1. I'm happy for Cjr's revelation with her boys "coming together" moment. That's so sweet.

2. I hope Dr. Marm's students do well in their piano recitals tomorrow.

3. I remember when my kidlets had their piano recitals - 20 in all for each because they took piano for 10 years and had a Spring & Winter Recital.

4. I also remember being the piano nazi and subtly encouraging them to practice their piano!

5. I'm so glad those days are now over!! Whewwwww

6. They are glad those days are now over too.

7. And they have admitted that playing piano brings serenity to their hectic lives.

8. And guess what? I don't know how to play piano, LOL!

9. So I'm glad that my kidlets have this lifetime gift.

1. I'm so touched by all of the supportive posts about my defense that everyone left for me.

2. I have to make a title change and pay a professional editor to review my document, but I do not have to make any revisions whatsoever.

3. I went out of town this weekend with TVCH friends (I love Urgrace, hubby, and son!!), offline friends, and family.

4. We went to a Japanese steakhouse for dinner last night. I ordered sushi.

5. I do not like sushi.

6. I netted $115 in winnings playing the slots this weekend.

7. There is a new Trivial Pursuit slot machine that I LOVED! (go figure)

8. I didn't drink a thing last night, though I had a freezing cold corona with lime as soon as my defense was over, the gift of a terrific friend. When I got back in town an hour ago, I went to one of the drive-thru liquor stores and got a frozen drink. I've had half of it and can barely see to type this. I'm gonna need a nap before the SNL finale tonight with Reiki and Hippyt.

9. My parents gave me money to spend in NYC (yay!), and two of my friends gave me the most awesome gifts ever. One bought me a beautiful throw blanket with my full name, title, and the university's name where I'm working starting in the fall monogrammed in the corners and the blanket is in the school's colors. The other was a beautiful desk set (clock, pen holder, post-it note holder, and business card holder) with my name and title engraved into the pieces.

10. The last of the gifts will upset all of the people going to Minnesota to Resortgirl's.....I am the proud owner of the electronic version of....Catch Phrase.

1. ELECTRONIC Catch Phrase????!!! Well, well, I'm glad I'm going to Munich instead of Minnesota! SPINSTER! Lazy....fata$$ (let's see, what were the rest of them??) Oh, my, I can just here the buzzer now. Shiiiit, Lance I'm sorry (from Merlin).

2. The memories of last years Minnesota trip and that night of CatchPhrase have brought a grin to my face!

3. The opera singer was impressive tonight, but he skipped several measures several times, and it was hard to stay with him. I think that only the other music teachers could tell. (I hope!)

1. Took a walk around the city streets today, and it was pleasant with its stillness of shades revealing the summer that is soon to arrive.

2. Received some new/old music in the mail from my dearest best friend. It was her playing when she was about 16.

3. My skyline is shut behind heavy thick velvet curtains, and I sit sipping some warm tea with an old book enjoying the quietness of this Sunday.

4. This is the view from our patio looking into one of our homes. We lived here during the summer months.

1. it has been a pretty uneventful weekend...which is definitley a good thing.

2. i changed my nose stud yesterday. i'll be honest..it hurt. the post on the new stud is a little bigger than the starter one i had in, so it took a few "tries" to get it in.

3. i talked on the phone to the high school friend i ran into at the bar the other night. i am glad to be back in touch with her.

4. was supposed to go to movies with alterego friend this weekend, but it doesn't look like it is going to happen.

1. I watched the season finales of Survivor and Charmed last Sunday, and was disappointed in both.

2. I'm going to watch the finale of Bachelor tonight, and hope I won't be disappointed.

3. My parents have been home for a week, and so far we aren't getting on each other's nerves.

4. I made pot roast for dinner today. It was Mom's Mother's Day dinner a week late.

5. I think Spygirl is very brave for trying sushi. You couldn't pay me enough to even try it.

6. I cannot wait for the premiere of The Amazing Race. It's been way too long since the last one.

7. My dryer has been making loud noises and I hope it doesn't die on me.

8. I'm looking forward to next weekend cuz it's the only three day weekend I get all year without having to find someone to cover my shift.

1. I have to admit that I liked everything except the seaweed wrap. I'll never be able to get used to that taste because the smell is horrendous.

2. Once I picked it all apart (which is very culturally rude, I'm sure), it tasted excellent. Especially with a little bit of wasabi sauce on it.

3. I am excited because Hippyt just called me from the James Taylor concert. She's gonna call back later when he sings "Fire & Rain"

4. I am waiting to hear from a couple of Mary Kay customers before placing my order. If anyone else needs anything, email me! I have a website you can look at, too.

5. Today I got a lot of little things done that I've been needing to do for a while. It felt good.

6. I took my winnings to Walmart today and bought groceries, a new iron (i've been using my broken one for months now), and some other much needed things. It was great to pay cash.

7. My major professor and I chose a final title for my dissertation today. It is The search for balance and integration: An ethnographic study exploring the experiences of women’s Internet relationships

8. Something not many people know about me is that me and my dad went to college together - even took two classes together - and graduated the same day. One of the classes we took was Astronomy. That was cool because we got to share all of our moon and star charts.

9. I speak Spanish and lived in Mexico studying the language one summer in college. I just learned of a program in Costa Rica where you can get a month of intensive one-on-one language training for a relatively cheap price. I may do that next summer.

1. Hi everyone! Thanks for the nice words. The paintings are from an artist that I funded for a few years while he stayed here in the US. I was his Secretary and Curator and Mom basically.

2. I also received drawing classes for two years through his guidance.

3. To me, he is probably one of the most amazing artists of all time. Plus, he is a wonderful person. He always treated me with dignity and the utmost respect.

1. My sister took my neice and walked to the convience store on the corner this morning. She held the door open for a guy running out.

2. Only when she walked in and saw the clerk did she realize that she had held the door open for an armed robber.

3. You would have to know my sister to know her luck with this kind of thing. She's been the victim of two robberies (both times involving guns) while working in fast food and once had her apartment broken into where her panties were stolen.

4. On a happy note, she invited me to her first OB appointment tomorrow. If all goes well (and my neice behaves) we will get to listen to the baby's heart beat. If not, I'll bring my neice and kota home.

3. My best friend came to visit last weekend, she brought her 3 girls and a friend and they were all sick...now my kids are sick too.
4. I am not happy about that.
5. My husband gave me a gift certificate to a spa for Mother's Day, it was wonderful. I really want to go back.
6. I planted a ton of flowers in containers on my deck yesterday and they are beautiful! I hope they survive.

8. The city water authority knocked on my door and wanted me to flush an orange pellet down my toilet. When I plopped it in, it turned the water florescent green. STRANGE!
9. I must have birds with diarrea! There is bird poop all over the place, and I wish that our torrential rain would wash more of it away!
