1. It's a fur'n'hair day at my house.

2. Oscar must be having some kind of allergy because he's pulled out/eaten away two patches of his fur since yesterday and so now I'll call him "Patches".

3. I'm going to go to the Pet Shop and ask for advice. If nothing can help him, then I'll take him to the Vet.

4. Now for my hair.

5. No, I don't have any patches where I chewed away my hair...

6. I went and had a clip'n'dip and now my hair is short'n'sassy and it's a dark brown.

7. Yes, Egbob definitely noticed when I walked into the house....he did a double take and asked me why I went brown. (I haven't come up with my answer yet because I'm letting it grow on me...and so far I'm liking the brown!)

1. Eggie, get some Sulfodene™ Anti-Itch Lotion for Dogs (+Cats) for Oscar. It's an odorless, non-geasy concentrated med to help heal the hot spots and it won't sting. Stops it fast and is a real comfort. My Jujukitty had it this year and she's healed and nearly had all her hair back in a month's time. You can get it at the grocery store, Wallyworld, Target, Pet shops, etc.

2. I am still not completely unpacked

3. My snail mail measured a foot tall when stacked up on the table

4. There were 257 emails and 23 phone messages waiting for me

5. 90% of #3 and #4 was junk

6. Bad news- my granddaughter has a tumor next to her pituitary gland

7. Good news- my #1ds is home from Hawaii

8. Good news- my #2 sister is staying with my #1 sister away from the path of what was hurricane Frances in south Georgia. My #3 sister is there too, for fun.

1. Today is DD FIRST day of School (hip hip hooray!!)

2. Last night was very stressful - NOBODY could sleep. DD finally fell asleep at 2AM! DS #1 finally came home at 3AM.

3. DS must've gotten a speeding ticket

4. I must NOT forget (this time) to take DS #2 to poditrist. His toe looks horrible!

5. I hope the sedation/freezing/numbing of his toe works this time.

6. One mom is trying to organize an after school gathering at our favorite place (not) CHUCK E CHEESE!!

7. School gets out at 10:30

8. I have nothing to do. If I was the perm. sub at dd school I would be there to help with all the little things that a pair of hands is good for... but I'm not, so I dont want to butt in.

9. DH could not find his camera. Now, I know how hard he looked, because there is junk all over from him looking. In every room... still no camera. I know he brought it home!

1. I heard from my family in Florida, and everyone is doing fine.

2. I had a great holiday weekend visiting with family and friends.

3. I'm home from work today.

4. I twisted my ankle this morning on my way to work.

5. I drove myself to Urgent Care in extreme pain (it's my right ankle.)

6. I had it checked out, and the doctor says it's not broken... just a bad sprain.

7. It's the size of a grapefruit right now, and hurts like hell.

8. I'll be off work for the next two days.

9. I guess I'll be catching up on all the shows I've recorded over the past week.

10. I should be able to clear out my dvr by the time I get out of here.

1. I was surprised at work today by a VERY elderly lady scraping and patching my wall in my office. Sounds like I will be getting paint fairly soon. It was good to see the old plaster repaired.

2. I am considering getting organized like the flylady.com site says to. I'm trying to organize my work office so that it is efficient. I think that I need to bring in a little table from home for the "pile" of papers/books that come in everyday.

3. Setting up file folders is not something that is easy for me to do, but I'm going to give it a try!

4. My re-LASIKed eye is scratchy and still a bit blurry. But it is better than before surgery.

5. I have bought an "everyday file and fast sorter" which has file dividers for 1-31 (days of the month) and one labeled for each month. Now I can stuff those flyers and reminders into an organizer and also track my travel info. It's worked for a week....hope I can keep it up.

I honestly don't know how someone (ok, myself) can be so blasted successful and have my career so well organized, but be such a clutterbug. It's embarrassing! I have my time organized, and that's about it!

1. I just got off the phone with DD, Mandy, and she is home and doing great and so is my little peanut, Sierra.

2. My flight is already booked. One way. I don't know how long I might be down there.

3. Mandy promises that as soon as hubby gets home she will have him email some pics of Sierra! I hope for some of mommy too cause that's MY baby!

