<--- left immediately for Pittsburgh (hockey tourney) (DS's team won :7 )
<--- now needs to get caught up with cleanning and smelly laundry

<--- Sydney Crosby kitty was so glad to have us home he spent most of the night licking our hands.

If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail. :eek:
 
<--- wildly waves at Evily and says DH is going to DC
<--- 's DH has to make a presentation in front of some huge bureaucratic body that doles out money
<--- says DH wants some money :7
 
<---waves to Judy
<---is glad she got through the funeral
<---is so sorry to hear about Judy's treadmill!
<---would cry and cry if <---'s treadmill broke
<---hopes Judy has a good, pain-free run at the gym
 
<---wonders if Michele's DH is nervous about giving that presentation
<---would like some money too, so maybe <--- should go to DC and make a presentation ;)
 
<--- confirms that DH is a little nervous because there's a lot riding on this
<--- thinks her DH will do just fine, though
<--- definitely thinks Emily should make a presentation:7
 
<---thought Michele was going to DC with her DH?
<---is sorry she's not making the trip
<---loves DC and all the neat stuff to see
<---tells Evily the weekend was wonderful
<---says (stop me if <--already told this story) DS, who has lost 60 pounds since moving into residence last July, ran up the "Rocky steps" of the Philadelphia Museusm of Art not once, but twice yesterday
<---says it was slow and steady, but he did it and did the Rocky-arms-up-victory-dance at the top
<---is having a microbiologist's nightmare/dream come true kind of day with 2 postive meningitis cases, one with wierdo Listeria bug, and a positive Shiga toxin (probably and E coli 0157:H7 - the bad one that was on the spinach)
<---bet you didn't expect a Microbiology lecture this morning
<---says there will be a quiz this afternoon
 
<--sends Judy a big hug and congrats DS on hockey tourney
<--poor SO was sad to see Notre Dame loose NCAA hockey
<--doesn't understand the fascination with ND
<--agrees that SOs and DHs can wreak havoc with healthy eating
<--is glad that most of the time SO will play along with eating well
<--wishes Michele's main squeeze luck with the presentation
<--thinks she must be proud
<--hopes to have a thunderstorm today for kicks and grins
 
<---is uber-proud of Robin's DS!!! :D
<---thinks running up the Rocky steps twice is a huge accomplishment
<---thinks all those bugs sound scary
<---wonders what kind of meningitis the 2 cases were
<---thinks, if <--- remembers correctly, that there are different kinds of meningitis - bacterial and viral?
<---has heard of Listeria, but never heard of Shiga toxin
<---will have to study hard for Robin's microbiology quiz! ;)
 
<--- says ooh meningitis -- that's scary!
<--- tells Robin she was supposed to go but other travel plans necessitated that she cancel this trip
<--- has been sorely tempted to break out the WHINE but has stopped herself
<--- is trying not to be a harpy:eek: :p
 
<---waves to Beavs
<---tells Beavs that <--- is a NCAA widow too
<---'s DH is obsessed with Purdue and WVU football and basketball
<---is glad that DH isn't yet obsessed with any of the other sports
<---wonders why we don't have an emoticon for "rolling eyes"
 
<--- confirms that she is very proud of her DH
<--- wonders what we should/could do about our renegade feasting DH's and SO's
<--- 's mom was a huge ND fan
 
<---LOL at the sports widows
<---'s DH is a sports widower
<---loves football and baseball, but skips basketball and hockey
<---says one meningitis was on a college student whose contacts will all have to be treated now
<---says the Listeria was on a baby:-(
<---explains that Shiga toxin is the poison Shigella and nasty E coli make that cause illness
<---is sure Emily will get an A on the quiz
<---saw a Newsweek article over weekend linking exercise with improved brain function
<---thinks we are all geniuses
<---wonders if that should be geniei?
 
<---waves good morning to all
<---allergies are blooming in my sinuses
<---agrees that school lunches are scary
<---can't believe that they irradiate the meat
<---packs three lunches a day
<---found the moths that have been plaguing me for months
<---found a large extended family of moths living in an unused Kashi cereal box
<---is secretly glad they chose the Kashi box over the Life
<---hates cereal made of twigs
<---hates the scale and wishes we could be better friends
<---loves the warmer weather and is going to try natural fertilizer today

Cheryl
 
<---waves goodmorning to all OAL ladies!
<---missed Robin's presence over the weekend
<---says all she missed was a lot of excited chatter about the mmm mmmm :)
<---hopes she had a good trip!
<---so sorry that Nancy isn't feeling better today!
<---says when she is crampy, she grabs one of those little self heating pads that you use for achy muscles etc.. and straps the sucker on underneath her clothes.
<---Buys them at Wal-mart in the drug section and makes sure she has a steady supply for that "time". Adds that they usually last the whole day before the heats fizzles out.
<---Says it's better than using a real heating pad and walking around the office with an extention cord coming out of the bottom of her pants!
<---thinks those little black ants need to leave Amelia alone!
<---doesn't blaim Emily for not wanting to work out with a crew of Arachnids either
<---hopes everyone gets their insect problems under control ;-)
<---knows that she will have problems too once the weather warms up - darned running mites....
<---sorry to hear about Judy's treadmill!
<---thinks she might renew her gym membership just to have access to a treadmill and elliptical machine
<---is SOOOO excited about getting to meet everyone in a few months!!!
 
<---waves to Liann :D
<---has never tried those peel-and-stick heating pads before
<---will have to remember that for when AF visits next month
<---is LOL at the image of walking around the office with a heating pad electrical cord dangling out of one's pants :+
<---is wondering where Shelley is
<---hopes she didn't get buried in antiques
 
<--- got a little teary eyed thinking of all Robin's DS has accomplished in the past year
<--- is so proud of him for making it up the Rocky steps!
<--- will not be taking Robin's micro test
<--- did not do well in micro as a nursing student
<--- hated mircro:eek:
<--- is breaking out in a cold sweat just thinking about her micro exam
<--- waves at Liann
<--- just saw Judy's terrible dreadmill account
<--- hopes it's something that can easily be fixed
<--- 's DH hates sports and that's one of the reason's she married him:7
 
<---will be sending a set of microbiology unknows to Michele to identify
<---sympathizes with Judy's and her broken treadmill
<---wishes Judy a happy run at the gym and hopes her hip behaves
<---is glad Emily sucked up the spider eggs before they became spiders
<---thinks it would be hard to workout while being teased by dangling spiders
<---also hopes Amelia and Cheryl get theirs bugs removed quickly
<---thinks there could be an aerobic workout made that incorporates bug stomping
<---thinks maybe Cathe should come up with a new step move called the bug removal stomp
<---also wonders where Shelley is
<---and also sheds a tear or two for how well DS is doing in his new life
 
<--just got the link from Emily for the tee shirt and is in love with it
<---says it is just as <--pictured it!!!
<---can't wait and may have to buy 2, knowing she will wear one out quickly
 
<--- tells Robin that she did not do well identifying organisms on her micro exam
<--- passed by the skin of her teeth:eek:
<--- wants Judy to know that <--- stopped by the website for your friend the other day and was so touched by your post
<--- just had a MAJOR invasion of ants and had to call an exterminator 3 TIMES!!!
<--- says they were pesky devils
<--- hates spiders, too, and loves to suck then up with a vacuum
<--- is also wondering where Shelley is today
<--- can relate to Cuz'z weather -- thinks we have gone from winter straight to summer here in Ohio
<--- is wondering who all she has missed
<--- apologizes, but she has the hardest darn time keeping up
<--- says it comes with old age:p
<--- edits to say she is really excited about the T-shirt
