Tiki, how was your date? Fabulous, I'm sure.
Good luck with the fridge... what a crock!

Virginia, when you went missing for a few days, we all figured you'd cheated, and were afraid to show your face. Good going, girl!!

Hannah, congratulations on the 3 pounds, hon!

Mauvais, have you talked to your doctor about your SAD? A friend of mine is going for light therapy at Elizabeth Bruyere. I think she has to go for six weeks... 5 days a week. She has to stand naked in a booth for a set amount of time. It's not long... they gradually increase the amount of time you're exposed to the light. This was her first week, and the exposure time is 40 seconds for her, so she's in and out very quickly.

More renovations for us this weekend, as well as a social engagement.
It's warmed up a little... DH may force me to go skating on the canal tomorrow...

Hi ladies!

School started! School started! *does a little dance*

I was reading all your posts and realizing how lucky I am to be living in Sun Diego. Yes, our days are shorter, just like yours but I can spend so much time outside because there isn't any inclimate weather. Last weekend, we took the dogs to the park and I said to the Cute Boyfriend, "Gosh, I'm sure glad winter is over with." he looked at me like I was insane and reminded me that it was only January. So if any of you want to move out here (hint hint)!

My classes this semester are soooo much fun. A lot of work but fun. I'm reading Jane Eyre for the first time (i have to do it in a week!) and I have a class on Human Sexuality - I wonder if they've figured out I'm a pro yet I have a Creative Writing class and a class on publishing. But best of all, I made a big gap between classes to spend time at the college gym. It's been very good for me.

I miss you guys.

Goddess,

That sounds like a GREAT schedule. And I am JEALOUS about the weather.

Ellis, I have never heard about standing naked in a lighting tube. I have seen the special lighting that you can buy to have in your house that you are supposed to sit near for an hour a day, but not the tube.

Mauv, I hope your weekend goes as wel this weekend as the belly dancing and bar visit did last weekend. And on the bright side of things, I have already noticed that the days are getting longer, so we are definitely on the UPSWING, right???

Tiki.

ellis - why do you have to be naked

Tiki- I did have a good weekend of doing nothing but sitting reading and drinkinf tea on Saturday. Today we are taking my dad out for his birthday lunch at a seafood restaurant (hope it doesn't turn into the See food binge for me )

Tiki-Sorry about your fridge and freezer! Looks like the temps here won't let you down at least!!! Sounds like the cute guy is working out... glad to hear it!!

Virginia-HI!!!

Mauv-You have to be naked so that the attendants can have a little fun...(OOPS!!)

Ellis-HI!!! Wish you could help me with renovations. Last time DH tried any plumbing work we ended up having to bring a plumber in at time and a half!!! (He IS sexy though, so I'll forgive him...)

Jessica-YAY! good to see you happy and warm!!

We actually went out for dinner and a movie with another couple last night! NO KIDS!! First time we have done that since before the kids were born! (We are usually too broke!!) We had a wonderful time!! Won't be able to do it again for a while though. Things are easier since DH got that full time position, but there are a lot of things that we put off that we REALLY need to fix now. Just bought new tires ($$$) and we need to get a plumber in. The garbage disposal is jammed, and the basement toilet hasn't worked right for 4 years!!! (THAT is just the beginning of the list!!) It was still worth it to get out and have some fun though!!

I don't know why you have to be naked, but it's in a hospital, so I assume they know what they're doing.
Why DO we live in the Great White North, Jessica? I'll discuss it with my psychiatrist next week. (Lois? Any ideas? )
Your classes sound great!! I'm envious!

Tiki, how was the date? Are you still smiling?
I hope your fridge is being fixed right NOW!!

Mauvais, I hope your Dad had a good birthday! Where did you go?
Have you ever been to Flippers?

Den, which movie did you see? DH and I have a date to see The Woodsman.

Must run... I have a couple of court dates to attend... hope everyone is well!

Nope! Never been to Flippers....is it good? We went to Joey's - I think it is my dad's favorite place.....When I asked him where he wanted to go his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree and he said "Joey's" with a huge grin on his face!

I ate my fish but not the fries that went with it.

Oh, that's so sweet!
I've never been to Joey's, but mom takes the kids there all the time, and they LOVE it!
Flippers is good... it's upstairs in the Glebe over Vonn's. (wait... is it still Vonn's?)
Good going with the fries, girl!

Good job on skiping the fries Mauv. HOpe your dad's day was GREAT!!

Dentrassi - I know how you feel about the laundry list of home repairs. Sometimes just looking at mines makes me wanna scream and beg for a landlord.

The fridge is now working - Took the guy 10 minutes to fix it but he still charged me the full hour of service. Nothing worse than getting screwed without KY or an orgasm.

On a good note, the date went well. We had a good time. He kept throwing popcorn down my blouse and when I asked him why, he said it was because he liked me. Go figure.

Tiki.

Just a quick fly by but I had to post - Tiki that was great.

Tiki-HAHAHAHAHAHA!! The popcorn thing sounds like something my DH would have done when we were dating!! Glad to hear the fridge is fixed!!

Squeak-COME AND PLAY!!!! I MISS YOU!!!

Mauvais-Glad you had fun! Congratulations on skipping the fries. That is just about my favorite food, I don't think I could have done it.

Ellis-Million Dollar Baby. It was good. Cried my eyes out. I am SUCH a cry baby!!!

I miss you too Den!!!! I will come back to play soon I promise. Just crazy busy. Logged into work from home as I speak (type).

Tiki - too cute!
