Reenie
Happy birthday to you

Shad
Wish I had your programming abilities.

Carla
you'll be able to figure out the computer/printer problem.

Happy
I'm having pumpkin soup tonight as well. It smells good. Stick to the WW program. I like the fact that there are several veggies that are 0 points.

The work computer went to the computer doctor yesterday. Last night I was too tired to start up my computer.

Took a pause day today with the food but I did get up and exercise.
I've decided not to go to Paragould until Saturday. I need to work in the yard tomorrow afternoon.

Well, my relationship has been blossoming very well with my new guy.... I am going to see him again this weekend...I think he is going to really question me about the future...we shall see! He is so different from anyone I have known very honest and truly wants only athe best for me.
Any hoo hope you are all well. Take good care!

Today has been enormously frustrating from the IT point of view... The friendly Panda antivirus help desk sent me an email with a lovely patch to fix my problem. I should have know better than to go ahead when I got a Windows warning not to use it, but... Anyway, their 'hot fix' disabled my wireless access, so I couldn't go on-line at all. It was a while before I remembered about system restore, which took me back in time to a happier place. Still printer problems, but at least I can get on-line again. I now have instructions to eliminate all trace of the software and re-install it. Since this is becoming a full-time job, I think they should start paying me a salary, which I would of course share with y'all for listening to me whinge and whine.

On the positive side, I went to a 90 minute spin class tonight. They've installed little computers on the bikes that work with your heart rate monitor, and of course I love gadgets almost as much as chocolate... At one point I was getting really worried - it said I'd only been peddling for 39 minutes, and I was already pretty pooped. Then I realized it was set to kilometers and not time! At that point there was actually only about 15 minutes left, and I just blew through it as if I were fit. A total of 50 km pedaled, with a lot of it going up steep hills... and a lot more of it happily peddling with next to no resistance.

Hasta manana, chiquititas!

Quick and a belated Happy Birthday to Rennie. I hope you can keep the celebration going for the weekend.

My dinner party tonight has grown to nine which isn't a problem as I have tons of food. Most of it is ready to roll but I need to cobble together the appetizers at the last minute. Anybody want to volunteer to stuff cherry tomatoes for me. The female half of the Hyper Pypers will arrive at noon - Margo, her DD Elaine and my grand-dog Bailey. Bailey is Lucy's sister (same litter) and it will be strange to have her here as they are alike in many ways.

OMG - someone's at the door - at 6:52!!! ?????

[MELODY525]

KILOMETERS!!! CARLA YOU CRACK ME UP!! COULD YOU STAND WHEN YOU GOT OFF THE BIKE???? IT'S SO NICE TO KNOW THERE ARE OTHER DIZZYBOTS OUT THERE BESIDES ME OMG I AM LAUGHING MY HEAD OFF.....BUT I HOPE THE PRINTER SITUATION RIGHTS ITSELF AND YOU ACTUALLY GET TO PRINT SOMETHING SOON. I LOVE "SYSTEM RESTORE" AND HAVE HAD TO USE IT 3 TIMES NOW. THEY MADE IT ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME!!!

[Shad]

Morning all,
Sunny Sunday over here - supposed to get up to 32C but if it does I don't feel it. Yesterday was supposed to be 30C but unless you were in the sun, it wasn't very warm at all. Mind you I wasn't all that well yesterday. Went home from work on Friday feeling pretty yucky and had a rotten nights sleep and woke up with a runny nose and headache. Basically, yesterday I did NOTHING except read and a small amount of housework and a bit of shopping. I did manage to get my hair cut - - and my wallet took a bit of a hammering from that. No wonder they reckon Perth is the dearest city for pensioners in Aust. I whinged at $40 for a basic shampoo, cut and dry over East but this cost me $65.00 The grocery shopping yesterday cost me less than that.
Think I might have to take up hairdressing - second thoughts no.... I have no talent in that direction at all.

Mel - those blokes that ride bikes in the winter are morons. No brain no pain I say. They zip through the traffic as if they were late for everything and roar around the freeways and back country roads as if they owned them. I saw one last weekend with just a cotton shirt, shorts, thongs and his helmet. Um thongs - flip flops? Jandals? Nevermind they aren't the wearing about the hips variety!!! They go on your feet. Just imagine the mess he would be in if he ever came off the bike. Sent you an invite via the e-mail. Think you will enjoy that one. They look like firemen to me.
Just had a message over the PA telling me that for the next 20 minutes I will not be able to get out of the basement car park. Shame - cause I am not in the basement car park.

Carla - Welcome to IT - it stands for Irritatingly Trivial. You will probably find, when the problem is solved that something exceedingly trivial was the cause. It's a learning experience IT. We have a similar thing here with the *HOT PATCHES*. Hot patch is the IT equivalent of a hot flush. Always something goes wrong during it. When the PS team (that's Project Systems - its another module in SAP) put in a Hot Patch, it nearly always interferes with the way the PM team are using their module. We get all sorts of stupidity happening because THE TWO TEAMS DON'T TALK TO EACH OTHER. Drives me crazy I'm waiting for those men in white coats.

Holly - good to see you back even if not well. Get out of here and on with the list. It starts looking good when you start to cross out the jobs.

Patty - my month hasn't been the best. Too much stress and angst for that. However I have managed to stop the gaining and am holding steady. By the end of this week, my hours should almost be back to normal and I can start back at the exercise again. Hope the study goes well. When do you finish this course and what is it again?? I think you did tell me, but I am in holding pattern as far as the brain goes at the moment. All I can see in front of me is a huge list of things to do.

Ruth - don't keep us in suspense - who was at the door at 6.52am? What a cheek. Dinner sounds like fun. I can come over and stuff tomatoes. I'm good at it - well not stuffing tomatoes actually - but if you want a good stuff up, I'm just the person for it. Mel and I between us, can stuff anything up!

I think I had better go and do some work. I'm about 1/2 over my alloted time. I'll be back before I go home this afternoon.

[Hollyhock]

I have officially "seasonally" flipped my lid. I have jack o lanterns on the back porch and a Christmas tree in my living room. The tree is pretty. It is the $49.99 pre lit one from Walmart. It is more than "just good enough".

Next thing I will be breaking out my Elvis Christmas CD.
I am feeling mucho better!!

I have at least 1/2 of my list done.

Shad-I charge $17.00 for a shampoo cut and blowdry. Some higher end shops might charge $30.00. I am in shock. Hope you feel well soon.

Dinner at Ruth's will have progressed to after dinner drinks. Hey, I stuffed tomatoes when I was there!!!

Mel- we had a bit of snow the other day. Didn't stick tho.

HUGS to all!!!!!!!

I am posting this for my Mom. Her one eye is pretty bad again so she needs to stay off the computer. She will be back in a few days. Maybe mid week.
