1. I had a lightening strike (I think) this morning, and now things are haywire. My computer doesn't think that it has an internal modem (well, maybe it DOESN'T anymore...and it's only three weeks old). My phones will make one call and then need to be reset by pulling the cord from the phone jack, which is ANNOYING because I live in "BOXVILLE", and I have a circuit that is out....it contains the outlets for the fridge, and the overhead lights for the dining room and kitchen. I reset all the circuit breakers and still NO DICE>

2. One of my colleagues came over and did the same thing I did with the circuit breakers and said "Well, one of them is a little loose, but I don't know what to do"...he DID have me plug the fridge into a different outlet that WORKS....How dumb could I be!

3. Called my brother the electrician and he says that my phones are wierd and that I need a circuit breaker replaced. CRAP, I just rewired the entire HOUSE not even 5 years ago.

4. I was supposed to sell this house tomorrow, but it got pushed back. DOUBLE CRAP!

5. In our little town, no one advertises, so I don't even know who to call to replace a circuit breaker. I am leaving in the morning for Illinois for nine days. I hope that the house doesn't burn down. Maybe I should take the valuables with me. TRIPLE CRAP!!!

Guess I won't be online tonight!

1. Ack Marm, that sucks! Any chance the elctrician brother can help? And I'm sorry to hear the sale is pushed back.

2. I have spent all day doing laundry. I hate laundry. I really really do. Usually I don't do it til the evening and end up having it stacked up because of our electric bill. Since we're leaving town this weekend, I figured I'd better get on it, so not only am I washing the regular clothes, but all the sheets, towels, blankets and the comforters.

3. Mom hasn't decided yet rather she's going to stay here with the kids while we're gone or take them to her house. She said she knows the kids are more comfortable here at home for more than a night or two, but she doesn't like to leave my elderly aunt alone either.

4. Since I watched my nieces Friday night, sis watched the kids Saturday night. We went out to a nice dinner. Halfway through it I started to feel lousy (muscle aches, chills, stuffy head.) We were going to go to the movies afterwards, instead we came home and Darren had to run and buy me cold medicine.

5. I slept for about 18 hours. I have no idea when he picked the kids up, all I know is I fell asleep they weren't home and when I woke up they were. So much for date night, lol.

6. I'm still not feeling great, but better than yesterday. I've had bouts of energy, followed by sitting down for long periods of time. All in all I'd much rather be sick now than next week!

1. DANG....Apple will need my new PowerBook for a week to replace/repair the modem...I'll have to do with my "Taped together" one tonight and then go cold turkey on the trip, as my taped together one has a sliced power cable.

2. OH WELL, that will be a good time to fix it, when I'm at a conference, and travelling.

3. My classes that I was going to teach in Pittsburgh at the end of the month were cancelled. Now I can make a WHOLE research conference and pack for two more days before the van comes.

4. I am losing things like crazy!

5. I talked to my niece today. She recognized my voice and called me by name right away. They don't have caller ID, so I thought that that was incredible.

6. My brother is in Illinois so will be no help to me with the circuit breaker.....he's having fun playing with water balloons with his kids.

7. That sounds like fun and I wish that I were there with them.....but I will be there tomorrow night. I'm going to leave early so that I can watch Amazing Race and Big Brother. I'll stop by Indy to drop off the computer at the Apple Store and I need to take a box of albums to Bloomington. Packing the wine and candles this trip....sounds romantic! HA HA HA!!!

01. I called the Dentist at 11:50AM to let them know I would be 15 minutes late for my 12:30PM appointment since it was 107, so I was going to catch the bus.

02. They said that was fine.

03. I get there at 12:45PM, and discover that my dentist's 12:00PM patients are still in the waiting area.

04. I finally get called back at 1:50PM and I'm done at 2:15PM; I walk out to the bus stop...it's 110.

05. I get off the bus and go to Smiths to get soda and juices and start walking home...it's 112-degrees.

06. Two people headed for the swimming pool run into me like 5000 yards from my building and take my bags and coach my breathing.

07. They get me home--and won't accept money, water, or any tangible thanks--as we all ponder the sudden sirens we hear go from one side of the street to the other.

08. I later learn that a mom has left her 9YO son and 2YO daughter locked in a vehicle, so she can shop for 10 minutes at a store across the street from our complex (hence the sirens); she's asked to leave by the employees and bring the children in, so she leaves the store in a huff; she goes out to the car, and it won't start, so she leaves the car again. When she returns 20 minutes later with a bucket of gas, Metro and the paramedics have the kids out of the car, cooled off, and on their way to child haven until mom's suitability can be determined...

1) Well, it was officially announced today that I got my new job! My group is sad, but still happy for me.

2) Our manager also got a promotion; that takes two of us out of the office on August 1.

