1. Last night was my first night alone since last Friday, as hubby was off for the move that never ends.
2. After he left for work I went around the house picking up packing paper and shoving it into large plastic bags and suddenly had waaaaay too much time to think. Out of nowhere came a friend knocking at the door. She said " I had a feeling you could use some company." She said would you like help packing or moving? I said, No I'm bone tired and I need to rest and talk.
3. I was finally able to talk out just how angry I am at my sister since Mom's death last month. I don't know if or when I will get over being angry with her.
4. Today I took hubby to work to keep the truck and my best friend, Chris, came over and loaded up the truck, drove it over to the other house and unloaded it and then kept me company for a while.
5. I'm so tired of moving but at least its keeping me busy.
6. I also feel relief from the burden of a secret I've held for 35 years and no longer have to keep.
7. The computers are the last things we are moving so I'll have access til next week when we are having the dsl cut off and will have the cable modem set up at the other place soon after, I hope.

1. i am SO GLAD it is finally the weekend. woo hoo!

2. my friend and i went out on thursday night. it was a blast! we always have a good time, though. i knew things were getting serious when she ordered a round of rattlesnake shots! wth?

3. we have not been going out as much lately due to rl goings on and being busy, so it was a treat to get to go.

4. i wish i were in chicago with all those fun folks, too. i bet eggie, claiming to be innocent could teach me a thing or 2.

5. my full wage increase took effect last monday, and i got my first paycheck with it on there yesterday. it was a nice increase. yay. but no matter how much you make, you always have bills to pay with it, it seems. oh well, i am still thankful.

6. i think my cold is coming back, or it just never really went away. yuck! i will start again with the zinc lozenges and echinacea. i hate being sick!

7. sillycallimomma, do you have a vcr? i have noticed before that you have said you missed shows, too. the vcr is my friend for sure! btw, joan was really weird last night. i have mixed emotions about it.

8. i got 10 hours of sleep last night, and feel pretty good except for the stuffed up head. at least i am rested!

8.111113 the other night i got a random wrong number call on my cell phone, while i was asleep. the guy (who sounded a lot like big tom from survivor, btw) left a voice mail sayin "this is mark, you sound sweet, i don't know who i called, but if you ever want to call me, my number is ......" oh my god. i can truly say i've seen it all now. and no, i won't be calling him.

hope you all have a great weekend!

1. Gawd, Jbean, I just looked at your profile picture. You are gorgeous!

2. I think I want to get my hair cut and colored like yours!

3. This is the first Saturday night in 3 weeks that I haven't had something to do, and I thought I would enjoy a quiet night.

4. Instead I am finding myself very restless. I may have to go up to Barnes and Noble or TGIFridays or maybe even a late AA meeting just to get out of the house.

5. We usually have a good crowd of people at B & N on Friday and Saturday nights. People like me who don't enjoy the bar scene and just want to get out. Sometimes there is even a guitarist or acoustic band playing.

6. That is sounding more and more like a really good idea. Yep, I think I will do that.

7. The Three Musketeers with Keifer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, Oliver Platt and Chris O'Donnell is on Starz. Such nice eye candy!

8. The Relay for Life got thunderstormed out and cancelled about midnight, but we still had about 7 hours of festivities before we had to pack up and leave.

9. I got a luminaria for Mocha and for Tabby's dad. As soon as I get my pictures developed, I will post them, but I gotta warn you, I hoard film, and then turn in 20 rolls at once! I still have pictures from Christmas that I haven't developed!!

9.13 Okay, I'm going to do a long overdue graph for the Workout Thread and then I'm getting off my butt and outta here.

1. As some of you know, I'm in Chicago for the Chicago TVCH Gathering which was officially held tonight.

2. I know tonight's gathering was the official meeting but we've been partying since last Thursday! It's been non-stop and so much fun!!

3. The hotel has been wonderful to us and Reader234 did a fantastic job at organizing this event. She's my Cyberchild and I'm so proud of her!!

4. I absolutely LOVED meeting so many wonderful people and reuniting with TVCHer's I've met in the past...it was like a family reunion!! We talked and laughed and laughed and talked some more...it was great!!

5. Chicago is a great city to visit and there is so much history here and so much to see!! I wish I had come in on Wednesday instead of Thursday...I'll definitely be coming back to this awesome city and bringing Egbob with me next time!

6. I leave for home tomorrow morning and I'll take such warm and happy memories (and tons of pictures!) home with me. I'm sad that this wonderful event has come to an end...it's hard to say good-bye.

7. I am looking forward to getting home tomorrow though.

8. Both of my sons are home from college!! I spoke with both my sons today and it was good hearing their voices while knowing that they are at home!!

9. I'll be posting more about my trip in the Road Trip thread sometime during the week.

10. If you've never been to a TVCH meeting, I encourage you to give it serious thought...I've been to a few of these now and I haven't come across an axe murderer yet...LOL!!

I think we had to turn up the a/c when OI was around!!

5. reread what Egmom said on #10!!!

1. I have no idea what # we're on, so I'll follow Reader and do 8.

2. Mow and I had a great date night. We dropped the kids off at 6 last night and stayed to visit with sis and bil til about 7.

