1. I'm so happy that Gracie's son is coming home. My thoughts will be on him for a safe journey home. 2. Have been making plans for Spring break the end of March. 3. We are going to Port Aransas Texas and staying at SandCastle Resort. 4. I can't wait to walk on the beach again and sit and watch the waves. 5. I hope to visit with a few folks from Texas on my way though. 6. Or they could come visit us at the resort and we could have a get together. 7. {{Spy}} needs to come on vacation with me to Texas at the end of March.

((((((spymom)))))), drink some champagne (at least 1 bottle), i guarantee it will make you feel better, if only temporarily! not1worry, i work at a place that remanufactures engines for diesels and large agricultural tractors. normally i am building waterpumps for them, but mon-wed, i was loaned out to the "small machining" part which is right by a dock door (with no heat lamp above because there is a hoist there instead). kalli works for ups on the loading dock. (she has it way worse than me in wisconsin in the negative temps)

1. Gracie, I hope your son has/had a nice, safe trip home. 2. Spy if you feel like exploding, give me a holler, I'm always willing to listen. 3. I think the Ducky family should take Spy on vacation...can I go to??? 4. Very exciting news today (ok, for me, LOL.) Dakota has been practicing for months on counting to 100 to make it into the 100's club. for the past few weeks, she's been doing it flawlessly at home, but gets to school and has trouble. 5. Today, her teacher asked if anyone wanted to count to her. Kota was the first one there. She counted, got lost at 60, came over to me and practiced some more. 6. Then she went back and asked her teacher if she could do it again. 7. She did it perfectly!!!! She is the 9th kid in her class to make it into the 100's club. 3 other children also made it today and when they were done the rest of the class clapped and cheered for them. I thought poor Kota would run away in embarrassment. 8. So tonight, we're going to take the kids to dinner to celebrate...she chose Red Lobster, LOL.

1. I just took a Xanax for Spy. 2. Okay, it was a 1/2 Xanax for me. 3. It's crazy in town due to the overwhelming response to being Jake Delhomme's hometown. 4. The Tourist Office has sold over 4,000 "We Love Jake!" yard signs and have ordered 1,200 more for tomorrow morning. 5. The influx of press seems to have died down. Some of the reporters started calling back today saying they don't have anything to do (they don't have access to the players) and want to come back here until Sunday, LOL. That's how much fun they had here the first time they came. 6. We're 4 hours east from Houston, so it is very feasible they will come back. 7. We cannot buy the publicity we have received the last week. Woohoo for tourism! 8. CBS confirmed today they will be live from Mulate's in my hometown during the game. 9. Look for me, I'll be the one in a black sweater and panther blue feather boa! Maybe I should have a "TVCH loves Jake (Everyone except Adven)" sign?

1. Work was actually not that bad last night- except getting asked if I would be able to get up if I fell over. Yeah, I looked like a bundled little kid- LOL. 2. I subbed yesterday ao I didn't get to go buy my new fish stuff (plants and little caves, etc). I will today, but subbing was sooo much fun yesterday. It was 6th grade science and they were so cute and so very, very different from the 12th grade classes I was doing on Monday. 3. My mom is freezing. Her little Ole is freezing too. How cute is this? But I guess it turns out they don't work. my mom said they were wet and frozen within 5 minutes. 4. I'm watching my cousin's dog (Simon) again this weekend- she flew up to Minneapolis. I let him out and the poor little guy was so cold he turned to jump back inside and he pretty much flew into the sliding glass door. heehee 5. I hate the filter I bought for the fish tank. it's one of those fancy bio-wheeel ones and it's so loud. Waterfall in the apartment. I hink I'm going to get one just like my other one since then I could use the same filter cartridges for both. 6. I might drain and move the tank too because it's...well, it's in a good location in terms of being out of the way and by an outlet, but I can't see it from the living room and I like to watch my little fish. 7. Think I can get a fish clipart added? Froggiegirl got a frog. Fly got a fly. Actually I don't care, but it would be fun. A cute smiley little green or blue one please! 8. I already checked! My car started this morning. It was a little bit of a hard start, but it did it. Maybe it's the bottle of Heet I dumped in the gas tank yesterday. 9. I'm so excited for tomorrow. I'm going to Koreana- one of my new favorite resturaunts- again tomorrow. It's always been here, but I never went before about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Oh it is good. I got Korean Barbeque with tofu and the meals all come with these little side dishes and this tea- it's corn and either hops or barley tea and I love it. I want to know where I can get some (besides at the resturaunt). 10. I'm going to have a very busy day I think. I didn't take Simon home with me last night so I have to go get him, then go to Sam's Club for his food (she left $40 and said to keep the change- good deal, eh?), go to the pet store, do dishes, and maybe move the tank. It took two hours to get it in place though so maybe I'll just stick with it where it is.

