I've been a sleeping (and dreaming) fool. The meds the Dr. gave me make me groggy, downright sleepy and ful of odd dreams, but I'm not barfing.

Just back from San Fran and a comic book, drunken filled weekend.

Gee, Mousepod didn't even say hi!

Came back to no messages on my machine and 558 posts to look at here.

Oh the irony!!!

[MickeyD]

...last time we saw The Crue, he didn't speak to me for two days...something about my over zealous attempt to get Nikki Sixx to look at me!! Oops!

LMAO!!!!!! I wish I could go there, we'd have so much fun! I was just thinking to myself I better call and suck up to the guy who has my ticket!


When I bought my computer at Best Buy, they didn't have it in stock so they had to order it and said they'd call me when it came it. I waited until the day after the last day the guy said it would be in by and called them myself. The girl I spoke to couldn't find my info anywhere, then when she finally did she said they were out of them and there was only one available at the service center and I could have it directly shipped in about a week. I (calmly) asked her to look up if I could pick it up at another store. When she came back she said never mind, there was one left in stock, wasn't I lucky? :rolleyes: But when I got there, there was actually a whole stack of them......ugh! Oh well, at least I got it.

I can't believe some of the stuff she (supposedly) had on that phone....

[BarTopDancer]

Preping for a 2 hour drive to school.... It's like 7 miles from here. I hate CA drivers and the rain.

[Not Afraid]

I realize the only think aout being sick is that I miss the glorious and continious rain that we've been having. At least it makes me sleep well, and barf less. Hazaa!

[Baileykat]

Still sick.

Ditto!


Sinus headache and cheer practice don't go well together!

I have a date with a hot bath and a couple of Tylenol PM's!

Nobody likes you. Everyone hates you. They're all out without you. Having fun. If you forget where that's from PM me ;)

I'm trying to hold out another 15 minutes before I go to lunch... where I will be visiting Macys and buying a pretty rose colored pea-coat and maybe a new wallet to go with my 2 new purses.

No, Lots of Timtams.

[Mousey Girl]

I keep staring at my feet. I got a pedicure yesterday and she got a little happy with me. My toes match my nails, complete with nail art.

1 day left of my suspension. This was a very fast 2 weeks. I would be lying if I said I was looking forward to going back to work Friday. Today I got most of my errands done. I went to PetCo for cage litter for the girls. I bought them some new treats too. I feel guilty that I didn't get Poohdog anything.

I am also trying to figure out if I am hearing thunder or the gardeners across the street.

[mousepod]

Not sure who here knows that I'm currently working for a school that happens to be in the SF County Jail... but anyway, I just processed the intake form for a woman named "Precious Canister". Just thought you'd like to know.

[Not Afraid]

So, now I'm starting to feel better then by body decided to assert it's feminity on me. GDF - when will it stop?


Sorry, that's really TMI, but It felt damn good to write it.

[Gemini Cricket]

Sooo... I think I finally am getting what everyone else has/had. I'm feeling icky. Bleh bleh. Came home sick from work today...

:(

[Not Afraid]

Look. I've had THREE different flus. One with fevers or 102-3, one with 3 weeks of bronchitus and one with days and days of barfiness. They are are evil, but I would choose the Bronchitus one. It lasts the longest, but it is the least incapacitating in the long run.

[Gn2Dlnd]

So, if you turned on the news today and saw footage of red-tagged houses in Glassell Park because the hillside is about to slide down on them, you saw my neighborhood :eek: ! I woke up to helicopters and called the local news station to find out what was going on. They said 10 or so houses were sliding down the hillside at Mimosa and Ackerman. So, I types the street names into my handy Google maps (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=mimosa%20and%20ackerman%2C%2090065&ll=34.117981%2C-118.230010&spn=0.007248%2C0.019656) (thanks GD) and I says to myself, self, you should call the roomate and find out what he'd like saved, cause you live right down the street (Toland and 40th) and might be seeing, like, some mud soon.
What is going on? Train wreck suicide (or not) attempt a couple of weeks ago, actress falling out of the sky at rehearsal a week ago, roomate's cat put to sleep yesterday, mudslides down the street, I seem to have moved into a disaster-prone neighborhood. On the other hand, it all seems to be going on around me, and not to me. Even while everyone else's driving routines have been screwed up from the rain, my routes have been taking me around all the worst storm damage. Weird.
Well, time to go to bed, can't wait to see what tomorrow has in store :rolleyes: .

[blueerica]

I'm having one of those really weird days, in which it seems I've gotten out of the wrong side of bed. I'm not cranky, I don't think, I'm laughing at the world, and remarkably pissed off about it. I guess. If that makes any sense. A sense of sarcasm all around me.

OY!

Jim, I hope things start looking up for you. Sounds like you've had an eye-full this week, and just know that I want you to be safe. :)

We are dry and, I'd like to say happy, but, other than 75 year old plumbing issues, Long Beach is fine.

I am even feeling about 75% human. Not one of the energetic ones, mind you, but a lot more human than before.

Even Buster seems to be better.

In a roundabout way it will. From all that hand washing during those oh-so-frequent potty breaks you're probably taking. Nothing prevents catching a cold like washing your hands.

[Prudence]

I have to boast.

I just got an award (http://www2.cali.org/index.php?fuseaction=excellenceawards.ViewOneAward&awardid=214b70) for getting the highest grade in my section of Civil Procedure fall semester. It's by far the hardest class in the first year of law school. I'm so happy I'm crying. There's not money involved, and it's not the hugest deal ever, but it's another item to put on my resume. I usually get good grades, but I've never graduated cum laude or received awards.

Thanks, guys/gals. I'm celebrating by skipping the "study skills" workshop scheduled during our second class tonight. I've decided my time would be better spent eating frosting from a can while watching Survivor. (The irony is that I'm surfing LoT during civpro.)

[MerryPrankster]

My winter carb cravings have finally hit me hard this week, damn it! And I was doing so well. I've been baking cookies, muffins, bread and apple crisp to satisfy the cravings. Also eating pizza and pasta!

[CoasterMatt]

I sold tickets to a "Clark Griswold" on Tuesday - he was 13 when the first Vacation movie came out, and it changed his life.

Now, I'm cleaning up after an overclocking experiment went terribly wrong...

[€uroMeinke]

Sipping burbon - the coffee long gone, feeling giddy and fatalistic at the same time. All is quiet, but unnaturally so. There is grieving, and sickness, and simple exhaustion. My todo list still shakes its fist at me, and I raise my glass in its direction. The weekend will be here soon enough and the rains have let up, if only for a little while. Maybe then things will be back in my grasp...

