Wow, no posts since yesterday (early) afternoon?? I thought for sure there would have been some posts since then. I guess Fox is having a hottie drought (sp? I've typed that out a few ways & NONE of them look right! LOL!). Let's see....yesterday was kind of a continuation of Thurs.- you know how you have those off kilter days where there's a lot of [crummy] stuff to do, and you have no energy and yet you really just don't care. Or at least care enough to get too mad about it or get you moving to get it done. LOL, maybe it's just plain old laziness. I brought not one book, but two to read on the bus on the way to work & then home, and I never pulled either out- I just listened to my CDs. Kevin had night driving (instructing new students) last night, so it was just us girls (me & the cat). The "there's so much to do and I don't know where to start and don't care to start" feeling came home with me as well. So I just tinkered around a little- got some laundry started & the dishes done. The water pump on our freezer went out, so Kevin worked on that (it's now an electrical thing) up to the time he went to work at 4:30 (we probably passed each other on 101, LOL). Someone came by & looked at the wiring and said it was Mickey Mouse wiring; I believe it's the original wiring. The same guy's going to come by & fix it at some point some weekend soon. Fortunately, the freezer is also fan cooled, so there's a backup; and better yet, we were around when it happened (as opposed to being on vacation as has happened before- freezer died & we had to throw out a lot of stuff since we were gone 2 weeks and no way of really telling when it went out). So.....I've been laying low today. With the weather changes (big drop in temps & big increase in humidity) came sinus headaches. I figure there's always something I can do no matter what, so today, I've gone through old magazines & cleaning up the computer files. Didn't finish either one, but I already knew that it's going to be an ongoing process. As I tell Jen, "one day at a time". We had a potluck at work yesterday- let's just say rules were broken (diet rules, that is!) ;-P It was great food though....

Man, we have a lot of malcontents out here today (at the marina). We have a finger of land that goes around the marina where we are where people go out walking their dogs & fishing (the bay's on the other side of it). People are notorious around here for not having their dogs on leashes, which is not really good. So this guy has his dog on a leash & there's two German Shepherds that come up to it and there's all this savage barking (which is what caught my attention). The two German Shepherds' owner is way past them heading to the parking lot (i.e., no leash) and the guy with the leashed dog yells at them to get away and then at the owner. I couldn't tell what they yelled since there's other noise, but I don't think they were 'pleasantries' LOL. We have another "party boat" as we call them at our dock- the slips are 60 ft and their boat's 65-70 ft long, so they don't really fit anyway. Well, they've been taking people out - like 20 to 30 at a time, which means all these people walk by us to get to the boat. My insurance-laden mind immediately thinks of liability and who's covering it. (If they get hurt while messing with something of ours....) Not to mention that they're noisy when they come back at 9:30 on a weeknight. Tonight, they brought a bus (yes, a BUS) that's parked out in our not very large parking area (at least they had the smarts to park it in one of the long 'side' spots). Fortunately we are the only ones thinking of this- we have a dockmate who is also very protective of our area. I really think that's what separates the "liveaboards" from the "weekenders"- we liveaboards are *very* protective- someone ties the gate open, we close it. We watch out for each other. I'm almost sure the office isn't aware of this going on - yet. None of the boats (that I know of, at least on our dock) takes people out like this, so that's why I'm a bit hedgy about it. I just don't like a lot of strangers constantly being on our dock (this is the 3rd time they've taken people out since they've docked the boat here earlier this week). I'll keep ya'll posted.

Teri-It was great talking to you yesterday! Sorry I haven't been around; I've been running from here to there at work (hmm....may explain the lack of wanting to do anything LOL!). Wow, FOUR times now in one week!! Let's hope that it's not another two before you can post now. ;-) I hope he replies to you! Maybe once he gets back he will. He hasn't been on for a few days, so I don't know if he's still in Israel or not.

