Short update for today

I am finally over the flu. Yay! Everything is pretty much back to normal. The meeting today went well. I'm so glad there is an online conference room available through Yahoo Messenger. Just another example of how helpful technology can be for the deaf! They actually wanted me to call it in but I did not feel comfortable participating in the meeting without my co-author. She surprised me with how assertive and firm she could be. I wish I could be that way....but I guess not. Well, that's part of the reason why I wanted her there, too. I am just not assertive like that.

Anyway, I've gotten plenty of writing done since getting better. And a lot of housework, too. It's like I have a new zest for life and just DOING things!

We haven't found Jen's mitt yet. This is craziness. I swear, part of the reason why I have been cleaning like a madwoman is so I could find that mitt. It's like it disappeared! Her dad will probably have to buy her a new one.

Didn't have too much else going on today besides the meeting. Hubby was in Portland with Jennifer for most of today. The baby took a 3-hour nap. (Wow!) I watched the movie The Godfather Part 3 for the very first time (and cried at the end) and hung out on Facebook. I'm really starting to like Facebook. And at first, I didn't add people I didn't know. But now, anything goes! I'm still careful, though. I know you have to be wary of crazy people on those social networking sites. You never know who could be on there.

Got a busy weekend planned and looking forward to getting more writing done. And reading, too.

This blog post is short and just rambling because I want to get OFF of the computer and...go do stuff. Feeling restless. Fridays can do that to ya.


Enjoy the weekend!

OHHHHHHH!!!! You have Facebook???? I'm SO going to search for you now LOL

Glad you're feeling better and I completely feel your pain about the mitt... so many times I think my house has teeth and eats my stuff... I lost a computer CD for about two YEARS... it had fallen behind a tiny crack behind a dresser or bed or something!

Omigosh, Jana! I didn't know you were on Facebook! Well, if you don't find me, I'll find YOU! LOL :) It's cool we both use MySpace but Facebook is more fun because it's more interactive and I kinda get addicted to reading everybody's updates.

I know what you mean about houses with teeth. It's just SO WEIRD. My daughter also lost a locket and the search has been ongoing for that, as well. But, wow, two years is a long time for something to be missing! Gah!

where is that MITT?? Now its driving ME crazy, LOL

Have you checked...the garage, the backyard, the toyboxes, under the bed, in the car in the trunk, behind the couch and in the freezer? Have you guys backtracked to the last day Jen used it?

I think its in the car or outside. You might check with the coach and see if anyone found it on the field etc. But check the car and under things in the yard.

Nancy, the last I saw of it, I gave it to Jennifer after I cleared all of her baseball gear out of the car. Since then, we can't find it, even though we found everything else. Gah! Just to be sure, though, I did check the car again and the trunk. I've looked all over outside. And, LOL. You had me going "yep, yep, yep" and when I read "freezer" I had to backtrack and go, "Uh, no." I don't think it's in the freezer. LOL Where that mitt has gone to is a very big mystery indeed.
