1. {{{Twinks}}}} I'm afraid that I lose friends because my career is just too dang busy right now!

2. It is snowing! I (and my bulbs) thought that spring was here. SHOOT!

3. I guess that I will get the winter coat out for (hopefully) one last day.

4. I have to meet with an accreditation officer today. I have no clue what to expect.

5. I'm trying to be brave enough to let my piano students' parents know that I'm raising my rates in May after I get my doctorate. I'm $3 per 30 minutes less than the other faculty. Maybe that's why I have 18 students and they only have a handful.

6. I'm really hoping that Survivor is back on Thursday this week.

Awww Twinkie! I hope that things get better for you too! I think I lose friends because I DON"T hold anything back. I probably should go into hiding more often... hang in there!!

Twinks, we all have our own way of dealing with things, and real friends should try to understand that. ((((Twinks))))

1. I am almost entirely finished with my results chapter in my dissertation! I'm waiting for some emails back from participants before I can tie up the last two or three points. I am on schedule for the mid-May defense.

2. I took my dogs to the vet today for vaccinations. I forgot how expensive all that stuff is - $182!

3. Today was my mom's birthday. She's 51. I sent her a new watch that she wanted. She took herself to play Bingo. No word on any birthday loot.

4. My brother, who lives in Nashville, just completed writing 4 songs he is going to cut on a demo. He's trying to get a recording contract and a writing deal. He sang the songs to me on the phone last night and I was very touched. He's so talented it amazes me sometimes.

5. We also talked about Nashville Stars and American Idol. We both agreed that Carmen is actually the worst singer of all the AI finalists - and that comes from a guy who has been singing professionally for almost 3 years and has been singing and getting voice training since he was 6 years old.

6. hehehehehe...he also said that if Ruben wears another area code jersey, he is gonna rip it off and stuff it up his nose. image I thought that was funny. He loves his voice, though. Just hates the shirts.

7. My parents told me last night that they are coming down to celebrate after the defense is over. It is gonna be a big par-tay!

1. i haven't slept well for the last 2 nights....i really hate that feeling. makes me drag @ss all day long.

2. my friend that i hadn't seen for 2 months actually didn't cancel on our dinner together last night. it was so great to see her.

3. i got a strip of bangs added to my hair on sunday, and i'm not sure how i feel about them just yet. i'm thinking i may go back and get the rest cut, too.

4. i like the little blonde girl's (chloe) hair on smallville, and think that is the new cut that i want.

5. this is going to sound really mean, but i am so glad to see that corey is leaving american idol! i NEVER have liked his voice, and thought that he should have left before julia demato. jmho.

6. also don't like carmen's voice, but it seems the rest of the american public (minus a few people here, and my alterego friend) really do. at least she seems like a sweet kid.

7. the kid with the razor scooter has still been riding that stupid thing late at night. grrrrrr!

8. i feel like i am starting to catch a cold. that makes me SO UNHAPPY! probably b/c it is 30 degrees here one day and 70 the next!


hope everyone has a great day!

1. I haven't watched American Idol or much of Star Search. I get to hear "I'm a star" wannabes all day, so I need a break from that!

2. I'm feeling healthy today!

3. Results of my lab work were good, I think. Thyroid is normal and blood sugar is low (70). WHEW, no diabetes yet.

4. The nurse was getting all huffy about my "bad cholesterol"...it's at 139. That doesn't seem that high to me!

5. I will start exercising a little more and cutting down on the french fries, I suppose...I'm already on the low/no sugar diet.

6. NOT giving up my steaks or ribs!

7. I don't want to go to work today, but I will, and it won't be THAT bad.

8. I get to spend all of my "break" time in the next three weeks listening to elementary education majors sing. They think that I'm very mean for making them sing by themselves. CRIPES, they can dub a tape for practicing, and no one else will hear them in the privacy of my office. And it's not like they have to sing anything HARD...just kindergarten songs and they will have to croak out "Happy Birthday." They get sooooooo stressed out about this.

9. They will thank me later....so I just need to get out my emotional armor for the next three weeks.

1. The plumber just found a root in my pipe! That might be good news, but may not, LOL.

2. An amazing coincidence...my sister had all her plumbing back up yesterday, today she is getting her main sewer line replaced!

