I'm going to North Carolina!
Why, you may ask?
Well, it starts with my best friend, who's stationed at Seymour Johnson AFB in Goldsboro, NC. This is, by the way, the town where Andy Griffith taught high school, and apparently could be the town that inspired Mayberry (which is why I never really worry about him getting into too much trouble.
The aforementioned friend will soon be shipping out to "the desert" for an unspecified amount of time. Actually, it probably is specified, but last time he went, they "specified" three months and it ended up being six, so take that as you wish.
On the phone the other night, I said "that's not cool; I wish I could fly out there to see you before you go," and he said "Seriously, Tiff, if you can figure out how to get here, I'll split the cost of the trip with you."
Baroo?
Never one to back away from a (not really spoken or implied but I'm treating it that way anyway) challenge, I hopped on the 'net & found a great deal on Expedia.com. I managed to change my schedule at my grown-up job so I'm off Friday the 14th through Monday the 17th WITHOUT taking any vacation time; and one of the wonderful folks I work with at the Zoo offered to take the overnight shift I had for that weekend. SWEET!
So, booked the flight, booked the rental car -- we are at t-minus 17 days and counting, yay!
And as an added bonus, my grandmother's brothers live about an hour from Goldsboro, so I'll be making a trip down to see them on Saturday or Sunday. Yay family!
Again, I'm SO psyched, I'm practically speechless -- and for me, that takes a lot!
*on another note, grandpa is doing better; the docs are slowly but surely weaning him off medications & machines; he's coherent & responsive, so thanks for the good thoughts, keep sending them our way!
Cheers!

A Few Bits of Randomness
Well, I got back safely, whoo hoo!
Grandpa's in the hospital, he had his 3rd open heart surgery last Tuesday, while I was stuck in Hurley. Things were okay, then Friday they were really not okay & we thought we were going to lose him; but we didn't. His vitals are a bit better & he's now stable -- critical, but stable. So send good thoughts our way.
I did a whole lot of nothin' this weekend, except homework. Yay.
I'm dog-sitting Friday. "Murphy" is an 11-month old maltese/poodle mix, lovingly referred to as a "maltepoo" (long "e" sound there).
More homework this weekend. Yay.
My little brother's b-day is today, he's . . . 21. Anyone who's known him for a long time may now commence feeling old.
Out of nowhere, I got an email from a long-lost friend. Welcome back to the world, B!
Last but not least, I have a dinner date Friday. Whoo hoo, I'm trying to have a social life!

Home Sweet Home
Well, after being snowed in Monday, I attempted to leave Northern Wisconsin on Tuesday morning -- no prob, the snow had stopped, sun was out, main road in town was pretty cleared, I was on my way . . .
I got about 20 miles out of town, the snow picked up, road was covered in packed snow, and I did a 180* in my Ranger. I was quite happy to stay ON the road, thanks, and that the two big trucks coming from either direction saw fit to avoid squishing me. I pressed on to the next town (because it was closer than where I'd come from), & checked into the Days Inn in Hurley, WI at like 10am. I watched cable, watched the snow, took a nap, watched the snow, did homework, watched the snow . . . are you seeing a trend here? Bonus: shortly before the Truck Ice Capades, I saw a bald eagle flying above the trees that line the side of the road. Awesome.
By 8:00am Wednesday, the storm front was gone, the roads were cleared, and I headed home -- this just meant that I had to drive the whole 10-hr stretch in one day. Not my preferred method, especially by myself, but it was a beautiful day & I enjoyed the trip.
I hope everyone else's weekend/start to the week went well!

Snowed In!
Well, looks like no whirlpool suite for me! The snow started about 2am (or so I've been told), & it's still falling. There's probably 6-8 inches on the ground, it's still falling, and it's drifting! I've moved to a different res hall so as to spread the "Tiffany presence" around! Saw various professors that all miss me terribly (as well they should) & a lot of other folks that are still up here.
From the National Weather Service:
Well, since classes are cancelled (do you know what it takes to cancel classes in Northern Wisconsin?!?), everyone is off & hanging out. I have to get started on some of my (blech) homework for Financial Management. Ta ta for now!
From the National Weather Service:
THE WINTER STORM WARNING IS NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT CST TONIGHT.
HEAVY SNOWFALL WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MOST AREAS ARE REPORTING SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 7 TO 8 INCHES AT THIS TIME... HOWEVER A SNOW ACCUMULATION OF AROUND 14 INCHES HAS BEEN REPORTED NEAR GLIDDEN. AN ADDITIONAL 5 TO 9 INCHES OF SNOW IS EXPECTED THROUGH THIS EVENING. STORM TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS WILL RANGE FROM 13 TO 18 INCHES...WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS ALONG THE SNOW BELT.
STRONG WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS WILL ALSO CAUSE AREAS OF CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. VISIBILITIES WILL BE DRASTICALLY REDUCED TO NEAR ZERO IN OPEN AREAS... AND SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN ON ROADS.
TRAVEL WILL CONTINUE TO BE VERY DANGEROUS OR IMPOSSIBLE ACROSS ALL OF NORTHWEST WISCONSIN TODAY. THE COUNTY SHERIFFS IN WASHBURN AND ASHLAND COUNTIES HAVE CLOSED ROADWAYS. SNOW PLOWS ARE NOT ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE HEAVY SNOW BECAUSE OF THE NEAR ZERO VISIBILITIES.
A WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW...WITH BLOWING AND DRIFTING ARE EXPECTED. THIS WILL MAKE TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS OR IMPOSSIBLE.
Well, since classes are cancelled (do you know what it takes to cancel classes in Northern Wisconsin?!?), everyone is off & hanging out. I have to get started on some of my (blech) homework for Financial Management. Ta ta for now!

