1. Wish Mom was taking me too. Disney is my favorite place on earth. 2. Hermione you may be on to something. You might want to fit your workout in earlier. It is not unusual for your sleep to be disturbed if you rev up too late. As for the "true confessions" ... you are who you are. It is good that you are comfortable being upfront. And yes you do help others a great deal. 3. I really need to get some work done. My boss just sent me an email titled an interesting challenge. How cute is he?

1. Well, whaddaya know - I finally got to meet Larry Bird last night. Well, my cousin did, I didn't bother the man; 2. Colossus was working late, and gave me his credit card to treat my cousin and I to whatever we wanted to do last night. We could have bought new furniture for Cousin's house, but instead had dinner and arranged to meet Colossus at a small martini bar after he got out of work; 3. So Colossus wanders in while we're getting chatted up by some guys who apparently had followed us over from Champps, I look behind him squinting and say "is that Larry Bird coming through the door?" Sure enough, he and his buddy sit right down next to us. He's not that imposingly tall in person, but man he's got a big damned neck; 4. Cousin decided to get an autograph for her godson, which Bird gave her while asking for no pictures (no problem there), and Cousin was the happiest camper you've ever seen. Then we partied on, leaving before he did. Weird how things happen - it never occurred to me getting up yesterday morning that by the end of the day I'd be having cocktails with one of the greatest gods the NBA has ever produced. LOL.

1. Larry Bird is really nice about autographs, especially for kids. I was sitting two seats from him at 6am in the Indy airport several years ago. Even at that hour he was nice to the kids. 2. I have students working for me now, but am stressed out because I think that EVERYTHING has to be done when I leave in 90 minutes. ACKK!KKKK!!!!! 3. My office is STILL a rip-snorting mess. Bookcases are done, curtains are down, nameplate off, bulletin boards done. Desk: Half done Files: 11 drawers to go and that will be HUGE, Table and under the pianos: well, were making headway, but there are miles to go before I sleep. 4. The trash can is my new best friend. The trash can is my new best friend. The trash can is my new best friend. 5. I am now without TV for eight days. Keep me entertained, TVCH friends!

1. I've got the movin' blues 2. Moving stuff back in at work and moving out of one home into another 3. I really hate packing ... We've accumulated so much junk, sheesh 4. I know I will be happy once it is over, but ... 5. Saturday my DD has a basketball tournament in Austin, and my DS#1 flies back to SC 6.

1. I gave my two week notice at work yesterday! 2. I have been so sick off and on all month and on Saturday I came down with strep throat! Yuck! 3. Went to work anyway like the champ I am-all upidy on the meds-like the nut I am 4. But "Big Daddy" as he is affectionately known to us ladies (the boss), insisted that I go home and also take Wednesday off with the promise of returning for some overtime on Thurs/Fri. I thought it was a pretty sweet deal.... 5. So here I am at 9:27 just barely waking up, wishing I had thought this thru and bought some coffee yesterday! Grrrr....who wants to go to Starbucks on a day off? Pooey 6. I plan on relaxing this morning, catching up on the TiVo, playing some games with the DD then tackling the house. 7. I am so thrilled I get to be a stay at home momma again! 2 weeks and counting!

1. My syllabus preparation went nowhere yesterday because I ended up talking to another instructor with whom I work every summer and we tossed around ideas so we can bring out classes together a few times in the program. 2. It's this special program for "underrepresented" kids at my university and we have to teach two hours a day/ five days a week. It doesn't sound like much, but it feels like it. 3. To top it off, our classes are conjoined to a psychology class, so we try to make our classes work thematically with the psych stuff. Happily, it's "community psychology," which seems more like sociology than like what I construe as legitimate psychology, so it doesn't seem too far afield. 4. We think we are going to show some documentaries and "regular" films, even though I'm hesitant about it. 5. This class is hard to organize because I have to meet so many demands: improved writing, increased analytic skills, synthesis with the psychology course, and an active role as a "mentor" to the students. 6. I don't know how I've done it so many times before. But the kids are great because they have worked hard in community colleges before getting to me. And many are the first in their family to go to college. 7. Unfortunately, I spend so much time with them, including in individual and group tutoring sessions, that it becomes frustrating when I can't "get through" to some students. 8. Now I have to finish off my syllabus draft and get feedback. Maybe I can make some new power point presentations for it, too, after I send an email to Iraq.

