Nibbs XVIII (Page 18)

well, that's it for me

nighty night Cat  

Nite Beth!

Morning Nibbs!

Kristen - did you have a good visit with your mom?  I love my mom, but I'm always sort of ready when she leaves also

Jen - get your coffee so you can wake up

Morning Nibbs!

Wow, I had a lot of catching up to do here.  I think I'm braving city driving for mom today, she wants to see some of the post war architecture around the Fan...(Jen and Kristen understand, sorry to everyone else)

I want to run, it's gorgeous out there today!

Have fun today, Judi.  The fan is pretty cool.  I like driving on Monument and seeing all the statues. 

Beth, I have coffee and it's not helping too much.  A nap seems like a better idea. 

hope it goes well!  

enjoy the beautiful day  

oh yes, a nap does sound so much better!  My coffee isn't doing much either 

D001 - 2008-03-27 8:59 AM. Nibbs = Sanity? LOL

Thank God for the tom-tom.  I got in and out of Richmond without getting lost.  Went down Monument Avenue then over to Carytown because my daughter needed some stuff from the costume shop for her role in Annie.  (sheeh, $46.00 later for a wig, stage make up and false eyelashes--  that's money I could use for race stuff)

If it works like the Star Trek transporter system you should be getting the vibes for patience and such now.

Yes.  I heard it's very similar to the force that Little Debbie inflicts on Nibbs...

They go back to school on Monday, right? 

LOL.  I got really good at parallel parking my first semester at VCU because I didn't have a parking pass and I had to park on the street.  I always drive when we go to the Fan and Carytown because my hubby can't parallel park nearly as well as I can.   

HI YA NIBBS....

Maybe the whole kid behavior is linked to some control by outer space aliens... my 5yr old does always seem to talk about his "spider friends" that live far far away from here (yep not just one imaginary friend but several that live on another planet, he even has a "spider daddy" and "spider mommy"... scary)  I am forutunate enough that only once or twice I had to bring them to the grocery together... now I try to shop before any one wakes up (it's nice b/c at 6:30 on Sunday mornings store is nice and quiet and there are no lines).

Spent my whole morning (10 to 1) in meetings and running errands for work $$$ mileage expenses

Proposed idea that we apply for grant, found out grant deadline was Mon, found grant directions to prepare for next year, Asst. Sect Mgr suggest we look at it in Oct or Nov for Mar deadline, I print it.... 81 PAGES OF DIRECTIONS!!!!  The FAQ's are 10 pages alone!!!  This is going to be like writing a thesis AGAIN!!!!! Maybe I should look for an intern from the University to take this on as their thesis project?  Hmmm....?

enders_shadow - 2008-03-27 3:42 PM Afternoon Nibbs! Sorry, Pam - I actually had a fairly nice day at home with the Monkeys (but it has only been one day...I worked yesterday )...we ate a leisurely breakfast, went to the Y so I could workout, then went shopping (little girl soccer cleats are sooo cute). After shopping, we grabbed (evil) fast food and had a picnic at a park and played on the playground and ran laps around the nature trail. (Younger Monkey had a run/walk thing going on, it was so cute.) Then we came home and the #@%#$# cleaning service was still here ... so we watched TV (old cartoons that I even remembered - gotta love Snagglepuss) while they finished. Good stuff! Tomorrow, Sugar Daddy is staying home too - I have to teach one class, but otherwise, we're going to have a family play day. Glad you had fun in the Fan, Judi. I hate going down to Carytown because I can't parallel park. (sshhhhh....don't tell anyone)

You guys should have caught the get up on one guy at the costume shop.  I don't think he was in costume, it struck me as something he usually wore from the demeanor of the person!

oops, double post.  I got a lot of cleaning done myself.  Scrubbed greasy dust from the tops of my kitchen cabinets and vacuumed the top edges on the curtains cause those things aen't getting dryel until they come down for painting.

HUH????  That's absurb!!!  What about online information for kids school projects???  I don't recall being allowed to use school computers after school time.  Not that I've looked, but I haven't noticed encyclopedia's in our libraries since the invention of internet.  I could see them websensing a lot of stuff, but what about legitimate research use, you're a LIBRARY!!!

Let me guess it was decided by a council of people that all have enough money for each person in there house to have their own laptop and wireless 24/7 access.

Let's hope the community is able to speak up!!! 

I feel for you, b/c you are going to be caught between the public and the gov't.
