1) weird dreams? i dreamed i somehow got a one-day old baby and left him somewhere and was retracing my steps to see where i left him. 2) i dreamed i happened to be in boston so decided to call people i knew there rather than sit in a hotel room. duh...why was in boston anyway? 3) some pushy kid just sold me some magazine, then tried to tack on a 10-dollar 'handling fee'. i let my 90-pound dog handle him. 4) i just cleaned up from mother, step-father, sister and niece spending the night and they will be back sunday to spend the night again. 5) i don't mind cooking extra, but as they left, they all told me what alcohol i am supposed to provide when they come back! 'manhattans', 'wine cooler', 'fuzzy navel'...sheesh, BYOB, why doncha?! i have brandy here and i have some red wine. if they don't like it, they can get their own stuff! 6) ds is struggling with a computer science lab that is due at 4:30 (one hour)...and it's all or nothing. if he doesn't finish it, even if what he has is all done correctly, he gets zero on it. he said he worked 6 hours on it yesterday! praying for him!

1. Yay, it's Friday!!! 2. Our two sons went to Mammoth Mountain for some snowboarding over the weekend. 3. DD is going to Tijuana to help do some repairs in an orphanage. 4. Egbob is supervising a nighttime HS Basketball game tonight. 5. I'm going to meet a girlfriend at the theater and we're going to see Cold Mountain. 6. I finished reading Cold Mountain about 2 weeks ago, so I'm glad to be able to see the movie now. 7. I'm sleeping in tomorrow morning!!!

1. I have a hair appt tomorrow--good timing because of my interview on Wednesday. 2. Tomorrow's supposed to be a tad warmer than it has been for the last couple of days. Hope that's true. 3. Tomorrow DH and I are finding the Danbury Library and renting a 1939 Cary Grant movie to watch together--"Only Angels Have Wings," recommended to me by Legalboxer. 4. I'd love to hear Eggie's assessment of the movie Cold Mountain after she sees it. Also wondering about Eggie's DD and how she got involved with the Mexican orphanage. 5. Thinking Cindori needs a love fest! Shall we?! 6. Hoping Not1's DH got to talk with his 'birthday son' this evening as planned. 7. Thinking of Suits' nephew. 8. Thinking of Ddr and her wonderful heart, for helping her ex. Wondering if family took them in until the house is rebuilt.

1. went and saw along came polly last night. it was really cute, and funny. 2. i slept til 8 this morning (late for me, considering i usually get up at 6). 3. i have a headache from not enough caffeine yesterday. 4. i started the "special k plan" on monday, and have been doing well with it. 5. since last week, i have lost 5 pounds. i think it is a combination of the special k thing, but also just being back at work, on my feet moving around all day, rather than setting on my ass on vacation. (oh yeah, and let's not forget water retention last week.SIGH) 6. whatever the reason, i am glad, my pants were starting to get a little too snug. 7. next week at work my department is working 4 ten hour shifts, and we are off on friday. i have agreed to come in at 6 instead of 7 and stay til 4 rather than 3 (YUCK...7 is bad enough!) it will be worth it on friday though, when i don't have to be there! 8. dfriend and i have already planned on an outing on thursday night....don't know if that is the best idea we've ever had or not....definitely no champagne will be involved. 9. sidewalk sale at the mall this weekend, guess what that means? yep, i'm off to it! have a fabulous weekend, everyone!

