I'll do 10.

1. Today we had a near-miss accident. My dh was driving me to the gym. As we were coming up on an intersection, I saw a guy out the right side of my eye, and I noticed his motorcycle was completely out of control -- my mind remembers him riding it sort of like a bucking bronco. Well, long story short, a millisecond later he fell off his bike as it was full-throttle, through his stop sign (perpendicular to us). The bike skidded RIGHT in front of our car -- and the driver went after it, tumbling head over heels -- also right in front of us. Like 2 feet, no more. No exaggeration. SO close I thought maybe we'd scraped the bike, but it turned out it was just the bike sound as it scraped by. After scraping and tumbling across the asphalt, I saw the guy get his back and head slammed against the curb. We stopped immediately & ran over along with a lot of other people on the street (this is in downtown Vancouver). The guy got up and was swearing, saying the bike was brand new and the throttle stuck on him. He had awful road rash (wearing only shorts and tank top -- at least he had on a helmet) and was bleeding a lot. I know nothing about bikes, but my dh says it is possible the throttle stuck, but who knows... He didn't want us to call an ambulance, but I did anyway. I knew at the time that it was just the adrenaline that caused him to jump up. I was right. About 2 minutes later, he was unconscious on the ground -- but went out just as the paramedics arrived, thanfully. They took him away, we gave a police statement, and my dh and I were very happy for his sake that we were not 1/2 a second earlier , or he'd either have hit us broadside, or we'd have run him over. And also lucky for people on the street, because it's a very populated area -- and it's very lucky that no one was walking their dogs or their children across the 2 crosswalks his bike skidded at full speed over. I hope he's ok, even if it does turn out to be his fault.

2. I am listening to the new Beastie Boys album as I type this.

3. We rented Fog of War today and plan to watch it tonight.

4. It's hot here in Vancouver today -- about 85 degrees. I know, I know, that's NOT hot compared to other places, but we do not have air conditioning and our windows that actually open are very small (2 feet by 1 1/2 feet each). So inside the house it's like a sweatbox. Maybe NOW I'll lose some weight ... ha!

5. My gym doesn't have a/c either. I did a 60 minute Interval Step & Sculpt class today in the heat. I"m nuts.

6. I'm still being courted to move back to DC for a great job, and while tempting, I don't really want to.

7. I was lurking in the Cats thread today and my heart is going out to all those who have lost their beloved family members recently.

8. My dh is handsome.

9. I bought an expensive watch last time I was in NY, and have already scratched it up. I'm hopeless.

10. Let's think of a random fact about me... Ummm, I hate clowns. And balloons. Yep, I hate clowns and balloons. Fact #10 about Yankee.

This is gonna be long!

1. Long, long, long day! I'm too old for all these parties! Nieces party, same as usual, lol. Sis and bil are complete time bozos. Party started at 1. They didn't start bbq'ing til 4. By 6 (when the graduation party started) I knew we were in trouble. They hadn't beat the pinata, opened presents, or had cake. I ran home long enough to give the neighbors son his present and let them know we'd be there when we could be there but most likely the kids wouldn't come with us. Back to sis' house in time for them to do the pinata. It was close to 7 when they started opening presents. Niece made out like a little bandit. She got a ton of clothes (which they'd asked for since she's getting ready to start kindergarten.) And a ton of toys. We got the cake out close to 8. That's when things went from being a normal child's birthday party to a typical family party. Sis had bought water balloons for the kids that they didn't use because they all went swimming instead. Little bro thought it'd be fun to do a sneak attack on people. I was standing there minding my own business when middle bro threw one at little bro and missed..hit me instead. I took off after him with a spatula. Caught him too, LOL. Then little bro hit me, while I was holding the baby and with Kota standing in front of me. Got both the girls wet, so I calmly handed the baby to Darren and did what any big sis should do to their little bro's once in a while. Ever so often I have to show them they really don't want to mess with me, lol. We had a good time. The kids had a blast. Poor Dakota got fried. We were lathering sunscreen on her from 10 this morning til 7 this evening, ever hour on the hour, and it didn't help at all. Poor kid has my skin tone and the only difference sunscreen makes is the shade of red is less with it than without.

2. We left about 8:30 and by the time we got home both kids were passed out in the car. So got them into bed, left the front door open and ran across the street to the graduation party. I sat down facing my front door so I could keep an eye out for one of the kids getting up. Managed to sit there for a whole six minutes before I saw Dakota wander out. Left Darren over there and came home. I would have liked to have stayed longer, but Dakota wasn't up to going over there. She's sound asleep now on the floor, party is still going on, but now I'm just to exhausted to move.

1. I love this thread and I enjoy learning new facts about each and every one of you.

2. I was glad Yankee was able to share her motorcycle moment with us...what a scary fact! And Yankee, were you really listening to an album or was it a CD? just wondering...