3. Then we went out to dinner and followed up with seeing Van Helsing. Lots of action, good movie, a little on the corny side, but it was fun.

4. He had been up yesterday morning at 2:30, so by 11pm, he was wiped out.

5. This morning we got up early to go shopping for Caleb's birthday present (Harry Potter lego sets.......those suckers are expensive!)

6. We were going to go see Troy, but instead decided since we were already shopping, we may as well do house and grocery shopping. Feels so good to get most of it out of the way and to have done it together without the kids.

7. Today I am going to work on and finish the wedding album for my little bro and his fiance. Wedding is next Sunday and I will be watching kids all week, so I have to get it done NOW!

8. I went to invite my neighbors to Calebs birthday party and they invited us to two graduations, lol. Their son is graduating from the 8th grade and their oldest daughter from the 5th. What kind of gift do you buy for those? I'm thinking probably not something as big as you would for a high school graduation, but at least something to mark the occassion.

well, since we are already off, i will just do a few facts. :-)

1. i just won a split ender on an ebay auction. anyone have one of these? i hope it works, cuz all the coloring i do to my hair really fries it. i have tons of split ends. keeping fingers crossed.

2. i touched up my highlights yesterday. i had about an inch of new growth, but last weekend i was too sick to do anything about it. it turned out really light this time. it looks ok. just kind of weird to get used to.

3. today i went to the DAV thrift shop in search of some work clothes. they all get ruined, so i don't like to spend much on them. i only ended up with one thing for work though. a really lightweight pair of jeans. (we can't wear shorts and we don't have AC, so these will be good).

4. i also bought a lambswool sweater that is from lerner, it is a tealish color. it is so pretty, and it was only $2.98, and i also bought a black winter bucket-style hat made of rabbit fur and olefin. it is SO CUTE! have i mentioned that i have an obsession with winter hats? well it was only 98 cents! woo hoo! i love bargains. nevermind that it is 80 degrees outside!

4. my poor friend called me yesterday, so disappointed that she had lost our 3rd row seats to see montgomery gentry at the state fair because she ran out of time. we ended up in the 14th row, which i still think is good. i told her that was just how life (and ticketmaster) works. we had row 15 last year when we saw martina and they were good, so it's all good.

5. i rented in america and rock star last night and bought love actually (previewed) at blockbuster. really enjoyed the ones i rented, and i saw love in the theater and loved it too. haven't watched it again yet. although i did watch the kelly video included with it.

6. hope everyone on the chicago trip makes it home safely!

whew! am i windy today, or what?!

1. I just got home from having dinner with Azriel who is back from Singapore via the Chicago route.

2. She had a great time. I wish I could have been there too.

3. But my son's 6th grade graduation was Friday and there was no way in heck I would miss that.

4. He was also one of the Valedvictorians and had to give a speech. I was one very proud Mommy.

5. I spent most of my morning cleaning our camper so we can go on a trip this upcoming weekend.

6. We will be off to Lake Fork in Texas. It is about 75 miles from Dallas.

7. My DH will be fishing and my son and I will head into Dallas most days.

8. I bought the Montgomery Gentry CD because I love that song Hell Yeah!!. I always thought of Jbean when I heard it even before she mentioned the concert.

9. I want to go see Shrek II. I thought about going yesterday but decided not to fight the crowd. Will go one day this week to the $2 matinee.

10. Alrighty everyone, I made it to 10 since the #'s are screwed up....the next person can start over at 1.

1. LOL, Kady! I finished the wedding album! Almost. I need a blue ribbon or something to balance out the white and silver and to add a couple pages and then it will be finished. I'm very excited, I think it turned out great, which is a good thing since I was afraid I wasn't going to like it.

1. Today I drove around Napa Valley looking for champagne. Found Domain Chandon and liked enough of what I tasted that I joined their wine club. Stopped at Coppola (the museum is fascinating) - anyone remember commercials for Inglenook Wines? That is the winery & vineyards that Francis Ford & his wife purchased. Ended up at Mumm. Best part of that was sitting at a table with three nice young men (two from San Fran, the third was a friend of theirs from Philly) instead of just tasting by myself. Lovely little afternoon. Too much drinking to do any more than that.

2. Starting the Firefly series on DVD. Watched it on Fox when it aired. Both hubby and I were extremely dissapointed to see it fail. Looking forward to seeing it in order and with the unaired missing episodes.

1. I love the mental image of a bar full of women yelling "Hell yeah!" along to that song!

2. I'm getting ready to start rereading the Harry Potter books for the umpteenth time in my life. It may sound so hokey given that they are not only fictional characters, but fictional characters who are 20 years younger than me, but Harry and friends help me make it through my own rough spots!

3. I wish I had a magic wand and a pensieve right now! I know exactly what I would do with them.

1. Yay! I'm back after having been deleted sometime yesterday!

2. I bought my tickets to go visit my dad yesterday- I'll be gone from June 12-19 (I think)- Saturday to Saturday in any case.

