wow i can't believe how the time zooms when you're getting ready for the holidays ...

i've barely been home, and as a result, updating the web page is nearly impossible.

i'm working out a skills barter with a friend ... she's going to help me redesign the page and i'm going to show her some of the buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin i learned in my altered books course.

it's interesting being in the city for Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin - christmas. usually i'm in canada for the holidays. mom buy phentermine overnight dad arrived on saturday, after a really Adipex buy cheapest phentermine - bad drive. i believe mom described it as 'i nearly Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin - lost my cookies when a double tractor trailer rolled off the highway and landed in a farmer's field right in front of us'. eesh.

i'm looking forward to seeing Adipex buy cheapest phentermine - the rockefeller tree this year. i've missed it a few times, and it's amazing to me how the Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin - thing is up for practically 2 months and some years i've missed seeing it. i saw the lincoln center tree this year for the first Adipex buy cheapest phentermine - time. now i just need to get down to wall street and see the tree there and my tree hunt will be complete for the year.

i put up a tree this year for the first time. in september i got a storage unit at manhattan mini storage (so now i have a buy phentermine overnight to store it the other 10 months of the year) and coupled buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin a trip home a few weeks ago, and a large empty buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin (after delivering a buy phentermine overnight for a wee one santa style) all adds up to me coming back to new york right around christmas time with room in my bag for a christmas tree and a place to put it after. soo ... i have my small teddy bear christmas tree in my apartment (i even have a tree skirt ... i bought it at old navy a few years ago in an after christmas sale ... it's red performance fleece with a performance fleece christmas tree appliqued on it) anyway ... i'm pretty excited about my tree.

alright it's getting late.
i want Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin : to wish everyone a happy buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin and happy new year. i know that there are people who read this on a regular basis, and lately i haven't updated on anything Adipex buy cheapest phentermine - you could call near regular ... so Adipex buy cheapest phentermine : for that i want to thank you all for having faith in me, and apologize for my lame site.

it's beginning to Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin, look a lot like christmas ...

the christmas tree stands are up on the sidewalks, i did some shopping on Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin - monday (was very busy in the stores) ... felt very new york rushing Adipex buy cheapest phentermine - out of a store in times square with large packages and then bustling myself into a cab (saw one immediately and ran for it!) which darted through times square and across 42nd street in true new york cab style (we nearly ran into the back of a Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin : bus while changing lanes, and almost hit an ambulance head on when the driver wasn't paying attention to traffic) - buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin the while i was chatting on my cell phone with my sister commentating the drive to her (so jack's hockey game went well and he scored ACK! buy phentermine overnight almost ran into the back of a bus and you were saying that georgia's ballet class was good OH MY GOD we nearly hit an ambulance head on and scott comes home from england when? WOW we nearly creamed a jaywalker oh here we are at home 5 back please? thanks have a good day call you later marcie!)

grid lock alert day today ... thanks to the tree, the christmas spectacular, and the broadway matinees. everyone who lives within driving distance of the city Adipex buy cheapest phentermine : (including most of nj, ct and long island) picks a day in december to drive the entire family in for 'the day in the city' ... it's pretty amazing how many more people can jam themselves into manhattan.

i bought buy phentermine overnight new shower curtain liner a few days ago (mom and dad are coming down soon and i couldn't dare Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin : let them see the state of my shower liner ... when i go into the shower in the morning i A) am still sleeping and B) don't have my contacts in so i never notice the state it gets into until it's bad) so at 10 pm last night i'm standing in the shower in my sweats trying buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin hang the new liner. i have the regular standard plastic curtain rings and hate them because they're hard to open and close ... but everytime i go to buy those cool ones with the buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin ball bearings on the top i stop and look and think that there are better things my $10 could buy ... so last night i'm in the shower trying to hang the new liner and i discover that the new liner i bought has metal grommets that won't fit over the plastic rings that are holding the curtain and current liner. argh. in frustration i change into jeans and head out to bed bath and beyond, which (thankfully) opened 4 blocks from my apartment about a year ago. so there i am, at buy phentermine overnight at night, walking up the block with purpose (i had that 'i'm on a mission don't mess with me' walk on i'm sure) and into the store i go (good thing for their Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin - holiday hours!) and out i come with new shiny metal shower curtain rings. back home, back into sweats and back into the shower to hang my nice new liner.

i love new Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin : york *hee hee*. no where else can you run up the street at 10:15 pm to a fully stocked, awesome home and bath store.

but i digress ... hmm ... what was i saying? oh yes, it's beginning to look a lot like christmas :-)

this week i:

* went Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin : on a secret date with mom and dad. mom surprised dad and i with a lovely dinner at 'garlic's' ... a nice restaurant where, yup, you guessed it, garlic is pretty much the main ingredient on the menu. then, after dinner (which Adipex buy cheapest phentermine : was complete with coffee and dessert) we headed off Adipex buy cheapest phentermine : to The Grand Theatre, where we saw The Wizard of Oz. it was fantastic, and considering the fact that i've never seen the movie nor read the buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin (shh!) it was delightful to see what it was all about. i was a little annoyed by the ending, however. i leaned over to mom and whispered 'it was all a dream?? what is this, Dallas?' *hee hee*.