Hmmm, but the niece is leaving the mountains to head east for Illinois- Chicagoland perhaps? Oh how I hope that would be true. Alas, I think she's headed for the cornfields just outside of town. The regrets and mourning that will come.

So I pour a little more burbon and feel a little less, numb, giddy, and impervious to the sadness around me. At rare times I can be an asshole, but I don't regret it. At least not now while I've burbon to sip.

Cheers to you, Tennessee Williams

Sitting at work, which has been too slow for my liking lately, but alas, what can i do..

westling with financial decisions and spending habits and projects that will never be finished....

today should be an interesting and boring day...yay

[MerryPrankster]

Drinking tea, writing out grocery list and reading LoT. I get distracted very easily, so this might take a while. :rolleyes:

[Cadaverous Pallor]

On my to-do list today: Scheming, plotting, planning....for MA.

[mhrc4]

were having people over tonight, i need to be home cleaning..... darn work sometimes

[€uroMeinke]

Breaking eggs, making omlettes, dreading the return of the plumber. Later some house cleaning - beyond that, yet unknown...

[Not Afraid]

Called the plumber, drinking coffee, getting to eat omlettes (yes! Real food!), needing to take on finances but afraid to. Hopeing the feeling better status stands.

[BarTopDancer]

Today = work
Tonight = clean clean clean, straighten up clean! Do homework and hopefully go out.

[MerryPrankster]

Ohhhh my! Yes, I do get easily distracted. I haven't been to the grocery store yet. But I've planned a Tahoe ski trip for next week and another for mid-March. And I've been on the phone with my sis twice.

Okay....where was I??? Back to the grocery list.

[Mousey Girl]

I had to end my 2 week "non" vacation. Not too bad, didn't have to take any calls. I sort of went to another manager (who is a friend and feels guilty about the 2 weeks off) he had the Powers That Be close me for the rest of the day. My manager was pretty cool about the whole thing. The Union can't doo too much for me (I dug my own hole) but they are grieving the time frame of things so there is a 2% chance that I will be getting back pay for my 2 weeks. Oh well, now I will have to be a good drone and push for sales.

My Horoscope for tomorrow:


Your energy levels could be a little erratic, CHRISTIAN. One minute, you will be dancing on the table. The next minute, you could be curled up in a corner, fast asleep. Try to avoid energy stealers like caffeine and sugar. Eat more protein at breakfast and at lunch. You also might want to take frequent breaks throughout your day. Try not to maintain a constant, heavy pace. Your body might need to rest.



I'm all for the bacon, but what's with skipping the java? This stuff is a krock.

[Prudence]

Today was one of my every-other-Friday-off Fridays so mostly I sat around and watched bad daytime teevee. Also started sorting through the boxes of things from my grandmother. Sometimes it's hard to strike a balance between treasuring an heirloom and running a museum. I know my grandma would want me to use things, but I don't want to break or damage anything. And what if there's a fire? I have her wedding dress. And a doily her mom (my great-grandmother) made with an insert of my great-grandfather's wedding shirt. I miss my grandma.

My Horoscope for tomorrow:

Hmmm...Your Free Will Forcast isn't much better:

Horoscope for week of February 24, 2005 http://www.freewillastrology.com/horoscopes/tarot_cards/tarot2.jpg http://www.freewillastrology.com/images/header.aqua.gif
Austrian Prince Pal Antal Esterhazy (1786-1866) was renowned for his extravagance. Roaming across Europe for decades in a constant state of vacation, he squandered his stupendous fortune. In one infamous stunt, he removed a priceless Titian painting from its frame and had it made into the lining for his coat. In bringing this to your attention, Aquarius, I don't mean to imply that you're as profligate as Esterhazy. But there is a way in which you're being as wasteful with one of your valuable assets as he was with his Titian. Fix this glitch, please.




Better not let NA know you're lining your jacket with priceless works of art- she'll think you've gone a little overboard on the Swank thing....:D

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

My forcast for tomorrow:

"Guard against being overly optimistic, but maintain an attitude that promotes progress. "

To many big words!

I've decided to skip the Long Beach Symphony tonight and go see Stompy Jones at Disneyland instead. I have my priorities.

[Kevy Baby]

In a roundabout way it will. From all that hand washing during those oh-so-frequent potty breaks you're probably taking. Nothing prevents catching a cold like washing your hands.That's assuming that she washes her hands after a potty break. :O

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

Keeping still and resting. Already I'm feeling less sick than I was feeling yesterday, so my Thera-Flu infusions might just be working.

Later I plan on napping. Reading. Watching TV. Napping. Reading. Watching TV. Sleeping. I think some cat snuggles might be involved.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Scrambling madly to get my to-do list done. Why oh why do I live in such a lame county where 9PM is too late for anything to be open, but 9AM is too early? I'd have my list more than half my list done if people would just wake the f up and get to work!

[Mousey Girl]

Sitting at the computer... Due to a couple certain someones and their constant talking of all things Sephora, I broke down and placed a (rather large) order. grrrr

I need to sleep. Now I am winding down to the sounds of the LM snoring. I love listening to him snore, very peaceful, relaxing, everything is right sort of sound. The scary thing is that his room is at the far end of the hallway and I am hearing him over his white-noise machine, Twich eating, Sniff in her squeaky wheel and the TV.

[€uroMeinke]

Bright sunny morning, but the coffee is still steeping in the press. I'd like to get out for the day, if just for a bit, but the Academy Awards are tonight, so we'll be home watching them. My niece should be on her way to Illinois, I missed seeing her off last night but perhaps I'll see her next time I'm in Chicago. Maybe we can go out for Brunch somewhere?

[blueerica]

About to head to work for a couple of hours, and seeing Steve off as he heads up to NorCal to do some paperwork...

Need coffee...

[Kevy Baby]

Nothing.

But I should be doing something

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

I'm going to head to a couple of stores to get coffee, a bread product, and some cat food.

I carry around a notebook so that when I'm reading a book I can jot down words I'm unfamiliar with. When I'm home, I look them up in the dictionary. Right now I have about 10 words to look up and I'll probably do that today, and then read some more.

A nap is also on the schedule.

I'm taking a short (35 minutes or so, lol) break from working....I could sit here and just veg....but I'm checking LoT instead....

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

Which words? Curiosity, it burns! ;)

You're asking me to reveal the depths of my stupidity?