3. I'm tired of plumbing problems.

4. The insurance adjuster was here this morning. They will do nothing to fix the pipe, but are sending a check to cover the tile and vanity in the bathroom, and to replace my entire carpet (hall and living room) even though only the hall carpet is ruined. Something about it all being the same.

5. Darrens been home now for four days...despite the problems with plumbing its been nice having him home and seeing him get to spend time with the kids.

6. I feel so lost on the boards, I'm not sure where I should start to get caught up.

7. The kids spent this weekend playing outside at my sisters. Dakota came home sunburned to a crisp (with the use of sunscreen!) and Caleb came home a gorgeous tan.

8. Our weather is extremelly odd. Yesterday was in the 80's, today in the very low 70's with lots of wind.

9. Plumber's done...heard him say he got further this time than last time, so our drainage should be a bit better, though still not great.

10. I'm going to teach Dakota to ride a two wheel bike today...she's excited, I'm nervous!

1. I'm excited about Kota learing to ride a two-wheeler!

Hehe, Lady, I'm having visions of the emergency room, doctors visits, and broken bones. I'm sure she'll do just fine though and I'm being a bit over-anxious about it.

1. LOL, War...thekid IS at emergency RIGHT NOW! I am praying she didn't break her foot! She fell on the stairs this afternoon. DH came home early to take her. Don't worry about the bike, watch out for stairs!

2. Also, I am so glad the insurance is picking up the cost of the carpet, tile and vanity for you!!!! That has to help a little!

3. Thankfully, just a VERY bad sprain.

Woo hoo, Kstme!! I am so glad to hear that. Will she be off work, or is she stubborn enough to go in anyways???

Kstme, that's good news! War, good luck with the bike training!

You guys are the greatest! Thanks for all the hugs!

1. I'm happy to report I did my first actual lessons during prestudent teaching with 2nd graders and they did NOT eat me alive! :) I'm such a dork. It all fell into place when I got up in front of the class, and reminded me that that's exactly where I want to be.

2. One student gave me a piece of candy and another drew me a picture...how funny those two little gifts give me such warm fuzzies :). They call me Mrs. Sprout (which is fairly close to my actual last name, but it just cracks me up to hear "Sprout").

3. The weather has been fanTABulous here..I'm actually excited about getting out and riding the mower for a few hours!

4. I'm wondering how War is doing with the two-wheeler training. My 4 1/2 year old dd still is not keen on letting go of training wheels, let alone moving the training wheels higher so she gets the "feeling" of riding on 2 wheels...I'm not sure how to move her along..Good luck to War and Kota!! Get those bandaids ready! :)

1. Can't wait to hear about the bike riding! Hoping all of War's plumbing problems quickly go away for a long, long time after this is all over.
2. Sending extra armor to Schoolmarm! Good luck!
3. I am so happy for Sukii1. Sounds like you are well on your way to happiness!
3a. So glad to hear all of Spy's good news! Sounds like all things are moving in the right direction!
4. I've got the best parents in the whole wide world! My dad sat with me for 3 hrs in the Quick Care last night with my ankle. BTW, they need to rename that place. My mom took care of stuff, gave me ice packs and lots o' love.
5. Even with a sprained foot I will be at the baseball game tomorrow night to watch my team's opener!

I tried to keep this to five, but there is a lot of good news in here and it's so nice to hear! Still sending Happy Thoughts for those that need them.

1. LOL...love thekid's(maesin) sense of humor!
2. She looks like "Limping Lately" with crutches!
3. We've got MAJOR wind today.
4. I love it!
5. I bought a Sussex Spaniel bookmark from eBay yesterday.
6. I can't wait to get it!!!

1. I've got extra crutches, and an assortment of knee braces I could send to Maesin or Dakota if the next fall twists the knee!

2. CONGRATS to Sukii!! I love watching teachers "being born"

3. This mornings song hearings went pretty well, but some are taking longer than their alloted ten minutes! ACK!

4. We had an inch of snow with ice yesterday, today it is 70 degrees! What weather

5. I have really strange things happening with students....several hospitalized, two had surgery, one had a baby, one is in the psych ward, one had a fire at her house, and two are probably getting called up for duty. They are all great students, and I hope they can finish the semester.

