i went to bed at 9:00 last night. and i still feel like crap. i was hoping to get a flight to visit my mom this weekend, but there is no e-saver. and so i cried. because i need to get away from here and i know we would have fun shopping and such. (think maybe hormones are flying here?)
so now i guess i have nothing to do but pack or clean or maybe i should write. yeah, that might be what i need to do. we'll see.

sometimes you don't have much to say, but a need to talk. so here i am again. went to the florist and got all that i need/want for the wedding. she doesn't think it will be much over 400 so that is cool with me. i have alot of bridesmaids which adds up, but i didn't use any out of season flowers.....and i did get what i wanted for me cause, well, it is my wedding.
speaking of which....is the song pachebal's canon in D that was in charmed? i think that was it, and it is one i want to use for music but i don't know if it will be for "my" walk or my mom's. now, about charmed. i thought they did a neat thing bringing back Piper's mom and grandmother. it made me think of all the "angels" who will be with me on my wedding day. but it really made me think of my friend and her daughter. see, m's husband died 3 years ago, and when i think of fathers walking their daughters down the aisle, i always think of him and n., their daughter and how he won't be there. makes you wish fiction could be real sometimes.
karen sending hugs to you and ron, and keeping you in my thoughts. i have seen how families can hurt those you love, and you are right. it makes you angry and makes you want to protect "him".
amanda hugs to you to. i wish i could help you with the panic. but i can send you good vibes of faith to help you through.
bonnie i had to comment on the bladder thing. doesn't it just suck when you know what is wrong and what will help....and "the doctor has to see you" i have had that happen and sometimes i can get there and other times, life gets in the way. but after my winter of weekly calls, i think they understand more that i do know my body. hope you feel better.
and danielle, i was laughing at your buried car comments, because i remember in 93 and 94 digging out my car and making a nice parking place only to have one of my neighbors take it. well, after a few times of me parking in front of their driveway or pulling up right behind them....they stopped taking my spot. but i do also remember how long it took to dig out the 24 inches or more of snow. glad we missed the brunt of it, but we do have enough to look wintery again.
and welcometo tara.....i would put in a link, but i need to find it somewhere on my desk....!!!

Here I am. Well rested and alert, but in sweats because I don't really have to go anyplace today. OK, I am going to meet with the florist, but I know her fairly well, and I don't think she will mind if I look like I do. Somedays, I just don't want to have to do anything with my hair or clothes or make-up.
We got about 6 inches of snow and more is to come I heard. "They" (the infamous weather reporters) are saying that we will have a worse rush hour tomorrow, so maybe a snow delay again. The only concern with that is: the father of one of the teacher's died on Saturday, and we were going to take a group of kids to the funeral, but we have to leave by a certain time. Oh well, no sense worrying about it now.
My blog reading has brought a few comments to my mind:
Bonnie, I understand about your daughter being upset about the principal's office. I was the "model child" most of the time---although I did tend to talk alot, and when I got yelled at, it really upset me. My 5th grade teacher actually yelled at me for reading a Trixie, and now she is the assistant principal and we laugh about it on a regular basis.
Speaking of kids, I can feel for what Em is going through with the age/crime thing. I can't understand it, and I should be able to. It is tough to be able to see things intellectually but not always emotionally. However, I have faith in her Mom to help her out. She is a fantastic woman.
Misty, Laura,Heather
peace to you when you head off to work this week. Sometimes you just need that flashing message in your head that says---"it's not me, it's them....they are the ones who have the problem." And sometimes it does help to remember that.
Carol, I keep reading to see if there is news about the baby. I know you are counting down---make sure you tell your hubby to contact someone to let us know~~~
Ready to celebrate?!!
Were you trapped in the blizzard when you were leaving Reading? And did you have a successful trip? Lots of goodies?
Ok, I know I have more, but I can't find my note I wrote, so the rest will wait until later.

i am at home. this is not odd or unusual except that i was supposed to be at an overnight retreat/meeting/inservice for the guidance counselors of the pittsburgh diocesan schools. well, the snow that is coming had many worried. first, the cancelled our overnight and then later, because we had to travel the farthest, our entire meeting. now, the whole inservice for all the teachers is cancelled. so, i get a snow day even though we didn't have school.
did a bit---hell, alot of cleaning this weekend when keith was at work. i got rid of clothes that don't fit, stuff i don't want, started a box of this and that for our yard sale in the summer. packed a few shelves of books up, and made lists of things i need to do for the wedding, the move, and just to keep my sanity.
its been a pretty uneventful weekend until the snow blew through. now, although i am desperately hoping for spring, i get to shovel snow and be stuck inside for a bit. but i understand that some have it worse....
tina and beth, are you getting hit with the snow. keep safe and warm. i have more comments to make to all of you....but i will do that tomorrow when i am feeling refreshed.
good night to all.
