1. Mondays are my Fridays since I work weekends . . love Mondays . . I'm almost completely alone on this feeling.

2. I mowed the back yard today and sprayed every dandelion I could, til my shootin' finger was sore.

3. My sweet neighbor lady gave me a bunch of hostas that I still need to plant tomorrow.

4. When I woke up this afternoon, I opened my doors ( have glass/screen doors that lock ), made the coffee and was waiting for it to perk when the Kirby Vacuum Cleaner Nuts came knocking.

5. I was cranky, and just said no . . . they persisted . . I said no . . . they asked to come in ( and tried the freakin door ! ) and to use the phone . . I said no . . the elder nut said well, I never had that happen before ! I said, let's all pray for more, lol. Wish I had said Kirby Sucks . . . Dyson Rules, lol.

6. Had fun boxing up my nieces Easter goodies . . . purses with $$ . . candy, bunnies, plastic eggs with treats . . . so much fun to think of their faces . . . . and their parents when they see all that candy.

1. We had unexpected, unwanted company come in last week.

2. They hijacked the computer and the laptop without permission. Got our IP banned from a chatroom that I chat with my friend from Australia. I haven't had time to check some of the other areas I go to where I had the login and passwords saved on the laptop.

3. They critizized my cooking and treated me like a short order cook. Sorry but the rule is in my house if you don't like what I cook there's always peanut butter. [Had to stop myself for looking for some of that Peter Pan from a few weeks ago.] I was nice and handed them a phone book opened to the local restaraunts. I also marked the area where the motels are listed.

4. Thought they would stay at a motel as I was painting the bedroom so hubby slept on the couch and I slept on the love seat. Bed downstairs is full of boxes. No such luck, they slept on the floor. I didn't finish the bedroom on purpose. Bad me.

5. Today I caught both of them smoking in our family room downstairs. NOBODY smokes in my house. NOBODY. They know this. I wanted to take their cigs and flush them, but I didn't. I told them if they wanted to smoke they could leave. It's my house and NOBODY smokes in my house. If my mom were alive I wouldn't let her smoke in my house.

6. I caught one of them hitting Eddie. NOBODY hits my cats. NOBODY. I wanted to hit them, but I didn't.

7. They went to the casino, I packed their bags and put them on the front porch. I did not answer the door when they came back.

7.1 I'm not a happy camper. My hubby is not a happy camper. They better not come back or I will become the first true TVCH ax murderer.

1. That is a beautiful wedding dress that you made for your niece, SG.

2. Serate, I'm gobsmacked that anyone would be that insensitive and I am glad you kicked them out.

3. I am tired to the core, but having trouble falling asleep.

4. I'm sure it is everything running through my head re: the house.

5. Three more days until Spring Break! I can make it three more days.

6. I have a meeting after work and then I have to go to the grocery store to get fixins to make cheesecakes for work.

7. Plus I have been craving 4-bean salad (Thanks, Vacanick!) so I want to get the fixins for that, too.

8. I have also been craving egg salad. I don't know what's up with this!

1. Serate, life is too short, a serene homelife is too precious, and you were right on target to put their luggage on the front porch. Good going;

2. Supergranny, your creation is beautiful and I'm sure your niece felt like the princess she is on her wedding day because of it;

3. Herm, quit with the food talk I can't take it;

4. Colossus is disappointed in me and I don't blame him;

5. I am doggedly determined when I put my mind to something, and I decided we were going to do the cabbage soup diet to kick start his doctor's orders that he must lose weight NOW;

6. Day three of the diet I was dizzy, weak and felt like all the blood had drained from my veins;

7. I know Colossus felt the same way, but I was the one who buckled first and said we needed something more substantial than cabbage soup, fruit and vegetables;

8. This was after I kicked Colossus in the butt every time he looked sideways at a cracker for the previous three days;

9. So we had some dry, shredded, skinless chicken with dinner last night and we both felt a bit better today. Right back on the diet. I still suck and Colossus is still shocked that I admitted weakness. Hey, he paid for the chicken, I don't know why I'M the only one who's ashamed.

9.1 Oh and PS he's the one who admitted that after I went to bed Sunday night a frozen pizza almost fell out of the refrigerator and into the oven. By accident, of course.

1. I really like BBQ...some of you know that already...I have ribs in the oven right now!

2. I was proctoring a masters comprehensive exam this evening and the tornado sirens went off. We had an interesting little break in the basement hall.

3. I got to clean up cat urp for the first time. Thank you, Ellie.

4. I mowed the marsh that used to be my yard yesterday.

5. Because of that, I had a Benedryl day today. ARGG!

6. My aunt made the dresses for my wedding party.

7. I designed mine, but my mom made it, since I sewed the first seam "ALL WRONG"....heck, I designed, it...shouldn't I have known how to sew it?

8. The dress got 2nd place at the State Fair.

9. I have lots of music to practice for Holy Week and Easter. YIKES!

10. I am going to England on Monday! WHOO HOO!

1. Yay for Kit smiling, and a beautiful smile it is.

2. Serate, if all you did was put their stuff on the porch, you are a better woman than me.

3. Less than 2 months til my baby girl graduates from high school ... where did the time go? Senior Pics in my folder ... sigh

1. It snowed. It was 80 degrees last Monday and here it is snowing. Okay, well, it "dusted" really, but the white cold stuff is on the ground and I can see it. Not so much as at my mom's though. Poor mom. She really has had enough (I'm sure you understand if you've seen any of her winter/Lake Superior pictures that I've posted)... This is yesterday.