For some reason "perfidious" always slips my mind. It's simple enough. Just means full of deceit, and yet I never retain it. So I had to look up that one again .

"parvenus", which turns out to be "a person of obscure origin who has gained wealth, influence or celebrity."

"ultra posse nemo obligatur". Latin. That was fun, because I basically looked through my Oxford to figure out the definition myself. Came pretty close. I couldn't find "nemo". So basically I worked out that it meant "a service beyond what anyone is able to perform". Turns out "nemo" is "no one" not "anyone". And it really means "no one is obligated beyond what he is able to do"

I really, really want to study languages.

Those are just some examples, CP. I had to look up more, but they're simple words I really should have known.

[wendybeth]

I'm fascinated by language- the history of, development, influences, everything. There was a great series on PBS years ago called the Story of English, which I loved so much I went out and bought the companion book.

[Baileykat]

We've been on a little semi-homemade vacation!

The kids were out of school Thursday and Friday for Rodeo Break! (Go ahead and laugh!) John had a week of vacation to take so we're ON VACATION!

Vegged around the house on Thursday, Friday we took the kids to Tombstone. It was a blast! They loved it. We watched "Tombstone" the night before so the kids would have something to go on...Kat and Bailey got cap guns which they wore in holsters on their hips all day...and practiced shooting the bad guys. Kat's guns are pink! So cute!
We watched gun fights, toured the Bird Cage, looked for ghosts, watched a trick riding show and ate ribs, which were pretty good. Kat and Bailey dressed up for an old timey photo..we actually got Kat in a frilly 1800's style dress, though she insisted on being a bank robber and had to hold a gun!

Saturday we went to the Pima Air and Space Museum. They have an amazing collection of historic airplanes and planes from modern age...if it had wings, it's in that mueseum. Even has two Air Force One planes...one was Kennedy's/Johnson's. Very cool!

Today we shopped! Kat is a shopaholic at heart. We've taken to calling her "Princess Shopalot"

Now I'm doing laundry..I didn't do any all weekend..like I was really on vacation...so I have tons! Eating my Berry Cobbler from Claim Jumper! Yummmm!

[Motorboat Cruiser]

I'm relaxing with a nice glass of Shiraz, waiting for the dishwasher to finish so I can start cooking dinner. Had a nice productive day and I'm going to end it with a plate of pasta and a movie, if we can find anything interesting to watch. We have the Minority Report but I don't know that I'm in the mood for that. Oh well, we have a couple of hundred stations on cable. Surely something is on. Right?

Baileykat that sounds like a really fun weekend!!! :) I have vowed to get an old time picture of the boys this summer. I love that Kat's guns are pink! HOw cute is that.

I'm vegging out after "playing outside" for over 3 hours in this beautiful sunny 70 degree weather we had today!! We played basketball, baseball(hit and chase LOL)and rode bikes. Fun was had by all. Now everyone has eaten and it's relaxin' time :)

You know, I'm still not a feeling healthy. All I want to do is sleep. Sleep, glorious sleep. I keep looking at the clock and wondering if 8:00 is too early to go to bed. THe sad thing is that I'm bored with being sick and tired. Nothing's worse than boredom for me. Oh well, tomorrow's another day and I havd a to-do list prepared. Maybe that willl help.

[Matterhorn Fan]

Lay in bed and read a book! It's rest, so it's like sleep, but it's not as boring (esp. if you're having trouble sleeping, like I did last week) since you're reading. Fluff book time . . .

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Those are just some examples, CP. I had to look up more, but they're simple words I really should have known."Perfidous" I would have gotten after some thought...maybe. I should have stopped myself from reading your definition first. "Parvenous" and the latin stuff were way over my head.

I wouldn't be ashamed of the "simpler" words in your list. One can't remember all words, especially under-used ones.

I love using scraps of paper as bookmarks so I can write down words that catch my fancy. I have this great envelope I used as a bookmark for On the Road - definitely a keeper.

[Not Afraid]

Read T.C. Boyle. That will be sure to increase your vacabulary.

[Matterhorn Fan]

I was helping one of my students in the library today when one of the reference librarians behind me said, "You're a reference librarian!" (I guess that's a compliment.)

So, in my next life, perhaps I will be a librarian. Or perhaps I already was one in a past life. Or perhaps I chose the wrong profession.

I do like to wear my hair in a bun sometimes. Hmmmm.

I'm procrastinating. I've got a pile of projects, but none of them have any sort of urgency or deadline, so I'm ignoring them. Tomorrow will be different, I think. But today, I don't feel like doing anything, so I'm not.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Ah....yup. Uh-huh. Mmmhmm.

Slacking today, just a bit. Did I have an errand to run at lunch? Hmm. Maybe I'll buy blank T-shirts for MA. I think it's a Quiznos day today.

I feel really good because I did laundry and am wearing a rather snazzy look today...complete with matching hat and fashionable scarf. Monday was jeans/t-shirt/sneakers day. I love how clothes can be a way to shift your personality. Forget Matterhorn Fan, I'm the double agent. ;)

[mhrc4]

im with GD on this one, i dont feel like doing crap today, so i am going to post on here, write some emails, and generally just slack off today at work as much as I can....

HA!

[mousepod]

I just finished last semester's attendance report (we have five week semesters here), and the current semester doesn't end until next Friday. I should be catching up, but instead I will work on my wiki.

(If there are any other geek slackers reading this who have any experience with wikis, please PM me - I definitely need help)

[Not Afraid]

I am drinking coffee - still - eating TJs Encheladas, and preparing for RE Study. I will NOT fall asleep. I will NOT fall asleep!

[Not Afraid]

damn

[mhrc4]

im just sitting here reading NA's double post...

[mousepod]

Public thanks and mucho mojo to mhrc4 for jumping into the wiki world with me. Structured and productive slacking. Wasn't there some talk about this a couple of weeks ago?

[Prudence]

Today I am envy. And procrastination. Why does my brother have a plethora of first-authored, data-based publications in peer-reviewed journals? Because he does not procrastinate. But I do, so I envy. I could get off my butt and write, but that would be effort and I am also sloth. Way back in undergrad years my boss had a poster of this ad campaign where Harper's hired famous ad agencies to do 1 page print ads for each of the seven deadlies. It was so cool. I wish I had that poster.

[UvaGirl]

I'm contemplating taking a day off tomorrow. Sleeping in, watching DVDs, reading magazines, drinking coffee...sounds good. The only thing is that we currently don't have a PC at home, so there would be no board surfing. Grrrrrrrrr. Decisions, decisions....

