Urgh, commiserations Sergeant.

oh well.

Go look up some disgusting medical conditions, Sarge, and every time she complains of something, reply along the lines of "you think that's bad, my scabies has been playing up" or whatever, and go into gruesome detail of your 'complaint'.

lorin, when I was 12 I crewed on a sailboat that took us from Cascais around Capo Verde to Portimao-so that was the closest I ever got to Lagos. I have been to Albufeira, Evora, Setubal, Coimbra, Nazere, Estoril, Braga and Oporto...

where is the emoticon for "jealous" ? damn.....cant find one.

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate my job?!?!?!

Sorry to hear everyone is so unsettled and unhappy. I think I am having a mild allergic reaction to my boyfriend's detergent. I inhaled as I was starting his laundry. Usually I only get a rash from detergent, but I've never inhaled the stuff before. Can't stop coughing. Urg.

cov jr, stone - thanks. nothing to be down. she gets worse if confronted. his lodestone. i have an office with comp, tv, books, comics, music. i may put a fridge and cot in here.

we took them to see ZZ Top at the rodeo. after i wanted the keepsake pin and to hit the petting zoo. she whined so much we left her on a bench and went and did it anyway. we payed for the damned tickets and she wants to dictate when we leave?

so i got to pet goats, sheep, deer, a llama and a donkey. they had a kangaroo baby - but off limits. i fed them all to my hearts content.

I've realised that I need to vent my recent feelings of frustration and anger by writing.

I am addicted to procrastination and it is causing me problems.

I have an audit at work tomorrow and I am having my wisdom teeth out on Wednesday.

Peachy week!

Today has been really strange.
Item 1: Spring break is over, and classes have resumed. I didn't start doing the homework for those classes until late last night, and I've already turned in everything I did.
Item 2: Instead of being sent in circles by administration, administration ran in circles for me, and solved my problems in a way that seems fair (and doesn't cost me extra money!).
Item 3: My sister called me to ask what the definition of Pig Latin was, and both her linguistics professor and her boyfriend were wrong. She made me tell the definition directly to her boyfriend, and then gloated over his defeat.
Item 4: My sister then asked me where the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans were. (I thought she was smarter than that?)
Item 5: In the past 16 hours, the temperature of my room has dropped 5.2 degrees Fahrenheit, and it is still way too hot in here (it was nearly 90 last night). Temperatures outside have been just above freezing for the last several days.
Item 6: I'm hyper and melancholy all at once. I wish it would rain more. Despair is fun.
Item 7: At lunch today I threatened to enact a Ritual of Desecration, and nobody would take me seriously. Not even the other person at the table who has read TCTC and knows what a Ritual of Desecration entails. They'll be sorry when they suddenly live in a godforsaken wasteland. Oh, wait, we already do. Never mind.
Item 8: I really ought to be doing my homework. What's due again?
Item 9: I really ought to keep better track of my to-do list, but that requires actually writing one.
Item 10: Can it be Spring Break again? Like now? No? Drat.

Item #2 alone should make this a day to go down in history, Owlie....

Yeah, I know! Not only doesn't it cost me extra money, it actually saves me $313!

Good news! Batty got into grad school!

And I don't have to pay for it!

woo-hoo!

Care to share any details?
Did she get a fellowship?
What school?
Is she happy with the campus she'll be attending?

Congratulations Batty!

Congrats to Batty!

Today I feel whelmed.

Thank you on her behalf!

University of Denver. Masters in library science. And that's all I know. They notified her by e-mail this morning; a packet is on the way.

I am amazed anew by how lucky this kid is. For undergrad, she applied to one college -- and got in. For grad school, she applied to one school -- and got in.

Now all she has to do is pass all her classes this semester....

Wow...
...and she just had a campus visit too.

That works really well for your intended move out that way as well. Congrats to you as her mom, ali. You obviously did something right there.

Thanks! As I told somebody earlier today: one down, one to go!

They told Batty during the interview that they would be making their decisions over their spring break (which was last week) and notifying the applicants in late March or early April. So I was prepared to sweat it out for another week and a half. Glad we didn't have to!
