4. And Texannie and her dh are going to love every minute. (Annie, hope that rescues you from the evil schticklers or whatever their names are!)

1. We are expecting snow tonight, but I know that it is already snowing in Boston and points south so I am not complaining...much.

2. I'd love to see a photo of Herckie's new hair-do... on Herckie's head...just got thinking that I should be very specific...never know what Herckie will do for fun!

3. Going to a Christmas fair tomorrow...should be fun...my annual kick-off to the holiday season.

4. Spent the evening playing cards with my sis, niece, and my niece's friend. Laughed way too much and have a headache because of it.

5. Hope you all have a terrific weekend with lots of relaxation after the busy week.

Hi Texannie!!!!!!

1. I went to scope out my spot at the craft show yesterday. The woman who runs it has been extremely frustrating (not returning phone calls ect.) and I got there a bit early the first time and she wouldn't show me... sooo... went back at the "appropriate" time and she led me to the spot. #13!!!
2. Today is the 13th!
3. Is that lucky, unlucky??? I dunno?
4. I didn't sleep very well, but when I was sleeping I dreamed that when I got back there this morning that the spot she showed me was elevated above the floor and you had to climb steep stadium stairs to reach it....I cried and she took me to lunch to make up for it.
5. The spot is right at an entrance, and I don't know if that's good, bad or doesn't matter. I hope it's good!!
6. I turned the coffee maker on and it seemed to be working rather slowly, but I poured the first cup, drank some, then turned on the light in the kitchen (I had already prepared the coffee the night before to start brewing at 5 am, but I was up a little early and pushed the "brew now" button, but since it was dark thought I'd double check} and saw that instead of brew now, I pushed "clean"
Hope my day doesn't turn out like that.... YUCK!!

1. Good morning everyone - Wow Saturday already!

2. Don't worry ~RG~ you will do fine at the craft show today...deep breaths and enjoy yourself.

3. Hope HP had a great time last night..I would like to see the new hair cut too...where is that camera Herkie...we all want to see the new colour and cut

4. DH is in the field today combining corn so won't see him all day, I take kids to swim lessons and to skating so there is pretty much my day in a nutshell.

5. It is nice and sunny again..about the 3rd or 4th day in a row..it is really cold (below freezing) because the kids keep calling the frost on the ground, snow :-) )

6. I installed a new firewall on my computer last night and had to turn it off so I could access the internet though internet explorer.aaaakkk - thank goodness I could just disable it and get the board..I would go though withdrawals without it.

7. Hope everyone has a great Saturday!

1. ~RG~ your pieces are so pretty, i know that you will do great! i am not supersticious (sp), so 13 doesn't mean anything to me. you go girl!

2. joan of arcadia was very sad last night. i can't believe what happened.

3. thursday night my friend and i went out to our favorite bar for ladies night, and had a blast!

4. we are so lame that we went at 8:30pm so we could leave by 10:30. doesn't matter, it was still so much fun, and not as jam-packed as it gets really late. (i always joke on the way out that i didn't know we were at coyote ugly) lol.

5. found out at work that our christmas party this year will be at the YMCA, and that they are going to have the indoor pool opened. let's just say that i don't work with the cleanest group of people, and i can't picture them in a swimming pool.

6. i was telling my concerns about this to my friend, as she works at the same location as me, and she started talking about certain individuals doing canonballs into the pool. this was almost enough to cause beer to come out my nose, but it didn't, luckily. but after i got home, and was lying in bed thinking about it, i was lol. you guys have no idea the caliber of people i am talking about. let's just say, i won't be getting in that pool. lol

7. i'm excited that bridget jones came out! we'll probably go see it this weekend.

8. tonight i'm going out with a friend that i used to work with and some of her new coworkers. alterego is going, too, since she knows her too. thank goodness, sometimes i can't get out of situations with the former coworker, and alterego is good at that. whew!

8.3 countdown to keith urban.....5 DAYS! woo hoo!

HAPPY SATURDAY FACTOIDERS!

1. Just got my poster display finished for my session at noon....it's very artistic and clear. YIPPEE!

2. My roommate got a dozen roses from her husband because she is also presenting. I get to enjoy looking at them.

3. I had yummy BBQ chicken with Eggie, ds#2, dsbestfriend and Sea last night.

4. I am very tired from the jet lag and the business of the conference.

5. Tonight is the banquet and folk/contra dancing until midnight.

6. There are some people here who will be at the symposium in Munich next week. We are all staying at the same hotel, so maybe I'll have someone to eat a meal with.

