1. Oh Frootjuuce, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. 2. My best friend had a breast lump/cancer scare a couple of weeks ago. The diagnostic mammogram Monday showed it to only be a cyst. I think that this is the most relieved and thankful I have ever been about anything in my whole life. Prayers are sometimes answered. 3. I had a meltdown at work today. My co-worker has been gone on medical leave for a week now, and they haven't given me any help. Needless to say, I've gotten behind, and they don't care that you are busting your ass and going nuts, as long as the work gets done. Finally after break, the straw broke my back, I was so angry that I just started crying. It sure wasn't on purpose, and people then wouldn't leave me alone. 4. The point was taken though, that I can't handle it on my own, and I am getting some help tomorrow...you have to have a meltdown first, though, to get help. 5. Is Sanjaya ever going to be voted off of Idol? It's getting on my nerves. 6. My best friend from high school is in town this week. Tomorrow night I am going out for girls night with her, her sisters and her cousins. It should be a lot of fun...oh, and we are going to Aaron Buerge's (the Bachelor season 2) bar that he owns here in town. I'm sure everyone is WAY impressed. 7. I think I am going to buy an elliptical machine for home. I try to work out after work in their fitness room on MWF, but this week, since it's been pure hell, I have had to stay and work over because of being so behind, and I'm damn sure not staying any longer than that. It's like torture having to stay. They have cheap ones at work, and I'm sure they aren't as great as the one work has, but damn, I need out of there...then I can also watch tv at the same time. That's important. LOL. 8. Hermi, I can't imagine that my ear piercing hurt worse than nipples. It (the ear) is a little sore, but I soak it in hot sea salt water, and that helps a lot. You should totally get your nose done....my nose is my favorite of all my piercings. 9. I have already decided I'm taking Friday off from work. If I call in that morning, taking a vacation day, they can't make me work on Saturday...they can screw me? Guess what? Paybacks are hell...and I haven't used any vacation time yet. Sad, isn't it?

1. Frootjuuce, I'm sorry you lost your friend. 2. Today is another knockout of a day, sunny and warm, smells good outside, too. 3. Yesterday was busy with spring cleaning. 4. I even got up on the big ladder ( very carefully ) and used the leaf blower to blow sticks and leaves off the roof . . then did the carport and driveway. 5. I was grubby and had to spring clean myself after that. 6. I walked this morning, loving these new shoes ! 7. Since I quit smoking, I seem to have extra $$ all the time . . . I'm spending it as fast as I notice it. 8. I've turned into a real homebody over the years . . . get out everyday . . but love hanging around the house, doing little projects, reading and spending time outside working and then quailty time flopping. 9. I'm looking and hoping Tom Petty and Neil Young tour again soon . . . I'm wanting to see both of them in concert again. 10. Seriously considering changing jobs in the next couple of months . . . tired of nights and weekends all of a sudden . . . 10.a Jbean, have a blast tomorrow night !

1. I REALLY need to Goof Off, but I don't get too. 2. I am going to Chicago this afternoon. 3. I am still needing some different, less hostile colleagues (not the ones in my department, but the ones across campus.)

1. I am so sorry to hear about your friend Frootjuuce. 2. Darren's not sure how they did it but they managed to find enough people in his department to cover a swing shift. He starts April 23 or somewhere around there, supposedly. 3. The good news is that it's (again) supposed to be for only six months. And with end of school coming up and Caleb having a lot of activities to celebrate the end of elementary school and Dakota with end of the year party stuff, and then summer break, it's a pretty darn good time for him to be working nights I guess. 4. I picked my youngest nephew up earlier to come over and play. Dakota's been "babysitting" him since she got home...she's fed him, given him a bottle, helped him walk all over, and played with him. She, and he, have been having a pretty good time!

1. Thanks so much for caring about my friend. I knew it was coming but did not want to see it. 2. I'm glad for a place like TVCH to come to for care and concern. 3. I care about all of you, too, but don't say it much. 4. I will try and change that. 5. Thanks again.

1. ((((((Frootjuice)))))) 2. I've cleaned a little today. 3. I cleaned the bathroom, laundry room, and desk. 4. I'm really, really ticked that my body won't let me do any more. 5. Oh well, I did more today than yesterday!

1. Nick, I give you permission to leave early today. 2. Darrens still at work now so he's working at least an 11 hour day. His boss was talking yesterday about working Saturday and I'm betting that they are going to work as long as they can so they don't have to. 3. Kidlets had their last day of intercession today. I think they enjoyed themselves, both had little parties and played games. 4. I'm kinda curious to see if it helped Caleb for test scores. The last two days he's been taught by one of the yard duty aids, who's goal has been to get them to learn relaxation techniques (pretty much all I got out of him was that he needs to breathe, lol!) 5. Little does Darren know, but we're taking the kids out to dinner tonight. Total laziness on my part, I don't want to cook and want even less to clean up the kitchen after Caleb does dinner dishes. Rather go pay and let someone else deal with it tonight. 6. I'd sure like for him to hurry up and get home though, I'm getting hungry! 7. This weekend is supposed to be beautiful, follwed by a couple cold days early next week. I sure hope it is nice, I want the kids to get in some good outside playtime!

