1. Today, I went to Fred Meyer's and was looking at the clearance rack of jewelry that was way marked down.

2. I was looking at the rings, and was trying a bunch of them on, just for the heck of it. I put this one ring on my finger and then when I tried to take it off, it wouldn't budge.

3. I tugged and tugged and tugged, and it was hurting so bad because the underside of the ring wasn't solid, but it was hollow and the edges were real sharp. When I finally got it off, thinking I must be doing some real damage to my finger.

4. I looked, and sure enough, it had made a nice gouge and lifted the skin. Man, it hurt like hell!

5. I ended up having to buy some bandaids and am wearing a bandaid ring instead! LOL, I just can't believe how much that injured my finger. Heck, the ring was the usual size I wear, so I have no idea why it got stuck.

6. I also made an investment in some quality paints today. There's a ceramic shop here in town, and I've been thinking for almost a year now, that I need to go there and buy up some paint to replace the shitty quality paint that I have.

7. I wasn't going to buy too much, thinking maybe 6 to 10 bottles, but when the owner told me they were going out of business, and the paints were marked down, I ended up buying 34 bottles of paint for a tidy sum of 53 dolloars!

8. I can't believe I spent that much, but heck, I had to seize the opportunity in front of me. I guess that was my big ticket item for the month. I'm just so happy now to have all these nice paints in such a variety of colors.

1. My heat is fixed at work and is working better than ever. instead od being 45 with the heat in- it was 57! Yay.

2. We have a ton of snow. Everything is closed down- even the universities and it's still coming down. We still have a winter storm warning until noon. By the end uf the storm they expect 8-10 inches.

3. I'm so sad about the little girl in Florida. Her body was found :-(

4. My naughty fish managed to pull a bunch of plants up last night so they're all floating right now. The tank top is at my shoulder level so it's going to be a pain to replant them.

5. I went to TJ Maxx and the Gap yesterday and got 3 new pairs of pants for teaching and a sweater.

6. I love it when they have my size in clearance. I went to Old Navy first because there's this one pair of pants I have wanted forever but they never have my size. They always have too small and too big, or (rare even for this) they have my size but in long or regular and I need short. Or, ummm, I guess they like to call it "ankle length".

7. I saw an article in the paper that a girl I work with at UPS's unit was attacked in Iraq. She's been gone since April and she's Civil Affairs so you don't expect them to be attacked. Their Major is a teacher in the district I sub at- he was hurt. He has shrapnel in his jaw and arm that can't be removed and he also has cartilidge damage. Scary- I hope they get to come home soon.

8. It sounds like Sage had a fun day yesterday causing trouble at the ring store (LOL) and buying new stuff. that's always fun :-)

9. I'm also very hapy that my TVCH mom is going to be okay. Yay for Momma Eggie :-)

1. Kaili, I'm sad about the little Florida girl too...sigh...

2. I heard some good news last night though!

3. DS#2 (my baby kidlet) is a freshmen Communications major and he got accepted into a radio broadcasting course by lottery.

4. Apparently it's unusual for freshman to qualify this early for this class but he met the requirements and literally won the lottery.

5. So he'll be a DJ for the college radio station at an assigned time and day this semester. He's thrilled and looking forward to learning from this perspective!

6. DD, who's working on her Masters/Credentialing courses, is still bummed about not getting into the sub pool. However, she's still got her waitressing job and has picked up 3 tutoring clients.

7. I say it's all good, as long as she can pay her rent...LOL!

8. I've returned to my Curves workouts this week and it amazes me at how much I've improved using those machines. I feel so much stronger!

9. I was invited to go see a play called "Love Letters" on Saturday night with sister. I hear it's a tear jerker and I'm not sure I'm up to it, but I'll go anyway because my sister asked and I love my sister.

10. I'm soooo glad it's Friday - yay!
Everyone have a good day and a great weekend ahead!!

1. Good news.....no strike! We have a tentative settlement. I don't know what it is, but it is a HUGE relief!

Wish the weather would be better. Freezing rain, rain, snow, sleet you name it we've got it! I'm hoping the 5 foot long icicles will melt before I lose the gutter!

1. After several weeks of coughing like a very old man, I think I'm just about over my bronchitis. It molds my cheese that I never had bronchitis once, but since I quit smoking I've had bronchial pneumonia last summer and now bronchitis

2. I want Reader to know that her birthday gifts are very similar to mine. I got my new driver's license and when my dh handed me my new license tag for my car he said, "Happy Birthday" A new car would have been a much better present, I think!