3. Gracie, I was sorry to learn about your precious Kallicat and my heart goes out to you.

3.1 jbeany, you bring back fun memories of me being 20-something once again when you share your facts about finding something cool like an 'eyelash sweater'...I enjoy sensing your happiness over such a great find!

3.2 Weinermr and Who...get in here and post some facts about youse.

3.3 Puppylov, you're doin' great...just have fun posting facts about yourself here...there really is no wrong or right way...schtickler is another word for having fun!

1. LOL. Get some good sleep for me! I'm exhausted but wired right now.

2. Darren got home from the neighbors earlier. He had to work this morning and was up at 2:30, so I figured he was ready for bed. He sat down at his computer, told me he was going to play for awhile because he really wasn't.....zzzzzzz. Bad as the kids, he could be sleeping and still telling me he wasn't tired!

3. When we went shopping this afternoon for gifts, the kids were at grandmas. I was having trouble coming up with a fathers day gift for him since his birthday was Thursday. I like to buy him something fun, that he can use as a way to relax and had thought about buying him something for golfing. But, after buying golf clubs at Valentine's day, I was really clueless what else to buy him. I mean, after the clubs, what else do you need? So I made him a deal, lol. Told him he could pick his own gift, but he had to let the kids wrap it and act suprised when he opens it tomorrow. They know what it is and have been doing very well keeping the "secret," lol.

4. I had another kitchen accident this morning and I'm blaming Darren even though he wasn't home. I was washing dishes and reached in the soapy water to grab something. Sliced the tip of my pinky open on a knife. How is this his fault? If he hadn't sharpened the knives earlier this week, it would have been too dull to cut me, lol. After the stupid toothpick incident I just can't blame myself for anything else this soon!

1. My heart is beating normally again!! Apparently the noise I heard upstairs wasnt a stalker, just DS stereo alarm, set to go off at 9:30 am - he left for camp yesterday, dh and dd went with, I'm loving the Sounds of Silence, till I heard drums blaring!!

2. MY JEANS FIT!! 5#'s can make a small difference, now if I can just breakthrough my mental wall, I am NOT sacrificing, I am getting healthy and beautiful, no I am beautiful NOW!! I have a long way to go working on my mind control, I truly sabotage myself!

2.5 Hermione ROCKS!! Her writing was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes!! DS is also hearing impaired, and Iwork at a school with hard of hearing/deaf kids, they have such a struggle with the written word, you can not EVEN imagine, they have a different auditory imput - for instance even with a hearing aide they can not hear certain consanants - nope, not there, cant amplify something that isnt there!! (just thinking about it all brings tears to my eyes)

HERMIONE ROCKS!!

1. I'm embarrassed now! I came here to list some facts and found accolades. Reader, you are very sweet and I appreciate your kind words. You asked me about my hearing loss in my folder and I will email you later today. I have a former student coming into town to see me and I need to jump in the shower STAT. Oh, and CONGRATS on the 5 pounds!

2. Tomorrow morning I am having a Lasik eye enhancement. I'm a little nervous. I think I get even more nervous than the average person because my eyes are my lifeline. An enhancement, by the way, is when they go back in and tweak things. I had the original surgery in September. I've loved it. My degree of near-sightedness was so severe that an enhancement was actually predicted before they first surgery. I'm still nervous, though!

3. Date #1 was a blast. We'll be getting together again soon. Date #2 is this Wednesday. Neither of these are going to turn into the love affair of the century, I don't think, but they are both wonderful men to hang around with. I was already friends with both of them, so that awkwardness is not there, which is quite a relief. Dating can be so ooky.

Happy Sunday and Happy Father's Day!

I don't think we're changing the numbering system in here, are we? I hope not!

1. I am so happy.
2. I have a wonderful person in my life!
3. We may go car shopping today to try to get something with a smaller payment - not sure if that is even possible, but it'll be fun to look.
4. I'm also going with my wonderful man to Best Buy - he wants one of those new digital cameras from Sony that is smaller than wallet.

Hey Spy, there, there......the numbering system is not changing in here. We are just playing around a bit and trying to clarify the numbering system to Lkunkel and perhaps some of the others. However, it's obviously not working...but what the heck...bottomline is, we're enjoying this thread!!


1. I'm so happy to hear that Spy is happy!!

2. I hope Spy will be sharing a few details about the wonderful person in her life with us....c'mon Spy...spill...LOL!!

3. Today is Father's Day and where's Egbob? Well, I'll tell you! He's volunteering his whole day to help set up the Gymnastics equipment at the Anaheim Pond for the Gymnastics Olympic Trials soon to be held there. He's in heaven as I post these facts. Anything gymnastics has always been very special to him, being a former gymnast and a gymnastics judge for the last 25 years.

4. DD and DS#2 came in from their week in Colorado and it's fun to have all three kidlets in the house for now.

5. The kidlets and I will be spending our day eating! First it's brunch with Egbob's family, then later it's dinner with Eggie's family.
