My sunshine, my Digitthemost...he's gone for two weeks. So, here I am on the first bright, hot day of summer feeling like gray clouds are hanging over my head...yeah, yeah, how schmaltzy...but hell, I miss him. Hope he enjoys the time with his family, though...sly guy, he made it a surprise visit, so they are going to be ecstatic! They haven't seen each other in over a year. So, my summer may not be off to a great start, but his is, and I'm happy for him.

Here is hoping you have a Wonderful Easter Sunday, JU. Enjoy your church services, good luck with the egg hunting, and don't eat toooo much Easter candy. And for those not celebrating Easter, hope your Sunday is just as enjoyable.

I've been on and off JoeUser lately (more off than on), and when I go even two or three days without browsing around, I feel like I've missed something. Maybe I've missed an important announcement (I do know of TW's upcoming bundle of joy, though!) , or lost out on a really good article...or missed some spontanous goings on. Yes, I guess I could backtrack, but I haven't had much opportunity to. Ah, well...I doubt I'm the only one who goes through the "I don't have time/ I'm too busy / I ...

I am slowly noticing that I’m picking up my guy’s mannerisms. That certain way he says “What the hell...”, well, I am saying it in exactly the same tone now. And the way he gets opinionated about idiot drivers, well, I find myself getting irate at them in the same way. He’ll make up weird names for people...For example, if he hears a woman being loud, he’ll say something like, “Dang, loudness, quiet down.” Or if he sees a person out in the street wearing a big coat on a not so cold day...

Have you ever had a week where your routine is just thrown out the door...like nothing is just as it should be? Okay...well, maybe you haven't...lol...but that is what I am experiencing this week. My week started off with a way-too-long grocery shopping trip, which I made after work.  Sigh...I should have gone on Sunday.  It was crazy there, to say the least.  What should have been a 45 minute trip turned out to be more like an hour and a half.  The only thing I wanted to ...

Well, I made it through the first week of school...well, work.  It wasn't easy since I spent most of the week worrying about my stepdad.  I felt pretty lost the first two days, but I got back in the game by Wednesday and things were good from there. I have 5 classes--about 120 kids--coming into my classroom each day.  Yikes (I am a Social Studies/Reading&Language Arts teacher, btw)! For the most part, they have been well behaved.  I am having a tough time with ...

Well, my 4th will be spent going to the movies, (maybe) going over to a barbeque, and then hopefully catching some fireworks somewhere (I'd love to go see our local symphony play along to a fireworks show, but if it's too crazy out there, maybe I'll catch some on TV...lol). I love this day.  I love that even though my family is very much into our  Mexican culture and traditions, we are just as much into American patriotism.  We were pretty much taught at a young age the importa...

I've been replying to a few JU articles tonight, and after I type up my response and press send, the page does not show my reply.    What in theee heck is going on.

  Hope everyone has a Wonderful Easter Today.    And if you don't celebrate Easter, have a Happy Sunday.

Give me a 5 Sentence Update on Your Life, fellow JoeUsers.   Why am I asking for 5 sentences? Well, I have been suffering from short attention span-itis lately, so 5 works for me...lol. Here are mine: I have been having some health troubles.  It might be GERD or gastritis...who the hell knows (might need to see a doc again).  I now have an elliptical trainer that's up and running!  The question now is if I will use it regularly.   I have a good c...

~Auntie Rose again~ I finally have a nephew. He was born at the end of August , and he is such a tiny little thing! It feels weird AND wonderful now being able to buy green turtle shirts and little blue baseball caps. I will continue to enjoy giving my nieces pretty, pink, girly things, though. It's been over 12 years since we've had a boy in the family (and I'm counting close cousins, aunts,and uncles, too), so this has been a pretty special event. ~Yuma~ My honey and I we...
