1. LOL, Kstme, interesting...in an out there kind of way. All of the guys she's dated since step dad passed have seemed decent enough, and she's having fun and happy which is the most important thing. But, I keep comparing them to step dad.

2.I figure as long as she's happy it's all good. Though there are still times I am shocked when she brings someone over who's not step dad.

3. I missed going to Disneyland, but am glad we didn't go today. The weather was perfect, but Kota is not feeling well at all. She's at that stage where she doesn't feel good enough to do much of anything, yet doesn't feel lousy enough to lay down. She was shooting off some major attitude today. Would have been a miserable trip if we'd gone, I think.

4. We spent the day playing with the kids. Had fun too. Sometimes its nice to have nothing else to do.

5. Darren pulled out all the Christmas decorations. We plan to do all that tomorrow. I've been trying to decide what to do with my nativity set. LOL, last year I sat it on an end table and Dakota spent the holiday season playing with it. By the time she was done the wise men were on top of the manger, there was a shark sitting in the middle of it, and a hot wheels car. I think I'll leave it in the same place this year, she had fun last year with it and at least it didn't just sit there collecting dust for a month, LOL.

6. The last couple of nights we've had bad winds. My front and back yards are covered in leaves. The front yard doesn't suprise me much, I usually collect leaves from my trees plus most of my neighbors out there, but rarely have to rake up the back yard!

7. I've done all of the research for my class project. Now I have to put it all together, and type out the bibliography and I'll be done. I figure it's about an hour to two of work, though I'll wait til Monday when the kids are in school. Darren has his own project for work to do this week, so I think that will be a good time for both of us to get it done.

1. Morning all factoiders..

2. Love reading about everyones holiday adventures.

3. I have diagnosed my eyes as having allergies. I am figuring it is from the dust coming up from the furnace. I had the same infection that started around the same time last year. Except this year is much worse.

4. I have booked a company to come and clean our duct work on Wednesday afternoon

5. I really hope that this solves the problem because I would have no other clue as to what is causing the problems with the eyes

6. DH and I went out last night to a neighbours surprise party. I went to bed around 12:30, and feel today like I went to bed around 3:30. I have been awake off and on since 6 am...(normal weekday wake up time) Kids have swimming and skating lessons today..it is going to be a long day :-)

7. We had a trace of snow on thursday, it was cold yesterday morning and now it is dull, rainy and above freezing.

8. Even though it was not the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday this week, I am very thankful for all my TVCH friends.

3. We had a great time. DH enjoyed meeting my extended family.

4. I've been shopping like a MAD woman.

5. Woke DH up at 6:30 am to hit the early bird specials the day after Thanksgiving.

6. He's still grumpy and complaining about it LOL.

7. I'm not even close to being finished with my Christmas shopping, but I'm happy I'm off to a great start.

1. DS#2 just called me from LAX. He's just landed from Dallas, where he had a layover from Indiana.

2. Egbob and DD went to pick him up just now.

3. When they come home, we're all going out to dinner with the in-laws.

4. My favorite sister and her family left for their home in Lemoore around 2pm today.

5. As soon as they left, I went into work to meet up with a group called "Festive Singers" who wanted to volunteer their entertainment craft to our patients and staff.

6. They were a troupe of adults who sang and danced kind of in a jazzy tempo of Christmas music. It was well received by our patients and a few staff members.

7. Last night I saw "The Grudge" with my sisters and nieces (nieces choice obviously...lol!). My throat is sore from screaming so much throughout this obnoxious film. I can't believe I paid $9.00 to see it...ugh!

8. I'm dying to see "Ray" and I'm hoping Egbob and I can see it tomorrow!

9. My hair desparately needs a cut and color!

10. It's now raining in Southern California

1. It never rains in southern California. However, it did rain twice in the 5 days we were there in October. Another myth dispelled!

1. eggie, i can't believe you paid $9 to see that awful movie either (my $5.50 was too much, imho). but i have to say it made me laugh more than it made me scared.....think burping. lol

2. just got back from the longnecks and rednecks show at our favorite bar. it was jeff carson, wade hayes and brian mccomis (i can only remember that because it rhymes with nakomis....lol). they were all pretty good, but kind of a short show! good times! :-)

1. Eyes are still bugging, but not to the intensity they were at the beginning of the week. I looked into our pharmacy having Opcon A and they have it..don't know why they didn't recommend it this past week to me when I really needed. I will be picking up this morning.