3) Have to give a presentation tomorrow per my new boss. To new employees about what it takes to be successful in my "old" role.

4) Made lots of notes, but I still feel intimidated.

5) I've decided I have very low self esteem.

6) I know I am good at what I do, but I worry about "fitting in" with my new peers.

7) That part is making me sick at my stomach!

8) Sorry about your electrical problems, Marm. And say "Hi" to Pittsburgh for me. I was born and raised there! GO STEELERS!

9) ACK! Lk beat me to 8.........so, I'll wish everyone a very nice tomorrow!

1. I had kind of an exciting day at work today. Some of you may remember that a co-worker of mine was in Iraq for a year. She returned to work tonight! It was so good to see her again :-)

2. There's another girl I work with who's now dating a guy that this other girl was really good friends with before she left for the war. I think she's a bit jealous or whatever- maybe insecure- with this other girl being back. She's never met her or talked to her but she kept making snotty little comments about her.

3. I didn't like that.

4. Anyway- it was a good weekend. Tim and I went to his parents house on Saturday. He did his dad's brakes and we sat around and had lunch. Nothing all that exciting but it was fun.

5. Later that night Tim and I went for dinner at one of my favorite resturaunts: Koreana. I had my Korean Tofu Barbecue and Tim had his sushi rolls. I LOVE wasabi :-) That place is great- and they serve this barley tea that I absolutely love.

6. I let Tim open his birthday presents Saturday even though his birthday was Sunday. It started as being "just one' but neither of us have any self control. LOL

7. I ened up returning the electric razor a few weeks ago because he guessed what his present was and I am terrible at pretending he was wrong. I ended up showing him the gift he could have had and returning it the next day. I got him a new tent instead, a new Wisconsin Atlas/Gazeteer book (those DeLorme ones), Pink Floyd's The Wall DVD (I sold my VHS copy a few years ago on Half.com), and I bought him a brick with his name on it at the public library.

8. Sunday was my dad's birthday too- weird, eh? I called him and we talked for awhile about nothing like we always do :-)

9. Later Tim and I went and had lunch at another of my favorite resturaunts: Victoria's. I had my favorite Fettucini Florentine and he has his Marco Polo Chicken.

10. We were stuffed afterwards so we went for a four mile walk then rented The Butterfly Effect, which we both liked a lot. The end :-)

1. Hi Everyone. I know this doesn't top GAL's romantic uncle, but Egbob got home after being gone for the last 4 days and he gave me a big wet one and some roses!!

2. He's taking me out to dinner but he has to watch the Homerun Derby first. I'm hungry.

1. Hey folks! Just thought I'd briefly check in. I got home from RGs on Friday and left for Texas on Saturday...got home Sunday night. Flyboy met the entire family and they love him! Yay!

2. I got sick at RGs last week and had to go to the doctor up there. I had an infection in my ears and now it has spread. I now have head and chest congestion and am heading back to the doctor in the morning.

3. I leave for Reno for a summitt on Thursday. I then fly from there to Las Vegas to meet up with the TVCH gang on Saturday. Flyboy gets to go, too! Yay!

3.1 My house is cruising along. No idea if it will be finished, but the close is scheduled for 2 weeks from tomorrow. We'll see!

01. PuppyLove: ITA. I honestly don't think I would have made it as I was just blindly putting one foot in front of the other.

02. It took me a good two hours to cool down/off from that trip.

03. DH and I are still tossing new abode plans; even after we finish the bankruptcy (joys of not having permanent non-hourly employment for 6 years and way too many medical bills and $17K on our old house), and he has a permanent job, I don't see us being approved for a mortgage.

04. So, I'm thinking 3 bedroom apartment (yea for exchange rates since DH's potential salary at 3 of the 4 potential places are paying in US dollars!) and he's thinking 3 bedroom house with a greenhouse.

Thank heavens right now it's just pondering discussion!

1. The other night hubby came home from work with a bouquet of flowers for me for NO reason!! What a guy!
2. I might have some really exciting news soon but I don't want to jinx it so this is just a tease.hehehe
3. ACK! Marm, could you be having anymore trouble????
4. My friend, Chris's wife is back in the hospital, thank goodness. Hopefully they will keep her there until she gets psychiatric and med help she needs so badly.
5. Stupid me. My friend Chris and my friend Cheryl, who each used to come see me all the time are now friends again thanks to me and now I don't see either one of them!!! I try to be nice and get them to be friends again after they had a falling out a few years ago and this is what I get! I still have no phone and except for Tues and Weds I'm home alone and I'm lonely and isolated!!! WAAAAA sorry for the whining

1. Wanting to know Twinkie's news. I hope whatever it is works out for you like you want!

2. We're having a severe t-storm warning right now with 60+ mph winds and hail on its way.

3. I love storms, but I like them better on weekends and at night. I have to leave for work around the time this storm should be getting here.