[Ghoulish Delight]

I did something!

I put in a request for about $10k worth of equipment. Equipment that, if I get it, I will look forward to receiving, unpacking, installing, and setting up...and then do whatever I can to not use it because I'm lazy and would rather sit here and post.

[Matterhorn Fan]

Forget Matterhorn Fan, I'm the double agent. ;)hehe . . . I change my status line for a while for the first time in like 3 years, and as soon as I change it back I'm no longer the double agent. Hmmph.

Maybe I'm not a double agent anymore.

Or maybe I am. Apparently I could go undercover as a reference librarian. :rolleyes:

[UvaGirl]

I'm starved. I need lunch.

[MickeyD]

I'm hiding from my grandmother, waiting to go out to dinner with my dad, then going home.

I was pretty productive today, I had my teeth cleaned and got the 15,000 service done on my car.

How's Baby? Was she taped?

[mhrc4]

looks like another day home, :( have to take care of getting a new drivers license, as my whole wallet was stolen. Time to be productive again today i guess

[Ghoulish Delight]

Hoping the products I'm waiting for someone to give to me to test are delayed even more so I can continue to be unproductive this morning. Then, after lunch, it's 3 hours of meetings, so this could be a spectacularly unproductive day. Yay!

[Betty]

I am eating my ham and swiss sandwich for lunch - yes - at 10:00a.m.

I get up early... at 4:20 a.m. actually so it really is lunch time. If I wait until my next break - which is technically lunch - it won't be until 1pm and then I'm not that hungry for dinner (but I starve until then.)

So - mmmmm... ham and swiss with a little mayo, purple onion and lettuce on a roll. The sandwich lady always puts on waaay to much ham though. I think she thinks she's being nice but I'd rather have a normal size. Don't want to say antyhing thought cause she's the only one that makes it "right" - well besides all that meat anyway.

[BarTopDancer]

I'm contemplating taking 3/11 off. I have 3/14 off. I would love a 4 day weekend, with 2 days of being a bum... Oh who am I kidding. I'd love a 4 day weekend (with 2 being taken up with MA activities) to catch up on my housework and chores that I keep putting off.

[Prudence]

I had the BEST morning! The Division I Washington State Court of Appeals heard oral arguements at school today in our courtroom classroom. I took the morning off work to go watch. It was so much fun! I totally geeked out. I took 3 pages of notes. I don't even take notes in class! There was corruption of a minor, medical malpractice leading to death at sea, and first degree murder and attempted murder (from a shooting right by where I work)! What more could you ask from a morning?

[BarTopDancer]

That sounds so exciting Prudence!!!!! I'm not even a law student and I'd love to witness something like that.

I decided to take 3/11 off. So now I have a 4 day weekend!!!!!!!! Gettin a hair cut on Friday, and catchin up on homework, more homework Saturday before I check into the room for MA prep! Sunday MA, then zombified fun and Monday is catch up on all my chores day. WOOHOOOOOOO

[mhrc4]

[Kevy Baby]

Just got home from work at 10:15

[mhrc4]

[Kevy Baby]

ouch, where do you work that you get in that late?Just an office. But with what I am gettng paid, I do those kind of hours when needed.

[mhrc4]

[Kevy Baby]

Went to Disneyland.
Still love the Mickey Parade.
Big sign over Tiki room is up.

Said Happy Birthday to Indiana Jones after waitng 20 minutes for it to come back online after breaking down.
Back home. Corned Beef Hash on the stove.

Today's a fun filled day of CLEANING CARPETS!

Oh yeah!

Tax refund gift to me...a carpet cleaner! Whoo hoo! Now I can clean carpets any ol' time I want to!

Let the fun begin! :rolleyes:

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Heard the familiar "Welcome to the Enchanted Tiki Room"Where? Were they playing someting outside the TR?

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Yup, it sounded like a sound test from behind the walls around TR.

Also, forgot to add:
A construction wall has gone up around Superstar Limo... :evil:

[mousepod]

A construction wall has gone up around Superstar Limo... :evil:

I am so excited! Superstar Limo is my all-time favorite Disney attraction! Hopefully it'll be just a paint job. They should have Superstar Limo in all the Disney Parks!!!!! :p

...or maybe they can put up a park bench with some shade. That would be good too.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

[Prudence]

Great big suckage. So I have these on-going issues with my teeth. Long story. Enough built up that at my age, and given my neurotic compulsion to floss multiple times daily, I sought a second opinion. Well, I got the full results of my second opinion. I *just* had a "full" check-up at the old dentist in January, and he filled three cavities but said everything else is wonderful. Results of the second opinion? three more cavities that need immediate attention (including another one in a tooth filled in January -- why wouldn't the old dentist have done both? Even *I* could see it on the xray.)

AND, the last crown I had done only 1 year ago, the one that I've complained hurts and doesn't feel right for a year and been told is all in my head, is actually an incredibly poorly fitted crown. It's so bad that the underlying tooth has been decaying (which was causing the pain and bleeding.) And so now not only do I have to get a new crown (which insurance won't pay for because the old one is only a year old) but FIRST I have to have oral surgery to do something called a "crown lengthening." I have no idea what that is, but it doesn't sound good.

I'm so angry. It's pain and inconvenience for me, and it drains our bank account. And I got suckered into feeling misplaced loyalty and it might cost me teeth. And as snotty as it sounds, having bad teeth makes me feel like I'm some smelly hick who never even looks at a toothbrush. I'm so angry at my (former) dentist. He kept telling me it was my fault and I believed him. Heck, last month he punched me in the arm and it shocked me so much I didn't even know what to do.

I need a freakin' spine already. Grrr.

[cirquelover]

Prudence, I'm so sorry you're having such a time! I know teeth issues are painful and expensive.

I know bad teeth run in my family. I'm the only one on my moms side to still have my real teeth. Everyone else was below 30 and (knock on wood) I'm headed into...um the next decade!

I hope they can get your crown all fixed up and the pain will end. I'm sure that alone will be a huge relief for you.

[mousepod]

Hey Prudence,
I feel your pain. I've avoided the dentist for a couple of years. Last December, I finally found a dentist that I could trust. He laid out the course of action for me: two crowns, two extractions (followed by two painful and expensive implants) and a filling. Last month, I had the two extractions, which included a bone graft (yummy!). Next month, the crowns and filling. Late May, two implants. But after then, my mouth will be perfect. Right? Right?

