1. Reader...thought your kid wasn't at IMEA! We were there. 2. I saw my old high school band director from 1977. What shock! 3. My colleagues like to go out to eat late at night at the conference. You know, you just can't enjoy your 27 dollar dinner when you are falling asleep on your plate. 4. The governor SIGNED the papers to release $800,000 for the equipment for our new building! Half of it is for pianos! I think half of what is left is for recording equipment and stereos. The rest is for cabinets, bookcases, desks, file cabinets, etc. It won't take long to spend that, even at the discount bid rate. 5. I now have to inventory all of the music ed equipment and figure out what kinds of cabinets we will need, as the old ones are dented, dinged, ugly and the wrong size for the equipment. 6. All I really want is a CD player that will tell you when it is on, and will indicate which track you are on. AND have a button to push to change tracks. I can't play anything but tracks one and two right now without guessing where the CD is. This old one needs to go to the dump! (Along with most of the rest of our old equipment!) 7. Reader...I think that we have a better bassoon teacher here at SIU! 8. Can't wait to see bunches of you on Saturday! WHOO HOO! (BY the way, if anyone is going to PEORIA...DON"T go on HWY 24 into town through the industrial ghetto! BLECH!)

1. Hi Everyone! 2. Vacanick, did you enjoy the crop? We had a crop last night at the store from 7 to midnight. Lots of fun! 3. I am so excited. DD and I are going to the CHA show in Atlanta in 2 weeks. 4. DH and I saw Hide and Seek tonight. It was okay. Not as scary as I thought it would be. 5. Lots of exciting things happening with people here. Will enjoy reading about the Texas gathering! And Spy's big day is soon! 6. Hope everyone that is not feeling well will improve soon! 7. I have finished reading Joanne Fluke's murder mysteries. I think I have read them all except The Sugar Cookie Murder. 8. I wished that I baked and would make some of her recipes, but I do not need to eat all those cookies! 9. Everyone keep warm!

8.12 Ellie is at home. I pay a student to feed her. Actually she is probably hiding under the house in the crawlspace, as it is snowing and she is a little "scardy-cat" with the snow! Hope she isn't too ticked at me...I've only been gone for four days or so!

THAT was my DS!! 1.113 So he didnt get in IMEA for his solo, or anything, but his director brought the quintet for something or other... 1.114 DS was very excited trying to tell me about everything 1.115 I've been on that road in Peoria btw!! I know whatcha mean!!

1. i did go walk on the treadmill yesterday. i like going as fast as i can stand and getting my heart rate up high because it burns so many calories (and points) i love that! 2. i thought i had lost my membership card to the fitness center, and looked through their box of cards people have left/lost there. mine wasn't in there, but a guy i work with (and sit with everyday at lunch), well his card was in there. lol. i'll have to tell him. 3. i'd forgotten that i put mine in my bug sunglass holder on the visor of my car...so i could see it, and not lose it. lol, it's so dreary around here lately that i haven't needed the visor down. i'm just glad i found it, beacause a replacement costs $10.66!!!!! all for a stupid plastic card! 4. the restaurant last night was so good! i had the chicken with linguini and veggies. the chicken is stuffed with goat cheese and bacon! OMG, it is heavenly. also they have the best salad! it has craisins (cranberries) and they are SO GOOD! i hate raisins, though! 5. after that we went out to the bar for a bit. i was pretty well-behaved since i had a hangover on friday morning. 6. i tried a new smirnoff twisted flavor....black cherry. it was good! it tastest like creme soda. and it didn't have as much of a bite to it as the other twisteds do. 6. i'm at my mom's right now, and it's nice to be using a pc, rather than webtv. it's not even fast, but it's a heck of a lot better than the webtv. 7. i got a free ebony magazine subscription through that fashion show i went to back at the beginning of december. i get one like every other day it seems like. that's kinda funny. 8. this will only be a 3-day work week for me, and then i am texas-bound! woo hoo! 10. they were wanting to do 4 ten hour shifts again this week...i would've had to do 2 twelve hour shifts if i wasn't going to use a vacation day.

1. Wow, I haven't been here in so long, I feel like a stranger. 2. I had a really hard time with my back but I am doing much better now. I will always have problems but at least the pain management doctors have got me up and moving. 3. Since Jbean went crazy and totally skipped the number 9, I'll do 10. 4. DH and I have been very busy at the tanning salon getting ready for tanning season. 5. I have even managed to get in and work on my tan. I was ghost-like white. 6. My Mom gave me a manicure, pedicure, facial and massage for my birthday last October. I am so proud that I haven't bit my nails since. 7. My gift ended up being free. She scheduled it for November when we went to the Casino. When she checked out, they told her it was comped. 8. We have been going to the Casino alot lately. So much that we have a Casino Host. His job is to make us happy. 9. On our last visit, we had a suite on one of floors that you have to have a special key to make the elevator get to it. 10. We stay at the Hollywood Casino, and the way we were treated last time, I felt like a "STAR". We had a maid come in and turn our beds down and put chocolates on the pillows. All our meals were free including room service. I also got to visit the spa again for free. We called our host again the other day and scheduled another visit. I am glad to be back. And thankyou to Jbean, Herc, Strawberry and Lucy who actually noticed I was gone and left a nice message in my folder. Love you guys!!