4. I'm going to be at JFK in NY on the 14th from 2PM til 3:40PM so if any of you wonderful NYers would like to meet up please let me know! I'd love to see you guys!!

5. My DH really got hurt last Sunday moving the freezer. He heard a pop in his right arm and its getting worse everyday. Its not a broken bone but we think it might be a torn ligament. He's been putting off going to the doctor. I think he needs to go to the ER.

6. I want to go on vacation to Marm's house when I get back from Orlando! WOW WOW WOW is all I have to say! You live in paradise!

1. I'm heading to Atlanta tomorrow for a conference and will be there till Sunday.

2. If there are any TVCHers in the area, I'll have quite a bit of free time. :-)

3. There are some exciting developments on the house-front. Tomorrow, I'm having a well dug and Thursday and Friday, I'm getting a sprinkler system installed!

4. Flyboy and I decided that was a good decision for us rather than spending money on a high dollar honeymoon.

5. Unfortunately, that means no on the Poconos

6. Fortunately, that means we'll have a beautiful yard that will be virtually impossible for me to kill

7. At the conference this week, I will be presenting on my dissertation research. It is the first time I have presented on the actual results and I am very excited. I did part of the presentation for the faculty last week and it was very well received.

Have a great week/weekend!

7.4 Me thinks you two haven't seen the resorts and the rooms...and the all-inclusive packages! We both love snow skiing, and it is the honeymoon capital :-) It is moot, though, since we won't be going. :-(

7.5 I've been to the Poconos plenty, Spy (about an hour and a half drive for me due northeast). Yes, I've seen the resorts. The all-inclusive deals don't impress me, especially since I've seen some of these places. If it's a dream of your's to visit the Poconos, do it...just not on your honeymoon, trust me!

1. I'm really enjoying my dark brown hair!

2. It was fun walking into work and having the office staff crank their heads my way with double takes...

3. I'm getting lots of good feedback.

4. Well, from most. Egbob just walked by and asked me if I'll be lightening it up.

5. I think not....hee-hee!

6. Oh! Egbob and I bought a new laptop PC and I'm using it right now. It's kinda fun and I could get used to it over my home PC.

7. Gracie, thank you for suggesting the Sulfodene for Oscar. It's definitely helping!! Oscar thanks you too!!

8. Essence, I was sorry to read about your sprained ankle and I hope the swelling goes down soon.

1. Baby niece spent the day with me. She'd had two shots earlier today so part of the day she was grumpy, the other part she was drugged and happy.

2. Poor kid is probably totally traumatized. I laid her on the couch to change her diaper, reached over to grab a wipe out of the bag and she tumbled off. I managed to catch her before she hit the floor, though it was close. How'd I make up for it?

3. Getting her into her car seat, I managed to smack her head on the car. Then we got to the school and the kids wanted to show her off to all their friends.

4. Poor kids (all of them.) It was 100 degrees and by the time we got home all four of them were soaked. Mine came home and sat drinking water for about half an hour before they had energy to get up and moving. I noticed the neighbor girl was out floating in their pool within about 3 minutes of getting home!

5. Dakota came home today with spelling homework, math homework, and her weekly homework packet which had 14! pages of phonics. The packet is to be seperated Mon-Thurs which doesn't seem to bad, but when you add in the math and spelling, it's almost overwhelming. Poor kid was in tears by the time she was done (we had her do 3 pages of phonics plus the daily math and spelling work) and I have to admit I was damn near tears myself.

6. I'm hoping that it was just that she was in a hurry to finish so she could play with the baby. I'll give it another day, with no baby distraction, and if its that bad, I'm going to have to tell her teacher she won't be doing that much anymore. Daily math and spelling homework I understand, but she will turn 6 next week, and I'll be damned if I'm stressing my 6 year old out over homework!

7. On the plus side, the kids are going nuts (in a good way) trying to figure out where we're going for Dakota's birthday. They are both so excited about our mystery trip they can't stand it.

