1. Woke up to snow this morning. Not much snow, but it's covered everything and it is really cold today. BLECH! And I'm thinking of moving back to the upper midwest. ACKKKK!!!!

2. I just made my plane tickets for a conference in Boston, and realized that I didn't account for weather. I've got one of those "after choir" late night flights, and a 5:45am to get me back to play for church. Hope we don't have bad weather, or I'm well, SOL!

3. I have a two hour meeting this morning, and then I hope to get my syllabi finished.

3. I have 4 hours of piano lessons this afternoon and then a meeting at church this evening.

4. Good thing I'm not teaching this week or I wouldn't have time for all these meetings!

5. My palm pilot was dead last week and I reset it so it would work...BUT that made it actually START OVER. I have NO calendar because I was too busy to load the software into the palm and actually back up my info. ACKKKK no phone numbers either. SHEESH!

6. I guess that I will be spending some time loading my calendar back into the palm. By hand. Then I will see if I can figure out how to install the software and back it up on the computer.

7. I'm not a real gadget/electronic person, so this is going to be a NOT fun job. Did I mention that my disk drive slot is scotch taped on my laptop? I'm amazed that my computer even works, as it took a nosedive off of my desk and landed face down on the floor. Haven't used the disc drive yet. SIGH!

1. I have a date Saturday that I'm pretty excited about. Details to come after I find out if I like him

2. Over Christmas, my two dogs got into a fight and my finger got in the way. The bite apparently clipped a nerve and I still do not have any feeling back. I wonder if it will ever return.

3. I forget to use the finger (index finger) because I can't feel it.

4. I started school again yesterday with supervision. I have class again Thursday night.

5. I will be leaving for Houston next Wednesday for a conference. I wasn't supposed to leave until Thursday morning, but the person who books flights for the university dropped the ball before Christmas.

6. I now have to drive to OKC to fly out, so I have to leave a day earlier than planned.

7. I'm presenting research (not dissertation topic) at this conference. Because of the timing, I'm literally swamped with supervision evaluations, new course preparations, and planning for this 2 hour presentation - all at once.

8. So much for the Christmas break! :)

1. My building’s power was supposed to be off today from 8-4pm
2. No Power = Terrible thoughts of No TV, No Computer, No Email, No Job hunting, No microwave, no food, yikes even no TVCH.
3. Lasted at home until noon, then went out to lunch and delayed coming home.
4. Came home at 2:25.. and said YAY.. power is back on early.. I can still see the end of SO (so glad I get it twice a day)
5. Cheered too soon.
6. All the power was back on but low and below my computer was NOT connecting to my high speed cable – the modem light for the cable was not on!!
7. Can we say panic, dread, doom .. if I cant get online at all today.
8. Yay again.. Comcast actually came through and resolved the problem in less than 5 minutes.
9. And so, now at 3:30 pm EST, I am sitting here waving hello and good day to everyone and smiling with relief!
9.5. (Much) Worse things could happen in a day :).

1. Today is my last day being 49 years old.

2. I am embracing 50! Yay for me!!

3. I certainly don't feel "old"...in fact, I stay true to my childish ways to keep my sense of youth alive.

4. I plan on living the next 50 years with all the gusto I can acquire! And it's nice to be at this healthy point in my life with my weight down and my exercise program going strong.

5. I wanted a new 2004 car for my birthday, but with 3 kidlets in college, that will have to wait.

6. I've also always wanted to take an Alaskan cruise for my 50th, but maybe I'll do that one with my sisters some year down the road.

7. For my 50th birthday tomorrow, Egbob and the kidlets are taking me out to dinner at the restaurant of my choice.

8. I'm thinking a nice thick US Grade AAAAAAAA (is that a rating?) steak, with baked potato sounds fantastic!
(...I just know Mad Cow Disease isn't in my future!..)

9. On Saturday, Egbob is taking me to Disneyland. It's what I eventually asked for on my birthday.

10. Egbob hates Disneyland, so this is a sacrifice for him....remember, it's MY birthday..LOL!!

1. I'll second that woo hoo for Disneyland! One sad note though, Eggie, if you like roller coasters, Space Mountain is closed until 2005 for refurbishment. The kids were terribly disappointed when we went.

2. Have a sick kid today, and I have gotten nothing done at all around the house. Since she's taking a nap, I'm going to try to hop in the shower real quick and do some minor housework.