[Baileykat]

Ahhh Prudence! I'm feeling for you! Happened to me as well...

Went in thinking I had a little cavity...NOPE you need a root canal. Ok..piece of cake and it really was. Very little pain...I couldn't see what all the fuss was about!

Back two months later..having the same problem on the other side...this time..not just one root canal...TWO. These were soooo painful...I'm scared to go to the dentist now for the first time in my life!

I'm thinking I'll have to see one of those..take the lovely pill..wake up when it's over dentists!

[blueerica]

I'm reminding myself about how awesome my bed is... mmmmm... bed....

I guess this might or might not be the time, where I say I work for a dental office. I'm so sorry to hear about what you've gone through, Prudence. :( No dentist should make you feel that way. :( Do you live in California, BTW?

Anyhow, I'll probably send you a PM later, and I might bring this up with the doctor I work for.

Re: the root canals. Yeesh! Yeah, the fuss over root canals is the dying of the nerve, not so much the procedure itself. The procedure is basically designed to relieve the pressure of the gasses being built up by the bacteria being attracted by a nerve that's just called it quits, and to clear it out before things get too bad. The first RC you needed to do probably had a nerve that was already dead. The other side probably got caught a little sooner. Even though it was more painful, it is (I think) better to do it before the nerve completely dies, because you don't want to get a bad infection. Yeesh. OK -- done with too much dental information hour.

Back to your regularly scheduled morning.

Is there a fire alarm switch in your classroom?

[blueerica]

Is there a fire alarm switch in your classroom?

I'm looking around. I see a fire extinguisher. (My brain should be on fire... but alas, my brain could freeze the equator).. Hmm... I don't think they have one in here, or at least not that I can see. I expect that it is over there somewhere, but I can't be sure from where I'm sitting.

On a positive note: The teacher is being more proactive about us learning, even if it was slightly snitty at first (We wrote a program called Dummy... I think it was a thinly veiled insult at the class, though I fault her teaching skills...)

Oh well, class is almost over. Ay dios mio!

[Not Afraid]

I'm going to bed - again - you know, the place where I live?

[Mousey Girl]

Now that the rain is over and it is warming up, my allergies are kicking my butt. I am repeating, "I will not get a sinus infection," over and over. Since I can't miss any more work I am praying it will work.

I'm feeling really very pukey and I'm spending a lot of time in the little room - I think I ate something bad :( :( :( I'm off to bed early ! :eek:

Today, I'm glad I took a sleeping pill last night, but I still feel like I'm sleepwalking. I'm trying my best not to have coffee. Decaf does not cut it at all.

Why is it I can't sleep at night in a comfy bed in a dark quiet room but I could fall asleep any time of day, anywhere? :mad: Especially after lunch; so hard to stay awake after lunch.

[Prudence]

How is it possible that I already have every weekend and free Friday booked between now and mid-May? When will I find time to outline? When will I have time to finish sewing projects? Heck, when will I have a spare moment to myself?

But I now have a treadmill. I will now use the treadmill faithfully. It will make me slightly achy, but for my slight daily pennance will reward me with increased endurance, improved cardiovascular workings, less asthmatic wheezing, more energy to handle the booked weekends, and, last but definitely not least, smaller pants.

Okay, the treadmill doesn't exactly dispense pants (although the way I go through pants that would be superb), but it will allow me to aquire pants in smaller sizes that actually fit my entire butt.

That's so awesome. I joined 24 hr. Fitness just so I can do the same. Which is where I just came from & of course before bed I needed some LOT

[Mousey Girl]

After reading for the last 2+ hours, I went outside and had my final ciggie of the night. I played a bit with PoohDog (he is 1 hyper doggie). I will now watch a bit of the news, enjoy my Sprite and head for bed.


On a rather sad note, Sniff had another seizure Thursday afternoon. Nickolas had her out when it began. He brought her to me as it really hit. She ended up slicing my hand up pretty bad. A trip to urgent care and a tetnus shot later, things are ok. I am just glad that it was me she bit and not him. I honestly think she has a brain tumor...there is no other explanation. Twitch eats and inhabits the same space as Sniff, and she is a roly poly fur ball. I am prepping Nick for the future, he is handling it all very well (he, of course, didn't see the blood gushing from my hand).

I wish there were "Golden Ears" already so I can get him one... :(Just found out via the mailer that the golden ears are going to be 10 bucks a pop, $9.50 for kid's size. After reading this we were trying to remember what normal ears cost, but it's been so long since we've purchased any. If I were forced to guess I'd say $7.50? :confused:

[BarTopDancer]

I'm trying to figure out how to explain staggered lunches to my co-workers. We're supposed to go at least 20 minutes apart. One left 5 minutes ago, one left 2 minutes ago. Now I'm stuck for another 40 minutes. I'm hungry! :(

I saw a kid with a Gold Ears on today at the park. I almost commited a felony.
:evil: Apparently they were giving them out to kids who perform in the park.

Anyway, rode Buzz 5 times and got into the sneak preview of the new & improved Playhouse Disney. :snap:

Getting ready to clean up mold.

And crap.

This is shaping up to be an exciting day.

(Eyes well up with redness and tears -- I'm so allergic!)

[Baileykat]

I'm off to clean out Pudge~my children's lovely name for my Suburban.

Then I'm going to get my nails done...and picking up the kids at noon...and

heading to Phoenix for the weekend!


Kat has her first cheerleading competition! I'm terribly nervous for her!

She's the flyer! Meaning she's the one that goes up into all the big stunts!

She's in white on top!

Kat's a very brave girl- good luck to her and the team! (And to you, too, Baileykat!)

[Baileykat]

Thanks WB! I'm gonna need it! I'm not sure what's worse...performing or watching helplessly from the stands!

I think I'll pack the Valium! :rolleyes:

[wendybeth]

Watching helplessly in the stands is far worse. I'm a nervous wreck during dance recitals- I can't imagine how nervous you'll be! (Valium time for sure!)

[€uroMeinke]

So, I was lying in bed this morning, having hit the snooze for the 4th and final time realizing that, while tomorrow is Saturday, I have to get up early to participate in an all day workshop. Furthermore, Sunday, I'll be getting up early for Muse Adventure> The day off I planned for Monday had to be cancelled, as my part of the project suddenly became part of critical path - we meet in the morning. Hoping next week, I can sleep in.

