1. Fingers crossed for RG. 2. My silly dog jumps up and down by the screen door like a pogo stick. We just watch her, knowing that eventually she's going to get tired. But she doesn't. 3. She just keeps jumping. It's really funny!

1. We keep the back door open for Harvey, he can come and go unless it's too cold. If it's shut, he'll scratch the door to be let in and out. 2. At night when he was a puppy, we taught him to go to the bedroom window. He'd scratch til he woke us then we'd open it (floor to ceiling windows, lol) and hop out, then come back in. 3. Once in awhile he'll still do that in the middle of the night, or early in the morning if no one's up yet to let him out. 4. Still haven't found Caleb's glasses. I tore my house up today looking for them. Tomorrow I'm going to have to take him and his old glasses and see if they can straighten them out. 4.5 Because I got a call from the school nurse at 1:30 today asking me to pick him up. He was complaining of a headache and feeling sick to his tummy. Was the second time he'd been up there, first time she had him lay down with a wet rag and he felt good enough to go back to class.

1. Yay, RG!! When you get started on something, you really follow through! Keeping my fingers crossed and hope you hear soon. 2. Ed has had to attend meetings in NY for the last two evenings, getting home well after the dinner hour. The people he works with all go out and eat together, thank goodness. Well, at least the roads are clear now, so don't have to worry about that. 3. My car battery was dead this morning. Should have remembered to at least start it the last few days. Hadn't used it in about 5 days. With Ed gone today, we decided to take care of it tomorrow. So I have been without a car today. Had a dental appt and had to cancel. 4. I have my 78-year-old mother making snowflakes on that site Who posted about a week ago! Figured it would give her some fun, and it has. 5. Gulp. Just heard on Fox that several more inches of snow expected tomorrow morning--for New York. Not sure if it will hit here, but Danbury is very close to NY. Ack for getting a new battery in tomorrow morning.

1. So, I pulled out the couches and looked behind them for Caleb's glasses. Then I lifted them up and searched under them. No glasses. 2. Tore his bed apart, pulled the mattress out, searched under it. No glasses. 3. Pulled the tv out, searched behind it and the window sills in the den. No glasses. 4. Kitchen counters, cabinets, fridge, back of toilet, behind the toilet, bathroom mirror and cabinet, and between the tub and sink. Cleaned up the dining room table where I'd been working on a couple craft projects the last two days and searched under it. Checked the end tables three times. Plus Caleb checked them because he insisted that's where he left them. No glasses. 5. By 6pm he was in tears with a headache. Tylenol and wet washcloths weren't helping. I told him soon as dad got home we'd take his old glasses to Lenscrafters and see if they could straighten them out tonight instead of waiting til tomorrow. 6. Darren walked in at 6pm. Sat his lunch box and keys on the table, walked over to the end table and said, "Here's Caleb's glasses!" The way he walked right to the table and picked them up when Caleb and I had both looked there at least 5 times between the two of us and the glasses weren't there, I almost asked him if he'd picked up Caleb's glasses by mistake this morning, but figured I wouldn't since all I cared about was having his glasses. 6.5 I am positive they were not on that table all day long, lol. That may just be me being stubborn, but there is no way I missed them sitting there, nor Caleb since he said this morning that's where he put them last night!

I haven't done any facts in a long time. I'll make it a "generic fact" post. 1. I grew up in Southern Maryland. 2. This is the house I lived in for much of my childhood. It was built in 1745.
3. This is the lovely town I now reside in.
4. I was in the color guard in both my high school and university marching bands. 5. However, I secretly always wanted to play the drums.
6. When I was growing up, we had basset hounds. This is a picture of Edison, who was my last basset.
7. For some reason, I moved from bassets to a Jack Russell. Unusual, but I'm happy.
8. One of my favorite places in the world is New Zealand. This photo was taken there:
9. I am also quite fond of Switzerland.
10. I like to garden and am looking forward to springtime.

1. I'm very tired. I just got in from SF. It was a fast 2 day trip. I attended a funeral service for my Aunt L. She was 85 and lived the last 5 years of her life with Alzheimers. The services provided time to recall her many acts of kindness to many of us. I also was able to see many of my cousins once again, which was heartwarming to me. It was cold and rainy in SF and it's nice to be home tonight with my boys, Egbob and Oscar.

