Between the winds out there doing 20-30 with 45-50mph gusts and the full moon the stupid dog is insane this morning and not in a good way.

This day is going to suck.

I just know it.

Gorgeous sunny day here.   :-)

Something I thought would take most of the day at work in fact only took a fraction of the time so I can catch up with dull admin stuff.

30 and ice when I left for work, 35 and sleet/rain when I got to work.  Getting up to 45 with up to 1/2" rain predicted.  Of course, the ground is still frozen, so lots of flooding predicted.

Other than that, no complaints.  Spring on the way.

Cloudy today, supposed to hit 65.  Afraid to go too far way from home today, as my daughter may not make it through the whol day at school...she came home early yesterday, pukey and feeling icky.  Said she still feels icky, but went to school anyway, because her bio teacher is a nazi about missing.

I am going to go for a walk, though.  Need to get some fresh air.

It's raining here. A great day to be sick. I'm laying in bed (put a load in the washer and emptied/loaded the dishwasher though) watching TV. I have the stomach virus my husband just got over yesterday.

Man sorry you have the stomach crud.  That's no fun!  Although you do have good timing, my drive to work in the rain was not pleasant  :p

I had class this morning.  I left for class 20 minutes early b/c of the crappy rain, I showed up just a few minutes late.  There are group projects in this class BUT this one girl is in there and I know she does her work and is a good student so we teamed up. 

I wish I was at home all curled up watching a movie, it's that kind of day.  Oh well, I guess I'll work instead.

The local weather wonks are forecasting snow, sleet, and freezing rain in the morning.  Maybe I'll call in sick tomorrow with a bad case of Anal Glaucoma (just can't see my a$$ going to work).   :-)

They can't seem to figure out what ours is going to do....at 8 this morning there was a temp difference of 20 degrees between here and Nashville. We still haven't gotten the rain...but it looks really gloomy out.

Working on reports and getting all the contract paperwork together and turned in on my buyers who were looking at big houses...the seller, after flat out rejecting my buyer's offer 2 weeks ago, came back the end of last week and asked my buyer to reconsider....we went up 10k, seller came down 15k...we have a deal!!! We close on the first of April. My checkbook is happy, but I'm really happy for my buyers....they love the house and that's a great feeling for me....means I did my job.

Clear and cold in the mornings here. It's a nice break from the rain and snow (no talking about the "drought" right now  :whatever:) we had for the past couple of weeks.

Amazon baby.  First, I only had to buy two books.  One is the book assigned to all students university wide Simply Success:  How to Start, Build, and Grow a Multimillion-Dollar Business the Old-Fashioned Way that's a new book that I got for $12.  Then there's my management book that I picked up for $13 (used, but excellent condition with CD).  Those two plus shipping I spent a little over $30. 

The Simply Success is by the founder/president/CEO of Quill Corporation.  Two professors have talked about it a little bit and both said it was very interesting.

Finished my book last night and started on Satan's Circus.  Pretty good so far.  Nothing else happening but work and more work.

The sun may be out, but I'm extremely cranky, due to allergies flaring up (thank GOD for generic Zyrtec :p ) Itchy, watery red eyes, sneezing and runny nose?  Whoever still wants Spring to arrive in their area is INSANE!  :hammer:.

I do have some baked chicken in the oven, along with some green beans and black-eyed peas.  :yum: (I'm actually cooking for myself this evening, since the cafeteria's offerings aren't too appealing today. :()

Will do some homework tonight, and play on Pogo for a bit.
