Well, Ghosts, Ghouls and Spooks of all natures, I'm outta here. Gotta go spread the sugar to the kiddies in my neighborhood. Happy Halloween!

Finally, I took the Death Test to find out when I'm gonna die. According to The Spark, I will die on February 6, 2032
at the age of 61 years old. On that date I will most likely die from: Cancer (27%), Homicide (15%), Alien Abduction (8%), Alcoholism (7%), Suicide (5%), Heart Attack (5%), or Drowning (5%). I am not being morbid...merely wondering. Don' t we all? :o)

I just found out that my Pirate Name is Captain Grace Bonney and
my CYBORG name is
F.O.S.S.I.E.: Functional Organism Skilled in Scientific Infiltration and Exploration. :o)

Some of these blogs are just too funny!

Heh, heh. I just LOVE my cousin Stu ! He went and took the What Kind of Shoe are You? test. So, I am now inspired to do the same.

I am a: Warm Fuzzy Slipper
Start squeezing the fresh OJ and fetch the paper from the porch. You're as cozy as a Warm Fuzzy Slipper. That's right. Given the choice, you'd take hanging at home with a friend over hitting a rave party any night. But that doesn't mean you're complacent. It's just that you might have gotten the crazy partier out of your system and are more content to be home, shopping from catalogs and being comfortable with who you are. Homespun gatherings are more your style—unless, of course, the annual art fair lures you out to mingle with friends in the neighborhood.

Okay, have a few minutes to write. Today is better. Got to class this morning - which I am dreading more and more, by the way - and Kim was dressed up like a witch. She looked really cute! Anyway, we turn in our projects, do a BRIEF critique, and then she says, "It's trick or treat time." She starts to hand out our next assignment. Heather looks at me and says, "Oh, I was hoping for candy!" Then Kim explains what we need to bring for Monday, then says, "Now, your treat is this: class is dismissed for today." So, as we were all happy about this, Heather, Mandy and I decide to go goof off. We went to Wal-Mart and bought Halloween candy for the office and for tonight, and goodies for the Kinko's gang. Then we went to Heather's house for Cokes, where we met her dad and looked at her artwork. Mandy and I have both about decided to change majors because Heather is so good! :o) Then we dropped goodies off at Kinko's (but I didn't get to talk to my Misty cuz she was busy with customers *pout*) Then we came back to campus, talked to Josh for a few minutes, then I headed over here to the office.
Angela was very happy that I brought goodies. She got a plastic skeleton and a bat out of the pumpkin, as well as candy. Vince came by and got his goodies too. We've been giving stuff to the professors as they come in, and Jennifer got some candy too. She picked out the huge icky spider (to go with her huge icky cockroach from her cupcake yesterday.)
Today is better. I have two new favorite songs: "Get This Party Started" by Pink and "Family Affair" by Mary J. Blige. I think I will listen to each of them again.
Jocelyn really helped me out last night. I had all but decided to just go home and be mad at the world. I was in the middle of canceling plans with her - literally - when I decided no, I want to go do this for ME. So we met at the track. I actually ran and power walked two laps before Jo got there. Then we just kind of strolled a third lap, because chunka chick (that would be ME) tired herself out on the first two laps, and was having leg cramps... some Fossies never learn...Anyway, we just sat and talked for a while. It was good. Cold outside, but good nonetheless.

Today, she is better, yes. :o) HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Okay, that's all for today. I am taking my pessimistic self over to the computer lab to finish my assignment for tomorrow. Then I am going to kinko's to print it out, then taking it home to mount it. Oh, but not before walking with Jocelyn at 6:30... ah, the busy life. Til later...Peace.

Surprise of all surprises...I am a PESSIMIST!

Heh, heh, heh.... Who is Your Inner Rock Star?
Mine is: Britney Spears

Feel it, sweetheart; the rock star in you is all Britney—the envy of cheerleaders everywhere. One part girl next door, one part naughty sex kitten, you're definitely not as innocent as you look. And that is why nobody can get enough of you. You are the ultimate American girl with some serious staying power. Unlike other success stories, you and Britney are more than just a pretty face: you've got talent, confidence, and the brains to back it up. With a talent list like yours it's no wonder you're at the top of the popularity charts and young men's hearts. We love you. Shout out your inner Britney!

Okay, next test results: What is Your Theme Song?
Mine is: What A Girl Wants

Who says you're too old for slumber parties? On top of that sugar, spice and everything nice, you are the epitome of feminine, inner strength, so of course you know "What a Girl Wants." When you're with your friends on a ski vacation or a long weekend at the lake, you're on top of everything, including how to be your genuine self. That's why Christina's sweet strains beat cadence to your graceful routine. This song should be cued up in your car so you can crank it to share with everyone in a two-block radius, or blast it as you and your friends cruise down the highway. Trust your instincts, girl. Some people struggle with tough choices in life, but with your inner resolve, you don't have to. You know how to make your way in the world and nothing's going to stop you because a theme song like "What a Girl Wants" reminds you that above all, you're right to believe in yourself.

