Planning for the elimination diet I’m starting… now. Half dozen years since I’ve had to do this. Wouldn’t mind waiting half dozen more.
At Fogo de Chao Brazilian restaurant on the Riverwalk. Discussing lit and education with Ricky. Coming back to life.
Looking at Thinkfinity.org. Great lesson plans here. So why do I keep reinventing the wheel?

Today’s lesson: allergies, itchy eyes, & runny noses are never good; but some drippy-nose moments are definitely more inopportune than others.
Just saw a John & Stacey Eldridge DVD clip. It’s always amazing how sometimes you know just what an author’s like from his books. This is not one of those times.
Two days at a swim meet. One day showing chickens. Not even done with lesson plans & grades. I want my weekend!
Van full of chickens. Battery just died. Nice.
Okay, we haven’t even shown the chickens yet, & my allergies/asthma are complaining loudly. I’m allergic to pretty much everything, & here I am in a show barn full of pine shavings, feathers, & fur.
Can’t believe I’m saying this: At Gerlach showing Dery’s chickens. Didn’t know I had to hold em upside down. Pls pray I don’t get pooped on!
Entry fees $100, Gear $80, Gas $30, Concessions $25, Hotel $125, Mr Gatti’s $20… Being there to celebrate with her: priceless.
I found it! I found it! (You may return to your regularly scheduled program now.)
Sitting in Gatti Land watching a commercial for Chuck E Cheeze’s on big screen.
Emergency! SOS! Mayday! I forgot my netbook charger!
Yay, Sharks! We’re the Bad News Bears of swimming, but we’re in 3rd place after day one. Hannah won 4 medals & team swimmer.
Up at 4:30 to drive to Hannah’s out-of-town swim meet. Settled in for a long two days on unforgiving concrete bleachers.
Hmmm. Don’t remember telling Brightkite to post my location to Twitter & FB. The thing about social sites is all of your goofs are public.
What if there were no hypothetical questions?
I’m sad. Tomorrow will be a new day, but tonight I’m just sad.
Tonight CNBC airs a spot on Behcet’s, the mysterious disease that affects my family. Pls tune in: 9:56 CT (could be up to an hr off). Pls RT

Also thankful that @USAA has such great service & fixed my locked-my-keys-in-the-car problem for me.
Arrrgghhh! Locked my keys in the car. Well, at least I’m thankful-so thankful!- it’s not raining anymore.
I wonder if they’ve ever cancelled school due to rain. Hmmm….
Now I need to eat. And sleep. Preferably in that order.
Still haven’t had dinner! Sitting at a vet-in-a-box with my possibly allergic 1yo St Bernard who just got a steroid shot in the butt.
It’s 6:30. I have to be back here at 7:30 tomorrow. Maybe I should go home now.
I should be asleep, but I’m too busy linking my BlackBerry contacts with Facebook profiles. Don’t be too quick to mock me. It’s a kind world where one is so easily entertained.
Hafta go in early to catch up on lesson plans, prep, & grading. Didn’t bring that stuff home Friday because, well, I was home sick Friday.
Who knew border collies naturally protect chickens? Any guesses what happens when the not-a-border-collie is left alone with the chickens? This is becoming ridiculous.
Have pressed snooze four times now. Nope, morning isn’t going to go away. Gonna hafta give in and get up now.
Don’t believe in miracles? I just came home to find all 4 dogs left alone with the chickens. Head count done. All are alive!
Don’t believe in miracles? I came home to find all 4 dogs left alone w the chickens.
Maybe if I dress the part, everyone will think I’m ready for this. …or maybe if I crawl back under the covers, no one will notice.
Finally saw _Blind Side_ last night. Every bit as good as expected.
Really should stop being such a hermit! Thanks for a great nite out, girls.
Going to go visit with Jessica. Man, it’s been a while.
Happy New Year! (I am so going to sleep now. Yes, I am old.)
