bored

Nice to know that Colt's grammar and spelling skills are most definitely up to par (look below if you're saying "What?").

Anyway..... I'm bored. I would think about spending some time outside if it weren't for the fact that it's freezing outside and my toe and fingernails are purple already. Dad insists maybe I wear socks. #1: I feel weird wearing socks around the house if I'm not going anywhere that day. #2: They haven't fallen off yet, so I'm not worried.

The Lovely Esmeralda pooped in my bed yesterday. I know it was her because she avoided me the rest of the day like she was mad or guilty while Loki wouldn't leave me alone. Thank goodness it's cleaned up now.

Speaking of Loki, he just hopped up on the chair next to me. He says hello.

Alice In Wonderland (Tim Burton version) comes out on March 10 2010!!!!! Only bummer is that it'll only be in 3D. I hate that stuff. It gives me headaches.

It's been pretty lazy around the house I'm sad to admit. Dad finally graded a class period's tests yesterday though.
Lowest grade: 10
Highest grade: 65
Woo.

Hope you have a good day guys!!!!

HELLO!!!

Hay everyone how's it goin' I now its been a long time since my last post(I've.....been busy)<-It might be the truth. I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, an tell them I'm very excited for tomorrow's Christmas party at my Grandmother's house. I look forward to seeing all my aunts and uncles, Especially my aunt Mary from London and my aunt Theresa from Fort Worth who has my godson(YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!).

Well see ya'll 2moro everyone.

Working Away

Got my junk all spread out for CEU catching up, ONS newsletter posting, ONS annual report AND ONS powerpoint presentation update.



The oven is self-cleaning without smoking the house up. Ham is thawing.


Children are segregated.

The father is snoozing until he jumps up when he remembers he has papers to grade.

My present is waiting to be opened and cleaned by the female teenager.



Listening to Hearts of Space music - lovely!

Catching Up

The cold is fading. I sound more like a real person and feel much better.

So now I'm cleaning the house. Updating the computers to current function. Installing months worth of updates - not always a good thing.

I'm also catching up on months worth of CEUs (continuing education units, I have to have at least 10 per year for my license but closer to 50 each year for my certifications. Free ones are my favorite and I've got about 20 hours of CDs to listen to and complete the tests and evaluations.

And I still have to wrap presents.

Today we have to go get dog food and Amy's gifts, then we are going to Golden Corral for 'linner'.

Tomorrow will be a full stay at home day. I love it! Just me and my family hanging at the house.

Just Can't Get Along

It has only been two days of time away from work and school and already the natives are restless.

One making noise just to annoy the other and then the other making faces at the one.

I swear you'd think that they both regressed to ages 5 and 7.

Seriously, wouldn't you think that this would at least lessen as they get older?

And then we have the incessent moans of the eldest native about sleeping too much and his back hurting.

I'm surronded by bad moods and whining.

I'm ready to go back to work!

These people need to cheer up.

I'm going to cook and make me some Chocolate Cherry Biscotti. That will at least make me happy. And then a Polish dinner of Pierogis, Kielbasa and Sauerkraut for dinner. Yum!

"Crap on a Cracker"

A big, BIG apology to my sweet sister, Mary, whom i forgot to say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to yesterday.

Happy birthday, Mary! Hope this is the best year ever.

I can't wait to see you and your family.

Today is the big interview at Methodist. I'm not really sure whether or not this is where I am meant to be. The pay is the issue. For one dollar more an hour, I would be going back to weekends and holidays as well as evening or night shift. I'm not sure that is worth the money. We will see.

Have a great Monday!

Explanation

This is Vernon with Billy Billy Von Billy from the Mud Show at the Texas Renaissance Festival this past fall. This guy is fantastic and so fun to watch. He has been doing the Mud Show since 1978.

I explain as I put this picture in our Christmas card that I have yet to mail out to you all.

My obsessive compulsion and organization have been a bit behind this year. I usually have the cards out the day after Thanksgiving. Not this year. I'm not even sure what really happened. Suddenly, it is the week of Christmas and I am off for the week and looking around wondering what I have been doing with my time.

Thia week I have to update a presentation of oncology treatments I am teaching in January and go on a job interview tomorrow at Methodist Willowbrook. Then i need to finish my shopping. Poor Amy has NOTHING, so far.

And last but not least is for me to clean my house and get over this cold that has me wiped out today. Figures that Vernon and I get sick for our time off!
