hugs to ((((((((goddessatlaw)))))))))))...if you know it was right to break it off, you will have no regrets, still it is tough....good luck.

1. heyitslori's first 5 facts pertain to me also.

2. think this week's movie may be the jlo "maid in manhattan". except i am still a little scared of ralph fiennes after seeing red dragon :(

3. i had another wild night last night. it was fun though!

4. i am so tired tonight from partying 2 nights in a row, i will be going to bed shortly, i can't believe i am still up actually.

5. i actually wrote out my christmas cards tonight and will send them out tomorrow. this will be the first year that i have actually MAILED them!

6. the last 2 years i wrote all my cards out and never sent them.....i hate to buy stamps.....i do most of my bill paying either online or by phone, because of it!

7. i graduated from college, have a B.A. in business administration. i went to a work college.

8. i wanted to go to cosmetology school, but was told that wasn't "good enough". i still want to go. i don't feel that i was really cut out for college.

9. however, i am glad that i went because i met a friend there that will be a lifelong friend....more like a sister actually.

10. i try to look at "unpleasant" experiences as paths crossing. for example, i HATE the job that i have now, but again, i met another lifelong friend there, if i hadn't come to work there, i never would have known that person!


sorry if this didn't make much sense, i am exhausted!

Just hearing Jimi Hendrix, minus the painting, is a religious experience (are you experienced?) I'm envious of your climb - that's a story for a lifetime. I met the Dalai in Bloomington years ago, but I didn't work for it like you did, and I'm Catholic, so the religious experience as per him didn't attach. I admire him as a holy man, though.

1. I've met the Dalai in Bloomington, too, Goddess!

2. I've eaten at his brother's Tibetan restaurant, (Snow Lion) several times.

3. It's the only Tibetan restaurant in the US outside of NYC.

4. I'm sending Goddess a big hug and an "atta girl" for her bravery in breaking her on and off again relationship.

5. I'm left handed.

6. Everything is white and frosty this morning. BEAUTIFUL!

7. I will begrudgingly robe up for commencement this afternoon...only becuase I have a great group of eight future music teachers graduating.

8. I would rather be taking a nap, since I'm exhausted. (or grading papers!)

9. I usually get up really early...somewhere between 5 and 6, without an alarm clock.

10. I thought that #9 was strange 6-7 years ago, and had a hard time waking that early when I was in my 20s and early 30s.

11. I have four built-in bookcases and six free-standing bookcases in my house and they are all full.

Lyn: Does the "panic dance" resemble the "potty dance" - you know, the one where kids stomp around and grab themselves because they waited too long to go to the bathroom (said dance spanning the distance from their original position, on to the bathroom and in front of the toilet while they try to get their clothes off)? Your list is great.

Lyn, I loved you list. It reminded me of so many times with my son, and yes, your son sounds one heck of guy. Lets give him a hug! {{Jay}}

1. My two daughters are as different as night and day.

2. My daughters have the same sense of humor as my husband.

3. The oldest daughter is 31, divorced and the mother of the three most awesome grandchildren.

4. The youngest is 26 and divorcing after being wed one year, thankfully there are no children.

5. Surprisingly, the girls like to spend time together.

6. The oldest likes to tell people they are twins...even though they do not look alike.

7. It upsets the younger one to no end when people believe the thing about being twins!

8. They love to tease each other...(they are their father's daughters).

9. They are going out tonight with another girlfriend.

10. The girlfriend called the younger one to tell her to be prepared...her older sister just got a pierced lip this afternoon and has a hoop in her lip!

11. Younger sister called me earlier and is having a hissy fit, thinking older sister is off her rocker, on the road to ruin, has spoiled Christmas, is an embarassment to the family, is setting a poor example for her children, and is in need of serious therapy!

12. I just got called again from the restaurant to try and talk some sense into my otherwise sensible daughter.

13. Older daughter proceeds to let me in on the "joke". She plans to keep the joke going until later tonight.

14. I advised her to tell her sister ASAP unless she wants to get hurt. When I tell her how upset little sister is ...she realizes that the joke has gone on long enough.

15. She shows little sister ...said "hoop"...is actually..a fAKE!

16. Big sister wisely keeps me on the phone for several minutes to keep from being harmed.

17. Meanwhile, their Dad is laughing his butt off!

Mary, substitute teaching is not an everyday kind of job so he will keep looking for something permanent but for now its at least some income.

Cyn, your friend and my friend worked together in Georgia. That is the reason my friend got assylum here in the US. He now lives in Queens. His wife and daughter were allowed to join him for fear of their lives too. Cyn, we need to talk.

Do you have an email listed somewhere, though?
Leave brief message in my folder.

ps. it's just it's too sad to muck up the board with.

Goddessatlaw, the Panic Dance and the Potty Dance are very similar...he spent time going from one foot to the other while deciding which direction to go (hands holding the cartridge away from him, then close to him, away, close). Too funny. We were going to get hard wood floors a few years down the road but now I get to have them sooner :)

Webkitty, I'll make sure to pass along your hug (I love to see him squirm)
