Tricia, I would suggest that your daughter talk to her RA before going to the housing department. At most schools, they are going to tell her that she should first talk to her RA -- unles the roommate is viewed as dangerous.

Morning! We're up having coffee. MIL is coming today so I think I need to clean the basement, yeah, that's what I need to do.

Other than that, nothing else planned except I need to take my neighbor to the doctor at 4pm (he had knee surgery and needs a ride). Bless his heart he is such a sweetie, we call him pops.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning everybody.

I have a job interview next Tuesday morning at Nicor, wish me luck!! I take a typing test on Monday at 11:00 at the local hiring agency. The job is for customer care and is a entry level job. As soon as I got off the phone my right hand started feeling numb. I tested myself and I can type around 38 - 40wpm without mistakes.

This would be a good company to work for I suppose and I can run the office here part time because we aren't busy.

I'm thinking there will be hundreds interviewing but hope I can snag a job, even if I work second shift and weekends. It's a company you could move up in too, I'm guessing.

fingers crossed for you Wiz...good luck

Kel........feel better soon .

No I don't keep her in the basement. That's my excuse to disappear! Jim's on his own. LOL

You are going to disappear in THE MAN CAVE.

She is here and I am in the living room eating my lunch. She's in the bedroom talking to Jim. I haven't said anything at all, being a good person as best I can. I am headed to clean the man cave as soon as I am done. She just came in here to get a chair and said something to me about it and I just kept typing as if I didn't hear her. Honestly I am steaming inside but being good. She thinks she can come in here and act nice and all is forgotten? I don't think so.

My poor dog is getting yelled at because she's excited that MIL brought her dog. I just called Bergie in here with me and said she shouldn't be getting yelled at because she is excited that another dog came in the house.

Sandy, you keep your MIL in your basement?? Hmmmm.....good idea. I should have done that!! Just kidding (sort of).

I have a full blown cold or terrible allergies....one or the other. My head is so stuffed up I have to breathe through my mouth. It's pouring rain here. I mean POURING. There are flash flood warnings out all over the place. One area of my back yard looks like a lake! And they can't install my storm door in the rain so it's been rescheduled to Monday. That's OK, though. I really didn't feel like having it done today anyway. They'll probably have to keep the back door open part of the time to install it. Monday is supposed to be nice and sunny with highs in the 70's! Finally.

I had to purchase a new washer and dryer. Ordered it from Sears and the boys will go tomorrow with the truck and pick it up. Saves me $65 in delivery charges. They can hook it up, too....it's an electric dryer so it's not hard. If I had Sears do the delivery and hook up on both units it would be nearly $200! How can they get away with that??

I think I'm going to go take a nap. My head is pounding. Maybe I'll take some Benadryl. If nothing else it'll put me to sleep!

Ya'll have a good Friday.

hey, Kelly - sorry to hear that you are stuffed up .. hope you can breathe normally soon ...

cleaning the basement, Sandy?? I thought that you have it all remodeled to hang out down there?? .. so, it's not a basement, it's really the 'fun-room', right??

hope all goes well with the testing on Monday, Wiz ... my hand goes numb when on the phone - think it's because I'm grasping TOO hard and not relaxing enough ... stay calm the best you can!! will hope for the best with the interview!!

***UPDATE***
today, I submitted 10 quilts to the Wisconsin Art direct purchase program .. and when one sells, I post a new one .. but, I will continue to keep the quilts 'turning' by only keeping them 'open for sale' for 30 or so days - then rotate to a new quilt .. and donate the one that didn't sell ... everyone wins then!!

the 2nd program that I'm applying for is a Fellowship ($8g) ... only 7 are chosen .... and disbursement won't occur until Feb 2010 .. but the winners will know in October (I think) ...

well, I'm going to move - move back to Green Bay, my hometown - as tho the prodigal child returns ... I found 2 apartments (w/garages) that are in the area I would like to go (my own backyard! neighborhood) ... planning on relocating by November ... I can always go 'up north' anytime I want .. .and have plenty of friends to hang out with and stay overnight if need be ...

hope you all have a great day and wonderful weekend .. they keep calling for rain here, but haven't seen a drop yet!! so far, it's nice and cool - like I like it ...
