1. YIPPEE for the SecretSon engagement!

2. Half, my cat is being fed by a hungry grad student till he leaves for Thansgiving...then the next door neighbor. She will be mad at me for being gone. SIGH!

3. I watched the entire 1936 Berlin Olympics today. Well, I fast forwarded some of the races. I was interested in the opening and closing ceremonies. They didn't show the little girls 'Ring dance' that I wanted to see, but I saw pictures and listened to the recording.

4. Munich Man and I are going to dinner either tomorrow or Friday. I'm not getting my hopes up, but it should be fun.

5. It's my parents' 45th anniversary today, and I'm feeling guilty for not being there. But, HEY, I invited them to come with me, but Dad didn't want to go.

6. I bought a bottle of Riesling wine yesterday, but I can't open it. Guess I'll bring it home and imbibe later.

German BB is getting really confusing. Three are nominated. They have some kind of a callī-in for who should STAY in the house. There is also some money that is raised and they are up to 20,000 Euros right now. The jail-cell bars between the three areas of the house are interesting. I would hate to be in the 'survivor' group because they are camping in the back yard in the snow.

1. Today is Wednesday and I will go to aerobics tonight. :-)

2. I have four days off, and will shop till I drop on Friday.

3. A good friend of mine is coming to visit for the weekend. She is like another sister.

4. We may get to close the office early today.

5. Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends at TVCH

6. I am taking this opportunity to say "Thank You" for enriching my life in 2004.It has been an interesting year, some gains some losses ... on some occasions I've lived up to my standards, and in other instances I've had the opportunity to see things that still need work. I have also exceeded the "best I can do" a few times.
These are the markers of life, but it is the people who have shared these moments with me that enable all of it.I wish you food, shelter, warmth ...love and compassion ... peace and safety ...growth and understanding. Thank you for contributing to my life. I am glad to be a part of TVCH!!

4. So last night, DH and I braved the grocery store, it wasn't too bad.
5. There will be 10 for dinner.

!. i want to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving! to all those who are traveling, be safe.

2. hugs to denecee, i'm so sorry! i hadn't heard about your mom. you will be in my prayers. (((denecee))).

3. we've been getting SNOW flurries here all day. luckily no accumulation. since it was 60 degrees here yesterday, the ground is too warm. but it is cold today!

4. i used my last vacation day for the year from work today. i slept til almost 9am!

5. i spontaneously decided to get my hair cut today. for those of you who've met me, or know what my hair looked like, it is more or less the same, but with very heavy layers and a couple of inches shorter (at least in the back) i didn't know about it at first, because they don't style it there, unless you ask for that. and the natural curl/wave made it looked jacked up, but i played with it as soon as i got home, and i think i really like it. yay!

6. i know someone will ask to see a pic, so i'll just tell you right now that i don't have a digital camera, or any film in my regular camera, so you guys will just have to wait awhile. sorry!

7. i think i'll be getting some clear alcohol to pour in my soda for the grandparent's get together tomorrow (you know, just to calm my nerves) anyone know what's good with diet dr pepper?

8. i know that must sound incredibly mean, but you just have to understand. it will be like eating with emily and richard gilmore from the gilmore girls. no joke!

9. saturday night there is a concert at our favorite bar called longnecks and rednecks. it is wade hayes, jeff carson, and some other guy i can't think of at the moment. i think we are going.

happy thanksgiving everyone!

1. I ended up not only watching my baby neice but the oldest one as well today.

2. Sis called me back shortly after her first call in a near panic. She had a house full of people preparing for Thanksgiving, was in a rush to take her mil to a dr's appt, and had her plumber unexpectedly show up to do some more work before the holiday.

3. That's how I ended up with both girls, lol. They got here about 45 minutes til I had to go pick up Caleb and Kota from school, so it worked out good.

4. Darren had fun golfing with his buddy this morning.

5. When he got home he ran over to Costco to buy the fresh veggies I needed.

6. We decorated the gingerbread house with the kidlets. They had a blast and the house turned out very cute!

7. Oldest neice told me she had fun and wished she could come over more often. Since she started Kindergarten this year I don't get to see her as much as I'm used to. I miss having her visit as often as she used to.

