According to my doctor I am borderline anemic. So now I need to go make an appointment to have some blood tests (slightly ironic thing to have done to an anemic), take some prescription level iron and try to work more red meat into my diet. My mother had the satisfaction of hearing the was right last night. I told her not to get too excited, I don't admit that I'm wrong that often. She laughed and brought up the Liberty Bell story again. Lol, while I don't remember it too well she always says that was the moment when she knew I would be able to take care of myself. I was 5 or 6, we were in Philadelphia on a family trip and I started arguing with the National Park Service ranger at the Liberty Bell that what she was telling us about the bell was wrong. My dad ended up taking me out of the building until the poor lady was finished with her talk. Poor woman.

Speaking of my parents, things are not going all that well right now. Everytime my father has a "revelation" of some sort it involves something about my mother and why he doesn't think he can be married anymore. But they still ARE married. Sigh. Wednesday night, in the middle of one of my shows I might add, my sister called to tell me mom had taken off for a drive and wasn't home yet. Cause? My dad had decided their life together had been a lie. Bastard. The best part is he still thinks of himself as a good father. Yeah, for the first 23 years of my life but I would rather not discuss the last four years.

Last night the alumni council had an event at Klingers Pub. Considering it was our first at that location I think it went really well. If I remember right the final tally for atendees was around 40. Not too shabby. Because I am on the council steering committee I got to drink for free. Um, yeah. Free. That's all I have to say. This morning was rough. Really rough. Just another reminder why I do not go out during the week anymore. Good heavens I'm such a light weight in the drinking department. I was lit up like a Christmas tree by the time I got home. Lol, room mate Marti was having a good laugh at my expense but I've had many more at her's so it's only fair.

Nothing big is planned for this weekend. Tonight is my one Friday a month at job #2. I'll spend the entire night taking box scores and trying to talk myself out of the homemade cookies our editor makes. Tomorrow is errand and cleaning day. The weather is supposed to be crappy so it should be a good day for that. I'm also going to try to get to Brad & Loni's house for a visit in the afternoon. I haven't seen the crib monkey (thanks for that terminology Tom J.) yet and Brad's bugging me to come over so I'll go and say hi. Real exciting life I lead, huh? Oh yeah, Bob comes home tomorrow too but I have a hockey game so I doubt we'll get to hang out at all.


Here's a little something to kick off your weekend...


hand holding - you like to be in constant physical
contact with your special someone but you don't
want to take things too quickly.
