Mygetaway | Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 09:06 pm     1. I'm addicted to the Eagle Cam, and I'm getting nothing else done. But I'm so happy that we might finally have babies! 2. I did however get 3 months worth of filing done today in between watching. 3. I got some more good news today. It looks like our refi is finally going through. The lady we were working with was giving me the run around because she was changing companies. Luckily the new one is on top of it, and the rates are still down. 4. This should save us some major money, and make things a little easier. 5. The African violet I "named" after something on the board towards the end of last year is thriving. It actually has all new flowers budding. I've never had one rebud. 6. My dogs are waiting patiently for my son to come home from work. He's been bringing home leftover/garbage steaks from the dishroom. They are SO spoiled!! (I did 6 since Midlifer started over.. ) |
Sukii1 | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 04:09 am     1. I haven't checked the board in a week, been so busy..WOW there's a lot to read! 2. I'm thoroughly enjoying classes being out. I'd forgotten what it was like to relax. 3. I'm having another garage sale today. Last week we made $120, this week we're selling the leftovers and I'll be lucky to make 5.00. 4. I've been in contact with my cooperating teacher for student teaching and she seems like a gem. Please please please please.... 5. War..OMG, how scary about the running robber. I've walked in on someone robbing me before, it's a terrifying thing. Marm...congrats on the tenure!! 6. I have never played Catch Phrase, but it sounds like a blast! 7. I need to get moving before someone stops to buy something and I'm still in the shower. |
Goddessatlaw | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 07:21 am     1. MM and I have a pair of mallard friends, Hans and Gertrude, and they generally run around with a sad bachelor buddy who can't get a date; 2. I thought there was only one other mallard hen on the pond; she came up a few weeks ago with 7 little duckies and a mean husband who keeps getting beat up. I know him from the feathers sticking straight up on his back. I call them Myrtle and Walter. 3. I thought Gertrude showed up with a brood of 8 tiny duckies two days ago, but it turned out to be a new hen I'd never seen. She brought her little ones right up to me to show them off and get some corn. I call her Hortense. Her husband is abusive to her and the kids - I call him the *******. Hortense is a little sweetheart, with her striped eyes and trusting disposition. 4. This morning, I thought Myrtle had lost a few of her chicks - she only showed up with five at my step. Turns out it was another new hen I'd never seen, and she'd gotten word of mouth that a generous corn benefactor lived at the MM residence. She's also extremely sweet and a good mommy. I will call her Nene. If her husband come around, I will call him Tupps. 5. Things got pretty hairy about an hour ago when the three mommies and their 20 ducklings positioned themselves off our deck looking to be corned. I managed to keep them separated, but there was some pecking going on. The male mallards caused the trouble - the chicks were getting along just fine. 6. In the meantime, Hans and Gertrude and their third wheel smartly nuzzled in for a nap around front away from the fray - they'd already had their private corning early in the morning. They are my favorites, but are not lucky enough to have any babies yet. 7. While all this was happening, the geese squared off in their own version of West Side Story, only it was the North end geese against the South end geese. They beelined at each other to the center of the reservoir and quite a barney ensued, complete with honking, barking, biting, and flapping wings. The rumble lasted about 2 minutes, then they beelined back to their separate corners. The male mallards circled the fol-de-rol and lobbed insults from the periphery. I kept expecting a mambo to break out. 8. I'm digging life on the reservoir this spring, but think I'd better invest in corn stock. 9. I'll write about the beavers later - they're causing quite a controversy. The herons, woodpeckers and squirrels have all posed nicely for pictures with MM, too. I wish I knew how to post pictures - the ducklings are mighty photogenic. |
Schoolmarm | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 10:04 am     1. I just finished my grading. WHEW! 2. Now I suppose I should hit the shower and get dressed before I start teaching at 2:30 LOL! 3. Get to interview temporary instructors tomorrow morning...other than that, I have the day OFF!! WHOO HOO!! 4. It is nice and cool again today. I wish it would heat up just a little bit. 5. I've been trying to watch Six Feet Under all week, and I keep falling asleep! I hope it reruns again. 6. I only have to teach for 3 hours today! WHOO HOO again! 7. I think that I will go to the outlet mall and brave the Memorial Day crowds on Saturday. Or maybe go to the Music store in Pittsburgh. 8. This feeling for going shopping is unusual for me! 9. I repotted my tomato seedlings and I have 16 little plants that came up. That will be A LOT of tomatoes. 10. I certainly enjoyed the wine that Lance sent me! He has EXCELLENT taste! (so did the wine!) |
Ladytex | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 10:11 am     1. LOL GAL, I loved your list! Keep me posted, I'm now drawn into the feathered friend soap. |
Bob2112 | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 10:15 am     1. I saw a duck on the way to work today. 2. No, wait, it was a goose. |
Ducky | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 10:21 am     1. Are you sure it wasn't a duck Bob? 2. Ducks are my best friends. 3. This is my first time posting in this thread, and I read it everyday. |
Babyruth | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 10:24 am     1. duck 2. duck 3. duck 4. goose! <gooses Bob and runs> |
Wargod | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 10:27 am     <wondering if Bob ran around in a circle?> 1. Had girl's day yesterday with my sister and our girls. We went to lunch and then to see Piglet's Big Movie. We had fun. 2.It's hitting the mid 90's here this week. Kota gets to play outside in the morning, then has to come in until the evening. She's got about half an hour left before I declare it too hot outside. 3. I need to watch my tape of last nights AI. 4. You guys beat me to 3 and 4, LOL! 5. I'm going to the renaissance faire this weekend and can not wait for it. |
Schoolmarm | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 10:33 am     1. I wish that I could go with War to the renaissance faire. I love renaissance fairs! 2. Wishing War could send a few degrees of temperature my way. 3. I just may start cleaning my office today. It's a real pile o'papers! 4. Really getting excited about the TVCH NYC trip! 5. Life is GOOD! 6. HAHAHA! when I typed #5, I typed life is FOOD! Guess it's time to eat lunch! |

