<p>Happy Happy Day Moe, enjoy every minute of it!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>SO back from vaca. It was fabulous but tiring. Little man never sleeps well up there which means I don't sleep well. Had a great time at the lake and sight seeing. Had family up there with us all week but the last day which added to the craziness. Next time I think we will schedule more downtime. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tomorrow is going to be an exciting day for the Beakers...we get to find out if we are having a boy or a girl!! I can't wait! Everyone really wants it to be a girl and I am so nervous that people will seem disappointed if it is another boy. But I see advantages to having either and feel blessed no matter what so I will just be happy to see this little one again!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ok folks, I will send out some blanket hugs and kisses to you all since I am so out of the loop. </p>

<p>Howdy, folks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy Brrf-day <strong>Maureen.</strong> It's #29, yes?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The insomnia fairy played a mean trick last night. Although I woke up 3 times between 9:30 and 3:30am, she let me have roughly two hours of sleep between each brief waking. Yah! Then from 3:30am to 6:15am, she must have been making up for lost time. Instead of sleeping for two hours at a time, I might have gotten twenty minutes at a time. Ugh. Tonight just might be an Ambien night, after all. Assuming I don't accidentally nap at my desk today. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz</p>

<p>Have a wonderful birthday, <strong>Maureen!</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Lori,</strong> are you going to be sharing the news with us here? I love me some baby news! I'm not disappointed that we had 2 girls. DH isn't, either, but I know deep down he wanted a boy too. He keeps saying he wants one, even though we've agreed that we won't be getting pregnant again. In fact, he won't call the doc about getting the "procedure" done because he's holding onto hope of that boy. *sigh*</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have to go buy the tickets for the princess tea party for Lena and I. She's so excited about going and dressing up. Cute! Hmm...what shall I wear...</p>

<p>Happy Birthday, Ms. <strong>Maureen</strong>. Can't wait to catch up when I get back to Boston.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Vacation is going a little better than I had anticipated. This really isn't my favorite way to spend time off (not much of a beach person, not at all a heat and humidity person), but I've really been trying to have a better attitude. There's a substantial chance that my MIL won't be around next year (although no one is really giving out those odds...), so I'm trying to concentrate on making it a good time for her and not being so darn self-involved.</p>

<p><strong>Happy Birthday Maureen!!!</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't know how you people with insomnia do it. Was up every couple few hours last night tending to the kiln. Wiped out today. But the kiln is done, and my stuff - if the glaze issues are fixed - will be ready to take to the gallery.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Loads to do today. </p>

<p>Morning, everyone!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Happy birthday, <strong>Moe</strong>!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tonight is knit night, and I'm excited to keep making progress on my TMNT picture. I may have to put it down for a little while since I have baby presents to start, so I'm trying to get as much done as I can. I also found out last night that my neighbor is going to be at my coffee shop this morning to interview possible nannies, so I'll get a break from writing to visit with her when she's done.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a good one!</p>

<p>I have spent my morning trying to help students out of some jams. One was created by another advisor, someone who has worked at a regional campus for a long time and should damn well know better. I'm kinda pissed about that one, and when the petition makes it to the dean, she will be as well. It will probably work out OK for the student though. Next up, I get to be backup for the next few hours for someone who is out sick, so might just get a few minutes later for lunch. Good thing I packed today, I guess.</p>

No. She had another interview Thursday last week, and wanted to get the other 2 scheduled for this week. I don't expect to hear anything until next week.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And I don't know how much the w<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>i</strong></span>ll/w<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>e</strong></span>ll incident (so much for my great attention to detail!) will affect their interest. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I went through the new job description with my friend Mary Ann (another designer I've worked with at 2 companies for 11 years), and I definitely have @19 of the 24 things on her list. The other 5 I have some experience with, but couldn't claim them as strengths. So while it IS a big scary job, I at least feel better about me being able to do it.</p>
