ELLEN!!!!

That's me showing pride for my middle name cause it's, duh, "Middle Name Pride Day"!!! 

In other exciting news, um...oh, it's Kristyn's birthday today!  She doesn't read this, however, so she won't see it but those of you who are friends with her on FB can wish her a good one - though in Australia, it's almost tomorrow so it would be a BELATED HB!  So confusing.  I wonder if Pat/Anne wished her a happy one on the 10th, just to cover her bases...hee hee!  (Those of you who don't get that - Kristyn's mom - Pat, who now goes by Anne - celebrated Kristyn's b-day on the 12th when she was a kid, not realizing that her b-day was actually the 11th.  It screwed me up for years!)

Okay so Zekey Zoo news:  Went to the vet yesterday and that boney knot on his leg is not a boney knot at all but rather a swelling around the actual knot of fishing line in his leg.  It's normal and SHOULD eventually go down.  It's the last of the swelling that hasn't reduced yet.  It could rupture, however, and release fluid so we have to keep an eye on it.  If that happens, the Dr. said it isn't a big deal, we just need to call.  So Zeke is doing great and recovering as he should.  He can start his walks back up on April 1st.  Yeah!

In other news, I've started getting reply emails back from the Ohio reps that I've emailed.  These letters are making me more mad than I was and I have to be careful when reading so that I don't hit "reply" and say, "F*%k YOU!!!"  That wouldn't be smart, would it?

Did You Know?
The site where the Parthenon was built had to be cleared of hundreds of dinosaur bones (then called giants' bones) before construction could begin. That's cool!



So TGIFF!  This has been a really long week.  I'm ready for a break, I'll tell you that.  Especially from Diablo.  He was so bad yesterday in LA.  He was argumentative, wouldn't do his work, screamed (literally) at the top of his lungs, walked out (took off really) and then got a lunch detention.  By the time next period came, however, he was back to being an angel and doing all his work.  That boy is such a nut.  I'm amazed I didn't scream right back at him though.  I think he may have ruptured my eardrum too.  That kid could drive a person to drink.  Kim, I hope you're back today!  You are a calming spirit to Diablo I think.  Oh and if you are back - bring BHC II; If not - feel better!  We miss you!

Well that's it.  I need some suggestions for din din tonight.  I'm thinking chicken but don't know what chicken to make.  Would love a good recipe or suggestion!  K - I'm out...later!  Happy Friday and Happy Johnny Appleseed Day!
