Guilty as charged.. I am a WAW.

[Bridgestone]

Hi Lodo
I am exhausted. about 2 hours of sleep last night after finally getting H off the phone & finishing my presentation for the online course.

I'm sure you'll be amazing at your conference. EVeryone there, if they are like mine, have been where you are. I love going to professional conferences.. they really charge me up & help keep me passionate about my profession.

Other things I read besides Bach, regularly? Nothing...
One thing I am looking forward to coming off this 7 years of grad work & diss research, reading for enjoyment.

I used to be a historical fiction reader... can't even remember the name of the author that did the Centennial series. I have enjoyed Jean Auel's clan of the cave bear series (much better than the movie) as the level of detail she puts into her novels is outstanding and the research she does to make sure of archeological detail is phenomenal.

The Harry Potter series, (except for the last one- which I am saving that for the beach & umbrella drinks when I am finally done!)

I guess that is about it... I will be interested to see if my reading tastes have changed at all in the past 7 years

I have been on my grad school campus 3 of the past 4 days for 10-12 hour days (remember it is 2 hours away, as well, so time home has been limited). I need to be back there again tomorrow and then am off with S18 to his college campus multi-states away Thursday/Friday/Saturday for his freshman registration/orientation.

So no planting of plants.. hopefully by the time I'm back on saturday afternoon I have rested enough to consider it & it has dried out enough.

Some other single women friends & I have purchased shares in an local organic garden coop. They plant, weed, harvest we get 1/40th of the crop each week, all season long. Of course, we pay them a flat subscription fee no matter how much or little crop they get.. so far it is much more 'little & late' than 'much & early' :-\

Spend it on the landscaping! A wonderfully landscpaed yard is to a house as a beautiful coat is to a person. It doesn't really change the clothes (house) underneath but it sure can make a great first impression!

I have spent time doing 'little' things at 'my' house (I rent, but I had the house bought for me by a friend, with the understanding I would buy it when the D was final) which gives me some modicum of control over something in my environment.

And right now that feels like very little! So a new light fixture & faucets in the bath or hostas, bleeding hearts & astibles in a new shade garden, while minimal for cost & WOW affect.. have really made a difference for my PMA.


I am falling asleep over the computer and have to be in up in 4.5 hours to start tomorrow and the trip all over again. Need to go to bed.

good night & hugs to you for your rough day yesterday.