{{Eggie}} 1. Hi everybody!!! I'm not really back, this is just a figment of your imagination... (lol) 2. I have ventured from my room (folder) out into the TV room (folder) lately. I peeked into the Gen folder today for the first time in months! Just wanted to say hi, and send good vibes out to you all. If I can, I'll be around a little more in the future.. (Hands, and mind willing -- lol)

{{{Eggie}}} Hi MGA! 1. It has been a long day today, lol. After getting up before dawn this morning, things were going pretty well. For awhile, lol. Then Dakota went to get in her school clothes (the only set of clean clothes she had since I'm behind on laundry after the plumbing problems!) only to find I'd grabbed the wrong pair of jeans and they didn't fit. After trying to find anything at all that would fit and be acceptable for school I finally gave up and had to rush the kids to Walmart to buy her a pair of jeans. How sad is that? 2. Also picked up an umbrella since it was raining when we went in. Wouldn't you know, soon as we came out it stopped and hasn't come back. If I'd known I could stop the rain by buying an umbrella I'd have done it last month, LOL! 3. Spent two hours today doing homework with the kids. Half of that time was helping Caleb write an oral report he has to do next week. The topic is a fun day with a relative or friend, so he chose the day his uncles and dad took him and a cousin out to the desert to race go carts. This just cracked me up, he wrote, "I had fun racing my cousin with dad letting me drive because I got to hang out with just the guys and not have mom telling me to slow down and be careful." That just does nothing for my image other than lend evidence to the fact that I'm boring!

1. Good morning TVCH!! 2. I've discovered a crap load of spyware and adware on my computer. I'm so frustrated. 3. DD wants to sign up for a self-defense class. We're going to check it out tonight. 4. I'm so ready for this school year to be OVER.

1. I haven't written in here for awhile, so it is time! 2. What a great week it has been - hardly anyone at the office and today no one except me! 3. My son is doing good in school these days and I am very proud of him. 4. Denecee's daughter had her Joey this last week and what a cutie, I have enjoyed being able to hold him. 5. I just want to wish everyone at TVCH a great weekend.

1. Been a week or two since I've been facting. I just don't seem to find the time like I used to. 2. Tonight, all the boys are out. Gone to choir practise and it was dh's turn to drive, so I get the house and computer all to myself. In fact, there are 4 I could use if I wanted to. Why I can't get one any other night is news to me!!!! 3. Hubby and I are going away for the weekend. I have been telling some friends here that I sure know how to romance a guy. A weekend of shopping for bathroom renovation things like toilet, tub and sinks. Who am I kidding, he'll be in his glory for hours at HOME DEPOT and RONA. I don't think I'll be designer shopping. 4. Sunday morning, I have been asked to lead the worship service at our church. The kids have had a mixed reaction. The middle one hopes I don't embarass him. The youngest said he would help out any way he could. Night and day those two years make!!!! 5. The Apprentise is on tonight. I really enjoy watching the show, but wish that Donald could just bow out gracefully. The show is so much better without his input. My hubby and I have a running arguement on who should replace The Donald. I would love to see Oprah and he would love to see someone like Bill Gates. And I guess that explains why we are not reality tv producers!!!!!! lol 6. Tomorrow is Friday and the last day of exams for my students. EXCEL has been a killer for some of them. I really hope they do well. Good night all

1. Gonna be a busy weekend here. 2. Sis' birthday is tomorrow. 3. Still not sure if I'm going to have to help my niece make a cake (I love this last minute stuff.) 4. Saturday both my nieces are coming to spend the night so sis and bil can go out and celebrate that night. 5. Another night and day difference between my sis and I. I don't really care about my own birthdays and would prefer them to be quiet and not made out to be a huge deal. Sis thinks it should be a national holiday and the world should celebrate with her, lol. 6. The wind here has been awful since last night. Hardly any rain though. When I went to bed last night, I kept hearing a knocking/scratching sound. Took me at least 20 minutes to figure out it was the bush outside my bedroom window being battered and pushed up against it by the wind. Think it's time to trim the bush. 7. My car's falling apart piece by piece, lol. Yesterday Caleb got out of the back seat, shut the door and we heard something hit the ground. Turns out it was the door knob button thingine. It just popped right out and I can't get it back in. Now the back drivers side door can't be opened for the outside. Darren offered to take the door panel off and see if he can fix it but I'm kinda afraid to see what else might pop off if he does that. I love my car.

Morning all 1. Well it is suppose to warm up today, yesterday we had a wind chill in the morning of -44 C & F - now that is cold. 2. It is suppose to be a high of -8C today - which should be better and the next few days around the freezing mark 3. But...it is sunny out..2 days in a row now..will take the cold with the sun any day. 4. Going out snowmobiling with dh this morning and for a bit this afternoon as the kids are at sitter and school. 5. I should be doing work here at home in the office, but hey, there is snow, it is sunny, no kids, you have to take the opportunities when they come along...besides I have not even sat on a snowmobile yet this year. 6. We are also going to a hockey game tonight, It is Junior A hockey - which is the league just below the NHL. It is great hockey to watch and our hometown team is the number 1 rated team in Canada right now. Ticket were really hard to come by, but thanks to a friend, dh and I are going. 7. Still working on dd school project..it is a lot of work, hopefully she will be able to present it all to her class orally. Hard to make such a hard project for a grade 2 student easy enough for them to remember all the detail and not read it. 8. Have a great day all!