1. Woke up at 2ish this morn, stayed up awhile and then back to bed and slept til 8:30 am. 2. Now I have a sleep hangover. Don't think I'll be getting much done today. 3. It's raining here and forecasts says rain all day. 4. My house is a mess from being at the conference all week. I have dirty laundry all over. 5. Guess I'll start from the front of the house and work my way through each room. I'll be making a lot of trips down the elevator with dirty clothes. 6. I also need to go grocery shopping. We have NOTHING in this house to eat. 7. Just typing the above makes me tired and want to go back to bed. 8. This week I have meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday, a banquet on Thursday and a boat ride on Friday. 9. At least the following week I have nothing scheduled so far. Hopefully I'll be able to be in the office and get paperwork done. 10. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

1. First of all, I've got to comment on Texannie's cruise for her friends' 50th birthday. I'm so envious of that scenario!! I wanted so badly to go on a crusie for my own 50th birthday, but Egbob truly doesn't like the idea of a cruise. So Texannie, you've just got to come back here and give me a full on report and tell your friend happy 50th from me! 2. I'm home alone today. Allday. The kids are gone, but I knew that was going to be happening in advance. And besides, they live away from home so it's not like they really are here. Late last night, Egbob informed me that he was going to the local mountains today to help a friend do some repairs on his cabin home and he won't be back until tomorrow. 3. Golly gee!, I have the WHOLE day to myself and I just know I can find some trouble to get into...LOL! Have a great day everyone!!

1. I took my dog to flyball today for the first time. He did very well, considering it was his first time and he usually has a hard time focusing on anything other than his general "excitement about life". By the end of the class, he was doing jumps (hurdles), catching the ball, and bouncing off the wall to catch the ball. It was fun! 2. I'm jealous that Texannie is going to the Bahamas. The water there is sooo clear. (By the way, I have ordered stuff from Newport News and I've been very happy with the style/quality for the prices!! Cute swimsuit!) 3. I am going to see LOTR: Return of the King today for the THIRD time. I have a friend who hasn't seen it, and of course my partner & I volunteered to go along too! 4. I'm tired already, and it's only noon!

1, I could have been in a very serious wreck on the interstate 30 minutes ago. Fortunately at this hour there wasn't any traffic as I did two doughnuts across all the lanes. 2. Don't think I'll be able to sleep for a while. 3. I'm watching German language news. I can understand about half of it. 4. I saw three outstanding productions on Broadway in the last two days....The Producers, Anna in the Tropics, and Golda's Balcony. 5. I now have $11 left in my wallet after my trip to NYC. I'll have to cash some checks or hit the ATM!

1. I want hear about any trouble Eggie got in while at home alone yesterday! 2. Marm, I am also glad you are okay. I think of cars as dangerous weapons and wish more people thought of them that way because I think the roads would be a little safer. 3. My parents are in town, staying with my sister and her family, and we are celebrating Christmas all weekend. They had the flu over the Christmas holidays and we didn't get to see them then. I had such a good day yesterday and today I will be heading over in another hour or so and my brother and his family will be joining us. I am SO LUCKY to have the family that I have. They are my best friends. 4. I made my mom a Relay for Life scrapbook that commemorates our family's first involvement at Relay for Life. My mother is a breast cancer survivor. I know this album will make her cry, but she will love it! 5. I feel so good about working out again! I am thankful that so many people joined me in that thread and I hope the enthusiasm and motivation helps us all kick butt and stick with it! 6. I hear that "Grabby" grabbed some George Strait tickets (whoo hoo!) and is now dreaming of grabbing at certain parts of the man's body. I think my typo was a freudian slip on her behalf!

1. i heard from a friend through email today that i had been concerned about and hadn't heard from in awhile...yay! 2. i was very good on my shopping trip yesterday. all i bought was 2 new italian charms (@ $2 each)...a hockey player one, and a martini glass...i wonder why? 3. i also bought a carolina panthers stocking cap on clearance at marshall's for only $3. woo hoo! GO PANTHERS! now i can get all decked out today! 4. i just ate my breakfast (special k) and my stomach is making very strange rumbling noises digesting it....weird. 5. i have a shitload of chores to do today....and i am not excited about it at all. CLEAN, do laundry and go grocery shopping. GAG! i HATE cleaning! 6. not looking forward to getting up at 5 tomorrow to be at work by 6. that sucks! 7. my ear piercing that i have had for a year now is once again infected. it hurts pretty bad. i wonder if it is ever going to heal? have a great sunday everyone, and GO PANTHERS!

