1. I sent off my shipment to Nova Scotia this afternoon!!!! It cost $180 to ship. Wow! 2. This is a huge weight off my shoulders. Next week I can relax a bit. Whew! 3. Set up for trade show this afternoon. We have a bubblicious hot young body next to our booth who owns some spray on tan places. So we'll be having fun this weekend. Maybe I can get a free coupon for a tan too! 4. Went shopping after we set up. Got some great sales on pants, Timberland sandals and a Fossil purse. Stocked up on MAC makeup too. 5. Afterwards to my MIL new house. She's moving in today!!!!! Woohoo! 6. She wanted my son and niece to stay with her tonight for a slumber party. 7. I hope the Las Vegas group will post a lot of pictures throughout the weekend!

1.I am so out of the loop here! 2. I try and stop by every day and at least read the wonderful updates, but it is so hard to find the time to post to anyone about anything 3. I am reading about everyone's life though and missing the interaction with you all so much! 4. I am signed up for 12 units again next semester-on my way to a BA now-yikes! 5. Hopefully I will not have to work too much longer though since DH got a job as a loan officer!!!! Woohoooooo 6. I have been waiting 8 years for him to get a job! Although, he will still be attempting to finish his last semester at college too-double yikes! 7. I need a vacation so bad-or at least a slower pace in life-I have pneumonia right now-that seems to be what happens when you catch bronchitis and don't get into the dr. for 3 weeks 8. I should be in bed sleeping, but like always my mind is too busy running a mile a minute...... MISS YOU ALL!!!

1. i had the best time last night! the travis tritt concert was great! he is really good live. 2. before the concert i grabbed some chinese takeout to take to my friends house. we also had a couple of drinks. there are these new bacardi silver low carb black cherry flavored...SO GOOD! 3. it is funny because the venue for the concert is a really upscale, classy (expensive) place, and travis is kinda a rough ol' boy. lol 4. the radio station also threw in a free travis t-shirt with my tickets! they were selling these shirts in the lobby for $30! 5. we were in a row almost by ourselves, like right in the middle of it. unfortunately there were some OBNOXIOUS teenagers in front of us carrying on like you wouldn't believe. 6. so when i got up to use the restroom, i asked the usher if we could move away from them, as there were many open seats. 7. we moved 3 rows up, and it was much better just being that much further away from them. 8. i think i will lay out today. it is supposed to only be 85 f, and not so humid today! woo hoo! 9. i am also planning on buying some hot pink fabric to make some curtains to match my new bedroom set. hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

1. YAY JBean! I smile every time I see you post! My mom, since moving to the hills about 8 years ago, has really gotten into country music and she has CMT on all the time. It makes me think of you! 2. I like country music even if it is not what I tend to listen to myself. I have even come to like rap music. There isn't much music I DON'T like. My favorites are still Tom Petty for his laid-back, mellow style and Clay Aiken for his voice. 3. My favorite CD, however, has got to be the "O Brother, Where Art Thou" soundtrack. I LOVE that CD. I'll Fly Away and Angel Band are two of my favorites. I think Clay would do a such a beautiful job singing old time songs like that. I would love to hear him sing I'll Fly Away or You Are My Sunshine. 4. I have 2 new kittens-- Hermione and Nymphadora. My cat Chessie was originally named Hermione, but a friend of my dad's said she looks like the kitten in the old Chesapeake and Ohio railroad ads and she got renamed by him and it stuck. So now I have a Hermione again. Nymphadora is also from Harry Potter. It is the first name of Tonks. 5. I really didn't need TWO more cats, but a good friend of mine up where my parents live had a stray cat adopt her and the stray had a litter of four kittens. I was going to take one. Then last week while I was there, two of the little kittens got up into my friend's car engine and she didn't know and they died when she started her car. She was devastated. We just didn't want to split up the remaining two so I took them both. 6. I start working summer school this Monday. 7. Blech. 8. There is a really weird teacher there who has a crush on me. He comes in the library 2-3 times a day for the stupidest reasons. He gives me the heebie-jeebies. Poor man. He is probably a good guy at heart, but he bugs me. 9. I can run a mile and a quarter now! My goal is 3 miles by the end of summer and 6 miles by next spring. There is a 10K race that I want to run in next March. I am really thrilled with how quickly I am making progress, especially because I have mild asthma that makes such strenuous exercise even more difficult. Ironically enough, running is also one of the best ways to combat asthma so as I stick with it, it should be less and less problematic. 10. Coffee is good stuff, man. Have a great weekend everyone, and for the Vegasites, HAVE FUN!

1. I've been at work for the last 4 hours. I'm heading to the Mall now to let my mind relax. 2. Egbob has been on a backpack trip for the last 3 days and I expect a smelly Egbob to arrive home tonight, where I'll strip him nekkid, burn his backpacking clothes and ask him to take a shower...LOL!!