* i met my new boyfriend. buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin he's about 3 weeks old, weighs just over 4 pounds (woo hoo!), has blonde Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin - hair and blue eyes and is the most charming little guy.

* i hung out with my other boyfriend. he's about 7 months old and just a cutie! it was nice to see him again, too.

* finished my christmas cards this morning. mailing the canadian ones here and i'll mail the american ones from new york. once i finish writing them *hee hee*.

* i saw the new buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin trek movie. it was pretty good. at the one hour Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin : mark i found myself wondering when the episode was ever going to be over *hee hee* but then the action picked up again and it ended without notice.

* i found a long lost university buddy! i took a chance and called her old phone number .. where i found her father who was just delightful and gave me her new number. i can't wait to catch up with her!

* i made some holiday gifts. and bought a few. and came up with some ideas, so i'm rolling.

* i spent much of the buy phentermine overnight very annoyed at my parent's internet server ... it won't load 90% of pages that i know Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin : exist ... like yahoo, and, right at this moment, hotmail. i'm not sure what it's problem is, but i'm about ready to toss it out the window.

ok, buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin i need to go pack. i'm bringing a baby christmas tree home with me, so i'll have buy phentermine overnight first tree in new york! i'm quite excited. must run but i'll be back later. when the page loads.

wow time flies when on holiday with nothing to do...

i made my christmas cards on tuesday. and saw some good friends and their son. he's buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin so big! he was logrolling around on the floor! i could hardly believe it. then he went into the jolly jumper and i could hardly help but chuckle because he was having such a good time jumping and bouncing.
i went shopping with mom on wednesday. buy phentermine overnight then i Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin - made some christmas presents. then i saw another good friend and her new little baby boy ... he's so Adipex buy cheapest phentermine - cute and strong and fiesty. i just sat and buy phentermine overnight to him for a while, and then was very jealous of his little house. he's in an incubator right now, so he's just lounging around, in 31 C temperatures, sleeping and growing and getting strong. i was joking that when we got there he was sleeping ... and that right Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin, at this moment he was under a palm tree. imagine owning one of those? you could just crawl in and be toasty and warm ...

and then i saw some other good friends after and made plans for friday night.

today i'm just hanging out at home for Adipex buy cheapest phentermine - a Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin - while, then at 2 going to meet with Adipex buy cheapest phentermine - one of my library school professors. it will be nice to see her again and catch up. tonight is a secret date with mom and dad. mom is the only one who knows what's up, but dad was buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin to confirm that it involved food *hee hee*.

Well,

After a 3 hour drive to Buffalo, I entered the INS office with confidence in Adipex buy cheapest phentermine - my step and fear in my heart.

After sitting in the waiting area for 25 minutes the fear took over the confidence.

After finally buy phentermine overnight called into the main office, and being yelled at by yet another INS officer, panic took over the fear.

After being told to 'sit out there and wait', I Adipex buy cheapest phentermine - pulled out my cell phone, called my Human Resources Department (who were on call buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin me), who called the lawyers, who called a contact in INS Washington, who called the Peace Bridge office.

Who then called me Adipex buy cheapest phentermine - back inside, harrassed me a bit more, and then gave me the Visa.

So I'm legal for another year! The relief hasn't quite Adipex buy cheapest phentermine - settled in yet, but I'm sure that by tomorrow I'll be ready to celebrate.

Thanks for all buy phentermine overnight supportive emails and kind words that have been exchanged over Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin - this entire ordeal. It has really meant a lot to me to know how many family and friends are behind me.

eating breakfast

the family is getting ready to climb into the car and head to buffalo to try again with the INS. mom just got in from walking the dog (i could barely get myself into the shower and she's walking around outside in subzero temperatures!), and dad's eating toast.

we're Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin : all rather quiet today, no one wanting to talk about it.

i was in the shower doing positive visualization. not jinxing anything. positive visualization. i could see myself walking into the office, speaking pleasantly with the officers, and leaving with a visa. not jinxing. Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin, positively visualizing.

not too hungry this morning. not sure i could stomach toast. a bit knotted.

