1. i hate seafood. i know, very strange, but i do.

2. yesterday i had to have one of my car tires patched. i have the worst luck with tires.

3. while i was waiting for the automotive dept at walmart to fix my tire, that gave me too much free time to wander around. i came home with 2 new dvds....beaches (the best sad movie ever, imho), and 9 to 5. i LOVE that movie. watched it last night before going out as a matter of fact. always makes me laugh til i cry!

4. the whole going out with my former co-worker and friend didn't exactly work out. i am worried she may be unhappy with me, but things happen.

5. i was disappointed that bridget jones the edge of reason didn't come out everywhere this weekend. :-( i'm so excited to see it...but not as excited as i am about seeing keith urban.

6. countdown to keith urban: 4 days! woo hoo!

6.1 Thanks, Mamie! Sounds as if you did, too! I wish I were half the cook that it sounds like your brother is!! What a treat!

6.2 Jbean, I understand about fish. My dh and ds won't eat seafood, either (except for shrimp and crabs). I don't care for any fish that tastes 'fishy,' btw. Ever tried tuna? It tastes like steak to me! (I do like mine 'cooked'! Chefs prefer to prepare it on the rare side, and I can't eat it that way. Never was a fan of sushi, either.)

1. I'm home! WHEW!

2. I'm trying to find two research books that I need, but no luck and I went through about 50 boxes!

3. Cat was very forgiving, and hungry...of course!

4. I'm going to be jet lagged tomorrow, I'm sure.

5. I leave for Munich on Wednesday. That will be fun, once I get there.

6. I also love books, but rarely have time to read for "fun". I read mostly non-fiction that is work related.

7. I always listen to movies, since I'm usually reading or typing while they are on. Boy, am I surprised when I actually watch and catch some visual cues that change the movie.

8. It's a little chilly here today.

1. This was a good weekend!

2. Me and the kids cleaned out their toys and books Friday. I can't believe how much we got rid of!

3. I went on a huge cleaning spree this weekend. Everything that could be cleaned has been cleaned.

4. Inside, outside, it's all cleaned. It feels great to have it all done. Life has been so hectic and stressfull the last couple of months, and just seeing this week starting out on a good note has put me into a terrific mood.

5. We finished Dakota's disguise the turkey project. In case anyone's confused, lol, she got a cut out turkey last week. Our assignment (it was afamily project) was to disguise the turkey so he wouldn't be eaten for Thanksgiving dinner. We disguised him as a winter princess. He's now wearing a pretty blue jacket with matching hat and bots, lol. Even has pretty little silver bows on his tail. She is quite proud of it.

6. Caleb made good project on his marine life project.

7. Had family day today. Watched a couple movies with the kids, played, and just had a nice time. Nothing too exciting (which is probably a good thing compared to last weekend!) Sometimes its just nice to have a quiet weekend.

8. Darren finds out about his interview this week. I know he's nervous but he's really not showing it at all. If they don't hurry up and get back to him, I may climb out of my skin from nerves!

9. He's only got 6 days til he's off work for two weeks. LOL, I know I have posted this several times recently but I'm very excited. He's been working his butt off this year. Most weeks are 6 day, 10-12 hour day weeks. It will be nice to have him home, to be able to spend time with him, and more important for him to have time to relax and rest for awhile.

1. I'm home after being gone since Friday afternoon. I went to Oklahoma City for the Quarter Horse Championship and had a great time.

2. I am not a fan of rodeos, but horse shows are okay. I did, unfortunately, have to sit through the "working cow horse" portion, which includes not only a display of the horse responding to lead changes (which is wonderful to see!!), but it also includes a display of cutting abilities.

3. I like watching the cutting horses when they do teaming, but in this event, they bring the calf out alone - not with the herd still in the corner, so the poor thing tries to get back through the gate where it knows the herd is, and I hate it. Sometimes they run full force into the metal gate. <sigh>

4. This "girl's weekend out" is an annual event with this group of women. I believe they have been doing it yearly for close to a decade. Including Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, I slept about 15 hours.

5. This morning, I was so tired, I had it in my head that I had to be in the office by 10am for an all day meeting. Turns out, I was wrong.

6. So, I've been here for 2 hours returning emails and phone calls, reviewing my student's client files, reading TVCH, and wishing I was still in bed asleep. It is going to be a long day!

7. Outside, it is raining and chilly - not cold.

8. Other than the Scott Peterson verdict, I am completely clueless about what has been happening in the world since Friday.

9. This weekend will be busy, but at least I'll be home. I am trying to see how many people I can round up to help me address wedding invitations.

10. Have a great week!!

1. It is a very nice day here! I have the windows and door open, got the stereo going, and nothing to do til I go pick up the kids.

1.5 That's not quite true, lol. I do have a final project due for my class that I could be working on, but I have to await approval from my proffesor before I can really get to work on it.

2. I need to start thinking about what to do to celebrate our anniversary. It might also be a celebration if Darren gets good news about his interview. Not sure if I want to go out or if I'd rather have a quiet night at home.

1. War....I'll be pulling two (2) all-nighters the next two nights to get a grant app ready before I go to Munich...oh, and write a test, grade student work, pack, run off my overheads, etc. SIGH! I'll keep working if you keep working!

