1. I wish it would snow here. Hopefully we will see at least a dusting this year.

2. I can't believe Cher was in Portland all week....and didn't let me know!

3. My husband and I are going out to dinner tonight with some friends, I can't believe how long it has been since we have been out together, without kids.

4. Jake had a really hard day at school today, I'm hoping it is just because he isn't feeling 100% yet.

5. I can't wait for Thanksgiving, it is one of my most favorite days of the year.

6. I love the smell of the food cooking and just being able to spend a nice relaxing day with my family. So much less hectic than Christmas.

7. Will my kids ever learn to play nice with each other?

8. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

1. My youngest sil, I've known since she was 2 yrs old, sent us an invitation to her wedding. She's having a no hold's bared beautiful traditional wedding (she's been with her db for 8 years, and he's an only child)

2. I called my mil, and told on my dh... I cried. I hope this family can heal. DS's gf are not invited to the wedding (which I totally respect) they werent offended, but they have "other plans" (like finals, and swim meets)

1. Wow it is Saturday again. I still have this darn cold and to top it off I have an eye infection as well - I have started drops for that yesterday and hopefully they will help. May also have to go for over the counter cold crap instead of the herbal stuff since I am not getting rid of it.

2. Kids have swimming and skating today and tonite we are going to our neighbours for a fundraising dinner/pig roast yum yum

3. It is rainy and I know one dd is outside in this...not sure where the other 2 kidlets are...house is too quiet right now

4. Off to read the Saturday paper and get some laundry done {sigh} Have a great day folks!

1. It's yucky here today. Very dark and dismal. And we had such a nice day yesterday, go figure.

2. I heading out shopping today. Hopefully to start my Christmas shopping, but we'll see.

3. I made a fabulous pumpkin dessert the other day. It is soooooooooo yummy! I'll have to share the recipe in the Thanksgiving thread.

4. We had Chinese food last night for dinner and this morning I woke up STARVING. I hate that. My stomach actually hurt, I was that hungry.

5. We have engagement pictures scheduled for Wed. night. I'm a bit peeved over the whole situation, but I won't bore you with my griping, lol. Let's just say these are the "temporary" engagement pictures because "someone" screwed up

1. There, there Froggiegirl....I think you'll still be a beautiful bride-to-be in your "temporary" engagement pictures.

2. Skootz! Take some time for yourself and rest up, drink those fluids and let your body take away those yukies! Get better soon.

3. Today, all three of my kidlets are out of California! It's a wonderful time in their lives and I'm happy for them!

4. I've just finished lurking around the board and making a post here and there. I've also had my morning workout, breakfast with coffee but no shower yet....can you say P-UUUUU??? LOL!

5. So I'm on my way to shower and get dressed for work. Yup, gotta put in a few hours so that when Monday arrives, I won't be going crazy.

6. Tonight I'll get to meet Juju, BigDog, and Rosie for the first time. I'll also get to see Seamonkey again and hopefully/possibly...Pamy and Dylan and Moonie if they can make it after all.
Have a great Saturday Factoids!

1. i'm home! from the concert and my friend's parents, and shopping, birthday party, and last, but certainly not least the bar!

2. the keith urban concert was AMAZING! he is great live, and i think i am even more in love with him now! i actually got goosebumps when he came out into the audience, and i got to be about 100 ft away!

3. i feel like i have been across half the state of missouri in the past 3 days! i am absolutely exhausted. on top of that i don't sleep well when i'm not in my own bed, so i have had minimal sleep.

4. everything was so much fun, though. my friend, her mom and myself spent 7 hours total shopping yesterday. then when we got back to her mom and dad's house we went out to eat with her dad, too, to a mexican place, where her dad ordered a pitcher of frozen margaritas.

5. we left this morning around 10am to go to another friend's baby's first birthday party. we got there a tad bit late, but, that's not uncommon for either of us.

6. i got home around 5 this afternoon, then rested for a bit, and my friend and i then met at our favorite bar for a couple of beers, and people watching.

