1. Insurance adjuster is coming Wednesday at 11:30. I think I already posted that, but Darren told me tonight he's made arrangements to work til 11 am that morning, and then Thursday he'll work an extra three hours to make up the time.

2. I'm so happy he'll be home to deal with the guy. I think I might go visit my sis that afternoon since he'll be home.

3. Dakota baked her first cake today. I promised her last week when I went grocery shopping next I'd pick up the stuff so she could do it. She made a pineapple upside down cake and did all of it except for measuring the liquids and pouring the batter in the pan.

4. Cake was delicious (a little too sweet for me) but unfortunately when I was getting it out of the pan it broke. Fortunately she didn't seem to mind what it looked like as long as it tasted good.

5. Caleb and Darren spent the better part of the day with their new hobby, computer gaming together. If they weren't sitting in front of the computers, they were talking about it. They had a blast.

6. After all the crappy weather, today was wonderful. I went grocery shopping about 1, and ended up driving with the windows down. Totally awesome.

1. I'm home! WHEW!

2. That would be after 22 hours of traveling, including getting to the airport and getting home.

3. No wonder I'm tired.

4. The jet lag will probably cause me to get up at 3 or 4 in the morning.

5. I can't find the cat.

6. It is cold here, and it was warmer in Munich.

7. I really liked flying on Delta airlines!

7.1 I'm glad your home Schoolmarm! I know you don't know who I am, but I've loved reading your facts posts during your travels.

7.2 I'm sure the cat will show up. Put out some food and you'll see it in no time!

3.4444 Jewels...I have had a similar thing happen to me. My college boyfriend when I was a freshman is a wacked-out modern composer. He is currently into multimedia, with puppets and other bizarre things. I swear that some of his music is from the angst of our break up. Pretty weird, huh?

7.5 Looked for the cat this morning. Still gone. At least I slept until 4:30, which is only an hour earlier than I usually get up.

Happy Sunday, Factoids!

1. jewels, i think that might freak me out a bit, too! kinda cool that you have your own song, though.

2. marm, glad you are home safe and sound. i hope you find your kitty. she'll probably be glad to see you. did you have someone feeding her while you were gone?

3. i (finally) bought a cd wallet to put all my cds from my car in yesterday. it holds 200 and it is almost full! it looks a lot cleaner in my car now!

4. i wanted to buy napoleon dynamite at the used cd store yesterday, but they were out! :-( that movie is quite popular in this area. and i am cheap. lol

5. i am doing weight watchers (again). i started on wednesday, and have done ok so far. i'm really bad about losing weight and being happy with the accomlishment, and then putting it all back on, and then some. :-( i am noticing that with age it's coming on more and more. i haven't changed my eating habits, but keep putting the weight on. that sucks! (eating lots of green beans! lol)

6. my co-worker's husband put new rotors and brake pads on my car yesterday. it's nice and quiet now. yay!

7. it is flippin' COLD here. the high has been in the lower 20's for 3 days in a row now. i'll admit that it is better than rain and flooding, though! blech!

enjoy what's left of the weekend!

1. Welcome home, Marm! Hope you find your cat. Uh, does it have a name yet?

2. Good for you, Jbeany on the Weight Watchers thing. Yup, metabolism changes. I have a friend who took up running and got a set of weights in her home so she could eat the way she wanted!

3. It's cold here, too. 25 right now and it's noon. I think the high on Wed is supposed to be 19.

4. I took Herc to the cemetery for a run this morning and I was so bundled up I wasn't cold anywhere but on my face.

5. While just starting to walk Herc, some guy in a cadillac SUV drove up and stuck in head out his window to talk.

6. I leashed up Herc (and for once he didn't bark . . . too busy sniffing). He pointed to a car on the hill I had noticed (because it was parked where I usually park) and asked if I knew the owner. He said that someone was in the car and that it had been there a long time without the motor running.

7. No, I said. Do you work here? No, I was just concerned because it's been there awhile. Now that gave me the creeps--how did he know it had been there awhile if he didn't work there? Self-appointed vigilante or what?

8. I just said I don't approach cars--afraid of what I'll see! He laughed and said I don't blame you and drove on. Later, when Herc and I were done walking and approaching our car, I saw that same car parked in another spot, overlooking where the suspect car was parked (near where I had parked, btw). Gave me the creeps. Herc and I left, looking for a deer sighting as usual--none today. Hope I don't read about something weird tomorrow.

1. Wow Jewels, a song about you. Have you heard or read the lyrics yet?

2. How sweet that Kota wanted to learn how to bake a cake. I am wondering how she decided on pineapple upsidedown?

3. Welcome home Marm! Take a nap. I hope you find kitty and she forgives you for leaving. My buddy does the same thing when we go somewhere. He won't even come home to eat while we are gone, because we have wonderful neighbors who feed all the cats - everyday. I asked neighbor to feed him last time and skipped the sitter.