Sherry-LOL, you sound a bit like me when you say that you "shouldn't be playing on the computer"- I think that a lot when I *should* be getting stuff done at work LOL! I hope your exam went great! I'm sure you passed with flying colors. You know, I like that commercial- it's catchy! Either I'm watching Fox too much or I'm just going crazy, but I find myself think-singing to it, even when it's not on. Too bad it's so short! :-) I hope the weight watchers thing is going well for you! That's the program I did & lost 35 lbs. I gained about 8 of it back, but I'm getting back on track (save for yesterday's grub-out). If you ever need support, I'm here. Pants getting tight is a *definite* incentive to get back on track. My hardest things are carbs. And cakey things. Once you get past that first week or two, I think the feeling good takes over and makes it all worth it (kind of like exercise- once started, it feels great). I've heard of Curves and have heard great things about them. Don't give up! :-)

Jen- Oh, Jen.....I hope your gallbladder situation improves, and quick! PLEASE keep me posted!! I'll be praying for you girl! Yeah....you know how men can be.

Jayel- Argh....don't even get me started on Camejo. I don't see Arianna as a threat- not enough brains to really be one. But Camejo- well, he probably doesn't really have the support but his ideas just scare the crap out of me (which manifests itself in me as defensiveness and overall irritation- i.e., yelling at the TV LOL). He actually ran as a socialist in one of the presidental elections. Wasn't that not understanding why 'illegals' are 'illegal' a gem? That was one of the points that set me off- when he more or less called people of European descent illegals too. Grrr..... On a better note...I've been trying to think of a name for Jeff, and the best I can come up with is "G Man Gals"- but I'm sure that's been used somewhere (as it sounds familiar) and I wouldn't want someone to think we're talking about Geraldo. Back to the drawing board, LOL! LOL, I couldn't think of anything either that would fit "Jeff" or "Goldblatt". Goldy's Gals? Nah- that sounds too close to "Golden Girls"- we ain't there yet! LOL! This one's a toughie. The bombings at the hotels are scary; hope they stay safe over there. "It would be a "Big Happy" for me if Rick and the rest of the missing hotties would make a return." <----- you said it, girl! This was a dry week indeed (well, with exception for the one Rick sighting & the couple of Todd and Adam sightings earlier in the week). I haven't gotten a reply from Todd yet- one of you gals may have to send one for me to ask for a photo (my birthday *is* coming up in a month & a half or so....). Maybe he doesn't get that many emails like that asking for signed photos & in general- maybe it freaked him out LOL. I was kind of surprised too- I would *assume* that it was the correct email (same as everyone elses: firstname.lastname@foxnews.com). I've been wondering the same thing too about his personality- he seems laid back, but at the same time not very approachable or *something*..... I'm not surprised either that Rick, Adam & Jeff responded- they seem people friendly. Maybe that's it- maybe Todd's not very people friendly (you know how some people are and others aren't- it's not necessarily a bad thing). Surprisingly enough, I'm somewhat the same way. When I'm home, I'm home- we don't do much with other people, really. I have a hard time making friends; which is why I'm so glad you're all here- it just feels so easy talking with ya'll! :-)

OK- got my LL Bean catalog out - it's the Christmas 2003 one- double L sweaters are on pg 20 in this one. Yep- I'm in agreement here! :-) *sigh* I'll never look at this catalog the same way again LOL! "Down with the relaxed fit jeans. (I mean that figuratively, not literally.)"<------ ROFLMAO!! To which, we all say, *sure* you mean that figuratively! LOL! Just kidding!

Jan-Yay! You're technically the first to post today! I've been working on this one for awhile here & there & thought I'd refresh the posts to see if anyone posted since & you did! :-) LOL about being in a place with no men & mirrors! Like I told Sherry above, I've heard it's a great place. Congrats on getting the pop-up camper!

OK- I'm going to wrap up this aforementioned long post. Need to eat still- Kevin got in around 6:45 and then we had to call Niall back (his son- he called while Kevin was up the mast earlier) and we just got off the phone with him. Late dinner tonight- but that also means probably no time for dessert which is good for the diet. :-)