1. I adopted a dog yesterday from the SPCA...he's a 4 year old, pure-bred dachshund, and he's already in love with me!

2. I found out over Christmas that my sister was pregnant (again!).

3. She has been having problems, going weekly for bloodwork...well, last night she had a miscarriage and was scheduled for a D and C today. I am really sad about all this.

1. I love Froggie for adopting a dachshund. You are now "in the club" :) I'm sorry to hear about your sister :(

2. I'm doing Mary Kay ordering for January on the 13th. If you want to browse my website for products, email me (in profile).

3. I am now collecting all the seasons of Friends, Will & Grace, and Sex and the City on DVD.

4. I watched the entire first season of Friends in one day last weekend. 12 hours!

spy-mom, hope you re-gain feeling in your finger!

1. today has been the worst day i have had in a long time.

2. i went to bed with a headache last night...was out of ibuprofen and too tired to go buy any. so this morning i woke up with the headache...and cramps! of course, since there was no ibuprofen.... yay for being a woman (whatever!)

3. then one of my co-workers was being a total (insert worst 4 letter word you can think of here), but only to me, for no apparent reason.

4. eventually his jackass act pissed me off, we got into it, i yelled at him, and i was so mad that i started crying. (that's how i deal with all emotions - by crying)

5. tonight there are no shows on. so i guess i will watch my american pie 2 dvd that i got at the new dvd store that sells them used for cheap. that will make me laugh, no doubt.

sorry i am pissy, hope i didn't bring anyone down.
:(

1.I'm sorry that Jbean had such a yucky day.
2.My ds will be starting high school in August.
3.Today I took him out of school so we could tour one of the high schools in our district.
4.We will go on two more school tours before he (we) makes his decision.
5.The school we are touring this Thursday is the same high school I went to ages ago. Serious deja vu!!
6.I went to Macy's this afternoon and bought Christmas decorations that they were practically giving away.

1. Reading all these posting about people getting out and about make me envious of you all!
2. We have at least 6 inches of snow/sleet, in some places snow/sleet drifts over 18 inches and now freezing rain that is going to last into the night.
3. Along with 30 mph winds.
4. The city of Portland and most of Oregon is a mess right now!
5. I hope we don't lose our power. This storm has been going on since about 11:00 last night. The freezing rain is just going to make it worse.
6. I hope all my fellow Portlanders/Oregonians and Washingtonians are safe and warm in their homes.
7. And, yes, I still love snow!

1. I met Dr. Jane Goodall today.

2. I went to a poker party tonight where there were poker champions. In addition, some of the other people playing poker in the room included: Lou Diamond Phillips, Sharon Lawrence, Fred Savage (The Wonder Years), Richard Kahn (Home Improvement/Family Feud), James Woods and some other folks I can't remember.

3. Richard Kahn (sp) is unusually short, compared to my image of him. But he's also very nice and outgoing.

4. I did not play poker, because I don't know how.

5. Instead, I just mingled and talked with people and watched other people play poker. :)

6. Spy, I lost the feeling in the tip of one of my thumbs about 12 years ago, and it never came back. But now I don't even notice it -- I've adapted! :)

7. Hanging out in LA makes me WANT to lose at least 30 pounds or more.

8. I also saw Kristen DAvis from Sex & the City today (though didn't meet her). When you see the paparazzi shots that are undoubtedly going to show up in the tabloids next week, I might be standing right behind her in the photo (depending on how close they crop it)! I'll be the chubby one who looks twice her size standing right behind her trying to look nonchalant. :)

1. I'm trying so hard to stay positive but its getting harder.
2. My wonderful husband is feeling guilty about everything and the last few days have been really bad for him.
3. After several days of things going wrong for him, yesterday he stepped on Squirt's tail by accident and he felt so bad that he was a mess.
4. Today he was holding Angel and playing with her and Squirt suddenly jumped up on him and scratched his arms to pieces and ruined his new shirt.
5. My darling husband broke down. I don't know how to help him except to tell him I love him. Its killing me to see the pain he is in.
6. I'm trying to hold it together here and get everything packed up.
7. I wish I knew how to hold my husband together. He feels defeated.
8. I don't give a d*mn about our house or where we live. I only care about us.
9. Its so cold here I've got 3 blankets on top of the electric blanket and a space heater going along with the thermostat set to 66.

