P.S. from Eggie -

I just wanted to say that my boss will give me credit for making HER shine, that's why I can never say 'no' to her...she's a sweetheart!

1. Yesterday, I went to see The Return of The King all by myself. Loved it!

2. Before going to the movie, I went to Value Village and bought 3 outfits for working out in. Cost me only 22 bucks!

3. Today, I went to our community center and went through an orientation for using the fitness center there.

4. It only costs 10 bucks a month, and I'll be using the treadmill and perhaps some of the other equipment every day during the week.

5. I found out I had a small yeast thing going on, and will also find out about the possibility of that STD when the blood work comes through. The culture from the hospital came back negative.

6. My man is falling so much for me, it is scaring him bad.

7. He's been really hurt in the past, and I told him I understand his fears, but that I am NOT like those other women in his past, I am different.

8. Marm, I'm so glad I don't live where you do right now. We have had enough snow to last me several years, and I'm sick of it.

9. I'm going to be getting some boots this weekend. Some that will keep my feet dry and warm, and also that I can hike and camp in, since Dennis is planning on doing all kinds of outdoor things like that with me this summer.

10. I'm so sleepy right now. It was a busy day, and I walked 1.5 miles on the treadmill, which I'm not used to because I'm so out of shape!

1. We still haven't celebrated Christmas with my parents. They had the flu over the holiday season. They were going to try to come down this weekend, but the powers-that-be are calling for winter weather, so it's not looking good. I miss them. :(

2. I have been having very weird dreams lately. It causing me to have restless sleep and I am very tired today.

1. Sage, yay on all your good news!!

2. My scales wouldn't lie to me, would they? They tell me I've lost a total of 7 lb so far. Yay, me!

3. Evidently the date of my 2nd interview with Aetna is goofy. The 24th is a Saturday! I've sent off a nice email to the person who scheduled it to confirm.

4. We got more snow last night (couple inches, I think.) Danbury's temp is now 6 degrees. Forecasts predict 0 by this afternoon, with a brutal evening (wind chills to -30). I know Mak will beat me on this!

5. Anyone else crack up in the a.m. with Ellen?

6. For some reason, I have the music to "Stairway to Heaven" running in my head.

7. I sneaked a peek at Days of Our Lives spoilers the other day. (zipping my lips)

8. Despite the corny previews, can't wait for American Idol to start on Monday. Also, ER and the next segment of The Apprentice are on tonight. YAY!

9. Dh was happy on Sunday when his Eagles won in overtime on Sunday. He was unhappy last night when the Sixers lost in double-overtime.

10. ROTFL, Kaili, about your mom and her night guard. I haven't done that maneuver--yet!!

1. Jewels, love it they are "driving you crazy" and not the other way around.
2. Doesn't that mean that "they have PMS?"

1. Yup, HP, I watch The Ellen Degeneres Show everyday, taping it on the days I'm working in the AM. Wouldn't miss her hilarious show.

2. Today is a day off for me. I slept in an extra 4 hours, waking up at 9 AM. Ahhh. Ready to go shovel snow again...

3. I'm going to start tanning today...have to get a "protective" base tan on my winter white skin, because we are going to Mexico in 4 weeks. :)

1. Sis and bil are feeling better from their bouts of strep throat.

2. As predicted, by Tuesday night I felt like crud and have a nasty case of it myself. Caleb woke up yesterday morning running a high fever and complaining of a sore throat.

3. Both of us have dr appts today. Strangely enough, Dakota who is usually the first one to get sick is feeling quite perky.

4. Keeping my neices here so they wouldn't get sick didn't work. Oldest neice was sick by Tuesday night. The baby was doing ok, but she woke up this morning running a fever. Both girls have dr appts this afternoon.

4.5 Just heard back from Aetna. The correct date is 1/21, a Wed., so I am all set now.

4.75 Sorry to hear about that nasty old Strep running through your family, Wargod. Gosh, you've been through it!! I've never had strep, but my dd has. No fun. Well at least everyone is getting timely treatment.

1. This week is a killer. I'm at a conference in Baton Rouge. I'm so happy the last day is tomorrow and it ends at 2:00 pm.

2. Today was a trade show for the travel counselors at lunch time. I gave out close to 500 mardi gras beads in two hours. They love the beads I give out (they are BIG bass fish, crawfish and alligators). The only stipulation is that they must wear it. It's so rewarding to see everybody with my beads on (including the other booths!)

3. The marketing rep for the Holiday Inn Superdome gave me a gift card for a free night! Guess I'll be looking at concerts in New Orleans for son and I to go to.

4. On the way back home, a red car passed me up on the interstate doing probably 85 to 90 miles an hour. A few seconds later, I see a state trooper get out his car, run to the edge of the road and points to me and another car to pull over. Well, I knew I wasn't speeding, so I kept going (so did the other guy). Sure enough, state trooper gets in his car and gets on the road. He realized his mistake and caught up with the little red speedster. Serves her right.

5. When I got home, ex called. He started demolishing the remains from the fire. I ended up helping him store what little was saved.

