Michael no one is making you post to PCW’s threads. ## Today I will decide what to do with my bonus check from work. Kick back this weekend and watch the ACC tourne, which started last night. I left work at 12:30 to catch some of the games today. _I’ve learned that if someone says something unkind about me, I must live so that no one will believe it._ ---

She thinks I’m looking at the Mexican girls. She’s nuts. But that Odalys Garcia – she’s a hottie, isn’t she? And she’s Cuban, not Mexican!) I thought I was the only person who did this. I get an inordinate amount of glee out of being able to figure out what the Mexican Soap Opera people are talking about. And PS, Jazzmine, those are the cutest duckies I’ve ever seen in my life. And PSS, to all you “let the dog in & out x 10 people” - buy a dog door. You’ll never believe the freedom it brings. ---

Oh yeah, I forgot MY list. Today I will: 1. Buy a Spin Bike 2. Really try hard to work a lot this afternoon. 3. Decide whether to a) go out and play with my SO tonight or b) be good, stay home, work out, and eat healthy or c) a combination of the two (ie, work out, THEN go out and play.) ---

Athena - If we buy doggie doors what the hell will we bitch about? sheesh. The ducklings are adorable, aren’t they? Everyone…get your torches…we’re going after Ike. I’m like a gramma with the mile-long fold out section of pictures. If anyone wants to see more of the animals, just let me know 🙂 ---
