1. The weather has been just the best this week, and it's spring break so I'm off all day long. Yay 1.5, Congrats Spygirl! How excited are you?! 2. I know Tess reads in here, so I'm tagging Tess in here

1. My parents are coming to visit this weekend, too! So, I'm even more excited. 2. I'm excited they are coming, but they are also bringing me my tanning bed (that I've never been able to have because it is sooooooo difficult to move)! 3. I'm a sungoddess (skip the lecture - I've heard it ) and it costs a lot more to tan where I live now than it did in any other city I've ever lived - over 1/3 more expensive.

1. YAY for spy! 2. I've been tanning a bit too. I know it's not great for me... but better then burning the first time it's hot here and I spend the day outside. 3. My son is coming to visit this weekend and bringing his new puppy! It's a pomeranian like Sophie... so I'm excited to see "both" of them! 4. I've talked my wonderful husband into taking us out for Easter Dinner... so I have nothing to plan except spending time with my loved ones!

1. I'm jealous of Spy that she has her OWN personal tanning bed. I've been trying to convince my FI to buy us one (yes, he likes to tan a few times a year too) but he doesn't think we'd have room. Hello! We have a partially finished basement that is practically empty. Maybe one day he'll agree... 2. I have a haircut appointment at 12:30 and I really want to cancel. I love the way she cuts my hair but HATE the way the styles it. I can never run errands or be out in public after I get a haircut. Always have to come home to restyle my hair it's that bad. Maybe I'm just too picky about my hair? 3. I'm dying to go out tonight but don't think it's going to happen. Hopefully we'll get to do something fun this weekend since last weekend I had to work and it was a total wash. 4. I'm not liking the shoes I bought to go with my Easter outfit, so I'm hoping to exchange them sometime before Sunday...if I can find other ones that I like! 5. I need to make a dessert to take to my parents house for Easter Dinner. I'm not a very good baker and don't want to be a slave to the oven or stove...any suggestions???

1. I'm wondering if Spy will secretly go out and dig a shovelful of dirt up for her groundbreaking event! (say hello to your mom and dad for me, DrSpy!) 2. I'm hoping all the sick kidlets, human and notsohuman, are getting better today. 3. I am waiting for a delivery of a new teak futon for my crafts room. My kids are coming to visit and have no beds to sleep in, I didn't want a large bed in that room, so I compromised and got the full futon so it will only take up the space of a twin bed 4. I need to go get my hair done, but have to be patient and wait for the delivery 5. I chased a 'possum away in the middle of the night last night and brought all my kitties inside for safety 6. I wish I was ready for my trip next week but am not, and I am getting butterflies just thinking about how much fun it will be. My car scared me on Tuesday so I took it to my trusted mechanic. It was dust build up on my brakes which he cleaned up and didn't charge me a cent! My car has the 'all clear' for the road trip!

1. I haven't been in here in awhile. 2. In the last 6 weeks, I have gotten increasingly more involved with someone. It is new terrirtory for me. I haven't let anyone come close in five years. 3. He's the most amazing person. 4. I don't want to talk about it too much because I feel, on some level, that I will jinx it if I do. Knock on wood. 5. I'm on spring break and will be leaving in about an hour to go visit my parents in the mountains. 6. I hope everyone is well and happy! I'm sorry not to respond on a more personal level to anyone and hope to catch up soon after I get my breath again. 7. My computer went offline and by the time I got back on, Grace had beaten me! HAPPY SPRING!

1. Wagging my finger at Spy. 2. Froggie, that's not uncommon, I usually restyle after my guy too. 3. How wonderful Herm! 4. Got a phone call at 8 from my dh saying his car completely died in the middle of the freeway and thank god he was able to coast to the shoulder!!! yikes! i called a wrecker and went and got him, he wanted to wait for the wrecker so there we sat on the side of the busiest freeway in Houston! 5. Now I am stranded at home with no car and I have a bunch of errands to run! 6. I have worked so hard on this Easter egg hunt thing and now it's supposed to rain! 7. Kids said "well, we can just do it in the house!" Oh joy 8. This being a fun mom is just too hard...going back to the mean mom!

