1. I hit the Coldwater Creek Store, I'm all set for outfits that mix and match for school (and for Mystic!!) (Did I mention it was COLD? ha not for me - 63 degrees in AUGUST!!) 2. Now its time to get serious about my diet and exercise!! Dh is doing good - South Beach... only today I detoured him from running, we decided to have a coctail!! Cosmo anyone? 3. Fact both DS have girlfriends!! DS #1 is in Chicago with his gf, and wants to go somewhere Labor Day weekend, with one of our 2 cars!! *sigh 4. I love the pics of dogs, I miss not having a dog, guinea pigs are nice, but just not the same thing!!

1. I love Buddy's ears - how cute. 2. Maggie May is adorable. 3. I like dogs but hate the idea of walking dogs, and taking dogs outside and such. 4. I am more cat people. 5. I would love to get more cats, methink the master of the house (casper) would not like that idea very much so I have to make due with one.

1. I find it amusing that Puppylov loves cats more than puppies. 2. I like cats and dogs, but I really don't want any of my own. 3. It's been a very lonely day for me today. 4. It seems almost all my weekends are spent alone, and I really don't like that very much. 5. I've been reading some good books to help fill the empty hours. 6. I start back with my walking routine tomorrow... Yay!

1. I'm home from the bachelorette party. 2. I'm very tired. 3. My head is spinning. 4. I will not have a voice tomorrow. 5. I danced until my feet wouldn't let me dance no more. 6. I left the house with $50 and came home with $30! 7. I hope to spend most of the day tomorrow recovering!

1. I just realized that I didn't get dressed yesterday. YEAH, a pajama day! 2. I still have a clear fishpond and the fish look more active than they did in the murky water. 3. It rained really hard yesterday, and it looks like it will rain again today. 4. I need to go in to work today, even though I would rather play in a Magic the Gathering tournament. Maybe I'll take the cards in anyway, and go after church. 5. Did you know that Illinois has TWO state fairs? The main one is in Springfield and the other one is down south by me, in DuQuon (pronounce DooCoin). Maybe I'll go sometime before I have my Lasik re-done. 6. Even though I live 9 miles from work and church, I am using less gas than when I lived 4 blocks from work (and 3 miles from the Walmart, and 27 miles from church).....you do the math....go figure! 7. My rosecea is fading away. I don't know whether it was something in the water in PA, or whether I'm eating different, or whether getting in the pool is good for it. I always figured that it was locational, as it would always start to clear up whenever I was traveling. 8. I need to find an umbrella for today! Have a great day, everyone!

1. i had quite an eventful day yesterday! 2. i got up a little after 9am (recovered a little bit of lost sleep from thursday night's excursion). first thing i did was get caught up in this thread. 3. at about a quarter til 10, alterego calls and says that a guy that we know has tickets he needs to brooks and dunn and gretchen wilson in KC he needs to get off his hands for THAT NIGHT, but that another guy may take them....keep in mind i had a 2 o'clock wedding to go to. i said "Well, when would we leave?" and she said she guessed after the wedding. 3. i also had a tanning apt for 10am, so went to it, then there is a message on my cell phone saying that the other guy got the tickets, so we could chill. we were almost relieved. not that we wouldn't have loved to go, but so much driving and to have to rush around. 4. so i went to the 2 o'clock wedding and it didn't last long, i left around 3:30 and had gone to the reception, too. my friend looked so beautiful! the poor girl who fell off the barstool thursday night at the bachelorette party had a bruise on her chin. 5. well, it had been raining on and off all day, and myself and alterego had plans to go to an outdoor concert last night...the 4 jax with jake simpson, so i called her at around 4:30 to see if she thought we should still go with it raining so much off and on and if she thought we should still go. 6. she calls me back about half an hour later, and we talk about it and talk about the possibility of going to branson to see brad cotter instead...which we finally decided to do, partly because we heard that now the 4 jax don't do much 80's songs anymore, and sing stuff that they've written, and we love brad cotter, so we decided to go to branson (an hour trip away) instead. 7. the show started at 7 and it was already 5, and alterego hadn't gotten ready, or even showered, so we agreed i would come pick her up at 6pm neither of us were at home, either), so we knew it would be close! 8. but because of my leadfoot, we made very good time (like 35 minutes...luckily because we didn't get left on time), and we got to set in the 6th row center! 9. turns out the whole deal was that it is a company putting on a tv show in branson, that will be syndicated! (our episode will air oct. 23, probably on ABC). it was so much fun! you can always count on us to be loud lol. since it was for a tv show, there were numerous takes, like he only did 6 songs, but did 4 takes of each one! 9.3 i am skipping many details here, but i do want to add that due to a little "heads up" we got to go party with brad and his entourage at a local pub! SO FUN! and i am more in love with him now than before! (he remembered us from the KC concert...well sorta) eta: for anyone who doesn't know who brad cotter is, he is this year's nashville star...check out my profile pic to see who he is...HOT!

