1. I am home sick from work today. Been feeling pretty terrible since Saturday afternoon. Much worse today :-(

2. On the upside, I have hand-addressed 84 wedding invitations in my own brand of calligraphy.

3. Only 203 more to go.

1. I'm hearing Yankee about the guilt for not being 'Home' for Thanksgiving. Not only am I spending Thanksgiving in Germany, but I'm also missing my parent's 45th anniversary on Wednesday. SIGH!

2. I bought some really yummy chocolate today and some Mozart Kugle for my students.

3. It smells funny in this internet cafe. Nuff said!

4. I'm really happy that I got my stipend for my presentation applied to my hotel bill! Now I can shop at the Christmas market on Friday.

5. I ate pizza with banana peppers, ham, mushrooms and artichokes on it today. One ingrediant in each of the four quarters. You wouldn't believe how good artichokes are on pizza!

6. My scanner went kapooey today, so I will have to type and make copies. That bites. Every time I come here I have some kind of electrical or computer problem. I actually bought a worldwide travellers set of plugs especially for the power cable. No adapter needed. Dang it, I left the plug at home or it is in a nook of my suitcases that is very hidden. I have a three piece adapter that buzzes, but at least it works! Unlike the scanner!

1. As Urgrace said we are all getting our water wings ready as we aren't sure when we will float away.

2. Even though the weather report was bad, our schools were open. Can you say really dumb move?

3. A lot of our kids live out in the country and we have one large concentration of kids that live out one particular road, Lime Kiln Road. Now when we get a good rain this road floods.

4. We've had a good rain almost every day for a week now, so our river which is normally the size of a creek is almost up to the bottom of the bridge.

5. The calls started coming in to the school at 8:15 (classes start at 8:30) asking if we were having school today. The parents started coming in to get their kids at 10:00. We had administrators in every hallway upstairs and down, we were on radios, as the parents came in we would call the building and the administrator would go to the classroom and excuse the student. This went on for 5 hours solid.

6. We have a large multi-building campus with almost 2000 kids, we had less than 1000 by the time school was out.

7. We have students that were returned to the school by their bus drivers because they couldn't get them home. If the parents can't come to get them, the administrators will spend the night in the gym with them. Glad I'm a lowly secretary who isn't allowed to work overtime and doesn't live too near a river. LOL

1. ((((jmm & gracie))) that the rain ends soon! stupid rain!

2. the slowness of my browser has really been pissing me off lately. i almost fell asleep waiting for this page to load. (no joke).

3. that being said, i didn't sleep well last night, and need to get my rear in bed soon.

4. there are a lot of psychos around here (meaning MO). this 18 y.o. kid beat his grandmother to death (kicking her in the head) over the weekend. she was 72 y.o. and died from swelling of the brain.

5. my friend's hometown where we stayed on thursday and friday nights is very small, and on the previous tuesday evening, 2 seventeen year old kids robbed and killed the owner of a steakhouse. one of them had worked there and left on bad terms. :-(

6. my friend said that the guy was the nicest guy you'd ever meet and was playing jokes on his customers all the time. all the visitation stuff was going on while we were in town. so sad.

7. for the first year since i was born, my mom is not having a thanksgiving dinner or lunch at her house. :-( that means i will be going to my grandparents.

8. i'm just full of good news, ain't i? i believe i will go to bed now.

hope you all are having good evenings!

1. Kapooey...I found a new word that I'm going to like!

2. Today I had a slight difference of opinion with my Director...and so my day went kapooey!

3. But then I had a visit from a student who just brightened up my morning and so I said heck with the Director and the kapooey feeling went right out the window!

4. I worked 10 hours today and this just can't go on or I'll be having a difference of opinion with everyone I work with and then my life will be....well...kapooey!

5. I received news that sadden me today. An acquaintance passed away...only 57 years young. Stroke and he's now gone. Sighhhhh....

6. Tonight I stopped by and visited my mil and fil. They are such a joy in my life and they love me like one of their own.

7. Also tonight, I was able to IM with my two sons...one in Indiana and the other in NY. They both will be away for Thanksgiving. One at school, the other with his girlfriend and her family.

