I think it is just being here all day with the work that is going on etc... But, tomorrow I'm headed to the mall for a bit of retail therapy...LOL!!!! I think it will be better to get out for a bit. We are debating on going away for a night or two just to get all of us out of the mess that is going on here....

It's horrible, isn't it!?? When we were having the kitchen remodelled it really got me down - the noise, the dust, the mess, not feeling like the house was my own!!! Definitely try and get out and about. Taking a break sounds like a great idea...

Well darn if we didn't lose power last night!!! We just finished dinner and were doing homework. For you up in the northeast, good luck with this storm. Hopefully it'll ease up before it gets there. Our power was out for 3 hours the first time then it went out again in the middle of the night but I went back to sleep so don't know when it came back on. My sil and bil were on their way home and saw two transformers blow in our neighborhood. Thank goodness it came back on when it did because the temp in here dropped 4 degrees in 3 hours. Hope everyoe has a good day. I'll play ketchup later.

Hi Abby! Look forward to chatting with you later - power permitting!!! Have a great day...

Getting away would be nice, Looks like I may have to wait until April,
I am scheduled for a two day training class in McLean Va

I have gotten appoval to take a couple of vacation days after the class
so some sightseeing in DC is possible.

Sounds like a good plan, Ed!!!

I am jealous. I was supposed to get into NYC next week for a long weekend with DW for the Big East Tournament (we're huge Pitt Basketball fans) but we have a family situation (my wife's mom is gravely ill) that has stopped that. I nearly was going to come up mid week for a day and a half for a biz meeting and to go and watch some hoops but just decided against it. We usually get to NYC once a year, maybe twice and it's now been a full year since last visit and I'm missing it big. We've promised DD9 a trip to NY for her 10th birthday next fall so at least I have that trip. My east coast client also wants to meet in NY soon since I had to cancel next week so I may get my fix coming up real soon.

Hope everyone is having a good evening

Letterman's Top 10 of Spring in NYC:

10.Seeing first robin of spring getting mugged by a pigeon.
9. When the buds finally bloom on New York City's one and only tree.
8. Melted snow means we finally solve a lot of missing-person cases.
7.Sidewalk vendors replace their counterfeit designer scarves with counterfeit designer sunglasses.
6. When your cab careens out of control into the East River, you can pretend it's a fun water park ride.
5. Every spring, Governor Pataki and I rent a VW bus and follow Blink 182 cross country.
4.Just when you need him, a well-rested Batman finally returns from his condo in Boca.
3.Cutting to the front of line at Ben & Jerry's because dammit I'm the mayor (referring to Giuliani).
2.Hot babes showing a litle leg (video of Giuliani as a Rockette).
1.You can go out to Yankee Stadium and be damn sure you won't run into Hillary.

My own personal favorite sign of Spring is return of the urine odor in the subways....

Hey guys! Just thought I'd share with you that I've broken the 8000 post threshold!!!

I was just posting on the UK DISDieters thread and noticed the milestone, so time to crack open the diet caff-free coke and raise a glass...
