1. Wow, Eggie! I'm glad to hear niece went home today and that she is doing good! 2. Both of my kids can open child proof bottles and have been able to for a few years now. 3. This has been an incredibly long day! We were up at 6:30am this morning. Darrens mom was getting married so family came in from all over the place. 4. We got the kids showered and dressed. Got ourselves showered and dressed. Then we went to buy my niece a birthday present. 5. After the store, we went to the hotel all of Darren's family was staying at to visit before the wedding and for the kids to see the out of town relatives. 6. When we were done there, we took the kids for an early lunch. Finished about 11:45 so decided to bring them home for a little down time. 7. 12:30 we took off to sis' house for the baby's birthday party. We set and chatted with my family and watched the kids play. Didn't get to see her "open" presents or have cake or hit the pinata though. 8. Darren and I left at 4 to come home and get ready for the wedding. We snazzied ourselves up and headed to the hotel at 5:30. 9. Wedding started at six. We attached ourselves to Darren's eldery aunt because she needed some help and the fact that Darren is her favorite (and only) nephew. The woman is a hoot and I just love her to death. 10. We left about 10:30 when all the guests were gone and his aunt was safely tucked in bed. Picked the kids up, little sleepy heads, lol, and got them in bed. Darren went a few minutes ago after falling asleep on the couch and I think it's about time for me to follow.

1a. I'm glad Eggie's niece is alright too (what a scare!!) Strong little girl, huh? I know most kids can open them but 4 seems small. Then again, child-proof lighters aren't exactly a challenge. Glad she's okay. 1b. I tried to rent "Shrek2" also but it was out at Hollywood Video and at Blockbuster so I got "Supersize Me" and I really did get quite a few laughs from it. "I've got a Mc Stomach ache, and the Mc Jitters". Heehee. They also tal;ked about school lunch programs and it turns out that the at risk school right here in town has a deal with this big Wisconsin natural bread place (Manitowoc Ovens) and they feed them all healthy food for the same price instead of kids eating Doritos, Pepsi, and french fries for their lunch, which I see every day. 1c. on the food note, Tim and I are having Thanksgiving today just because we like the food and don't want to wait. I picked up acorn squash and all the stuff for the casserole yesterday (broccoli, cauliflower, brussell sprouts, pasta, little carrots, and for the sauce it's basically white sauce with onions, Chardonnay, and some cheese added)- I already had a bag of wild rice (my favorite). Now I just need to pick up yams today and I pie and I believe our meal will be complete. Maybe some rolls or something too. I don't care if I have rolls though. 1d. I'm cooking, but Tim has to do the dishes. 1e. Last week I went to AT&T to upgrade my cell phone just cause I wanted a nwer phone. Well, their service is pretty much all GSM now so I had to switch to that from TDMA. GSM sucks. I have to smoosh my head by the window to get food reception now at home, I've been disconnected, get network busy signals, etc so I'm returning it. They'd better be nice about it- I have 30 days and I want my old plan back (where I was done with the contract and my bill was $29.99 a month rather than a 2-yr contract for $39.99 a month.) 1f. Hope you've all had a great weekend. We've had the best ever weather for early November- in the mid-60s. Beautiful yesterday.

1. If you want a childproof bottle opened, give it to a child! So glad Eggie's niece is ok. I ate a bottle of aspirin when I was, maybe two or three. That was in the days before childproof caps. Apparently I climbed up on the bathroom sink and got into the medicine chest while Mom was feeding baby brother. That was the only time I ever had my stomach pumped. 2. I came home from an all-day music festival at campus and mom met me at the door telling me that there was gas in the house and she had the neighbor turn off the propane tank. The only thing on gas is the fireplace, and she thinks that the pilot light went out. Maybe that's why I've been sick. 3. I have WAY too many big things going on right now. It's exciting, but I'm not getting everything done. I'm skipping church and just watching it on TV today. I think I need a husband to take care of me........WAH!

Loved the update, Herc! 4) Did I say GOOOOOOO STEEELERS!!!! 5) Lazy Sunday, it's 3:30 pm and I'm still, yes, still in my jammies. 6) Ain't gettin' out neither! Nope! Not gonna do it! 7) Less than two weeks till I go back to FL to visit my mom and ailing grandparents. Since we moved 2 and 1/2 years ago, I haven't wanted to leave the mountains to head back to the heat, but I'm looking forward to it! 7.1) GOOOOOO STEELERS!

