We're back! Dad got here around 1045am and we left for the zoo shortly after that. The girls had a blast. It is gorgeous out, cool and sunny. We saw the lions, no tigers, and bears - Oh My! ::grin:: There's a bunch of geese, peacocks, chickens, parrots, ducks and pigeons plus a variety of other birds. The zoo also has a small reptile house with a huge boa constrictor. Every time I look at it, I can't help but think about what a great pair of boots it would make. Heck - there's enough for a matching bag and belt too. Ok ok - no nasty emails - I am kidding. We also visited the Monkey House, which is so darn sad. Most of these monkeys were abused by their former owners .One of these monkeys was "disiplined" by being hosed with scalding hot water. This monkey was taken from a ZOO. God - the poor thing. She cannot grow any fur in certain areas because of the damage. I want to smack the crap out of the ball-less bastards who abuse animals. There is no excuse. None. I hope everyone else is having a good day!

Class went well tonight. Lord - I am exhausted. Moira has a day off tomorrow. It's a teacher's conference or something. My Dad is coming down tomorrow to visit the girls and we will be heading to the Popcorn Park Zoo. I hope it doesn't rain. :::YAWN::: I am going to bed - g'night all.

Any suggestions as to HOW I can get my links to align properly, without causing any breaks or spaces? I would appreciate ANY help! LOL!

More tinkering... hey- gotta keep up on my HTML, right? ::grin:: My new class starts today - only 3 lectures. The topic is Web Design and Marketing - the same instructor. The college completely dorked up my registration. I never got any confirmation in the mail (can register over the phone with a credit card). I called on Monday and it turns out I was never registered AND the class was full! SHIT! I talked to the head of the Continuing and Professional Education and she managed to squeeze me in, overriding the size of the class. Now I have to sign up for my JavaScript class ASAP. It's a $400 class ::gulp::

Ok - so I tweaked them over to the right.. I know I know.. I can't make up my mind ::grin::

I added a few pictures - over on the left. Let me know if they turn out ok.. I have been tweaking them, trying to make pop-ups.

Ok - You people need to sponsor Erin. She is doing a 3 day walk for Breast Cancer and needs a lot of people to help her by donating money. Please... she has already put her rack up on display. WHAT ELSE DO YOU PEOPLE WANT? Stop Erin's insanity and donate - PLEASE!

Hrm - interesting discussion started in Scott's comments about the best albums of the 1980's. What do YOU think?

Pssst! Just wanted to let you all know.. I did watch the entire movie before Olivia and I left for BabyPower.

Well - Moira made it to the bus today. Her eye looks a lot better - more yellowish now. Looks kinda icky but I know it's healing. Olivia has her BabyPower class today. It was cancelled last week because the instructor was sick and her 3 kids were also home sick. Poor woman.. Holy cow - The 3 Amigos is on Comedy Central. I actually admit to seeing this in the theater. It was also the last time Chevy Chase and Martin Short were funny... and that's not saying too much. Example: Bartender: We don't have beer. Just tequila. Ned Niederlander (Martin Short): What's tequila? Bartender: Uh, it's like beer. What clever lines... not! So, will someone please answer me this? WHY am I still watching it?? LOL!

Man - it's morning already??? ::::Yawn:::

Visited Mom tonight - had avery nice time. I did a few things for her and we went downstairs in the basement to her "craft room". I have to describe this room - it's just astounding... It's about 12' wide and about 20' long... FULL of shelves.. and tons of stuff in the shelves. I must add that my Mom is a self proclaimed obsessive compulsive and a pack rat as well. She is very much into crafting and has essentially converted a part of her basement into the "Craft Room". She has shoebox size storage boxes filled with a plethora of supplies - Martha Stewart would be jealous. She has also labeled all of these storage boxes as well.. example: "Thread", "Shells", "Small Shells", "Tiny Shells".. you get my drift. She also labeled a storage box for her labelmaker "Labelmaker". Duh. Mom must have at LEAST 100 of these boxes filled with ribbons, needles, yarn, foam squares, wood bits, scissors, etc... I can go on and on.. I will have to take pictures of this room - it is so much fun to be down there, tinkering and playing. I love it and so does Mom. It's like therapy to her. :::sigh:::

I have been getting a lot of visitors here lately. Speak up and post a comment! Let me know you've been here! I would love to visit your blog too... It's always nice to meet new people... ::smile::

We spent most of yesterday at my Inlaws house. We had a great time. J made all KINDS of yummy food. She is Irish so you can imagine the all the food. Ham, red potatoes, cabbage, Irish soda bread, and Irish farls. Holy smokes - was it good? YES - it was. There was food that Olivia could eat too.. she just couldn't have the breads. All in all - a very good time was had by all. Moira, her friend and I did the Girl Scout on the Mall scavenger hunt and we all had a great time. After that, I took the girls to my inlaws place, where we met Paul and Olivia. Moira was chasing her friend around when she slipped and smacked her head on a table in the living room. She hit the corner of the table in the area just an inch from her eyeball. Thank GOD she missed hitting her eye ::sigh:: Her eye looks pretty gross - poor baby. The girls got to bed late last night and we all slept in today. We just bummed around the house, cleaning and doing laundry. The girls were playing with Paul's new toy. They had SO much fun - Olivia loves flying it!!

Happy St Patrick's Day!