8. My favorite sister (shhhh, don't tell my other sisters), and her family are coming to our house Wednesday night to spend Thanksgiving weekend with us. My other sister who lives about 5 minutes from me is hosting this year...yay!

9. Hugs to all my factoid friends who find themselves dealing with lifes twists and turns and rains and pains. Let's all say it together....KAaaaa-pooey!!
(thanks for the new word Marm!! lol)

1. 10! Woo hoo, I can do that easy!

2. Yesterday was Darrens first day of vacation. We did absolutely nothing, lol. Ok, I'll take that back, I did go to the grocery store and Walmart, but skipped Costco.

3. Today he took the kids to school, then came back and got me to take me out to breakfast. I almost never eat breakfast, so that was a treat.

4. Then we went to visit my sis for a bit. We had actually run over to drop something off for her, but I got there and she had oldest neice in the tub but was stuck on the phone handling some business. So I got her dressed and ready for school. Youngest neice threw herself on the floor and had a tantrum when we left.

5. Then it was off to shopping. Usually going to Costco is a family afair, and it was nice to go with the kids in school for a change. We spent 2 hours walking around. Bought our first Christmas presents for the kids and made a list to compare prices on some stuff we saw we knew we want to get them.

6. Dropped all that stuff off at home and then we went to see National Treasure. I liked it and had a good time.

7. We barely made it on time to pick the kids up from school, lol. We were gone all day, and had a great time! It's been a long time since I've got to spend a whole day with Darren where we weren't running for or with someone else. Was nice to have just a day for us to spend together.

8. Tomorrow we have another whole day scheduled. We want to get the Harry Potter dvd that's coming out tomorrow for the kids for Christmas. Then we're taking our handy list and going comparison shopping around town. We're planning to do most of our Christmas shopping the weekend before Christams and are planning to make it as easy as possible on ourselves.

9. Wednesday the kids have a minimum day at school. We're going to make a gingerbread house. I was looking for a fun family project and think that will be a good one.

10. Friday we are hoping to take the kids to Disneyland if the weather is better. We did not get snow yesterday, got lots of rain, but it is freezing here, literally! We are under, for the second night in a row, a frost warning. We never get frost warnings, LOL! All of the mountains surrounding us got covered in snow last night. It was 30 degress when Darren took the kids to school this morning! I'm a desert rat, I am really not liking this weather lol.

1. We FINALLY got the ok to start moving into our house. Dining room [we'll use as office] needs painted and a couple of minor cabinet repairs and a not so minor ceiling repair still needs done in the kitchen, but seeing's as our new landlord got out of the hospital a week from today [pneumonia & chronic heart failure] we're happy to be moving in and even more happy landlord's health is so much better.
1.a I was pissed that landlord and wife spent all day Sunday cleaning the house, and all Monday cleaning the carpets, all of which I said I'd be more than happy to do, or at least help landlord's wife. Landlord said wife seemed to like us alot when she met us 2 weeks ago and "didn't want those kids moving into a filthy house". When we took the fridge over it was far from filthy. But it will be nice to for once move into a place and not have to clean my patootie off. Usually I clean top to bottom even if the place seems clean, but this time I'll probably just spray Lysol on surfaces even though it probably is cleaner than anything I've cleaned.
1.b I was a bad girl last night. Unranked Iowa played 11th ranked U of Louisville in basketball. U of Iowa 76 U of Loserville 71. I wanted to find some red [cardinal] feathers to decorate the Hawkeye bobblehead my brother sent my husband. It was hotter than heck [ok to Eggie it was freezin, 55^] but I wore my winter [ok it's a medium weight jacket but it's what I wear in the winter, very rarely wear my winter coat in his tropical paradise *L*] jacket that has a big IOWA on the back, then a big Hawkeye head under the Iowa. And I couldn't just go here in Indiana even though there are alot of Louisville fans here. Nope I had to drive over to Louisville. Got a few nasty comments [sore losers!] but most of the comments were cool.
1.c My husband took the bobble head to work. He's also going to put a few red feathers in the outgoing mail. Mail guy was giving dh crap yesterday, saying feathers were going to fly. He has nobody to blame but himself as he made the feather comment. I think he's also going to get an envelope with feathers in it, and the Iowa fight song. And when my husband sees him leave his office he's gonna sprinkle a few feathers here and there in the guy's office.

