1. Ok, factoids....I'm at work. 2. Today is a beautiful day, and I am leaving momentarily to run a whole bunch of errands on and off campus. Ah, sunshine! 3. Also should feed the cat. Forgot about that this morning! MEOW!!!! WHERE is my food! 4. Good news, we are NOT interviewing anyone this week! 5. I had forgotten what it is like to actually be able to do WORK during office hours. 6. Getting ready to go to North Texas on Thursday. Taking a VAN, yikes! 7. That means I have to compress all my work into three days. I hope that someone will spoil "Survivor" (Raen???)

1. The in-laws are headed back home today. 2. They live in California 3. That's where my wife grew up. I suppose I have a California girl. 5. My daughters were sad to see them go...so was I. Unlike some people, I get along great with my inlaws. May have to do with the fact that we live so far apart and I only see them once or twice a year. 6. My MIL can cook like you won't believe. I'll put her lasagna against anybody's. 7. I wonder what happened. My wife seems not to have inherited that cooking gene. 8. And apparently I did...I like to cook.

1. I'm at home - as always! 2. I just woke up from a 3 hour nap. 3. I had 16 staples in my stomach that the nurse removed today. 4. I had to step on the scales while at the Dr.'s office... OMG! 5. It's hard to explain, but since the surgery, I truly feel different, and feel like I'm finally going to heal. 6. I've been a lot more emotional lately, crying at the drop of a hat. My hormones must be out of whack. 7. I'll be so glad when I'm recovered enough to go out and take pictures with my new digital camera that I got for my b'day. 8. Bob came to visit yesterday for a little while. He held me for the longest time, and said some very wonderful things to me... sigh. I paid special attention to how he was looking at me too, and saw that it was different, with more interest and care than usual. Dang, I miss him. 9. Mom has been so wonderful and helpful to me. She's making us dinner right now. I'm so blessed to still have her in my life.

1. Hope I have 10 thoughts left in my tired brain 2. I just got back from lunch with the boss. He paid. 3. The boss told me he finally saw my ex with TOW at the grocery store. Boss said she is butt ugly. 4. I just got introduced to the new receptionist (too late Mocha). 5. She is young and came in wearing clam digger pants and sandles. 6. I'm not feeling good about this new receptionist, but will give it time. 7. Our new printer isn't printing. So much for computer equipment upgrades. 8. My new carpet is being put in this Friday. Yeah! 9. The ex still doesn't know I already had surgery and know the biopsy is benign. 10. Good thing I'm going to the gym tonight. Lunch was too much.

1. It's 130 am, and I'm trying to finish this essay that was due yesterday, but I will (hopefully) hand in tomorrow. I hate sitting at my computer concentrating for long period of time. I think I have adult ADD(no 'H' because I am lacking hyperactivity). I am experiencing that end-of-semester burnout. Especially considering how many things are due and how many final quizzes and tests and things that are packed into the last week of school. I love a teacher that isn't afraid to front-load their semester. 2. I registered for classes at my NEW UNIVERSITY today. It didn't go as well as I had hoped. I only got one class that I actually WANT/NEED. I enrolled for 2 other stupid courses, because nothing else had space available. There were other Psych courses available, but all of the psych "lectures" conflict with each other. How is someone supposed to be a psych major if they can only take one course per semester because they all overlap?!? I am excited to go to my new school though. Change is welcome. I have more facts, but I only have 2 spaces to write them in. I'll have to wait for more people to write!!

1. I'm trying to come up with an agenda for a conference call I have to plan and I only have 2 items. 2. This will be the shortest call in history. 3. I went outside to mail something and it's gorgeous out there and warm. So why am I still at work?

1. i haven't posted in here in awhile. things have been kind of nutty! 2. for those of you who haven't read my post about meeting kelly clarkson this weekend in the kelly clarkson fanm club thread, i will tell you, she is absolutely delightful. such a nice young woman! it was an experience of a lifetime. i wish they would hurry up and post my pic with her so i can post it here. i haven't gotten my pictures of the concert developed yet. i hope they turn out good. 3. i've had a sore throat since sunday, and i had thought it was because of all the screaming i did at the concert...but it is a chest cold and i can barely speak at the moment. blech! at least it sounds worse than it feels. 4. got my new 'puter up and running. it's so much quicker than webtv. loves it!

1. I woke up at 2:30am and I can't go back to sleep...ugh! 2. I've got a million and one things floating through my head right now. Lots going on in my life right now, both at home and at work. 3. The wind is blowing like crazy right now and it's a bit cool for SoCal. 4. Our hospital had a used furniture sale this past Wednesday. They took closed bids on all kinds of items (Big screen TV's, lots of waiting room type of furniture, secretarial chairs, desks, tables of various shapes, file cabinets of all kinds, exercise bikes, treadmills, even company vans!) . I bid on 8 items and won 7 for a total of $51.00. 5. I "won" 2 secretarial type chairs, 3 square Oak end tables and 2 utility 2'x5' type tables . One of the square Oak end tables came with a heavy brass lamp (which I didn't realize was part of the deal). 6. I'll keep one of the secretarial chairs, an end table and one of the utility tables (the one with folding legs). All the other stuff I'll offer to dd for her apartment. 7. Egbob let me borrow his truck to pick up my 7 items and the guys at the loading docks put it all into the back of the truck for me. When I got home, Egbob and I off-loaded the stuff and set it in our huge familyroom. Egbob said I did good...lol! Now to offer it to dd and get it to her....the sooner the better!