4. Yeah, I could leave early but there's a different storm down by where I work coming soon too. Makes me want to call in.

5. I'm sleepy.

6. I think it's the weather- it's humid, warm, and been cloudy for a few days now.

1. Just finished a wonderful day reading the board for the first time in months.

2. Happily said goodbye to my son's sleepover friend who had been camped here for 6 days...I was getting worried he was permnamently staying when I started doing his laundry too.

3. Made time this afternoon to have coffee with a friend. Her life has been as busy as mine so she didn't seem to mind that I couldn't remember what she took in her coffee, its been that long.

4. Saw the dress my mother has purchased for my cousin's wedding in August. Now I have an excuse to go shopping tomorrow.

5. Made an appointment to have the massage which was my mother's day present from dh. I figure I'll need it after all that shopping.

6. Everyone of my rose bushes are in full bloom and the rainbow of colours are wonderful....and not a bug to be found!

7. Counting the minutes until bb5 is on and feeling glad that the feeds are so good this year because $29.95 is alot of money to pay to watch those hamsters.

1. Today I spent mostly doing a "War" dance

2. Wargod inspired me to clean every nook and cranny of my house

3. With the exception of the laundry

4. Maybe I should send my laundry to GAL

5. My 2 year old baby granddaughter called me today and stayed on our phone's answering machine for quite a while before her mother discovered she was playing with the cell phone and hung it up.

6. I don't think she knows granddaughter used up several minutes of units

7. I tried to pick up and talk to her but the dear sweetheart wasn't answering!

8. I also tried to call back, but there was no answer

1. Tonight I was on my way to pick up my scripts at Walgreens and a 17 year old girl ran a stop sign and plowed into my passenger side all the way down the whole side.
2. I told the police officer I wasn't hurt and at the time I didn't think I was.
3. It wasn't until I got home that I realized it hurt my back which was already a pre-existing condition of disc degeneration.
4. Now I don't know who to report it to. The police? My doctor? The insurance company?
5. Thank goodness the car is drivable, just can't open the front or back passenger side doors.
6. Good thing it is driveable since hubby has to make a 3 hour drive tomorrow morning to interview for a promotion with his current company.
7. Thank goodness I have plenty of pain pills so right now I'm a little goofy but at least not in pain.
8. I felt so sorry for the teenage girl because she was crying so hard that I kept holding her and patting her and even got her laughing.
9. She could be my grandchild so my heart went out to her. I told her that her parents might be mad for a little while but they will be more relieved that she wasn't hurt. I said a car can be fixed but there's only one you so instead of being scared and upset be grateful you are alive and well and from now on you will always be much more careful. I told her it was actually an easy lesson she learned. It wasn't until I got home that I was shaking like a leaf and in pain. But I am also thankful I'm alive.

01. Twinkie: Definitely call and place an addendum to the police report and call the insurance company.

02. Remember, a PI attorney will likely get you 3x the medical bills. I am SOOOO glad you are safe!

03. The update is up.

04. An 8-month-old baby died in a fire tonight; dad had gone out to get cigarettes while the uncle was sleeping. The power had been shut-off, so candles were providing light; something caught fire, and uncle woke up and got out--not knowing the baby was home. Honestly, I wish it were a law that households with children under 3 could not have their electricity shut off for non-payment--especially in the summer.

05. I've been trying to keep up with BB5, but man, I don't think it's possible.

06. I just wish Punk were feeling better.

07. Actually, I wish I were feeling better.

08. I have to get things together and get the house clean.

09. But when it hurts to move, HOW do you do clean, declutter, and otherwise accomplish things?

10. ::sigh:: I wish I could wave my wand and make everything right with the world.

1. {{HUGS}} Twinkie! (Lance be careful a schtickler may come around! lol at your numberings!!)

2. YEAH Grace! I thought that was a joke!! you know, "when pigs fly"!! I just got another email from Frontier Village in TX, I get the key to go in my gggrandma's house, not just the "public" viewing rooms!!

3. Keep me in your thoughts, make sure I get caught up on all the info (I'm going to hate that most of all, in BB there was a fight and a reveal! I hate being out of the loop!) I'm driving 6 hours north into WI (very little traffic compared to going into IN!) to see DS, and Boy Scout Camp... Doctor from clinic called to say she saw Ry, and then put out the disclaimer "not that I need your permission..." ooookay!! But she knows the camp isnt good at communicating with parents (NO KIDDING!) and the boys dont ever call (not even when told to!!) She feels he'll need further treatment, and if she had known the history i gave her, she would've given further treatment! Uggg!! Why do I sit by the phone waiting for it to ring? DS called, and went to get the list of things he HA TO HAVE... at midnight I gave up and went to bed, he never called back!! Scum kid, wonder who his parents are... "never mind"!! (*grin)
