Rant/Rave: It's Friday and I'm here

Rant: Still haven't heard from job interview from 2 weeks ago. I didn't think I was the best candidate, but would you let me know? Please

Rave: Applied for more jobs and one is an excellent match to my skills. Mini-rant: would involve moving, but I could remain 'nc'grrl.

Rant/Rave: weather: Sunny and 70 earlier this week, down into the teens tonight and rain starting Sunday.

Rave: the daffodils are starting to bloom.

Rave: Spending time with friends over the weekend.

Anonymous, I think lcuy's daughter is a senior, has already applied to a bunch of schools and is just waiting to hear. So lcuy's right, it's silly for her to go now to look at schools she may not get into. And, from solid experience, let me say that it's really important that her daughter visit the schools during their "prospective freshman weekends" because it's only then that the reality of what it will be like can come "home" to her. For one thing, she'll be surrounded by other kids who may actually be classmates or even dorm-mates. Stand your ground, lcuy!! (Probably the last time you'll really be able to, too ;-) )

Raves: Sun coming up earlier, birds getting energized, planning Italy trip, no more workmen tramping through the house to fix up a bathroom, no more waiting for workmen who don't show up to fix up the bathroom.

Rant: Mother in hospital for pneumonia <-> Rave: she's doing fine.

Rant: I actually watching the Amazing Race's most obnoxious couple "explain" to Dr. Phil that they're really nice people. ARRRRRRGHHHHHH!

Rave: Duke lost again!!!!!
Go Hokies!!

Jor, you are 100% correct about Iran.

Rant: A poll released last week showed that only 40% of those polled knew the lost lives in Iraq were in the 1400-1500 range. Some even thought it wass below 200. No wonder he got reelected.

Rave: My Gamecocks upset #3 Kentucky!

Rave: Bonnie's 37th pound! Time to start getting in the gym and lifting weights Bonnie! Weightlifting will reshape your body.

Rant: Having to cancel trip to Palm Beach the first weekend of March and missing the South Florida get together. My friend backed out on me, Mr.GoTravel can't go, and I don't feel like making that drive by myself.

Rant: Smashers stupid advertising posts about some free online journal all over fodors.

Rave: Maryland beat Duke

Rant: But then they lost their next game.

Rave: I am moving to the UK in three weeks.

Rant: I have to pack up my entire house, and get rid of about 90% of it.
Rant: I will miss watching ACC basketball!

Happy Friday!

Rave: Drove my "new" Volvo to work today! Anybody who calls me soccer-mom gets run over!

Rave/Rant: DH left for Germany last night for work. He'll be back on Tuesday (our anniversary) but I'm missing him 'til then.

Rave: Headding into NYC tomorrow to check out The Gates for myself and hit a Museum & lunch with a friend. Mini-Rant- it's going to be in the 30's and windy. Brrr...

Rave: Re-committed to fitness this week by challenging good friend to 6 month contest to "find our 18 year old abs". Mine hurt already. I've got some work to do!

Rave: Early anticipation for the NJ/NY GTG on May 21st! Can't wait!

Happy Friday Everyone! Trish

Rant: For those interested in Bugs' extreme makeover http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6989380/

Rave: Getting my annual bonus today...going straight to my Scotland fund. YAY!!

memejw, thanks for the link. I hadn't seen that. What in the world have they done to our bugs!

Rant: The same as kcapuani...both Erie County and the City of Buffalo are heading down the road to financial disaster. Buffalo has a control board, and the county legislature had to have mediators come in and help.
But kcapuani, although I'm sorry about the parks, there is no way I want to pay another penny in taxes.

Rave: Monday is a paid holiday!

Rant: The class punk gave my son a hard time yesterday and as a result, the punk got suspended!

Rave: Son's school took immediate action with said punk.

My first rant/rave, so be gentle with me:

Rant: Rain, rain rain. Ruins plans to run off to Santa Barbara with my visiting parents, who lived there 50-plus years ago. Slows down our house construction. We've had enough!

Rave: Angels baseball players have reported for duty!

memejw
Yes, thanks for the Bugs link. Sad news for Bugs and five of his Looney Tunes friends.

RAVE: It's friday. I needed Friday so badly this week!

RAVE: Cool weather, but not too cold.

RAVE: Baby boy took his first steps this week! (Thanks to all of you who wished him happy birthday last week. That really was so kind.)

RAVE: Our best friends are in NYC this weekend...we helped them plan their trip. We know they are having a fabulous time.

RANT: We couldn't go with them!

RANT/RAVE: One of my support group members had a recurrence of her ovarian cancer this week -- BUT the surgery yesterday went much, much better than anticipated. Many more years were added to her prognosis.

rant: kitty gets his shots tomorrow! who will cry more, me or him?

Rave--Had a great snowshoeing trip last weekend! Got lots of snow while we were out so lots of fun playing in it. We especially appreciated it since our snowpack is extremely low this year.

Rave--No sick kids this week.

Rave--No rants.

Rave: Spring training about to start.

Rant: The NY tabloids and their insatiable desire to take the fun out of the start of the baseball season with their need to create controversy.

Rant: The Founding Father's must have felt pretty strongly about a free press if they put it at the top of the list. Despite the importance of that instution that so many are willing to justify outright manipulation of one of our basic rights as Americans is troubling. I guess when it comes to the issues of right and wrong, both sides are more willing to look at things as a question of "right and left."

Amazingly enough, no rants.

Rave: A nice, long relaxing weekend in Philly visiting some good friends.

Rave: NO work this weekend!!

Rave: Delta's fares to the west coast ... can you believe $200!

Rant: Airlines losing money cut fares! I'm ready to pay more to keep you flying.

Hey all! It's been a while because I've been way too busy!!!

Rave: Things are going well here at Harley Davidson.

Rave: I get to learn some new programs while working here.

Rave: Valentines Day went as planned including an impromptu trip to CT.

Rant: The ever changing weather here in NY!!!

Rave: I just found out I will be an aunt again. It will be my brother's first child and my SIL is due in October.

Rave: I love my life and everything in it...now it's time to lose some weight!!

Rave: Just joined the NYSC by my house. Can you say kickboxing classes?

Everyone have a great weekend!!!