6. I'm giving another organ recital tonight! Two more after this one.

7. I will be very glad to get to the weekend, as I'm directing an elementary songfest all day on Friday.

1. I am thinking about taking back all the nice things I said about Mom.
2. Nah, she is still the coolest.
3. Then again...
4. Thanks for the offer Schoolmarm, fortunately I already have all the equipment for injuries. Not that I have *ever* done this before...
5. I have way to much time on my hands and am getting cabin fever already.
6. I fixed the nail polish I ruined yesterday (again on the stairs) and had the time to do it right so for once it looks good.
7. The dogs think I want to play with them all the time because I am going around the house on my knees. They poor things are a little confused. Maggie is a little peeved at me because she can't sleep on my bed at all.
8. Gotta get out of here, Mariners game is on in 5 minutes!

1. Sending out healing vibes to Maesin....I'm usually the one to fall down things, so for once, I can say, "It wasn't me!"

2. Marm, keep that equipment handy, I may need it.

3. Woo hoo, Sukii! Knew you'd do well with the kids....some people are born to teach!

4. My house needs such a thourough cleaning right now it's so not funny. I've got three kids who want out to play, and hubby home and can't get anything done at all!

5. Of course, having a lazy day didn't help, but I was awake at 5am....what else am I supposed to do?

6. Tomorrow I have so much work to do, but I'll live I guess.

7. I was looking forward to AI, but heard it wasn't that great tonight....sigh.

8. I need to find an icon for the Amazing Race game...will either do that tonight or tomorrow morning.

9. Kids are begging for dinner...I swear, all they've done today i eat.

Ok looks like I'm up for 10...

1) I've never been out of the country

2) I've never been multi-orgasmic

3) I've never comprehended the concept of relaxation though it is my goal in life...

4) I've never cheated physcially in a relationship ... sorta did once mentally..but I was young and niave and had no clue that could happen so that wasn't my little fault.

5) I've never felt deep down comfy with who I am as a person, even when my self esteem was at it's best.

6) I will always do unto others as I'd have done unto myself...

7) I will always believe I am "saved" - cause according to the bible I am.. so that's that.

8) I will always have the 'groundhog day' fantasy.. I invented it so many years before that movie. (Being able to freeze time and learn all there is to know and read every book ever written and then ... it's the next day... trust me I invented this one.. lol.

9) I will always remember TVCH and the people here.. and the fun times I've had here.

10) I will never forgive anyone for lying about me in a hurtful way. It's the worst thing anyone could ever do. (not mentioning this in reference to one particular thing it just came out in listing facts...)

When I first started posting in TVCH I thought that perhaps chat was the best way to get to know everyone. BUT for some reason I am having a very difficult time loading it...so decided that this thread may be the next best thing. It seems that I'm always a minute to late...to start all the races, but gradually I'll get the hang of all of it. So here is a fact or two about me...

1) I'm 47 years old, single and the mother of three. And if you want me to go on and on for hours just ask me about them.

2) I've been a nurse for longer than I've been a mom....26 years now.

3) In my spare time...which isn't much, I love to read, attend all my sons sporting events, active in my church, and will have played classical piano for years.

4) My interest in music is varied...and it ranges from country, to classical to rock and roll.

5) I'm content spending a quiet evening at home by myself or dancing to the light of day with my friends.

6) Friends....I've been blessed. Too many to count. They have been there for me during the last five years when I thought that my world was simply falling apart.

7) Things that are important to me....my children and my family, and spending as much time with them as I can...which brings me to:

8) Things that make me sad....this war, and all the loss of lives. My mom just recently was diagnosed with cancer. I've been a Hospice nurse for years, and I'm having a very difficult time being on "this side of the fence".

9) Things that make me happy....spending time with my family and friends. For those of you that have read the Five Love Languages, my love language is quality time. The simple things in life...a rainbow, thunderstorm, or whispering in the dark. AND helping to plan my sons wedding for the summer of 2004.

10) And what makes me nervous?? Knowing that after this Saturday my youngest will be another teenager out on the road!!

God Bless you all....Bobbie

1. Welcome Bobbie! Great post :)
