1. Hi Everyone!! I only worked half a day today, so I'm home now...yay!

2. War, want me to bring up a big bottle of red wine that we can share?? I just know it'll fix all those moments you've been having lately...love you War!!

3. ...Kady!!...a men's dance show!! Take me with you!!!....giggle!! And I expect a full and very thorough and detailed report when you return....ohhhh yeahhhhh!!

4. Kaykay, the last thing I remember about you posting here was about your blue toes, right? And now you have pink eye?? Hmmmmmm....let's hope you will not be dealing with another color of the rainbow anytime soon....take care!!

5. Spitfire....I've missed your thread about naming your baby! I need to really get caught up on the board...I'm so behind. Is this your first baby?? No matter, any pregnancy is always a thrill because they all are so different. I had three and I could tell you stories about each one of the pregnancies...LOL. I send my hearty congratulations on your new baby-to-be....this is so exciting!! I love babies!!!

6. Today at work, I actually opened the foot tall load of mail and heard the dozen or so voice mails but I still haven't read all the emails I received while I was off from work....I am now singing "the sun will come out tomorrow..." from Annie...giggle!!

7. Okay, don't hate me because I'm able to do this...but I'm in my bathing suit and I'm on my way out back to lay in the sun and work on a little tan and listen to my classic rock radio station...c'ya!!

7.5 I think Kaykay's line about triplets due any day is an excellent retort for Spitfire to use when people remark upon the future Juju's size.

1. i hate allergies! never ending clogged nose. it sucks!

2. i woke up this morning with an aching shoulder blade. weird. must have slept on it wrong, however that's possible.

3. work is going better this week, thank GOD! i am ahead of my schedule now, and i actually got my full wage increase for this new job, effective as of yesterday! WOO HOO! gotta love when things that they say they will do, actually get done. (doesn't happen much at my work, lol).

4. i went and seen the movie mean girls on sunday afternoon. it was pretty funny. it made my high school days look tame! unbelievable!

5. i had a nightmare about being in a plane crash last night. very strange, considering, i have only flown once, and i was about 11 years old at the time, and have no plans to do so anytime soon. hmmmmmm

6. there is no one left on american idol now that i just love. diana and latoya are the best singers imho, but i dunno know, just don't see the personalities that i want to be the idol. lol

7. i'm gonna go to bed shortly. seems like i am just zapped all the time. i could go to bed at 7 o'clock and probably still be tired.

8. it is starting to get hot and humid here. it is hell in the summer at work...manual labor with no AC in the shop....NICE

1. You wouldn't believe all the home renovations I've had done in the last ten days. I've had some great student workers and Mom and Dad helping. New kitchen and porch flooring, basement walls and floor painted, living room wall repaired, fireplace morter replaced, etc. etc, etc. House basically looks good.

2. I just took out eight big trash bags o'stuff! THAT makes the house look better, too.

3. Dad left for Illinois with his car packed full of boxes of books.

4. Mom is still here, and I put her to work grading papers, as we were both too tired to pack anything or clean anything.

5. Mom melted my vacuum hose. It looks like a strange sculpture. SIGH! I guess that we will have to vaccuum with the shop vac.

6. Dad will come back on Friday, I think, with a pick-up truck to take one of the pianos back to Illinois for my niece. I can't imagine driving a pickup for 650 miles with a piano in the back.

7. The people who bought one of my others pianos will be picking it up Wednesday night. That means that by Sunday I will be down to just one piano and one organ.

8. I am teaching summer school right now. This is a 2.5 hour class every day. It is really messing up my feeding schedule, as the class goes from 11-1:30. So I eat right before it and again right after!

9. I wish that I had last semester's grades finished, but I don't. They are due Thursday at noon, so I'd better get back to grading again.

Yard sale, part two is Friday and Saturday. WHOO HOO!

1. I got my blood work results back. I have "great" cholesterol levels. Yipee. I figured as much, but it's kind of nice to know.

2. It's supposed to be 80 today- or near 80 anyways. It's going to be uncomfortable though because it's really humid- muggy, hazy....I feel for ya, Jbean cause I feel the same way about heat+work!