[BarTopDancer]

I'm wondering why I am up so dang early. I took today off to get stuff done. I guess that's a good reason to be up so dang early.

I know it's just training, but it's one hell of a way to start the morning...

It's snowing here. I'm leaving to get on a plane in a few hours. Can I say how happy I am to not be here for this snow filled weekend?

[Not Afraid]

I'm goiong back to studying in just a few. Just when you think you have a decent vocabulary you find out that there's a whole other strange language out there.

Anyways, I'm behind. I test next Friday and I still have a LOT to go through. Plus, cats keep sitting on me an making me want to sleep. Oh well, I can always re-take, right> That flu kicked mu butt and I am not the quick study I usually am.

Made donuts! Yum! Mom was giving away appliances. We now have a mini-donut maker, a Mickey waffler, and an Exeter Quick 6 Donut Maker. No hot oil needed. Now I have a rack of fresh cake donuts and two tubs of canned frosting!

sitting here in my office at a client, just passing the time, this client is super slow, but I have to get their new IT person up to speed on some stuff, the guy is a complete tool, at 35-40 years old, im amazed he made it as far as he did without a personality or balls.

should be an interesting day

[Baileykat]

:rolleyes: We've finally recovered from our weekend...no MA for us...it was Cheerleading Competition in Phoenix!

Kat's team won 1st place in her division! They were awesome! Didn't drop a single stunt! I was so proud, I cried! :D

Did I mention my mother-in-law was there with us this weekend...well the day of competition, I took Kat early. The rest of the group (hubby, Bailey, MIL, FIL) were going to be there by 12:00 when comp started...well...hubby calls at 11:45...they are just leaving hotel...20 minutes away. They end up getting stuck in traffic...and after several calls of "YOU"VE GOT TO HURRY!"...they literally walk in as her squad is about to take the floor! I was sooooo upset they wouldn't make it. John hadn't seen her at all this season..no practices or anything so he was excited to finally see her perform...then to have the MIL almost ruin it! I was livid! :rolleyes:

But he made it!

We ended up spending the whole weekend in Phoenix..the kids had fun with the grandparents.

Now I'm decompressing...this cheerleader stuff is major stressful on the Mom's! Now she tells me she wants to give up Youth Football cheering and go competitive full-time! This means 3-4 practices a week..all year long!

[mhrc4]

Congrats Baileykat!

[€uroMeinke]

So, I'm sitting here at work, procrastinating as usual waiting for M to come in so we can get some coffee. I already finished the morning supply in the commuter cup. Stayed home last night and got a good nights sleep - the morning was perferct, until I had to get out of bed.

[Not Afraid]

Scoundrel is a VERY BAD cat! He wanted me out of bed so he kept knocking things off the dresser one my one. Each time, I yell SCOUNDREL in my fiercest voice and he's just look cute with his little black lips. After he knocked the bookend and several books off, I got up. I have no idea what he wanted. I think he's sleeping now.


I should go wake him up!!!!!:evil:

Violet used to do this in Heather's old apartment in NYC. She found that a squirt from a water pistol helped coax him off the dresser. Eventually, her aim got so good that she could hit him without opening her eyes.

[Not Afraid]

Scoundrel likes water. He's a baaaaaad cat - and impossible!

My friends had a squirt bottle that worked on their cats. It go so they just made the noise of the squirt bottle for the cats to stop.

Our cat does things like this when he wants to sit where you are sitting...especially at night...If I'm on the loveseat (which he thinks belongs to him after 8:30pm) and John's on the sofa...he'll sit and stare at me...until I get up..then he jumps right up and takes my spot!

Little stinker....

[BarTopDancer]

Boo and Springer will both position themselves against your body and the arm rest and squeeze their way down to the seat. Then they start moving so you have no choice but to move over. Pretty soon they own the seat.

[MickeyD]

Weird!! It must have been "wake up your person" day for cats! One of my cats kept brushing his tail against my face this morning, which he's never done before. Try sleeping through that.

Right now I'm doing nada. My boss asked me to spend the day calling around to get a big rental truck to take to Mexico....I hit the jackpot on the first call, so I think that should mean I get to go home, don't you?

[Not Afraid]

Bad Cat is now sleeping in the clean, warm laundry. I'm going to go abuse him :evil:

Of course, he might win and make me take a nap.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Now I'm wondering (in the wrong thread) why people don't get mad at their cats.

[Not Afraid]

Because they are ultimately the most adorable things on the planet and you can's stay mad for very long.

Take Jack today. I completely, unknowingly, covered him with sweaters. It wasn't until I was folding them that I saw this orange stripped sweater I didn't remember buying. A few sweaters later I realized it was my wacky Jackey fat boy who was content under a pile of sweaters. Adorable!

[Baileykat]

Soooo....I'm leaving in a few minutes...dropping off the kids at different sleep overs....and heading to Phoenix to see Motley Crue


Whoo hooo!

Texas Tech makes it to the 16....and I get to see Motley Crue all in one day!!!!


Yeah for me!!!! :snap:

I am sitting down with a Vanilla Diet Pepsi. I have a load of laundry started, dirty dishes are in the dishwasher, clean dishes are put away. After having slept most of the day I am finally ready to get something done. I have a house full of kidlets, but no Hubby. There is a motorhome parked in front of my house (Hubby's best friend's). Not sure where the Hubby is, but the kids are now screaming around the backyard (dog is locked in his run). Rodents want out to join in the chaos.

So, I wish I was the Tiki meet. The Tiki Room looks so good. I wish I could pack my things and just move to LA.

So, my bf and I have been broken up for almost 3 weeks, he tells me that he still loves and cares about me, and maybe someday we will be back together. He just wants to focus on the future and this will make us stronger people. So I don't know what to do? Should I wait or just forget about the whole thing. Help, I need advice, Thanks :D

[BarTopDancer]

If he truly loved you he would not be telling you that he still loves you. He would want you to move on and truly be a strong independant woman. He wouldn't play this "I still love you and maybe we'll be back together" game. He's playing games with you with hopes you will wait for him to come back, but he'll only come back if he can't find someone he thinks is better.

One of the biggest mistakes I made when I was younger was waiting on a guy and not living my life for me. It got me nowhere but heartache. Move on with your life, move down here if thats what your plans were. Go to school, work, whatever it is you want to do. Date when you're ready. But please don't wait around because he tells you that he loves you and one day you may be back together. Because while you may be back together one day, you may not ever get back together. Do you really want to have wasted any of your life waiting for him if he doesn't come back? And really, after the pain and heartache hes inflicted on you, do you really want him back?

