- Why are you making such a big fuss? Please calm down.
- I want you to take a step back and ask yourself, do I actually need help with this, or am I simply feeling lazy.
- What I’d like to say when people ask me to do favors for them: Maybe, and then it will be on my terms.
- I hope to make significant inroads reading the Access 2007 book today and see what happens.
- I could use a margarita or two.
- I uninstalled and reinstalled doors on my Ikea shelving last night and then I did it all over again, because I’d done it wrong.
- And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to not having class (because it’s over), tomorrow my plans include painting a square of primer on the bedroom wall and putting two smaller squares of sample colors on it and Sunday, I want to feel zen in my office (I’m working on cleaning, purging, organizing, etc)!
- What’s your favorite magazine? Ever? I’m not sure, but I do enjoy Real Simple for it’s practicality and usability.
- What book are you currently reading? The Girl Who Heard Dragons, which is a collection of short stories by Anne McCaffrey. Unfortunately, while all the stories have been enjoyable, only one has been part of the Pern series she wrote (that I’ve been reading for the last year).
- What’s the worst book you ever read? The Prince, by Niccolo Machiovelli. I didn’t finish it.
- What makes a book perfect for you? A story line that is engaging and entertaining, and likable characters.
- If you could buy any book right now, which one would it be? I’m looking for the last four from the Pern series that I haven’t read yet, so any of those would be nice (they haven’t been available at Half Price Books that last several times I looked).
- A cup of tea never seems as satisfying as it should.
- Something snuggle-worthy makes a place feel like home.
- Everything has its beauty if you look close enough.
- Don’t you miss the taste of strawberries? (Fresh ones, that is.)
- Art makes me feel insignificant.
- LOL I just noticed I forgot to bring a lunch today. (Not really. I didn’t bring a lunch, but I didn’t forget it. Too much stuff to carry with me as I trek across the cities to Minneapolis for class tonight. One strategically planned late lunch is on the menu – something satisfying that will last me until 8 pm.)
- And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to the end of a class (and the subsequent homework, which has not been bad, but it will be nice to be down to 2 classes for the rest of the semester), tomorrow my plans include writing lesson plans and buying paint and Sunday, I want to stitch up the muslin of my new dress!
- What is your favorite blanket like? I love a microfiber one that we got as a wedding present. It’s cuddly and squishy and keeps me warm.
- What was the last thing you baked? Bread, as mentioned last week. It was fab.
- What television personality gets you most hot and bothered? I have to pick just one? The short list of “who I’m sending to a deserted island with no way to ever again subject the public to their antics” includes Jesse (Ventura), Palin, and Mr. Hair (Blagoijovich, or however you spell his name). I might have to put Trump on the list just for casting Mr. Hair on Celebrity Apprentice this spring.
- When did you last burn yourself? I burned my tongue last weekend on hot cocoa.
- What are your feelings about hot sauce? With the right food, I could go for a little Tabasco (like on Chipotle), but in general I am not a lover of things that are too hot. Spicy is good, burning my tongue is bad.
- Pickles are highly revered in our house.
- I would like to be where my cold medication is: at home.
- The snow is getting a bit too high for my tastes.
- Where are we not spending time these days? Answer: in nature.
- It’s 5:16 PM; that means absolutely nothing – two or three days a week I’m on my way to class, some days I’m eating dinner or making dinner, and weekends are a free for all.
- Lunch is hard to find.
- And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to sleep, tomorrow my plans include sleep (did I mention that?) and homework and a trip to JoAnn (there’s a sale this weekend, you know) and Sunday, I want to not do a speck of homework (which, I think, can be arranged)!
- I know that I need a new pair of black dress shoes, but I really, really, really don’t like shopping for shoes. Do you think Clarks has something dressy enough? For a little black dress? For a wedding? Because I love me some Clarks. I wear them 5 days a week. Honestly.
- February is not the longest month. No matter how much people like to make that joke. I’m so over it. If you find yourself an appropriate activity, like, say, graduate school, you’ll find that time flies by, regardless of what month/season it is.
- You can’t help but laugh sometimes.
- Database redesign (again); bring it on! To be fair, the last time I redesigned it was 2003-ish.
- Where have you looked for assistance with this software problem? Nowhere? Try F1. All the answers are there. That’s where I’ll find the answer if you ask me. It’s not really magic. Promise.
- Position for a housekeeper who will come and vacuum twice a week is now available.
- And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to taking my little black bridesmaid dress out for a spin, tomorrow my plans include homework, homework, and, oh, some homework (also: vacuuming, and a haircut) and Sunday, I want to see at least one Facebook status that isn’t related to the Super Bowl!
- Wouldn’t it be easy to take a nap right now? Yes, yes it would.
- I really need a haircut so that I can look better than ever!
- I love the taste of full-fat, full-sugar creamer. This morning I ran out of mine and had to sub 1% milk in for the rest. It is not good.
- Sometimes I do my homework in the living room.
- The first thing we’re going to do is get red of the red paint. At least, that’s what I said when we moved into our house 9 months ago. The bedroom is still red. Blech.
- We don’t have any faucets that go drip, drip, drip; other than the occasional cold shower, the plumbing in our 55 year old house is in great shape.
- And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to the last glass of wine left in the bottle (that I opened yesterday, *ahem*), tomorrow my plans include going to Sam’s Club and maybe a quick search for a LBD and Sunday, I want to spend time playing the piano and not feel guilty about it (because I should be doing homework or cleaning)!
- You have a chance to do the right thing.
- I’d like to do some goofing around right now!
- There is a distinct possibility that I will not stay awake late enough to watch Conan’s final show – that’s what the DVR is for.
- It’s rarely worth it to buy now and pay later.
- It’s time to buckle down.
- Apparently my weekly quantity of homework is up in the air but I’m trying to cope with that (I have a professor who keeps adding new assignments each week – boo!).
- And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to getting a massage, tomorrow my plans include seeing
 and Sunday, I want to not find out the final Vikings score via Facebook (sometimes it’s nice getting news first, but other times it just ruins all the excitement)!
- There are places I’d rather be, places with beaches and shining sun and green stuff (I think it’s called grass).
- Don’t blow those clouds away. (They’re keeping all the warmth here – sunny days are the coldest!)
- Standing in the middle of the hallway having a ten minute conversation is no way to make friends.
- I priced out textbooks for this semester. The cost? “oh boy“.
- He went out tiger hunting and came back a vegetarian. (The most humane way I could think of to end that sentence.)
- While playing the piano, sometimes I have to work hard to keep my mind from wandering .
- And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to wrapping up a project I’ve been working on all week (pics soon!), tomorrow my plans include doing everything I want to before classes start (too ambitious? I’ll settle for having a clean house and getting my laundry done) and Sunday, I want to have an excellent Christmas get-together with AMANDA and LIZ!