4. It's wonderful to have a few new posters in the factoid threads.

5. Jbean, good luck with the weight watchers. After you lose be sure and get into a daily regime to keep it off.

6. I will be so happy when my meds even out for me so that I can start seeing results in weight loss.

7. I haven 't gotten in any outside walking in two days because our temps are colder, & the wind has been bringing in more dreaded mountain cedar.

8. Ms. Perky, that guy gave me the creeps and I wasn't even there with you. I hope he was just a neighbor being paranoid.

9. Whew! Nine factoids. Go Colts!

9.1 Thanks, Jbeany! I agree, it is a cute name, Mak! (Just too bad I associate it with this mean old co-worker I knew back in DE)

1. I'm actually rooting for the Colts today.

2. Next week I'll root for Pittsburgh for my brother. He is a HUGE fan. And I'll root for Atlanta for me. I think Michael Vick is amazing, plus he is a hometown boy for me. He's from the area where I grew up. So I guess I am saying I want to see a Pittsburgh vs Atlanta Super Bowl!

3. Yesterday I helped with a Habitat for Humanity house. What a great experience that was.

4. And we had the added bonus of a very hot site supervisor. OMG, he was drool-worthy, no, he was more than that! He was thigh-quivery!

5. Seriously, it was an amazing experience.

6. I'm doing a bit of volunteer work these days; it is a good feeling.

7. This Wednesday I will be helping with monthly pig races at a nursing home. I have no idea what this involves, but I do know it is not real pigs, lol. John, the organizer, tells me the residents love it so this should be fun.

8. We seem to have found the magic combination for my bipolar meds! YAY! I look back on where I was this summer and it is amazing that I feel as good as I feel today.

9. It all seems to have happened to someone else a very long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.... STAR WARS. Sorry, my mind changed tracks.

10. I hope everyone is doing well, and for those who aren't I hope things get better very soon. :-)

1. Hi, Hermi! Wonderful news about how you are doing. I am tickled for you. How are the art classes going?

2. (Uh, I am really not a true football fan, but I am watching and rooting for the PATRIOTS!) I am from New England and all.

3. Having meatball sandwiches and munchie junk for dinner--as my football-fiend dh won't notice what he eats anyway!!

1. My dd went to a birthday party at the ice rink in the mall (where Hippy, Spy and I met!).
2. I went shopping.
3. I am mad at my dh, so spent too much money!
4. The bad thing it was on makeup which I dearly love, but it's so depressing to by in the 'hiding the flaws' stage of life and not make up for dress up anymore!

1. I am half hung over today.

2. The lesson learned is that Karen does not drink clear liquors, especially if she's already been drinking wine.

3. It is worth it, though, as we spent last night with good food, good wine, and good company.

4. Today is a lazy day of playing video games, followed by take-out sushi.

5. Um, is there some big sporting thing going on that I don't know about? Why are we all cheering? (If it's not hockey, I am clueless.)

1. been a while since I've posted in here.

2. but i have been reading.

3. Not posting much because I'm battling tendonitis in my right had - which sucks.

4. Jbean - I'm a weight watcher queen - been on program( more or less) for a year. 82 lbs lighter for the effort too. still have around 25 lbs to go to hit goal. Persistance is the keyword. Any time you (or anyone else) want weight watcher advice - stop by my folder.

5. By the way I typically have a can of green beans at lunch every day. Yes I said a can. Yes every day. Yes I get tired of green beans but I'm a fussy veggie eater and don't like lots of other stuff but will consistently eat green beans (preference for french cut).

6. LOL Karen- in my case if it isn't Kansas basketball or figure skating I'm clueless.

1. I will post the lyrics to the song in my folder, feel kind of weird doing it in a public place.

2. It doesn't really paint me in the greatest of lights, but we were young, what can I say? What is weird to me is that it had been 5 years since we broke up when he wrote this song....let it go already!!

3. I did listen to a snippet of the song too, it is not a sappy love balad it is a punk-rock-bang-your-head-jump-in-a-mosh-pit-type of song.

4. We are having sandwiches for dinner and then we are going to make hot fudge sundaes for dessert. Yay!

5. Good luck on WW, Jbeanie! You can do it! Congrats on your weight loss, Puppy!

6. Wasabi...blech is right. Someone tricked me with some wasabi nuts at Christmas, I about tossed my cookies!

1. Ahem! Looks like I have arrived in time.....Factoids, Factoids, Factoids....

2. Jewels, I'll be taking a peek in your folder. This is a fun fact albeit kinda creepy....but fun nonetheless!!

3. I missed the par-tay in Gracie's folder!

4. Today was a lazy day for me...just watched the football games and cleaned some of my fake and real jewelry.

5. Yesterday was a wonderful day for me!!

6. My sister and I had a day of sisterhood bonding.

7. We went to the mall and did a little shopping. We did good! We only bought stuff for our homes and offices...and nothing for us. Oh...I take that back. I did have a gift card to Victoria's Secrets and well....I did buy myself a lil'something...lol!

7.1 And we saw Ray at the $3.00 theater. What a great movie and it goes without saying, the music was awesome!!