1. I did the "War Dance" yesterday with 80% of my house. Washed walls, windows, woodwork and curtains. Today I need to tackle the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room.

2. I'm too excited to get myself started with the housework. My son is going to propose to his gf tonight, everyone but she knows, although she told me the other day she thinks he's going to give her a promise ring before he leaves for Iraq, she thinks it'll be at Christmas.

3. Tonight I'll have all my children home for the first time since last Christmas, I love how much they enjoy each other's company. Tomorrow afternoon I've scheduled a sitting for family portraits, I know they'll smile, but will they be too silly?

1. Whaaa Hoooo big boss is out of the office rest of today and tomorrow. (this on top of my boss being gone)

2. I still live in the land that sun forgot. Should you find the sun, please encourage it to return - I miss it.

3. I'm going to play with Christmas lights tonight in an attempt to get strands to fully work (instead of partly working). Wish me luck.

4. This is going to be cleaning weekend as I've been procrastinating. Also plan on putting up the tree since I have boxes of decorations all over the living room.

1. Hi Factoids! What a busy weekend I had! Started Christmas shopping on Saturday, cleaning/holiday prep work on Sunday, and yesterday Steve took a "sick" day and we went shopping yet again!

2. Today I have to get the ingredients I need to make my Turkey Day dessert, then run to the liquor store to stock up on wine.

3. Tomorrow I MUST get my nails done! We have our Engagement pictures scheduled for tomorrow evening and I can not let people see my hands like this, lol.

4. I have absolutely no clue what to get Steve for Christmas this year. Every time I ask him what he wants/needs he says "nothing". I know he really wants a DVD burner drive thingy for the computer but I am in no way mentally equipped to purchase something like that. Maybe a gift certificate to Best Buy will have to do...

5. Spy - Hope you feel better soon! And way to go on getting those invites addressed!!! I think we finally decided on the ones we want...I'll have to post them in the wedding thread for you to see. Take care!!!

1. I worked until 7 pm today and looked at lots of pictures of the opening ceremonies and rehearsals for the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. They were really cool!

2. I found an unpublished composition by Carl Orff in the box with the Olympic stuff.

3. I'm wondering if anyone else does research there. Everytime I go, I find some undiscovered manuscript.

4. I couldn't get to sleep last night due to jet lag, and sirens outside. That was strange because they NEVER use sirens in Munich. Good thing Big Brother, Germany was on for HOURS. I think that the live feeds are on tv.

5. I wrote about BB Germany in the road trips thread, as I haven't done anything exciting, but look in a lot of dusty boxes.

6. This internet cafe smells good today, for a change! I think they are making chicken or ham sandwiches. Maybe I'll have one before I go to bed tonight (it's 9:45 pm here in Munich!)

Will someone please transcribe the Amazing Race, bitte? Danke schon! Bis Spater!

1. Wishing all my factoid friends a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

2. We are leaving tomorrow after Jake gets out of school to go to my parents.

3. Jake has a Thanksgiving program at school tomorrow...the kindergarteners are going to be pilgrims and the preschoolers are going to be indians, they will be dressed accordingly, have a feast and do some little dances. Should be cute!

4. I hope all of you that are feeling yucky get better soon!

5. We got our new septic tank yesterday. Half my driveway is gone, and there was a whole about 8 feet deep, 10 feet long and 6 feet wide in its place. It still isn't done, but now we are waiting for inspections and such. What a hassle.

6. I haven't started my Christmas shopping yet, but I have made lists and checked prices in stores, when Jim starts his vacation in mid-December we will take a day and go out and buy everything, it makes it so much easier that way.

7. I'm excited Amazing Race is on tonight! I have to get all my packing done before then!

Woo hoo, SS, congrats to your son and future dil!

1. I have the house to myself for the first time since last week. It is very quiet, lol.

2. I'm going to take advantage and get the house all cleaned this morning. We're making a gingerbread house this afternoon with the kids, then have to brave Costco to buy some veggies for tomorrow, I'd rather have all the housework done by then!

3. We got off lucky for the holiday too. Have to take devilled eggs and veggie trays and thats it. They don't trust me to cook, LOL.