Day 3 - the Day After
Greetings from the North Country, where we have a Winter Weather Advisory -- according to the National Weather Service, we may get 4-6 inches of snow tonight, yay!
I got in to Ashland about 730 last night (after adding two more states and a handful of LIVE deer to my count), took a quick shower, then walked to the Deepwater with Dan, Travis & Dana, & met up with April, Bruce, Dusty, Molly, Tex, EJ . . . we played pool for at least four hours. Dan took pics, which can be seen here, despite the misspelling of my last name. More pics to come, since we're off to the Deepwater again tonight (hey, when you're in Ashland and want food & ambience (or ambiance if you prefer), you're limited on your options) -- we have more than $25 in quarters, and at $0.75/game, we're set for hours.
Slept in until about 1030, had brunch in the cafeteria (who'd have thought I'd ever do that again?), stopped to see cool Psychology professor Paul Norris, played on the computer a bit, then the boys gave me a lesson in bocce ball (pics here), followed by a trip to McDonald's (yes I splurged) because the guys said "we're not going out until 6? we're going to need to eat before then." Now we're chilling out in Dan's room, I booked a posh hotel room in Stevens Point for tomorrow night's trip home (last night of vacation, all to myself, I splurged on the whirlpool suite 'cuz I got a GREAT deal on it!).
More later, adios!
**As of 10:45, no snow, but up here that doesn't really mean anything.

Off I Go!
Made it safe to WI, met up with Maria & Justin, who's still obnoxious as hell but we love him anyway, I think . . .
Saw license plates from 15 states, about a dozen hawks, two wild turkeys & some not-quite-alive deer.
Tonight, it's off to the piano bar; tomorrow it's off to Ashland -- it looks like I'll once again be celebrating my birthday at the Deepwater Grille!

Happy Birthday to Me!
*Note to the reader: I'm posting this early because I'm not sure if I'll have blogger access on my trip.
24 years ago, somewhere between 9 & 10am on March 11th, 1982, I entered the world at St. Mary's Hospital in St. Louis, MO. As I declare my birthday an official holiday, here are a few other cool things that happened on March 11th:
1818: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is published. 1861: The Confederate States of America adopted its constitution. 1888: A torrential rainstorm hit the East Coast. The rain turned to snow the next day and it became the Blizzard of 1888, the most famous snowstorm in American history. It caused more than 400 deaths. (not cool, but definitely cold) 1930: William Howard Taft became the first U.S. president to be buried in the National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. 1941: President Roosevelt signs the Lend-Lease Bill. 1942: General Douglas MacArthur leaves the Philippines saying, "I shall return." 1985: Mikhail Gorbachev became head of the Soviet Union following the death of Konstantin Chernenko. At 54, he was the youngest member of the ruling Politburo. 1990: Augusto Pinochet of Chile, dictator since 1973, steps down.
1990: A newly elected parliament in Lithuania declared its independence from the Soviet Union. 1993: Janet Reno won unanimous Senate confirmation to be the first female U.S. Attorney General.
Just a few famous people born on my birthday:
Douglas Adams (1952) -- the answer is...42.
Bobby McFerrin (1950) -- Don't worry, be happy.
Sam Donaldson (1934) -- Hold on, Mr. President!
Everyone should now celebrate!

Get Your Science Right
While driving to work this morning, I saw a bumper sticker that said "Darwin was wrong because; fish don't walk & Jesus is still alive."
Aside from the questionable punctuation & the fact that I don't remember Darwin saying ANYTHING about Jesus, this is right up there with the "If we evolved from monkeys, then why are there still monkeys?" folks*.
So, for the "fish don't walk" people, I dug up some pictures:
If "fish can't walk," & these little guys aren't swimming -- what are they doing? Hmm....
Besides, if an octopus can do it, why not a fish?
*For the record if you haven't already heard, we didn't evolve FROM monkeys, we have a common ancestor that we share WITH the other primates. You have three types of teeth, opposable thumbs, short snout, comparably large brain, no tail -- you are an ape, accept it. Per the Saint Louis Zoo, "Chimps are our closest living relatives. In fact, we share 98.4% of our DNA with chimps." Say hello to your very distant cousin:

Headline Review
Happy Saturday!
It is officially one week until my birthday, and where am I? That's right, at work! I'm chilling out at my grown-up job & while enjoying my grilled cheese sammich (my guilty pleasure when I have to work weekends, the cafeteria makes a great grilled cheese!), I was browsing the news pages. There have been a variety of good articles on various subjects the past week or so, so I thought I'd share a few that caught my eye:
Things that worry me:
(1) South Dakota's attempted total ban on abortion -- please, take my rights, it's not like I'm using them.
(2) The Supreme Court reviewing a total ban on late-term abortion, because the ban in question does "not include an exception for cases where the health of the mother might be at risk."
(3) The proposed Missouri House resolution that states that "voluntary prayer in public schools, religious displays on public property, and the recognition of a Christian God are not a coalition of church and state." Because if it's not, I'm not sure what is.
(4)Any city government (or any government at all, for that matter), who thinks they have the right to decide what constitutes a family. It would seem that the aforementioned ordinance, in addition to affecting the folks mentioned in the story, would also prevent gay couples from raising children in the city. Hmmm. I'll have to agree with this column, the answer to one board member's statement, "I don't understand why you as a woman didn't exercise your right to marry that man" is that it's NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS. I have very vivid memories of close-minded people suggesting that my dad, brother, stepmom, stepsister & I weren't a family because we had different skin tones -- and my parents were married!
Things that I agree with:
(1) the conviction of six animal-rights supporters for "using a Web site to incite threats, harassment and vandalism against a company that tests drugs and household products on animals." I'm not saying we should just randomly test harmful chemicals on animals, but what these people did went too far -- the information they posted contained "their home phone numbers, addresses and where their children attended school." When you put people's children at risk, you're seriously crossing the line. Your First Amendment rights allow you to rant & rave & assemble peaceably, but not to put other people in danger.
(2) As silly as it sounds, and as many other things we could be using legislative power for, I think requiring coathooks in public restrooms is a great idea.
(3) The woman who got whacked by an elephant after climbing into its exhibit. 'nuff said.
(4) Japanese scientists have found a method to get gasoline from cow dung. Given the stats in the article, the yearly dung production of Japan could create over 210,000,000 gallons of gas, which is enough for my little Ranger to drive the around the world (at the equator, of course) almost 200,000 times!
(5) The kids who built a soybean powered car, that can go "from zero to 60 in four seconds and get more than 50 miles to the gallon." Expect to see them all hired by big oil for large sums of money, and subsequently locked away in cubicles where no one will hear from them ever again.
Okay, enough for now, have a great weekend, and happy reading!

Friday
Hum dee dum.
It's Friday which, if I didn't have to work this weekend, might lead to joyous shouts. But alas, it's my weekend to work in the office, so I was off yesterday instead. What did I do? Oh it was wonderful, let me tell you! I slept late, ate a bit of brunch, emailed in my final exam, then went back to bed until 3:30pm. It was marvelous. I took the treacherous pants to the tailor, along with another pair of pants, a skirt, & a dress. $62 later, it's STILL cheaper than buying new clothes. I chuckled, because one of the pairs of pants had already been taken in a few months ago, and are again too big. Yay me!
Then, I went to the YMCA & hit the stairstepper for 30 minutes. For the record, I have done 30 minutes of stairstepping FOUR TIMES this week, plus my 45-minute Aquacise classes on M & W. Double yay me!
After the Y, I rented & watched Yours, Mine & Ours (the remake) which was cheesy-funny; and Rent, which was AWESOME!
Sunday, I'm going to a birthday party for Jon's dog, who is turning one. As Jon puts it, "he can no longer be called a puppy & he gets big boy dog food!" Yes, it's a party, for a dog. Got a problem with that? I didn't think so! Yay puppy party!
I want to go home & go to sleep. But I have errands to run after work, including another jaunt on the stairstepper.
By this time next week, I'll be north of Springfield, IL, on my way to Milwaukee. Whoo hoo!

My Clothes Are Trying To Kill Me
Well, I had my Jenny Craig meeting last night -- I lost another two pounds, for a grand total loss of 38.2!
This means that the pants to the suit I bought a just a few months ago are a bit loose, and therefore sit more on my hips than up at my waist. I did not think this was a big deal, until . . .
My pants tried to kill me.
Sure, they'll deny it, something about being inanimate objects, but I know the truth.
They plotted . . . and they waited.
I'm pretty sure my shoes were in on it, too -- gives new meaning to the term "accessory," doesn't it?
As I was walking down the four flights of stairs in the parking garage (which I do, every day, up to this point without incident), my heel caught in the hem of my pants (which is now hanging lower than usual) and ALMOST led me head-first into the concrete wall. I think it was only by sheer willpower that I stayed vertical.
Sheesh.
What a way to wake up!
