http://www.tammiebeagle.com Tammie Beagle Sat, 24 Jan 2009 05:12:54 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I finally figured it out. Ever since I got my office phone number back in August, I've been receiving strange phone calls from people wanting to schedule appointments to get some -- dentures. Uppers, lowers, even partial plates -- I've fielded calls on 'em all.  At first, I thought it was just ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2009/01/24/directory-assistance/ So here we are, stuck in the below-zero degrees zone, and I tell you, I'm more than ready for spring. The dogs are unhappy about going out in this weather, and BJ and I have hunkered down as much as possible as well. I don't think the furnace has quit running ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2009/01/17/baby-its-cold-outside/ Oh, the things that happen when I'm nowhere near my camera. I had Bird on my shoulder, showing him his reflection in the mirror in the hallway.  He always chirps and clucks at it, and sometimes he gets pretty animated.  But he pulled off a first last night. He caught sight of ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2009/01/08/guess-he-likes-menthol/ I know -- anyone who hangs around me or who's been a loyal reader already knows this -- but this has been a fabulous weekend. First, my beloved Mountaineers gave me a lovely Christmas present (even better than silk ties for a businessman!) with their win over the North Carolina Tarheels ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2008/12/28/i-love-football/ Speaking of Christmas, I know it's NOT supposed to be all about the presents, but I gotta tell you -- it was really nice to be able to share the Santa thing just a little this year. Last Christmas was horrible.  Between my shattered pelvis and BJ's surgically altered shoulder, neither ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2008/12/28/giving-and-receiving/ It's both the best of times and the worst of times. First, the best:  Christmas was wonderful.  BJ and I had a great holiday.  The weather was warm enough that all the wet stuff fell  as rain, so travel wasn't a problem.  The quartet's Christmas program was extremely well received.  None ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2008/12/28/happy-times/ Welcome to the holiday break! One thing about teaching at the college that's very different from full-time radio is the schedule. I turned in final grades this weekend, and now, I'm off until classes resume on January 12.  Since my last final exam was on Friday, that's an entire month off. It'll really ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2008/12/15/ho-ho-hum/ I just love my Jeep. We were coming home from a performance last night, and it was mighty cold.  Our area had seen some off-and-on snoew throughout the day on Saturday, and the roads were a sheet of ice.  But by Sunday, the roads weer better.  It was just cold and ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2008/12/08/creme-and-sugar/ My laptop is acting funny. I really like my little old HP.  It's pre-Vista, so I don't have any of  those issues, but it's also been carrying the load for me with all my home computing needs for quite awhile. The MacBook Pro I have at work is pretty awesome, but to ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2008/11/29/hang-in-there-baby/ I'm officially in turkey overload, but I'm happy. We had some friends in for the Thanksgiving weekend, and it was great hosting them.  BJ and I began getting the spread together with making homemade noodles on Tuesday, the great pie baking marathon on Wednesday, and of course, the turkey, stuffing, mashed ... http://www.tammiebeagle.com/2008/11/29/celebrating-the-season-in-style/