1. Sorry about your ear, Jbean. Put some hydrogen peroxide on it. It will really clean it out and hopefully make the infection go away! 2. I, too, have a crapload of chores to do today. I'll probably only get to the laundry, but at least it'll be something! 3. Our trip to Red Lobster last night was yummy! 4. Had to wait over an hour for a table so we never did make it to the movies then. 5. We both got the Endless Shrimp dinner...we were both total wimps! Only got to re-order once! 6. We both felt as if we were going to die after we rolled out of there, but it was sooooooooooo good! 7. When we left, mother nature had surprised us by putting about an inch of snow on our car. We were not expecting that. 8. Good thing we didn't go to the movies, the roads by then were horrible! We slid through a red light and almost hit another car...that was scary! 8.5 GO EAGLES!!!

1. Hermi was wondering what type of trouble I got into yesterday. As you know Hermi, I'm 4% innocent, so it was rather difficult to get into trouble....however... 2. I drove down to the beach and did a 2.5 mile walk. It was a bit cool down that way and I hear that we are expecting some light rain by tomorrow. The waves were bigger than usual and the power of the waves always grabs my soul. 3. I got my nails done and picked a new color....Strawberry!! It reminded me of my CyberKidlet and made me smile thinking about her. 4. Then I used my Spa Gift Certificate and got a facial and upper body massage. Awwwwwwwwwww....it was heavenly to say the least! 5. I came home and wrote a few emails, wrote out some snail-mail thank you notes and then took a little nap on the recliner. Once again....heavenly! 6. After the nap, I checked our beloved board because I'm addicted to this place and I made a few posts. Did anyone see my Truth or Lie in the Games Thread? hee-hee!! 7. Since Oscar was sleeping for most of the day, I decided to take him for a walk around my neighborhood. Wowza!, I've got new neighbors down the street that I wasn't aware of...and sadly, they've been moved in for about 2 months. I introduced myself and Oscar (who they immediately wanted to pet and give him lovies). 8. I ordered some Chinese take out and then watched As Good As It Gets with Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. What a good movie! 9. Today I plan on watching football games. And jbeany, along with the hydrogen peroxide, put a dab of antibiotic ointment on the area. You can pick up Neosporin or a generic of the brand at any drug store. It will help!

1.I’m glad I woke up in a much better mood than yesterday! Thank god! People around here put me in time out all day! 2.I was amazed the other day when I took a shower and discovered I was washing my hair with my Right Hand! First the fact that I could bend my elbow without much pain, then the fact that I could use my whole hand and actually feel the water and my hair with it. 3.It has been three years since I could do that! It’s funny how the little things excite you! 4.I got my new puter last week! Woo Hoo! I got a 20 in. Flat panel Monitor too! 5.All I can say about it is WOW! No more squinting for this chic! I’m almost done loading all my programs. This week I will load all my music. Got a kick ass 5.1 surround sound speaker system with it too! 6.Now I can get my business up and running soon! I should have my website up by the end of February! 7.It’s nice to be able to come out and play with you all again! I really missed it while I was recuperating. I never knew that I would find such sweet, intelligent and compassionate friend’s right here! 8.Thank you everyone that took the time to call me and post updates! Thank you everybody who took the time to stop by my folder and wish me well. Thank you everyone who said a prayer for me. 9.You all have places in my heart! 10.Boy, I can’t believe I just got so incredibly sappy! I guess I just couldn’t help myself! I love you all!

1) Glad Marm is okay......... 2) I have pink eye in both eyes (well, I call it a cold in the eyes!) Anyone have any home rememdies for that one? 2.5) Go PATRIOTS!

Oooohhhh! Pink eye! YUCK! My main bit of advice is WASH YOUR HANDS FREQUENTLY! You can also try a cold compress, and Visine if they're really itchy or burning. Try not to rub or touch your eyes, and if by some chance you do, again, WASH YOUR HANDS!!!
