Please say a little prayer for my cousin Suzanne and her five year old daughter Michelle. Michelle was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia last spring, and she's going in for her marrow transplant today. Both have been really strong through all this.

A cheat. I have to GIVE an inservice today, on computer programs we're using in the district. Gulp!

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up.
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14. (HA! Not me!)

16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM

20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
