...really, not much.
the last snowfall of the season, I hope!
a continuing education class tomorrow, that I just registered for today (oops!), on stroke rehabilitation (cool!)
kinda watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (or Flagon of Flame as my husband says!)
I. is out for spring break. A. will be here Wed.
kinda put away my winter clothes and brought out all of my spring and summer stuff - I have no space for my clothes anywhere and so I cleaned out a dresser we were using for linens and will put my clothes there (we have a wierd living arrangement - I sleep in 'A.'s room' when she's not here (which is >350 days/year), so really it's my room, but because we want the kids to feel like they have their own space here, it's 'her room'. therefore, i just sleep in a bed in there - my clothes have to go somewhere else - a pita and something that i am hoping will be able to be changed, maybe when she officially leaves home for college?). anyway, i have tons of new, awesome, really cute clothes cuz i can't stop shopping this spring, so yesterday, i pulled out 4 lawn and leaf size bags of old clothes that will go to goodwill - at least i'm good about getting rid of stuff when i bring new stuff in :)
no new mattresses - the saleperson was SO annoying, i couldn't wait to get away from him and didn't even look at mattresses. i'll try again somewhere else...
i made chicken potpie tonight for dinner - yum! lots of sweet onions and it was really, really good - just what i needed today!
my folks go to Vegas tomorrow - their favorite vacation spot. apparently i'm dumb - my mother had to show me, yet again, how to feed her damn fish - i think i can do that - i've done it how many times??? uggghhhh - parents!
i found another paris webcam - cool! i need to find a london webcam that i can put on my igoogle - any ideas??
i wonder why i continue to go to the blog of a former (?) friend - morbid curiosity, mostly - i haven't seen her in over 3 years and she has made no effort to get in touch with me, nor i her, i guess, after she promised to call me to meet me and never did 2-3 years ago. it's like that line in The Big Chill that William Hurt's character said "a long time ago we knew each other for a short period of time; you don't know anything about me. It was easy back then. No one had a cushier berth than we did. It's not surprising our friendship could survive that. It's only out there in the real world that it gets tough." it's not that i don't care about her, but i guess i know where i stand in her life - pretty close to the bottom of her list. kinda sucky...
i bought the new Biggest Loser book - kind of an inspirational book more than a how-to book and each time i watch the show or read something about the people on there, i am so very happy that i have chosen, and will not ever choose, to have surgery to lose weight. it really sucks being fat (and having a brain tumor and thyroid disease), but i know that if i set my mind to it (and with me, that is truly >90% of the battle), i will be able to do it and keep it off and be healthy. i don't have to worry about malnutrition, dehydration, rickets, vitamin deficiencies, etc, etc all for the wont of being thin. believe me, there truly are worse things than being fat and i'm not willing to be sliced open and have parts of me extricated just so i look a certain way. deal with it...
whoa - listen to me rant - must be having major attitude problems today :) love ya!

Some New Blogs I Love
Brook's Blog
A Map for Saturday's creator/star, Brook Silva-Brag, is off a new adventure - travelling with the boys from The World by Road by car through Africa. Wow. Amazing, yet very scary with all the political turmoil. I really admire them and can't wait to see the final product.
Political Bitches
You go girls! These young women are taking a stand and fighting back and not believing everything that the American press regurgitates over and over again. It's so awesome to see young people (ugghh - does that make me sound old or what?) take an interest in where our country is heading. And man have we been heading in THE TOTALLY WRONG DIRECTION for the past 8 years (in case you were wondering where I stand).
London Daily Photo
Pretty much the title explains it all...
Cheltenham Daily Photo
Again, the tittle says it all...
Paris Daily Photo
Self explanatory again
A game I found and love - Know Your World?

Where I've Been
OK - really not that earth shattering - and actually it's kind of embarassing, but I haven't signed into blogger for 3 mos. because I have my i-google set up just the way I like it and when I sign into blogger, it changes and then I have to figure out how to get it back. Yah - that's really it - dumb! But I love my i-google! I have my news stuff, my daily puppy, my Einstein quote, the moon phases, daily quotes and best of all - world webcam and Eiffel Tower webcam, and the world sunlight map - I am loving watching how this changes with the changing of the seasons! Yep - I'm a nerd!
So, as long as I'm here ( and why am I here anyway? I just watched A Map for Saturday and had to post on the filmaker's blog and had to sign in), here's what's up:
1. SIL is in Omaha continuing with her physical rehabilitation after her aneurysm - doing better, but her longterm prognosis will include some significant disabilities
2. Hubby has been with SIL for more than 10 out of the last 12 weeks, either in Reno or now Omaha, being a great brother and really being the rock in his family - good for him!
3. Kami still limps sometime cuz of her shoulder injury last summer and I'm contemplating if I should take her in or maybe it just needs more time?
4. I might survive winter - it's finally March - thank goodness!
5. Did I call The Amazing Race or what? Yah - I rule! Actually, by the end I wanted Don and Nicolas to win. A great race. I still wanna do it - any takers?!
6. Still working and finally got my building to see the light - more Med A's = more revenue = keeps us busier = we both get to stay and work FT at the building (not that my job was at risk, but it means that I if only I could find someone to take the management position at the other building, I'd have enough to do at my building). We are doing 12 short-term rehab suites compleste with flat screens, recliners, etc - yay! We may even be looking at a new addition that will include a new therapy department. YAY!
7. Haven't moved my ass all winter long and it looks like it - ugghhh! I hate winter - why do I still live in MN???
8. Current Favorites:
TV - The Biggest Loser, America's Next Top Model and Free Radio. I've also been watching Survivor and Supernanny cuz there's nothing on and why try to do anything than watch tv during the long, cold evenings at home alone?!! (I need spring!) I caught the premiere of Living with the Mek on the Travel Channel, but they moved it to 9:00 p.m. on Sunday nights and I need to start getting ready for bed early on Sunday nights to prepare for the week ahead, so I haven't stayed up on that. I've found 2 Scooby Doo shows on from 5-6 p.m., so that's filling my dinner hour instead of re-re-re-watching M*A*S*H* (don't get me wrong, I love it, just needed a break). Just got done with A Map For Saturday - it's a link on the main page and well worth watching - it brought back all those wanderlust feelings - I LOVE to travel...
Music - Quite a few new songs, but can't currently think of the names of said songs - I'll get back to this!
Movies - really liked Juno (didn't care for the soundtrack that much, but the movie was great). Saw National Treasure II - good, but not quite as good as the first. These were both way back in January - I really haven't gone to see anything since. I want to see The Bucket List, hmmmm... what else is out there? I just watched Rumor Has It tonight - great movie, loved it and probably one I need to own. I love Jennifer Anniston!
Books - I just finished Valerie Bertinelli's book - Losing It...And Gaining My Life Back One Pound At a Time - highly recommend it. While I'm not a celebrity, I can identify so much with what she's written. I have A New Earth scheduled next cuz I was thinking of doing Oprah's online class - we'll see if that gets done. I also have eat, pray, love waiting in the wings, a ton of magazines and a ton of re-reads that need to be done. Oh yah, I just did some re-reads on The Cat Who... books I have (sold the majoruty at a gargae sale a few years ago) and read the new one (easy, light reading there).
Online - London, Paris and Cheltenham Daily Photo blogs, The Amazing Race site, Go Fug Yourself, The Leaky Cauldron, MuggleNet, London Underground Blogger, jpfitness Forum, soap pirate blog. I make the rounds on these daily.
Sooooo.........that's it in a nutshell! I'll try to be back sooner than the 3 month mark!
