9.1 Hey Spygirl, (while I'm sure you've already checked this avenue), have you tried restaurant rental companies for silverware? I work at a restaurant that sometimes does larger functions (standing room parties etc) and we rent extra plates and cutlery from a company like that. It's cool, because you just throw it back in the bin dirty and they will wash it themselves. Anyways, if you're stuck, try one of those places. GOOD LUCK!!! PS - They have plates, and every type of glass too if you're completely stuck.

1. Today is just a blah day for me. Don't know why. 2. I burnt my arm twice this weekend on the woodstove. Ouch! 3. This is my last week to be under "half a century" old. I don't know what to think about that. LOL 4. It's above freezing here with bright sunshine and the snow is melting just so it can refreeze tonight. I hope my carport clears today. 5. I'm thinking about taking a half day off this Friday so I can look into replacing the woodstove with a gas stove or fireplace.

1. This day is starting out totally nuts. My mother went to the emergency room yesterday with an apparent heart attack. Turns out...it wasn't a heart attack afterall, but blood clots in her lungs. 2. My Dad, sister and brother were all there at the hospital with mom. Who should come in with her mother in distress, but my brother's wife! Which goes to prove my theory that "Things happen in bunches!" 3. Today my Dad calls to let me know what's happening with mom and gives me the number to her hospital room so that I can talk to her. 4. I call the room, but keep getting a message that there is a problem with the line and it is being checked out...so try again later. 5. I finally have enough of this...and use Yahoo to locate a number for the hospital. I find out that Dear Old Dad ...gave me the wrong prefix! (They only have two prefixes so he had a 50/50 chance). 6. Finally I am able to get through and who should answer the phone, but dear old Dad. 7. Apparently Mom is now missing in action. 8. I explain to Dad that I have been trying to call since we hung up the phone hours ago. 9. Then I tell him that the nice person at the hospital gave me a toll free number to call and that he needs to pass it along to little brother. 10. He says, "go ahead and give it to me." I ask him if he has a pen and he says "NO". And I tell him that he isn't going to remember it! Fortunately, Uncle Ernie arrives at that time and saves the day with a pen. *phew*.

1. I've been running at full steam today! Just mailed off a 4000Euro grant application that I just started writing last night. Silly me didn't realize that Adobe Acrobat doesn't save unless you have the full version! So I had to redo what I had written last month! YIKES. I covered for the choir director (two choirs) today and we had another job candidate in and that took 2 hours. I have a headache and I won't be able to go home until about 9:30...DON'T LIKE 12 HOUR WORK DAYS!

1. I have not had the best morning. 2. Woke up, went to my computer, clicked on the internet, nothing. Looked down and noticed cable modem is on floor, wet. Seems cat knocked it down. But wait....that wasn't enough, she also knocked down a can of coke right on top of it (son left it there last night). Cat has cost me $75 for a new modem. 3. Said cat is now living downstairs again. That was the last straw.

1. Wedding planner is in Atlanta! 2. He missed the first flight out of Atlanta into here, but he'll catch the next one and will be here in 3 hours. 3. Henry has to go to the vet this afternoon because he is limping and whining horribly about his front, right paw. 4. I have to be at work in about an hour and I'll be there until 8:30 tonight. 5. This is it - the last day of preparation before everything has to be loaded into two vehicles and driven to Texas. Lots of stuff to do!

1. Spy, I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to hear all about your wedding and see pictures. 2. I look forward to hearing about everyone's Texas adventures too, it sounds like it is going to be a great time. 3. It is good to see Kady posting here again! 4. I am taking the kids to Open Gym at the gymnastics academy. They always have a really good time there. 5. I have been busy working on house plans for our addition/remodel. This is going to be fun, but stressful. We will be adding on 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, laundry room, family room and reading room/extra office. And then remodeling the kitchen and other rooms that are staying where they are. 6. Happy Amazing Race Day!

1. Such a busy day today. 2. We had the most frustrating meeting at school today. It seems that the powers that be want us to pull certain students for intensive intervention for the next couple of weeks before they take the state achievement test. It's a complete CYA move for someone, not sure who yet. Six sessions of 30 minute intervention is not going to do a whole lot. URGG! 3. At the same meeting, we were also told we have to fill out course recommendation sheets for all 230+ students by Monday! That gives us only 2 days (we have a field trip tomorrow). We were given the forms today. And to top it off, all forms must be alphabetized. 4. I want to go home 5. DH didn't receive his important mail today. He found out that the post office (the worst one in our old town) neglected to log in his forwarding order. All of his mail has been returned to sender. I'm praying DH doesn't lose it. 6. What a day!

1. Well...things are going a little better today. Mom seems to be feeling better now that they have her started on blood thinners and could be going home tomorrow. 2. In the "How many doctors does it take to treat one patient?" realm, I discovered that the emergency room doctor on call determined that it wasn't a heart attack and decided to send mom back home. 3. A second doctor arrived on the scene and happened to press on mom's chest which sent her up out of her chair and nearly through the roof! Doctor #2 wisely decided that perhaps more tests were in order. That's when they discovered the two blood clots in her lungs. 4. Enter Doctor #3 who is the Doctor that treats Mom's diabetes. Doc is concerned because all of a sudden her blood sugar levels are rising out of control. How can this be??? 5. Doctor #3 discovers that Doctor #2 ordered a glucose IV solution...just the thing for a diabetic! (Note the sarcasm). 6. Mom was supposed to have a pacemaker put in the near future...but that plan is scrapped for now. Can't be doing surgery while on blood thinners. I'm glad Doctor #3 is calling the cardiologist personally. 7. Now if they can just figure out where these blood clots are coming from and get that problem fixed...I'll be a happy camper.