3. At least it's about 80 degrees warmer than it was 3 months ago!

4. I made chili yesterday. Yum- it's pretty good if I do say so myself :-)

5. My new boss- the one who won't let me have Friday off even though I should have the employee of the year award for attendance if we had one- her brother passed away last weekend. Forty three years old with four kids :-(

6. A guy actually called in to work TIRED last night. He called and said he was too tired to come in because he only slept 2 hours the night before- the supervisor asked if he could come in for even two hours and he said no and hung up. They called his other job and found out he had worked there that day. He's getting a warning letter.

7. I always seem to end up with 10 facts that I have to do and I usually only have enough to say for 5 or 6. I'm just going to do a few random facts about me :-)

8. My shoes are size 9. I've been told that my feet are big because I'm only 5'4" (5'3" according to my lying doctor!).

9. I have a big burn on my left hand that I got when I was about three. I wanted to serve myself popcorn from the pot that my mom had made it in (because I figured it would be wamer and fresher than the stuff my mom had just put in a bowl). My mom had just gone in the other room- I pulled up a chair to the stove and got up on it..the chair wobbled and I must have had one hand on the stove and was grabbing the handle of the pot with the other- I pushed down on the handle when it wobbled and the bottom of the hot pot landed on top of my left hand. It's how I learned my left from my right...by looking at which hand the scar is on.

10. When we were kids we always got pinatas for our birthday parties. One time at my birthday my cousin was blindfolded and taking a swing and I was too close- she whapped me in the stomache with a big stick. Hard. She got yelled at, which wasn't really fair since what was I doing there and she was blindfolded! Like she meant to do it! No candy came pouring out of me- just a few tears.

1. Ack about the pinata Kaili! My youngest adopted bro is a pinata accident waiting to happen. One year he decided to climb up in the tree to raise and lower the pinata. He got so excited yanking on the rope that he let go of the branch he was in and fell out of the tree. The next year he decided to attach a longer rope to it and stand on the ground. He got a bit to close and one of the little ones took a swing and whapped him across the knees. We no longer allow him near pinatas.

1) spitfire, just look embarrassed, start crying, and say "i'm not pregnant. thanks for thinking i look like i am!"
2) i can't wait to go to work tomorrow. staying at home today i had to do laundry, vacuum, scrub toilets, grocery shop, bank, mop......and no pay!
3) son got his apartment, so that's one less thing to have to worry over. slim pickings for apartments in college towns, especially when the town's less than 10 minutes from the beach.
4) trying to stay well! just reading about all the things going around makes me want to gargle with listermint and start antiobiotic treatment :-)

1. We've had an unbelievable amount of rain overnight and today. Late this afternoon, the downtown area in my town was flooded with police closing down all streets leading into this area. The water was flowing in the streets up to the sidewalks. Everyone is commenting on how we've never seen this before. I just looked out the window and the water has seemed to drained off, thankfully.

2. All the schools shut down at 9:00 this morning due to the rain. They have already announced they'll be closed tomorrow.

3. My land phone is out. Just a little while ago, the phone rang. I picked it up and it was all static. I just tried again, it's dead.

4. My cell phone is acting weird too. I just called my mother to check on her and she said my brother's office and the hospital had water in it. She also had to put sandbags across her front door. The water was reaching her porch.

5. The rain has stopped for now, but there predicting more tonight. Sigh.

1. Today's weather is overcast and gloomy, a good reading day. :-)

2. I can no longer say I never win anything, because I won something!

3. It's something good.

4. I won the employee first prize drawing at work yesterday, in honor of Hospital Week.

5. It's a gift certificate for $342 to spend at the Bar Harbor Inn. Just look at the ocean views and choice of rooms! DH and I would never spend that much on a room. We can go any time at our convenience before the end of the year. We both love Bar Harbor!

6. Sometimes it pays to work, even though I'm just a fill-in, lol.

1. Tabby that would be funny to do but there is not mistaken that I am preggers. LOL!

2. MAK1 that is so great!!

3. I think tonight I will go home and vacuum and then mop floors.

4. My mom and sister cam over to help me last night. Mom pulled weeds and little sis bathed the dog.

5. DH's family is having a garage sale at our house this Saturday. We live in the country and our property works the best so I said go for it.

6. I am bummed that Survivor is finished tonight. Most people are so done with this season but for some reason I am really into it this time. I think that for once I liked who the final two ended up being which made me enjoy it more.

