Ok - this is what happens when you don't post for a while... UGH!

Your Daily Horoscope: Distance indeed makes the heart grow fonder. Even if your tribe is scattered, you can still keep in touch. This is a good time to send an email or make a phone call, Gemini. Despite promises to communicate from both sides, it seems as though the responsibility of keeping the lines of communication open has fallen on you. Take this opportunity to discuss the things that you'd rather be doing, and why you're not rich and famous yet. Teachers have a hard time holding their students' attention. (Ha - they ain't kidding about that)

Erin set up the coolest site - you MUST check this out! And please - donate whatever you can.

I'm DONE!! I'm DONE!! My final is completed! God - I need a drink... or some chocolate... or maybe even sex! I feel the need to celebrate! Woohoo!

Yikes! I just read about Liz! I am glad to see she and Jacob are fine.

Ok - I think I have SOME time now ::teehee:: This past weekend was a blur.. Saturday I visited my Dad and Paul got called into work due to the earthquake that hit the NorthEast. On Sunday, I taught Sunday School, toured a Girl Scout camp where we might be sending Moira this summer. After that, Paul and Olivia headed home and Moira and I had a Girl Scout troop activity (gymnastics) from 430-530. Needless to say, the weekend passed quickly. My Dad's procedure was scheduled for Monday.. and it was delayed until 4pm. He didn't get in until 5pm. His one blockage (the 98% artery) was so clogged that the doctors were unable to perform angioplasty. So - now Dad will be getting a triple bypass on May 2nd. The doctor says he is in excellent health and is a great candidate for the surgery. This way, the doctor can get all three blockages (98%, 88% and 80%). Moira's soccer was cancelled due to the rain. Of course, it stopped raining by 3pm but the fields are SO soggy. I am sure they will clear up nicely for the Wednesday game/practice. I have been working on my final for the past 3 nights. Oy - what a mess. I hope I pass. Actually - I am sure I will pass.. I just want to pass well! I have been gettign stuck on quite a few things but I have been muddling through most of the problems using my books and the Internet (thanks again for the links Jason!)

which "monty python and the holy grail" character are you?

I want to clarify my statement below before I get slammed! ::grin:: I am anti-abortion. I believe that it *is* murder... no matter how you do say it. It's a baby. Before I had children, I was "Pro-Choice". Heck, I was ProChoice when I was pregnant. BUT - once I held my girls and looked into their eyes, the thought of abortion made me gag. Now - I do not go about burning buildings, shooting doctors or nurses, bombing clinics, etc.. People that are such extremists do scare me. Killing a person who performs abortion does not make sense to me either. I can see where there can be medical emergencies where a choice HAS to me made.. and that does make me sad. What an awful decision to have to make. And - God forbid in the cases of rape. There are women who have been raped and they do carry the baby and deliver. Granted - I can't imagine there would be many women that could (or would) do that. It's so hard not to judge I think what infuriates me are the people who just don't care..

Supreme Court to Review Use of RICO Laws Against Abortion Protesters Good!

My stepMom called about an hour ago.. my Dad's procedure was pushed back until 4pm.. I appreciate all the kind comments and emails I have received. Thank you SO much! Love you guys!

I did forget to mention that Paul DID find the problem we were having last night regarding my final and he stayed up all night to fix it! Isn't he wonderful?! ::smooches to Paul::

It's Monday... frickin' yippie.. had the evening of hell last night... working on my JS project. I got SO frustrated that Paul and I had a HUGE fight about it. He was helping me and I just got to the point where I lost my mind... poor guy. Dad is having angioplasty done today - I love you Dad!

OK - I want to scream! I have been working on my JavaScript homework and final for the past 3 hours. I am just NOT getting it. I want to cry - I am SO freakin frustrated! Missing class last week really f'ed me up. The instructor.. well.. I think she can probably program her ass off but she's not too good at explaining it. I feel completely lost at this point.

Moira has been complaining of a sore throat for the past 15 hours.. guess who is home today?

Last night, I watched John Leguizamo's HBO special Holy crap - I love this guy. It was SO raunchy and completely hysterical. :::sigh::: I think I am in love..

Is anyone surprised about Robert Blake?

I have to say this - dinner was DELISH tonight! I done good - the steaks were perfect! I made the kids Salisbury Steaks (they love those) with tater tots. I made a huge salad and threw in some Chinese noodles. The kids scarfed everything up tonight. I made Roasted Red Potatoes with rosemary.. they turned out pretty good. Paul didn't like them. The next time I make them, I will use garlic instead. "Singin' in the Rain" is on now. I can watch that at any time. Prime Time pretty much sucks, in my opinion. Oh - I finally saw "Me, Myself, and Irene" last night on HBO. I laughed SO hard... oh my gosh. I have to buy it on DVD. If there's any uncut stuff, I want to watch that!
