1. I went on a posting frenzy today, and posted more posts in this one day than I have posted in one week. 2. I'm feeling like I'm coming into my own finally. I am woman, hear me roar! LOL! 3. Well, sadly I do miss Dennis, and I probably will for a while. I'm not devastated over this break-up, in fact, I'm a bit relieved, if that makes any sense. I keep looking in my email to see if he's written. I won't hold my breath though. 4. Tomorrow, I'm going to a home and garden show with my mom and sis-in-law. 5. I'm going to go to church with my sister on Sunday, and hopefully we will go to a movie and have lunch this weekend too.

1. I got to visit with my friend who was in town the otehr night. That was fun! He was only in town for a few days for some family stuff, so didn't get to spend much time with him, but it was nice to see him again. 2. Kota had baseball practice today. MOW got home and said he wasn't going to take her because it was freezing and windy. 3. She begged and pleaded and finally he caved. He took both kids with him while I was sleeping (been dealing with food poisioning this week and I overdid it this afternoon!) Said him and Caleb were miserable and cold but she had the best time. Judging by her filthy sweat pants, I can see she was playing hard. Dad said she was the best one out there, LOL. 4. Still haven't heard from little bro what colors they've chosen for their wedding. I know it's a tough decision, but I want to get started on thier wedding album and since it's been awhile since I've done one, I'd like to have plenty of time to fix it if I mess it up, lol. 5. Maybe while I'm waiting to do theirs I'll start on my new neices too. 6. i'm thinking this year for Caleb's birthday we'll have it at a baseball game. They charge 13 bucks a person, 10 people, give sodas, hotdogs, and cake, seats are covered and they flash a birthday message on the big screen. It'll be about the same price as going to the skating rink or bowling alley and best of all it's not at my house!

1. I tossed and turned all night. 2. I am very anxious about today. 3. It's so final to be getting all my mom's stuff. 4. Plus going into the house and see all the new stuff there. 5. There are so many things that I don't know what to do with, but don't want to part with..what do I do?? 6. My stomach is just in knots. 7. I think I will be very glad when today is over.

1. One step at a time (((Texannie))), you'll get through it. 2. I woke up with a really sore throat today, ouch! 3. Figures I'd get sick the first weekend we're going to be up to 50 degrees. 4. I love the first few warm days after a really cold winter! Great sweater weather! 5. My local mall is having a bridal "expo" today, if you want to call it that, and me, DF (dear fiance'), my mom and dad are all going. 6. It will probably be pretty lame, but I'm hoping to meet up with a bunch of local photographers, since that's still stressing me out. 7. DF is still in denial...still thinks we can wait to plan this shin-dig until about three months before. Good grief! 8. I hope everyone has a great day and a great weekend!!!

1. it's been a hectic week, so i have been kinda MIA here. a lot to catch up on. 2. most of my online time has been spent at freedvds.com. trying to get points to get the 2 felicity box sets for free. it is very time-consuming and a pain in the ass, to say the least. but i am pretty close. 3. i had to get up at 4 in the morning the past 2 days (thursday and friday), so i went to bed at 9 last night and didn't wake up til 7. now i have a pounding headache. i think it may be lack-of-caffeine-related. 4. i went to my buddy at work's funeral on thursday. it was very sad. they played a song called "the bad news is you're gone". you could hear people literally wailing through the whole thing. that was the worst part. 5. i was hoping that when i heard about him, that it was just a really bad mistake, and maybe it was someone else with his same name. unfortunately, it wasn't a mistake. 6. yesterday i rented "pieces of april" and bought "uptown girls" at blockbuster. i love their pre-viewed dvds. the movie i bought cost me $8.49. 7. i want to see the passion of the christ too. not sure when i will go. kind of hoping it's this weekend, but they are talking about the shows being sold out, so i don't know. 8. i would like to talk to the genius who decided we should have 5 day work weeks and only 2 day weekends. doesn't make much sense to me. 9. my advice to sage (not that i am the best advice-giver) is to get herself some girlfriends to hang out with! if you find the right ones you will have a blast! you never have to worry about them screwing you over or hurting you. not that all men would do that by any means, but that would definitely help with the loneliness. jmho

