1. I just decided I'll go for 10 things because I'm bored.

2. Jbean, I can't snap with my left hand, either, but I think it's because I have a metal plate in it.

3. I'm very concerned about the argument/disagreement/general unpleasantness that my mother in law and I are having.

4. I finally got really upset and told her how I felt about a few things. Not angry, but very upset.

5. By the time I left her house I couldn't even speak from crying.

6. I really don't want things to be difficult, but I feel that she needs to be the one to make the next effort.

7. I'm really glad that dh is on my side through all of this, though.

8. It's not that my mother in law is a bad person, just . . . inconsiderate? Occasionally insensitive? She thinks she's being incredibly nice, but really she's treating me as an acquaintance.

9. She's told me for eight years that she wants me to feel like family. Like her daughter. I don't know how to feel like family with a person that treats me every day like she may as well have met me last week.

10. I'm really not all that comfortable randomly entering discussions whether here or IRL. Sometimes I have things I'd like to contribute, good tidings to wish, sympathy to express, or a story to share . . . but I hold back for some reason. But I'd like to say now that anytime I read on here that someone is happy it makes me smile, if someone is hurting I'm sorry for their pain, or if someone needs prayers I send them wholeheartedly.

Boy that was sappy.

1. I can't snap the fingers of my left hand when I am holding a metal plate either.

2. I often wonder if there is anything in the world Jmm can't find out. She is just amazing.

1. I'm LOL at Juju's left handed remark!
2. Thanks for finding the hair thread Juju
3. When I snap my fingers I use my thumb against my center finger on my left hand and against my third finger on my right hand.
4. Jmm is like that in RL, too.

1. Today was my first day at my new job.

2. It went well. Hoping it gets better.

3. It's been extremely hot the past two days and it will continue like this until Sunday, I think. Hard to believe it was only in the low 60's this past weekend.

4. We went to visit some friends of ours on Saturday and it was nice to get away. We were going to go out four-wheeling but it was just too dang cold, at least for us girls. The boys went out, but only for a few minutes.

5. My grandmother's memorial service is Saturday morning. I haven't cried about it since the night after she died. I know seeing my whole family will make me very emotional. I'm praying for the strength to keep it together.

1. Cindori, I sorta neglected you in my morning facts after mentioning a couple of other Factoidees....I'm sorry. I do enjoy your posts as well. I have some thoughts about your mil situation and I'll try to remember to post in your folder later.

2. jbeany, thank you for giving us a Baby Drew update and for voting...yay! And golly GEEEE, you are one smart hillbilly jbeany...LOL!!

3. landi, is holly okay?...or does she have to be tested because she can't snap her left fingers while holding a metal plate too??

4. Today I went in for a crown prep and I've got to say, I really like my dentist! He gives the best numbing injections...I didn't even really feel the needle poking into my gums. However, my body gets stressed when I get medical stuff done and I came home and slept for 2 hours. Now I'll be up til midnight....oh well.

5. Cindori! I'm so glad I just remembered this fact!! DS#2 has gone to see That 70's Show being taped/filmed about 4 times this past year. It's one of our favorite shows to watch. Egbob and I met in high school during the early 70's and so we can relate to that whole time period.

6. Came back in Edit Mode 'cause Froggiegirl already posted 5 and Froggiegirl, I will be thinking about as you attend your grandmothers' services. I'm sorry for your loss sweetie.

1. I was watching LOTR Return of the King tonight with my friend, Larry, and was thinking about all the struggle and perseverance and fighting that was taking place all for the sake of the endurance of humanity, and having peace and happiness for it.

2. It made me think about all the struggles and fighting I've had to face and will continue to face just for the sake of my own peace and happiness.

3. I was having a daily dialogue with a guy I was really falling for, then all of a sudden he stopped communicating. Silence. We both felt like we've known each other our whole lives, we had so much in common and we shared some very special moments together.

4. I'm deeply hurt, because once again I get the silent treatment for reasons I do not know. My poor little heart has sure taken a beating, but it's getting stronger and stronger, and I will persevere, and I will fight to find peace and happiness with that special someone.

5. I will be like Lance, and will adopt the creed, Never Give Up!

6. I'm hoping my brother sets up his dart board soon, so I can practice more. It's been very therapeutic for me. My favorite games are the 01 games, but I also play Cricket.

7. Larry and I played darts again at his house, and I beat him all 3 games of 301, and he beat me the one game of Cricket we played.

1. I am amazed that Sage keeps on finding all kinds of men to date. WOW! I haven't had a real date in, well, about three or four years. Had several dates that don't count....the long distance guys, the gay guys, the "your my best friend guys". Don't want to count how long it's been as it's too depressing. Maybe I'm too picky, maybe I live in a crappy little town.....

2. I'm looking forward to moving and meeting new guys. It's GOT to be better there.

3. I'm getting really tired of the people here being mean to me for moving. "How can you leave us" "How can you move" and getting the cold shoulder. SHEESH, I've NEVER lived amongst so many small minded, self-centered people in my life. I will be very glad to leave.

4. Whenever I move, I find it hard to "let go" of some of my favorite things/organizations/etc. Well, it's gonna be easy this time. Everytime I feel "OH, I will really miss (fill in the blank)" then something happens and severs the ties or the good feelings. I was president of a musical organization in Pittsburgh that means a lot to me. The new president SLAMMED me in the annual report and put the board meeting on a day that she knew that I wouldn't be there for. So, no going away party, no thanks for all your hard work, no nothing. She is a moron, and the organization has gone down the tubes under her leadership, and she blames ME. Well, lets see what happens next year when I'm not around to take the blame.

