Ouch. First MOnnie's team, and now Spring's. Who will be #1 in college FB next week? Oregon, maybe. So after winning a game 52-3 (or 6?) today VU lost 43-0. Also OUCH. Jim watching the Phillies. Ah, no worries; I love my Buckeyes rain or shine, and no ouchies here. The Buckeyes are having a good year, the Badgers are always formidable opponents, and The Big Ten looks really great. Who wants perfect? It's much more fun when you've got real competition. THE BEST NEWS: My dream of a post-season Bama-OSU game is still alive! If MSU stays perfect in the Big Ten, they will go to the Rose Bowl (assuming they don't go to the NC). If OSU and Bama keep good records, say . . . 1 loss or 2 . . . maybe they will get invited to one of the other BCS bowls together? And Monnie and I can still go to the game, where I can still console her by buying her a consolation Appletini after the game. Nebraska lost. Worst part - they didn't look good doing it. 4 dropped passes that would have been touchdowns. The Freshman quarterback that was hailed almost as the Second Coming, got shut down in rushing, too. He was pulled in the 3rd or 4th quarter. The experienced Senior they put back in did a whole lot better, but it was too little, too late.

;D Is it weird that I could happily spend all day trying to get shots of birds in flight? Granted, it would make for a very boring blog... No blog driven by joyful pleasure is ever boring to similar minded folks. As long as you're loving it, that's what matters! Morning S'cubies! It took a lot of effort to crawl out of bed this morning, what with the drizzly weather. (Did you know 'drizzly' was a word? huh) Good morning to sleep in. Drizzly is a word in my vocabulary, and the Firefox spellcheck approves of it (but not, oddly, of "spellcheck"). This morning in addition to the regular routine, I set up my crockpot with pseudo coq au vin, I walked up to the market, I washed the cotton fabric I bought yesterday, and I have hopes of bookbinding later, after I nip over to the library and after Elder Daughter leaves for school so I can use the kitchen table.

I should have gotten up when my brain was keeping me awake with its hamsterwheel squeeking about how difficult this day would be; when I got out here at 8:15 I was faced with the sad reality of no coffee ground, so I had to do a lot of fussy tasks with no coffee and no painkillers.
Julia, ouch, ouch, ouch

Got to feel a tiny bit happy for Oregon and Boise, though.

All my spellcheckers seem to like you to use a lot of hyphens in compound words. Even weirder it let spellcheckers go but lit up spellcheck until I put in the hyphen. spell-check ============= And, in exciting news (to me): I have sod! Granted it is a 10 foot by 4 foot rectangle of sod in a yard that is close to an acre (I think?) But it is right off the back concrete patio area. Now if the much much much larger space of brown dirt which has just been seeded will grow into something even half as nice ....

Good Monday morning, S'cubies! Wake up, wake up, wherever you are, and greet your fellow S'cubies who fell from a star. They fell from the sky, they fell very far, and RealLife they say is the name of the star! Good morning! Well, it was morning here until about 10 minutes ago. Does that still count?

There's a guy named Todd here at the coffee shop. I told him about "kneel before Todd" and he was highly amused. He said he didn't think he could actually get anyone to kneel before him, and I refrained from the obvious dirty comment. I think I've grown.

Went for pre-op appointment this morning to be asked loads of questions and meet with the anesthesiologist so she doses me properly next Monday. I'm kind of getting antsy to get this all finished!

I send you some good wishes for that via the mail. It should be there in the next couple of days. Got all digits crossed for success.

I AM SO SICK. I've had this cold for a week and I can't get rid of it. I was in bed all day yesterday with fever. I feel so not good. Stupid travel. You have to be careful about bodily fluid exchange, no matter where you are. Not that you weren't or anything. Get well soon!

I like walking in a drizzle too, myself. I like drizzle walks and also walking on foggy days. The world looks so unreal then. ITA!
