email down! domain registration issues!

aargh!
My email domain name has expired, and I've paid for it to be renewed, and it hasn't worked yet. I've been on the phone 3 times trying to get help. It has taken over a half an hour to speak to an operator who knows nothing! I did call 3 times before I even got to a person - and she knew nothing! AAARGH!! Eventually she have me another number to call, to talk to different people, customer care, instead of customer service! Ha! On hold again! Eventually they answered and said they would "take care of it" and hung up! Customer Service? Does not exist!

So no more "registerfly.com" for me.

I'm stil on hold!

Obsessed!

With a down jacket. Yesterday I saw a woman on the corner as I was walking Duke in the AM. She had on the most amazing down coat. It looked like she was wrapped in a down burrito with arms. That is a good description, yet it does not convey the elegance of the coat. Altogether, she was an amazing looking person – I am guessing Northern European, and in town for Fashion Week. She had on amazing platform boots; a long heavy knit slim skirt, this amazing coat and a pert little hat. Aaah the coat! Now I am wondering if I could make it myself. Cena, want to have a little fashion project? The coat covered her butt, and in the back was half way down her thigh – long enough to keep you warm. At the top, the collar was folded down behind, creating an elegant frame for the head, and room for an intricately wrapped a scarf. One side of the front folded over the other, making a gracefully curved overlap, and included pockets. It really looked good and warm!

I’m obsessed with the idea of being warm, and looking good right now because it is freaking freezing here. When the temperature really dips below freezing, today it feels like 14 degrees, it just freaks me out. I admit it is not rational, but I find it mentally and emotionally difficult to cope with. I start to see the advantages of being a snow bird, and flying south until April!

The only saving grace is the sauna at the gym. I go in there and read until I am warm warm warm. Then I come home. I like to know I can be really warm, it helps to keep it in mind for when I am really cold! I read somewhere that Eartha Kitt spreads Vaseline all over her body, and goes to sit in her sauna, to keep herself looking young! I don’t think I am going to do that, but maybe I’ll put some on my toes before I leave home.

Warm thoughts!

One Down, 16 More to Go!

The semester has begun, and once again, my schedule is wacky! I only have classes on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but have 3 sections of the same class on Wednesday – which begins to feel like doing a “show” because you repeat yourself over and over during the day. By the end of the day, I cannot remember what I have said to my class, and what I haven’t. I make notes, and it’s a good thing, but it feel a little like the movie “Groundhog Day.”

So far, things have been going well, but I do feel like there is lots and lots I need to do over the weekend to be on top of things. In doing this I do not want to loose sight of my own work, my house, and my self. In the past, I have had trouble keeping a balance, and would become overwhelmed with school. My goal for this semester is to not let that happen, and not lose sight of my personal non-school related goals.

Also, Dad, did you get a new cell number? Where are you?
