1. Denecee, you've shared is very life altering news, both for you and your daughter. Thank you for sharing. I can only imagine what you and your daughter are going through right now and my hope is that you keep it all positive and go with the flow the best you can. I will keep you in my thoughts.

2. As some of you know, I will be moving onto a new job in another department within my hospital. My last day in my current job is around July 2nd. However, today my Admin came to me with an offer. Since I'll be working part time in my new job-to-be, my Admin asked me to be a per diem consultant for my current department and I said YES! So in reality, I'll be working almost full time in two different departments at the hospital. I asked that we re-evaluate my consulting position with her at the end of the year to see how this is working out for me and she agreed to my request. The next 6 months will be very, very interesting for me, doncha think? LOL!!

1. My four year old daughter went to my Mom's for the next four days. It is so nice and quiet around here!

2. I rented "Lost in Translation" today. Looking forward to watching it.

3.I was really sad to hear about Ray Charles passing away today.

1. I'm sitting here in my hotel room in Atlanta. I drove 10 hours today and I'm bushed. Yahoo gave me the wrong directions and I ended up sightseeing through crappy and really nice neighborhood here. (Yes, I know better than only using Yahoo, but I forgot to double check the directions, LOL!)

2. The rest of my group flew in yesterday. I drove in today with all the supplies for the trade show and booth. Aren't I nice?

3. The group got bumped to the Marriot by the airport due to overbooking. They thought it was only going to be for last night, so today they packed up and hauled themselves downtown. They got here and yep, you guessed it, they were told no, they had to stay at the airport again! So I'm here by myself until tomorrow.

4. Originally the room rate was $159 through the company handling this conference. They made you jump through hoops and slap your mother to get reservations. And you know it, they screwed up my reservation and only put me for 2 nights. When I went to add an additional night, the hotel said they had a special for $129 a night, free parking ($20) and complimentary breakfast. Woohoo! I switched all my nights to this rate.

3.1 I'm sorry to hear about Ray Charles passing away, I love his music.

1. ((((((denecee and dd))))) btw, my sweet angel niece who is in my profile pic with me was a big suprise for my sis and bil. she graduated in june 1998 and found out she was having a baby in oct 1998. i will congratulate you, though, because that little girl is absolutely the light of our lives!

2. i hadn't heard about ray charles. :-( that is really sad. our radio station has been playing one of his songs (the exact one escapes me) for reagan's tribute/comemoration. not a good week for famous elderly people i guess.

3. i got tickets for the nashville star tour coming to kansas city on july 31st. the tickets were only $15 each BEFORE ticket master fees. for a grand total of $46.10 for 2 tickets. unbelievable. unfortunately for them, i was invited to take a survey about ticketmaster. you guys know i'm not one to hide my opinion.

4. baby drew is doing good. they have taken her off of the respirator, but now they have her in an incubator. i am told she is getting stronger every day, and my cousin and her husband got to hold her finally. yay

5. can anyone guess what MY favorite color is?

1. That's great news Jbean! I'm so glad she's doing so well! Yay.

2. I have a billion, zillion things to do today. I'm going to AZ to see my Dad tomorrow until next Saturday night.

3. Yet here I am, sitting at the computer. LOL I watered all my plants already- that's a good hour long job itself!

4. I still have to go to the store, do laundry, find my BIG suitcase because the medium one just won't cut it for a full week. Seriously. You should see the size of my bag when I just drive an hour north to the cabin for one night. You never know when you might need different shoes, or a sweater, or another tanktop, or the dark jeans, or the comfy jeans, or a raincoat (okay, this I can leave home)...anyway- you get the point. I over pack and I don't want to change

5. I should call in "busy". My boss would love that. "Hi, Lori. I'm on vacation next week and I have an awful lot to do before tomorrow. I'm much to busy to come to work today". HA HA That would go over well. We actually had a guycall in "tired" a few weeks ago.

6. This will probably only make sense to the geocachers around here and I'm not sure there are a lot. Jbean- I kind of explained the geo-bugs to you before I believe. Well, Jeep is doing this promotion where they released 4001 yellow Jeep travelbugs recently. They were distributed around the country in different ways. Well, in Wisconsin the allotment was sent to the Wisc. Geocaching Assoc. president. I talked to him on the phone after a few emails and drove down to Milwaukee to pick some up to distribute in my part of the state. Kind of fun/neat if you're into it. If not, you're probably very confused right now! Heehee I would like to drop a few off today too but it's raining AGAIN and I'm so busy. Here they are though, at the Jeep dealership on top of a real yellow Jeep.

1. Ladytex, I'm glad you liked my gratitude list. Sometimes I get so caught up in what I don't have, that I forget to appreciate what I do.

