1. Ugh. Me, Bloody Marys, and Sunday night do NOT mix well. At all. I felt all wobbly all day yesterday But it was a Packers blowing their chance thing in a game that they should have won. I even said early that they would end up regretting not going for the field goal and getting every guaranteed poing possible. What I did to myself, I haven't done, literally, in years. I never want to do it again. I went to bed convinced the sooner I slept the sooner it would be over and i would feel good again. But.... 2. I got called in to sub yesterday morning. It's not that I had been up late- I actually went to bed at about 10 pm). It's just I was a bit woozy. Anyway, lucky me it's a bunch of Consumer Math classes. I mean, lucky me, it's a bunch of kids who won't do anything and spend the hour talking about how lucky some girl they know is because her uncle owns a strip club and no matter what happens she'll have a job after high school if she needs one. It was an interesting day to say the least. 3. Yesterday was my first day back to work since Dec. 23! I had the 24th-26th off because of Christmas, then I took 2 weeks of vacation because I was going to be starting another job that I later decided not to take. It was too late to cancel taking the time off so basically I blew half my vacations for the year already and it's only the 13th. Oh well. I haven't not worked for that long in years and years. And it's obvious how long I've been gone- last time I worked it was dark when I was starting- yesterday the sun was still a little ways up. 4. No wine making yet. I did get a little closer. I read the instructions and you need filtered water so I went and bought 2 gallons of water. We were going to make it Sunday night. That didn't happen

1. we had a bit of excitement this am. DH comes in and says, "go check you car and see if anything is missing, mine was broken into last night" go out, sure enough, car had been rifled through, but nothing out of mine was gone. 2.They got DH's ATM card and some change. We are bad about leaving our cars unlocked. 3.Next door neighbor had left one of theirs unlocked and the got a pistol! another left hers and got a projector stolen, another, change. 4.No cars that were locked were broken into, but they spent alot of time on our street checking. Haven't heard about other streets. 5.I tell you it was a very weird feeling to see my car all rifled through!!!!! Police came and took reports. Got the ATM card closed and fortunately there had been no activity.

1. I'm popping in to tell Rosie that she didn't have to do 10 facts - only 6. You just have to add one more than the previous person did. 2. Today is the last day before I leave for Houston for a conference and research presentation. Did I mention that I haven't put together my part of the presentation yet??? I look forward to meeting Hippyt and Texannie on Thursday!

1. I so don't miss having a baby anymore. I got two hours of sleep last night with the baby, only to be awaken at 5am by oldest niece sitting on Dakota's bed talking to her. I did manage to get Kota back to sleep, but niece decided since I wouldn't let her sit and share with Kota, she'd spend her time roller skating in the den. 2. I had planned to clean the house when mom picked the girls up, now I'm thinking about a nap! 3. Spy, you plan to get your part put together anytime soon?

1) Today I am feeling better, we had a sudden death in the family and it threw me for a huge loop. 2) I miss my time in chat but I can only blame myself for giving computer games to my family for Christmas. 3) Does any one else feel relieved when their parents are away on vacation? LOL, I should feel guilty, but it's so nice to know they are entertaining themselves rather than counting on me to do it.

1. I completely wasted yesterday (wasted = didn't do anything to get ready for my presentation or trip) by watching the entire first season of Sex and the City on DVD. 2. The good news is that during the first two episodes, I walked on my treadmill. 3. I'm leaving to go to my office now where there is no DVD player to distract me from the 8,750 things that must be done today. 4. Happy Tuesday!!

1. I haven't been able to come here as I've been swamped with work and life. 2. I guess that's good that I have a job and a life but I'm still wanting that wining lotto ticket. 3. I'm sad that MGA is having such a terrible time right now. 4. I'm sad that I probably won't get a chance to come back again for a while as the peeps here are too nice but very distracting. 5. I'll be at my desk working....really!

1. Unit and I went to our local Mart store tonight. 2. Instead of walking around on crutches, he decided to use the battery operated scooter cart. 3. He was a dork, driving around in circles and beeping the horn at every isle intersection. I was laughing so hard, I peed my pants. 4. We bought 4 new bed pillows, which just about filled the basket in the front of his scooter. 5. I took a 38DD RED padded bra off the rack and placed it, nip side up, on top of the stack of pillows to get back at him. 6. People were staring at the red boob mounds on the front of his scooter, and laughing as hard as we were. 6½. I really really love my husband!