1. Hi, Kady! Glad you're doing better! I had 2 good days with my back and now--a bad day today, coupled with a headache (having to wear my sleep mask to ward off the cheerful sunlight).

1. The ice storm that hit the southeast prohibited my wedding planner from coming in yesterday. Apparently the two inches of ice on the runway of the Atlanta airport is somehow a danger. He won't be in until tomorrow. That was really bad news. 2. We managed to finish the wedding programs today (240 of those suckers). They are all printed with hand colored roses on the front, a ribbon laced through the top, and folded. That took 4 people about 9 hours to complete. 3. Still no centerpieces. <sigh>

1. The weather is the only thing right now that seems to be cooperating. 2. I am glad about that, without a doubt. 3. Reader, by the time Wednesday night rolls around, I am absolutely checking out of the wedding planning. 4. At that point, it is no longer my concern and I don't give a rat's be-hind if it gets done or not. 5. I will not be stressed or worried about stuff after sundown Wednesday. My entire objective becomes enjoying the time with family and friends.

5.2 Great to hear that you are going to leave all the stress behind Spy. The one thing that so many brides forget to do is actually sit back and enjoy "their day" I cannot wait for reports and pictures from the tvchers that are attending your big day.

5.3 I used to work at a bridal salon, and man, brides don't have it easy on their wedding day. Tons of running around, picking up the dress, going to the hairdressers, where is my fiancee right now, are all the guys going to be dressed properly, who is picking up the table cameras, who is doing various errands. I learned early that I would probably want to elope. Or have a 4 person ceremony. 5.4 Spygirl, it is YOUR DAY. Enjoy every minute of it, but without caring too much about anything too petty. Remember it is your one big day to truly celebrate, share, and profess your love to your fiancee. Try to avoid letting petty things interfere with what the day is REALLY supposed to be about. It sounds like you are on the right track. Have an amazing weekend!! Congratulations.

1. Spygirl's outlook is so positive. Enjoy your wonderful day!!! 2. MIL, BIL, and SIL came over for dinner yesterday. Lots of drama going on between BIL and SIL. We had hoped they would be able to work things out. That did NOT happen 3. I'm supposed to be grading tests right now. I'm just not in the mood. 4. DH is waiting for some important mail today. I hope it comes so he can finally relax! 5. Today really feels like a Monday. I should have made the time to stop for coffee. 6. Have a great day TVCH.

1. Happy Monday Everyone!!! 2. I feel great today. I think my new c-pap machine that I have for my sleep apnea is really helping. 3. For some stupid reason, some of my numbers don't work and I can't make the little symbols above them. I really miss making my dollar sign. 4. I just got through ordering Wonderfalls on DVD. That was such a good show and I hate the fact it was cancelled after only a couple of episodes. 5. I wanted to order more tv series but some of the stuff I wanted was very expensive. 6. Azriel called from Singapore last night and we talked for about 2 hours. We had alot to catch up on. 7. Well I am off to work...I plan on having a wonderful day. I hope all of you do too!!!

1.Good morning everyone and Kady. 2.When I first saw Kady's #2 post I thought to myself that your c-pap should be kept between you and your gynecologist. 3. Get a new keyboard, Kady. 4. I enjoyed yacking with Kady last night...ermm well this morning for me. 5. Kady picked up my wedding dress and it's in the mail on the way to me right now. woot! 6. We okayed the proofs on our invitations today and the printer is going to start printing them. 7. We heard from the officials in the Hague and the kazillion documents we sent in for our wedding papers are all in order and we got our license! Take note - getting married in another country is a big hassle. 8. I'm off to bed. Have a great day everyone!

1. Still no wedding planner here. 2. Delta had the brilliant idea to overbook today based on all the cancellations and delays this weekend. 3. So now, he won't be here until 10am tomorrow. 4. We just talked on the phone for about 1/2 hour and the details are working themselves out for the most part. 5. However, we're facing a no-silverware issue because the vendor changed directors and we didn't have a signed contract for the silverware. 6. We didn't have a contract b/c the old director was a friend of ours. The new director apparently doesn't much care for the 'buddy system' rental agreements. 7. I certainly didn't mind serving on those heavy clear plastic plates, but I really wanted to use real silverware instead of the plastic. 8. I also wanted to win the lottery, but that clearly ain't happening - lol. 9. I had the first glimmer of excitement during my conversation with the planner, though, when I realized what all we have accomplished. I am now, for the first time, optimistic that it will work out.
