And ya know what? I have yet to post any pix.

You'd think, after how much Sweet Stepdaughter's pregnancy has been on this blog, that I would have posted some by now.

crap. don't know how to post pix. oh well, as soon as I figure out how, I will.

I need a mental health day.

did the update. yay. now must take shower, had steaks left over from one of the AngelFood packs we got in the wintertime, grilled them tonight, & now smell like smoke..

Yay. Speech class.

Man, my teacher is probably the vaguest one I have ever had. The syllabus for our 20-minute team presentation with powerpoint and at least one visual aid has these suggestions for topics:
- Conflict resolution
- Leadership
- Group dynamics
- effective meeting skills
- intercultural communication skills
- critical thinking skills

WTF ?!?!? How much less specific can you get ?
Ended up doing something on advertising and how it affects modern society. Yo quiero Taco Bell. Where's the Beef? Help I've fallen and I can't get up.. (which by the way is now copyrighted by LifeAlert, the company that put out that cheesy commercial back in 19-friggin 88 !!! )

and.. Oh yeah, I have a 500-750 word paper due thursday on a public presentation of my choice. Feh. like i have time. Used Sunday morning's church sermon, now have to flesh the blasted thing out. Yipee.

Had fun going back and looking at some of my old entries; specially the customer requirements from Sept 05. I can add a WHOLE bunch more to that.. might put it on the sidebar, if I can remember how to do it.

For Lauren..

**Before I was a Mom **

Before I was a Mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect! my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, The joy, The love, The heartache, The wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.
And before I was a Grandma, I didn't know that all those "Mom" feelings more than quadtripled when you see that little bundle being held by "your baby"...
Send this to someone who you think is a special Mom or Grandma. I just did.

That would be Miss Parker to you...

The first woman to ever dunk at a tournament game. Local radio personality says her French manicure just cleared the rim & is giving her 1 1/2 dunks. Loser. He' s just pissed cause he can't do it..

I be a tortoiseshell.

What color of cat are you?brought to you by Quizilla


You are a tortoiseshell or calico cat. Man, are you nuts or what? You should try taking some tranquilizers. Calm down, you hyper thing! You've got a great personality though. You're so lively and you are known for getting into mischief.

no clue where they got this from the answers I gave, no one who knows me would describe me as hyper in any way.... except maybe when I have an assignment due and it's Wednesday night..
heh.

Update.

Got to meet the snorflebabies, otherwise known as Biscuit & Dobby. The snorfling in the title of this blog comes from the snoring that Dobby does. Biscuit and Dobby are French Bulldogs, that look like smaller versions of regular bulldogs and come in either black, tan, or black/white mix. I got to go to their house with my best friend who was housesitting for their mom & dad who were out of town.

Fabulous house in the Belmont section of Nashville; 1920's colonial with big ol' rocking chair front porch, sweet kitchen (did I mention owner is head chef for large well-known restaurant?), lovely well-decorated home. Let's just put it this way.. I could get used to sitting on an overstuffed couch eating chocolate ice cream with a snoring french bulldog in my lap and a gorgeous black & white kitty named Kostka rubbing round my face.

Got to watch Bill Cosby:Himself all the way through for the first time in several years; laughed my ass off !!
"She stood up in the stirrups... grabbed my bottom lip... and said I WANT MORPHINE!!"
"But Dad, my name is Jesus Christ...."
"Worst beating I ever got in my life was when my mom said, I'm just sick.. I said And Tired..."

I love evenings like that. I don't get many.

Every two weeks. Whatever.

Well, pulled an A- in Ms Hardin's english class, and am currently running a 3.89 average. (snicker.) However, next class is taught by Mr Wilds and is Oral Communications, COMM101. Yum. Yes, it's the same Mr. Wilds who taught the movie watching class. Let's hope he gives a shit about this one.

I have never given a public speaking event in my life. I have no experience with it. How can I answer questions like, "What type of public speaking, if any, makes you uncomfortable?" I HAVE NO CLUE !!! I'VE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE!!!!! AAAARRRGGHHH !!

Jeez.

King of the Hill. Snort.

Darling Hubby is watching King of the Hill. It's just crazy.
