My neighbor is having 7 trees removed from his property this morning. I got back from driving Moira to school and the guys were already here. There is 1 GIANT pine tree (damn scrubby looking pines!) that was pretty hard to get to from his property. So, the guys drove the big lift truck up our driveway and cut from there. Now - the icky tree is gone! Hooray! My neighbor is pretty cool. His wife is a sweetie and he has 2 kids, 1 in college (used to babysit Moira) and the other is a junior in HS (and he's huge - plays football) We are lucky to have such great neighbors... EXCEPT for the ones behind us. UGH! Anyone every see "A Christmas Story" with Ralphie and his family? Remember the Bumpus' next door to them? With 500 dogs? THAT describes our neighbors behind us. I will tell that story another time. Won't be blogging too much today.. I have a ton of things to do plus I have a Daisy meeting from 3-415. I get to rush home from that, eat dinner in 15 minutes, then head out to class tonight. Lord help me!

From Andrew If you could only watch 2 TV shows a week what would they be? Good Eats with Alton Brown (LOVE him!) and Trading Spaces on TLC Jennings, Brokaw or Rather? None - Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly Oprah or Jerry Springer? Oprah. I hate Springer ick ick ick Have you meet a famous celebrity? Well - I saw Elle MacPhereson in Planet Hollywood. She is *really* tall... and gorgeous ::sigh:: I got Margaret Smith's autograph. She was really cool. Jay or Silent Bob? no clue.. never saw the movies Monsters Inc. or Shrek? I didn't see Monsters Inc. but I really thought Shrek was funny. Coke or Pepsi? Diet Coke.. but I usually prefer water or coffee What do you generally have for breakfast? Toast and coffee... lots of coffee Leno or Letterman? They both suck. Jon Stewart or Dennis Miller are so much better. Lara Croft or Sydney Bristow? Well - again, never having seen either one... I still would rather watch Sydney from Alias.

The instructor seems pretty cool.. very straight up and forward. I like him. He's strictly a a code kinda of guy. He also likes Star Trek too. Hmm... coincidence? ::grin:: Surprisingly, I have picked up some HTML just by playing with my blog and getting help from people (Erin, Mike, ToeTag - THANK YOU!)

HI! I am posting from the college's computer lab. Apparently the professor will be running a little late in starting the class. So, we can surf for a while.. fun fun. I am so excited about this class.. I was worried about being the oldest one here. I shouldn't have worried ::teehee::

Olivia's playdate was wonderful. She and her little buddy were just SO adorable. I should have brought my camera and taken a few pictures. We ended up going back to her friend's house for lunch, which wasn't planned. But, it was so kind of her Dad to offer. Olivia really had so much fun playing with her friend. She can't wait to do it again. At least she will see her tomorrow at her BabyPower class.
