Hello everybody!! I had a busy day yesterday. I've been following BBS' "get moving" thread. I finally got moving yesterday, lol. Here is part what I posted there...

Yesterday I cleaned the bathrooms and swept and hand mopped all the tiled floors. I also took down the heavy plastic shower curtain liners and washed with some bleach in the water, washed the bathroom rugs too. It was DH's birthday so I cleaned the kitchen twice as well, once in the morning and then after the tasty dinner that our son cooked.

The housework was wayyyyy overdue. Today and tomorrow I want to get the dusting, polishing and vacuuming done as well. I also need to get groceries because we're low on everything.

I also have to file form 1040x for my son today. I hate that form, lol. I work with state of Illinois retail and telecom taxes and employment but the 1040 for the IRS is the pits. I think because of the sneaky changes they make every year, lol.

It rained about 3-4 inches here the last two days, with more to come today and tomorrow so I need to get the indoor stuff done. I can work in the garden this weekend, woo hoo!!! It's supposed to be 58 degrees and sunny on Saturday!

Now I better get going on all my stuff, lol. It's so easy to sit here and get comfy.

Morning all! I have to run over to the Chevy dealer to get a part put on (arm rest) and then home to clean. MIL is coming over tomorrow. I think I need to get groceries tomorrow.

Have a good day everyone!

Weave, glad the furbaby is ok.

Good Morning! Just finished my class. I think it went fairly well. I do have one problem child that keeps making irrelevant comments or asking questions that are off topic. My patience is definitley going to be tried.

He also is vision impaired so I think that has probably resulted in a certain social awkwardness on his part. I have blow everything up to 24 font for him and his textbook is on a cd. It has to be tough for him. He has always had this vision problem -- uses a cane when he is walking.

Well, looks like I am stuck. I went out to start the van and it's dead and when I say dead I mean no turn over at all. Ugh, hope it's just the battery. We did have issues with the battery last winter. Gosh, when it rains it pours eh? lol I'm waiting on AAA to come and jump start it or tow it.

sorry about the 'dead' battery, Sandy ... that happened to me last summer ... it rained and rained ... and when I wanted to GO someplace - the car didn't ... and ended up with a new battery!!

**UPDATE**
got the crockpot going: venison polish sausage and sauerkraut ... mmm, good!

Wiz: 1040X has been the TOP form this year .. I've already done 5 amendments for friends this year - more than any year (and I've been doing taxes for over 30 years!) .. guess the government is milking what's left of the economy for every penny they can find!

Tricia - Your daughter's roommate sounds kind of off balance. I think I would have told her to go to a hot place with her rules. I'm with whoever suggested she go to the housing dept and try to get a new room. She can't seriously be expected to live like that (blinds closed, no one allowed in, etc.). It is her room, too! It would be a cold day in that hot place when I would call someone's computer Felix unless it was a joke! What a nut job!

OK, I just had to say that because it bugged me - it was just so unfair to your daughter.

here are two of the 10 quilts going into the art submission:

TGIF Getting ready for class. This was only a four day week, but I am so ready for the weekend. I starting to think seriously about retirement. I am eligible to retire in May
2012. I will be 55. The pension would not be great, but ... They are probably going to be increasing our teaching load starting next Fall (one additional course each semester), and I do not not know how I will hande it.

Hope you all have a good weekend!

(((Becky))) Good luck today at the dr. Let us know how it goes.

Barb - TGIF! Is right. Hope you get to relax some this weekend and enjoy.

TKTC - Oh I got it; it's a new car. We have to do that here too.

DebbieD - Sometimes the silent bond between siblings is strong regardless of any situation. Since DDs were wee little ones I stressed the importance of their relationship. During their teen years they kind of drifted a bit from each other - different friends, likes, dislikes, etc. Now they are becoming really close and I think it is awesome.

Oh carp! I just saw the weather on TV it is 7:15 in the morning, 80 degrees out and is supposed to be in the 100s. While this is normal, my a/c went out sometime yesterday. Around 12:00 yesterday my apt seemed warm but not too bad. I went out for a while and once I stepped back in my apt. I knew it was the a/c. There was nothing that I could do. I started getting my things together to go to DBF's and ended up with blurred vision, muscle weakness, tremors acting up, and urinary incontinence. UGH! I had to have DD19 get a ride to my house so that she could take me to DBFs. Once the a/c got going in the car and I started to cool off more, I started to feel somewhat better.

Anyhow, hope you all have a great day!