1. Half, you crack me up. 2. Unit cracks me up too, I can just imagine this scene. 3. I had a great day today. 4. I called every CVS drugstore in the county trying to get this folding table/desk set thing that was on sale. It came with a chair and it's perfect for the kids schoolwork. 5. I scored 2, after visting 4 stores. 6. I am just happy, not necessarily about the desks either, although I love the victory. 7. Did I mention I'm feeling happy?

1. Half and Unit are demented! (in the nicest way!) 2. {{{Texannie and Secretsmile}}}, 3. {{{War's fatigue, Kali's tummy and Lost's 'swampiness'}}} 3. Yay for Not1 and grannyg!!! 4. Herc and I had a great walk Tuesday morning---marred only by the skunky smell he managed to 'collect' on his head. Eww. 5. The temp in Danbury is now 5 degrees. Wednesday's high is supposed to be 15. 6. I am doing well on my exercise/weight loss plan. 7. I am having to wear my night guard--starting to clench my teeth again. 8. Found these two thoughts today: " We must live through the dreary winter If we would value the spring; And the woods must be cold and silent Before the robins sing. The flowers must be buried in darkness Before they can bud and bloom, And the sweetest, warmest sunshine Comes after the storm and gloom." ---Anonymous "In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer." ---Albert Camus

1. I've lost 4 pounds in about 5 days. I WAY overindulged this holiday season. I have about 5 more to go! 2.I wish the there was a good health club around here. I would love to take some classes and have access to more machines. 3. Hubbys birthday is Friday. I bought him new clothes and a saw. Boring if you ask me, but that's what he wanted. 4. Jordan scored 10 points last night. He was injured again.... but was only out of the game for about 5 minutes. 5. I'll take a picture at his next game so you can see him in action. Gosh, I hope I don't sound too much the bragging mom... but he is the joy of my life! 6.My DD is having major roommate problems. She came home at 3 am from a 10 hour shift at work and there were strangers sleeping in her bed. Her roommate just doesn't get it! The apartment was trashed and my DD had to go sleep at another friends! 7. I might just call on Mocha from some A$$whoopin' again! 8. I'm thrilled for herkle and her success in her excercise and weight loss plan. It's great to hear! 9. I am planning to be pretty darn lazy today. Read a book, maybe take a nap....ahhhhhhh!

1. HP- I'm a teeth clencher too. I never got a guard for it, but my mom had one (yep, her too). She would wake up and find it in the corner of her bedroom because she'd toss it in her sleep. 2. Fishy babies are all alive and doing well. they've grown. *Sigh* They do grow up so fast, don't they? I no longer have to make a complete powder out of the fish food for them to be able to eat it. I still need to crush it a lot but they've grown! 3. I took the ghost shrimp out of their tank and into the bigger tank because I think they were trying to eat the babie (and may have gotten one or two). I was nervous to put them in the big tank (bigger tank = bigger fish), but if they're eating my babies I'm not too worried about them getting eaten! And they seem just fine so far. 4. We finally kind of got snow. Like an inch. This year is just like last year where we really didn't get anything significant all winter. I think the plows really needed to come out 1-2 times last winter and not at all yet this winter. 5. I remember back when Wisconsin got good snow... I want a HUGE blizzard! The kind where the city shuts down! Two feet of snow overnight- not two inches! The northeast is lucky- you guys always get those good winter storms! If it's going to snow, I want serious snow- not get my shoes a little wet and wipe it away with the windshield wipers snow! 6. I have my interview tomorrow. Not so sure I want the job now, but if I get it, I guess I can suffer. The job is just for the rest of the school year but it's half time (7:45 to 11:30 am) and it's 65 miles away. An hour and twenty minute drive. Is it worth it to drive 3 hours a day (and have to get gas every other day) for a job that isn't even four hours a day? Yep- it would build the old resume a bit, but realistically? I don't know. I would have to get up at about 5:15 every day, drive an hour and a half (65 miles), work, drive an hour and a half home (65 miles), sit around and do whatever I need to do until 4:00, drive down to my other job (22 miles), work, drive home (22 miles) ad get home around 8:30. After almost 200 miles of driving in one day. 7. The job isn't seeming worth it now that I look at it that way. 8. I had this vegetable mix yesterday that I had bought at WalMart- with edamame beans, pasta, red peppers, and some other stuff. It was sooooo good. I love edamames! 9. Also, if you guys ever go to Sam's Club, I HIGHLY recommend the big frozen bag of Broccoli and Mozzerella Raviolis. Oh. My. God. They're good. They even come with a packet of seasonings because the suggested serving is to add some olive oil and their packet (parmesan and some other stuff) rather than just plain old pasta sauce. Ahhh! I was beat to #9! 10. I would much rather come back to edit and add one more at number ten than realize someone had gotten to 10 before me and that I typed and typed and typed when I only had to do one.

