So, tell me, do I have any friends going to DSS? I, unfortunately, take the time off from work to attend. It really sucks working weekends.

Actually, Fire Goddess, I am supposed to be working that weekend at the Dome ( my second job) but I am taking the weekend off! I work a regular 40 hour week, then work every Syracuse men's football, basketball, and lacrosse game, which means nearly every weekend, and often during the week as well, except in the summer. In March and April I work another job as Special Event Coordinator for a film festival. This year one of the main events happens to fall on my birthday, but I will be working anyway. Oh, and did I mention I am an election inspector supervisor every November? This doesn't count the books I sell on ebay on the side. My son teases me about the "cult" I am in, but I know he realizes I need some FUN time too.

Man oh man I can't wait until these kids are done with college!

Is anyone willing to buy the ticket for me? I am in NC and just can't make it! Let me know if you are willing to help a struggling "boxer" while hubby is away...in IRAQ...guilt trip working yet? Anyway...let me know if you wouldn't mind.

Thanks,
Jenny