1. My gawd, I can't believe this week is finally over. PTL, PTL;

2. I feel as if I've run five different marathons, one for each weekday;

3. Miss Eggie, I'm so glad to hear that all will be well - and I truly hope the procedures you must endure are none too difficult;

4. Hopefully by the time we get to Vegas you'll be ready to swing off the chandeliers with Pamy, Granny and me.

4.5 Contratulations, Marm - hopefully this is the start of better days to come.

1. Got the details on the new settlement. I will be making less this year than last because of HUGE increases in paying for health insurance.

2.Not even a cost of living increase for next year.

3. They actually think that the faculty will approve this? They are nuts. There weren't even any "this doesn't cost us anything, but it would be nice for you" items in the settlement.

4. CRUD! The only decent pay raise is in year 4....and it will be right before negotiations happen again, so everyone will be able to say that we had a HUGE pay raise, so we won't need a raise in the 2007 contract.

5. I'm thinking that I won't make it to year 4 of this contract. Why should I teach twice the courseload of most universities for flat=line pay. No relief to do research, no funds to hire enough profs to cover all the classes needed so that kids can graduate, and everyone already stretched to the max.

6. At least I won't be walking a picket line in this interesting (read that as HORRID) weather we are having. The university actually closed this afternoon, but my meetings were still held. At least the secretaries and custodial staff could go home early without using a full day's leave.

1. I hope everyone who has been sick is getting better.
2. I went to the doc yesterday...again. She changed my meds and still all I do is eat a little and sleep a lot.
3. Bless DH for taping my reality shows so I can catch up when I am awake.
4. I'm so sad to see Rudy leave. I just love that man.
5. Reiki, thank you so much for keeping me in the deadpool game.
6. I'm thinking I may sneak off the stress meds so I can start living productively again.
7. Marm beat me to 6, so I'll just say goodnight and hopefully wake up in time to go into chat for a little while.

1. As I mentioned somewhere earlier, today was 100 day and both kids stayed home sick with a cold/cough thing.

2. I realized this morning that I didn't have enough medicine or juice for them, so I decided to venture to Walmart to pick some stuff up.

3. Quick trip with two sick kids was not fun at all, lol.

4. About 3:30 I noticed my mail man was parked down the street so I ran out to try to catch him since I forgot to put something in the mailbox.

5. Just as I walked out a strange car pulled up in front of my house. It was Dakota's teacher!

6. She felt bad that Kota missed the big festivities that she wanted to drop off her bag of goodies (snack foods, stickers, play money...all of it equaling 100's.)

7. She also brought Caleb some brand new blue jeans that her son had had for a couple weeks before growing out of.

8. We were standing outside talking, she was asking how the kids were feeling, just idle chit chat really, and I was telling her how I had to drag them to the store and the mess they were (both wore sweats and Kota's hair wasn't even combed!) and she was laughing. She said she'd never seen Dakota look anything less than clean and neat, when she poked her head out of the door to croak a hello, with her hair standing straight up on her head! I thought her teacher was going to fall down laughing when she saw Dakota.

8.5 How cool is it though that Kota's teacher cares enough to stop by to give her her stuff and check on her? And by a comment the woman made about a little boy who went home sick yesterday and how sick he was today, I know we weren't her first stop.

1. Wow, Wargod. That is so cool that her teacher cared enough to stop by! She is much more than just a teacher,eh?
2. My dd missed her 100th day activities when she was in Kindergarten as well due to an illness
3. She missed this years because they did a read a thon activity for the day instead.
4. I had a pretty good night. Just went to a friends house and played makeover. Her younger sister who is only 17 was there too and we had fun reading all of her teeny bob magazines.
5. I love hanging out with my friends again and so does dd since some of them have children as well.
6. All of us who have kiddos are going to try and treck it up to the snow on Sunday and have a big tubbing day. Can't wait!
7. I rented two movies for the weekend-Once Upon a Time in Mexico and Thirteen.
8. I forgot them at my friends house though so now I will have to try and watch both tomorrow night after dd goes to bed.
9. I am back to insomnia mode and doubt I will sleep a bit tonight.....