2. It's a beautiful day here! I just discovered that the campus is on wireless internet and I can access it from my office AND the Japanese garden outside my office! Too bad that I don't have time today to do so!

3. We are having debates in the grad class tonight. That should be fun (I hope!)

1. Oh NO Skootz! I hate strep! I hope you are all fixed up soon!!
2. Went out to a "rock" shop of a gal I met at the Craft Show. WOWSA! I could have stayed for days! She had some absolutely beautiful faceted Opals. A bit out my price range though....But we bartered a couple of things, I got stones, and am going to wrap some for her in exchange. A couple of them are going to be very difficult, but a fun challenge.
3. Jordan started Basketball practice today. I'm so glad he enjoys sports, because we sure enjoy watching him!
4. I'm feeling upbeat and happy today! YAY!
5. I'm making Cheese and Herb ravioli with sundried tomato and olive sauce, Baby spinach salad and cheesy garlic bread for supper. I'm starving!! lol!

1. LOL, Marm, kick in the butt to get me moving, huh? I'll work some more this evening on it.

2. It's actually a fairly simple project. I have to do a research paper without the paper, lol. I have to do the research, find good, usable websites, and do an annotated bibliography. Oh, and I have to find 20 good, usable sites!

3. I choose to do off road safety and laws in Ca. Not a thrilling subject, but with Caleb wanting a mini dirtbike I needed to research the topic anyways.

4. Skootz, ack on the throat. Strep is miserable.

5. I want to go to RG's for dinner, dangit. Sounds much better than what we're having.

6. I have to go pick the kids up from school in 15 minutes. I've been sitting here for the last thirty waiting to go. Yep, that seems like it's going to be the high point of my day, getting out of the house for a few minutes to go get them.

1. War, more of a kick in the butt to get me going. But I DO want to kick you into gear, too! It's a 20K grant and I have a good shot at it. The dean wants to see them by the 25th and I will be in Germany then. The real deadline is Dec. 1, so my plan of writing it while in Germany is out the window!

2. I'm going to the grocery store for caffeine and cat food.

3. Gas prices are going down here.

4. The debates in the grad class were great. They are really starting to think. I'm very happy with their progress.

5. I'm going to print overheads for the first time on my photo printer. Wish me luck!

6. Can't wait for Amazing Race tomorrow! WHOO HOO!

7. One of the AR threads said that Harry Smith and Dave Price from the Early Show ran the first leg and did all the challenges and they are showing it on the Early Show this week. Sounds like a blast!

.5 Marm, I may need that kick in the butt afterall! I have got nothing done tonight on my project.

1. So, I go to get the kids from school today and I see a boy walking home with his dog following him. Thought it was a shame he didn't have the pup on a leash, but the dog was being very good in following him and staying out of the street. When we got home, I saw the dog following the boy again. Only it was a different boy. I took Caleb and Kota outside to play and some of the neighborhood kids had caught the dog and borrowed a collar and leash from me. They gave me the dog (oh such a big mistake, I'm in love!) I fed and watered him while they went searching for the dogs owners. After an hour or so of searching they had come up empty so I called animal control.

2. I knew this dog wasn't a stray. He was so well behaved, very well groomed and fed, and very people friendly. He was thirsty as all heck but not too hungry, so I figured he'd been out for most of the day, but had been fed earlier. Poor Darren got home and I could see by the look in his eyes that he knew I wanted to keep him.

3. Animal control showed up a couple hours later. I made the guy promise they'd call me if they found the owners, cuz yep, I was ready to go get him if they didn't, lol. Two hours after animal control came, I got a phone call that the owners had found their pup. LOL, I'm still willing to take him, but I'm glad he found his way back home. I knew as soon as I saw him up close he wasn't a stray, someone loved him.

3.5 After that me and Caleb set down to work on his paper. He took a bunch of notes off the internet this weekend and I had the hardest time explaining to him why he had to put the info he got into his own words and that by changing "sea urchins" to "they" did not quite do that, lol. I don't believe in doing my childrens homework for them, but after tonight I can certainly understand why parents might, LOL.

Serate, glad hubby is home!
1. I woke up feeling kind of funky. I hope I'm not getting the flu bug. Just feel achy and tired and have a bit of a sore throat.
2. I DON'T HAVE TIME TO BE SICK!
3. They are pouring footings for the basement today.
4. If I don't start feeling better I'm going to lay on the couch all day reading People, watching trashy daytime and not feel guilty!!

1. I started a tvchracers league for TAR6 over at Realiiity....go join, even if you "suck". Name of league TVCHRacers, password TVCH

2. WAR.....I fell asleep last night. There is no way in hell that I'm going to get this grant done unless I can email it from Germany. I'm going to keep working on it, but cripes, I have to pack and make overheads today.

3. I have a "Getting acquainted" visit with my new doctor today. Just what I need at 3pm (so late in the day, I will probably be waiting in the lounge for a long time....maybe I could work on the grant then!)

4. Can't wait for Amazing Race! I will be glued to the TV during these two hours. I'll pack and print during commercials. HEY, we have to have our priorities!

5. Harry and Dave from the Early Show were hilarious in their segment about running a leg of the Amazing Race! Everyone should tune in!
