hi.

[progmom]

How is your day going?

[Richard Steele]

1. uneventful, so far.

[progmom]

6. better than many alternatives.

[Richard Steele]

24. That's very true. EXCITING is not always FUN.

[Fenris]

2. I got my Russian politics and government mid-term back.

13/13 on the indentification section. 20/20 on the essay section. That's 100%. It was a two day exam. Probably the hardest thing I've ever done. Plus it's 1/3 of my final grade. I'm happy. :):hi:

[progmom]

3. yay!!!!!!!

[bertha katzenengel]

11. Well done, Fenris

:woohoo:

:hug:

[Fenris]

18. Thank you, Bertha!

:hug:

[RevolutionaryActs]

47. Whoa dude.

What are you? Some kind of smarty-pants? :o

[Fenris]

56. Yes, and that picture is beyond disturbing.

:scared:

[flamingyouth]

58. I told you so!!!!

:loveya:

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. Meh. You?

[progmom]

9. there'a three year-old (mine) napping on my lap.

i couldn't be happier.

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. That's cool *g*

[JohnKleeb]

5. I dont know, thats the problem

[progmom]

12. .

:hug:

[JohnKleeb]

22. Thanks

Nothing is really getting me down but nothing really to feel either.

[bertha katzenengel]

7. Hi, Progmom.

Meh. My back's tight, my bank account's empty. How's by you? :hi:

[progmom]

17. the sun is shining

i got good news at work

my beautiful son is napping on my lap



does it get any better???

[bertha katzenengel]

wonderful, wonderful

No, I guess it doesn't. Mrs. V.'s working at home today w/ all the windows thrown open. She saw a mockingbird chasing a squirrel! She heard the first carolina wren, too: "tea kettle tea kettle tea kettle tea!" Sigh. :7

[CubsFan1982]

8. Could be worse.

I'll be happier if I win my race tonight! :D

[progmom]

19. good luck.

running?

[CubsFan1982]

29. In a manner of speaking.

I'm (half-heartedly) running for township board of trustees. I'll be surprised if I win, but it'll be a pleasant surprise. :D

[MissB]

10. okay.

I'm mellow, mostly. Surrounded by construction debris, but feel no real motivation to do anything about it.

[progmom]

21. you'll get there

:hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

14. It's fine.

Minus the pissiness in GD. I worked out... I'm in such bad shape ACK! x(

[progmom]

23. i've been working out for a month now

how is it that i feel even fatter???????????

[RevolutionaryActs]

34. You've built up muscle mass?

:shrug:

[Longgrain]

15. Great now that I'm home from work...

Beautiful weather lately, an all together decent day... :-)

[progmom]

25. glad to hear it longgrain

:hi:

[Longgrain]

48. Thanks, I gotta go now, I gotta go post some drawings

in the Artists Group, I think I might need to draw some life over there.

[Q3JR4]

16. Eh,

my car situation sucks, my money situation sucks, my living situation sucks, my laundry situation sucks.

Other than that, I can't complain.

:P

How's your day going?

[progmom]

26. i could use some help w/ laundry & money too

:pals:

[Q3JR4]

44. I do hear that,

:pals:

[ralps]

20. Hi progmom, My day's going pretty good

Yay!!!!!!!!!!! it's almost 70 degrees here. How are you doing? :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[progmom]

31. i'm great

the weather has me all happy. :woohoo:

[BurtWorm]

27. Mostly okay with some shockingly bad news thrown in here and there.

Nostamj's sudden illness and death really threw me. And then a sweetheart I work with was (expectedly) fired for being unproductive. I wonder if she posts on DU...

PS: How's yours?

[progmom]

32. i'm really bummed about nostamj

...and discouraged by all the fighting in the Lounge...

but otherwise i'm one happy progmom.

[steve2470]

28. going well, getting a lot done

wish I was cheerier though.

[progmom]

33. .

:hug:

[texas1928]

30. My nose is stopped up.

And I can not breath through it. but other than that, GREAT!!!

[progmom]

35. i hope you feel better soon.

:pals:

[texas1928]

38. Don't feel bad.

Just having allergies. Other than that I feel great. Hey even my arthritis is not bothering me.