1. I can do 9. Had a great day yesterday! I had lunch with a good friend from work and we had the best time. She is one of those friends I can be both silly and serious with. 2. We started dissecting children's shows. I'm not sure what started us on that. I think it was her giving me grief over my Sponge Bob tongue stud. Yes, that was it, she was like, "You do NOT have Sponge Bob in your mouth!!!" 3. From there we moved on to the Power Puff Girls, the Teletubbies, and the Wiggles. One of my nieces saw the Wiggles in concert earlier this year. 4. We were joking that it would be hard to sleep with a man who did that for a living. It would be hard to get the image of him dancing around singing "Quack, quack, quack, quack, -a-doodle doo!" out of your head. 5. My friend wondered if they make the same noises when they are having sex. ROFL. Maybe you had to be there.
6. Then I made a surprise visit to my nephew and we played Super Mario World for a couple of hours. I was Luigi and he was Mario. We battled the Blurps, Boos, and Koopas and made a good team. 7. He had a loose tooth. He has started to lose his baby teeth. This was #5. Every time it was my turn to play, he would sit back and wiggle that tooth. Finally I told him, if you get that tooth out before I leave, I'll give you $5. Three seconds later he handed me the tooth!!! 8. It was a nice afternoon. When it was time for me to go, neither he nor my niece (the other one, not the Wiggle concert one!) wanted to let me out the door. 9. She is almost 2 years old. She kept body diving off a chair onto me and then she wrapped her legs and arms around my waist and started chanting, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" while my nephew attached himself to my side and pleaded, "Don't goooo!" 9.592 My sister had to pry them off me and then they all waved goodbye from the porch as I drove off. I only live 5 minutes away! It is nice to be so loved.

1. The phone call came. DS is getting the tuition scholarship (even tho he basically flunked out!) The organization is The American Hearing Impaired Hockey Association (AHIHA The founder (going strong at 80+ btw!) Thanks Pamy - remember the Christmas donation program we had? Pamy got us, and donated to AHIHA!! 2. The founder also is sending us to an audiologist and plans to see if DS can get hearing aides... the aides cost more than the tuition btw! (and as such he hasnt had any for years, combined with I've been afraid he'd lose them!) 3. I have goosebumps and tears in my eyes! 4. We leave for that magical place at 4:30AM - and now I dont have to worry about skipping on a bill or two to pay for the tuition (do I have misplaced priorities or what?!) 5. I called the Poly to confirm all the bills have been paid etc, and to make sure our 25th anniversary is noted on the reservation!! (I dont think we'll make it to 50! I;m getting old fast!) 6. I've hated the color my hair turned out, I watched Ozzy osborne and Sharon, and thought ewww My hair is close to that color, so I changed it again - still too dark, but not so red!! 7. Oprah had makeovers on, and Supercuts is working with her, so if you go to HERE click on Oprah, and fill out your area code (funny they wouldnt take my ZIP CODE!! *duh) et el, you get a 50% of coupon for a haircut - at the location you chose from your area code list!! 8. I forgot I need motion sickness medication... I hope to be able to find crystalized ginger TODAY! 9. Dh is working 12 hour days to get the time off, I may have to pack for him!! I'll kidnap him if I have to! 10. The Department store is having 80% off on swimsuits, but I hate putting my body in a suit - I tried my old one on last night... in the words of Holly "ewwwwwwwww!" I am fat, white, and bumpy all over!! ROFLOL!!!

1. The Wiggles are scary! 2. My neighbor dropped off the six page petition he needs typed up for the bus people. Since he did all the research into the stuff that needed to be listed (extreme temps -heat in the spring, summer, and fall, and cold in the winter, accidents at the major intersections, number of families that rely on the bus, etc.) I figure I can type it.

1. I'm off work today! Yippee! I promised myself I would do laundry and even hang some things outside to dry...but it's too dang hot and humid. So, I'm sitting here reading TVCH and listening to BB instead! 2. On Saturday I'm going to a 50th Anniversary party for my fiance's aunt and uncle. Supposedly there's going to be lots of family there, maybe 6 of which I've actually met previously. Future-mother-in-law tells me a lot of people are anxious to meet me...dear God, give me strength to get through it! 3. I'm meeting EGGIE on Monday!
