7.3 Okay Nick, now I know your just kidding or just jealous because my boss is gone from the office a lot.

Since you posted your picture, yes I saw it. I'll post mine. This is an awful department picture we had to take a couple weeks ago. One of the girls in the picture is me.

Now apologize for calling me mental.

7.4. Oh, you know I'm just kidding...You're no more mental than I am. Which one? You really didn't have to post your pic just because I did. Heck, I wasn't even sober...

2. i also did my treadmill workout.

3. today i hurt like hell. :-( pretty much my whole body, but my legs and shoulders the worst.

4. did you all know that my boyfriend keith urban won male vocalist of the year at the CMA's last night? yep. i love him even more now, because he seems so humble.

5. did i mention i will be seeing him in concert next week. swoon...

6. i bought shania twains greatest hits cd today. there are extra words on this version of that don't impress me much. it's cracking me up...."okay, so you're tarzan? maybe captain kirk......john wayne.....whatever" LOL

7. my friend april came to town today for a dr appointent (she's pregnant) and i got to see her briefly at the mall.

8. it seems like any and everytime i get to see her, her husband always has to be involved, or cut it short everytime. GRRRR oh well, as long as she's happy, right?

1. ct scan on sinuses took 5 -10 minutes.

2. YAY no contrast.

3. then I got to drive into the city in the pouring rain.

4. and i was driving in heavy traffic.

5. and thanks to time change it was dark.

6. that combination of rain/dark/traffic always makes me clausterphobic.

7. I did make it in time to have dinner with my friends before the meeting.

8. I had pasta vegetali - whole wheat penne pasta, red sauce, broccolli, onions, mushrooms, zuchinni and had them add chicken. (macaroni grill)

9. This more or less kept me on track for weight watchers core tonight!! yay.

WARNING!! I took schtickler rights and this is a very, very LONG post!!

1. I took my field trip with a girlfriend to see a taping of "Dr. Phil".....but don't tell Spy. Shhhhh....

2. My girlfriend and I caught the bus at a Curves in Redondo Beach. The bus was really nice and comfy and it was nice not to drive in the early morning freeway traffic into Hollywood from Redondo Beach.

3. The bus took us right to the gate at Paramount Studios and we lined up and went through a security check. No cameras, cellphones, or Dr. Phil books allowed in. They actually bagged and labeled all confiscated items to be picked up after the show taping. I came prepared and so they didn't take a thing from me...yay!

4. After going through the security check we lassies were rounded up and herded to the bench seating outside the actual studio. It was freezing out there!! I found the ladies room and was never so happy in my entire life!! Whew!!

5. There were studio yuppies/preppies with clipboards that had us sign away our rights on a blue sheet of paper. They then herded us into the "Blue Room" of the studio. My girlfriend and I named it the "Blue Room" because the tall/long floor-to-ceiling curtains were royal blue and it was absolutely freezing in there!! Teeth chattering freezing!! See your breath freezing!! Freeze your @$$ off freezing!!

6. The studio yuppies/preppies did their yadda-yaddas and made us laugh and feel good about sitting in the freezer while waiting to be seated in the actual studio located behind the royal blue curtains.

7. We were offered hot coffee, which when poured into the paper hot cups, turned lukewarm immediately. Then the moment of truth came...they called out groups of numbers from the blue sheets and we were led into the actual "Dr. Phil" studio! It was 1 degree warmer in there. And actually, with the studio lighting, it did warm up and feel very comfortable for the taping of the show. I could feel the tip of my nose once again!

8. We were given the low down on how to yell and clap, how to ignore the camera that may be put into your face for close ups while Dr. Phil is speaking with his guests, and how not to scratch your nose, cough, sneeze, or make sudden movements as you may be filmed in the background while someone is getting their close up shots.

9. The production staff was efficient! I loved watching how they set the stage, moved the cameras and keep the audience entertained....all while wearing their winter coats, hats and gloves...no lie! They entertained us by seeing who could yell the loudest or clap the loudest and they gave away sets of Dr. Phil's books to the winners. I didn't even try to compete against these wild and crazy people!!

