1. I am subbing today. 2. For a French teacher. 3. Did I mention? A fact about me: I do not know French. 4. Well, okay, I took it in like 10th grade for a year and I got it all mixed up with Spanish (which I knew when I was younger). 5. I warned the sub coordinator. Apparently they only have one French sub and she's not available Tuesdays or Thursdays. 6. I went to the mall yesterday- got a sweater from American Eagle for $10 and a scarf for $6. I have the same sweater in a minty green...this one is red. The minty one I paid almost $50 for. I love sales. 7. 1001st post!!!!!! heh heh. 8. I had to laugh whan I read the update this morning and it mentioned midgets (GAL)- they were a huge, huge focus of conversation at my work last night.

1. Good morning TVCH!! 2. Good luck to Kaili subbing today 3. I feel much better today. My back doesn't hurt half as much as it did yesterday. 4. I plan on doing some MAJOR shopping this weekend. I hope there are lots of sales. 5. I should be doing lesson plans right now, but I'm putting it off. 6. It's about 100 degrees in my classroom right now. The custodians are working on it. 7. No family drama last night, so I actually had a good night's sleep. 8. "King of Queens" is now my favorite show. 9. Have a great day everyone!!!

1. I think I can do ten today. 2. We took our daughter back to college. The house is already more empty with out her. 3. Our youngest son's college started yesterday. Why am I always so surprised at the price of books? 4. I spent yesterday with future DIL, getting much of her stuff re-organized so we can now walk through our basement and will soon be able to put the car back in the garage. It was a productive day. 5. Future DIL, (for those who don't know, lives with us now) starts her college classes today. She is nervous and excited. I do so hope she has an easy transition and makes new friends. 6. Our oldest son is mostly packed for his deployment. He's finishing up his paperwork and it's a good feeling to have everything settled. 7. We have our first Family Readiness Group meeting tonight. I'll feel better knowing I'll be able to get a handle on what I can do to ease his deployment. 8. Today I start watching our foster son's daughter, Abby. She's 15 months old, I worry about keeping up with her. 9. I'm giving you all a warning, I'm sure to mention Abby in every conversation, I just adore her and can't wait to be part of her daily life. 10. Hugs to all who need them, Pat on the back to all who deserve them.

1. I am tired of arranging for people to come in for job interviews. I am tired of looking at applications from people who aren't even close to qualified for the job. It's a good thing that I don't work in a personel office. 2 I was supposed to go to a conference in Michigan right now, but my body is telling me to stay home and rest and work. It's a good thing that I didn't already pay for it! It's too bad, cause I was looking forward to meeting BabyRuth and a former colleague of mine while there. DANG!

1. I'm doing a Happy Dance with War!! How very awesome you got a good inspector!! 2. My dh comes home tonight and I've really missed him!! 3. The Sussex Spaniel has slipped to 151 out of 154 (last year SSs were 137) breeds in the AKC registry for 2004. Only 45 dogs registered this year. There were a lot of unsuccessful breedings and so many pups that didn't make it through those first two weeks. Hopefully, 2005 will be a better year for them. The UK hasn't had much better luck, either, this year.

{Whew, only 4 facts... I can handle this tonite ) 1. Just home from another long day at the arena. What a wonderful day of competition. The local competitors in the Senior Dance Competition (their first year in the senior rank too) placed 4th in the compulsories. The ladies was so, so..just long and a lot of falls. The pairs short program was next and it was amazing. There are only two spots for pairs teams to go to the world competition so it will be a fight to the podium. The top 7-8 teams all skated really well. We have been lucky and have been able to sit in front row seats all week too! 2. Me, I am doing well, tired tonite and hoping to get some sleep tonite, just to wired I guess by the time I get home to sleep and waking up far too early 3. Tomorrow we are leaving around 9:30 so not too bad, will get kids up and ready for school etc. and then get myself ready and off to the rink for the day. 4. Missing being here, but I do think of you all Have a great evening/Friday

1. TGIF! 2. DS#1 graduates from Power School today and will be driving home for a week. I will be a nervous wreck until he actually gets home. I'm being a mom by making him call home every 4 hours or so while he's on the road and stop to sleep when it gets too dark. 3. DS#2 is in Corsicana for a soccer tournament (he's been there since yesterday morning). The kids are really anxious to do well there because there are supposed to be lots of college scouts in attendance. 4. Unfortunately they did not win yesterday. They weren't supposed to play until 4:30, but because a team didn't show up, they had to play almost 2 hours earlier on no notice so they weren't ready. 5. DD starts softball at 6am Monday morning, and no she's not done with basketball yet ...