2. Jbean, I know this for a fact-- your favorite color is a poopy shade of brown. (I wanted to say the "s" word, "s" brown, but I knew I would be dotted out!) I'm right, aren't I? The purple stuff is a facade! Yay! What do I win??

3. Denecee, CONGRATS! Whether you were expecting to be a grandmother that young or not, being a grandmother (or aunt! :-)) is SO MUCH FUN!

4. Sage, I am so sorry that happened to you about the man you were falling for just disappearing. I know that was painful. Boy, do I know. Hang in there. It gets easier.

5. It is the last day of school for the students! The excitement in the air is palpable! I have to work through next week, then I have 3 weeks off, then I work 3 weeks of summer school, and then I have 3 more weeks off! WHOO HOO!

6. I am having a Lasik enhancement in about ten days. My eye doctor is such a hottie and now I will get to see him umpteen times throughout the summer for check ups! He makes me giggly when he leans in close to check out my eyes!

7. Kaili beat me... let's see... I need one more fact. How's this, I have lost 25 pounds since January with working out! Thanks to my buddies in the Workout Thread! Couldn't have done it without ya!

YAY SUMMER !!!!!!!

1. Denecee I would like to add my congrats to the list.

2. Hermi 25lbs is wonderful!! Congrats to you to.

3. Jbean I am happy to hear that Drew is doing well.

4. Kaili how is Leif doing.

5. My little one has been laying the boots to me for about 2 hours. Thankfully he or she behaves at night and lets me sleep.

6. I was just feeling really crappy all of a sudden and thought I may pass out. I took my blood sugar test and discovered why I was feeling that way. It was at 2.8. I quickly had a bit of a drinking box and felt a bit better.

7. I know that anything under 4.0 is getting serious but was never really told what was too high and what was too low.

8. Maybe someone here knows?

1. Denecee, that is exciting news! It'll be a difficult transition for everyone, but I'll bet you all take it in stride and prepare for a wonderful addition to your family.

2. Spitfire, I don't know how your test reads the blood sugar (i.e what measurement it is using) because I know that anything below 70 is considered low, but I don't know how 4.0 and 2.8 convert. Good luck, though - I have to be careful of my blood sugar every day, too.

3. I was so relieved to get the phone call from the vet this morning (results in my folder) that I went back to sleep after I posted the results and slept for 2 more hours!

4. Toby came back to bed with me and snuggled down my side to sleep. He is the sweetest dog

5. I am watching President Reagan's funeral on TV and am so moved by the liturgy and respectfulness of it all.

6. I got a little teary to think of the servicemen who are the pall bearers and what being a part of this event must feel like for them. Such an honor.

7. I am about to get ready and go into the office for a few hours. The university closes at noon every Friday during the summer, but I have some work I need to do and I am not a morning person.

8. I found out yesterday that my most favorite cousin is having gastric bypass surgery on the 21st. She has been fighting her insurance for 9 months and finally won. She is thrilled. We talked on the phone last night for 2 hours.

9. I am lucky enough to have a special person in my life right now who makes me happier and happier every day that I know him.

Spitfire, 3.55 to 6.11 are considered the high and low normal ranges. However, this may change just a bit considering you are pregnant.

Handy Converter to translate your results to the more common readings.

3. For some reason 2 wks after my surgery I'm in pain.
4. This has been since yesterday.
5. I want to thank everyone who has showm me alot of support thru my cancer journey.
6. Not sure when I start radiation but it will be in a few weeks I think.
7. I have days when I feel good mentally.
8. I have days when all I want to do is cry.
9. I thought this year was going to be a good one but it hasn't.
10. So I hope 2005 will be and I hope I will be around to see it.

1. Congrats Denecee and your family!

2. Hermi, great job on the 25 lb loss!

3. Is it just me or is June the month to be nickled and dimed to death? LOL.

4. Everytime I turn around, I'm getting a note from the school or a call from the little league people or something asking for just a couple bucks to cover such and such.

5. So far I'm up to $25 on things like, "we just need $2 for a class party" and "oh, you'll need to get $4 to us by Friday for the coach gift." I'd rather they just call and tell me to give them $20 to cover everything instead of all of it being seperate. It's mighty hard to keep up with how much money I have to give all these people at different times, lol.

6. I went out this morning and cleaned my sister's carpets since she was kind enough to let us have Caleb's party there last week. I bought a different stain remover since they didn't have the one I usually use, this stuff was awesome! I sprayed it on a spot that we have tried before to get up and never could, left it for a couple minutes and came back and the stain was gone.

7. Since I have it, and the carpet cleaner is out, I'm going to do at least my living room and hall carpet today.

8. We've got one more week of school left. I already have it set up with sis for us to do a kid trade once a week, and the other day the neighbor came over and asked if we wanted to share is play dates with his kids. Sounds like a plan to me!

