Okay folks... taking a cue from laura b. I have decided to do a choose and defend post.

Oregon Ducks

In the world of football, you have to admit that there are some real giggles in poses.

Which of these two football photos is the most fierce?
Can you guess who I pick... or remember if you have been following? Hope I didn't stack the deck too much. (giggle)




Oregon's Beavers




Well it was a typical Tuesday for me. They are not my best or my worst days of the week. They are pretty mild really. No class to read stories to, which is my favorite part of my work week. But then I got to catalog over 150 books into my system and get them ready for my sub to barcode, etc.



Got home and my Internet was flat line... the wireless card was accidentally knocked off by Loren when he was re-hooking up his computer to the line. I do not live well without my connection to the world. But Squeaky came home from the Bear's and fixed it. Yay! Thank goodness for live-in computer geeks.


I am currently engaged in a kitchen war... cooking and baking. Turkey enchiladas, Spanish rice, macaroons, and chocolate haystacks.
Hey... when I get going, I go. One pan of enchiladas and the rice go to the Duck game day. So does the fresh salsa I'll make tomorrow. All that along with the macaroons and haystacks go to the civil war with me.


Tomorrow I also get my studs put on my hubs. The time has come. It is so cold out that it would snow if there was moisture. I expect to see it on the top of the gorge cliffs above me tomorrow morning.
It is always beautiful.
Perfect for the holiday season... but could also signal an
end to trips south. I am the world's biggest chicken on the road,
though I do not mind cruising around town when it's
3 feet deep. One of the few.


The pond is quiet. But its early yet.
I did get a nice text on my phone from Frog D that
I pulted. He would like to keep communicating and remain friends.
I am not so sure about that.
So I told him that I was overwhelmed at this point.
I felt a bit like a creep.
So it goes.



I intended to have the lights begun tonight, but
cleverly forgot to charge my battery. Tomorrow then.



I am excited about the coming game. I am not generally a football fanatic, but have been having a blast with this year's
teams. When I was growing up my brother played and
I never missed his games. Got to see him get seriously injured too and that took a great deal of fun out of it for me.
I think my entire family made it out on the field before the
coach got to him.
He recovered to be picked up on a college team on a scholarship.
But you could see that his heart for it had left.
The following year his scholarship changed to academic.
Not a bad thing. His education has served him very well.


I have to have my big toe nail removed. Dropped a can of soup on the poor thing and turned it an ugly black...
infection under it.
Being diabetic causes them stress over any infection.
It will be sore and gooey. Fun stuffs!
Fortunately I don't care much about pain. I have a nice high threshold to it and expect to be rosey in no time at all.
The lure of pain pills is like a shiny object. Ha!
Hey... I am what I am.
And a buzzzzzz is a buzzzzzzzzzz.
Legal is good but I have become a real lightweight over the passing years.
Down to being giggly and not much beyond.


Well Dexter is calling to me from the other room.
Deer hunter is online too.
The frogs have begun to croak.
This time tomorrow I will be pacing like a cougar in a small cage.
The following day I will be doing my toe thing and hitting the road.
Pain pills will have to wait until I land.
Hope I can drive okay.
Thank goodness for cruise control and boundless determination... and that high pain threshold.
There's always crying and driving.
Kind of good at that too.



When I am there this time I will post!
A first for me. I'll have the run of the house and a computer to use.
Chores too... toe willing.
Kindness must always be repaid... and a good house guest pitches in.
I am good at many things.
BIG GRINS!
ENJOY.