1. Egbob and I got back about 30 minutes ago from dropping ds#1 at LAX. 2. Ya know, I was doing really well with saying goodbye until he turned and walked into the terminal....then the tears suddenly appeared. 3. I'm glad he didn't see me cry because he would have done his usual....look at me with those big brown eyes, a smile on his face while shaking his head softly at me....(I'm known for crying...lol!) 4. Last night we met up with all the kidlets and their current steadies and went out to dinner at The Elephant Bar. 5. Afterwards we all went to dd's apartment and I whipped out my camera and took a lot of sibling pictures.....they are a bunch of nuts..LOL!! 6. As I sit here typing my 6th fact, it suddenly dawns on me just how quiet the house is right now. Have a great Friday everyone!

1. TGIF (only next Friday is better - payday!) 2. DS is going to Butler Univ today for "Bassoon Day" May the roads stay clear for his travels today and tomorrow! 3. DD had a school assignment where they had to "create change" in their home routine. DD picked on DS 19, she changed rooms with him at bedtime!! lol, she had more fun telling her brothers what she wanted to do! (I think the teacher is preparing them for yet another change, they changed buildings, and now they'll be changing classrooms, adding 1 more class per grade level!) 4. DH is still figuring on climbing mountains! 5. He finished his resume and is looking for a new job!! 6. I keep telling him to find a company in Colorado, for some reason Colardo seems like the place to be!! 7. My mom says Florida is hiring teachers tho!!

1) I just finished reading "Winter Solstice" by Rosamunde Pilcher, which I enjoyed very much. 2) Now I am befuddled because I can't decided what to read next. 3) My mother just called me to tell me that she has to have a pace maker put in. I don't know how worried I should be and wonder if I should make a trip home to spend some quality time with her. 4) My daughters are at odds with each other and aren't speaking. (sigh) I am doing my best imitation of Switzerland. 5) Hubby is off to Missouri and Lincoln, Ne today...as he says, "He has many miles to go before he sleeps." 6) I am surviving winter without hockey, a feet I had thought utterly impossible. It's amazing the things you can do when you have to. 7) The positive side of no hockey is more reading. 8) Thanks to "Winter Solstice" I am back to drinking coffee in the morning. I hadn't a cup of coffee in four years!, but they all seemed to be enjoying their warm beverages...I decided to join them. The only problem was that I kind of overdid it the first day and had four cups! Hubby said I was still "perky" way past bedtime.

1. i'm so glad it's friday too. long long work week. 2. in june of last year i decided i was seriously going through my goals for life and accomplishing them one by one. 3. Goal 1: i was getting us out of the hellhole of the apartment we were in and upgrading us to first class. COMPLETED. you can see pictures of our gorgeous house somewhere on TVCH, can't remember where. 4. Goal 2: i was getting my husband a new truck, since he'd been driving around his 1986 ranger with 340,000 miles on it, and he needed dependable transportation to job sites. COMPLETED on Wednesday. i bought my husband a new truck this week. (new for him) a 1997 Ford F-150. 5. Goal 3: i am getting me a new car this year. i've been driving that piece of interesting machinery called a 1987 nissan 200sx. ON ITS WAY TO BEING COMPLETED. i am trying to make up my mind , i really like the Chrysler PT Cruiser. 6. Goal 4: house organization. i will not live in clutter, i will have a house to be proud of. 75% COMPLETED. i still have to get a couple of more boxes, that my husband has found, worked out, and we need more bookshelves (AGAIN!). 7. Goal 5: I will lost 100 pounds. STARTED. i joined weight watchers last night. please give me strength oh lord to stay on this program. 8. okay, that's my goals for this life. i figure everything else will fall into place, before i need to set the next set of goals. 9. tonight i have to take holly to a basketball game with her boyfriend. she's being nice to me, since she wants me to take her places. maybe i can also get her to clean her room this way. Happy friday everyone!

1. All those completely thrilled that it's Friday, say AYE! Aye. 2. Why do I always get here when there's TEN facts to be done? I'll do my best. 3. Good job, Landi, on being such a busy beaver. My first goal: finish my coffee, and get out of my pyjamas... what? It's just barely noon! 4. BF has been sick this past week, he's waiting for the swab results from the doc to see if he's got strep or not. Mind you, if it IS strep, he's already more than a week into it, so he's on the downswing now anyways. 5. Me, on the other hand, I woke up this morning with a scratch in my throat, and if what BF had was strep, I'm guessing that's what I'm feeling now. 6. Strep throat will not help me in any interviews I may have next week, so I'm hoping it's not. 7. It finally stopped raining in Vancouver for a while, so I think I need to take a 'meditative walk' to the beach. I've had a lot on my mind and the ocean always seems to wash away the bad stuff. 8. I'm torn between making butter chicken or mock duck for dinner... both are good... guess it will have to come down to which is cheaper. 9. Mary, I feel your pain with regard to the lack of hockey. The only upside I can find to the lockout is that I no longer get that craving at 4:30 on a Saturday afternoon for a beer. But I miss the competition between BF and I over our teams (I cheer for the Canucks, he cheers for the Leafs) 10. Happy Weekend, everyone! Make it a good one!