Whats ment to be will happen no matter where you are. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

[wendybeth]

You know, Bellah- what it all boils down to is trust. Do you trust him- that he is telling the truth, that he wouldn't do this again further on down the line, that he isn't just hedging bets in case the grass isn't greener where he is heading? If you do trust him , then you have to decide whether or not you can live with his terms, or whether to set your own. If you don't trust him, then you really should move on with your life. I don't normally like to give out relationship advice, but I will tell you that without trust, you do not have a healthy relationship.

:cheers: This is for you! You're a great person with a lot to offer, and when the right person comes along, you'll be so glad you didn't settle!

[€uroMeinke]

So I'm sitting here in the Hearthstone Lounge having a second Manhattan waiting for the fireworks. I have no advice for you Belleh5, other than I bet you already know what you need to do - trust your gut.

[belleh5]

I wish I was sitting in the Hearthstone Lounge,drinking my troubles away with a Long Island Ice Tea.

[Kevy Baby]

If you love something, set it free.

If it comes back, it is yours.

If it doesn't; hunt it down and shoot it

[CoasterMatt]

If you love someone, set them on fire...

[lashbear]

I AM taking the laptop, so I'm sitting here loading my DL CD's onto it, and I've just finished listening to "Fantasmic" - there's tears in my eyes !!


Some Imagination, huh? :D

[lashbear]

OMG !!! The next song was "It's A Small World", and being the sentimental mushie that I am, I've now gone to pieces, and am using Toilet Paper as tissues, cos I couldnt find any ! :rolleyes:

[blueerica]

Awww!!!

Have fun on your trip.

We were all just talking about you at the meet yesterday. I knew you weren't gone yet. Hehehehe....

Have fun!

P.S. Where have you been? We really haven't seen you in quite a while...

[MerryPrankster]

OMG !!! The next song was "It's A Small World", and being the sentimental mushie that I am, I've now gone to pieces, and am using Toilet Paper as tissues, cos I couldnt find any ! :rolleyes:


Hahaha...you sentimental fool! ;) You could be part of my family -- we cry about everything! Just make sure you don't have any TP stuck to your face before you go outside. :p

I am getting ready for my day. The weather forcast calls for rain, rain and more rain. So I am going to the gym with my sis and then to buy Easter candy at See's (she gets some kind of a corporate discount). Somehow...the two don't go together! :rolleyes:

[€uroMeinke]

So, it's Monday - I'm sitting having coffee (as usual) at home before I head to work, wishing I just didn't have to head off to work. The park was fun last night, and we of course closed the park despite our prior promises not to. I'm already looking forward to the weekend.

[mousepod]

I'm sitting in the Hampton Inn Garden Grove, enjoying the free wireless for the last few minutes before I jump in the car and head north. I am a different person today, having been emotionally overloaded yesterday by the experience of meeting so many incredibly cool people at yesterday's meet (that's right - I'm talking about you).

[mhrc4]

sitting here, resisting going into work (nice luxury saying that at 915am ;) ) but i have to go to a client right down the street and am taking care of some administrative paperwork first :)

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I am a different person today, having been emotionally overloaded yesterday by the experience of meeting so many incredibly cool people at yesterday's meet (that's right - I'm talking about you).:blush:

Today I'm really damn tired. I have a checkup this afternoon but I think I can sneak in a half hour nap before that. We didn't get to bed until 1am - good times. :snap:

[Gn2Dlnd]

Sitting here, calling my stores for orders, bummed that I missed a great meet. :sad toot:

Ip oo nub someone, net it pee! - Buckwheat

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Today's the big Chicago concert!
I'm pawning over the events of the weekend.
Planing to take over the world.

[Prudence]

So today spring break was over and I had to go back to class (boo!) But legal writing was cancelled (yay!) Tomorrow I meet with the associate dean to talk about what classes I should take next fall. Administrative law? Business entities? Intellectual property?

[Mousey Girl]

Just got out of the shower...
Fighting another stupid sinus infection-positive thing with this is once the infection hits my inner ear stop itching...
Rodents are swarming me...
Have to modify the new, larger cage I bought last night-Daisy (the youngest) was able to squeeze out of it last night, right after I told David she couldn't fit through it...
Reschedualed my claw appt for tomorrow so now I can go back to bed...
**** <--Sniff says "Hi"
Princess Peach just knocked a small plastic bowl off the desk, The Boy looked up, shook his head and said, "Rodents these days." The way he said it cracked me up, just like an old person would say, "kids these days."

[MickeyD]

Right now my boss is out of the office, so I'm alternating between posting on LoT and staring out the window at the rain.

[Prudence]

So, right this very second they are having a funeral for a harbor patrol office over in the basketball pavillion place on campus where I work. And it's all very sad -- died on duty, left a wife and small child, yadda yadda. But here's the thing -- apparently when he died he was helping to secure a tugboat that was trying to escape. And he took off his personal floatation device because it was bulky and in the way. Which means that when he slipped and fell into the canal, hitting his head, he had nothing to keep him afloat until he could be rescued. And he, of all people, should have known better.

And so they're broadcasting his funeral on all the local teevee stations, blocking roads for hours, etc... And does it ever get mentioned that THIS is why you wear your life jacket AT ALL TIMES around the water, no matter how safe and experienced you think you are? No. Just "fallen hero" rhetoric.

I'm sure there's a special corner of hell being prepared for me even as I type this. I do feel sorry for his wife, though. If I was in her shoes, I'd be torn between missing him more than I could express, and hating his guts for leaving me a widow through a stupid, fatal lapse in judgement.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Right now my boss is out of the office, so I'm alternating between posting on LoT and staring out the window at the rain.It's raining in LA? Not a drop in Orange yet.

[MickeyD]

It's raining in LA? Not a drop in Orange yet.

Well, I can't speak for LA, but it's raining in Thousand Oaks. (I cherish those few miles between here and the LA County line, I tell ya! ;) )

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Well, I can't speak for LA, but it's raining in Thousand Oaks. (I cherish those few miles between here and the LA County line, I tell ya! ;) )Hehe, I hear ya. Sorry about that. ;)

Sooo....I'm enjoying posting and reading before I go on desk at 2pm. Ah, the luxuries of this suburban life, with its connectivity.

[€uroMeinke]

Home, back from the dentist with admonisions to refrain from eating and drinking for a half hour while that vile floride solution and other dental cleaning chemicals swill about my mouth making me want to vomit. I feel sorry for dental professional, the folks no one wants to see...