10. Then the music came on and the screen was lifted and there stood Dr. Phil!! We all stood up to yell and clap and clap and clap and clap....and yell some more. Then Dr. Phil gave us the sign to be seated and he waved at us. Then the production crew put the chairs into place, sat a woman in one, miked her....zip-zap-zoom. Dr. Phil sat on his chair, making adjustments to his suit and tie...then he leaned over and quickly shook hands with the woman and I could read his lips saying "nice to meet you".

10.1 The show was titled "Stage Moms" (if I remember correctly). It will air Nov. 29th. There were 3 segments covering these subjects: a 4y/o beauty pageant contestant; a little girl who attends numerous auditions to seek that one break into showbiz and twin girls who currently have a role in "Reba". The first segment guest was a woman from Texas who has a 4 y/o daughter named Reagan and she has been in 50+ beauty pageant. The second guests were a married couple from northern California. The mom basically was made to be the "bad mom" for driving her daughter to LA (an 8 hour drive) for auditions and she was spending all the family income to try to get her daughter into showbiz. During this segment, we got to hear from an audience member, former child star Paul Peterson (I think of the Donna Reed Show??). Paul gave some sage advice to the mom and the audience clapped alot for Paul's advice. The third segment had parents from Las Vegas of twin 4 year olds daughters who currently star in "Reba" as one child (they switch out the role according to how they are responding that given day of shooting).

10.2 Overall, it was a fun experience and yes, my girlfriend and I were filmed for one of those close ups, however, we'll probably be edit out because I started picking my nose. Okay, not really, but ya never know how they edit these shows, right? My girlfriend was wearing a light green sweater with black trim and I was wearing a red mock turtleneck sweater and red blazer. If you know what I look like, you'll recognize me I'm sure.

1. I was just sitting here thinking I needed to go to bed...then I remembered that the kids are out of school for the next two days and I may get to sleep in if they do.

2. We've got a bunch of stuff planned to do while they are out of school. I like them being on a traditional school schedule, but I don't get enough fun days with them now. We'll probably spend some time cleaning their rooms and working on Caleb's science project and Kota's disguise a turkey so he's not eaten project. But, most of our activities over the next couple days will be fun stuff.

2.1 Eggie, glad you and your friend had fun today! Does the episode air right away or will it take awhile for it to be shown?

2.5 Darren found out yesterday his conference about his interview is next week. Doesn't mean a thing cuz everyone who interviewed has to have a conference with the interviewers. He's trying so hard not to be nervous about it.

1. Morning all, today I am travelling to my moms place (well it is only 1 hour away)Just me and my youngest dd, the other 2 are in school. I will also see my brother who leaves Monday for Costa Rica for 6 months.

2. I was hoping to stop by and see my grandma, she officially turns 98 on Tuesday, however I have a cold and don't want to go to the nursing home she is at as they have already had a flu outbreak :-( So I will send her a note and card for her birthday

3. Sounds like you had a fun and freezing day Eggie..cannot wait until the show airs...You will have to post closer to that date to remind us the show date and what you and your friend were wearing.

1. Sounds like you had a great time Egbok! I'm going to be looking for you on the 29th.

2. Happy early b-day to Skootz's grandmother!!

3. We had a wonderful Veteran's Day assembly at school today. It was great seeing all the veterans that came out to be recognized.

4. Today is the last day of school this week. We have tomorrow off. I'm so excited to sleep in a little.

1. My cat found my Magic Eraser in the linen closet last night. How he got in there I'll never know, but needless to say, the eraser is ruined!

2. I spent a good part of my morning try to clean up all the little pieces of that sponge-like stuff. It kept flying all over the place, kind of like styrofoam.

3. Ever since Max's surgery he's been acting all crazy. Running around like a nut, knocking things down, trying to eat my goards and mini-pumpkins... just driving me insane!

4. Maybe he misses his Dad? Steve will be home tomorrow night from his week-long business trip to Michigan.

5. I miss him too...

1. i realized at 8:30am that banks are closed today - which means i didnt have my usual way to get quarters for the parking meters at work.

2. i rush to the ATM and got $20.

3. I went to the grocery store and got dr pepper as a way to ask also for $4 in quarters

4. miracle - no traffic and i still got to dupont circle at 9:35, exactly when i need to get here each day for parking

5. Nightmare - traffic jam AT Dupont - i drive for almost 2 hours, just feet from my office, with no parking, and traffic not moving at all -

6. i finally settle on a parking garage at 11:15 - i tell them until 4pm and i have to pay $11 which is exactly what i had on me, left from the ATM

7. i didnt think that veteran's day meant not paying the meters too and so people park anywhere

8. still cant figure out why 19th street, at Dupont circle, was logged jammed for hours this morning

9. i walk out of the garage and get near my office and realize i left my wallet in the car!