1. YIPPEE!!! I talked to Spy on the phone today...twice! She sounds great, considering all the excitement in her life right now. 2. I was very excited because she is having a very new song at her wedding and I found it online for download in sheet music form. YIPPEE! We are both happy. 3. I LOVE www.musicnotes.com ! They have lots of music in sheet music form for a very reasonable price. 4. I have my second 12 hour day this week today. At least I got to eat lunch today! 5. Had a horrible sinus headache last night. Fell asleep with an icebag on top of my head after popping two sinus Tylonals. 6. Amazing what a good night's sleep does for a person. 7. My burned grad student is healing nicely. He's back at work and printing things like crazy. 8. I will be glad when I can get home and watch Amazing Race tonight.

1. I hate driving in the rain. The idiots on the interstate scare me. 2. Ellen will be on in an hour. I love her show. 3. Even though I know how to type properly, I now type using the two finger method. For some reason, its easier for me to do now. 4. 1257890...okay the 3,4 and 6 don't work. I gotta use the numbers over to the right. So far thats the only keys I have found that don't work. Thats not enough to make me fight the crowds to buy a new keyboard. 5. My Mom has to open my tanning salon for me tomorrow because I have a Doctor's appointment. Hopefully she won't have to be there long cause she knows absolutely nothing about the place. 6. I told her just unlock the door, turn on the lights. Sit down and watch tv. Be nice to the customers and they know what to do. 7. If its really cold, nobody is bound to get there till after I get in from the Doctor. I want to tan myself, I have some new lotion I want to try. 8. Boneless porkchops are on the menu tonight. DH will be happy cause I bought a big package. He can eat all the chops I cook...so the more the merrier. 9. I bought Kenny Chesney's new CD. It is okay to listen to but I don't really love it. His last one, I can listen to over and over.

1. What a week. Wow. And it's just Tuesday! 2. You all know my weekend probably- spent with Tim's family and seeing his dad. So, got nothing done on the weekend that I otherwise would have. 3. Subbed yesterday, then went to work. I left work an hour and a half early so I could get to the library and drop off a movie that was due before they closed, stop at the store to get shampoo and conditioner and something to make, get home and do laundry plus make a meal. 4. Before I got more than 5 miles from school on my way home they called and asked if I could do a 3 day which I started today. Kinda dull- just in the computer lab. 5. I get home today and there's another message asking about Friday already. 6. So lots of working this week....which is fine because I'm trying to put some money away to replace my car. But these are some looong days with two jobs every day. 7. This weekend I'm sure will be busy too with seeing Tim's dad again and who knows what else. 8. Yeah. My car. Oil leak. Grrrr. Not that I noticed- there's no puddle. It's a slow leak but I was kinda down 2 quarts (of the 4 my car needs). Luckily Tim found it when I made him add some anti-freeze to my car- I want a new car anyway. I know- oil leaks can be fixed but I've been planning on getting a newer one and if it's expensive, it won't be worth it on a 13 year old car that's closing in on 200,000 miles. 9. Sooo....I've been checking it every day and it's staying level- must be a very slow leak. I'll miss that car- I've had it since 1997. It's been great. The lowest maintenance thing ever. No major repairs aside from basic stuff when cars get old. In seven years- a battery, struts, a starter, an alternator, and a lot of oil and gas pretty much. 10. And that, everyone, is what's been going on with me. Hey, isn't it kinda funny that the exact same stuff is referred to an anti-freeze in the winter and coolant in the summer? I was going to say Tim topped off my coolant, but then I realized it's cool out so now it's anti-freeze. And isn't it funny too that it's warned up to 35 degrees out and I feel no need for a cot but if it was 35 degrees and, like, September, or something I would be super, super bundled? So many random thoughts!

1. This has been an absolutely sucky week. I hate seeing my babies sick and miserable. I want to wave a magic wand and make them better or take it on myself or anything that would just make them feel better.

Morning everyone 1. Hoping everyone has safe travels to Texas in the next few days, looking forwards to reports and pictures. 2. Trying to figure out why I am soooo tired. Perhaps a doctors appointment in order. I think it is stress. 3. Got most of dd's project done and she is now starting to memorize what she is to present.

1. Not all packed for Texas, yet. 2. Also wishing Spy a safe trip and will see her soon! 3. Definitely bringing my laptop and camera. 4. Winds woke me up too early. 5. Winds not good because part of roof is open due to roofing repair project that the association just had to schedule when I'm leaving town. In less than two hours there will be the "patter" of not very little feet up above and I just hope the roof stays in place in the meantime.

1. Good Morning!! Happy Wednesday everybody. 2. I went back asleep after Matthew left for school so now I don't have alot of time. 3. I have to leave for the pain management doctor in about 20 minutes and I am nowhere near ready. 4. After that, I gotta go straight to work so I won't have alot of time to visit the board today. 5. It sounds like there will be tons of folks in Texas this weekend. 6. Have a great day and stay warm. Its only in the 40's here but that is cold to me.