1. ((((Suits)))) I'm sorry to hear this is a hard week for you!!! 2. My mom and stepdad are heading down to Iowa this weekend, probably to see his mom for the last time. They don't know how long she has but she's 94 years old and, the last time they were there, my mom was helping her change and discovered a huge black mass on her breast. She told them it's been there for years and it's "nothing". My mom is a nurse and knows better.

1. Suits, I just finished my year of "firsts". My heart goes out to you and your family. 2. Kaili, hope your parents' visit goes well. 3. I thought I was going to have a ton of laundry to do today, but neither kid brought me their laundry baskets so that means no laundry for me and their rooms don't get cleaned this week either so a light day for my housekeeper tomorrow! Now that I have all this free time, I just may go shopping for my cruise!

1.Kaili-I understand about the fish! We have had a salt water tank set up for 7 years now. The only fish to have survived all 7 years (and four moves) has been our Blue Tang (like Dori) and our Puffer!(gee go fidure!) We had a fish one time that was just dead set on suicide I tell you! If we had the lid up-even just to feed them-he would jump on out. And he would fight with the puffer and the mini lobster we once had. Well....he only lasted about a month.... 2.I walked my DD down to the bus stop this morning already running a bit behind schedule and wouldn't you know it the minute we get all the way there she takes that moment to tell me she "forgot" to tell me she needed more lunch money and she also "forgot" that it was library day and she left her book back at the house....*sigh* 3.I went to cosco yesterday with the firm belief that I was going to get ONLY the things on my list,meat and freezer bags, $150.74 later I walked out.....with a cart full of "how am I going to explain this?" 4.I haven't worked out since Saturday and I my body is feeling it.....I need my pick me up!

1. We are having a snow storm to beat the band! So bad that my choir rehearsal tonight has been cancelled by the pastor. Now I have five extra hours! I should still practice, but here at the University. 2. I'm learning the "St. Anne" Prelude and Fugue by Bach. That probably doesn't mean much to people here, but it is a HUGE piece and is famous. The fugue is on the hymn tune "St. Anne" (O God, our help in ages past). I need to practice some more, but I'll get it. 3. I was thinking about driving to Manhattan again on Friday, but we are deluged with snow, and apparently more is coming. Maybe I'll stay home. 4. I am wearing 2 inch heels with pointy toes today. I parked up the hill one block from my office. Should be interesting getting to the car! 5. I have my phone back on and it's working JUST fine. WHEW! Got a call last night from one of my best friends who lives in New Zealand. She is visiting her ill mother in Ohio. It was SO nice to chat with her, since I haven't seen her for a year and a half.

1. i have had a really good week so far (excluding sunday's hangover, of course) 2. i will not be going out to the bar at any time this week i am happy to report. 3. work has been good, even on monday (i was really happy that it wasn't sunday then), and everyone has been getting along well! yay 4. i put in a bid for another job in my plant yesterday. i don't think i will get it, because a LOT of people put in for it, and many have more seniority than me. 5. it is the job that i was loaned out to for a couple of days right before christmas and i really enjoyed it, and it has a higher pay scale. 6. it won't be a big deal if i don't get it because i like my job now. 7. i am excited that all my shows are coming back....the bachelor(ette), anerica's next top model, and of course AI and survivor. geez, i think i have an addiction.

1. A little 'bean' is wondering where I've been lately. 2. I've been working my buns off at my rl job, with lots of overtime hours. 3. Like the little 'bean', I love my job too! (But good luck with the bid on the other job!!) 4. My boss went to New Zealand for 3 weeks on a well-deserved vacation. 5. She asked me to take on two important projects while she was gone, in addition to what I already do in my cubicle. 6. I can never say 'no' to my boss. 7. And when she gets back, those two projects are going to make HER shine! 8. So that's why I'm working my buns off in my rl job.