9. Dakota has been begging for us to sign her up for a summer day camp thing. Problem is, they run week to week, it costs an arm and a leg to do it, and you have to pay for weekly excursions. It's just too pricey for me, especially since I'd have to sign both of them up, so we're not doing that.

10. However, I am considering enrolling her in cheerleading. She has been asking about that for awhile, and since baseball is over after next week, I may try that. Caleb wants to do basketball and I was sure he missed the season, but we got a note home from the school that they also run a fall league. My rule has always been one activity/organized sport at a time, and since baseball will be done, I have no problem with hi doing basketball later this year. It's a good way to keep them active and busy without overdoing it.

1. Gonna be a thread hog....

2. Jmm thanks for the info. I do know that my target is to be less than 7.8 after 1 hour.

3. This morning my reading was 8.3 and then two hours later when I was feeling crappy it had dropped to 2.8. All I know is the paper I got said that after reaching below 4.0 you will start to show all the signs I was having and I didn't know when it actually became dangerous.

1. Mocha!!!!! {{{{HUG}}}} I hope you are around for 2005 and that it will be a better year for you. I thought about you as I drove to DC yesterday.....DANG, wish I had time to go see you! Hang in there!

2. I was working at the Library of Congress yesterday and saw lots of the Capitol area. I put a post in the road trips thread about it. But read about Spy's caper's first.....mine were kind of somber.

3. I called a moving van company today. I thought that I could move on my own, but the thought of driving 680 miles in a big truck with my car in tow....well, I think that this road warrior has met her limits. Also my broken toe hurts and I'm not moving as fast as I need to for the packing. This too, will pass!

4. My mom is going with me to a one-room school conference in Iowa next week. I will be driving out on Tuesday, I think.

1. {{{Mocha}}}

2. I finally heard from my guy who lives far away. He unexpectedly got asked to start truck driving for a fruit packing company sooner that what he thought. It is a temporary thing he does every summer, but it's usually only for 6 or 7 weeks, but this is going to last twice as long. So now he's working 2 jobs, plus he has to stain his house, and also, his mother is not doing well, and doesn't have much time left. :-(

3. We are going to keep communicating as his time allows, and it will be a long time before I can see him again.

4. In the meantime, I'm continuing with my single's activities, and will still date, but only as friends.

5. As much as I'd like to, I know I'm not ready for a steady relationship just yet, so this is a good time to take just for me.

6. I got my hair colored the other day, and my hairdresser decided without telling me he was making it a little darker. I was a bit surprised, but he said he figured it would fade too much in the sun, so he added a bit of brown to the mix. I like it, but just have to get used to it.

7. My dad and stepmom are going to be here this weekend. I haven't seen them since last fall, and my stepmom had gastric bypass on Jan. 2, and has lost 90 lbs since then, so seeing her smaller is going to be a great thrill.

1) To echo what others have said here from time to time…although I don’t often express it, it always makes me smile to read about others’ happy news and I feel bad whenever someone is going through difficulties. Sometimes my silence is due to not reading a message until days after it had been posted and I’m unsure whether it’s wise to bring the topic back up. Sometimes it’s because I don’t want to intrude on what may be a personal matter, and sometimes it’s because I’m just naturally shy in these types of situations. But I do wish everyone the best and have often been touched by the support that TVCH members have shown each other. Spitfire, Mocha, Baby Drew, Sage, Denecee & family – you’re all in my thoughts (and I hope I didn’t miss anyone!).

2) Tuesday evening while I was out in my backyard a swarm of dragonflies suddenly appeared. I can’t even guess how many there were – easily hundreds, maybe more. But a few minutes later a flock of tree swallows flew in – they were beautiful, with iridescent teal and white feathers. They dived and swooped, chasing the dragonflies - which I felt rather bad about, but that’s Nature. It was amazing to stand amongst all that activity though – I actually felt a breeze from it.

3) Jbean, I can only snap my fingers using my left hand but then, I’m left-handed, lol. Oh, and I have to use three fingers, I can’t do it using only two.

4) I wish I could still look forward to summer vacation. The best I can hope for is maybe a weekend road trip this summer or fall and even that’s questionable (darn!).

5) I have a little 2-year old niece who’s an absolute darling! My mom and brother say she’s always asking/talking about me and that makes me feel all fuzzy inside! My brother & s-i-l are expecting a baby boy on June 29th.

6) I keep meaning to ask Kaili if geocaching is similar to orienteering. Guess I ought to look it up myself.

7) Glad to read Spygirl’s dog Toby is going to be okay. There was this gorgeous guy named Toby at my college and whenever I see or hear that name it makes me sigh, lol.

8) Edited to add - Oh, I counted wrong...Hope everyone has a beautiful weekend!