Enough! I've had it.. I am now going to play on emode and take some tests about me. I just went and found out that I am Rachel from "Friends" because I took the Which "Friend" Are You? quiz.

Hi World. Busy day today....

Nothing has gone right today. I have gotten NO web stuff done, because my office had a revolving door, and the phone won't stop ringing... I am going to just go make some copies and then go get Misty at 5.

GRRRR ARRRGGGGHH!

I am now going to work on the shire's web page. Maybe that will make me feel better.

Well, today is turning out to be a kinda blah day. Or maybe bleh. Just got back from Graphic Design I and was informed by my instructor that I should have more confidence in my ideas and "stop relying on (her) for every little thing" which, to me, is funny. I don't feel that I ask her very much at all except to make sure I am understanding what my assignments are. But, if that's her advice, then I shall take it. But if my grades start slipping, I will try to schedule a conference with her. *sigh* All I want to do is become a graphic designer, but right now I feel like I have no shot at it at all.

At the end of my hectic day, I think I can say all is caught up. I got my Am Hist homework done, check. Meeting agenda, check. Double check library reservation, check. Farspeaker questionnaire, check. Web authorization, check. Actually worked on my computer cleanup, check. Plus worked in my office all day. Oh, yeah, check on that too! Now I get to post Jocelyn's avatar here on my page.
Now, I'm outta here. Looking forward to a great weekend. Peace! :o)

Well, today is sort of hectic. I have almost weeded through all my e-mail, and now I have to work on the agenda for the business meeting Sunday. I also have to come up with Farspeaker info lists and Web Release forms. And I have to call the Library right now to reserve the room. I tried before to get through and I could never get a real person. Maybe today!

That'll teach ME not to check in to my web class for a day... last time I checked there was NOTHING due. Now I have to READ and discuss, and it is DUE tomorrow!!! AYEEEE!!!

I made some more! Scott, Meredith and Regan (and Elvis, the cat), Stu, and Ed. :o)

Hmmm, so I have just been whapped up side the head with a headache. Ouch. Maybe it will go away soon.

I am wondering how long we are going to have internet connectivity today and tomorrow. Our ITC is moving and things may be a little off until they get into their new location.
Well, I did a little something for me. I decided to get rid of the banner ad at the top of my blog. I like the way it looks now much better. (More room to play!)

Good MORNING!

Aren't these CUTE?!

What a DAY! Work had lots to offer, including MANY, MANY phone calls! Then, the phone starts wigging out on me at 3:50... making this odd noise...ew..

Anyway, am making a couple of graphics... found a new toy as well. :o)

I have to get a new Social Security Card! AYEEE!! Mine was in my purse when it was stolen, and I have to get a new one to be hooked up on Mike's insurance plan!

Freebie time! The Healing Garden is giving away some of their new stuff. I love, LOVE Healing Garden stuff. Green Tea Therapy ROCKS! Anyway, just try the link, click on "Free Sample", fill out the form, and VOILA! you should have some stuff sometime soon. :o)

OOh, ooh, ooh! Happy Fossie! Leif just called. He's in a better mood. No, he did not apologize. No, we did not have a serious discussion. We just chatted. He checked in with me, like he always does, so I guess he's not mad at me anymore. Good. I prefer it when my friends are happy with me. :o)

Alrightie... let's try this again.... Yesterday I finished my Emerald Bunny Logo and have it posted at the top of this page. Still not sure if I like the Title graphic or not, so I may rework it, if I find time.

Oh, yesterday I finished my
Okay, "well" is a relative thing, I suppose. Leif didn't speak one word to Misty or me all night. He looked at me like I should die when I offered him a plate of food. Then he bit my head off when I gave him what Ed brought him from New Orleans. I don't know what his deal is, but I hope he gets over this real soon. Okay, I do know what his deal is, but IT IS NOT MY FAULT!!!!

So, all in all, yesterday was good. I just hate it when one of my friends takes out all his frustrations on me. (or in this case Misty and me.) *sigh*

Okay, I'm off to make something for Mikey's birthday and then I'll be leaving at 5. Peace!

Well, the Shire's Tournament went well yesterday. Dave won. I am so proud of him. Mikey came in second, and of course I am proud of him. All of the guys fought hard and well. Wish I could have heralded the tourney, but my voice just wouldn't let me.

Good MORNING!!! Guess who feels almost human today? Ohh, ooh, I know, I know. ME! Okay, so I am not QUITE this chipper in real life. But I can be happy in Blogland! Today is Mikey's Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART!! He turns 30 today. Finally, he caught up with me. :o)

Know what... Dee needs a BLOG of her own! I think I will write her and tell her about this. I can help with the html part, and then she can just TAKE OFF on her own! Of course, knowing Dee, she'll get on this thing and figure it out and it will be all wonderfully cool. :o) I love that girl!

And Miss Misty needs one too. She says she'd never have time to work on one, but I bet she would get all into it. And, with ED's computer sitting RIGHT there... a DSL line just BEGGING to be used.... Yes, these girls need BLOGS. Maybe they'll like the idea....