2. Drawing a blank of what else to give a fact about

3. So it is a good thing I only have to do three

1. Up early this morning to take Herc on his last walk through Carousel Park and Equestrian Center in Delaware before heading back home to CT.

2. Unfortunately, it rained again, which will mean a muddy walk.

3. We all went to Chesapeake City in MD last night (in the rain) to have the crab feast Ed's been dreaming of since he missed it this summer due to his surgery.

4. The crabs were okay--too salty(besides Old Bay, these had salt poured on . . . probably to help you drink more beer) though, but the company was lovely (Loupup and my mom) and we had a wonderful time! And that completed our ritual of celebrating all 4 of our birthdays at once!!

1. Quiet day here except for the wind and rain.

2. Daughter's company is offering good Christmas discounts through Dell so she has been helping me shop for a computer...fun!

3. Niece is back in Boston and working in downtown Boston this morning...the reason she had to return a bit early.

4. We all went out for supper last night before she hopped on board the bus. Good old juicy hamburgers...thank goodness it wasn't turkey! I'm all done with turkey for another 6 months at least.

5. Heading off for a nice afternoon nap where visions of computers, printers, fax machines, digital cameras, and pocket djs will dance in my head.

1. Christmas is in the air here! I've had holiday music playing throughout the house since I woke up.

2. Yesterday we took down all our "harvest" decor and carried all my Christmas decor boxes down from the attic...all 8 of them! I had no clue I had so much stuff.

3. So today I'm in clean and decorate mode. I'm about 1/2 way done already, not too bad!

4. Steve is out helping his friend do some work on an apartment building he just purchased. I'm hoping when he gets back he'll still be up to decorating the tree, but I highly doubt it.

5. Last year we had the tree up and decorated the day after Thanksgiving, so I feel a bit behind.

6. I still need to head up to Lowe's to get my live wreaths and swags to do the outside, but I think I'll do that one day later this week.

1. Yesterday was the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert in Kansas City.

2. They blew me away!! Unbelievably Great!!

3. I just discovered the 'sounds of the season' music channel on my digital cable - whaaa hooo Chritmas Music - and NO commericals!

4. It is too COLD out today.

5. The sun has gone back into hiding.

6. The weather people are talking SNOW again. I'm not ready for more snow.

7. I don't want to go back to work tomorrow. I want four more days off. whaaaaaaaaaa.

1. I got home at midnight last night. Due to massive jet lag, I was wide awake at 4 am!

2. That was a good thing, since I played 2 church services at two different churches on organs I had not played before, with no time to practice before church.

3. Everything went well, except I played the wrong hymn (26 instead of 25) at the Lutheran service. I realized it after I was too far into it to change. Most of the people sang the one that I played. Oh, well!

4. Cat wasn't mad at me for being gone, but seemed happy to see me.

5. My plane was delayed over an hour because there was a handicapped boy on the plane and they had to get a specialized box for his wheelchair. I just slept, but the guy behind me was agitated. SHEEESH, he didn't have to drive over 2 hours after landing to get home, and play for church in the morning.

6. I'm getting really sleepy right now!

7. I'm glad that I can watch my reality shows this week!

8. I bought TWO turkeys for 29 cents per pound. Total for both was just under $7.00. I should go to Germany during Thanksgiving more often....the prices on turkey are certainly better AFTER Thanksgiving.

1. I didn't get my C'mas decorations out yesterday or today!

2. This will be a good project for tomorrow!!

3. The pups are being groomed by us now.

4. It took me two hours to do Ollie and Mags yesterday. DH gave them their showers...yes!!

5. They no longer have long coats. They are stripped down and look like Sussex now.

6. This was done a month and half ago...now I have to keep it up.

7. I definitely talk about my dogs tooooooooo much!

8. I agree, War...as long as your Mom is happy, that's what's important!!

9. I doing an old-fashioned oven pot roast tongiht. It's cold out and it smells so good!

1. Welcome home Marm! Are you staying for awhile this time or headed back out again?

2. We didn't get Christmas decorations up this weekend either.

3. I want to clean the living room carpet first and the back yard was still wet from Saturday's rain today. I'd rather not have muddy dog prints and kid prints across the floor right after I clean it, lol.

4. Hopefully tomorrow we will be able to do it. Kids are looking forward to decorating the tree.

5. Pup stories are like kid stories, there's never too many!

6. It's been so nice having Darren home. Also kind of weird at this point, I can't remember the last time he had this much time off work!

7. I think Harvey, our pup, is going to take him going back to work worse than the kids and I will, lol. He's been right on Darren's heals this past week and enjoying the heck out of all the extra attention he's been getting.

