Sooooo sweet ChiKat!!!

That makes me happy, Chikat. You so deserve a good guy. Sj's guy makes me happy too. Now if we could only get msg to step up for Lilty....

Hi Lee! Hey Lexine!

One of Aidan's therapists is supposed to come today. She calls on her cell phone to confirm before coming, and today I think, with the head colds and the crankies, I'm going to cancel. Unfortunately, she hasn't called yet, which isn't like her. I hope she doesn't pick today to just show up.

Oh! Aidan and Kara are watching Dora the Explorer. Aidan just said, "Backpack!" Wheee! Boy's adding words faster than I can count them.

Too cool, ChiKat.

Good to see you, lexine! ANd everyone else, but seems like I haven't seen lexine in ages.

Tackle hugs Deena!

I'm sorry about the head colds - if she just shows up, maybe she will just make it a quick visit.

Awww - backpack!

Hi -t! Work and school have been taking all my time. I've also been sucked into lj land...

My current class ends today - Functions of Management - I should have an A, but won't know for sure until next week. My next class - Organizational Behavior - start tomorrow. FUN!!! Normally I ge a week off between classes, but they are reshuffling schedules around and this is what I ended up with.

Work - we are still short handed. The gal who went to India to get married is back. The one who had emergency surgery is not due back until April at the earliest. I'm not having to pull overtime to meet deadlines anymore, but still doing more than my normal workload.

My birthday is in a week and I'm feeling old already.

Oof!

She's very sweet, and I'm sure she'll be accomodating. She's got little people of her own so I just hate to share our germs with her.

Deena, my niece and nephew adore Dora. It's a cute show for wee ones.

a good guy

He is a good guy. And, I talked to him this morning. Turns out he ordered the flowers before all the mess about my sister yesterday. He said he could just tell I needed flowers, but he didn't know why. His exact words, "I felt a disturbance in the Force. You needed flowers." He's such a geek and that's one of the reasons I love him.

Hey, I took something called Organizational Behavior! Fun class. Learned interesting things, like, any change can improve productivity over the short term. Someone was doing an experiment with light levels in an office and increased it every week. Productivty improved every week. After a while of this, thinking light is great for productivity, the experimenters decided to lower the light levels and see what happened. Productivity still improved. The theory is that it was being paid attention to (or maybe just being measured) that made the workers more productive.

Don't feel old, lexine. Your birthday is Chinese New Year (at least on the calendar I have on my desk) and it's the Year of the Cock! How can you be anything other than 12 with that going on.

Hope she calls, Deena. Backpack is an excellent word.

No feeling old, lexine. You're young and cute and baseball season is coming soon.