10. i opt to wait for lunch and try to find my car in the garage and get the wallet then

11. i get to my office, go to the kitchen area to get my cup, for my dr pepper and it is GONE.

12. I go look at different desks and see it at the receptionist's desk, and am NOT happy.

13. i am thinking, that is MY cup, i use it every day, it is clearly distinctive since it says UNCG Alumni and i have used it every day since starting here in April - why would someone take it from the kitchen area, especially since i am one of the few to actually clean my cup every night (something i never would do at home) the last thing i needed after the parking issues was to not have my cup.

14. lunch doesn’t come til after 2pm since we had a conference call to turkey and our translator was late getting to the office, because of parking too.

15. i get back from lunch and see my cup in the sink and grab it - i am trying to not think of the fact that it is just washed - (that is not something i usually care about)

16. it is now 4:06pm, about 4 1/2 hours since i started this post and i am finally at my desk again, after lunch, after moving my car closer to the office for the evening, after chaos - but i have to go out again and visit a hotel to make sure it will be ok for our visitor on Sunday.

17. at some point i will actually get back to the office and do the work i planned to do today.

18. good thing i have Thursday night set to tape on my VCR.

Awww Reader! I hate when that happens.

1. I know what pure exhaustion feels like now.
2. If you fall asleep during Survivor, YOU ARE tired.
3. I did wake up and saw ER and the procedures they were doing are the exact ones they did on my mom this week. I'm glad I wasn't in the room for that!
4. My big craft show is tomorrow morning!! I'm scared, excited, but mostly tired... gotta stock up on some coffee...
5. I had a "Machiatto" while I was at the hospital this week (they have a coffee shop) but I had never had one... I guess I thought it would be some sweet creamy type coffee... oh NO!! It was the strongest, bitterest stuff! And only about 1/3 of a cup (Guess they don't want anyone to OD)
6. So I was WIDE awake after that!
7. The dug the basements of our townhomes yesterday. Yippee!
8. I signed my entire life away on the loan papers.
9. I'll start taking pictures now that something is going on and post them in the "Building a House" thread!

9.1 Hi RG - {{hugs}} btw, and on your craft fair, how exciting!!!

9.2 You just reminded me dd had a meltdown and I missed Pratt's big 'revelation' (meaning he is finally getting a story line, and showing more of his personal life - the "bum" that died, he was so arrogant and unfeeling towards, but when the guy died Pratt was crying... why I ask? I missed that part... off to TVCH ER thread!! :-)

1. I enjoyed a quiet, lovely birthday yesterday.

2. Thrilled at the overwhelming volume of lovely birthday messages left for me in my folder. Love you all!!! Still owe more thank you's, but today is hectic and probably won't get back here til tomorrow.

3. Tonight Ed and I will be picking up dd (Loupup/Lauren) at the Groton Falls (Groton is pronounced: Kroton, of all things) train station for an 8 pm birthday dinner at a lovely inn--Bernard's (I think I already told everyone, but it is known for its fine French cuisine and live jazz)! So excited.

4. In preparation, I finally broke down and got my hair colored and cut.

5. This is the first time ever I have had foils in my hair! Do you believe my appt took 3 hours!!!

6. I look like a hot momma now, though. Got layers put in and the highlighting is subtle--gives me a 'glow' the hairdresser said. I think it does!

7. It rained all morning, then started to sleet. Temperature is 34 now. Afraid to look out to see if it is now snowing, as predicted.

8. When I got back from the hairdresser's there was no denying Herc. Had to walk him in the sleet. Wasn't that bad, actually, cuz I was all bundled up.

9. My yellow roses (from dh) are just starting to unfold. They are absolutely gorgeous!

10. Am hoping Zmom gets some relief and soon! And that RG's mom is doing much better today. Isn't that something that ER mirrored your mom's procedures. It was a difficult show to watch, let me tell you.

2) Never met her in real life, but I'm willing to bet she was a hot mamma to begin with. Kisses, Herkle!
