Update

Here Goes....

Big Guy: He's all settled in on campus, he is getting along swimmingly with his new roomie, which is a surprise to me. My first impression of the kid was S-T-R-A-N-G-E... the kid had Anti-war posters on the walls along with abstract drawings of, god knows what, african figurines (he's white...with a very large afro) all over the place, some sort of African drum and plants... Well I thought to myself "no way is this gonna work". To my chagrin I was wrong, Big guy really likes him. He's settled in to all of his classes and is enjoying them, he's back to work at the "commons' 13-15 hours a week and is HAPPY! He's home this week end for a visit. It's very good to be able to give him a hug in person and not thru AIM.

Baby Girl: She started the school year out with Strep Throat...after getting that out of the was she's settled into school as well, struggling a bit with a couple of classes but quite honestly she really hasn't been very focused on academics...she's been holding auditions to fill the position of "boy-friend" There have been several qualified applicants but I believe that they may be called in for a second 'reading' before a final decision is reached. I hope that soon she settles down in that department too...then maybe she can get her head back in the books. She is also working 20ish hours a week, for now anyway, we'll see how the grades do.

Hubby: Some of you have expressed some concerns that I may have him locked in a room someplace...rest assured that that is NOT true. He's great...snores to god damned loud but other then that he's a great guy and I do let him out in public occassionally...when he's been an extra good boy. He is just getting over strep throat, but unlike kids, he had to keep working thru it, he's self employed and does NOT get sick days.

Gremlins: The gremlins in my office are starting to depart. I'm still trying to work out the email situation, I get every e-mail 23 times...yup 23!!!! but everything else seems to be working OK.

ME: I'm doing much better. My mood seems to have stablized a bit and I'm not crying at the drop of a hat any more....well I did have a day last week...but I'm choosing to block that from my memory right now. I actually tried on 6 pairs of jeans yesterday that I had put away because I couldn't breath once I put them on...and guess what? come on guess? Yup that's right every single pair not only fit....I could actually sit down and breath at the very same time. WHOO HOO FOR ME!

Car: Got it back after the Moose Accident...looked mighty purty...then I made the mistake of actually driving it someplace...got behind and asphalt truck which started throwing big pieces of asphalt at me...NO I WAS NOT TAILGATING, got hit on the hood...took the paint off right down to the medal...so it's back to the body shop to fix the friggen hood...I'm going to ask them if they can wrap it in bubble wrap for protection when they are finished with it this time.....

That'll have to do it for now....
