I love it! Chef Ramsay is so funny when he's on a tear... It is probably VERY tough to work under him like that but the chefs on HK are professionals and are SUPPOSED to know how to cook, etc. That's why he flips out so easily. The first time Hubby watched it with me, he sat on the chair and blinked for a while then cracked up... More than half of the rant was bleeped out and I was just sitting there laughing watching Hubby's reaction. Quite funny!  Smiley

Watching him on something like MasterChef is something completely different. He's in "teacher mode" and is a lot more gentle, because everyone on that are amateur chefs and he knows that they can easily make a lot more mistakes and don't have the training for "fine dining" like the gang on HK does. From what I've heard, he's really a great guy but one does NOT want to work for him because his standards are VERY high. Anything less, consider yourself dog food! LOL

Speaking of cheeky cats, WP decided that she was going to swat the Queen when she went by. I swear, one of the these days the Queen is gonna have enough and tabby fur is going to fly!

I've seen MC online a few times.  The thing that does strike me about him is that he doesn't ask more of anyone else than he would ask of himself.

Exactly, and that's a good part of why I like him.

On that note, I'm starting to get cross eyed, big time. Smiley I think I'd better head out for the night now and let my son have his computer time a little early tonight. I want my eyes to be working tomorrow during the writing marathon!

Have a great night everyone... See y'all in the morning. Cheesy

Have a good one VE Smiley

I'll need to head to the dollar store tommorrow for some cheap cayanne pepper to sprinkle over my flower beds, it appears some cheeky kitty is using them for a litter box....  Shocked

Smiley I did more excavating in the basement this evening. I cleared enough space so I could move a couple of things that gave me access to an area I want to work on and I've gotten the ironing board on top of my new cabinet so I can work on it. NOW I can get the pad tacked on -- with carpet tacks. All I have to do now is remember where I put the tack hammer! *sigh* I also threw a few things away and sacked up a bunch of VERY old newspapers that escaped from the grocery sack that they were once in. I also got some electrical cords laid out like I want them after I got myself untangled from them!
Time to catch my breath before I start working on dinner.

It has FINALLY started to rain. It's been drizzling and looking gloomy all day.

Afternoon.

We got all our "stuff" done this morning so tomorrow -- Moonie's birthday -- we won't have anything to do except go to lunch and do what she wants to do. We've been home for a while but I've been putting stuff away, answering phones and catching up.

Chapter 8: DONE!!  Smiley I wasn't quite finished the last scene of it when the bus got here so I decided to wrap it up while Son is watching TV.

Eyes hurty.... Smiley  Smiley

I'll bet! If you need to knock off early, go ahead. The only pressing thing I have to do this afternoon/evening is bake Moonie's cake.

I may wind up doing that even if I didn't have crossed eyes. We're getting wind and rain today and I'm hoping we do NOT lose power even though Hubby will be home in a couple of hours.

Thanks.

I'm going to see about getting a quick reread/edit if Son will let me that is..... Roll Eyes

Good luck.

We'll probably have a new "What's happenin'" thread by morning and I already have the title picked out.

And I just thought of how to start off Chapter 9... It's down in the ideas file! Cheesy

All I'm saying is that the leading lady's spunk comes out a little bit more... Hehehehehe....  Smiley

Showing the spunk is a good thing. That way it won't come as a big surprise to the reader when........ NEVER MIND!

Smiley Yeah, it won't be a surprise by "then" because it's been shown a LOT in the first few chapters! Wink

Chapter 8 has a lot of humor in it... That's all I'm saying publicly. Tongue

Cat is curled up on the winter liner for Hubby's jacket and she has all four paws in the air. She's so adorable! Cheesy

Yeah, only one person is gonna be surprised!  Smiley

I got fed up with looking for the tack hammer so I put the padding on the ironing board with the regular hammer. I didn't escape unscathed though. The center (longest) leg fell on my hand as I was working at the very end. I expect to have a very nice bruise on my left hand before too much longer. But. At least I can move on to the next part -- the cover that I will actually iron on.