1. I cannot read Jbeans orange posts, so I often just skip them. 2. I wonder how many others do that as well. 3. I would like to tell Marm that when you spell DuQuoin with an i in it, the pronunciation is not so weird. 4. I did not know there were two Illinois State Fairs. 5. I only ever knew about the one in Springfield. 6. Growing up in Illinois, it was a REALLY big deal if you got to go to the State Fair. 7. I saw the Osmonds at the State Fair when I was growing up. There were about twelve of them, ages 4 to 17. 8. I am messing with computers today, as I have been for the past several days. 9. The computers are cascading downhill. 10. I got a new desktop, which means Bigdog got my old one, which means my starving artist friend gets Bigdog's old play computer.

1. So now I know how to spell DuQuoin.....I actually exhibited several times at the Illinois State Fair (in Springfield) I won a couple of Superior ratings in Macrame and Knitting. My brother got one in Leathercraft the same year I got the knitting one....that was a really big deal to have two people from one town get superiors...AND to be related! A superior is given to the top blue ribbon winners. This was in 4-H. Mom exhibited in cake decorating and usually won something. She also entered my wedding dress and got 2nd prize, but also an award for "favorite". Funny, we always went for the exhibits, and I've NEVER seen a grandstand show at any of the fairs that I've gone to!

1. I find green and orange hard to read. 2. The lighter the color the harder it is for me, but I always can see purple.

3.5(c) If I have trouble reading something due to the color, I type [Ctrl]-[A] (hold the Ctrl key and type A) which highlights all the text like this:white on a black background. | <PS: Works on 'hidden' text too!>

1. I feel fine today, Jbean. Thanks for asking! 2. I dropped my disposable camera off at Walmart already...the pics are great! 3. I really, really, really had a fun time last night. My cousin had great time too, so I'm very happy about that. 4. I was craving greasy food today. I always do after I spend the night out drinking. So I just got done eating some greasy pizza. Yum! That really hit the spot!

1. I'm excited that Gingerpooh bought a spankin' brand new car yesterday too!! SHOTGUN!! 2. I don't know what in the hell got into me today, but as a result, my house hasn't looked this good in years...lol!! 3. In cleaning around the house today, I heard myself grunting and groaning and working up quite a sweat. I think I'm getting too old for this housecleaning stuff. 4. I did have the TV turned on to the Olympic Men's Marathon...so maybe I felt inspired to clean. I dunno....maybe it's because the moon is full. 5. I'm not cooking tonight....nope, no way. 6. I'm looking forward to Mystic too Gingerpooh. I can't believe it's almost here!

1. Morning all! I am now, officially, on vacation until next Tuesday. yay!!! 2. Tim and I went to the cabin Saturday night- it wsn't super warm or anything but it was still fun. 3. It's a long dirt driveway to the cabin and we got halfway through and there was a tree that had fallen across it. We had to walk to the cabin, grab the chainsaw (luckily it had gas in it), go back, and cut it. That was fun. Tee hee. 4. Ummm....gee. I know there was a bunch more I wanted to tell you guys about. I mean, Monday mornings have been my only time I post in here lately. 5. Ahhh...the interview. I went alright. It was three interviewers plus the HR representative person. I think I did pretty well with the first two interviewers, but the third asked a lot of questions about what I know about IEPs, IDEA, Section whatever it is in Wisconsin that deals with IDEA, what I know about Oneida culture- those were a lot harder for me than how I handle difficult students. 6. I want to go up and see my mom this week sometime but I have no idea when she's coming back from her kayak trip! It seems like it was a really long time ago that she left and it was supposed to be a 10 day trip. It's probably been about 10 days. But I've been watching the weather and they've had storms and I worry. Probably they're taking their time driving back and they may have lost some time with bad weather. There were 4 of them going so if anything bad happened I assume I would know by now because chances are whatever might have happened probably wouldn't have happened to all four of them. 7. I also want to go down and see Leif and Carolyn for a day. It's only about 100 miles and I saw them earlier this month but if I can get down there a day when Jason is working, that's what I want because I haven't spent any time with Carolyn without Tim or Jason in a long time. She wanted me to come down yesterday for that reason but I couln't make it because of cabin plans.

