1. I can't believe that I bagged an interview at NYU! It will be a stretch for me, as it is a teaching research job, along with teaching teachers. I will need to read lots and lots in the next week or so. YIPPEE!! A free trip to Manhattan!

2. It is perpetually raining here and I've had a cold or wild allergies for the past week. I can breathe a little better today, so maybe I've kicked it!

I'm SO glad to be back in this thread....it's been TOO long!

1. I had a great day yesterday. I basically played tourist at a few museums in my area. I had never had a chance to tour these two, so I took the afternoon to view them. What fun!

2. A question I had always wondered about was finally answered yesterday. There is a house built in the 1880's in the next town that had a turret to one side that had an unusual Taj Mahel roof. All my life I had always wondered what was in the room with the pretty windows at the top. The house was sold six weeks ago and I went to meet the new owner yesterday and tour the house. Guess what the room is? A bathroom.

3. My grandmother is in her second week of therapy from her hip replacement therapy. She's such a trooper and her recovery is going well.

3.5 Hope everybody has a great weekend!

1. Tim emailed me a pretty interesting website from work yesterday. It's done by this Russian woman...she rode her motorcycle through Chernobyl and the area, took lots of pictures, and wrote a little about it. Here's the link if anyone is interested. Ghost Town

2. Yesterday I started to clean my fishtanks, but when I got to the baby tank I decided it needed an overhaul. There was a bit of a snail problem and I didn't like the blue gravel. So fishies came out, I dumped the old gravel and put in some of the natural looking stuff that I had left over from when I bought my last tank. I tossed all the cloth plants and now there are only real ones in there (I took some clippings from the other tank). They seem happy and if they're happy, I'm happy. Heehee.

3. We're pretty regularly hitting the mid to upper 50s during the day here. I went for a walk yesterday at one of the county parks and I saw green popping up through the old brown fallen leaves. And the trees are budding. I'm soooo excited that it's finally spring!!! :-)

4. Don't forget daylight savings this weekend!!!

1. Ah crap! I have to be at work for 7 on Sunday, but really it will feel like 6. I hate daylight savings. But thanks for the reminder Kaili!

2. I went to the Old Navy Outlet yesterday with my sister, brother-in-law, and my cutie patootie nephew.

3. I spent $70 on two pair of dress pants for work, a pair of capri length overalls, and a new white t-shirt. (Which is a huge clothing staple for me...I have to have at least 15 white t-shirts, lol.)

4. I had a good time, but was very disappointed to see that the Reading Outlet Center is barren! All the great outlet stores have left and I don't know why. I'm especially bummed because I was hoping for a Coach purse for my birthday. Guess I'll have to drive all the way to King of Prussia and pay full price.

5. My honey returns from San Francisco tonight! Yippee!!! I've missed him so much.

5.5 Have a great weekend everyone!

2. brooks and dunn are in concert here tonight, and it is sold out. i wanted to go, but didn't have anyone who would go with me willing to pay $40.

3. a friend who works at the university where the concert is taking place had a coworker who wanted to sell her tickets....but we had to have 4 people.

4. finally we got 4, so i get to go see brooks and dunn tonight....WOO HOO! LOVE them, it should be a blast.

5. i got up at 4 this morning to be at work at 5, so i am tired. i may take a nap first.

6. a woman at work who already grates on my nerves as it is, said to me yesterday "what HAPPENED to your hair!?". isn't that a nice thing to say? grrrrr

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!! YIPPEEE!

Ah, double crap! It's always my luck, ya know. He did go to the Madonna Estate Winery and bought $70 worth of wine for me though, so I guess I can't complain. Hopefully it's more than 1 bottle, lol. For $70 I could stock up on enough Arbor Mist to get me through the rest of the year!

1. Dakota just lost her very first tooth.

2. The other day I mentioned it was loose and that I was going to go and pull some cash to have on hand for the occassion.

3. Yesterday I found five bucks in my purse and thought, cool, a little extra cash for the movies. Bought the kids a large popcorn.

4. As Kota was standing here with her tooth in hand, jumping up and down about the toothfairy coming tonight, it suddenly dawned on me where i got that extra five bucks!

5. After the kids go to sleep, I will be go on a search to find some cash around the house so I don't have to go to the store or the bank, lol.

6. My poor baby neice had her shots yesterday, she's been sick ever since. I've almost been tempted to go pick her up so sis and bil can have a few hours of quiet (she didn't sleep last night at all) but with Mow working the hours he is, it just wouldn't be nice for him.

7. Kids are really wound up tonight for some reason. They've been staying up a little later because they've been out of school, but usually by now they're starting to wind down....not tonight!