8. It has gotten really cold here. I went out earlier this evening and it was icy cold. I'm missing summer badly.

9. My youngest neice will be spending all day Thursday with us. i say this everytime she comes over, I really enjoy spending time with all of my neices and nephews, but she is usually the happiest baby that she is a joy to have around.

10. Darren has spoiled me by taking the kids to school this past week. I'm so off my schedule I'm afraid next week I won't be able to motivate myself to get going in the mornings, lol.

1. Happy belated Thanksgiving, everyone - I hope your holiday weekend was fun and restful;

1.5 Still not ready for Christmas here, even though we're getting blasted with Christmas music and commercials from every side;

1.7 Just got back from a week in Mexico with Colossus, his sister and her boyfriend. I used to be Goddessatlaw; after watching me out a completely rude waitress then wrap myself like a tamale in a beachside hammock with only my dark glasses peeking out, my fellow travelers decided I was "Kim-ale the Yukatwat." Gotta go change my screen name . . .

1. I decided to start my holiday decorating since so many here have shared their enthusiasm with me. (I guess it's not just sick bugs that get passed through the facts thread.)

2. Stripped my living room to make room for all the decorations, dusted, (it's dusty already, didn't I just do this room?), went to the basement to bring up my boxes of Christmas spirit, ACK!!!! My husband cleaned the basement and put all the boxes so far out of my reach that I'd need help to carry the ladder just to get them down.

2.1 Sitting here, laughing at my bare naked house and listening to Christmas songs on the radio.

1. It's snowing! It is supposed to continue until tomorrow.

2. I am very sick. I barely got the shampoo out of my hair before I bailed out of the shower. I nearly passed out! After laying on the bed for a while, I feel a little better. I've lost nearly 5 pounds in the last week - over Thanksgiving, no less. That's pretty sick.

3. I cannot miss anymore work, so I'm getting ready now. I don't anticipate this will be the funnest day of my life. <sigh>

1. GAL...can we shorten it to Yuka? I just can't bring myself to call you Yukatwat.

2. Secret, you made my morning with that visual! You are no taller than an elf and you are just as much fun as one...LOL!! I hope dhSmirk gets home to help bring down the decorations.

3. Spygirl, I really feel for you. It's the final push to Winter Break and I realize that you need to be at work. However, please think about your health as well. I'll be thinking about you and hoping for the best. Take care.

4. War, is it windy your way? The wind blew here all weekend but gosh, the day is gorgeous and I can see the whole mountain range with the snow capped peaks! Very pretty day today!

1. Daughter moved into her new place this weekend with her Dad's help. It's another third floor walk up...so no easy task.

2. They no sooner got the last load up the stairs and inside when it started to snow!

3. Then Dad took her shopping to replace some of the things that were stolen while her things were in storage. They got some great deals...the best of which was a beautiful custom made rocker/recliner for $25.00 from the Goodwill store which just happened to be having a half off on all furniture sale.

4. What was I doing you ask? Well, I was all comfy, cozy back at home cross stitching and watching Christmas movies on tv! Sometimes having a sore back comes in handy!

5. I am getting into the Christmas spirit early this year. I have even bought one gift so far! I am ahead of last year's schedule!

1. I somehow managed to get sick over the holiday and it hasn't been fun. I haven't been this sick in years.

2. Luckily, we were at my parents house so I was able to spend alot of time laying around.

3. I did manage to drag my self out of bed the day after Thanksgiving to go shopping with my mom, sister and niece. It has become a tradition for us and I wasn't going to miss it.

4. They live in a small town so the highlight is hitting the sock sale at Fred Meyer! Although they do have a Wal-Mart now and a small mall.

5. I really didn't want to get up today, but it's not like a stay-at-home mom can call in sick!

6. The nice thing about being sick on Thanksgiving is that I didn't over eat. If anything, I actually lost weight!

1. I've been shopping every day for the past 4 days.

2. I'm very happy that I've been shopping every day for the past 4 days.

3. It's great to see all the decorations and hear the holiday music in the stores.

4. I'm really getting into the Christmas spirit this year.

5. Hope Skootz's allergy eyes are getting better.

6. I also hope Jewels has a better health day tomorrow.

7. See you all in the morning :-)

7.1 thanks OMP eyes are a bit better but still really red, I don't have as much pain as I did before. Ducts (in my house not my eyes :-) ) are getting cleaned on Wednesday and I hope that solves the problem