[Jersey Devil]

36. I had a wedgie but now it's gone

Unfortunately I had to move though.

[progmom]

37. phew

i am glad you resolved that. :P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. Hi, progmom,

My day was going well; a good workout, but I can't lose any weight either! And then I thought I'd have a look at my inbox on my computer; and well...you know the rest...I need to pee, take my shower, and eat a late lunch, but I can't leave my computer yet...I must be crazy...So fucking sorrowful, and I have things to do besides the list above...but right now nothing matters but how I feel, and how everyone else is feeling...

:cry:

:hug:

[progmom]

40. .

:pals:

[GOPisEvil]

41. Hi there.

Good thanks, now that I'm home.

:hi:

[progmom]

43. me too

now i have to decide whether to wake up the kid or let him sleep.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

42. It was 66 degrees and SUNNY here!

I LOVE spring! :bounce:

[progmom]

46. 77 here.

:headbang:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

49. We're getting that tomorrow

[redqueen]

45. Hi!

My day's going very well, thanks. :)

How's yours?

[progmom]

51. Pretty great.

Sunshine makes everything seem better.

[RandomKoolzip]

50. Went to therapy, both my discman and my iPod's batteries went dead...

found out nostamj is dead, felt shitty, posted on Du, just took a shower, now I'll probably hang out here some more, then I'm going to band practice.

[progmom]

52. Oh noooooooooo!

How long have you had your iPod?
Dead as in you can't recharge it anymore?

x(

I hope your day goes better.

[RandomKoolzip]

53. Nah, it just needs to be recharged.

But it made my train ride a little less pleasant. You know when you're stuck sitting next to an audible breather? I hate that. I always carry a persoanl stereo device to ensure I never have to endure the sound of a snot-whistler or a mouth breather.

Plus, nostamj died. THAT'S a bummer.

[progmom]

54. Indeed. I am terribly sad about nostamj.

:cry:

[datasuspect]

55. smooch!

[progmom]

59. Hey baby!

Glad to see you. :loveya:

[bridgit]

57. bon jour...

doing fine, have a 10day vaca day after tomorrow = hard to get us down, therefore, here's a y'oke to bolster the point:

A 6-year-old and a 4-year-old are upstairs in their bedroom...

"You know what?" Says the 6 year old, "I think it's about time we started cussing." The 4-year-old nods his head in approval. The 6-year-old continues, "When we go downstairs for breakfast, I'm gonna say something with 'hell' and you say something with 'ass'." The 4-year-old agrees with enthusiasm.

When the mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 6-year-old what he wants for breakfast, he replies,

"Aw, hell, Mom, I guess I'll have some Cheerios."

WHACK! He flies out of his chair, tumbles across the kitchen floor, gets up, and runs upstairs crying his eyes out, with his mother in hot pursuit, slapping his rear with every step. His Mom locks him in his room and shouts,

"You can stay there until I let you out!" She then comes back downstairs, looks at the 4-year-old and asks with a stern voice, "And what do YOU want for breakfast, little man?"

"I don't know." He blubbers, "But you can bet your fat ass it won't be Cheerios!"

[progmom]

60. hee hee

You doing anything exciting for your vaca?

[bridgit]

71. hey there, progmom

i mystery shop as well...worked up a boat load of free stuff from 'the city' to vegas and in between. did you check that: bola sete/carnival piece @ monterey jizz fest? its a good piece with a great audience response. love jazz when its live imo

:hi:

[progmom]

75. i have that bola set record, i think

i haven't dug it out yet. he's great. do you have the record he did w/ vince guaraldi?

another record with great audience response - ever check out Ellington Live at Newport? the crowd goes apeshit over Diminuendo In Blue And Crescendo In Blue. amazing stuff.

[bridgit]

77. ellington is like watching the statue of liberty take the stage...

there's so much good stuff out there; rashaan roland kirk live comes to mind for some reason; hubby seen miles @ 'shelly's manhole' many years back, 68', bitches brew stuff; still mentions it as thee most electric performance he's ever witness in close proximity...shelly's was a small club by comparison

[auntAgonist]

61. hi Progmom

I think i'm having a crappy day :( I NEED some energy and some pick me up good thoughts. i think i'm going through post op depression or something .. it sux.
i just want to be 'me' again, and i have to go back to work on the 26th, will i ever make it?