Otherwise, trying to catch up, viewing all the cool pics, trying to grasp the notion of my college 20-year reunion, trading emails with an old flame from those days, trying to capture the last 20 years in a paragraph or two because I really don't want to spend a week in Ohio.

[wendybeth]

Hah! If I have to go to Ohio for a week, so should you!

(Everyone keeps asking 'why'? and then trying to put a positive spin on the trip, like pointing out the flourishing Amish community and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, etc. It's not helping).

[CoasterMatt]

Cedar Point! America's RollerCoast!

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Cedar Point! America's RollerCoast!I would LOVE a trip to Cedar Point and the Rock n' Roll Museum.

[Prudence]

So, every so often I get in a pouty "everyone hates me; guess I'll go eat worms" mood. And then, like clockwork, I am reminded that it is so not all about me.

My younger brother (27) had a problem a year or so ago with a grapefruit-sized tumor that developed right by his hip joint. The good news is that it was benign. But, it's a kind that likes to grow back. Which it is doing. So, if he doesn't have surgery, eventually it will grow huge again and then it hurts him to sit, walk, any of that wacky hip joint stuff. And if he DOES have surgery, each time takes out more of the muscle and surgery #2 will likely leave him with a permanent limp. Not a worst case scenario, but then when it grows back again, #3 will do more damage. And so forth and so on. And because it's on the hip joint, recovery time is like having a hip replaced.

This really sucks. I know we Zobrists are a tumor happy clan, but dammit, 27 is too young.

Time to stop feeling sorry for myself.

[Not Afraid]

I wonder if the healthcare system is gonna work for me or not? So far, it's been a blow.

[€uroMeinke]

So it's the weekend and I'm still on my first cup of coffee and realize nothing has been planned. I'm sure there will be much laziness, but it may be the perfect time to catch up on things around the house - God forbid I should be so ambitious. I'm also thinking it's been a long time since I've been to Tower or Fingerprntz, not that I can really afford another media buying binge - but oh how much I want to and I do still have some credit...

[Ghoulish Delight]

So I should be cleaning the kitchen. Instead I'm sitting here posting, watching something I don't want to admit I'm watching (okay, it's Ghostbusters II) and will probably shortly transition to work on the evil puzzle of the damned. I'm sure I won't start cleaning the kitchedn until like 5 o'clock.

[Mousey Girl]

I bought a new cage for the girls last week. The only one I could find with the design I liked was a guinea pig/rabbit cage. It is just like the old one, but bigger. It took Daisy all of 3 minutes to escape from it. I just put her in it, since we have had her for a week and she has already grown quite a bit. Now she can get her head & shoulders out, but her tummy and hips get stuck. I know if she wiggles enough she will make it all the way out. I felt bad as I put her back in the smaller cage alone. I am hoping she will associate trying to escape with being in solitary. I figure another week and her tummy will be too big to make it out.

The Easter Bunny finally got to do her thing and now it is time for night night.

Hoppy Easter to those who celebrate, for those who don't Happy Spring!!

[Kevy Baby]

Hoppy Easter to those who celebrate, for those who don't Happy Spring!!Thank you for thinking of us who celebrate Ostara!

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Happy Sunday. I say something similar at Xmas. :p

[Baileykat]

Sitting here...catching up...trying to get the kids to THINK about bed....something about Spring Break, staying up late, blah blah blah!

Trying not to listen to the Lemonade Pie in the frig that's calling my name...why did I even make the stupid thing?

[€uroMeinke]

Sitting at home still in my bathrobe - ah for lazy Sundays. Thinking about Coachella, listening to the bands I don't know about, pulling the CDs for the bands we already love, getting excited about 2 days in the desert still over a month away. Smiling to myself becasue I had the foresite to take Monday off so the laziness can continue. Maybe we'll see a DVD.

[Not Afraid]

Reading about Marie Antoinette and finding that I'm so drawn into the minutea of French Court culture that I can't stop reading - even though it's a bit dry and I can't keep all of these people with numerous name straight. I'm about half way through and things are still happy in court. Heads will roll soon, I think.

When it comes time for rolling heads, I've got a great bio on the executioner of Paris and his family.:D

Lazy evening following a very busy, crazy day with lots of wild kids, eggs, candy, food, messes, etc. Nice day, but kind of hectic.

[Not Afraid]

Yeah, I'm wondering if I should read Simon Schama's Citizens next since it is about the revolution - or maybe I'll just kill myself reading that much French history. ;)

[Kevy Baby]

Worked my tuckus off at... doing nothing.

Well I did make a hearty and unhealthy breakfast: Cook an entire package of bacon, then fry up the potatoes using the bacon grease instead of oil. Also mix in garlic and Spike. When the potatoes are close to being down, melt a hunk of butter (not margarine) in a saucepan. Scramble up four eggs with milk and whip in the melted butter. Cook the eggs. Put everything on a plate. Pour milk into two frozen glasses and pig out.

That and I took down a ceiling fan that kept trying to commit suicide.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Nice knowing ya Kevy...

[Kevy Baby]

Just to be sure: that was breakfast for GusGus AND me. I'm not THAT much of a pig!!!

[Ghoulish Delight]

Trying to figure out where this weekend went. Finishing my breakfast of donut and decaf. Getting over the shock that the tests I had running over the weekend actually ran successfully. Wondering if it's too late to get the day after Coachella off.

[Mousey Girl]

...just stting here at work, on lunch...clock watching for 4:30 to come quickly...

...thinking about gathering all my tax crap together and getting it taken care of on thursday since I now have it off...

It is very gusty outside, and chilly...with this weather being so wierd and going from one extreme to another over night I am wondering if I will ever get over my sinus infection...

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Slept in, now just checking the boards after breakfast. Spring Break ain't a bad deal for me. My morning job goes away but I'll have to show up in the evenings. I can take that.

Now deciding which chores to aim for today. Hoping that evil puzzle won't call my name too loudly. I won't touch it until I've done something constructive.

Ya know, Burger King is introducing something that just might interest you. ;)

Enormous Omelet Sandwich (http://money.cnn.com/2005/03/28/news/midcaps/burgerking_breakfast/index.htm?cnn=yes)

Only a mere 47 grams of fat, unlike this beauty (http://money.cnn.com/2004/11/15/news/funny/hardees/) which weighs in with a whopping 107 grams of fat (1400 calories).

My arteries constrict just thinking about these items.