1) ROFL....That doggy is too cute Kaili! I know what you mean about that darn filter too! We have one in our fish tank and it drives me crazy! A few years back we used to have two salt water tanks. One was in the living room and our extra "medic" tank was in our bedroom. I literally went nuts listening to that thing all night long. You know how many extra trips to the bathroom those things cause!? DH used to say "but its soothing" yah, right.....

I'll have to count the pages, but I filled a 2" 3 ring binder, it wont hold no more, thank goodness for the internet!! 3.

I. I waited til now to take Herc out because (a) we took a late walk last night, and (b) I'd hoped the temperature would rise. Sorry, but 14 degrees doesn't sound inviting even knowing your temps are so much worse. But the temp hasn't budged for an hour. <Sigh> 2. Hope Gracie will let us know when her son arrives. Give him an extra hug from us, would you, Gracie? 3. AAh. You guys beat me. Adding to my post quickly here. I agree about the doggie boots. Though they do protect their feet from salt--used too much around where I live. 4. I am patiently (NOT) waiting for word about my job prospects.

1. I hope Kaili gets her little fishy clipart. I think when I asked for a frog, Neil made me look for some clipart off the internet and then email them to him. I guess maybe you should ask him what you'd need to do to get that cute fishy! 2. Well, I booked the hall for my reception. Yeah! October 22, 2005...mark your calendars! 3. Only had a half day at work today, which was HEAVEN! Now I'm off until Tuesday. 4. Went to get my nails beautified today (still showing off my ring!) and put a deposit down on my bridesmaid dress for my cousins wedding in October...she picked an awesome dress, thank God! 5. We're going to visit the soon-to-be in-laws tonight, and they're taking us out to dinner to celebrate our engagement. Fun, fun, fun!

1. Yay Froggie! Got that picture yet? 2. TGIF everyone! 3. In case you can't tell, today is a much better day in SpyLand. 4. Class was great last night, the issue with one of the students in crisis has been addressed, and my supervisee's suicide threat is now in in-patient treatment. Yippee! 5. I paid bills this morning (boooo). The gasoline bill from the holiday travel, along with the risiduals from Christmas, my first car payment coming due, and Henry's trip to the vet mean there is absolutely no extra SpyMoney this month. 6. But I'm still thankful that all the bills are paid and I have a great job. And - for the first time in several weeks - I'm healthy! Happy Survivor and Superbowl Weekend!

Spy, I'm still waiting on my parents to send it to me. Of course, I'd be better off just going over there and looking for it myself. They have no clue that lives hang in the balance here, lol!

1. My brother-in-law sent us a gift card for Christmas to buy ourselves Emergency Roadside Kits. He couldn't buy and ship them to us directly because they include flares. I went to buy them today and they were on clearance, so they were really cheap, I ended up buying new First Aid Kit too and still have extra money left. Yay! 2. Our power flashed last night because of all the wind, I guess that back up batteries in the alarm clock aren't working because it never went off. We didn't wake up until after 7:00 and it has totally messed up my day. 3. Because of the errands I had to run today, I didn't get to exercise this morning. Ugh. 4. I can't wait for Survivor on Sunday! 5. I am going to make Pork with Carmelized onions for dinner. Yum. 6. My daughter is supposed to be sleeping and I can still hear her talking in her crib. This day is so messed up. 7. I hope everyone has a GREAT Weekend!