1. I'm in a much better mood today than the last time I posted. Got all the band director candidates scheduled for interviews, and I'm making a yummy smelling pot roast. Only negative for the day was that my grad student was burned last night. Post in my new thread about burns if you have any insight on this. TGIF!!!!

01. I WON 30 of my containers. The other auction doesn't end until Monday. I still need about 50 more Stage 2 Gerber Plastic Containers. If anyone is feeding out of them, and would like to earn a few bucks, please let me know.
02. Kathy, one of my Mom's friends, sent Speckle her own self-heating thermal pad on which to sleep. (For Christmas, I had purchased 2--one for each of the boys, and she felt that unfair to Speckle). She's having fun playing on it:
03. JBean, when we replaced our carpet in the house, we looked for a color that was close to the color of cat vomit. We found one, and it was great. So easy to clean up. Now they actually give us enough warning that we can get a newspaper under them in time. 04. My art area is progressing nicely--but I still have a lot of work to do on it. But all things in time. 05. I did two altered book spreads, and they can be seen here.

1. lol about the cat vomit-colored carpet, lkunkel. btw, your girl is gorgeous! lucky for me, i live in an apartment, so it is their carpet that she is ruining. (that's what the $200 pet deposit was for, right?) 2. puppy, you have a new kitty? boy, that sounded funny. 3. i am SO GLAD that this work week is over. work was not good today. 4. puppy, i think we had the same weather...it was 65 degrees here yesterday (and gorgeous), today i think it was in the 40's and tomorrow it's supposed to be colder than hell (again). very odd for january (the warm part, that is). 5. i joined a pot we have at work for the upcoming survivor. we drew names of survivor contestants and whoever drew the winning contestant's name in the end will win $80, and the runner up's nameholder will win $20. lol. i drew the girl who is my namesake. kinda funny, of all the people, i drew her name. she is a nanny, so how cut-throat could she be? ....just sayin'. 6. i need to go dry my hair before it does it on it's own and looks like crap! 7. less than 2 weeks til texas! woo hoo!

01. Puppy: it was a rusty terra-cotta color. It cleaned up great. 02. Also, pick up some Out! It cleans stains really well--we use it on the apartment carpet. 03. JBean, yup that's what the pet deposit is for. But we still try to keep it up. 04. Tomorrow I will spend most of the day working on the art area. 05. I need to find more baskets and clear containers. I'm trying to avoid circular-type containers; they take up more space than the square ones. 06. I still need to hoof it over to Office max for the file folders to hold on to my pictures and paper ephemera. 07. It was a productive day on the craft area; I just pleased with how much I accomplished. 08. I keep dozing off as I write this, so it's time for bed.

1. HOwdy all! 2. Holy crap is it ever cold here in SW Ontario tonite again....have no idea of temp or wind child but it is d&^% cold! 3. Back from another day at the Skating Nationals. Today was absolulty horrific on the rink. Out of all the skaters we saw today, only about 4 of them skated cleanly. How sad is that. 4. However on the plus side, the senior lady who won the even skated a world class flawless program that would deserve podium finish at the worlds. Way to go Joannie Rochette 5. I am getting less and less sleep everynight and I am more tired and tired everynight. I do hope that tomorrow night is a bit earlier than the last few 6. We are expected to get a snow storm starting sometime overnight into tomorrow...6" or snow or more..hope we can make it to the rink before it starts 7. how many facts do I have to do. 8. Oh yes, 8 - I guess I am done now...night all and I miss everyone..back in full force again Monday {{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}} 9. Crap...got beaten to 8 so this is my ninth fact...GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD NIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!

1. I should have my butt in bed right now. 2. Haven't been to bed before 1am any day this week. 3. It's made getting up early in the mornings horrible, lol. 4. I have to be at the park in about 8 hours to sign the kids up for little league. 5. We were kind of iffy about signing the kids up this year. 6. Caleb hasn't been too enthusiastic about it. Kota told us she wanted to play, then didn't mention it again. 7. Earlier this week she asked when she was starting and that yes she wanted to play. 8. He said his friend is playing so he wants to. I already told him, if not baseball he was going to have to chose something to play. If he had his way about it, he'd spend all his free time playing computer games, and while I think it's great he enjoys that and understands computers better than I do, he's not going to spend all day in front of one. 9. My sis is going to have the kids over tomorrow night for a sleep over (guess that'd be tonight!) I'm going to keep her kids next Saturday so they can go out and celebrate her birthday. Her birthday is actually Friday, but my 5 year old neice has planned a suprise party. Doesn't seem to phase her at all that she had to ask her mom to dial everybody's phone numbers so she could invite them to the suprise party or that she asked mommy for money to buy a cake, lol. It's still a suprise! 10. Darren and I are going to have our first date night in at least 4 months. Family has been through some rough times and we haven't had anyone who could watch the kids just for fun. Right now everyone is healthy and feeling pretty good, so we're going to take advantage of it, let the kids spend time with their cousins, and me and Darren, and sis and bil have some quiet time, which they especially need.
