1. Spygirl! You are an amazing woman! I am honored to have gotten the opportunity to get to know you better and watch you blossom into the glorious flower that you are today! You are so special, as witnessed by the wealth of friends that you have. It always surprises me to see the wonderful people at TVCH laughing together, crying together, supporting each other through all the things that this crazy life throws at us! I guess it shouldn't surprise me, but it does! I've said it before but it bears repeating!
TVCH ROCKS!

1. Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable Happy New Years!!!!! Thanks to all for sharing your lives with me and giving me such joy and entertainment this past year. One of my resolutions for next year is to make at least ONE TVCH meet!

2. I'm also very thankful today purely for selfish reasons....my engine light came on in my car. Brought it in to the dealership and the problem is covered under the warranty! Woohoo!!!!

1. Spy, you have such a lovely way of expressing your sentiments! You will always be my Cosmo buddy and I'm hoping to be an honorary Auntie Eggie to all 6 of your future kidlets!!

2. I'd like to thank all my Factoid friends for allowing me to come here and share special facts that happen in my life. And in turn, I have come to enjoy learning bits and pieces about you and your loved ones and I thank you for sharing of yourselves in this wonderful thread.

3. Happy New Year Factoids!

1. I am in Washington DC.

2. Until this morning (I was lucky and US Air was still in business today, surprisingly haha) I was in NYC since Monday without internet access, which was very odd for me! We did many touristy things with my partner and his 11-year-old son.

3. I head back west on Sunday, and then back to DC again next Thursday.

4. I will be staying in DC until the end of January/first week of February. After I am a little more settled (next week), I hope to be posting more regularly -- including in the 2004 (5!) workout thread, and I hope others join me and the gang there.

1. Geez,Spy making people across the country cry. What a wonderful post! thinking of buying a leash for the wedding

2. We did a little birthday party for my brother in law tonight. Had no candles,so had to use sparklers for the cake.

3. We went out and did our semi-annual fireworks show. We aren't in the city limits,and my neighborhood goes absolutely insane every year. It's a lot more fun than going out on the roads.

4.Happy New Year all my friends!!!!

1. It's almost midnight here in my neck of the woods and I am sitting here playing around in TVCH!

2. We haven't gone out on New Year's Eve in ages, and find it pleasant just staying at home.

3. I think Ddr and Yankee should make plans to meet the rest of us in Fort Worth in February (3, 4, 5)

4. Spy, I feel the same way about you.

5. Happy New Year Factoid friends

1.Happy New Year to ALL!

2. DH and I went out to dinner and then saw the movie THE AVIATOR. Very interesting!

3. We made it home just a few minutes before 12. He is asleep already.

4. At work, I wrote tons of checks for 12/31/04. Check the mail and there are more bills. They never end, do they?

5. Here we go again. We are opening a new store called Oriental Express. We have 30 days to do everything inside. I already hired the painter and his job is done. We have ordered showcases and the slat walls. Yesterday I special ordered the counter top and the carpet. Our contractor was suppose to work tonight and he took off in our van and went home early. We had to go get the van because he does not have a license to drive (He took off without our permission.) We will be lucky if he is not passed out drunk for the rest of the weekend now.

1. Sniff, pass the kleenex, bawling in Southern Cali going on. Spybaby, I feel the same way!

2. I can't begin to explain how awesome I think all tvch'ers are (or maybe I can cuz I know I'm not the only one to feel this way.) Ya'll are an amazing group of people, and I feel lucky to be able to share a little bit of your lives, and mine with you. Here's hoping 2005 is a wonderful year for everyone!

3. We had a fun day today. Took the kids to see The Incredibles, it was a great movie! We all enjoyed it. Then we brought the kids home and made them take naps so they could stay up late. When they woke up, we ate dinner, and played games together for a few hours before settling on the couch to watch all the New Years festivities. Both kids managed to stay up til midnight (though Caleb was barely clinging there at the end, lol.) Soon after I tucked them and Darren into bed and they were all asleep before I turned off the hall light.

4. Sis called earlier to tell me they were having bils brothers, sisters and all the spouses and kids over tonight and wanted to know if we'd join them. Deal was though, if you went, you had to spend the night, drinking or not. That way they'd not have to worry about anyone trying to leave later. We decided not to go because we both knew no one would be sleeping at all tonight, lol. They called awhile ago to sing to me, and wish a Happy New Year. Too funny, I'm not sure all of them were even singing the same song.

5. Mom was staying home tonight, and bils mother and uncle are at his house, they both called to say Happy New Years earlier tonight. At least tonight, I can go to bed knowing where my entire family is and that they are all safe and sound. I feel very blessed with that.

