1. Woke up this morning with a hangover headache....uh, I didn't drink last night, so what's up with that? Must be sinuses.

2. Mocha will be happy to know I'm not in shorts today, it's frickin cold in South LA too!

3. I saw my bro on TV last night. He's in Atlanta attending the SEC Championship game. They showed him with the group arriving at the hotel. Took a few seconds for it to register that it was him. GO LSU!!!

4. Today I want to finish cleaning downstairs and move my office.

5. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

1. My high school won the state football championship my senior year and it was a blast! Grace, your niece will remember that for the rest of her life!

2. Reader, DVDs do have caption, but I don't want to wait until August 2004 to see Return of the King!

3. After this, I am going to meet my sister and her kids at Chuck E. Cheese. I will probably be a little late because I have been posting all morning!

4. One of my cats is on my lap just purring away!

5. I wrote to Dogs for the Deaf, which I read about in a member folder per the Holiday Exchange thing, and someone wrote me back yesterday. If I qualify, I will be getting a Hearing Ear Dog!!! They are mailing me more information! I am so excited!

6. It will have to be a dog that gets along with cats, LOL!

1. I put our Christmas tree up today!
2. It's amazing that doing that put me in the Christmas Spirit! Finally!!
3. We are going to a "game feed" party today and I'm not sure what appropriate attire would be... camoflauge?
4. We are going to spend our Christmas with my son Michael,in the twin cities. This will be the first time he hosts a Christmas and he's very excited. He has finally got his life on track and wants to share that with us.
5. I'm so happy for him!!!
6. My cats and dog are stalking the Christmas tree... I suppose it will probably get knocked over before the end of the day.
7. Thank you everyone at TVCH for making another year filled with joy and friendship!

1. Herm: are the dogs coming from a training center in Jacksonville, OR? I know they have one there. Would be awesome to get one!! You go girl!

2. I hung up the outside lights ALL BY MYSELF this morning. Hubby was inside fixing a toilet. I am so proud of myself; I usually bug him to do it.

3. He is figuring out the extension cord configurations, however, as I can't figure out how to get them all plugged in safely and on a timer.

4. We are having sunny, pleasant weather. What is wrong with this picture. I'd love some (notice I said "some") of that snow falling on the East Coast.

5. I get to go to my Church's womens ministry Christmas party this afternoon. Should be fun.

6. Hubby and I are actually connecting and happy lately; feels nice.

7. Marriage is the hardest "job" I've ever had but oh so worth it.

8. I love my family and all you posters who take the time to check in and post. We are so blessed.

8 DD convinced DH to wake up and take her to a movie - Brother Bear, I wonder if dh is sleeping thru that?
9. I finished christmas shopping for DH's sisters, did i mention how much dh's sisters HATE me? I always get them a gift, and I hope they return it and use the money rather than pack it away and never use it! (I shop at their favorite store and try and be thoughtful - ie Crate and Barrell)

2. We have at least 7 inches of snow! Light fluffy stuff...great for skiing if I had the knees for skiing!

7. Reiki and I are going to NYC to hit the broadway lights on the 18-20th. YIPPEE.

8. I might go back again on the 25-27th, just because I can't go to see my family until Sunday.

9. It is finals week next week. I don't have all the papers graded yet, nor am I motivated to grade them. SHEESH!

1. I agree Jbean -- it's very disheartening that it's Monday tomorrow.

2. Schoolmarm -- I posted a note in your and Reiki's folders. I'll also be in NYC those days -- we should try to meet for coffee or something!

1. Whoo HOOO...Yankee...Reiki and I will make plans to meet with you. Maybe Friday for lunch? I have to leave after the Saturday matinee to get back for my church job.

2. Next week is finals week, thank goodness!

3. We had 8 inches of snow, but it is melting like the wicked witch. (Reiki and I are hoping to see "Wicked" while in New York, so I've been thinking Wizard of Oz quite a bit!)

