I'm watching the girls softball college world series. Dang, these teams are good. I will not pay attention to the A's/Red Sox game tonight. I need sleep.

I love all y'all's lists. I'm afraid to make one of my own, it would be pages.

Though this trip is me getting one of the things I have wanted for the last couple of years. This training is GREAT and can open some new opportunities for me. Plus, my backup has been doing a great job covering for me, which reflects well on the training I did with her.

I have no convent suggestions. DH used to threaten K-Bug with aneast coast boarding school run by german nuns who only spoke Chinese and carried metal rulers. I can't explain...and I probably got it wrong.

I want:

• my grading to be done and my comments to be written and my meetings to be over so that summer may begin!
• a long happy life with ND.
• peace and happiness for DexH.
• my dogs.
• to write regularly.
• to lose ten lbs.
• a tan (yeah, yeah, I know).

I had to think about what I want, it took a bit. ( I think that is a good sign - it means I am fairly content with my life)

a little more energy/reserves- just as I get my energy up - I get sick , or my allergies actup, or the week becomes so crazy busy that my time becomes sit and stare time.

a bit more organization, which I think is a problem because of above

a lightweight , yet powerful cordless electric drill that I can handle with one hand. I hate asking Matt to do 5 minute jobs for me, just because the drill is way to big for me to support with one hand.

I want:

• to be able to get some of these ideas kicking around in my head onto paper
• to get a social life out here
• to meet someone wonderful
• to lose twenty more pounds
• to do more work in my garden

Heh. Suzi's convent doesn't sound quite as ... amusing.

a tan (yeah, yeah, I know)

Try the Dove Energy Glow moisturizer. I've been using it for a week, and there's a noticeable but not orange!tan! difference. My legs were scary white, and they're nicely ... golden now.

convent of Divine Love, in Philadelphia, a cloistered convent, home of Holy Spirit Adoration Sisters. They wear pink habits. I kid you not. Pink. They are cute and sweet, and not young, but way more upbeat than this protestant would have expected of cloistered nuns when I got the chance to visit there.

Pink habits?! Sara would love that!

(For the record, I am not really considering shipping her off to nuns. She's three. She says whatever the hell comes into her head. She parrots stuff she hears on TV and from us and her brothers with pretty much no filter on where or if it's appropriate. It's all normal. Just sometimes ... a little blushworthy. At least for her dad and me.)

Price to replace the laptop keyboard: $300. *sigh* I lost count of how many people asked me "how'd that happen?" I replied, "Do you HAVE a three year old? Do you know any three year olds?"

And it's the fucking "A" & "E" that I'm missing most on this computer. It's very hard to type without the letter covers on the keys.

I consoled myself by stopping off for a marguarita after my dress fitting.

Oh, Cashmere, how frustrating.