1. I'll do eight...beats having to come up with ten. 2. For those interested...I posted a few more pics of my daughters in my folder. 3. I never dreamed in my life how two little girls can change a person. 4. Tara's in bed crying because she didn't want to go to bed. 5. The part time job is taking a toll on me. I work eight or more hours a day...then work five or six more in the evening. 6. It's only three nights a week and on weekends, but it's alot of standing and my butt muscles hurt. I guess it's because I'm not in as great shape as I would like to be. 7. I do have a new found respect for fast food workers. I never thought much about it, until I started doing it. 8. Hopefully, I won't have to do it very long.

1. I'm HOME!! (there's no place like home, there's no place like home...) 2. The hotel was pitiful! Good thing for internet deals, the rack rate was $159, it was listed as a "suite" hotel, but it wasnt (I didnt read the fine print, taught me a lesson - the "pool" they listed as an "amenity" didnt note it was an OUTDOOR POOL darn it!) Live and learn! 3. I felt very lost and alone, and dh felt worse I'm sure... the groom's father and new wife, were very kind, and talked to us a lot... you know misfits seem to gather (PS they were from Dallas TX!! *g) 4. Sils new dh seems to be very spiritual, and family orientated, very kind!! She now is mum to a 9yr dd and 11 ds, they live with them 100% of the time. 5. The bride bent over, and gave dd her boquet after sil gave hers to the stepniece, she says "here I dont want this, do you?" and the child's eyes lit up, (she was the flower girl, very sweet, her and dd played, ran, and giggled while we were having punch and cake) The bride looked at my dd face and said, and "this one is for you dear" 6. At 8:30 we went to Jazz Cooker for Dinner, again, just odd. It was a nice place, looked very New Orleans, the food was New Orlean style, the town just fit the character of the place - it was an old home, I loved the place. 7. All the menus were designed had Bride and Groom's name and had a choice of entrees to select. I had to have the menu read to me!! (old fart!) 8. Then at the end, mil and youngest sil got up to take care of the bill... that confused me. I nudged dh to pay for our family's share... he glared at me. 9. Then they made plans to meet up in the morning and the other sils looked at us and said, you'll be leaving early, so we'll say goodbye now. (um, ok, that's the way it is!!) I feel so inadequate.

1. Co-Schtickler reporting for duty: SKOOTZ - you only had to do 3 facts. You always post one more fact than the person who posted before you until we get to ten, then the next poster will start back at 1. Reader posted 1 fact, then Ginger posted 2, then you should do 3, and so on... 2. I'm off today and a little bored at the moment. I think my mom wants me to go to Walmart with her later on today though so that will get me out of the house a bit. 3. She's almost done her Christmas shopping already and I have yet to even start! Maybe this weekend... 4. Steve is in Michigan this week for work. He left yesterday afternoon and won't be back until Friday night. I hate his business trips, but they're good for his career so I tolerate them as much as I can with a smile!

1. LOL - Froggie - good schtickling 2. I'm frustrated with a situation at work today. It is a tiny, small, ongoing thing that is the only mark on an otherwise blissful job. 3. Unrelated to the frustrating thing, Mondays are chalk full of clinical supervision. I start in 10 minutes and don't finish until after 7pm, one student after another. 4. Good thing I love being a supervisor! 5. I hope others are having a better Monday than I am. Bye!

I will find it very hard to come back from Florida on Monday

1. Life is so much better now that Mom came down to help me (and those of you who have heard about my Mom know what HUGE stress I must have been under to even ask her to come down to help). She had the neighbor turn off the propane tank to the house, as the fireplace was leaking or the pilot light was out and the house was full of gas. 2. I feel SO much better after having slept a couple of nights without gas in the house. 3. My new office computer was installed this morning. It is a G5 IMac, and it is absolutely awesome. 4. I really like the keyboard. Very easy on the fingers. 5. I have a recital tomorrow night. I need to practice some more....but I would say that even if I were "perfect" LOL! 6. I'm leaving on Wednesday for Long Beach and I hope to meet some Southern Californians on Friday at the Pizza Kitchen. Eggie has the time and place, so email her if you want to go! 7. I really need to prep for my grad class tonight. We're into philosophy....a strong area, but I have to actually prep. When we did history, I could just go in and teach without much prep. 8. Edit....DANG, Ginger beat me to 7....so happy Monday to everyone! Factoid posters are the best!