Spygirl | Thursday, May 22, 2003 - 11:18 am     1. I just got back from lunch. I'm experiencing serious post-lunch sleepiness. 2. My dissertation was dropped off to the professional editor this morning. I'll have it back the day before I leave for NYC. 3. I, too, am getting very very very excited about the trip! 4. I can't wait to see what Broadway show Marm picks out for us to see. 5. I wish I had money (and the clothes) to go to the Tony Awards while in NYC, but geez....who has that kind of money lying around!? 6. My car goes back to the body shop on Monday to have the entire paint job re-done. It was a horrid job. 7. If they do not fix it right this time, I'm asking for all of my money back - insurance check and deductible. I'd put the money on the balance of the car and keep the crappy paint job. 8. It is weird to know that there is nothing new to watch on TV tonight. What's weirder is to know that I do not have a dissertation to work on. What ever will I do with my time? |
Ladytex | Friday, May 23, 2003 - 06:06 am     sneaking in to say ...
TGIF!! |
Squaredsc | Friday, May 23, 2003 - 06:15 am     woo hoo... |
Schoolmarm | Friday, May 23, 2003 - 07:08 am     1. Last night was my first night since the dissertation defense that I didn't have dissertation, performance, rehearsal, company and SHOOT, there was nada on TV to watch. 2. I spent early evening grilling porkchops YUM! 3. I also watered all my flower gardens and the tomatoes. Everything looks really good! 4. It rained last night, so I didn't really need to water the flowers, except for the containers on the porch. 5. Been spending the morning trying to figure out whether I should park and ride the train in from somewhere in New Jersey, or just park the car across the hotel in Manhattan for $20 a day. Any help out there? Google search didn't help much. 6. I also washed all the bird poop off my car. I don't know WHERE these birds are or WHAT they are eating, but it is getting really annoying. 7. Had another glass of yummy Reisling wine last night with some Nilla wafers for desert. 8. Get to interview candidates for a temporary job today. I suppose I ought to get dressed! LOL, they are phone interviews, but I'm doing them with our orchestra director or otherwise I would just stay in my jammies and do it from home. 9. Ok, nine and ten are going to be hard. Hmmm lets see...I fell asleep early and got up late! It was a much needed night of rest. 10. I've been trying to get into chat for a few days and the applet won't load. PHOOEY! Have a great weekend, everyone! |

Mware | Friday, May 23, 2003 - 11:36 am     1. If it was me, Bob, I'd be more concerned that I typed the D. 2. I'm supposed to go see the Red Sox play at Fenway this weekend, but the forecast is for rain. 3. This is a game my friend is taking me to as a makeup for the Opening Day game we went to that was rained out.  |
Spygirl | Friday, May 23, 2003 - 11:54 am     1. I'm bored at work. 2. I have no plans for the weekend and I have nothing to do. What an awesome feeling. 3. Maybe I'll go rent the 429 movies I have been wanting to watch over the last 5 years but didn't have time for. Oh yeah....that money thing. Maybe I'll go home and start on the stack of books I've been dying to read. Yeah, that's it! 4. I shipped out Mary Kay today! All of my wonderful customers should have their stuff by Tuesday! I LOVE selling Mary Kay. I could have saved a lot in student loan debt if I had done that instead of grad school. I could probably make more money, too. |

The darn apt. complex lawn crew are disturbing the peace and the pollen so I can't hear the birds and have to close the house up. 5.

My town is crawling with reporters today as it is the last day of school here and we have had like the shortest school year in the whole country. |