1. I'm baaaaaacccckkkkk!!!! 2. Last week I was going through serious sensory deprevation. No phone, no cable TV and no computer!!! ACK!!! 3. Now I have all the luxuries of home except for the rooms that are floor to ceiling full of boxes and furniture. 4. Yesterday hubby and friends moved thelast of the big stuff. And last night we brought the baby boy( cat, Squirt)over in the cat carrier. He cried all the way here. Broke my heart. He's still checking out the place. So far I don't think he likes it as well as what was his home all of his life. 5. Hubby hurt his arm during moving the freezer and he was really hurting all over so he stayed at the big house with the girl(cat, Angel) last night. They will be moving over today. 6. This is quite an interesting neighborhood. On one side of us are several young hispanics who are coming and going all hours and playing loud latin music. Across the street we hear lots of loud rap music. And on the other side of us are a cloister of nuns! LOL 7. Hubby thinks it is so funny that this little southern protestant girl absolutely loves nuns! My physician's assistant is a nun and I love her to death. And I love the ones next door! 8. There is a lot to be done here and we are basically living in the upstair. There was water damage in the lower front of the apts so the wood floors are like little pointed speed bumps. So those are the rooms that are filled with stuff until we can afford to get the floor fixed. 9. Last night it was so wonderful to sleep in my bed again!!! I've been sleeping on lots of blankets and pillows on the floor since May!!!

1. Today I had my epidural cortisone shot for the pain in my back from a bulging disk. It was performed at a dedicated unit/clinic (?) called Health South that handles outpatient surgeries (not a hospital)--in a building right across the street from my orthopedic surgeon's office. (Next door to where we live!) 2. I was there 2 hours, although the actual time the doc took with me amounted to about 5 minutes. 3. Most of the time was divided among preliminary paperwork, prep time for me, and then rest time after the procedure. 4. I had to walk into the operating room and lie face down on the stretcher with a pillow under my tummy. 5. Nurses inserted an IV (however, I was awake during the procedure and could feel pain), blood pressure cuff, finger clip thing (heart rate monitor?) and breathing thingee in my nose. I could see the pic of my spine (from my MRI) on a screen in front of the stretcher. 6. The nurses and anesthetist did their thing. The nurses exposed my back and behind! They cleaned it (betadine?) ewww--cold--twice. Then they draped the area with just a small hole where the needle would enter the spine. 7. When the doc inserted the needle, he didn't forewarn me! I had a 1-second warning from a nurse at my head saying I would feel a short burst of pain in my backside and down one or both legs. 8. It was painful (scale of 0-10, it was about an 8), but it only lasted a few seconds. Felt like he was drilling like a dentist and moving around a bit in the spot. I did feel a terrible crushing pain in my left leg, and then it was over. No pain afterwards at all. IV was removed. 9. Wheeled me to the recovery area--curtained off 'rooms.' I rolled from the stretcher into a wonderful bed featuring some kind of unit in it that warmed the whole body! It was nicely air conditioned in the recovery area, so the heated bed felt lovely. I slept for about an hour, with the blood pressure cuff and finger clipee thing. 10. They checked on me several times, then moved me to a big lounge chair (like the kind used in blood donor areas) and gave me my choice of drink and some crackers. I did fine and was out of there with no problems afterwards. The shot is supposed to take effect gradually, with full relief in 7-10 days. (But I already felt better! No pain when I walked Herc. Yay!!!)
