What a day, what a day, friends. I donated blood this morning to the wonderful Red Cross, and they told me no exercise for 6 hours. I'm brilliant. I went to physical therapy for my knee today (not connecting this with exercise!) at 4 (5 hours later) and came damn close to passing out in the gym. THEN because that's not enough....we had 2 softball games tonight. We won the first but lost the championship game. UGH UGH UGH!! I didn't even play the field I was so tired from my blood loss.
So now I must go to bed. I'm coming home to TN tomorrow. Ready to get out of dodge.
Have I mentioned yet I HATE losing???????

Howdy-
Hey Everyone-
Nothing new to report here. It's Weds night and I have two sleeping dogs, and a quiet RMHouse. My favorite family in the world is here this week so it's been good to see them each night. The kid's getting outpatient chemo so she's tired/not feeling well. Kills me to watch.
Other than that, not much news. We play for the championship tomorrow night in softball, and again next Tuesday in that league. Hopefully we'll have 2 big trophies at the end of it all. I love it.
I'm heading home Friday to see the kids, watch my goofy nephew's football game, though he's just a freshman and may not get to play, and then go to UT's game with him and two other friends Saturday. Hopefully the Green Hornet will make it to Mom's Friday, and back to WS Sunday! If not, I'm calling whoever of you is the closest to where Watson and I are stuck. Yea, Peanut's getting left behind...she freaks at Mom's because of her hardwoods, and with the chance of the car not cooperating, I'd rather just have one dog to deal with!!! But Peanut is going to hang out with Erin, the dog-child of my friends Tara and Paul. She'll be loved on while I'm gone!
So with that I say goodnight. Talk to you later.

Today's Goal
Alright Friends,
At 3:30, my beloved but struggling Vols will be playing Georgia. While still hoping for the best, I must post for the world to see my simple goals.
1. Score once
2. Hold the Dawgs to 6 or less touchdowns.
GO VOLS!

The Green Hornet
Hey Friends!
Say a little prayer tonight/tomorrow for my Green Hornet (seen in the background behind the pooches). The Suburdoobie is having some difficulties running right now. I am stinkin stressed about this too because I'm not really rolling in the dough at this point....UGH. This is the part of being a grown up that I really really really don't like. :(
Hope you are all doing well.

A bird in the hand...or was it a waterfall???
So friends and family..
Here's a funny from tonight...I sent the email below to the RMH staff. Nancy is a super-sweet lady who works here in developement. She's starting our luminary campaign...see below...y email was titled "Workplace hazard we all need to know about!"
my email:
Her name is Nancy. She's our new workplace hazard. She presents as thisvery sweet, mild mannered lady, but she's not to be trusted! :) Sarah asked me today to walk around the House tonight after dark andcheck lights, so around 8:30 I was in the meditation garden, walkingthrough. I hear this loud, rustling noise, and I thought a bird wasflying out of the bush at first, so I ducked my head and turned around.Then it hit me! Cold, cold water. Bone chillin, breath taking coldwater. I caught my breath and realized I was doused on part of my headand all down my back!!!! My first thought was 'if that was spoiled icetea or old mop water I'm gonna be grossed out!!" I came in and changed to dry clothes and went back upstairs. Nancy wasin the hallway leaving, and I asked if she had just tossed some waterout the kitchen. Her chin dropped and she said 'You weren't down therewere you?" Uhm.. yes. I was. She had ice water out for her luminaryladies to drink, and she didn't want to waste it when they left, so shewas 'watering the bush.' I'M NOT A BUSH!! :)We laughed and laughed in the hallway. This was just a moment of perfecttiming and perfect delivery. But Nancy, if you're wanting to water thebush, you're over-throwing it almost a foot! Throw with less velocitynext time! Sarah, the paper map was soaked so I left it on your desk todry...I didn't get to write my notes, but none of the little lights inthe ground were working. Ahhh..the glamorous life of a Night Manager.....at least I had justgotten home from volleyball and hadn't showered yet! :)

3 random thoughts...
Hello all..here are my feeble thoughts tonight.....
1. No one really reads this blog. But it's very fun for me to get to post/write. So there.
2. Wow- a commanding 13-9 win by UT over Northern Illinois. COME ON!! We used to play football in Tennessee!!!!
3. Why, oh why, did Peanut take the cricket under my bed after she ripped one leg off????? Now I have visions of a lame cricket hobbling it's way up my bedframe, beggin for mercy, wishin for one more day with it's little crick-lets. UGH! But now I must go move the bed and de-cricket my bedroom. I live SUCH the glamourous life!
Til next time...

Happy Friday!!!
Hey all,
I heard from the vet yesterday about Watson's tumor. The news is good. It was indeed a Stage 2 Mast Cell tumor, but the somethin-somethin-somethin index was very low, which is EXCELLENT!! I just have to watch him for new tumors, etc. No selling of my kidney/ovaries to fund chemo for my boy!!!
He's been a champ this week. After the first day, he hasn't really messed with his stitches or tried to do too much, but he's been playful and walking like a fool when we go outside! So all is well. I'm happy. He feels good. Peanut is neurotic as ever. That's the life for the Crazy Dog Lady!
So have a fantistic weekend. Enjoy the cool temps and sunshine! I know I will!!!