1. It is midnight here and I am so tired I might just fall asleep at the computer.....
2. Dear brother of mine has called numerous times tonight because he is drunk off his rocker
3. This does not happen much, in fact this is only the second time I can recall
4.Horrible timing if you ask me though, I was ready for bed the minute I got home from my first day of work!
5. I love my new job so far though!
6. I thought it was a little odd ot start on a Friday, but my supervisor (Rob, who wore a West Coast Choppers shirt!) was under the impression that I would get a better start there if my first day was on their most casual/laid back day of the month.
7. I agree! Seems once a month they do this too-casual dress, pot luck and system down for the day...woohooo...I could learn to love this job I tell you!
8. I have an incredibly busy weekend/week ahead of me and I don't know when I will find the time to come back to this wonderful board-I miss you all already!

1. Great news on the house front - as soon as the official letter comes back from the underwriter, they will start digging the basement within 2 days!!

2. That means if we get the letter Monday or Tuesday, they will start Thursday or Friday!

3. I chose appliances for the kitchen yesterday.

4. I got a flat top stove, a nifty dishwasher, and one of those installed microwaves that go above the stove.

5. I'm watching Anger Management. Since I joined netflix, I have been watching new movies every weekend and I never have to leave my house to get them or return them. :-)

6. I think I am coming down with W.C.D. (Wargod Cleaning Disorder) because I feel an undesirable urge to clean everything in sight.

7. If anyone knows a good remedy, please let me know. Otherwise, at the end of the day, I may end up with an incredibly clean house that would actually be presentable to others. The horror.

8. Dillard's is having a 75% off sale that I'd like to go to.

9. The problem is that items 1-4 mean that item 8 will be very difficult for a while.

where is jewels when you need her? lol, i'll do 10.

1. i had an awesome time at the brooks and dunn concert last night. they are really high energy. so glad it worked out!

2. the opening acts were josh turner and joe nichols, who were both good, as well.

3. spy, a new house! how exciting. i bet that must be a wonderful feeling. apartment life is what i can afford. lol, but i also don't have to pay to fix stuff, or mow the lawn. etc.

4. i wish i had W.C.D. i absolutely hate cleaning. i am trying really hard just to keep the place presentable, since i cleaned on tuesday.

5. so far it's working out, except for dirty clothes on the bathroom floor.

6. i have been told twice in the past 2 days that i look like kelly clarkson. (today i had on my tshirt from the concert and the guy at java planet commented on it)

7. must be the brown hair. i don't see it, but i am flattered anyway. she is a cute girl imho.

8. you guys always talk about my exciting life....just to let you know i haven't been out in about a month! unbelievable, isn't it? i am starting to have withdrawals!

9. yesterday at work, i got to have a free pizza lunch and received $20 for having perfect attendance for the last year. i would have gottn $50 if it hadn't been for mistakenly thinking i could take a half day of vacation. oh well, next year.

10. to me, not missing, and being punctual is part of having a job. it's cool that they reward us for it though.

1. Spring Break has arrived for our college kidlets in California! Tomorrow morning they leave with Egbob for New York to take in some sights and mostly to go visit their brother at Cornell. I couldn't coordinate time off from my job, so I'll be skipping this adventure. I have lots of plans for my week ahead.

1. Spring break is just ending for my daughter and right now she is at a police explorer challenge.
2. In July, she is going to one in Georgia for a week and that will be the longest and farthest she has ever been away from home....and me..

1. I had a great day yesterday, actually cleaned house and visited with friends at one of the downtown boutiques. Today, I'm going downstairs and do laundry, yuck. Double yuck. Triple yuck.

2. Ex MIL's new house is coming along well (lost her previous one in fire in January). Friday I was with her at the house and she said "Does it look small to you?" I told her to sweep the slab and then get back to me.

3. It's been an extremely stressful time for my ex and his family during this. My heart goes out to all of them. I hope after the house is built, he and his sister will be talking once again.

1. My husband (and business partner) and I ran a big local event this weekend, that got lots of local press coverage (hubby was on the morning shows on Friday, and local news today featured our event too). We are both exhausted, but we think the event was a huge success, with no complaints only compliments, so far...

2. Yes, my husband and I work together. We share an office. It's nice to share an office with him, not difficult at all. People don't believe me when I tell them that, but it's true. We're both very serious about our work, so we are usually so focused we don't pay attention to each other enough to get on each other's nerves! :-)

3. Because of my exhaustion from this weekend, I fell off my workout wagon, and ate a humongous, carb-filled dinner tonight. Oh, well, life's short. Back to boring ole vigilance tomorrow.

4. The weather in Vancouver has been gorgeous for the past week -- I've even got a little suntan on my face from being out at the event and working on my deck. So much for frigid Canada and rainy Vancouver, eh?!

1. I'm not ready for Easter. Big family get together Sunday, I'm supposed to make potato salad and a birthday cake for mom. I haven't even bought eggs or dye yet!

2. Mow has a three day weekend (though he'll be on call as usual.) I can't remember the last time he had two days in a row off, so three days is a big deal.

3. I've got one sick kid, and one healthy kid. Mom and sis took turns watching Kota today, so I could concentrate on Caleb, and mom came over for about an hour to sit with him so I could get some housework done. Not sure what I would have done without them today.