1. i am so glad my egggranny is gonna be ok. yay!

2. i found out last night from my sister that our baby sis (20) was in a bad car accident on wednesday night in the snow. (glad someone called to tell me! damn!) thank God she is ok.

3. she and her boyfriend were on their way to eat, and they felt the back of the van sliding, so it was either go into oncoming traffic or the ditch....they rolled over into the ditch.

4. it took them a couple of hours to get her out of the van. they had to cut part of the van. they took her to the ER in an ambulance because she had a bunch of glass in her head!

5. they (sister and bf) do not have health insurance, and had liability only on the van. i would appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers for my baby sis.

6. i found out that g. dub-ya will not be at our facility on monday, because the building is too difficult to secure. the roof is multi-dimensional, HUGE, etc. so i won't be getting to see him. he will be down the street at the other facility though.

7. the secret service was actually in there at work the other day. how cool is that? i of course missed it because i was busy talking. lol

8. we have been told, however, that they are expecting the likes of john ashcroft (who is from here, btw), roy blunt, and jim talent to be coming in for a tour. so that will still be cool, imho. i will tape the live coverage of dub-ya on the local news station.

9. they did get tickets for the guy who lost his hand earlier this week, and his wife to go see him. i thought that was a nice gesture and i am glad that he is getting to go.

10. me and dfriend are going to see the new hockey movie, miracle, today. yay!

HAVE A FABULOUS WEEKEND EVERYONE!

1. I got sick on our cruise and have been dealing with bronchitus this week..starting to feel human again.
2. Went to see "The Producers" last night. Great show! The guy who played Matthew Broderick's part was "Cameron" in Ferris Bueller's Day Off..how ironic! I know that Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick would be fantastic to see, but this cast was pretty darn good too!

1. Today I got my hair colored and had reddish/gold highlights added. Then I got a cute haircut with bangs! I really like my new look!!

2. This evening my sister and I went to see a play called "Love Letters". So glad I brought some Kleenex as this was such a bittersweet story and a real tear jerker.

3. Tomorrow I'll be weeding and pruning my two rosesbushes that I've neglected. It'll be a miracle if they come back to life and grow more roses...LOL!

2. Sometimes tear jerkers can make you feel better.?

3. You will have the most beautiful roses in all of TVCH land!

4. I just ate a corn dog (chicken corn dog).

1. Got my garage door up and it will STAY that way. I'm not having my car stay outside overnight again. More snow and ice here.

2. Went to Pittsburgh yesterday for a music clinic. I left early because of the snow, but stopped by two game shops to pick up some of the new Darksteel Magic cards. I had lots of fun sorting out my cards last night. Can't wait to play a game, especially since I don't think that the gameshop in town got the new cards in. My students will be jealous.....I hope....maybe they bought a whole box online or something.

3. Also stopped by the outlet mall to get some jeans/pants in a bigger size. SHEESH, I've never had such a hard time losing the Thanksgiving/Christmas weight.

4. I'm going to Boston on Wednesday. I'm hoping that the weather will shape up and my planes won't be delayed.

5. It's contemporary worship today....I hope that my guitarist, flutist and drummer all show up and play well. It's "Marm and the boy band" playing for church this morning!

1. Went to a Mardi Gras Ball last night.

2. This was my first time attending this Krewe's celebration. It is a mixed krewe of gay and straight people.

3. Had a blast. It was a great night of people watching.

4. My best friend's niece was queen and her SO was king.

5. Best friend did all the design work on their costumes. He really did beautiful detail work on the stones.

6. Don't think I'll do too much today, maybe just laundry and a nap.

1. I went in to get my eyebrows done yesterday. The girl did a good job but took a very long time.

2. Then I found out that my aunt decided at 9 am to come down and visit my cousin (we live in the same city). We all met up at the brewery, had a few beers, then went to Koreana again.

3. That's 3 weekends in a row at Koreana but the Tofu Korean BBQ is the BEST. Guess what I got? :-)

4. My best friend called while I was on the phone with my cousin and I told her about my aunt coming down so she started trying to convince me that her and her husband were in town and almost at my place. they live 2 hours away. I was all excited that everyone was visiting.

5. She's a brat. She was kidding, BUT she was calling about wanting to come up next weekend. The funny thing is, I wanted to take her to Koreana soooo bad, but do I really want it four weekends in a row? Usually we go to Victoria's- really, really good Italian food (tons of different sauces to choose from)- but I want her to eat at this place.

