What's Up

...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!
