1. I had an emergency trip to the opthamologist today. Migrane with aura and my eyes still aren't focusing.

2. Get to go to the optomotrist for reading glasses.

3. Get to go to the hospital and get a CT Scan.

4. Get to go to the neurologist to see if it really is a migrane or "just" another type of hideous headache.

5. This is my fourth severe headache in about 7 or 8 days.

6. Had to really bump the font size up so I can see the computer with my super dialated eyes.

7. I wore a really pretty new dress today. I really like it. Black with tiny white dots and pink trim. Bottom hem is scalloped with pink and has flowers embroidered on the bottom. Pretty pink satin ribbon for a belt.

8. My smoke detector is beeping. I changed the battery and I guess that one is bad, too. I'm out of batteries and can't drive into town to buy more, so I guess I'll just have to put up with it. What fun.....beep (headache) beep (Headache).

9. I am supposed to make mint brownies tonight, but I don't have the sugar, milk and enough butter. The picnic is tomorrow....maybe I'll feel better tomorrow afternoon, or I'll just buy some.

Have a great evening....I think I'll just take a nap!

10....Ok, we have another set of "downer" facts. I guess that I'm a slow typist tonight.

10.1 Or you could just take out the battery until you can get to town tomorrow. <I would not normally recommend this, but I get migrane's too.>

1. Hubby brought me a treat today too! Fresh peaches from the farmer's market.

2. He was on his way home from a test for one of the jobs he got called back on. He passed of course!

1. I woke up at 7:30 this morning. After working a LONG 4-day week where my hours were 7-5:30, I was hoping to sleep in until 9 or 10. Alas, it was not to be.

2. My cats are so happy to have me home; they are tearing around the house like crazy children.

3. My cousin's wife emailed me last night from Miami. She said they were ready for Hurricane Katrina and had plenty of beer and fish tacos! She said the lights were already flickering as she emailed me. Hopefully they made it through okay.

1. I'm seeing better today. WHEW!

2. Took the battery out of the smoke detector. THANKS, JACKIE!!

3. Got up sometime between 2 and 3 (went to bed about 8:30, I think) and sent off my paper that was due yesterday. Took another little nap and came in to school.

4. I'll go home at noon and make the brownies! We have a picnic tonight and then another party. I'm leaving for my parents' this weekend as it is my nephew's birthday. PARTY hardy! LOL

1.1 glad you are feeling better today schoolmarm

1. 1st week of school will be done in about 1/2 hour.
2. I got to eat lunch out with dh today at a nice restaurant with no little people.
3. I'm going to go down the road to the orchard and get a whole bunch of peaches and apples to make inside of pies to freeze for the winter. And the little people are going to help.
4. I think I am going to make chili too.
5. I wish I had been able to go and pick blueberries, too many bugs and not enough rain.

01. I need to figure out how many more days until we move (December 13, 2005, we head out the door to MI).
02. I know that it is 7 more days until the mobile home closes.
03. I am sad that I won't be there early enough to plant lilac bushes this season for next year.
04. I cannot wait to get to the land of real produce, with mega canning and freezing potential.
05. We've gotta buy a new freezer though; since we're not moving the old one (over 10 years old, so it's not as energy efficient as it could be).
06. Mom's learned how to fax, so she took photos of the outside of the mobile, copied them and faxed them. ::sigh:: I gotta get her to go digital...

1. I am at the library posting this, and getting caught up on the board.

2. It looks like our computer got a malicious virus and our hard drive is wiped out and gone.

3. I went to the fair last night and met some friends to see Uncle Kracker.

4. It was a good show, but it only lasted an hour.

5. My friend Robin and I shared a funnel cake afterwards.

6. I bought a bracelet for only $3, but it's pretty even though the beads on it are plastic.

7. <-- pssst, did y'all know that I made/altered that icon for myself and a couple of years ago, when I discovered it was part of the clipart here I asked if it could be named Sage, but my request was declined.

7.2 Vee, I also made the one for Juju, and I did some others but I don't recall them all right now. Uhhh, maybe I'll do more, if I ever get my computer back to working.

7.6 Sage also made this one, which I asked Neil to call jujucooldawg, but instead he misnamed it bunny2



It is SO obviously a yellow dawg with pink ears wearing sunglasses. Sheesh.

1. i haven't posted in here in awhile. i've noticed that the busier i get, the harder it is to make time. what's up with that? since when do i have a life? haha

2. today we had "jimmy buffet day" at work. we were all supposed to wear tropical print shirts and had a staff meeting, which they fed us at. we had sub sandwiches. they were pretty darn good, too.