7. i can barely keep my eyes open typing this out. i will give more concert details tomorrow. i'm too exhausted to go into it now. have a great remainder of the weekend!

1. Good Morning Factoiders!!!! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

2. I haven't posted here in quite a while. Took a little posting hiatus....but I'm back!

3. Work has been real busy these last few weeks. Trying to wrap up two projects that have taken almost a whole year to complete.

4. Last week I ordered a new bed. I've never had a brand new bed in my life. Always antique beds that creak and squeak. Guess what? It looks like an antique!

5. So now I'm going to redo my bedroom. Paint, new bedding, new window treatments, new accessories. Woohoo...project!

6. My new boss was sworn in this last week!!! The main office is ecstatic and harmony is once again part of our lives. The interim prez had made most people's (not mine, thank you Lord) workday miserable.

6. I basically avoided the main office these last few months. Would go in once a week and drop off things and pick up my mail and get the hell out of there. It's nice to be able to go back there.

7. My new mission in life is to get organized. My house has gotten very cluttered and it's also cluttering my mind. So...time to clean out and get rid of things.

8. Time for another cup of coffee.

1. i woke up today actually feeling refreshed
2. i also woke up wanting to eat ice cream for breakfast

3. As some know, this week was the busiest of the year at my work but well worth all the hours and effort.
4. The final dinner on Friday was great with about 40 people all enjoying Kurdish food, music and dance.
5. If you ever see Kurdish dance, you just may think they invented the electric slide :-)
6. Our laureate from Turkey left for home yesterday with his wife - some commented this week that he looks very much like George Clooney - he definitely has Clooney's charm.
7. i wrapped up my week with our last soccer game - where the league combined my team with another in the division above us, who were having the same problems with lack of players - and guess what - we won!!!

8. i am looking forward to playing in the spring - but april is so so far away now.
9. my few hours of rest are almost over now - off to prepare for monday - lets see how much work i can fit into this 3 day work week :-)

Yeah! I get to do 10!

1. I am in Munich. It is snowing! I fell on my knee on the first day and it is stiff.

2. My symposium is over and my presentation went well. There were 80-100 people there and many were famous.

3. Frau Orff bought me lunch on the first day. I was very honored. She is composer Carl Orff's widow.

4. I need to get some more Euros, but I forgot my cash card at the hotel.

5. I missed survivor and will miss both survivor and amazing race this week....somebody please transcribe them!

6. I will go to an organ concert tonight.

7. I went to a modern art museum this afternoon, and saw some Dali's vanGogh's Cesanne's and other modern artists. Very nice.

8. THe first day, I went to the 'old' art museum with two other American#s because they wanted to see the El Greckos. Well, we got to the El Grecko room (That is what it was called) and asked where the El Greckos were....they only had one.

9. That artists name might be El Gecko, but that might be the critter on the Geiko commercials.

10. THis German keyboard is driving me nuts so I have to quit. z and y are switched and there is a row of umlaut characters that mess things up and the punctuation marks are in strange places!

1. Way cool to see a post from Marm!!
YEAH MARM - keep rockin on!!

(Survivor voted out Chad last week, predictable, because he's a threat to win the milllion if he gets that far, what a great personality, and competitor! Ami is still using her power to get the women to do things her way! TAR was in Iceland, lots of teams with annoying yelling, and speeding cars, passing each other, they slept out on a glacier, we believe they had bathroom facilities in a tent!! They voted off the slowest team!! *G)

1. DS and I had words. Not a discussion. He sees nothing wrong. He stayed up to 2 am in his room watching a dvd with his gf, then came downstairs to sleep, dd got up at 6am, so he climbed in bed with his gf, she was under the covers he was on top,

2. I am so angry, because I am so hurt at the lack of disrespect. Everything, everywhere we go kids do push the limits. I wont be able to compose myself and try to explain suttliness to teenagers with blinders on. Having an impression 8 year old you must protect plays into it, but my values, and who I am just got a sucker punch as I feel

1. this is going to be an extra long post, but i had such a great time at the keith urban concert on thursday, i have to tell you guys about it!