8. Yesterday we went nuts doing house stuff. It was the first time since Vegas that Darren had 2 days in a row off, so he attacked a list of stuff I've had for him. The washer no longer leaks, new blinds are hung in the kitchen and Caleb's room, the sprinklers in the front yard are fixed, and we had plenty of time to do family stuff with the kids.

9. Darren has gone insane. He's already working too much, but he has now signed up for a training program at work for management. He's pretty excited about it, even though it means he will be squeezing a couple classes into his already too busy work schedule.

1. Methinks that Spy needs to forgo the Poconos for the Honeymoon....try an all inclusive like Couples or Sandals in the Carribean! Even though I lived on the other side of PA, I went through the Poconos enough on my way to NYC. I agree with Froggie! Pretty, but NOT for a honeymoon! There is a big speedway there, too!

2. I had a meeting of local church musicians last night. Small groups, mostly older. It was nice to meet some new people. There were three people there that I already knew.

3. The grad student there asked me to be on his thesis committee....so far the count is three thesis committees for students who will be finished this year....at this rate I will pick up a new one every other week...LOL!

4. I got elected to the graduate advisory committee, and that should help in knowing the policies and procedures. I just love it when a student calls up and asks a question and I have to have them pick up a packet for me too, or just say that I don't know but I'll find out!

5. I have another faculty meeting at 8am, so at least I'll be able to get a parking place!

6. Ellie the cat was NOT happy that I got home so late last night....she was hungry. I wish that she were more of a lap cat, but she's not.

7. I have a great morning and evening routine established with the cat, the fish and the pool. WHEW! Now, I need to get a routine established with the other areas of my life.

8. Making two batches of triple layer mint brownies either today or tomorrow for the Friday department picnic for 250 people. I think that I will cut them small, and that should work.

9. There are lots of biting bugs here. ALL kinds of bugs. I've never lived far enough south that you actually HAD to have a contract with Terminex! I don't remember more than a few spiders and ants in PA...too cold for everything else.

10. I want to go on War's mystery trip! I LOVE mystery trips. Now that I live by myself, though, I haven't done a mystery trip....unless you count the "right or left" game. Oh, wait, I can't do that by myself either. (It's when the passenger decides right or left at each intersection).

Have a great day, everyone!

1. I'm tired;

1(a) I'm way tired;

1(b) Could I be more tired?;

1(c) I don't think so, I'm exhausted;

1(d) Have I said I'm slobbering on myself I'm so out of it?;

1(e) I need a shower and I'm too pooped to take one;

1(f) I don' wanna be up right now;

1(g) Damn I need to lay back down;

1(h) A few amphetamines washed down with an octuple espresso sounds like a good idea about now;

1(i) I might wake up a bit if I put on a catnip chappeau and let the kitties next door climb me like a tree, but I'm too tired to go out on the deck;

1(j) If someone would volunteer to address all our wedding invitations and go to work for me, I might be able to crawl back into the sack;

1(k) Any masochists out there?

1(l) PS Spy you got the right idea on the honeymoon thing.

1. I wonder if because it is so close to you guys and you are used to seeing it, it doesn't seem like a good honeymoon place.

2. Marm, we have been looking at the Sandals resorts in the Carribbean as well. It is just that we wanted winter and all-inclusive, and there are limited choices. But, we've got some stuff coming in the mail from Sandals, so we'll see what the prices are. Most likely, though, we won't go anywhere.

3. My flight leaves in a couple of hours and I hope it isn't pouring in Atlanta still. I have the weather channel on right now and it looks like the remnants of the hurricane have moved north.

1. If you want winter stuff, the Poconos is not that bad a place for a honeymoon. Of course, I would not want a honeymoon with all those clothes on, but hey, that's me LOL

2. If you want a reallllllll nice all inclusive try Allegro in Aruba. I have heard the best things about that.

3. The rain in New York has been so bad today, It started raining before 5 am and the rain was so incredibly hard, the streets are flooding and it is just horrible.

4. Other than that, I hope everybody has a nice day. I am surprisingly not homicidal, even though I should have been on my way to Florida right now.
