1. Pink eye is just a pain! 2. My mom swears buy wet tea bags on the eyes, you know, not soaking wet but soaked through the tea bag, warm. 3.But really be sure that you don't rub them like froggie said.

1. I have been cleaning all day today too, Hippy. I needed to take a break so thought I would check out what is going on here. 2. My mom is coming in to town tomorrow for a couple days. Yea! 3. My husband, who usually helps me clean, has not lifted a finger to help today. He hasn't even offered to help, not even when I had to haul a bunch of crap up to the attic. Not sure what his deal is, it is so unlike him. He is not on my good list right now. 4. Since my mom is going to be here, my DH and I might get to go out on a date! That is, if he gets his act together. 5. I started a new diet/life style change last week and I actually think it is working. Yea! 6. I want a day like Eggie had yesterday. I am jealous. * I am glad you are safe, Marm. How scary! * Welcome back, Tater! * Good shopping, Jbean! * Hope your eye feels better soon, Luv! * Way to go, Mamie! * Merry Christmas, Hermione! * Be safe, Froggie!

1. I'm home from the conference from Hell. The presentation ended up going well, but not before we experienced 581 obstacles, screwups, and frustrations. The three boys did great, though they were soooooooooooo nervous beforehand, I was thankful that I am anxiety-resistant. Their anxiety was so contagious it was palpable! 2. After spending those days in a heightened state trying to revamp the presentation in the absence of my main co-presenter, I'm now sick. Not surprising. My head feels like it may explode at any moment, I'm stopped up, my throat hurts, I can't breathe, and my voice works only 50% of the time. I'm praying that my head does explode because it will be an improvement. 3. I'm reading through the board then I plan on retiring to bed with my book - Angels and Demons. It is the prequel to The Davinci Code (which I have not read but can't wait to now). This one is awesome. 4. One of my closest friends is going through a terrible time in her marriage, so I would ask that folks say a prayer for her. They are two of the most wonderful people in the world and I hurt for what they are going through. 5. Something happened to my dog Henry's eye. Just below his left eye, it is swollen with two big sores - one that is scabbed and one that is oozing puss. Mom said he kept rubbing and rubbing it all day Friday, but she finally got him to stop. He managed to take all of the fur off of the area so it looks awful. I don't know if it is a bite, a scratch, or what, but I put neosporin on it and am monitoring him to make sure he doesn't scratch it. I can't get him to the vet until Tuesday. Otherwise he seems fine. If anyone has suggestions, I'd welcome them. 6. I have discovered that I love Cosmopolitans. But, I've had several in the last few days and think I overdid it. Too much of a good thing.... 7. I can't let Tater get all mushy alone. I love my TVCH family and the more people I meet, the more appreciative I become. Hippyt, Texannie, I really enjoyed our meeting.

1. Congrats to Froggie!!! 2. I believe that God (or a "higher being" if you don't believe in God) was watching out for both Ginger and myself the last couple of days. I was uninjured in a car spin out on the ice on the interstate, and Ginger is SAFE, although she lost her apartment in a deadly fire on, I think, Friday. 3. My problems now seem very inconsequential. 4. Spy, conference presentations are often so stressful that you can't even enjoy the conference. Glad you are home. 5. I don't have to teach classes tomorrow. YIPPEE, but I have a full day of other work. 6. We now have ICE on top of our 8 inches of snow. SHEESH! 7. I think that we should do something to help Ginger out. Collect things to send to her or donate $$ so she can get reestablished. 8. Ginger is one gutsy lady. She drives in Manhattan and Brooklyn! EVERYDAY! I just drive there on trips and leave the car in the garage! 9. Tomorrow will be a better day!

Thanks everyone! I'm so excited and overjoyed (and hijacking this thread)!!! Hippy - that cutie is my nephew (with my sister hiding in the back). I have the cutest pic of the two of us at Christmas but the darned thing is too big! So it's just his chubby little face for right now. Jrt - I had Chinese today too! Hope your pink eye is feeling better. And...GO EAGLES!!! Marm - I had a little spin-out on the icy/slushy roads on Saturday night. Totally scary. God has definitely been with us!

Ok, short story on the proposal...after last night's festivities (anniversary dinner at Red Lobster, and the snowy drive afterwards) we decided to just spend the day at home. The BF was insisting since Friday that we were going to order Chinese food on Sunday. Being the Chinese food nut that I am, I wasn't complaining. So we order the food and the BF goes to pick it up. He gets home about 20 mins. later and we begin to chow down. After stuffing myself I begin to clean up but the BF insists I eat my fortune cookie first. So I take the cookie and crack it open only to smash the thing and make a mess. Being the neat freak that I am, I immediately run to the trash can to brush the crumbs into it. I read my fortune, no big deal, standard fortune. As I'm about to throw the other half of the cookie into the trash I see that there's another piece of paper in it. I thought, oh I got another fortune! So silly me reads it ("Will you marry me?") and thinks its a joke, that I got a faulty cookie. I turn to tell the BF about my stroke of luck only to see him on his knee with the ring in his hand! I was instantly in tears while still half-thinking it was a joke. He had to keep asking me and pushing the ring at me until I finally realized it was true! He was asking me to marry him! So of course I said yes, and he put the ring on my finger, and all was great! Then I started crying again, only this time it was because I looked and felt so horrible - no shower, still in my pajamas, and now with Chinese food breathe! But he said he loves me anyway and the proposal still stands! LOL

1. Again, sorry to everyone for hijacking this thread! 2. The picture of the ring is in my folder. It's not on my hand, it's just the picture from the store where he bought it. I tried to take a pic of it on my hand but they keep coming out blurry! I'll try again tomorrow though after the nails are all spiffed up!