1. I need sleep! 2. I went to bed at 2:30, was still staring at the ceiling when MOW left for work at 4, tossed and turned for a couple hours, heard the kids get up at 6, and finally crawled out of bed at 6:30 completely giving up on sleep. 3. Feels like I've been up much longer than I have! It's only 10:30 yet feels like it's at least 3pm. 4. On a positive note, I've gotten a ton of stuff done this morning. Two loads of laundry, the kitchen is scrubbed top to bottom as is the bathroom. 5. The den is spotless. The only things I have left to do is a couple more loads of laundry, then fold and hang those, vacuuming the living room floor and the hall. 6. If I feel like it I may dust and vacuum my bedroom, but may leave it til tomorrow. 7. While sending out positive vibes for the grocery store workers who are striking (they will be voting over the next couple of days on a proposed contract and could be back to work as early as Tuesday!) I am going to scrub my fridge and deep freeze today. 8. This strike has been going on for 4 and a half months and I can't wait to get back to shopping at my grocery store, wih the nice, helpful people who work there. I know they can't wait to get back either! 9. Every year MOW gets a bonus (along with everyone else) from work. If they come in under budget, the left over money is split evenly between everyone and they usually get somewhere between 500 and 1200 bucks before taxes. We always use this money for household stuff...sheets, towels, appliances, stocking up the cabinets and freezers. 10. So tomorrow we are going to Costco and stocking our deep freezer. Is it sick to be excited about this? LOL.

1. It's hard to be a step-parent sometimes. 2. I enjoyed the profile of Lyle Lovett in the recent New Yorker magazine. (Could I have two more different facts? Sure I could, but that's just part of being a complex person )

1. I am going to Munich on Thursday evening (I'll arrive there Friday morning). It will be a nice change of pace. 2. I've been so incredibly busy lately that I fell asleep at 7pm Friday night and didn't get up until 4:30 in the morning! 3. I've gotten to see some of my recent graduates in the last week or so and it is SO nice to see how successful they are in their first jobs. They are getting their employers to buy instruments and send them to get more training and to go to conferences. They are bringing their colleagues along with them. So music programs will be strengthened, eventually!

1. Yesterday is over, and I survived. 2. It was fairly awful. All my mother's stuff had just been tossed into the guest house which happens to be the room she died in. 3. I have wonderful girl relatives. My aunt and my 2 cousins were life savers yesterday. 4. We did find some things that made us giggle and laugh as it brought back memories.

1. My heart goes out to you Texannie. 2. Son went to a computer technology class yesterday. He came home with a mousepad he made. Too cool. 3. I stayed home and worked all day on bookkeeping for friend. 4. I got some rather disturbing news Friday night. My mother has glaucoma and has damage to her optic nerve. We'll know more when they get the pressure down. 5. Next weekend I'm going to a PowWow in Hattiesburg, MS. We're going scout to get information on hosting one in July.

1. (((Texannie))) I know it's hard dealing with this stuff, but it'll get better, I promise! 2. Bridal show was a bit disappointing on my end. DF had a GREAT time! 3. You had the chance to enter a drawing for a free honeymoon. To enter you had to get each vendor to initial your entry form. Well I hate haggling people and I'm not good at listening to people try to sell me stuff, especially if I'm not even remotely interested. 4. I gave the form to DF and told it if he wanted to enter the drawing it was his job to get all the initials from the vendors. Boy was that a mistake! LOL 5. I spent the whole time chasing after him as he hopped from vendor to vendor getting our entry form signed, totally oblivious to the fact that he was not getting any info from these people or even caring what they were there to sell. It was quite humorous. 6. I think I (finally) found my photographer! I'm so happy about this, you have no idea! His work is gorgeous and has won over 65 national awards for some of his pictures. He seems really nice and willing to work with us to make sure we get what we want. His prices aren't too bad either...