8. My elderly aunt has decided not to come to sis' for Thanksgiving dinner. This is nothing unusual, lol. Bil will call her up and tell her she better be dressed and ready to go when him and Darren get there to get her. She will be, then they will help her out to the car and in it, and bring her over. Happens every holiday, lol. I think she just likes having two young guys show up and force her in the car, LOL.

9. Jbean, rum. Might not be good in diet dr pepper, but I'm sure if you pour enough rum in your drink after the first one you won't even notice the taste.

10. I've been considering taking my bottle of rum with me tomorrow, lol. I love my family, but they are insane.

1. Coconut Rum is good in just about anything...AND it's clear! I need alcohol to get me through the holidays. I'm not afraid to admit it, nor do I hide it, lol.

2. My eye infection is worse..just going to try and let nature take it course with it today and try not to put anything in it.

2.1 We are suppose to get around 4-6 inches of snow today...I will believe it when I see it

2.2 Happy Thanksgiving all

1. i ended up with vodka, and it tastes ok in the diet dr pepper. froggie, i have to hide it because grandparents are very religious and would flip their lids, so to speak. desperate times call for desperate measures.

2. skootz, i will be around. my family all lives here in town.

3. tonight my sister and brother in law are having another dinner at 6. i won't need the vodka for that one. lol.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FACTOIDERS!

1. Puppylov, I sure hope your headache gets better soon! Glad you get to see some blue skies too...yay!

2. My favorite sister and her family came in last night at 11pm. We stayed up til 3am just enjoying each others company once again!

3. As I've said before, after we read the menu for today's feast, I gained 10 pounds! Could be trouble by tomorrow morning with another 10 added...giggle!

4. I'm the only one up right now. The house is so quite but it's a wonderful feeling knowing that my house if filled with people who bring such joy into my life!

5. Did I mention that dd is home too! Gosh, she's almost 24 and my little girl has turned into a beautiful young woman! And just to finish off #5, ds#1 and ds#2 are not here today but I can appreciate that they are in the U.S. and healthy.....and probably having the time of their lives right now!
Happy Thanksgiving Factoiders!!

1. Happy Turkey Day!

2. I'm finished cooking! Yay! The turkey fell off the bone again, lol.

3. I wonder how many teenagers I will have in my house this evening ...

4. It's beautiful outside. A little nippy, but the sun is shining!

5. I can take almost anything if the sun is out.

6. I finally got a new keyboard yesterday, the old ones had no more letters on it, lol. I also got the new Ruben Studdard CD. That kid can sing some gospel! He brought me to tears singing Amazing Grace and Shout to the Lord.

5. It's a beautiful day here too,Finally!

6. I can't wait to get my hands on some pumpkin pie.

7. The four year old and I watched Santa arrive at the Macy's parade. It's official,the season has begun!

1. I ate at a Greek Restaurant with Munich Man today. His treat....Uzo, Weis Bier, Brandy....oh, yeah, and a shish-ka-bob and some Baklava!

2. After having champaign with my breakfast this morning and the variety of alcohol at lunch, I think I could breeze through din din with Jbeans Granparents.

3. The Christmas market is going up in Munich right now. It reminds me of NYC with the pretty windows and lots of shops.

4. Spent lots of time with the copy machine today. BLECH....I can't read the German directions when something goes wrong. And funny thing....the copy machine doesn't listen to me when I say 'Ich verstehst du nicht' (I don't understand)

5. More of the same on Big Brother, Germany. At night they have 'Sex Club' commercials that could only show on cable in the US.

6. Funny, I'm not missing the Thanksgiving feast right now.

7. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

8. Someone, please transcribe Survivor for me! I'll be home Saturday night.

1. lunch with the grandparents was....good...even! my good friend vodka helped me through it. i'll have to remember that for christmas, too. nothing like a little christmas cheer.

2. marm, you crack me up! champagne for breakfast, eh? impressive! yes, i'm sure you could have breezed through "din din". lol

3. my little niece brought her cheerleading outfit and did a few dances and jumps for her. she gets embarrassed. so i'm wondering how she's going to do that in front of so many people at the christmas parade and at a local university basketball game's halftime. she's so cute!

4. not many people at the walmart supercenter today, for once!

5. survivor is actually on tonight? i didn't figure anything would be on. yay!