1. Packing is now my #1 priority everyday. At this point I don't worry about cleaning the house. Just packing it up.
2. Unfortunately it leaves me little time for here or chat.
3. This move will either put me in bed for good or fix my back. I'm hoping for the latter.
4. At least I will lose weight. I call this my quick weight loss diet. Hey, it worked 4.5 years ago when we moved into this house.
5. Its way too cold here but no snow. Right now it is 20 degrees.
6. I'm really, really hoping that we can get the whole move done either before heavy snows come or we are given more time til after the snow has gone. Before is not at all likely. Hubby and I made a deal. Last time we moved I packed up 52 boxes of books and the moving company packed everything else. This time he is supposed to pack the books and I will pack as much as I can of everything else. If I can do 2 boxes a day that's 60 boxes in a month. And then all we'll have to worry about is moving the huge furniture. The smaller furniture we are moving over on DH's days off a few pieces at a time. Oh geez, I'm really sorry for this being such a long one. It just helps me get things in perspective to think out loud. If anyone has any moving tips I'd love to hear them. Love you all and Thanks for listening!!

1. My short trip with Larry was nice. He's a good friend, but I was really glad to be home again.

2. I got home to find out my step-mom's mother had a stroke and she and my dad are on their way to California right now to be with her.

3. They asked me if I would be willing to come and stay with them next month to take care of step-mom afer her gastric by-pass surgery, since her mom probably won't be able to like they planned. :(

4. Also, when I got home yesterday, I found a brand new TV in my room! On the box it said, "Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas." (My birthday is in March)

5. I think I'm getting used to being single, and am starting to enjoy it somewhat.

6. I'm getting over Brian, but I still think of him all the time, and still miss him. (sigh)

7. The anti-depressant is working - I can't even cry anymore when I get to feeling a little sad. I'm not sure if that is good or bad.

2.All because I was taking Merida. I would have thought it would be because of the morphine I take everyday.
3.Did you know that you have to off Merida for two weeks prior to your surgery?
4.I didn’t. GRRRRRR
5.Everybody in this house has the flu and pneumonia.
6.Accccckkkk.
7.I was a gorgeous day in spite of being bummed.
8.My friend has finished proofing my book!!!

1. I got called to sub yesterday for the first time. Well, second time because the first time was when my cousin got her tonsils out and
I couldn't go in because I was staying with her.

2. It was so much fun- I did high school social studies: Global Studies and American Government

3. Global Studies is a 9th grade course and since I did my student teaching last year at the middle school for the 8th grade...It was so fun to have about 5 kids I knew from student teaching in each 9th grade class I subbed for.

4. They were all extrodinarily well behaved. All of them. No problems. Amazing.

5. You know those plans for going up to mom's for Christmas? Might not happen anyway. My stepdad's mom- she's 94- she's not doing very well. They went to see her at Thanksgiving and my mom said she was helping her change clothes and noticed a huge black lump under her right breast. She's going downhill fast so all plans are on hold. They're going back down next weekend.

6. I've never met her, but my stepdad is the best so, I don't know. I mean she is 94- it's going to happen soon regardless. I guess I just hope it's quick and painless then.

7. My cute little red male betta, Max, died. He was old too. For a fish.

8. On a lighter note- all my Christmas cards are still sitting in front of me. I got pretty far- I just need some stamps.

9. It's such a beautiful day for being almost the middle of December- I think I'm going to go geocaching today. Bob will understand. Maybe a few others will. I'm obsessed with travel bugs :)

10. It's getting harder to go geocaching these days because I've pretty much found all of them within 40 miles of where I live.

1. I'm very excited because one week from today my youngest son will be on his way home to Canada from Germany where he has been working the past year with only one quick weekend trip home for a wedding. Can't wait to get my hands on him. :o)

1. I tried a new microwave popcorn for breakfast this morning - Cinnabon, with frosting and everything. Different, but good.

2. The next book for my book club is supposed to be The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. I really don't think that's a good book for this time of year. Too depressing. I need a different one. Any ideas?

1. We're anticipating snow here!! Whooohooo! sorry, Ginger and Mocha, I'm from the south and haven't lived anywhere where it snowed EVER in my life, so I feel like I'm about 7 years old

2. I'm trying to figure out if I should go ahead and go to work knowing that it will start snowing at any time and freeze over the wet roads. Yes, it has been raining over night and all of it will ice up soon. Did I mention that I've never driven on snow and don't even own a heavy coat?

3. I'm trying to decide whether or not I can afford the plastic surgery that I want. I need to get rid of the excess skin from my weight loss.

4. I have learned that chocolate soy milk is awesome! It is a great substitution since I drink so much milk.