1. I'm in Texas for a couple of days. Drove in a university (comfortable) mini-van, but the drive was BRUTAL! 2. Only saw the end of Survivor last night, dang it! 3. Ate BBQ at a combo restaurant/gas station next to the motel. 4. Watched part of the pope's funeral on TV this morning....Godspeed, JP II! 5. I have free wireless internet in the room! YIPPEE! 6. I had my big grant "kind of" turned down...official word was revise and resubmit. BUT that is for NEXT year. I got some really strange comments on it which leads me to believe that some of my colleagues don't do structured research. The rankings were all over the place. I will treasure the one who ranked me at top in all categories. SIGH! 7. Now I'm trying to find another way to get back to Germany this summer so I don't lose a year of research time. I can go after July and use what's left of my start-up funds, but that limits me to a month or six weeks of research or just one language class. 8. I have another grant out, and I should hear soon. I'm not real confident that I will get that one because it is highly competitive. I have plans A, B, C, D, and probably E for the summer. I just need to get the plane tickets bought. SIGH again!

1. I hate to say it but I'm really getting into this new msg thing. 2. It helps when I've been in meetings and need to catch up quickly. 3. I'm thinking that the family needs to go and see Sin City tonight. 4. #1 has his first game Sunday with this new league which is supposed to give him some great exposure, but I need to get him some metal cleets(sp). 5. #2 has started practicing for his travel baseball team which dh is coaching. I think we're going to have a busy season this year. 6. I just dribbled some coffee on my keyboard. 7. I'm soo glad it's Friday and I have no meetings scheduled. 8. But I have to prep for meetings next week and for the Birmingham trip next month. 9. I'm really hoping to get picked up for another job before that happens though.

I'm only doing one point but it's huge! Hubby got back his CT results today and it isn't showing his cancer! This means that either its dormant or else it can't be seen due to the chemo (too soon to show up). He has more tests in July and every three months after that, with a CT at the end of thid yr. At this point the dr says no news is good news...and the cancer isn't growing/spreading. Bottom line - "no chemo in the near future"

Great news, Lyn! 1. Yesterday I left the house for the first time, since breaking my leg almost 4 weeks ago, to see the Orthopedic doctor. 2. I will not be leaving home again until I can walk. Here is a good reason NOT to give crutches to a little old lady like me: After I managed to make it down 2 sets of stairs to the front porch, I lost my balance and fell. My arm slid down the edge of the wrought iron rail and took a lot of skin with it. I have a huge gash about 3/4 inch wide X 4 inches long. 3. My broken leg is losing muscle fast so even after the cast comes off it will be a while before I can walk. 4. I am never again leaving the house when there is ice on the ground. 5. Yesterday was so traumatic that I came home and slept 13 hours!!! I've never done that! 6. I missed all of Survivor and Apprentice. ACK! 7. My wonderful hubby is taking such good care of me. I don't know what I would do without him. He waits on me hand and foot. 8. He's getting very good at fixing meals and he keeps me supplied with snack food for when he is at work. 9. I think I'll keep him. LOL 10. Happy Weekend, my TVCH friends!! I miss you guys something fierce!!

1. I think Mocha is buying her son new cleats as a way of PROJECTING her shoe fetish onto others. I also am happy that things are going so well with Jbean and Lola. 2. Yesterday was my LAST LAB class for Biology. May I never see the lab tech ever again. I've never been in such an educationally deficient class. I've taken university biology before at another university. This university I am at now is terrible. A woman in my class is a nurse, has two Masters degrees, and teaches nursing, but has to take 1st year Bio to do her PhD. Even she thinks our Bio faculty is a JOKE. I am SOOOO happy to be almost finished with my current school. 3. I also called my new university's registrar's office yesterday, to see if I would have to REAPPLY if I only took one course this summer (instead of 3), and considering I had applied under the premise of being a full time student for the summer semester. It turns out that I CAN just take the one course, and I WON'T have to re-apply. YAY!! I immediately dropped the other two "filler" courses I had enrolled in to take up space. Now I can work more this summer and hopefully make enough money to pay for this rise in tuition come fall.

1. I'm back from Texas! It was a fabulous symposium. 2. I have spent WAYYYYY too much time with my three grad students in a school van! 3. Ate a whole FARM at "Babe's" in Sangor Texas! They have singing keraoke waitresses. There were actually "dualing "Patsies" singing "Crazy". This is a family style restaurant, and you order your platter of meat and they give you bowls of beans, corn, and 'tators. The desert was to die for, too! Oh, yeah, and they "do the Hokey Pokey". 4. Cat is happily sitting on my lap. I should be sleeping, but I thought that I would get caught up. Also have to get my left foot elevated, as it is REALLY swollen. Don't know why. And I will have to squeeze it into an organ shoe at 8am tomorrow morning.
