This is the third of the three days I took off from work and the first I was able to sleep past 8:00. I actually slept in until 10:00! My husband has so much leave time built up that he's having to take leave in order to keep from losing it, so he's been taking Fridays off for the past couple of months and some times Mondays, too! I told him ( Read more... )

Well, at least one day of it! Such a frustrating day. I decided to take a few days off to take care of some chores that needed to be done around the house and have spent this whole first day waiting for the Heating repairman to show up. I scheduled the work on Monday morning and was assured they would be here "early Wednesday morning." Hah! ( Read more... )

Just a quickie post. It's been so long since I've posted at all that you may have forgotten me or just not care anymore. I hope I'll be able to get back into posting when things settle down some time after Sept. 1. I really don't have much of an excuse, so I won't make any. Just I've been very neglectful of my friends at LJ, and I'm sorry ( Read more... )

Mason knows me! Last weekend we took some things down to the City to Kevin and for the first time, Mason knew me immediately! He's recognized strangers (i.e., that he doesn't know someone) for a long time, and always before he's had to stare at me for a few minutes (after not seeing me for a week or more) before he decides that I'm someone he ( Read more... )

For only the second time in my memory (which, in relation to OSU, goes back to 1965) OSU has closed for weather! Amazing! This administration is so completely new that all the old administrators who believed that we closed for no reason whatsoever are all gone and the new guys apparently want to stay home as much as the rest of us peons do when ( Read more... )

I'm OK. I knew I was ( Read more... )

I think I'm getting sick. It's probably just my imagination, or sympathetic illness. But I've been achy for the past couple of days. So far, I'm the only person in my household who hasn't been sick with something lately. wanderingrogue had stomach flu for over a week. We finally got her to a doctor for some relief from vomiting & diarrhea a week after it ( Read more... )

Another heart breaker for the OSU Cowboys. How can one team look so good in one half and then totally fall apart in the second??? Of course you always look for the positive. We scored 35 points on the team that OU could only score 12 against, so the offense comes off looking pretty good statistically. It's the defense that allowed 56 points to ( Read more... )

VOTE! I did!This may be the most important election of my lifetime! I'm a Kerry supporter, for those of you who may not know my political leanings, so I'm especially anxious for those of you with similar politics to get out there and vote. But even if you lean the other way, exercise your right to vote. With more and more of our civil ( Read more... )