1. Gracie, glad your son is safe and sound and made it home! YAY!!! His children's reactions were sooo sweet. Thanks for sharing. I take it your ds's home state is different from yours. 2. I didn't get the job I wanted. Found out today. 3. I did get a half step closer to another job. Telephone interview on Monday, Groundhog Day. 4. We're supposed to get more snow on Tuesday by mid-day. 5. This year is a Leap Year, which means we have an extra day added to February in order to synchronize it with the timing of the seasons. 6. Wonder if Spygirl ever has a gnosh night in her class. Might be fun. 7. Forgot to wish Twiggy a Happy Birthday. Going to go visit her folder next!! 8. My doc agreed to take me off one of my arthritis meds (cuz I couldn't tell if was having any effect) and instead prescribe Naproxen for my back pain. So glad. It's really helping. 9. Watching Dateline, sort of, while writing this. Real life is stranger than fiction is all I can say.

1. Gracie, so glad you're son made it home safe and sound! 2. HP, I'm sory about the job not working out for you. 3. I've been buying the kids a new outfit about every two weeks since Christmas. Caleb was outgrowing all his jeans, again, and Dakota had a closet full of pink, purple, and baby blue clothes. 4. I'm sick of pink, purple, and baby blue colors, and knit pants, so my goal with her clothes has been to get her girly girl stuff that is different. I've been having fun with her clothes, lol. 5. Caleb's a bit more difficult. Why the heck is it so hard to find nice looking jeans that fit little boys well? The big thing now for boys, I guess, is baggy. Caleb's too thin to look right in baggy jeans. Always looks like we just couldn't find clothes that don't fit him, lol. 6. My sis loved her Clay Aiken cd I got her for her birthday. She said she saw the box and thought I'd picked her up a book she wanted, and was disappointed when she realized it was too light to be a book. 7. She's one of those people who can figure out what presents are by shaking them, so it's fun to be able to suprise her. 8. I am almost completely used to my new glasses. Second night with no headache and feeling tired/straining eyes. I still have to be careful because when I walk I feel a little off. Clumsy enough that I don't need anything else to help me fall over. 9. I'm doing major house cleaning tomorrow. Or maybe Sunday. I'll decide tomorrow, LOL. My bug guy's coming out next Tuesday, so I'd like to have everything nice and neat and ready for him. 10. Goofy MOW decided to work in the morning. He's been sick for three days and is worn out, so he volunteers to go in at 4am in the morning. That means he has to be up at 2am to have time to shower, eat breakfast, and get to work. Silly man, I predict tomorrow he'll spend most of the day sleeping.

1. I can't seem to sleep again, so I'm reading the board. What would I do without TVCH?? 2. I have a bachelorette party to go to tonight. I'm not in the mood to go out in this cold, stay up late, or watch a bunch of intoxicated people act silly. I must be getting old, or sick!!

1. OK, I just got woken up by Colossus - he had me wrapped up with his arms and legs so I couldn't get away while he sang "What's New, Pussycat?" in my ear. LOLOL. 2. He also told me it's the start of the anniversary of my birthday week, and he made an appointment this morning for me to get my hair cut and color done, and we're going out tonight so dress sexy (read: NO JEANS!!). 'tay . 3. Now he's feeding me Bailey's for breakfast. I better get a nap this afternoon or I'll be no good by nightfall, and Granny will finally get her chance with my man. Which is fine if she wants to wear the thigh high boots because I prefer waders in this kind of weather. It's -10 for real here, I have NO idea what the windchill is. 3.5 Hi, RG - I never liked bachelorette parties, either - I'd rather go to the bachelor's party.
