    I just want to say that I'm having a hard time finding something green to wear this morning, because most of my green stuff is lighter weight, and it's SNOWING, dang it!

    (and I haven't seen a robin yet!)

    No Robins here either and it snowed yesterday.

    Would anyone believe that I'm wearing Green underwear?

    Happy Saint Patty's Day Everyone.

    Coffee is a must have this morning, I only got two hours of sleep last night. Yawn.

    I didn't check the calendar. All I know is that my kids had to wear green to school today or risk being pinched.

    I had to drive the kids to school, we missed the bus (my bad) and I wasn't wearing green. One of the little boys in my daughters kindergarten class came up and pinched me, he's lucky that I had a cup of coffee before he did that, otherwise he might have ended up learning how to fly. I hate it when the kids miss the bus. UGH, driving in the morning sucks. I have to go through 3 school zones before getting to my kids school, going 30km/hour isn't my style. I'm grumpy.

    Time for another cup of java. Where are the girls? HC, Starty, Synnen, where are you? Not that you aren't good company Sneezy, you're Great!

    HC, I was told that you were a writer. You have meetings?

    Driving kids to school is one of those joys I won't experience... at least for another 5 - 10 years. The M-word still stops my heart just a little bit.

    LOL!! That's awesome Alty... poor kindergartener... learning to fly... love it.

    I'm going to Starbucks for lunch... for one of my divinity-in-a-cup espresso concoctions. Mmm... bad meeting = intense need for caffeine.

    Yes, I am a writer. Long story short, my company relocated from Tampa Bay. When they relocated they lost 75% of the staff. The 15 man editorial/curriculum development department was reduced to lil' ol' me. Sooo... I am the go-to-girl for anything print. New ad campaigns, internet FAQs, curriculum reprints, initial curriculum development, articles for print, magazine ads, legal junk, presidential speeches, you name it, I write it.

    This was a marketing meeting... a marketing meeting that I walked out of with three more projects on TOP of my original 7.

    Oh well... I just need more coffee... the more coffee I drink the faster I type! :D

    Okay Sneezy, we believe you. St. Patty's day has officially been moved, I can now take off my green underwear.:p

    HChicky - My hubbies on nights this week so he's going to pick my daughter up from school, do you think I should ask him to stop at Starbucks on the way back? Alty happy, hubby happy, that should convince him.:)

    ... falling asleep. Sadly, I was up with you alty. Why? Not sure why. I've been having trouble sleeping lately.

    up until 530. Woke up at 7. realized class wasn't going to happen. Went to 930 class. Back home for lunch. Going to work. Home for dinner. Out sbucks to do more work.

    ... when will this madness end?

    oh yeah, in less than 2 months =D

    2 months! You can do it! What is a brief 2 months, but a puddle in the grand oceanic scheme of things? Will we have to address you as DocSneezy from then on? ;)

    Not sleeping? That's not fun. I know I slept really well this weekend... dressed windows (i.e. non-naked) are much better than blinds for keeping light out... Ooo... there you go, Sneezy... get yourself one of those fluffy "DIVA" sleep mask things...

    Maybe not "DIVA"... I'm sure they'd have a more masculine one... :D

    I heard it, and decided that the Vatican was on crack.

    Like they're going to move parades and such in big cities like Chicago that take MONTHS of planning. Screw that.

    I'm wearing green, I'll pinch anyone who isn't, and damn the church anyway.

    Besides, they're stealing TWO of my holidays again this weekend.
