I am now addicted to Facebook. Gah. Out of the frying pan and into the fire… ---

_~Happy Birthday, SCL!~_ We miss you! Come see us more often! Finally finished grading my papers. Stupid kid plagiarized both of hers. I really should fail her completely … I don’t think the school will let me though. Argh. ETA: **rigs** , Facebook is evil. The amusing part about it is that during grad school, Facebook was at its busiest the nights before major papers were due. :smack: ---

Shooot, I even had your birthday on my calendar, **SCL**. But I got distracted and didn’t check my calendar today. So… **HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!** I should be asleep, but…instead I just finished organizing DVDs, which is something I’ve meant to do for a while. And now I guess I’ll find my way to beddie bye. I’ll be posting the next MMP around 6:00 a.m. Eastern time… See everyone in the next MMP. Hugs to all… GT ---

Thanks, ya’ll! Just shows that I should stop in more… Snakes lost both games in Knoxville this weekend. Grrr. And my favorite player got hit in the face with a puck Friday night, so he missed Saturday night’s game. I am very full of pot roast and starting to get sleepy, but I need to stay up for a while longer because I work 4-midnight tomorrow night. Did I tell ya’ll that I’ve lost 10 lbs? Haven’t really been trying, but I think drinking water instead of soda at work has a lot to do with it. Some of the meds I’m on make my mouth really dry and soda just doesn’t taste very good. The doctor told me to use hard candies, but I seem to have lost most of my taste for sweets. I still love dark chocolate but the hard candies I’ve tried are just too sweet. So I tote around a bottle of water. Nothing like being on the telephone with a police dispatcher and having your tongue glue itself to the roof of your mouth…thank goodness it wasn’t an Atlanta area dispatcher; they are mean! ---

_Happy (belated) birthday **SnakesCatLady**!_ Was (and am) kind of swamped lately – sorry I forgot. :o To make up for this I’ll wish you Happy Birthday again in the new MMP 🙂 **Haze** – admit it, at least they chose a reputable source! 😃 :rolleyes: ---

Hi **Roo**! It’s been a while since you’ve been here. I’ve missed your posts! Chaperones, well…I say you can watch or participate, but \*\*Lunch \*\* might have another opinion. :eek: ---

I figure this **could** get a bit tiring for me at some point… Maybe then **I’ll** just watch the two of \*\*you \*\*for a while… 😃 ---

Children, children! You know room 304 is available – what are you doing out here in front of everybody? 😃 Can someone give me just enough energy to finish the last smidgen of this job? I’m running out of give-a-damn fast, but I really, really do not want to have to get up and face this in the morning. If I could just concentrate, it would take me 15 minutes. Grr!