1. Egbob got home about an hour ago. I didn't strip him nekkid and burn his clothes. He had a great trip with his buddies and they really enjoyed all the little adventures they encountered on this backpack trip. 2. Egbob told me that once they reached their 15 mile destination at some lake, he found a nearby meadow that was filled with different colors of wildflowers and he thought of me. Isn't that sweeeeeeet!! 3. Egbob also mentioned that as they came home through the Lancaster, Santa Clarita area tonight, he saw all the fires and ran into some heavy smoke. He's concerned that maybe some people might lose their homes. I hope not.

1. Take a picture of the curtains, Jbean! 2. I slept like utter crap last night and am so tired right now, but am fighting the desire to take a nap because I start working summer school tomorrow and I have to be at work at 7 in the freaking morning! If I nap now, I will never fall asleep tonight! 3. I like grits. 4. Eggie, there is a Tom Petty song called Wildflowers that I love. It goes-- You belong among the wildflowers You belong somewhere close to me Far away from your trouble and worry You belong somewhere you feel free It is a beautiful song. You made me think of it when you shared about your husband and the field of wildflowers. 5. I LOVE wildflowers. Don't bother with roses or carnations... sunflowers, daisies and black-eyed susans are the way to my heart!

1. Hermi, thank you for sharing Tom Petty's song Wildflowers, I'll have to listen to it! 2. I've been sleeping like crap too, just like Hermi! And I've been having "stress" dreams. 3. I know I'm stressed out with this work schedule pace where I've worked every single day for the last 14 days, Sat. & Sun included. One night I dreamed that hundreds of huge rats were chasing me trying to nip at my bare feet. 4. I really, really, really need a vacation! 5. I'll be on the airplane in 4 more days and then I'm going to forget all about work! Yay!! 6. jbeany, I want to see those hot pink curtains too!!

1. I couldn't sleep last night to save my life. I finally dragged my tired rear out of bed this morning at 4:30 a.m. I figured that would give me a good 2 hours to imbibe lots of coffee before starting summer school. 2. And I didn't take a nap yesterday. I don't know why I am having so much trouble sleeping. At least I am not having rat dreams like Eggie! 3. I refuse to take a nap today, too. Mercifully, I should be able to stick to that plan. Summer school is over at 1 p.m., then I am having a late lunch with a good friend and then I am dropping off the cake order for my parent's anniversary party this coming Saturday. Then I will go running and by then I should be good and tired and able to sleep tonight. 4. Yes, I know my sleep patterns are terribly fascinating. You guys really need to try to contain yourselves. Your excitement is embarrassing me. 5. Must.Have.Coffee. 6. Coffee.Is.My.Hero. 7. Is it football season yet?

1. I keep putting off writing up some facts, so since I'm wide awake right now, I figure I'll think some up. 2. After several months of dating numerous, different guys, I've finally met one that is outstanding in every way. 3. My gosh, I'm so leery of saying anything because every time I think I've found soneone to report on, it doesn't turn out with them. 4. I've not been able to do much exersising this summer because of the surgeries and the fact that I'm not healing very quickly. 5. As a result, I've gotten rather flabby, and have gained a few pounds. 6. I haven't watched even 1 minute of Big Brother. I can't believe I can go from being so addicted to somthing to having no interest at all in it. 7. It's interesting to look back and see the changes that have taken place in my life over the last couple of years. 8. I've discovered when I get drunk, which isn't that often, I become very talkative and lovey-dovey. 8.1 I love the realness of the people here on this board, and appreciate so much the openess and sharing involved, and I love you all!

1. i slept horribly last night, too! 2. when i did sleep i was having a nightmare! 3. i woke up at one point and had a stomach ache. 4. i was having dreams (nightmares) about losing my mind. 5. this is a new one for me. it is frightening how real dreams can seem. 6. work is going to be no fun today. i can already tell. 7. my eyes hurt! 8. maybe it won't be too hot today, and the day won't be SO bad. 9. sorry i have complained through all my facts....hopefully it won't happen again. eta: i took a picture of the curtains, but ya'll know my camera isn't digital, so it will be awhile, cuz it's also at the front of the roll of film.

1. I've been enjoying my summer immensely! Now that the weather has straightened out. 2. I had a community bbcue with some dear friends who I met when they started coming to our resort 9 years ago. We have so much fun, act so goofy, and enjoy each others company. I'm blessed! 3. I have been learning jewelry making. Started with making hemp bracelets and ankelets with beads, and now I'm doing earrings and necklaces on wire. It's fun, relaxing and saves my hubby money on my jewelry addiction! 4. I feel bad for Jbean... I know that dreams can screw up a morning. I dreamed I was drunk last night and woke up with a hangover! LOL! 5. My ear feels a little better today, it "popped" last night and relieved some of the pressure. 6. DS and Hubby are working together today so DS can make some money to put in our gas hog jetski! 7. I'm going to do a little shopping this morning, go to a meeting and get back to playing in the sun with my guests! YAY~! 8. Tomorrow we are all (guests) going to Itasca. They have graciously offered to pack a lunch for me and Jordan, drive us there, and pamper us all day... woo hoo! 9. I'm getting excited about my trip to Phoenix next month. 5 days with my family, pampering at a Spa and I think we are going to take a day trip to the Grand Canyon. 10. Whew! didn't know if I could think of 10!!