3. we also received our service awards that we chose for milestone anniversary dates. i've been with the company for 5 years, and i chose a very nice pair of binoculars. they are awesome! i figured they would come in handy for all the concerts i go to. :-)

4. the dog and cat both got their flea meds put on their necks tonight. the cat will stay pissed through probably tomorrow....the dog is easy-going and is pretty much over it by now.

5. it has been hotter than hell here and i will be so glad when it cools down. i hate working in no air conditioning. today i was an idiot and wore heavier jeans than usual because i thought the other ones were clean.

6. i'm so happy it's the weekend finally...i can hardly wait to sleep in tomorrow. woo hoo!

7. i finally got my kelly clarkson concert pics posted in my folder. they turned out pretty good, but my scanner makes them look weird. i think i need to mess with the settings so they don't look striped.

8. sunday we had flash flooding here and apparently strong storms....lighting of course hit my phone line, and i had to buy a new modem. i was without the internet for 2 whole days...had some problems getting everything installed right. it sucked. it made me realize that i'm an internet junkie. lol. the sad thing is...all my big brother-watching friends want to know what's going on from me...and i had to dissappoint them. so glad i have my precious internet back! lol!

1. Sage, I never knew that! How coooooool!

2. Had the TV off for the day; just learned that Hurricane Katrina is headed toward my ds, Matt, and his girl, Bonnie. They've stocked up on videos and food; otherwise, they are relaxed. This is now their 3rd. (I swear this mess started when Matt moved there from DE)

3. I understand it is threatening the Buttercup (and Twiggy? and Lostintheglades? families, too).

4. Not sure how I got onto the topic, but I started researching Brer Rabbit tales, then remembered Crusader Rabbit and started looking for information on that cartoon series that I absolutely loved as a kid.

5.Course now I have clipart of Crusader Rabbit. Isn't he adorable?
2

6. We FINALLY got reimbursed for our moving expenses. Took my dh's company a little over a month to get it to us! Wasn't easy to eat the $6,000 for that long.

7. My dd moved to a new apartment (still in Brooklyn) on Wednesday. She is sharing it with two other gals, both of whom are employed (not students this time), so making rent should not be a hassle.

8. I made an appt to see my gastro doc on 9/19. I was finally able to confirm that my medical records arrived.

9. Yikes, that Jbean beat me to it! Have to go read her news now! Ahhh! Unlike, JBean, we've been having lovely weather. Highs in the low 80s and down in the 60s at night--with nary a touch of humidity.

01. HP: Please reassure me that the $6K meant you moved a LOT of stuff? Wait...my estimates were at $1500...before we found out about the furnishings.
02. Okay, I can breathe again.
03. I walked over to the grocery store and picked up some stuff.
04. At 7:30PM, it was still 97-degrees.
05. I also realized that when we move, we'll have a better chance of star gazing.
06. And it will be much more pleasant to sit outside.
07. I've created plans for an herb garden in front of my bay window and, depending on how large the space is between the parking area and the sidewalk, planned out locations for the butterfly garden.
08. Mom asked me what type of grass we wanted.
09. Unfortunately, we were watching Weeds on DVR, and I told her I thought growing grass was illegal.
10. She didn't think I was funny.

01. Mamie: It's a good show, isn't it?
02. Me either...I just wasn't thinking.
02.01. It is a good question though...I haven't had lawn grass in so long, I've forgotten about the possibilities...

1. I'll bet you are soooo excited, Laurie. Changes, changes! And all good ones.

2. The $6,000 was extremely high! Much higher than we anticipated. But it did include all packing and unpacking--and they had to get the stuff in our storage unit, too. They go by weight and miles. And we evidently had lots of heavy stuff.

3. I thought your weeds comment was funny, Laurie!!

01. Good changes indeed. I just realized that I will be leaving Vegas 19 years to the day of my arrival here.
02. Vegas has changed a lot since then; so have I.
03. Only one of us changed for the better.
04. Of the stuff in our apartment, we're only taking one room worth of furniture. And most of it collapses. myicon
(Actually, so did DH and I after we realized what I said, since I'm neither a smoker, toker, or eater...)

1. Laurie, you are funny!

2. Moving is just the pits.

3. The last time we moved was almost 18 years ago.

4. Hopefully, we won't be doing it again for a long, long time.

5. Talking about the show "Weeds", this last episode was hilarious.
