got accepted to EMERSON COLLEGE, and as a theatre arts non-performing focus major too. WOOHOO!

ps. tiki, that quote is on my facebook quotes too. LOVE it.

The weather has warmed up enough that the water snakes* are out. I took photos of a largish one yesterday, then last night was given a new camera (Canon Rebel) to practice with before our trip to Paris, FR in May.
*mostly harmless, but all fascinate me when I see them swimming.

Congratulations! That's awesome!

I LOLed hard when I saw the quote, and then I even had to look it up again and read it to a couple of friends, who also found it quite pleasing. :)

Post a pic in the pic thread. I love the wild snakes around my place. Even the nasty ones.

I had my "last" filling this morning. I have now atoned in full for a dozen-odd years of dental hygiene neglect.

Now I don't have to see the dentist again for another 12 years . . . .

Holy crap. A vendor just stopped by with 22 boxes of Girl Scout cookies. That's a lot of cookies. I'll probably keep a couple for myself and then hand the rest out around the department, but the logistics of passing these out are a little bit of a hassle now.

I got out of my old job in time. I keep hearing from old friends about the goings-on at my old job. That place has become the first stop for Armageddon. I mean, I can't divulge what's going on but every week there's a new WTF coming down the pike.

So, even with the things I'm having trouble adjusting to here, I am so glad and lucky I got out when I did.

I still thank my Cellar friends for giving me the confidence to make that very difficult move.

Today: Friends who reach out to me, knowing me well enough to know it will help, and understanding me well enough to know that showing they care is really all I need.

I'm so very grateful for them.

My bookkeeper just brought back my books for 2009, finished, with a handy-dandy form for filling out my tax forms. :)

Now all I have to do is add up my medical expenses and I'm ready to file my taxes, yay!

Shamelessly stolen from The Blue:

Go Hawkeyes!

I read that twice and totally disagreed - Can't these people write clearer? Isn't that like all they do? Its another version of the double negative.


Oh and what Pie said.

It was some random dude commenting on the thread. Not the reporter.

I am done sewing for the night.

That makes me happy.

Good night.

Over the last 2 days I installed (on my ownsome) a 6'2" set of double gates at the end of the carport.

This will stop my bitch of a neighbour complaining about Clyde being out (when someone opens the front gate) and provide some additional security.

Only have a 4yr old and 6yr old as helpers, I have learnt to use props quite successfully.

Yay Me!! but owwwwww my aching shoulders from crowbarring.

Wow, well done, Ducks! Colour me highly impressed.
