VOLS ROCK!!


Just a quick note... The University of Tennesse Volunteers beat the South Carolina Gamecocks tonight in South Carolina!! Rock on "Rocky Top!!" Three more tough opponents await the Vols, but I know they will prevail!!

On the a side note, The Ohio State Buckeyes remained undefeated!!! GO BUCKS!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I have been busy unpacking, cleaning, unpacking, and did I say unpacking??? I am also a little under the weather. Being East of the Mississppi again is not going well. I have a touch of Bronchitis and my sinuses are plugged. (YUM!)

Anyway, I hope you have a restful Sunday!!

I AM BACK!!!!


We now have 100% e-mail and internet access!! I am so happy. Well, the first 2 months of school are almost over. I can't believe that the end of the 9 weeks is next Friday. Time has surely passed.

I have missed my online friends. Gareth, thank you for the card it was wonderful!!
Lil sis, congratulations on your full time internship and job offer!! Can we say big bucks now baby!! Zen, how are things going?? Ski- how is your school year going? I hope you are doing well. We are doing battle of the books. My kiddos really don't participate b/c the reading levels our librarian uses are too high for some of my kids!


Well, all I must continue unpacking. The boxes are getting to me and I want them all unpacked or put away! UGH! Have a great rest of the week!

HUGS!