6. i watched kelly, ruben, and fantasia home for christmas last night. or at least some of it. kelly's still my favorite. her new cd comes out tuesday...finally! yay!

7. the sun is actually out today here, too! puppylove, i had forgotten that the sky was blue, too! yay!

8. i'm having a hard time thinking of facts. that's weird. maybe i should take a nap before round 2.

9. enjoy the rest of the day everyone!

2. I get to go to a restaurant to have TG dinner with some of the family I haven't had it with for a few years.

3. The golf course squirrels that come over to my house to eat are so fat they actually have rolls on them. Too cute for words!

4. This my first time posting here.

10. I had technical difficulties with my cake. It kinda broke apart when transferring it. Made a nice skid of frosting along the counter. Gonna have to stop and pick up another one on the way to my cousins house if the store is open. Happy Holidays!

1. Happy Thanksgiving all!

1.2. We had a good day with the family. It was probably the quietest holiday we've had in a long time. There weren't even any fights while we were there.

1.3. Bil's mother took over the planning and organization of dinner. Sis didn't complain one bit, lol. Took me back to being a teenager and going to her house for holidays.

1.4. We decided to postpone our Disneyland trip til next weekend. Kota's not feeling too great and after hearing about youngest sisters 9 hour trip to San Diego (should have been a little under 4 hours) yesterday we got a little worried about traffic tomorrow.

1.5. The kids know we are going, but they don't know when so they won't be disappointed. I am crushed though. I'm such a big kid, I love Disneyland and hate having to put it off a week. I decided if I was going to miss out on that fun this weekend, we'd have a different kind of fun. I ran to Kmart and bought some new board games. Our plans for tomorrow are to play all day long.

1.6. Moms got a new boyfriend. He was interesting.

2. We had a great T'day, also. Just the three of us.

1. Saw the tree lighting in Munich! Beautiful! Got some teddy bears for the nieces and nephew, but couldn't figure out what to eat at the food stand, so I just had a banana on a stick covered with dark chocolate.

2. Went to an organ concert tonight. All organ concerts seem to be 90 minutes here. It wasn't very good. Pieces that my student's played better. Oh, well....it was a donation for their organ renovation.

3. While waiting for the tram to go back, there were a bunch of really drunk men. EVERYWHERE. At least the symphony let out a block away, so I had some nice old ladies in fur coats to help fend off the drunks. What can I say!

Leaving tomorrow for the states....we'll see if the cat remembers me!

1. Thanksgiving is over!! I went shopping at 6am today!! Crowds werent too bad! Money goes fast tho...

2. DS's gfs came to dinner. That was weird!! Dinner seemed quiet.

3. DS Jr in High School dropped a bombshell. He's quitting the Swimteam. I paid for the season, i took him to the dr for a physical, I watched the first meet, he was happy (looked) AND he was dedicated.

4. The coach called me, he's such a nice man. I gave him my . I keep crying. Somethings so not right, and I'm afraid I cant fix it. His gf was no help she says "he should quit, he's not passionate"...

I love your posts Schoolmarm!! (I wonder if Chicago has their Kris German Market up... time to google!)

1. Marm, your time in Munich sounds wonderful!

2. I bought the pups some new toys for C'mas...they got them early! (lots of squawks and other odd sounds)

3. I ordered some delicious Kringle and other goodies from a bakery in Seattle, today. Yummy stuff I can't buy here and they make it sooooo well!!

4. I hope Skootz' eyes are getting better!!!

5. Reader, it's always very hard to understand the young...both being one and growing one! Hang in there.

1. i had a really good day today! :-)

2. i decided to go shopping, but got my beauty rest first. (sleep is very important to me). so i woke up at 8am, and got up, washed my face, brushed my teeth and headed to the mall.

3. i got some stuff for my niece and for a baby shower i went to tonight. the mall was anarchy and chaos to say the least.

4. then i went to target, and bought a dvd player for my mom, and some more stuff for my niece. (she's really easy to shop for. lol)

5. next was gordman's, where i had stuff picked out for all 3 of my grandparents and my brother in law, but the line was backed up back in the decorations department! so i will be going back tomorrow for those things.

6. i got home around 3:30, then i highlighted my hair and got around and went to my best friend's sister's baby shower. it was fun! and i still have a whole weekend left! yay for days off! :-)