1. It is rainy and stormy here today. 2. I got the preliminary insurance stuff worked out to see the dietician. The diagnosis code is covered - we'll have to verify the procedure codes as we go. 3. I have big news - I may be going to Mexico for the entire month of June. We are trying to start an intensive Mexican culture immersion for our students because of the increasing Hispanic population here, and I am the faculty in charge of that plan. It was one of the reasons they hired me for this position. 4. We already have an exchange setup for our undergrad students, so I need to go with them this June to scope out the program and scope out what the options are for our program. Plus, I need an intensive re-immersion in the language. 5. If that works out, I will start traveling the second weekend in May and stop traveling the third weekend in July. In those 76 days, I would be at home in my own house 13 days. After the 27th of May, I wouldn't be at home a single day until July 24th. 6. I should know this week whether or not that will work out. I have to write a proposal and rationale to get the university to pay my expenses. I will not be going if I have to pay! 7. I should know sometime this week - or latter part of the week for sure.

1. I guess Ddr, Sage and Eggie didn't have 8 facts to post right now. heehee 2. I'm watching a Quantum Leap marathon on SciFi. I haven't met many people who watched that show. I love the time travel theme! 3. DH and I took a long, brisk walk this morning. He went to the gym with me yesterday for the first time, also. 4. DH's doctor's advice to exercise and lose weight finally got through to him. 5. It's a beautiful sunny, warm (for Maine in February) day...40s! We still have snow on the ground, but it's melting a bit each day. 6. A friend is going to give me a disc to upgrade our puter. I think that means I'll soon be spending some time in the Computer Advice thread. 7. I helped another friend learn to use a computer yesterday. She didn't even know how to turn it on. Her lack of confidence will hold her back for a while, but I know she's smart enough and will be determined enough to learn all that she wants to. 8. I made posts in another thread to recognize some posters I normally would be hesitant to, because I'm better at lurking and being a RL wallflower. I hope my posts didn't hurt anyone's feelings, because I truly appreciate, notice, respect and enjoy all the posters in the threads I frequent. Happy Leap Day!!

1. The last week has been crazy at our house. 2. Tuesday night my daughter woke up with an evil sounding cough, we knew immediately it was croup. She was up half the night. 3. Wednesday morning my husband took her to the doctor while me and my son went to pick up my sister who was in town visiting for the day. 4. We spent the day taking care of my poor sick little one. 5. Thursday, I started to feel yucky, but I thought she was getting better. By that evening she was running a high fever. At about midnight she woke up and cried (more like whined because she didn't have the energy to cry) for the next 3 hours. 6. Friday my husband stayed home from work because we had been up half the night yet again. My daughter was awake for about 45 minutes in a 13 hour time period. Her fever finally broke, but now I was feeling gross. 7. Yesterday I could barely get off the couch, I ended up taking a 3 hour nap. Can't remember the last time that happened! 8. I hate it when my kids are sick. I am just waiting for my son to get sick as I know it is inevitable. 9. I love my husband though, he really stepped up when I needed him.

1. Let's see if I can do 10. 2. We have a TV card on our computer, and am watching the Oscar pre show on E! right now as I type this. 3. I visited a new church this morning and really liked it a lot. 4. My sister goes there, so we met there and sat together. 5. I really like the fact that I can wear jeans, as it's a very casual setting. 6. I have a friend who is the volunteer coordinator at our local volunteer center, and starting this week, I'm going to be volunteering some of my time in the office helping her out. 7. I'm not allowed to wear jeans there, however. LOL. 8. Friday night I sent an email to the ex BF to see if he would bag up the things I had left at his house and leave them on his porch so I could pick them up on Monday while he was at work. Do you think he has responded yet? Noooooooo! Argh. 9. I'm looking forward to wathching the Oscars with everyone in chat. 10. I just ate a big bowl of chili with some crackers and a bowl of crushed pineapple. I'm still hungry! Unbelievable!

(pssst Mak, I can do three!!) 1. I spent most of my day at the Mall and although there were a gazillion other cars in the lots, I got a parking space very close to the entrance #11...yes!! 2. It was crowded in the Mall and even though I was there to get special gifts for some special people, I only saw stuff for ME!! Why does that happen? LOL!! 3. I found these oh so adorable pair of shoes that I just had to have! And I also eventually found the special gifts for the special people that brought me to the Mall in the first place...whew!...what a day I had!!
