the Hawks suck out loud and I just can’t get into it. Instead, I dig hoops. Football and hoops do it for me. Now, if autumn could just go right back into spring, I’d be golden.

    27. Lorica says:

      Booooo I do have to work tomorrow. Some stuff came in and they want it posted prior to Monday. Ohhh well it is time and a half so I ain’t gonna complain. :) Night all I hope you have a good date Ryan. I have a date with me pillow. – Lorica