1. I got my hair done, and thankfully she styled it relatively decent that I was able to go get my nails done afterwards! No pit stops at home to fix the do...yippee! 2. I love getting my nails done. They make my hands look 100% better and my fingers look not so stubby. 3. It's an expensive thing to get addicted to, imo. Pretty soon the bi-weekly nail appointments will have to give way to my much needed tanning sessions. Somethings gotta give and it will not be my pasty white legs! 4. It's an icky day here, and I believe they're calling for this rainy weather through Tuesday. What's that saying - "April showers bring May flowers"? I sure hope so...my rose bushes are looking pretty sad. 5. When DO roses bloom anyway? I have no clue about gardening. 6. My FI is supposed to be stopping at Blockbuster to get me "Cheaper By The Dozen". Hope it's good, it sure looks funny! 7. I'm starving! Haven't eaten yet today. Bad girl, I know! I think I'll have some left over pasta with meat sauce. Yum! 8. Found out this morning that our local radio station is giving away two Prince tickets each day for the next week or so. I MUST try to win some! 9. I hope everyone has a Happy Easter and gets lots of yummy sweets from the Easter Bunny!!!

I guess it is my turn! 1. There is no way I can come up with 10 facts today, I should have just avoided this thread! 2. I went to the mall again today and bought more undies!! Yea!! 3. I also bought my daughter some hair clips and tights. 4. I bought my son a Mickey Mouse shirt on sale at the Disney store of $4. 5. I also bought a new head band for myself. 6. I joined a local online moms group and I really hope it works out because I need to get a life. 7. I found out that the church that has the Easter Egg Hunt that we were going to go to actually had their celebration last weekend. 8. We will most likely end up at one that has 50 million kids at it. 9. Froggie, depends on where you live, but roses start blooming in early summer usually. 10. I made it to 10!!!!

1. Just finished Maundy Thursday services where I conducted a combined choir AND did a 20 minute recital of 20th century organ pieces. I'm pooped! But this is the hardest service of Holy Week....Easter will be a piece of cake compared to tonight! 2. Thank goodness I practiced late last night. They closed the highway down on my way home and I had to take an unfamiliar detour. There was a fatal head-on accident. Two people died. I'm glad that I was not in a hurry to get home, or I may have been in that accident.

1. On my way to the park today for a walk, I saw Lance at the highschool track, and pulled into the parking lot, and went in and walked a little ways to meet him, then gave him a big hug. He was really sweaty too. LOL! 2. I've been doing the singles thing lately, going to dinners, breakfasts, walks, and even went and watched them bowl, since I am not allowed to lift anything over 5 lbs. 3. Doing the online dating thing, and getting tons of emails... some from around the world. It's crazy, I tell ya! Entertaining too.

I finally realized this fact: Even humorous putdowns of a spouse on msg boards leads to disrespect. The women who start threads have begun to make fun of their spouses and even when funny, they have to notice, men quite rarely initiate msg boards to diss their wives? Is it a sign of insecure women wanting to laugh at male foibles, or a sign they are tired of their spouse or a hint that their spouse is outgrowing them? I can see laughing over an ex or old boyfriends, but the mate you're with, nah.. It bothers me, I can't really put my finger on it.. I just come away thinking posters are unhappy and hiding that behind humor to find comrades who also make fun of husbands.. Does it serve a useful purpose if you are happily married, to knock your spouse? Just a free expression thought!

1. i got to go out last night, and as usual, we had a lot of fun. it was so funny that a lot of people asked us where we had been. we hadn't been in like a month! 2. i got up at 7 to try to win tickets from the radio station, to yet another concert. this time, dierks bentley will be at a local bar on wednesday. i don't like him enough to pay to see him, so we are only going if one of us can win tickets. the only time they give them away is at 7:10, and i couldn't even get through! 3. i was out of soda, and needed it desperately, so went to the covenience store and got some, now here i am. tired and should go back to bed since I CAN! 4. i miss the carefree days of not be scared to death of tanning beds. my mole experience changed that. not lecturing anyone here, but just want to tell you guys to be careful. 4.1113 i got volunteered by a guy at work to do the american cancer soceity relay for life. i don't mind doing it, because i have lost some pretty close people to cancer, but i didn't realize that i have to raise at least $100 for the event, and pay a $10 entry fee. lucky for me, i have over a month to raise the money. 4.3333 i am taking my friend out to nakato (japanese steak house) tomorrow night. that place is my favorite! YUM!

