    Johnny!  Language. Keep it PG Big Smile

    Fabulous weather here!  Looking forward to a great weekend!

    Steph, that sux about the IRS...I hope you can amend and come up with some other deductions to make it less painful.

    Good luck at the eye doctor Jackie!

    I'm knee deep in planning the Barcelona events.  Getting excited!  I fly out Saturday 10/29 and return the following Friday.  We chose the W Hotel...which is located right on the Mediterranean Sea.  Oh yea...I'm taking the camera gear.  I can't wait to see all the "old" architecture in that city.

    Why is it that short weeks seem sooooo long and then, I've got a client who just HAS to  come in to pick up a copy of his return way after I would have like to leave???

    I wanna run my errands and just go home.  Wah.

    Barb - I am green with envy over your trip to Barcelona. Let me know if you need someone to carry your luggage. Jackie - sending calming vibes for scheduling the eye surgery. I'm sure I'd feel the same way although everyone I know who's had it says it wasn't bad and the improvement in vision was amazing. I totally agree about this short week seeming longer than a regular week - ugh! My commute is about to sending me over the edge. My average speed coming in this morning was 16 miles and hour and it's about 16 miles from home to here I just started using Google Chrome and for some reason, I don't see any of the emoticons - hmmmmm *confused*

    no paragraphs or emotes or editor in Chrome Cathy. Forum is optimized for IE...most other browsers don't work well on it. Another reason the sw here leaves MUCH, to be desired.

    Thanks Gina! Since IE made me want to bash my computer into little pieces yesterday, I'll stick with Chrome and deal the lack of emoticons. ETA - Is there a way to at least force paragraphs or breaks? I just realized how awful it looks with out them.

    What you doing watching a one armed man hang wallpaper?  Wondering how he cooks?

    Naw.  Someone has to supervise to make sure the wallpaper isn't hung upside down. Stick out tongue

     Callie, hope those abx finish the job and you get a break for a bit.

    Thanks for all the good thoughts/hugs.  From what I have found so far, it looks like some of the forms I was supposed have gotten didn't get forwarded since I had moved and that's how they got skipped, b/c I'm scatter-brained and it never hit me "hey! XYZ thing isn't here."  But, I called one place they're going to send me new forms and she said that I did pay taxes on it, so that should helps some, since that was almost 1/2 of what was missing.  I'm not looking forward to having to go get the ex to sign anything, b/c I know he's going to make a big deal out of it, even though I'm not even going to ask him to pay any of it.  

    Deb, that drink looks awesome!  I'll take 2! :D

    All this phone talk reminds me that we're eligible to upgrade.  But there's really no point, we have the EVOs and the only other things I'd be interested in is the Samsung Galaxy or the EVO 3D, and there both $200 even with the upgrade discount.  Uh....pass.  My step-sister wants my phone though, so maybe if I can get her to give me some $$ to make a new one cheaper, but I doubt it.

    I would be a seriously happy woman if I could eat mac & cheese everyday.

     I just had to force myself to stop eating crunchy Cheetos - oh my they are marvelous!!

    Cathy with Chrome you can use

    at the beginning and

    at the end for paragraphs - and you only have to do every other paragraph.  It is a pia at first but you get used to it.  Safari on the iPad doesn't put in paragraphs or allow emoticons etc

    I could eat mac and cheese twice a day every day!  Too bad it's so fattening.  It's a once in a while treat for me.  I make the best in the world, btw. lol

    Surgery scheduled for November 21st.  That's the week of Thanksgiving and DH is off all that week.  That's a blessing and a curse. lol   I'm nervous but excited at the prospect of better vision.  I told my eye doc what my vet told me last week, when I told her I needed cataract surgery.  She (vet) peered into my eye and said "I don't see any cataracts".  I was rendered speechless at her remark. lol  When I told the eye doc this morning, he laughed so hard he almost fell off his chair.  He's an old dog training friend of mine so I knew he wouldn't take offense or think I was doubting his diagnosis.  I see the laser specialist next week to have some tests done.  I have crummy retinas that tear (due to being so near-sighted), so the two docs need to collaborate a bit.  One more thing for me to worry about. 

    Karen, DH spends every free moment with his new love, I mean phone. lol  I called him when I got out of the eye doc's office but he didn't answer.  Called his office line when I got back to work.  His main concern was why he didn't get my call and I had to give him a light virtual slap to get him to listen to my surgery info.  I guess you and DH won't be going out for date night tonight? lol  He's got a date with his new love, I mean phone. lol

    Barb, I am so excited for you about the trip to Spain.  Can't wait to see pictures and hear all about it.  Bring Tina a handsome Spaniard home.  I have it on good authority that she prefers the very short ones, heightwise.  Had to add that about the height, because I know how you guys go right to the gutter.  Big Smile