7. Hope everyone has a good night tonight. It's time to go home!!

1. I am feeling 100% better today than the other day.

2. Tuesday night I had to work in the little league snack bar for 6 hours. For the first two, it was just me and one other parent, plus one of the senior softball girls who couldn't go near the food. We worked our butts off! Finally we got some relief when the other parent showed up (she'd been working and we knew she'd be late) and another one of the softball players came in to help.

3. Between that and being totally worn down, I was exhausted by 10 that night. Left the park, ran through taco bell for dinner, then came home. I don't remember driving the last four blocks or so which scares me a bit since obviously I wasn't fit to drive. I ended up falling into bed about 11:30 and sleeping straight through to 7am. Best and most sleep I've had in longer than I can remember!

4. I woke up yesterday feeling mighty fine. Ran errands, did some house work, went to my sisters for bil's birthday dinner, and got to bed at a decent time. Not as much sleep and I was awake by 6am, but it was good.

5. Because, I woke up this morning feeling great! Life doesn't seem so bad. Kids usually go through a couple months every year seeming like they stay sick the whole time. Darren's back to working 12's, but it just means I need to do a little more around the house so that when he comes home, it's to rest, relax, and enjoy family time rather than worrying about taking care of house stuff.

6. Went over and talked to the neighbor about paying her oldest to mow the front yard and take care of the outside chores for a few weeks. He had done it a couple summers ago for us, but they wouldn't let him take money and I got to feeling too guity about it, so stopped asking him. This should be a big help to Darren since he won't have to worry about yard work on his only day off. And I taught myself how to use the water siphon thingie to clean out the turtle tank (only had one little mishap where I shot clean water all over the kitchen, lol) so thats another thing he won't have to do.

7. My sis has offered to take the kids next Saturday so that we can finish our date night that we stopped last week when Kota got sick. I'm not too worried about making it up to her since I'll be keeping her kids (plus my two nephews) most of the last week of May while they get the final touches done for the wedding.

8. Best of all, I have been very productive today! First thing this morning I tackled the driveway and porch. We'd had horrible winds all week and as usual I seemed to get all the neighbors crap. Then I cleaned the turtles tank, followed by the rest of the house. Only room I didn't get to today is the bathroom. Dusted, washed windows, mopped floors, vacuumed. Been a great day!

1. well, it is chilly again here, and raining. makes me sleepy.

2. tomorrow night is the american cancer society relay for life that i am participating in. it is thankfully not supposed to be raining then, but it supposed to get chilly...i'm talking in the 40's. i see windpants and a sweatshirt on over my relay t-shirt and thermal underneath it.

3. i like and get along with everyone on our team, and i think we will have a lot of fun. that is good since we will be spending 15 hours together. lol

4. i went to walmart tonight to get some stuff for the event. i bought a semi-reclining arm chair with a footrest, and a 12 pack of my diet soda that i love. we are having brats and other misc. foods.

5. i also bought the new gretchen wilson cd for just $9.72. got the redneck woman song on it that i love so much....."let me get a big hell yeah from the redneck girls like me.....hell yeah" lol. i LOVE IT!

6. can someone please tell me what a "land phone" is? i have heard ryan seacrest call them (i guess that's what he's talking about) "landline telephones" and i have seen it posted here (by ddr above) and in other threads. i guess it's the redneck woman in me not knowing what the heck it means. (just a regular phone?) thanks in advance to whoever clears that up for me.

7. i hope rupert wins the mill tonight. then there will be proof that nice guys can win. i love that guy, and i think he has a pretty good chance of winning.

8. last night during american idol, my alterego friend and i were having our usual cuss and discuss about the show. right after we hung up, a commercial came on, and my phone rang again. my assumption was that it was her again, and i answered by saying "what the hell? i knew someday that it would not be her when i answered the phone like that, and well, it happened last night. lol oops. it was our guy friend, kent, and he laughed and said "well what kind of way is that to answer the phone?' lolol. yeah, i was embarrassed. lol

9. i am glad tomorrow is friday! woo hoo! :-)

1. War, I'm glad your week has gotten better and the kiddies are better. I don't know how you do all you do, can you come to my house and get me organized please?

2. Jbean, I think a land line is a regular phone, not a cell phone. Unless, of course, I don't have any idea what I am talking about!