1. Good morning everyone! 2. It's really cold here too Skootz. Wind chills around -12 degrees F. 3. I can't stop sneezing! 4. We're going to see D.L. Hugley tonight. I'm so excited. 5. DH's family is coming over for dinner on Sunday. There's lots of drama going on, so I hope things go well. 6. We rented the funniest DVD this week. "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle". 7. I can't stay awake past 9:30 pm anymore. What's wrong with me lol. 8. DD received her report card today. She did a fantastic job. I'm so proud of her 9. Enjoy the weekend!!!!!

1. Students are writing their final EXCEL exam. There is a degree of moaning and groaning. So far it has taken them almost 2 hours. I hope that is just a sign of them being thorough. 2. Third day of shining sun here, cept it is still very cold. I really hope the sun soon warms things up and melts the snow. Everyone seems to be so crabby from being stuck inside. 3 Youngest has a PD day for school which means he is home with his older two brothers. I hope they don't turn my house upside down. I have stocked the fridge, so I know they will at least have easily accessible food. Maybe with any luck they might decide to fold some laundry....hmmmm, I think I'm dreaming. 4. Hubby is bidding on a large contract on the military base this morning. I hope it goes well for him. He deserves to get it. 5. I have to remember to order Chinese food for the students' graduation next week. If you don't order well in advance you don't get it. The joys of living in a small town. 6. The lady we asked to be the guest speaker at the Retreat Weekend I am coordinating for April called and confirmed. I am so excited. She will be wonderful. Having someone confirmed this early is most unusual. I hope it is a sign that everything else will go as smoothly. 7. I was dropping by some folders this morning saying hi to old friends. I realized some of them have been missing now for a while. I wonder how I can find out how they are. I do hope they check folders on occasion. 8. Today is eat out day at school. We are all going to my favorite deli. I am glad because right now I am going to post in the right now thread that I am starving. 9. Hubby and I decided to have breakfast out tomorrow before we head off for our weekend away. I really enjoy having time alone with him. I love my kids, but I do love my hubby. Breakfast can be the best meal of the day especially when someone else cooks it.

1. alterego and i went out last night, since we are both off of work today. i love days off! 2. i woke up with a HANGOVER headache this morning...i only had 2 drinks! WTH?! (although, they were hurricanes) back in the day, it took much more for me to have a hangover. at least it went away rather quickly with some ibuprofen. thank goodness for that stuff. 3. i went to walmart this morning to get "a few things" and spent $50! OMG, i don't have money just to spend like that, but it was stuff that we (me and the cat) needed. she got a new sifting litterbox, and i got some levi jeans for $11, and hairproducts, soap, etc. it adds up so fast! 4. a new added bonus to the leak in the bathtub faucet...i turned the knob so hard that it broke off! i had to go to my mom's to take a shower before i went out last night. i need to straighten up around here before i can call maintenance. sometimes i hate living here, but i hate moving even more. 5. kitty went with me to mom's last night too. i am leaving her with mom while i go to texas next week, so she won't be by herself for 4 days. she's stayed there before, and she appeared to be fine last night...although she's a little "hissy" toward mom's cats (they are boy cats). don't worry, all of them are spayed and neutered, so there will be no babies. lol 6. i heard from a dear friend that i hadn't spoken to for about 2 years the other night. i'd written her a letter, because she's very busy, and i didn't want to call her, because there's never a good time. we talked for an hour and it passed so quickly! we laughed and laughed. we're going to try to get together after i get back from texas! i can't wait! 7. i bought some (expensive) digestive enzyme pills, and started taking them a couple of days ago. they are supposed to help with weight loss (a guy i work with told me about them, and they helped him lose 30 pounds!) uhhh, without being too gross, let's just say i see why they help with weight loss. 8. puppylov3 sent me some of her weight watchers slide scales. i want to thank her again for that....i love them, and they are so helpful! thank you, again! 9. okay, here i go, gonna clean up around here. woo hoo! can't wait! 10. 6 more days til texas (it will never be the same after this group goes there! lol)

1. My son had his spelling bee this morning. He didn't win. He's in second grade and was competing with kids up to grade five. A fifth grader won,of course. He was one of only 5 second graders chosen to participate. I think that makes him a winner in my book! There was this tiny little second grade boy who made it all the way to round four with the older kids. He was certainly a hero of the day!

1. Hip, I'm proud of Griff too! That must have been tough for him to compete in this type of competition and he's a winner in my book too! Yay Griff!! 2. I woke up with a head cold. I'm hoping it passes quickly. 3. It's a rainy day in SoCal and so with the head cold, this makes it hard for me to want to go into work today...yukie. 4. KayKay beat me to 3 facts. KayKay, I'm sorry you're having a bad day at work and I hope it gets better.
