1. I need to take another nap, and will as soon as my students who are weatherstripping and hanging the Christmas lights leave.

2. I am applying for faculty positions and I agree that the application process is grueling

3. I am also on the search committee for a faculty position at my university and I KNOW what search committees do....giggle at the applications and try to find a way to weed them down to a manageable pile of, say 10 for a short list.

4. This knowledge makes it REALLY hard to mail off my own applications.

5. I am applying at universities in Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin and maybe Oregon.

6. I am wondering if Spy and I will land jobs in nearby! (SPY...email me!)

7. I tried water skiing once and it was a disaster. My brother's skis were for people with really big feet, and I couldn't get balanced.

8. I wear a size 5 1/2 shoe

9. I have lots of Beanie Babies...I teach with them.

10. I have lots of Yu-Gi-Oh cards...I bribe my piano students with them.

11. I loved the two Harry Potter movies.

12. I just found out that I have to revise my dissertation AGAIN.

13. I'm trying to keep a good attitude about that.

14. I had to go to Walmart for more Christmas lights this morning and the place was PACKED. Amazing!

1. I'm curious about Bryan's TVCH Darling Candidates!

2. I am an even huger (I know, not really a word) procrastinator than Bookie.

3. My one dog would have been a good politician if he were human. He is the master manipulator, and can win anyone over when he flashes his big grin.

4. I think my other dog may have been a dolphin in a prior life. A few clues lead to it.

5. My politician dog also may have been a cat in a prior life.

6. Both dogs had a traumatic experience with a singing frog their first Christmas.

1. I like Cici's $2.99 pizza buffet.

4. There is one thing I wanted to get made for my family for Christmas.

1. The only time I had the opportunity to try water-skiing, I was too afraid to do it.
2. I did attempt, however, to enjoy being dragged behind the speeding boat while in an inner-tube.
3. I nearly drowned during this experience.
4. My m-i-l "mistook" my frantically waving for them to CUT THE MOTOR for a signal that I was having FUN and wanted them to speed up!
5. We were on a lake, so I was afraid to just let go of the inner-tube, for fear of getting ensnarled underwater by something on the lake's bottom.
6. If it weren't for my husband, I'd have drowned that day; I'd swallowed half the lake, couldn't get up onto the inner-tube, wouldn't let go, and the life vest was forcing water into my face.
7. I will never again attempt a watersport beyond mere swimming--in a pool.
8. Despite this attempt on my life, I do love the water and am a decent swimmer.

1)I always find a way to spoil my husbands gifts to me. I just opened my mail and there was an email from amazon confirming his order. He didnt realize the account goes to my address. I opened it because I, too, ordered something.

2) I will obsess over it and feel guilty all night

3) He'll give the "don't worry. It's not that big a deal" and I'll feel worse

4) customers who come in at 4:19 when you open the restaurant at 5:00 and ask to be served and leave mad when you offer them to wait at the bar till 5,when the kitchen will be ready, pisses me off!!!

5) I wait till my hubby gets home at 6am, go to bed then and we wake up at 2- every day

6) I am obsessed with John Edward.

7) I thought about taking some online courses to fill my nights seeing as all I do is play games and listen to ABBA, but it would cost $42,000 to get my bachelors!!! A little too much for a time filler. Back to bingo go...

8) My husband and I both hyphenated our names.

1. I went water skiing once, all day long, got water blisters and sunburn for the first time in my life, and have never water skiied again.
2. I went snow skiing once, all day long, fell more than stayed upright, loved it and have never done it again
3. I went tobaggoning once, all afternoon til dark, however walking back up the hill took most of the time and I only went down the hill about three times total
4. I've taken tennis lessons three times, not because I couldn't play but because I wanted someone to play with
5. I believe ghosts are spirits, I believe in spirits, and I believe there are good and bad spirits in all our lives
6. I also had a car with a spirit. Whenever my sister visited, which was rare, she would badmouth my car and my car wouldn't even click let alone start. I had to wait until she left then talk to my car and tell my car how my sister's comments didn't matter one whit, because we knew how wonderful the car was, and then my car would start as though nothing had taken place. This happened more than once.
7. Ooooo, am I on the list for TVCH darling?
8. I like Cici's buffet, but I hate the overdone mushy fake-smile loud greetings at the door
9. We're finally finished painting and now I have to go 'load' the room

1. I am a 'risk taker'
2. I cannot dance even if there is no one watching
3. I say women shouldn't be expected to change their last names when they marry
4. I have never barked at a Christmas tree but have many times howled at a moon
5. I say there is a much deeper meaning to the fact that someone would want to dangle at the end of a rope, whether it is rappelling, water skiing, rock climbing or make mention of the existence a TVCH darling
6. I would rather crawl across a busy freeway than express a cat's anal glands, either one has to be fatal
7. I always get a kick out of how Bill Clinton could play with words and what people would hear him say
8. If I am voting in a political race and do not really know either candidate well, I will vote for a woman before I will the man
9. I think someone who would start a thread by posting someone else's writing on an often emotionally debated topic and does not personally comment on the subject is usually the same person that would fart in a crowded public place and stand back to watch folks walk through the 'cloud'
10. I have very good 'bar tending' skills
11. It is time to go make myself a drink

1. I'm wondering why in the world ANYONE would express a cat's anal glands! Sounds yucky.

2. It is snowing. This morning was little tiny snowball pellets. Tonight it is regular flakes.

3. I dislike party politics...and the political machines that drive the platforms.

4. I am feeling really good today. Finally!

5. I need to grade another bunch of papers tonight, but I have the exam written that I'm giving tomorrow afternoon.

6. I MUST be the biggest procrastinator on this board, if not in the world!

7. I have two nieces and a nephew and an ex-step nephew who hangs around.

8. I really liked the HBO show "Live from Bagdad".

9. I watched it three times...stayed up WAY too late watching the West Coast HBO.

10. I usually sleep on the sofa.

11. I have a really beautiful Queen-sized Cherry Four-Poster Bed.

12. If I got remarried (let's change that to WHEN...you know, positive thinking, etc.) I don't think that I will change my name. I changed it the first time and changed back to my birth name when we were divorced.
