I am in the Miami airport waiting for my flight. I will be in DFW for less than an hour later this morning, but I will wave at you, omnis and Daisy!

waves bye to Kristin

Sorry we didn't connect while you were in Miami. I lost track of time doing the last moment Target back to school purchases. Smooth travel ~ma and loads of recovery ~ma for the ma.

Took Brendon at 7 this morning. New plan this year because I am refusing to do the long drop off line unless it is a tropical storm. Well, we do have one of those, but it isn't going to start raining for a couple hours. I dropped him off across the street at a strip center and let him walk in. This was so much for the best since the line was literally several miles long. I don't need this with my standard transmission. I did give him a choice of riding the bus or walking from across the street. Considering that the center has a Dunkin Donuts the choice was simple.

Next up, dropping Bobby at his bus stop. I still don't get out of driving completely, but as long as I don't have to do the drop off line crawl it's all good.

We find out at noon if school will be canceled tomorrow due to Fay. (I hope so because school during wet storms is awful since they have to change classes outside in the weather)

Happy Monday all!

Blerg.

Yawn.

Yup, that's all I've got this morning.

::reaches for coffee and checks out pics of askye's new cutie of a nephew::

Update::

fridge still warm.

Sass is of the cute.

and these guys are really good - just ask them, they'll tell you.

coffee is required.

I'm delayed. We've been sitting on this Tarmac for an hour already. Looks like I will miss my Dallas connection. Joy.

Is it because of the weather, Kristin?

fridge still warm

Unplug it for a couple of hours to let the compressor and components get a rest.

when you do plug it back in, listen to what sound it makes, if any. write it down.

Even inf you don't hear anything, that might be a clue when you call an appliance place to ask how much a visit would cost.

Also, many utility companies have repair plans you can join and have a fee that's cheaper than any repair would be normally.

askye, you're nephew is such a cutie! Congratulations again!

{{{Kristin}}} Much travel~ma.

TCG is home today trying to figure out what he is going to do about the car situation. He's still a little sore but otherwise ok.

Wow, did I miss a bunch or what?

In re: Ruby Tuesday's: BWAH!

In re: Drew's mom: Jesus, man. Y'all need anything that I can do, just give me a call.

In re: Me: I have my wife back. All is right in my world.

Ok. I am near tears. I have an incomplete--actually the project I was doing on the Buffistas and the Bronze on choosing an Internet community--that needs to be finished so I can graduate. The professor advising me on the project left the department and teaching and now works at the University's president's office. He has been difficult to work with, to say the least. He's the main reason why this project isn't done. I really don't have anyone advising me, and I actually need some direction with this project.

I emailed him once again a couple of weeks ago (which I do every couple of months), and, as usual, I have gotten NO response from him. So I decided, screw him. I'm going to finish this project. I'll talk to my thesis adviser and see if he would be willing to help offer some direction.

He emailed me back last week and said not only is the topic out of his area of expertise, but it gives him the creeps (I'm not sure which part of it, and I didn't ask. Honestly, I don't want to know), so he will be unable to help. He suggested I email my English adviser and ask him. So, I did.

I just heard back from him. He said it is also out of his area of expertise, and he recommended that I contact the new head of the communication studies department and ask for her help.

Well, I've come full circle, because I did that about a year ago. She is not at all interested in the project, and I'm guessing she has some bad blood with original adviser because she said I needed to work it out with him--she was not taking on any more of his projects.

Looks like I'm gonna have to do this on my own. Which, fine. I just hope someone will grade the thing when I finally finish it.

I am so frustrated I could scream.

Ok. Back to Spanish.
