Hi everyone!

Not much is going on here. It was sunny here today, and that makes a big difference. Tricia, thanks for sending a little of your warm air this way. The temp got up into the high 30s. Seemed balmy!

Debbie, I also will not do prednisone, and things would have to be pretty bad for me to do IVSM again. I only had IVSM once and it was 5 days in a row with no oral taper. My ambien did not even help me sleep for more than four or five hours for several weeks.

Did you all know that Jenn and I are planning on getting together the week after next when I am driving back home for the holidays? I am really excited to meet someone from NT. Wish we could all have a holiday get together.

We had a holiday luncheon at school today for all faculty and staff "who want to pay to go." The food was mediocre as usual, but the fun part about it is that the bookstore donates merchandise (that nobody will buy), and then they have a raffle for it. We all get a ticket. So we all act like we are really upset when we do not win university mugs, ugly shirts, cheap watches, pencil sharpeners, etc. The only coveted prizes were that they gave away four vouchers for four dozen of Krispy Kreme donuts each. For some reason, they deliver Krispy Kreme donuts to our coffee shop from Indianapolis on Thursdays only. I have only won once in 20 years, and that was several years ago when I won a beanie baby snowman. It actually was sort of cute.

So that has been my exciting day. I am going out with a friend for Thai, and I finally get my hair cut and colored tomorrow afternoon. I am thinking copper highlights???