6. I smell like a fireplace. Time to go take a bubble bath.

1. It's FREEZING here!

2. Windchills of 15 to 25 BELOW zero!!!

3. Wind gusts of up to 40 mph!

4. I went grocery shopping tonight. BIG MISTAKE! I was almost in tears while we were loading the car, it is THAT cold.

5. All I can say is THANK GOD I'm off tomorrow.

6. I plan on spending the day in sweats, drinking hot chocolate, and watching tv...and definitely NOT going outside!

7. The BF and I will celebrate our four year anniversary on Saturday. We're going out to a nice restaurant and then going to see a movie. Hopefully it's a bit warmer so I won't have to wear 10 layers...how un-romantic is that?!

1. -6 here this morning. I hope that the Big Apple will at least be up to 0 by the time I get there.

2. I will be sending off my job applications as soon as the post office opens, and then I hit the road.

3. YIKES, the news says that there is a 29 mph wind in the Big Apple. I'm packing extra socks!

4. Finished the first week of school. My office was like grand central startion. Hope next week is better.

5. We FINALLY have a department chair. The old one who cancelled his sabatical. AGAIN. The dean told us to be civil to each other. Well, we'll see what happens.

6. Hot chocolate sounds like a very good thing.

7. I take my computer in to be repaired on Monday. Somehow, I think that they will roll on the floor laughing when they see my disk drive slot. It's scotch taped right now. Actually the problem is the monitor...I have to push on the computer to get the monitor to come on.

8. Did I say that it was -6 here this morning? And we have at least 8-9 inches of fluffy snow on the ground. Thankfully, the guy who shovels finally got to my house and I didn't get snow in my shoes last night when I waded home!

KEEP WARM EVERYONE!

1. What a difference a few states south makes. It is 64 degrees and I'm enjoying my breakfast with the patio door of my hotel room open.

2. I got the worst possible news yesterday morning regarding my presentation.

3. The lead presenter who has been heading up the project got the flu and left to go back home.

4. He had three of his students helping with the project who I had never met. They are second year master's students and this is their very first professional presentation ever. They are three men - probably about 23 years old (all three).

5. If the flu doesn't kill the lead presenter, I may.

6. It is kinda nice to go to a conference and not really know too many people. I enjoyed the entire evening alone last night.

7. I bought a book and watched some television. It was nice!

8. Today I have a ton of things to do to get ready for the presentation in the morning.

9. I'm meeting the guys for lunch to finalize all the plans. I think it will go okay, and the format we changed to yesterday is much more comfortable to me.

1. I'm hoping Spygirl will send some of that warmth my way. It's 11 degrees here right now.

2. I'm also hoping Spygirl doesn't kill the lead presenter. I imagine it would cause more difficulties in the long run.

3. I'm bored at work today, when in all actuality, I should be busy. I just don't feel like doing anything.

4. I'm fighting with dh right now and that makes me very unhappy. We don't fight often but when we do it's about something stupid. Like now.

5. I'm tired today, too. I took a sleeping pill at 7:30 last night and was still awake at 11:30. Dd got out of bed three times last night, so that didn't help at all, either.

6. Sunday we're having Dd's third birthday party. Dora the Explorer all the way! Should be fun, but I'm not looking forward to cleaning the house before and after.

7. Dd seems to be having umm . . . expulsion problems. Cleaning things out of the bathtub that she certainly shouldn't have put into the bathtub, but rather in the toilet, is not fun at all, for the record.

8. Sometimes I feel lonely even when I'm surrounded by people. This is one of those days.

9. I really need to cheer up, I'm driving myself nuts.

10. Elvis Presley's first #1 hit was Heartbreak Hotel. I didn't know that, but it's my trivia question for today on my calendar.

1. Tomorrow my DS will be 8 yrs. old. Today I am taking him and a buddy to Fun Fun Fun, kinda like Chuck E. Cheese only without the pizza and insanity. No way would I go to any of these places on a Saturday, so he has to celebrate a day early.

2. It's a low key celebration, since we plan a big family party when DH gets back. He's missed everyone's bday, including his. DS is going batty waiting till it's time to go pick up his buddy.

1. Jewels, my son used to LOVE those things. That was how I got him potty trained, bribes of Rescue Heroes.

2. There used to be a website where they could play simple RH games, kept him occupied for a while.

3. Cin, I hope you catch up on your sleep!

4. I had a bit of good news from DH today. It's posted in the Military Family thread if anyone would like to know about it.

1. Not1, I just read your post and I am so happy for you. How wonderful to get him home sooner!
2. I just give you military wives so much credit and respect. I don't know how you do it but you are some strong women! Be proud of yourself!
3. Tell him , take that purple heart! He deserves everything that he is given. As much as he does for our country, our country should do for him tenfold.
4.Jewels, my nephew loves his Rescue Heroes. He has every single one made and his room looks like one big rescue station! I just love the rescure heroes' names. They are too funny!
5. I have a RH computer game that my daycare kids love to play.