2. My mom is obsessed with April Fool's Day. Her tricks are well thought out and elaborate. You'd think she spends the whole year planning them. I mean, they're simple, but she has it all planned and tied together...like an episode of Lost that doesn't make sense until they want it tie together and neatly make sense. I've had to point out to her that April Fools Day is a DAY, not a month, because she was still at it yesterday. She makes me laugh :-)

3. I'm thinking I have to go back to school. I graduated close to 4 years ago now and I'm so sick opf there being no jobs. I mean, there are a few but not very many really (jobs for Social Studies, middle and high school) and the ones that do get posted want you to be a coach or else they probably already have someone lined up but legally they have to post it. I'm always hearing about people getting jobs because mom or dad or aunt or whoever are somehow connected to the school or district. There's a new sub where I mainly sub at this year. He's Social Studies too but just graduated. Betcha he gets the next open job there- he graduated from there and his mom is a English teacher. Not fair. So I'm thinking I need to start working on my Master's (I need to take 6 credits to renew my license next year anyway) and I'm thinking probably Special Ed. I was thinking the Counseling program, but there doesn't seem to be much demand for that and I can't spend the years and the money to be in the same boat I'm in right now. I've wasted the last 4 years of my life is what I feel like. It's kinda depressing.

4. Oh let's see...what else can I babble about for awhile? I don't really have a whole lot else going on. I took a different position at UPS- basically the same as I was doing before but a little more work and I get an extra $1 an hour for it. That's kinda nice. I mean, I don't really notice, but it can't hurt, right? I already get about a third (maybe more) of my check deducted between my union dues, 401K deduction, and stock option deduction. Oh yeah...and taxes.

Happy Easter everyone (early in case I miss it)....





(Oh yeah, this isn't an update is it? Haha)

3a. Kaili, Social studies alone is very hard to break into. My brother graduated almost 5 years ago with the same. He is currently teaching special ed in a middle school. Seems (like you said) you have to be a coach for sure to teach social studies. But having connections does not always get you in. My mom was a social studies teachers for years. (She retired a year ago.) She was way popular. Anyways, I don't know if she could have gotten my bro in if she tried to, but she did not. Also my dad is a principal and he has not gotten my bro in at his school. So if it makes you feel better, connections are not always the answer. But you masters is. In fact, even if you did get a SS teaching job, you'd want to get the masters anyways so your pay would increase... (Oh yeah, my brother is just now going back for his masters. I think it is an 18 month program.)

1. The unwanted guests were my husband's brother and the thing he married.

2. I wanted to do more than I did, before I did, but since they are hubby's family I was trying to be nice to "family".

3. Oh wait according to them we're no longer part of the family.

4. We're in good company because we are the last of the brothers and sisters [6 siblings] to not be a part of the family.

5. I think we should take up a collection [with the other no longer family members] so hubby's brother, wife, and kids can change there name to his wife's maiden name so they don't have to be "ashamed" to be related to his brothers and sisters who are no longer a part of the family.

1. Oh my, Serate. They sound like real pieces of work. So sorry you no longer family members with them!

2. Last week we had Spring Break. My 17 year old niece came and stayed with us for a couple days. She never comes to visit us, so it was fun having her here. I just can't believe she is graduating this year.

3. After she left we went to my mom and dad's house for a few days. They only live about 3 1/2 hours away, but it seems like they always come to visit us, we hadn't been to their house since last spring break.

4. It's always weird to go "home". Whenever I am there all these memories come flooding back.

5. My mom's birthday is on April Fool's Day. When my grandma went into labor the hospital called my grandpa at work and he didn't believe them at first. He thought it was a joke.

6. It may be close to 80 degrees here on Friday. Yay!!

1.1 Serate, I just can't believe grown ups would hit a cat and smoke in someone's house. What a couple of A-holes.

I would have had my pointy boots on, and putting it in their patooties.

I have no problem being "un-nice" to DH's family when the situation calls for it and vice versa for him with my family. Sometimes you have to be tough.

1. I just got the courage to post again after my ambien gaff.

2. I feel like an idiot, LOL!

3. Ambien works but I believe the stories about taking it and driving now.

4. It is very cool here, and windy. It stormed all night.

5. Serate, brother-in-law or not, I think you showed remarkable restraint. Anyone who dared touch my dog would probably end up missing a few fingers.

6. Someone just came and looked at my mobile home, cross your fingers for me that they buy it.

7. Also cross your fingers that we'll be able to buy the new one we want but that's a month or so away.

1. Good luck, Cheri. I'm trying to sell my townhouse, so I'm in the same boat.

2. We will probably have two Open Houses-- this Saturday and next.

3. The President of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance came and talked to me today to see if we could have a "Lunch in the Library" event the day after the "Day of Silence."

4. I told her of course they could. They are either going to have a speaker or a discussion. I've mentioned this many times before, but one of our teachers was a cousin of Matthew Shephard and he has spoken before about Matthew. They are going to ask him to speak again.

5. I LOVE oranges, but for some reason, I absolutely hate having to peel them. I need to find me a gorgeous man who will satisfy my every whim, including the peeling of my oranges.

6. Spring break is next week. Hurrah! I can stay up late and sleep in!

7. We had a practice lockdown today when I was in a classroom helping set up a video beam to play a movie. I ended being stuck in the classroom all of 2nd period, but we watched Henry VIII so it was actually fun and it made me want to read some more about him.

8. I think I am going to put some subtle blonde highlights in my hair.
