Need to learn how to spell "soon"

back to reality son enough

Very blissfully enjoying my time off. Haven't really thought of work at all. Being a stay at home mom is very different and a good experience. Unfortunately, don't know if M feels the same way. Every morning around 10:30-11:00 she asks, "Shopping?" Evidently I am not enough entertainment for her.
Busy weekend with Easter plans. Glad to have Monday off, too. Have no idea what I'm doing on Tuesday. Would be worried but at this point ignorance is bliss.

First long distance sibling

So, we're embarking on a new family status--a brother that lives far enough away that it requires a plane ride to visit. I'm surprisingly bothered by this. We don't see each other too often (even though I would if I could). But, i guess the possibility to see each other has always been there.
Now, it will require planning to see each other. Jeez. I'm pretty Sappy McSapson tonight.

the end is near

Four more days of work until break. I feel much better than last week even though I still have about the same amount of stressful projects to finish. J's a bit depressed because his break is over and now it's back to reality. Baseball started last week and the first game is tomorrow, assuming it's not too cold, which of course it will be. Don't know why they even attempt games the first half of the season. We are in Wisconsin after all.
I'm enjoying my master's stuff even if it is addition to my load. It's really made me think about how I can change what I do. And I want to change. I've got so many ideas swirling in my head that I wish I had diigo for my brain. I wonder if I'll ever get the time to implement all the things I want to do. I hope i can get some concrete stuff done this summer and whenever I can squeeze it in the rest of this year.
Dad and I were talking this past weekend about the stuff they use on the tractors and I got me thinking how our whole family is deep into the techno world in their own respective careers. I usually think of just C as the geek (I say geek with all love) but really, we all are in our own special ways. Huhn. I guess I never thought of our family cutting edge tech people but we've sorta turned out that way.

And crap it is...

God, I need a vacation. The hamster is spinning in the wheel and is getting mighty pooped. Still over two weeks until the blessed event. Only about 150 due dates until that time too. Friday, April 3 at 4:30 I shall be curled up on the couch and not to be moved until at least the following Monday. Yeah, I wish.

90% of file completed now.

So I'm waiting for an avi file to be converted to a swf file and it's taking FORever so I decided to write a little. Haven't done this in forever, either.
Flippin' busy and can't wait for a break. Got to get class stuff done by, like, Tuesday besides all the rest of the stuff in my daily life.
Going to Buca's tonight and strap on the ol' feed bag. Dan's bday and it was his request. (btw-63% file completed) Should be fun as usual.
Oscars on tonight too. Got it dvr'd because I'm going to miss it. I don't do that very often--miss the oscars (not dvr--of course i dvr often). That and the two hours of programming after it too. Never know how long the thankful actors and actresses will go on about how thankful they are.
My one follower who shall remain nameless needs to hook me up with some tivo once he has that power. Well, as long as it's not too expensive. Can tivo be a satellite provider, too? Kid who babysat for us last night said they had tivo at their house. Is she just not understanding how satellite works or this there something I don't know?