[progmom]

64. You will make it.

You are a very strong woman.
Major surgery is draining, both physically and emotionally. Try not to hold yourself to too high of a standard right away, ok?
Do you have someone there with you? Someone you can talk to about this?

[auntAgonist]

68. my husband

will be home in 2 hours from work, He's been so good through this. i'm just having waves of up and down y'know?
i'll be ok, i know this .. i think i'm just tired and sore and weak ..
i should be thankful that i came tthrough surgery with no complications and quit feeling sorry for mysilf.

[progmom]

69. hey now

There's that holding yourself to too high of a standard thing again. You can feel sorry for yourself. It's ok. You just had really major, scary surgery, and you still hurt like heck, right?

I don't know how far away I am from you (I'm in Ann Arbor) - is there anything I can do for you?

[auntAgonist]

72. You are so kind

We're a little ways apart i'm just a tad west of Jackson. I will be fine, just having you answer my post is help enough. You're right i have been through something big and i just need some time, i suspect this is normal and it will pass. thank you for being you Progmom.

:hug:

[progmom]

74. shucks auntAgonist...

I know how tough recovery from my c-section was - and that's nothing like what you just went through!

:hug:

[Dastard Stepchild]

62. Excellent.

I just learned that I was awarded a $5000 research fellowship through my university. It's been a unique day. :)

:thumbsup:

[progmom]

65. Yay!!!!!

That is wonderful :toast:

I got an unexpected bonus at work, and Bok Tukalo was surprised by some $$ today too. Yay us!!

[Dastard Stepchild]

67. Congrats back at you!

Bonuses and unexpected sums of money are a very good thing! :)

[EstimatedProphet]

63. Good. I made a good deal on some gold coins on Ebay

Bought 3 Mexican Liberdads-gold melt value of $527-for $520 each, including shipping.
I.E. less than markup price, with free shipping. I can almost certainly turn 2 of them around for $75-100 once I get them.

[progmom]

66. Yay!

Good for you! I never make smart purchases on ebay...

[EstimatedProphet]

73. And it's really hard to do anymore on gold bullion

There's so many people on Ebay anymore that it's overrun, and everything gets overbid in the coin section. I was really surprised to see this auction-must have been lucky enough to be the first person to see it.

[DistressedAmerican]

70. Started Bad. Chatted With You About Nelson Mandela's Book

Posted some cute photos of my new baby girl, cheered up.;-)

Started an ask me anything thread and tried to man it between the little one's every brief naps. chatted about daddy hood, archaeology, pottery. Baby cried quite a bit this afternoon which is unusual. Slightly frustrated.;(

Heard about nostamj leaving us and was bummed out but, cheered by the long list of remembrances. :grouphug: Best Wishes buddy.:pals:

My wife got home and gave me a break. Caught a second wind and cheered up. Visited a friend. cheered up more.:-)

Found your thread. Smiled and am replying. Thanks. You've been doing good for my GD and GDP weary brain.O8)

Cheerful and about to watch some John Stewart. Baby due to be asleep soon.:boring:

What a day. :freak: Thanks for asking. How was yours?

[progmom]

76. Your new baby girl is adorable!!!!!!

I'm looking forward to reading the Mandela bio. Right now I am re-reading On The Road. :)

[rbnyc]

78. My cousin died.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x2994590

And I'm in shock about Nostamj too. And I should go to bed soon, I think, but I'm not sleeping very well these days.

:(

[progmom]

79. I'm really really sorry about your cousin.

:hug:
You'll be in my thoughts.

[miss_kitty]

80. fine

I went to my database class today. The traffic sucked getting there, but I'm taking it online. It was an orientation. I think I'm gonna like it.

[progmom]

81. That's great!

I was a little confused at first...why was the traffic bad for an online class? :shrug: I got it now.

:hi: Nice to see you tonight.

[miss_kitty]

82. he just wanted to make sure we 'got it'

you know, zipping files, compacting too. He is going to be sailing in Alaska and will be downloading our assignments via satellite phone. He wanted to make sure we'd make them teeny!