1. I'm HOME!! (from Boy Scout Camp) 2. The bestest part was seeing both my boys shine in their leadership rolls. They become part of a ceremonial tribal dance, that reminds them of the past, and asks new boys to come and sign up for "cheerful service" This is an old historical ceremony, and the boys as brothers in it together was awesome. 3. it is the only lodge in the states that does the tribal dance, with face paint, and run in the 'audience' and "pull" scouts that have been elected by thier peers (that makes it awesome, its a secret, until that moment, only the scoutmaster knows, he submits the names on Monday, and those that are pulling each take 10 - 20 names, and try and get to know/recognize thier faces by the Friday Fire!) - and the political group desk boys are trying to stop it - so the Boy Scout National Scout Executive came to watch, 4. The reason the boys can do it, is because they have a few Indians in their scouts, and because they have always maintained a relationship with the Tribal Nation (Menominee) local, the Menominee help the scouts with the ceremony.. and they approve what the scouts do!! 5. Every time DD saw DS#1 (18) talk with a girl (there are 3 on staff, and some come up to visit!) DD would run to DS and 'protect' her brother!! (lol, just wait till SHE's a teenager!!) 6. Both boys were very tolerant of their little sister!! Very sweet!! Memorable moments!! 7. I have mosquito bites!! They itch!! 8. I'm very tired!! I slept in a tent, with DD, it got down to 52F at night -great sleeping weather, hard wake up and get on your clothes weather!! 9. Running Water, and flush toilets are a wonderful invention!! 10. DD worked on learning to swim, first time she swam with out flotation device - she dog paddled and worked on strokes!! She's growing up too!!

1. I had to go to a co-ed bridal shower, 2 hours away from our house this weekend. The second co-ed bridal shower for this couple, and Tim's the best man and I'm singing so we sort of have to go... can you tell I wasn't that enthused about it?! 2. Four more days, one hour and fourty-five minutes and I'm on holidays!!! 3. Can you believe it's been six months since we were in Mexico?! Where does the time go?!!!!

1. I am now in my new office. It is UGLY...yellow/gold colored, worn wood floor, crappy worn wood desk, fairly new (but crappy) Wurlitzer upright piano. SIGH. I have a good view and an air conditioner that works. The new printer and scanner are in their boxes. I WILL be OK, I WILL NOT cry, I WILL hang some cool curtains and maybe it will look better. There is no elevator to get boxes of books up here. This is a problem. 2. Got my parking permit, health insurance, payroll and lots of odds and ends done today. Still need to get a cell phone. 3. I really like the town and I drove by my new house and was relieved that I remembered where it was. 4. The people here are really nice. And it appears that there are no bears in the backyards, just snakes!!! LOL Looking forward to meeting Egbok and seeing Secret smile in Gettysburg on Friday or Saturday!!! WHOOWHOO!! Come join us!

1. I've been HOGGING the facts thread lately. 2. I would really love to meet you guys, Schoolmarm, and I am probably only a 5 hour drive from ya'll, but this weekend is my parents' 40th anniversary and we (the 3 kids) are throwing them a huge party. Over 100 people are coming, so I think I may have a wee conflict! 3. Today I had a late lunch with a great friend. She is a teacher at my school and she just started taking sign language classes, in large part because of me. She was able to sign and fingerspell a few things at lunch today when I had trouble hearing! What a good friend, huh? Gives me the warm fuzzies. 4. I think snakes are cool. Every once in a blue moon, I will see one on a nature trail and I like to poke it to make it slither away simply to gape at how quickly it can move. This is probably unwise. I never claimed to have common sense. I also find spiders fascinating. Yes, I know, I'm weird. 5. HI DEEJ!!!!!! LOVE your latest picture!!

1. work was not as bad as i thought it would be today despite my lack of sleep, and pms. 2. it wasn't too hot today, so that made things better. i got 10+ hours worth of work done in 8 hours because of this. (i find it very difficult to move quickly in 100 degree heat...just sayin!) 3. i have a pair of navy blue scrub bottoms that i wear to work because they are lightweight. i sweat so much when i wore them last week that there were outlines of dried salt around the waist, and under my butt. YUCK! i know that is gross, but, this is just to give an idea of the miserable heat sitaution. 4. as jim stafford says: "i don't like spiders and snakes". in fact i screamed the other day when i felt what i thought was a piece of hair on my shoulder, and it was a tan-colored spider! oh the horror! 5. when my kitty is in a sweet mood (as opposed to psychotic...as these are her only 2 moods), she will turn her head sideways in front of my face so i will kiss the top of her head. awwww 6. right now she is in her psychotic mood. 6.133333 i am TIRED!