4. I want to finish the Hobbit either this week or next week, but I'm not sure the kids will let me, lol.

5. Dakota has been practicing her reading since being off school. Every night, she takes her book in my bedroom and reads dad to sleep. I love this age when everything is so exciting for them!

1. My interview at NYU is set for the 18th-20th, and I think I have people covering my classes. WHEW!

2. I will be living out of suitcases for 10 or 12 days after Easter. First Minneapolis, then I'm home for about 24 hours, then NYU and I'm home for about 36 hours then Erie for a couple of days.

3. I have NO clue when I will get my presentations ready for these conferences, and I don't have my topic for the class that I will teach at NYU yet.

4. I am going to someone's house for Easter dinner. I don't have to bring anything. That will be good because I will be exhausted from playing all those extra services.

5. The sun is ALMOST shining today, and it is supposed to be warmer today. HATE this weather! It would be nice to be above 40!

6. I have a really long day today with very little break time. It will feel good to get home at 6:30 or 7!

1. Good luck on the interview Marm! I know you'll knock their socks off!

2. Caleb has spent the day having short bursts of energy followed by long periods of none and having to rest alot. Considering the fact that yesterday he was being thouroughly checked for appendicitis, we can handle the slow recovery today with no problem.

3. Mow got us tickets for a baseball game this weekend. His company buys a bunch during the season and then gives them away to whoever wants them. Problem with this? The tickets are for Easter Sunday!

4. Called sis to find out when the festivities are planned for Easter. The egg hunt will be held in the morning, and they are planning on having lunch at 2pm, which is when the game starts. However, since they don't know how to tell time, Easter lunch won't be ready til at least 4pm, so we will have time to go see at least part of the game.

5. This is fine by me. I love my family and spending time with them, but having a couple hours break will do wonders for me, lol.

6. My youngest adopted bro and his fiance have changed the date of their wedding. First it was the location that was changed, then the menu (which has been changed 3 times and I have no clue at this point what I'm supposed to be taking,) now the date. They found out that one of the bridesmaids (the youngest sis) can't come to town next weekend, so decided to wait til the end of May.

7. Later today I am going to do some major housework. So far this week has been a bit hectic and I just haven't got much done. It's driving me nuts, which is why I'm probably still up at 1:30am, thinking of all I need to do, LOL!

1. I still need to do all my Easter basket shopping.

2. We are going to an Easter Egg hunt on Saturday at a small church by our house.

3. We went to the same one last year and there were only about 10 other kids there and 100's of eggs. It was alot of fun. Jake had a blast.

4. We have had great weather here lately and have been spending alot of time outside. Here are some pictures:

Jake

Jenna


5. I went shopping at the mall yesterday while my son was at school. New bras and panties! Yipee!!

6. I haven't let my son watch t.v. for 6 days. He was becoming way to obsessed with PBS.

7. Now all he wants to do is play Frogger on the Playstation. Ugh.

8. But I am having fun playing Frogger too, so I guess I am not helping the situation at all!

1. I've had an interesting week.

2. On Monday, I met one of our state senators when she came to one of our towns to deliver a $750,000 check for improvements to their water system. When she heard I worked in tourism, she asked how I liked working with her brother, who is Lt. Governor. He oversees tourism in our state.

3. On Tuesday, I went listen to a Belgium choir who was visiting one of our musuems. My favorite song? "In the Jungle" in French! It was too cool.

4. Today, I met one of our state representatives who is running for the other senate seat at the end of the year.

5. Also attended a meeting to help publicize a fundraiser for our women and children center. Christian LeBlanc (who is in Young & Restless) will be coming back to help raise money for this needy cause. He's come down for 3 or 4 years now to help raise money for them.

6. I have to help my son make a recyclable project tonight. We've decided on an Easter basket made out of shoe boxes.

7. I hope I have shoe boxes in the house.

8. If not, I'll be buying two pairs of cheap shoes at Walmart.

9. I think we're going to go get his driver's permit next week while he's on Easter break.

1. michael baldwin is helping with ddr's fundraiser? wow, too funny!

2. jewels, your kids are cutie patooties! i want to reach through the screen and squeeze their cheeks!

3. so far, it has been a good week at work, and i have friday off! YIPPEE!

4. my friend and i are going out tomorrow night, since we are off on friday. we haven't been out in about a month, and i am really looking forward to it!

5. i hate the first week of daylight savings! it totally throws me off in the mornings. i am so tired when the alarm goes off!

6. i do like the extra hour of daylight though.

7. it has been relatively nice here weatherwise this week. mid 60's everyday. but the pollen has been way up, and my allergies have been BAD.

8. just as i started to like my newly brown hair, the dye washes out a little more each time. i don't like the in-between. i either want it blonde or medium to dark brown, it just looks mousy in between.

9. i think this weekend will be when i treat myself and my buddy to dinner at the japanese steakhouse to celebrate my promotion. i LOVE that place!

10. i was pleased with the results on american idol tonight. i wish it was always that clear cut, and some undeserving people wouldn't have to go so early (meaning amy from last week)