7. My hotel is surrounded by a "moat" and is close to the aquarium. I can see the Queen Mary from here! Too bad I don't have time to be ON the Queen Mary.

8. I ate so much last night, I will not have to eat breakfast and maybe lunch today. This is good....grab and go sandwiches are $7!

9. Is today Saturday? Sheesh, I've lost track!

1. I finally got caught up on the Facts and Right Now Threads after going to Iowa for a week.

2. I clicked on Puppylove3's website for Sisters In Crime. Seeing Borders and Macaroni Grill in Overland Park makes me really homesick for Olathe.

3. It's 3:00 pm and I still haven't made my bed. Check out the Cat thread and you'll see why.

4. After waiting all day Friday and most of today for the cable guy to come and get the box, I find out from my husband that he called them and asked them NOT to turn off the cable & internet until next week. He didn't want me to be w/o cable and internet while he was gone. Nice and sweet of him to think of me, but I wish he would have told me before I unhooked the modem. [We have proof we bought it from them, but didn't want it to be taken by mistake.]

5. Finally saw the inside of the house we're moving to. Nothing special, just an old farmhouse. But both my husband and I felt instantly at peace when we walked in.

6. Eddie's going to love it there. Tons of birds, squirrels, and rabbits, cows, deer, and horses in the back yard. When we lived in Iowa he would sit all day watching the birds and rabbits play in the front yard. There's also a billy goat that they can't keep inside the fence. He gets out, comes and sits on the porch for a couple hours a day, then crawls back in the hole he got out of.

7. We were supposed to move in Thanksgiving weekend, but they still have alot of stuff in the house. They've lived there for 30 years and got most of the big stuff out, just have alot of "what should we do with this" kind of stuff left.

8. The house is all paneling except for the dining room. Wainscoating [I think if I remember right from Trading Spaces], chair rail, then flat wall above, and all has been pained, and needs painting again. Right now it's all one color, but I'd like to get creative - any ideas?

9. Found out Thursday that our landlord was starting to swell so it looks as if he's going to be dealing with Congestive Heart Failure again. They have their two youngest granddaughters for a week [5 years and 6 months] and I wanted to call and let them know if they needed anything to let me know, but was afraid they would think I was rushing them on the house. My husband got the message through with his boss who also gave them my phone number.

10. We're just going to get a storage unit and get all but the main stuff out, then if we can't get in before the 1st we'll make due somehow. Important thing is that our landlords don't feel we value the house over their health.

1. Cioppino is a fish stew, loaded with shrimp, crab, fish, mussels, clams, etc. and Pinot Grigio is a nice white wine.

2. I buy a lot of cookbooks too.

3. Usually end up making a few new recipes and then stick to the old standbys.

1. {hugs} RG, tomorrow, those that loved the pendats slept on it, and are coming in to buy, buy, buy!!

2. Cant wait to hear how Texannie's date night went!!

3. Talked to my cousin (we're very close) her ds (18) was miracolously released from prison, while he awaits trial.

4. The boy he drove around as a "favor" (and made a drug buy unbeknowst to cousin's son) has agreed to testify that ds was "clueless" and prayers for this family.

5. They are having a hard time with the news in the paper, and everyone they know judging them, they are not allowed to say anything, for fear the cops will change their minds about helping the ds...

1. I am sitting at the LAX airport....the security line goes outside, and the weather is LOVERLY here!

2. Danced my "you know what" off last night at our banquet.

3. I was happy to see lots of friends and colleagues at the conference....from all over the US, New Zealand, Finland, England, Germany, Austria and Japan. What fun.

4. I am VERY tired.

5. I am liking the wireless networks that I can join. I'm wondering how many wireless networks Juju has on her computer. T Mobile can get me connected in Munich....so I'm going to try it.

6. I didn't even have time to go to the beach or to swim here in Long Beach.....could have had the conference in an underground bunker for all we got out!

7. It will be good to see the cat...onece she gets over being "mad" at me for being gone!

1. Good afternoon (east coast) factoid's! Its sunny here, freezing, but sunny.

2. I met with my florist yesterday. Yes, that's right, I said MY florist. We booked her! She is great! We think so much alike, it's scary!