5. I play "Magic the Gathering" and am really excited about the new cards in "Fifth Dawn". I'm such a geek, I pre-ordered a whole booster box. I am complete in green and am only missing a few cards in the other colors. I might play in my first tournament on Saturday.

6. I am getting ready to go to the Library of Congress tomorrow to get my research done for a paper I'm giving in IOWA next Thursday. My other option is to wait until I'm on the road and stop by a university library on the way, find the info, write the paper and make my handouts the day before I give the paper at 8 am. I'm all for procrastinating, but that would just be cutting it TOO close!

7. My broken toe now looks normal when I first wake up. As the day goes on, it gets swollen and red and sore. I have two pair of shoes that I can wear, so that is an improvement. I could also stuff my foot into my organ shoes for Sunday, which was MUCH better than two weeks ago.

8. CRUD, I should call this post, "Marm complains about moving and other things". Just gearing up for my meeting in an hour with the pastor for worship planning. He's still mad that I'm leaving. He needs to get over it.

Instead of a fact list today, I'm doing a gratitude list. :-)

1. A nephew and nieces who run to hug me when they see me.

2. Coffee and conversation with good friends.

3. A body that is whole and healthy and active.

4. Cats that sleep curled up in the crook of my knees at night.

5. The sound of a train.

6. A sister and brother and parents who are also my best friends.

7. Seeing a shooting star unexpectedly.

8. Watching the sun rise at the beach.

9. Finding 4-leaf clovers.

Hermione, what a great idea! Thanks for prodding me. After all my complaining lately, I feel like I should do the same.

I am grateful for:

1. Three wonderful kids who are respectful, successful, and loving.

2. A wonderful husband who shows me that he loves me in lots of little ways every day.

3. A job that allows me to do what I like to do all day, and the flexibility to be there when my kids need me.

4. A body that takes care of me, even when I don't take very good care of it.

5. A home in a very nice community where my kids can come and go and feel safe, and where there are people that will look out for them when I'm not there.

6. 5 sisters and 2 brothers that love me and care enough about me to make me feel suffocated sometimes.

7. A church family that is there for me, not just on Sunday, even though I'm too stubborn to ask for help.

8. Online friends that I can talk to and laugh and cry with, that I can learn and grow with, that help bring me up when I reach the lowest of lows.

9. The other teenagers around here that call me "mom".

10. and last, but definitely not least, the faith that has sustained me through all that I have been going through and continue to go through.

1. Jake got his crown at the dentist today. He cried a little bit and I could hear him yelling, "I told you to stop doing that!" But he seems to be just fine, I'm glad it is all over.

2. I saw a double rainbow last night, it was beautiful!

3. We have had so much rain I feel like I am going to float away, we haven't had rain like this all spring so we really need it.

4. We had thunder and lightning the other night, it was pretty cool.

5. I think I am going to take the kids and go visit my mom and dad next week. I miss them. Actually, DH may take a couple days off of work and come with us.

6. I am not going to be the schtickler that sets us straight. Isn't that Eggie's job?

3. Well if I'm a schtickler, then Jewels is the #10 Factoidee Queen...hehe!!

4. Jewels, tell Jake that when I get my crown put on I'm gonna tell the dentist "to stop doing that" too...

5. Don't ask me what got into me tonight, but I cooked a huge dinner for Egbob and our two ds's. And while dinner was cooking, I decided to make Zucchini Bread from scratch...it's baking right now!

6. I'm going to find out what Tivo is all about since our VCR is completely broken. We will be needing some type of TV recording device soon.

I get 8! Yay, one of my lucky numbers.

1. I am not a schtickler, at least I don't think I am?
2. I love zucchini bread.
3. It is a close second to banana bread.
4. Strawberry Banana Berry Burst Cheerios is my new favorite cereal.
5. A little while back I had a yummy Strawberry Banana shake at McD's.
6. I think my favorite McD's shake is the Shamrock shake.
7. My favorite color is green.
8. But, for some reason I usually forget to wear it on St. Patrick's Day.

1. I love truffles to Jbean!
2. I love Zuchinni bread Eggie... I haven't had it in ages though. I gave up on my veggie garden because I was just feeding the wildlife around here, and although I love the wildlife, they need to find a new diner!
3. I'm going on a hunt for a lady slipper tomorrow so I can photograph it...
4. I went out to dinner to celebrate our loan approval and had mahi mahi, german dumplings, red cabbage, homemade sourdough bread and triple chocolate cake... I'm STILL full!
5. I'm going to do an hour of The Firm this morning!
6. I don't know what my favorite color is. It changes each year and is reflected in my closet. This year there is lots of turquoise and red./
7. I am going to have a bonfire tonight... was supposed to do it Saturday but I was too tired
8. Sophie is so well trained that when I let her out last night and pretended to tie her up she didn't to past where her rope would have allowed her to go, even when my son was calling to her... lol! It was funny!
9. I am looking forward to getting some sun today!

1. I always feel like I must hurry.
2. My life seems to be zipping by.
3. My big news is huge to me but may not be to others.
4. first, did I tell ya'll that my step daughter and her 3 kids moved in with us? I think I did.
5. My almost 18 yr old had her graduation walk last week.
6. She actually graduated in Jan and moved out in April.
7. We let her because she is a honor roll student, has a job and is responsible.
8. Less than 2 months and her roomate decides to leave without notice.
9. Next is the big news, but I have to tell you that I'm still sensitive to news and may break down crying.
10. MY baby(the above), is having a baby!!!
10.5 Her and the father have been dating for two years but neither planned this. The condoms that they got from the Health clinc broke on May 2, 2004. Which means wether I'm ready or not I'm going to be a grandma again at the age of 39. Yes I had mine young too. Sorry I'm going on and on but she was the one who had a plan. I think she will still go to school for nursing, it's just going to take longer.