6. I'm thinking Victoria's for dinner, then Koreana for lunch before they leave. How fun. I love them :-)

7. Today is BF's sister's birthday so we're headng down to his parent's house for that. I'm always a bit bored down there but it's not horrible. They're a very different type of family than I came from, but who isn't? My mom did have us living in the woods for 6 months when I was a little kid Did I ever tell you guys those stories? Haha

1. Ddr and Kaili, sounds like you both had a good time this weekend. Kaili, why'd it take so long to do your eyebrows? I had mine done for the first time a few months ago and it took all of about 5 minutes (they used that Australian stuff you plaster on, put a cloth over and pulled off). Didn't hurt a bit - certainly not as much as plucking;

2. The P's are coming to town next weekend oy;

3. Wedding planning to do, double oy;

4. Colossus is having a stroke - he wants to impress the future inlaws something harsh, so the cleaning and decorating free-for-all is in full swing;

5. It's amazing how much dust and cobwebs can build up when you're not looking, and then when you finally look it's a freaking Wes Craven movie going on in your nooks and crannies;

6. I despise cleaning baseboards. Note to self: rid the house of all baseboards, they are the devil's work;

7. We finally got a Frank Lloyd Wright architectural rendering of Falling Water framed for over the mantle - it is spectacular, but now we're having issues on which artifacts go on the mantle and how to arrange them;

8. I'm from the "anything but symmetrical" school of mantle decorating - this offends his sense of feng shui, I think. Would someone please tell Colossus that it's not going to jam our finance frequencies to have both oversized candlesticks on one side of the mantle? LOL.

1. Hi Everybody!

2. I'm glad that the sick people are starting to feel better, Eggie is going to be just fine, and Marm's not going to strike.

3. I forgot that Marm is coming to Boston next weekend. Unfortunately, I will be working or I would have tried to hook up with her for lunch or something.

4. 9 years out of 10, I don't leave the state of Massachusetts. This year I will be going to California in April for Moon's wedding and to see my niece. Then I'll be going to Mystic in October to meet some more TVCHers. I'm such the world traveler. Ain't y'all just green with envy? LOL

5. Except for the extreme cold we've had here lately, the weather hasn't been too bad. That must mean that we are due for a whopper of a blizzard.

6. I'd really like to hear Kaili's story of living in the woods for 6 months.

7. I'm planning on hitting the lottery this week. I could really use a 100 and some odd million dollars. Then I could go to all the TVCH gatherings!!

8. I think weekends should be longer than two days. I soooo don't want to go to work tomorrow.

9. Have a good week everyone!!

1. GAL- evidently I have tough eyebrows that don't want to pull up easily so she did a lot of plucking. I think she may have been a newer person because she was being extra extra careful.

2. BF's family was fun. We weren't there for too long and, as always, it was pretty entertaining.

3. My story of the woods is in a thread called "Weird Childhoods", or maybe I called it unusual. Unfortunately I don't remember a lot of it except for that I was there.

4. It's pretty warm today (almost 30!). I'm going to call my aunt soon at my cousin's and see if she wants to go snowshoeing before her 6 hour drive.

5. Did I mention I got my little angels into their new tank. They seem quite content. Yay.

6. On the way home from BF's parent's house, we stopped at UW-Oshkosh. He's taking some MPA class and needed a book. I haven't been on campus for over a year. Kinda weird to be there again.

7. I bought a new wool pea coat (like I really needed another one!) and a black fleece pullover from Kohls the other day. I love clearance. The original price of the coat was $125 and I for it for $37. The fleece was $4, down from $24.

8. That brings me to 3 new pants, a sweater, a fleece, and a coat in the last week for under $150. Happy Kaili, very happy Kaili!

9. I love Blockbuster. Did you guys know the kids/family movies are free there? I always went to Family and Hollywood Video but I'm loving Blockbuster. I watched Shrek again last night, and I got Old Yeller and Black Beauty (that story makes me so sad).

10. My tenth fact about me is that I also bought a new tea kettle at TJ Maxx and I love the spout on it. It's angled so it pours nicely. I also ordered some corn and barley tea like they have at Koreana (my resturaunt I was talking about before that I love) from some website and it was only $.99 for half a pound!