3. My best friend STILL hasn't had her baby yet. We're both getting a little impatient with the baby- although I think she is more than me cause she's pretty uncomfortable these days. She's not actually due for another week though. We were all expecting it about a week ago.

4. It has been pouring like crazy here all weekend. Didn't stop me from going to the cabin Saturday night. Didn't get to do a whole lot there besides start a fire, play cards, and watch the rain but it was fun anyway. :-)

1. I'm back home after being in DC and NY on business for a week.

2. I'm exhausted but have a gazillion work things to do. Coming to TVCH is a break from my work today. I've already been at it for 10 hours.

3. As I flew through Chicago O'Hare airport yesterday, I thought of all the TVCHers at the Chicago get-together and wished I could have been there.

4. I still am trying to figure out a way to come to the Las Vegas meeting -- are there any days (2-3) that would be better than others? I have a huge work project the week after so can't dedicate a whole week to being in Vegas.

5. I think I gained 10 pounds last week (I refuse to actually step on a scale, though, so I don't know for sure!). I had Maryland blue crabs TWICE during the week -- and they were good! I also managed to get to my favorite southern BBQ place and pigged out. Oh, and I had some boxed Krispy Kremes too. I can't help it -- those are all things I can't get in Vancouver so I NEEDED them! :-) But of course now I feel tremendously guilty. Blah!

1. My broken toe is now a lovery shade of purple. I am hobbling faster, but I must really look funny limping along. GRRRR!!!!

2. Got my haircut tonight, and even though the hairdresser HATES to cut my style she did an excellent job and this is the best haircut that I've ever had in Clarion.....and that is in SIX years.

3. My 25th high school reunion is on Friday. I don't know what I will wear....I'm heavier than I've ever been and don't feel too great about the looks right now. I have four closets of clothes and nothing to wear!

4. My car will get its last Pennsylvania license on Wednesday after the last inspection and an oil change for the road trip to Illinois. Wish I were moving by the end of the month so I didn't have to renew.

5. It isn't raining today for the first time in a long time. Thank goodness! I am happy to send rain to anyone who needs it!

6. I am looking forward to and dreading my house hunting trip next week. I will feel better once I find a place to live. I also will feel better once this house sells, and it is still a clutter bomb of papers and clothes. SHEESH I didn't know that I had so many books, papers and clothes. Packing would be much more pleasant if I weren't working and didn't have a broken toe, but I'm making the best of it.

1. I just realized May is missing a whole week. Monday cannot be Memorial Day!!

2, That means there is just 6 more days of school!

3. They are tearing this building down in 7 days, so everyone has to be packed and out!

4. No more computers at work, 10 min at they are shut down!

5. Today is CHOCOLATE DAY at school, all these kids have giant chocolate bars, not me!

6. I get to go see my girlfriends from Boy Scout Woodbadge, she used to be a bear... I get to sing "I used to be a buffalo"

7 Time ran out, off line NOW

1. My house is being built at lightening speed! We are still on schedule to close at the end of July.

2. It seem I have to start packing to move. I have so much crap (and yes, I mean crap) and I dread having to relocate it all to a new place - moving again within a year. It almost doesn't matter that I'm only moving about 1/2 mile down the road...it still has to be MOVED.

3. I am traveling to New Orleans Friday through Monday for a friend's wedding. We've been friends since the 2nd grade.

4. I need to find out if Ddr is gonna be around in N.O. when I'm there - I have all day Monday with nothing at all to do. My flight isn't out until 6:30pm.

5. I am so behind on what I am supposed to do at work. This Thursday is my last night to teach a class until the first week of August (but I still do clincal supervision).

6. The biggest goal for next week is to book my flights to Reno and Las Vegas for July. I am glad that the university is paying for the airfare expenses.

7. It is clouding up outside - guess it is gonna rain again. We had some nasty storms last night.

8. I'm out of facts - except to say that I had a great time in Chicago!

1. This has been and will continue to be a hectic, busy week.

2. Between the wedding, Caleb's birthday, tons of errands, school stuff, and veggie trays, I don't think I'll get to rest til sometimes next week!

3. I just realized it was the fourth Tuesday of the month. I have to wait til 12 to go to Kota's class because it's street sweep day and the whole neighborhood is done today.

4. Darren has to work late tonight, so we won't be able to go to the college today. I can't fill out his application, he has to do it, so I'll print it out for him and will take both of ours over to the college in the morning.

5. I really wanted to get that done today, and I guess I could still go drop mine off, but I'd have to go back tomorrow anyways, so might as well do both at the same time.

6. Neices and nephews are coming to spend the night with us tomorrow night and all day Thursday. Sis wants to drop the baby off earlier so they can take oldest neice to buy an outfit for the wedding.

7. Caleb decided he wants chocolate chip cookies for his class for his birthday.

8. Dakota just hopped on the bus for school (bus driver drove right past us, ended up stopping a block and a half later!)

9. Ever so often, I get struck with a little pang while watching the kids head off to school or out the dor with dad with nothing but a little wave goodbye. I kind of miss those days when they'd wrap their little bodies around my legs and have to be pried off because they wanted to stay with me. My babies are growing up too dang fast!