2. first of all, the weather in this area has been pretty crappy, and thursday it was pouring rain for most of the time that we had to drive (a total of about 4 and half hours) so we made it to my friend's parent's house around 4:30pm, and the concert was at 7:30, so we hung out for a bit and then got ourselves ready. and when we left at about 10 til 6, guess what? yep still raining. NICE!

3. so we got there around 6:45pm, and had some time to check out the merchandise and get something to drink. then we found our seats, which were decent. they were on the second level in the 4th row. and since the seats were raised stadium, we had nothing obstructing our view. and with my new zoom camera, we could see fairly well. behind us were a whole row of teenage girls, and in front of us, were 2 elderly women. lol! one of the elderly women slept through most of the show. i have no idea how, first of all because the man is HOT! and second of all it was very loud in there!

4. so the girl who opened for keith (katrina elam, i'd never heard of her before) came out and performed, for what seemed like the longest 1/2 hour of my life. she was ok, but let's face it, we were there to see keith. however, her very last song, keith came out and performed with her, sang and played the guitar. the crowd went wild! then they both went backstage after they perfromed and the crew started started to set up keith's set.

5. so finally, at long last he comes out (don't ask me what time it was, it all happened so fast, i have no idea) and he began with "days go by" with the pre-fix of "these are the days". (the same version he sang right before he won male vocalist at the cma's) he was just great. and he sounds the same live as his recordings, which is good, because sometimes people aren't good live, but he was. and he played the hell out of his guitars. at one point he said "how about last that victory last tuesday night?" (cma award), the crowd cheers, and he says "it caught me a little off guard, in case you couldn't tell" lol. so cute!

6. he sang a few songs from his new cd, and before doing one of them he was looking around, and taking it all in, and all of a sudden goes "i'm nervous as hell tonight, i don't know why, but i just thought i'd throw that out there". lol. so cute!

7. a few songs into it he sang "where the blacktop ends" and toward the end of the song he steps down from the stage, into the crowd, and circles the floor, we were in the second level, like i said, and i am hoping my pic of that turns out. omg! i literally had goosebumps. my friend was cracking up at me! so awesome!

8. like i said, the evening just was kind of a blur to me, but some of the highlights, well, he played the guitar for every single song, except one, and he played the piano for that one. and during one song, he actually broke a string from playing so hard! of course he had more than one, so the stage hand brought out another one for him.

9. he also is quite funny! one of his newer songs, "you'll think of me" he added some lyrics to. he sang "take your space and take your (stupid) reasons" and "in fact i feel a whole (hell of a) lot better, but you'll think of me". and there were parts of it he yelled. lol. also during one of his songs he had an audience participation part and was having us echo a whole lot of jibberish stuff and at the very end, had us echo "scooby doo". haha!

10. the highlight of the concert for me was "somebody like you". it is my favorite keith song, and very popular because everyone stood up for that one. it was just great! i'm so glad i got to go, but it went so fast! that's more or less my story. i'm gonna get my pics developed today hopefully, if they turn out i'll post some. thanks for listening. hope i didn't bore anyone too much!

1. I'm going to do I don't know how many just because I feel like it and have some things to say, of course my mind will probably go blank and I'll only do 2.

2. I was supposed to work ot Sat/Sun but yesterday morning I just didn't feel like myself so I stayed home.

3. This morning I didn't feel like getting up and getting dressed and going anywhere.

4. This ticks me off cause I need the money and needed the xtra couple of hours of comp time because I have a dr's appt Tuesday and don't have enough leave to cover it.

5. I took Spike outside and he pood and peed then later he poos again on my carpet.

6. Housebreaking is for the birds and he's now back in his crate and whining. Angel still doesn't like him but he' stopped hiding.

7. Ok I'm done.

1. I'll do 8....no schtickling allowed today...lol!

2. Mocha, I'm thinking about you and my wish is that you'll be feeling like your old self once again.

3. Ddr, what a pleasure to see you again!! I was thinking about you the other day and believe it or not, I was going to send you an email asking where the heck you've been lately. Welcome back!!

