Good morning everyone! Sorry I haven't been on much. In fact, I haven't even lurked.:o It's just been so busy around here lately - company in town, work, car issues, etc. Things are almost back to normal. Phew! Just in time for school to start. LOL

I'm taking a sculptural design class and some other class (haven't quite decided but need to by today). I signed up for a online biology class but am not sure this slow brain can handle it as well as the cost of books/home lab kit (almost $300) which would be the rest of my grant and no left overs for materials for sculptural design. I may take an interior design class that entails sketching, drafting, etc. as I have most the materials (I think) and may be easier on my brain. LOL

I hope you all have a great day!:hug::grouphug:

Good Morning! Lovely, sunny day today but that's all about to change. Lots of rain heading our way. But the temps will remain in the 40's and 50's so no freezing stuff.

Who watched Idol last night? I got through most of it but fell asleep before the end. I do remember the Tiny Tim man........wow. I thought I might have nightmares after that audition!! I will admit that when he tiptoed across the stage it kinda looked like me trying to run. :o

I need more coffee and then a warm shower. I feel guilty for even saying that after watching the news and seeing the poor people of Haiti waiting for just a bottle of water. Bless their hearts.....they've been through enough. This whole event has had such as effect on me. I just have no reason to complain about anything.

:grouphug: to everyone!

Trish, I wish you luck in picking the class that works for you!

Okay, it took forever - but my experiment is done. I think I want to do more like this, which means saving money for a greater variety in brush sizes. But this was done with what is usually reserved for stenciling. It is called "Lonely Flower".

I love your painting, Fin! It would be so pretty in a white frame in my guest room!

Love the picture Jenn!

Trish, I think that on line biology could be tough. but then, I have never really enjoyed biology classes. You need an at home lab kit? Does that mean you have to do dissections at home?:eek:

Kelly, I know what you mean about Haiti. When I see the massive suffering there, I feel like a complete baby for complaining about my problems. And now they just got hit with another big aftershock. I can only watch the news for so long, and then it becomes too much.

Pam, what happened in Massachusetts? The election result certainly will make it even more interesting to teach my Congress class this semester.

Well, I was a wimp this morning and called in sick. The streets are not bad, but my driveway and sidewalks are a slushy mess. A friend called me and said she did not have any trouble driving to school, but the parking lots were bad. I did back my car up to my mailbox to mail some bills, and the mailbox was frozen shut. So I emailed my students and went back to bed.:rolleyes: The idea of moving to Austin when I retire is sounding better and better. I can stay in the ac in the summer when it is too hot, and at least I would not have to worry about ice and snow. It was 75 there yesterday and sunny! Something to think about today. :confused: Alas, I have at least two more winters to get through after this one.

Hope everyone is warm and has a good day.

I forgot to tell you all my good news......NOT! I got my gas bill yesterday for the coldest month I've had in this house. $213.50!! :eek: That's the biggest gas bill I've ever had. I'm lovin' this week 'cos my heat only comes on maybe once during the middle of the night.

Yes! It would also make a beautiful greeting/note card card!!

The weather is nasty here today... so far just lots of rain. But these weather changes mess with my head and body so much.... I need a nap. But it will have to wait because I am expecting the termite inspector any time now. The yearly inspection is due. Hopefully all will be clear.

Morning all! My you have been busy since I left yesterday!

Nothing big planned today, just some laundry to do.