1. Where'd everyone go? I thought this was THE place to be around here? 2. I bought my own elliptical machine the other day (the day I played hooky from work). It's pretty much a piece of shit, compared to the one at work I used, but that's ok - it's mine and now I can work out in the comfort of my own home, with no interruption or pestering...in fact the animals are even scared of it and scurry off when I'm using it. LOL! 3. Oh, and I also screwed it up when I was putting it together. I put on one of the foot pedals upside-down (the drawings are not very clear). Because it was in the wrong way, it stripped the allen head screw and I could NOT get it out! Finally yesterday, my brother in law was able to get it out. Thank goodness! 4. I spent the day yesterday with my sister and my niece and nephew. It had been way too long. I can't believe Cole is already 9 months old! He's wearing 18 month clothes. LOL! He's a little chunk! 5. My niece Erin, had a cheerleading competition a few weeks ago. She is the youngest girl on the "elite", or older girls' team. They are really good. They got 9th out of 9th place - but only because they done some routines that were beyond their actual limitations for the comps - the got a lot taken off for that, but they are good, anyhow. 6. Her next competition in at 6 Flags - this one I think I'm going to. It should be fun. My sister likes the crazy rides like I do. woo hoo! 7. Tomorrow is my mom's birthday. I had to go buy her a gift, then I did my grocery shopping at the supercenter. There were so many idiots out that it tested my patience. So, I came home, and poured some black cherry vodka in my diet rite bottle that I bought at the checkout - my nerves are sufficiently calmed now! LOL! 8. I'm dreading all the BS at work tomorrow from me being gone Friday - oh well, it was worth it. It was time for someone else to be screwed, besides me.

1. Well, Jbean, I went to Chicago on the choo-choo train! 2. The ritzy hotel charged $20 per day for internet, so I said no thanks! 3. It is 80 degrees here! 4. I'm thinking of opening the pool, but it will look like tea, coffee, or a bad lake. 5. I think that JujuKitty has met his/her maker. This kitty really liked wet food, and even though I served Friskies, I'm sure that my neighbors were also feeding the hoard of neighborhood cats, and that there was poison out there. 6. I haven't seen JujuKitty for at least a month. 7. I am hoping that Laura wins on "Grease, you're the one that I want". She is a distant cousin and went to Norway with my folks for a family reunion thing. 8. I have a 12 hour day at work tomorrow. 9. I think that I am getting my research/writing day on Tuesday. I HOPE! I haven't had one for at least two months and I am really behind.

1. 10 huh? 2. I didn't get to sleep til almost 5am this morning. Slept in til close to 10 and was woken up when my sis and bil picked up the kids. 3. They went up and spent the day at the lake fishing, swimming and boating. 4. Me and Darren went to see Wild Hogs and thought it was funny. 5. I bought Dakota some pink gel stuff for her hair. It washes out easy enough that I don't mind doing it to her hair too. 6. Sis called a while ago to tell me she was going to keep the kids all night. They've already had dinner and were getting ready for some banana splits. 7. I'm going to get to sleep in a bit tomorrow, though I do still have to get up early for my nephews and the kids made sis promise she'd have them here early to play with the boys. 8. 12 hour work days suck, Marm, I'm sorry you have to do one. 9. Jbean, my littlest nephew is 10 months old and the same thing, big ole chunk, lol. I just adore chunky babies! 10. I want to do some fun outing with the four kids this week, but I'm not sure I want to do it by myself. Last time I had the boys, Darren was home and going to the movies was a fun trip. Not sure I'm up for it alone though!

1. Good luck, Vacanick! 2. Today is the first day of our Spring Break and the weather is supposed to be semi-nice. 3. My 17 year old niece is coming to stay with us for a couple days. 4. Wednesday we are going to my mom and dad's for the rest of the week. We haven't been to their house since last Spring Break. 5. My husband attempted to cut off his thumb on his table saw this weekend. He was very lucky that he went between 2 bones and just nicked the tendon. It was pretty gross though!

1. I wish we were still on spring break 2. My #2 son will only be home for 2 weeks this summer. 3. He got an internship with a communications company in Sioux Falls. 4. I'm happy for him, sad for me. 5. My daughter will be up there next school year, too. 6. Maybe it's time for me to move back north ...

1. Ouch Jewels for your hubby! My bil once tried to cut off half his hand, went from between the middle finger and ring finger to almost his wrist. That was one of the grissliest things I've ever seen, and I only saw it after he'd had surgery done! 2. Yay for your son, Lady!!!! I'm sorry though you won't get much time with him this summer. 3. My sis still has my kidlets, she's supposed to be dropping then and my two nieces off in a while. 4. I'm not crazy, lol. It is absolutely gorgeous outside and I'll be setting the waterslide up for all six of them (my nephews are already here.) Once they get here they will be spending the rest of the day outside. 5. I was awake at 5:45 this morning. I've already got most of my housework done, plus a couple loads of laundry. 6. I didn't go to bed til 1:30 this morning, I have no idea why I was up so early. 7. It is very quiet here this morning.

1. Last night...Lisa and I went to see Evanescence in concert. 2. Chevelle and Finger Eleven opend for them. 3. Amy 4. Lee 5. Rocked! 6. She has such a powerful voice and she pulls off the "Goth" girl look so well. 7. It was worth every penny. 8. Of course, I didn't get much sleep last night. Sleep is for the weak.