4. Reader, put your emotions aside and simply tell your ds what your expectations are for gf visits, otherwise, this will only continue and thus get you very, very upset each and every time. I do know telling him your expectations is harder than it sounds but keep in mind, you are the adult, he is the kid. I'll be thinking of you.

5. Legal and Marm, it sounds like you both are leading wonderfully hectic lives and I'm proud of both of you!

6. Skootz, I hope that you and your kidlets will be feeling better soon. Hugs to all of you!

7. jbeany....one word....keith! i'm glad you got goosebumps....i can hardly wait to see your pics!!

8. And me? I had a nice TVCH dinner with Rosie, Seamonkey, Juju and Bigdog last night. What a pleasure for me to see Sea once again and to meet Rosie, Juju and Bigdog for the first time. Lots of good folks surrounded me last night...yay!

1. It is 4:30 and it's already dark here. That stinks.

2. Last night dh and I went for dinner as the guests of a local restaurant's chef and owner, and we were spoiled rotten. It was fabulous and I got really stuffed. Likely gained 10 lbs. I tried hanger steak for the first time, and had an amazing gingerbread pudding that I'm still craving today.

3. The women in my family are very very difficult to deal with. I spoke with both my mother & grandmother today, and both made me very sad and tired with their complaining, and anger, and meanness and b*tching (for lack of a better term).

4. Both my mom & grandmother tried to make me feel guilty because I am not going home for Thanksgiving. They both complained about what a lousy day it's going to be for them (it'll just be my mom, dad & grandmother together b/c my brother and his family are celebrating with bro's in-laws).

5. No one EVER considers my feelings, EVER. No one ever considers that maybe it might suck for me to be without family on Thanksgiving. Nope, it's all about them.

6. Another thing bugging me? I've been working 14-16 hour days for the past 3-4 weeks. And the women in my life (mother, MIL, grandmother and a good friend) keep complaining to me that I work too hard and that I need to find time to spend time with them, to do things for them, etc. I know they're trying to show their concern for me, but it only adds to my stress. Believe me, if I had a friggin CHOICE, I would NOT be working 14-16 hour days. Trust me.

7. I think it's because my mom & grandmother have always been such difficult, meanspirited personalities* that I have sometimes had a hard time making close friends with other women. (*of course, I love them both and they can be nice, but not all the time...)

8. It was really really cold here today. I wore a hat and a scarf when I went out today, for the first time this season.

9. I am addicted to coca-cola and I really should stop drinking the poison.

Okay, I'll do 10:

1) We are here in Florida visiting with family and friends this week. Returning to a much cooler North Carolina on Saturday......

2) Enjoyed the STEELER game at our favorite watering hole prior to moving to NC. Great to see everyone and see the Steelers beat the Ben-gals. (Albeit, sloppy, at least we won!)

3) Our drive was on 13 hours and 45 minutes. My goodness has Florida changed in the 2.5 years since we moved. I get lost even though I lived here for 16 years!

4) Got a bit of a wake up call today. One of my reports called and said "Are we having a conference call today?" I said, "No, I'm on vacation". Her response, "Yeah, but I know you and you usually work on vacations!" ROT RO!

5) Still being told I look tired all the time. Botox anyone?

6) Going to the mall today and to visit my old stomping grounds!

7) Maggie, JRT, went to my best friends house yesterday and swam in her pool. Maggie loves to swim in the pond at our cabin, and frankly, anywhere there is water -- she's a goner!

8) Got to see my grandparents -- both have had recent health problems. Papap is 94 and Mimi is 89. So cute, but both in failing health. Looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with them.

9) I am addicted to Diet Coke. Add coffee and I say "Breakfast of Champions!"

10) May not be posting much during vacation, but rest assured -- I'm keeping up on all of you!

1. Mornin' y'all! Still cool and rainy, but it's not so bad because I'm at home.

2. Took two days off this week from work, so I have the whole week. Yay!