1. Sending out cyberhugs to Twinks and Jbeans. Tomorrow will be better.
2. Woke up at 2:30 am and realized I missed Sex and the City last night. Grrrr. Didn't get to see it Sunday night because I was at a Sugar Bowl Party. (Yeah for LSU!)
4. I've finally moved my office downstairs! Only took me a year, LOL.
5. Hubby and son gave me a fastbake oven for Christmas (I called it an easybake oven). Sunday I exchanged it for a DVD player for the bedroom and a chair for my new office.
8. Now I need to buy a rug and run cable for internet to the office downstairs.
7. Some friends and I are tentatively making plans to go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. I'm 43 years old and have never been. I think it's time I go.
8. I love to go to Mardi Gras Parades. I tend to get real competitive in catching the beads.
9. I'll be in New Orleans next Monday night for the Governor's Inaugural Ball. Woohoo!
10. Today is my grandmother's 85th birthday! She's taking radiation right now for breast cancer. She claims that right after radiation, she feels like she needs to sing! Her doctor has never heard that before.

1. It's cold again. Not as cold as yesterday, but it's below 10 so it's cold. It's sad when I see the news and the weather report that it'll be 33 by Saturday causes me to say "wow, it's going to get warm!" We've been having windchill advisories of -20 to -30, but up at my mom's she was getting -40 windchills. If we had snow, it *might* make the cold worthwhile, but no! It all melted...all 3 inches of it!

2. I think my DVD player is broken which really, really irritates me since it's only about 2 years old. Everytime I rent a movie, it will freeze up. I went and got a cleaner disk because it wouldn't read my CD cleaner disk. It worked for a bit but last night I put in SWAT to watch and it won't read it at all. It says "Reading" then without me touching it says "Opening" but it doesn't open and then it switches and says "Blocking" so I can't get the stupid CD out. I turn the power on and off and then it says there's no disk in there. Finally I get the disk out and toss in a music CD to test it- it's still saying tehre's no CD in there. Grrrr. I hate broken stuff, especially stuff like that where it ends up being more worth the money to replace than to repair.

1. I just realized that my facts were complaints and whiney so I wanted to toss a few happy facts in to balance things.

2. I figured out what to buy my stepdad for his birthday. I went to World Market (if you have one in your area, go!!!! The store is the best!!!! A cheap Pier 1!!!) and got a bunch of different tins of loose leaf tea, then I got him a tea press. He and my mom drink tea every night.

3. I also got a new scarf at TJ Maxx. My scarf buying is becoming an obsession. I love scarfs. love them. The one I just got is thick grey and blue and I love it. Now I need a new hat! The one thing I like about the cold weather: sweaters and scarves!!!!!!!!!

1. Some metaphorical words for Twinkie: If winter comes, can spring be far behind?

-Percy Bysshe Shelley, Ode to the West Wind.

2. Some real words for the cold people. See above.

3. Our big storm was not anything like they expected it to be, less snow than we had over the weekend and melting today.

4. Still, I am glad we didn't decide to set out for California today.

1. I just went to Wal Mart to buy a 12 pack of sodas. Somehow it cost me $34.56! I did buy a new DVD and a couple cleaners though, but really all I went for was the 12 pack.

2. Dakota's feeling better today and is downright perky this morning.

3. I'm taking a new approach with the homework fight. Instead of nagging Caleb all afternoon and evening to do his homework, I'm reminding him one time that he has homework and then letting him do it or not do it. I called his teacher yesterday to let her know and she laughed and said this was getting to be a class wide thing this year.

4. Yesterday he came home, had his snack, and I reminded him he had homework. Next thing I know, he's in his room doing it. I figure if he shows some responsibility for his own work, we'll push his bedtime back an hour, but the first time he doesn't do it, I'll know, and worse, his teacher will get on his case. He won't like that at all, so I think we won't have too many problems, lol.

5. Juju beat me to 4! Yesterday was plain nasty here, but today we have mostly blue skies. Still cold for us though.

3.And No, just for anyone who may be wondering, I did not have any "good" dreams last night.....*sigh*
4.It's rainy today and cold, but I can't complain much especially after reading some of the post around here!
5.I have already had two cups of coffee and am debating going back for a third.
6.I really really miss Disneyland and am sooo envious of my cybermommy! I hope the weather will be good for you MommyEggie!