I guess it is now time to go. Well, I have been so involved in catching up on things, that I didn't realize what time it is. I'm outta here. Peace.

TGIF! I am still kinda sickly, but hopefully I will keep improving. Misty came by and saw me last night (and brought Cherry Coke from SONIC!) She just completely rocks. I love my buddy! THANK YOU MISTY FOR THE COKE AND EVERYTHING IN GENERAL! Jocelyn dropped by to see me this morning, but I was right in the middle of working, so I couldn't see her very long. Maybe we can hook up on Tuesday. Monday is Mikey's birthday, so his celebration consists of me making lasagna, and him gaming with his buddies. He's getting presents, but he doesn't know that yet. :o) This weekend is going to have a central theme: REST AND RECOUPERATION!

Okay, so my Boss can start breathing again, I am going home. Don't want anyone to catch this. No, I have no fever, but just in case, he wants me to go home. So I am going. Maybe tomorrow....

I have the flu. Been out since Monday afternoon. Came in briefly Tuesday. Going home around 1:30 today. Back tomorrow, hopefully for the whole day. Icky sick.

GRRRRR!!! I have to take a break. This exam is killing me. GRRRRRRRRRR

Hello World! Tonight's topic? Anthrax. No, not the band, the disease. Or it is the topic until a bright shiny comes along. Then we'll change the topic. Poof. Topic changed. That's my friends. Not like me. I'm always on track. Same topic always. Yep.. Oh look.. a moth.......

Anyway, I WANT TWIX ICECREAM. Thank you, Misty. KEWL. Misty's gonna serve it! :o)

I love my brother. He's so cute. Not that I'll ever tell him that or anything.

So, tonight is us hanging at Misty and Ed's (hence the internet connection.) Ed and Aaron are playing this Wrasslin video game. Mikey and Jeff are on the couch, absorbed in the action on the screen. MIsty is getting ice cream and here I sit, blogging away. Josh and "Nanna" have gone to bed. They are such cute kids.

I am very boring this evening. We tried to work on Ed's web page, but geocities is acting all whack. Maybe tomorrow we can get it to work. Or maybe I'll go back to Moyra's and see if she has any tips. Actually, I think I may jet her an e and see if she can enlighten me on this web page set.

I just turned around and looked at the two bumps on the couch. I truly love those guys with all my heart. They are just the best.

Ice cream is here. Gotta jet. Train of thought ended. :o)

Well, I think I'll call it a day. Have to be back here tomorrow to work on that American History Mid Term. Peace.

Hmm...back from lunch for a while. Got something I needed for my Graphic Design class while I was out! Now trying to get my graphic for my Blog to come up on the page... not working... hmmmm.

Woo Hoo! Daniel just called - meeting him and Val at 11:30. Andrew can't go cuz he's sick. (My poor friend!) I miss Andrew - wish we could hang out more. He is such a joy.

Okay, so I haven't exactly used my spare time to work on my mid-term. I figure I can do that tomorrow when I am alone. :o) Today I have joined a webring (YIPPIE) and have changed a couple of things on my Blog. Checked out Jocelyn's Blog too. She's so sweet! :o) I gotta link to her. Maybe that will be my next Blog page change...

Good MORNING! Okay, so I am a little too sleepy to be that cheerful, but oh well! I have to start on my American History Mid-Term today. So, that's where my "spare time" will be spent.

Well, end of day. Time to go. Hope Mikey is home when I get there. I can't wait to hug him. He gives just the best hugs!

Okay, BREAK TIME! Got e from Jocelyn. Props out to her... she's the one that got me on this whole BLOG thing in the first place. Not as articulate as she is, but hey, this is me, right? :o) 'Sup Joc? :o)

not too bad. Printing the first draft of the resume now....

grrrrrrr

Well, I'm back. Traffic wasn't bad, but there are parts of town that are flooding. My shoes are SOAKED! Before I left campus, I saw this little old lady who was using a walker. She had on a rain bonnet and jacket, but she was still getting very wet. So, I tra-la-laaed over to her and held my umbrella over her and walked her to her truck. She was shocked. She also thanked me. It's like Ilissa says: "Treat others the way you want them to treat your Mom." Or, in this case, Grandmom. Either way, I am glad I got to help the little lady out. Now, I have to do Leif's resume. More when I get finished.

Woo HOO! So here I am, and I've revamped my new Blog. Added a few things and changed the colors. Kind of feels like Mardi Gras now! Well, Daniel and Valery came by, but we aren't going to lunch until tomorrow. So, I am off to go get Leif's resume (which I left at home on accident) and come back and type it now. It is a RAINY day, so I hope traffic isn't bad. Be back soon!

So I am setting up my blog, and Ed is giving me grief. Why? I dunno. You should ask Ed. Oh wait. You can't ask Ed, because he doesn't have a BLOG of his own. Ed is still talking. Angela is laughing at me and my silly self. And where is Daniel? I am hungry and it is time to go to lunch.

I wonder if everyone else rambles on like this in their Blogs?

Well, here's a new toy to play with! Let's see how it works.