1. I slept for 9 hours last night and I'm still dragging ass; 2. We have a busy weekend with my cousin coming to visit and Colossus' sister turning 50; 3. Parties and whatnot; 4. My ducks are all sitting on nests, so I haven't seen them for awhile except for Hans, Gertrude and The Boyfriend. Next time I see them, I should have a bunch of little babies to to talk about; 5. Unfortunately, Colossus counted 7 hawks (at least) circling our waterway last night. I will be going down to the reservoir to feed the ducklings this year instead of having them come up to our deck.

1. Hey Gal!! Just over a month till Chicago... Hi Jbean! Glad you had fun last night. Sage, very cool that you ran into Lance. MarmRoadWarrior, I hope you have a wonderful Easter. 2. Today is overcast, chilly, and rainy. We're supposed to get storms, too. Blech. 3. I have a client in a 1/2 hour. Didn't realize it was a holiday when I scheduled the intake. That'll teach me to look at the calendar first next time. 4. Some students approached me after class last night and reported that there is a group who is most likely plagarizing a paper from a previous year for the class I'm currently teaching (they are in groups of 5-6 and are writing one paper per group). 5. It is such an easy assignment...why would they cheat? It is disappointing and odd - this is the good cohort group 6. The very sad part is this...if they do plagarize, I am forced to fail them for this course. If they fail this course, they do not graduate next month and will not finish this program. How stupid would they be to risk their entire master's program this close to completion?? <sigh>

1. It's gorgeous today, but rain is supposed to move in tonite. 2. My son is heading out to play golf with my dad in a little while. 3. My dh and I are going out with some friends to a new Greek restaurant. OPA!!! 4. Can I still vent about my kids or does that mean I have grown tired of them too? 5. Spy, I sure hope they didn't plagerize too. That is a rather stupid thing to do. 6. We went over to my dad's and his wife's house last night for dinner. My poor dd got all teary eyed seeing all the changes she had made to the house. 7. I understand the need to make the house her home too, but it makes me teary eyed too. Very weird to not recognize the home you grew up in.

{{{texannie}}}} 1. Spy, I sure hope that those kids didn't plagarize too! 2. I have definitely overdone my exercising this week. I'm stiff and sore and feel like crap! 3. I have to go measure a house for some wood blinds today. 4. I have to clean my messy house today. 5. I have laundry to do today. 6. I wish it was going to be a nicer weekend so I could spend some time outside, but we may be getting snow this weekend. Yuck 7. I should be doing all my chores right now, but just don't have the energy. 8. I need some chocolate

Spy, do you see this group again before they turn in their papers? If so, maybe you could give a strong, generalized lecture on plaguerism without targeting the group. A simple but direct reminder of the ramifications in not a "this might happen" but a "this WILL happen" fashion. Then let the chips fall where they may. Sorry to hear about this situation, though - college-age students can be very myopic. PS can't wait to see you again in Chicago.

1.Ok,I survived the Lil Diva's Chuck E Cheese birthday party. 2. It was a lot of fun. Lil Diva got up and shook her bootie while the Chuckster sang a Kool and the Gang song. 3.She got enough gifts for three 4 year olds. 4.One gift was a make up set her insane mother bought her. 5.The boys gave her a make-over,now she looks like a 4 year old streetwalker. 6.I just realized I never even got any cake! 7.I took a ton of pictures though. 8.Now,on to dying Easter eggs. 9.Best overheard quote of the day from 8 year old Thomas: "If you have one girlfriend,and you go out and get another,then you have two. Both of them are gonna slap you in the face."
