Congratulations emmar!  I'm sure you'll do great things in college and beyond.  Maybe this May we can have a joint Graduation/Admission party as I'm graduating from UW Oshkosh on May 12th.  My best advice is to be open to ideas but have a plan of some sorts and stick to it.  The hoops you'll jump through are merely that: hoops.  The end goal is worth it.

What a worthy topic to respond to for my 1000th post!

Hey everybody!

I'll take some food from both menus. Some nice spicy  hot chili with carrots and cheese bread for me.  Cup of hot chocoolate sounds good too (even thought it just warmed up out here in Washington).

First I want to apologize for being away for so long. I have been swamped with homework, sports practices, track meets and a serious lack of sleep! I am definitly looking forward to spring break next week. Not having to stay up till midnight working on Calculus homework will be a nice change from the last week or so.

Now for the good news. I recieved my admissions decisions at the end of last week and I have been admitted to Princeton!  It was my top choice along with the United States Coast Guard Academy, but I have decided to go to Princeton.  I can't wait untill this fall.  The other great thing is that my parents said that they might let me take the train across the country this fall instead of taking a plane to get there. Well thats my good news for now. I will try to stop in and visit at the diner every day if I have time. 

-emmar (one very happy geek)

Yes we call it the Dinky. Why? Well cause it's dinky! Proud to be the official train geek of Princeton University!

Somebody left the freezer door open!

20 degrees here in Omaha last night and now Hill City, Kansas is reporting heavy snow with a visibility of 1/4 of a mile.

Ever colder temperatures on the way with highs Friday and Saturday in the mid to upper 30s and lows Friday night and Saturday night in the lower to mid teens. The forecasted lows for those two nights would break the record low for each night by about 8 degrees. Now that's cold! Due to the recent warm weather, a lot of early plants and trees are already flowering and now they're getting damaged in the frost. What a spring!

Okay, we've got two requests for today's menu:

1.  roast, taters, carrots, w/PLENTY of gravy/juices) and garlic cheese bread
2.  Chilli (mild, medium and hot)

Everything will be on the warmer bar, in 30 minutes.  And I'm keeping hot coffee, hot chocolate and hot tea going all day, so everyone can warm themselves up with something hot to drink.

Good Thursday morning, everyone!  Yes, I'm feeling much better this morning.  Sore throat is gone, and I feel more human today.

Coffee is ready, hot tea and hot chocolate are ready, along with freshly made juice.  On the warmer bar, you'll find all the regular breakfast items.  

Brian, like that new smiley face on your post!!  

Mookie, since you're "hangin' around" this morning, just make sure your secured tightly, so you don't fall!!Wink [;)]Big Smile [:D]

If any of you have any requests for lunch and dinner today, please let me know, and I'll try my best to comply!!

Duff, hope you get to feeling better, SOON!  I'm not much better, and Mutt is under the weather, also.  They say that it takes two weeks to get something, when you've been exposed, so I wonder what we've been exposed to!  Thankfully, he doesn't have a sore throat, just feeling very blah.  

I've put some more soups, and sandwiches on the warmer bar, so everyone help yourselves.

Probably meant "drizzle" Sometimes the keyboard has a mind of it's own

I think today I will just have fruit. No appetite for the great diner greasy spoon stuff...maybe again it's jsut the heartburn.  

Things here are going well, my OB found I had high blood pressure Monday, and had me on bedrest. So I did that, drove me crazy too. I hate being tied down to one place, I have to do things, and keep busy, or else i would go insane. I went in again yesterday and my blood pressure dropped back to normal. But they are still taking precatuins, seeing if I don't develop something called "Preeclampsia"....  I think that's how it's spelled. I doubt it, cause in order to have preeclampsia, I wouls have to have a reading of 140/110, where mine was about 130/110, usually runs about 120/110. It was a jump from the last doctor visit. I don't have blurred vision, only have sinus headaches, (they ask for "unexplained headaches") and pain in the upper abdomen.  Tomorrow I am going back to Gainesville for another appointment, and hopefully things will check out fine. *fingers crossed*  

I went to Target yesterday to get one of those travel systems for Sadie, and I fell in love with it afterwards. It's a stroller/carseat/infant seat combination that can work with each other, and I just love it. Probably one of the best investments that I made this month so far.

 It's hot and humid here, I think it's getting past the 80's here. Blah! No wonder people tell me not to get pregnant during the summer...it is uncomfortable! One more month, to two weeks to go now! so I am not stressing about it too badly.  We need rain and lots of it....Sindsome of your rain and snow our way

Think I'm beginning to feel a tad bit better.  Slept for a couple more hours.  Did fix some soup for today:  vegetable beef, chicken noodle, cream of tomato, cream of broccoli.  On the counter, you'll find saltine crackers & oyster crackers, along with wheat crackers for your soup,  and also on the warmer bar with the soups, you'll find grilled cheese sandwiches and "fried bologna" sandwiches.

Thanks to everyone for their prayers for my mom. She is ever so gradually getting better, but she is still pretty sick.

It was cold this morning! The low temperature was 21, the wind chill was 6, and there was some light snow. Ed doesn't know how good he's got it down in Houston!

Today is the last day of school before Easter, so I finally have a decent vacation only five hours away.

Hope everyone has a good day!