i'll let you know what happens when we get back later today. it's Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin : 3 hours there and 3 hours home. plus whatever time we have to wait at the border. Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin, if all goes well, we're going shopping in buffalo. if it doesn't, i'm sure we'll head straight back.

wish us luck.

well, it's 3:00 in the afternoon ...

snow snow everywhere as far as the eye can see.

the sky is full of snow. it's gray and slightly dark and the trained canadian snow eye can see it coming down for hours still.

staten island closed it's branches at Adipex buy cheapest phentermine - 12. buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin the bronx is closing at 4. brooklyn and queens are staying open. manhattan isn't sure what to do.

i'm really glad i dusted off the 'ol snow boots this morning. buy phentermine overnight i didn't need them then but they'll be a lifesaver to get buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin home.

Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin -
walking in a winter wonderland ...

well ladies and gentlemen, it's finally snowing here in new york city.

it's so pretty, and Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin, it's one of those insulating snows ... it's just below freezing so the snow is sticking, but it's not windy and it's really not even that cold out. for the moment, it's pretty, but will turn icky pretty quick, i'm sure.

the prediction is 6-8" in the afternoon ... so i can hope for the library to announce a closing *hee hee*. the funny thing is, when that happens (and Adipex buy cheapest phentermine, it happens so rarely), that the mayor enacts a procedure that sends all city workers home in a staggered manner over the afternoon, so the 250,000 of us (city workers) aren't all trying to commute home during rush hour, with everyone else. the 'non-essential' ranks are released first, and that's usually us. i'm never sure if that is a good thing (we get to go home early!) or an insult (wait a minute! did you just classify us as the buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin non-essential city workers in the city! well, your mama too!) *hee hee*

the tree was lit in rockefeller center last night. i watched it on tv. really, Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin, it's the best place to see it, because there are way too many people crammed into way too small a space, and unless buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin get there at like 4 pm, you probably can't even see the tree and have to buy phentermine overnight it's lighting on a giant tv screen anyway. also, they put the various performers at various locations around rockefeller center, so you can't see them anyway. they even keep you away from the edges of the ice rink, so the skating isn't visible either ... and it's a long time to wait in the cold (show doesn't start until 7pm, and usually the tree lights at 9 pm, although Adipex buy cheapest phentermine, this year it was 8 for some reason...). and let's not even talk about buy phentermine overnight or how to get out once it's done. the crowd gathers slowly, but once it's lit, everyone wants out at the same time. mad chaos.

ok, so do i need to convince anyone to not go see the tree be lit? it's one of those things that you do once (which i did) and never do again. and new yorkers don't usually go, they're too smart. it's mostly tourists and people from westchester, new jersey, and long island who treat it as their outing to the city for the season.

well, i guess i should get back to work. going to put some buy phentermine overnight music on and keep up with the mood.

happy shoveling!

Sunday, December buy phentermine overnight 2002

had a delightful thanksgiving on thursday with izz's family ... and hanukkah celebration with buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin brother-in-law's family yesterday ... they always make me more buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin welcome at family events and celebrations and i'm very appreciative of it.

and now i'm at work today.

but i just had one of the most amazing interactions with a child patron that i think i've ever had.

a young man Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin : (about 6 or 7 years old) approached the information desk, with Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin, mom behind. mom was carrying a backpack in her hand. she encouraged him to ask me what he needed ... he seemed a bit shy, and a bit sad.

'do you have buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin about doctors?' he asked me.
'what did you want to know about doctors?' i asked him back
he looked up buy phentermine overnight his mom, who put the backpack down on the chair beside the information desk. she reached in side and pulled out a small-to-medium sized stuffed dog.

'we have a buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin dog' she said.

i looked at him and said 'you need puppy doctor books?
he nodded.

i got up Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin : and said 'let's go see what we can find for you and your puppy.'

we went buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin the 636's (pet books) and Adipex buy cheapest phentermine : found, among lots of other puppy pet books, 'taking your dog to the vet'. buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin pulled it off the shelf and showed it to him. 'will this be good, do you think?' i asked him.

he Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin - nodded, with a shy smile on his face.
'that will be perfect' his mom said.

the i pulled off 'how Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin : to talk to your dog' and gave it to him as well. 'take a browse through here and you should buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin everything you need.'

'thanks so much' mom replied.

'good luck with your pupppy.' i said as i was walking away. 'let me know if you need anything else.'

'i think Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin : this will do it just right' mom said. the boy was nose deep Buy diet free online phentermine pill shippin, in the book by this point.

i couldn't stop smiling. only at the library, and to a children's librarian, can a young boy come to find out where to make his stuffed puppy healthy.