- No, we will NOT be having an enjoyable day.
- We don’t have an at the old kitchen table.
- I watched the steam rising from the hot cup of coffee (or tea) and thought: wouldn’t it be nice to stay in bed, warm, snuggly, and relaxed?.
- People keep telling me it going to be okay. I’m hesitant to believe them.
- I’ll take one of everything, thanks.

- And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to congratulating on graduating (and welcoming her into a new decade of life), tomorrow my plans include making Christmas dinner and Sunday, I want to be done with Christmas shopping (too much to ask for?)!
- Good times: falling asleep in the glow of the fireplace.
- I love my home.
- Sleigh bells ring annoyingly when in the form of an anklet.
- I miss coffee just a little.
- Once more it’s cold at work. Even with long underwear and a sweater on, I’m considering ways to get warm.

 ’s birthday party and Sunday, I want to feel like the house is clean and organized, and get some work done on Christmas presents!

- You get multiple, but not unlimited, second chances. Something to keep in mind.
- I have the right to suggest you use the Help option before (or after, or instead) asking me how to do something.
- It’s peanut butter jelly time. (Sorry if that song is now stuck in your head.)
- Erroneously using “Reply All” is ridiculous!
- I feel more tired this week because I keep staying up later than I should.
- Crawling into a bed that has been pre-heated with the electric blanket makes me happy…goodnight!

 , tomorrow my plans include giving a presentation during the last class of the semester (yay!) and Sunday, I want to hang lights on the house without injuring anyone or freezing my fingers off (too much to ask?)!