6. We had a major downpour this morning. When I got up and saw the street flooded yet again, and looked around the house and realized we had no leaks, I almost sobbed! Even the mere mention of the word "rain" has brought me to a panic the last few days, and for the first time since all these storms hit, I could sit back and enjoy the rain and be thankful we were getting it since we really do need it. Darren and bil did an awesome job sheeting up the roof the other day.

2. DD just woke up, did she smell the food?

3. DS is still sleeping, he rung in the New Year with his gf's family tradition, they're from Russia, I cant wait to hear all about it. I got up at 5:30AM and he wasnt home yet.

4. DS 19 went with his buds to Ohio. He's not answering his cell. Last night we got a collect call that didnt come thru. great. who? where? why? dont know.

5. Must take down the Christmas tree today. Must take down the tree, must...

6. Yesterdaay I started the cleaning. Went to laundry, all the sheets, comforters, etc. It is time to put the flannel sheets on the beds. That and Oprah reran her dust mite show... and everybody must've seen it, they were ALL at the laundramat - I did 9 loads

7. Then decided I'm tired of using a towel to clean the ceilings and corners of webs and dust... so I bought one of those dust swiffers... dd had the most fun swiffering!!

1. Happy New Year Factoids! It's 2005...wow!!

2. On this day 20 years ago I gave birth to my last kidlet. He is in Lake Tahoe with his girlfriend and her family for a ski trip, so we'll have to celebrate after he gets back home.

3. I watched the Tournament of Roses Parade this morning and I saw my nephew!

4. My nephew was a member of the Los Angeles School All City Marching Band and he played the quads once again. He was in this parade last year as well.

5. As I was watching the parade, I also was nursing a minor hangover. A bowl of menudo and some corn tortillas took the headache away...yay!!

6. Yes, last night Egbob, ds#1 and I went to a house party with our friends and some of their college aged kidlets.

7. My girlfriends and I drank Cosmos, thus the reason for the mild hangover this morning.

8. Our hostess prepared a feast for our dinner, so we did eat first and then started on the Cosmos...yum!

9. We played a "guys vs gals" Trivial Pursuit and there were 10 players on each side. We all had fun and I'm sure drinking those Cosmos and beers made us LOL even more than usual.

10. I just took a look around the family room and the Christmas decorations need to come down. Catch you all later!

1.1 War, I'm so glad your home stayed dry!!! whoohoo!!!!

1.2 Have I mentioned I ran into a door, right side of my head at full force, on Christmas morning? It turned into a purple eye two days ago!! I still have the lump above my right eye, too and now the whole eye is swollen. Sheesh, it's been a week, it should be GONE!!

1.....Eine Glucklisches Neue Jahr aus München! (Happy New Year from Munich...I probably screwed up the grammar on that one!) I posted about the first part of the trip in the road trips thread!

2. There is free wireless internet here at this hotel! YIPPEE! Too bad my room is too far away and I have to sit in the breakfast room, but maybe I'll meet some people this way. I'm so glad that I can use my own computer for the wireless, as I didn't get my plane tix booked for Spy's wedding!

I can only saw Bravo and Ditto to Spy's long post! I really think of all y'all as true friends!

1, Happy 2005! Here's a toast that it is a better year than 2004!

2. I was wrong and I am glad I was wrong! Our contractor was up and ready to go to work at 9 this morning.

3. DH and I went to Barnes and Nobles. We had coffee drinks and ordered some of the merchandise for the new store.

4. He then took over at Scrapping and DD and I went shopping at the mall. I can not believe that the mall closed at 6 today. People were everywhere walking around at closing.

5. All our stores now close at 6 for Jan and Feb. Yeah! I can have a life now! We were open til 9 every night. DH could have closed at 6, but he had about 20 people in the store at 6 so he stayed open later.

1. Happy New Year! I know I don't post all that much, but I do keep tabs on everyone so I feel like I know you all. For that, I wish EVERYONE a wonderful 2005, may it bring you everything you wish for.

2. Well, the tree is down, decorations put away and my house is almost back to normal. I'm sad. I loved Christmas this year, it was one of the best ever. I hated to see it end.

3. I am wondering how many business Knightpatti has? It always seems like she is talking about a new one!

4. We took the kids intertubing up at Mt. Hood last week. They LOVED it. Hopefully I will get some pictures posted soon.

5. We also took them to the Zoo lights at the Oregon Zoo. It was an amazing display. We also got to ride on the train around the zoo and look at the lights. Fun. Fun. Fun.

6. I am ready for Monday to come. My husband has been on vacation for 2 weeks and Jake has been out of school. I'm ready to get back on our schedule again.

7. If anyone has any low-salt recipes....please see my request in the recipe thread! Thanks!