3. My sister is moving here to Portland to be with her boyfriend and I'm not really excited about it. At least they will be living on the other side of town.

4. She is leaving her son, who will be a senior in high school next year, to live with my mom and dad.

5. They have practically raised him anyway and are really pleased about the fact that my sister is leaving.

6. You would have to know my sister to "get" any of this, she has never had her priorities straight.

7. We are adopted.

8. My in-laws come back this weekend. They winter in Las Vegas and have been gone since January. It will be good to see them again.

9. I was sad Latoya got kicked off AI last night. She was my favorite.

10. My roses are all in bloom and are really pretty. I should take some pictures and post them.

1. I'll be watching Survivor in 1 hour and 40 minutes and I'll just BET that I'll be pleased too...

2. Mak, how cool that your dd is getting married on the beach in Cambria. I recall eating at the Driftwood Cafe in Cambria while on my very first roadtrip up the coast to San Francisco with my best friend from high school. We were 21 years old and I had just gotten a used convertible VW bug and was dying to take it on a roadtrip...fun memories!! And oh btw, congrats on winning the weekend for two in Bar Harbor!!

3. To this day, I still see my best friend from high school along with 4 other good friends from those fun days. I'm so happy they are still in my life....and when we get together, we giggle like little high school girls and have such a good time together!!

3a. jbeany, have fun with your Am. Cancer Society event and stay warm!!

3b. Jewels, you made me LOL when you wrote the fact that you and your sister were adopted...and I mean that in a good way...I love your sense of humor!

3c. Spit, I'm gonna miss Survivor too....sigh!

3d. War, gosh darn it!! You only live about an hour from me....so when are you gonna come down and clean my house....sheesh...some posters around this place....I'm tellin' ya!! LOL!!

3.1 Jbean, "land line" has long been cop talk meaning a regular hard-wired telephone. If you were on the radio and asked Dispatch to reach Unit 323 and ask him to reach you by land line, it meant have Harry call me on the phone. The reason cops did that was to have private conversations that did not go out over the airwaves. So, I suppose with today's wireless technology, where wireless communications could also be intercepted, using a land line could have somewhat the same meaning - calling on a hard wired regular phone so as to have some expectation of privacy.

1. My trip was great and fun!!

2. I had a big luxurious suite right across the hall from the "Thunder".

3. I didn't win any money. My Mom won $500 for herself, $100 for my nephew and $80 for my son. I should have let her gamble with my money.

4. What can I say about the show...men dancing, thongs, men dancing in thongs in the chair next to you. (We had VIP seating on the front row. I could have touched but didn't)

For any interested ladies here is a link to their website.

1. I really want to thank everyone here for being such the wonderful people that you are!

2. No matter how bad things are, you can always come here and feel better almost immediately.

3. I'm getting really excited for all of you who are going to be meeting up in real life/person soon, at the coming events.

4. I hope you all have a wonderful time, and share LOTS of details!

5. I just remembered I had a really good TVCH dream I wanted to share, but of course, it went POOF! Just like most all the other thought's in my head when I really want to get them out....lol.

1. My best friend since we were 11 is going to be having her first baby any day now. I talkedto her yesterday and she was telling me about some -4 to 0 to 4 scale where she'd at -1 (I think that has something to do with the baby dropping) and 3 cm.

2. I asked her to keep her legs crossed all weekend and no babies until Sunday night at the earliest.

3. I'm going camping all weekend, which is why I hope it can wait a few days before wanting out. I hope I hope because I want to get down there- her family and me are the onlt people she's allowng to see her at the hospital after it's born. And she's almost 2 hours away.

4. I'm COLD- How can weather go from 80 and muggy to 40s and rainy!? How is that right? Hmph! Shorts one day, sweater the next. Fine. And fine weather for camping! Rain. And clouds. Don't forget the clouds.

5. I had a TVCH dream last night too about meeting a couple of people and something about driving up to Bayfield to take the ferry-- whatever- all kinds of funny stuff was going on- I just don't remember who or what.

6. I have no idea what to wear today and I hate those days. I could spend 45 minutes standing in my closet trying things on- and the biggest waste of time is when I go through the trouble of ironing something then still change my mind. Can't I just go back to sleep for a few more minutes?