3. I will try to post more details in the wedding thread sometime today. I know I'll write a book, but I don't care. There are so many great details I can't stand it! I have to tell someone, right?

4. After our meeting yesterday, Steve and I headed down to visit with his parents. His dad is going for surgery (out-patient) on Tuesday, so we wanted to spend some quality time with him.

5. THEY took US out to dinner, which is very typical of them. They never let us pay the bill.

6. Steve is finishing the hutch to our new desk today. It will be nice if I get to start organizing it this week. I really just want the office DONE.

7. I should be doing laundry, but instead I'm sitting here typing. The laundry isn't going anywhere, right?

8. Hope everyone has a great Sunday and a great week ahead!!!

1. It is a beautiful day in Northern California.

2. The sun is shining but the air is crisp.

3. We took our dog to the park yesterday for the first time. She handled herself wonderfully.

4. The park was full of children and my dog didn't bark or try to chase anyone not once.

5. Maggie is such a good dog, we are so lucky!

6. How many people does it take to bath a dog?

7. Three. One child in the tub with the dog and one child outside the tub taking care of the shampoo.

8. And one parent sitting on the floor taking pictures! I'll post pictures later this week.

9. We eat dinner with my father every Sunday. Tonight he's making linguisa and french bread. Yummy!

10. I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

1. My father is Portugese and first generation American. My fathers parents both came over to the US through Ellis Island. I have a copy of the ship manifest that shows my grandmother as a passenger in 1911.

2. Ellis Island has a great website!

2.1 Mamie, the more I learn about you. The more I like you.

1. Whew, catching up here is hard to do--the world just doesn't stop cuz I'm otherwise occupied, does it? Been away since Friday afternoon, basically.

2. Friday night, cuz my dd missed the first train from Manhattan (due to work obligations), we changed our reservation to 9:30 pm! It was cold and snowing, but, as it turned out, it worked out beautifully--we were ready to eat!

3. A jazz pianist was playing when we entered--and played about halfway through dinner. Not what I had expected (as the other two times we've been there, a a trio or quartet with singer performed), but it was fine.

3.1 I opened Loupup's card and presents at the table. (Beautiful black sweater, winter cap and a tall 'to-go' coffee mug that came with a plastic covering so you can insert pictures around its surface). She had filled it with pics of her and her brother and Herc. It was soooo cute!

4. We all started with Kir Royals--with Loupup and Ed toasting my birthday. We had wine with our dinner. I ordered their signature appetizer dish foie gras trio (I love foie gras!) and their Baked Filet of Black Sea Bass entree. It came with Red and Yellow Beefsteak Tomatoes and Fennel Crisp Polenta and Basil Oil. Delicious! I honestly had no room for dessert!

4.1 Ed had free range garlic chicken which he absolutely raved over. Loupup ordered their halibut and I posted a pic of what appears to be salmon that I found on their site because the presentation was almost exactly the same (except her halibut had a dark sauce accompaniment--portabello mushroom-based). Anyway, Loupup thoroughly enjoyed it.

halibut


5. The next day we all slept in. In the morning, I got to see Loupup snuggling nicely with Herc in our sofabed. So sweet!

5.1 Loupup got some groceries here, then we (including Herc) all drove to her place in Brooklyn. We dropped off Herc at her place and walked to a new restaurant that opened up around the corner from where she lives.

5.2 I have to say the grilled scallops that I ordered there were the best I have ever eaten! What a weekend! (I volunteered to drive home so Ed could enjoy two drinks.) Ed's car has an outside temperature gauge and we noticed the temperature drop 9 degrees from Brooklyn to Danbury! It was definitely icy when we got home.

5.3 Ed, Herc and I slept in today, too, as we got home about midnight. Leisurely late breakfast. Skipped lunch. Hamburgers for dinner! Ha! Lovely weekend!

5.4. Sorry, no pics of my hair (which Loupup and Ed loved. btw)! Maybe next time.

1. Herck, it sounds like you had such a lovely time and I am so glad for you.

2. My brother called me today to tell me what a good time he had with us last night and that he loved me and we really should do it more often.

3. I visited with Mom for awhile. Her allergies were bothering her but otherwise, she's doing great.

4. Thought a lot about Christmas shopping today.

5. I ordered myself more books. I really shouldn't have but I think I have a book addiction.

6. Going to watch my Jonny on the American Music Awards and dream.....
