1. I don't think everyone is against you.

2. I only said that so I could disagree with you--since that seems to be the trend.

3. I only did this to make you laugh, so I hope you did.

1. I've had 2 people recently tell me I looked like Nicole Kidman... I mean that is like an ultimate compliment, but I just seriously don't see it at all.

2. I'm feeling down today, had some anxiety today and yesterday too. Not sure if I can pinpoint the exact reason for it.

3. I'm afraid for my future.

4. I hate to think about it, and usually don't, so that keeps me from being scared.

5. I keep thinking about my life this time a year ago. I was engaged, and very happy. Now I'm alone and scared.

Sage, I do see the resemblance! That alone should make you feel better! I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling down. Hope you feel better soon!

1. My facial appointment is set up for next Friday. I can't wait.

2. My stepfather has shingles.

3. My mother is freaked out over the whole concept of shingles and how he got it.

4. I told my mother that he got shingles from having Chicken Pox as a kid. That the disease lies dormant in your system for years and years and then triggers but that it isn't contagious.

5. Stepfather's shingles has effected his left eye and upper part of his left side of face (forehead and around his eye). Involvement of the eye means he has to see not only the doctor but an eye doctor as well.

6. I'm grumpy today. I was grumpy yesterday. I am pmsing. I hate pmsing.

7. In 1974 I was 10 years old. That was the year my parent's divorced. We moved. Lousy year 1974.

1. I survived yesterday

2. It wasnt pretty, more fallout today. I hate fallout.

3. My bottom is so sore - and today is the school's come in and deposit your school supply day at 1:30. No car,I have to get back on the bike.

4. DS wants his hair cut, but he doesnt want it shorter, or thinner. Translation please? anyone

5. I feel helpless and hopeless.

6. Last night DS #2 meeting ended an hour early, since neither of us had dinner, I took just us two too Panera. Its nice to get your siblings away from each other. I think DS felt it was just weird (he's 16, everything is weird!!)

7. DS #2 didnt get called back to the play he tried out for.

8. DS#1 is taking a car and visiting his gf at UofI. I'm more concerned that the car will survive than ds!!

I really dont think I had 8 facts, I was stretching!!)

1. I'm thinking about writing a boot about all the little crappy things that have happened to me in the last 20 years.

2. It would have to be fiction because no one would actually believe that it was true.

3. Took dd's sumons to the insurance companys lawyer. I'll wait and tell her about it after the hurricane and after our weekend.

4. dd # 2 called and she got her money back for the printer she bought at Target which had a totally different printer in the box.

5. She's making her first solo trip home from school and she got a later start than I would have liked but she's left at 11 so hopefully she'll be here by 4 at the latest.

6. The windows are boarded up so it's kinda dark in the house.

7. DH has the ribs on the grill already since he has to work tonight.

8. I gotta get busy with the fried rice soon but I'm too stressed. Just wanna sit here in the dark for a while longer.

9. I'm wondering if I should even bother trying to work today. Couldn't sleep last night and could really use a nap right now.

1. Dh is doing very well transitioning back to work. He has been putting in half days so far.

2. My dd flew to Orlando yesterday (against our advice) using a ticket she had bought from Jet Blue weeks ago--to stay with a friend who has a house in Tallahassee. (Jet Blue evidently doesn't fly in closer.)

3. She then took a very, very long double-decker train (!) ride to her friend's house near Tallahassee. She said that the train was held up in Orlando, waiting for busloads of people to arrive--people who were evacuating.

4. My son is in FL--in Pensacola. I think that places them about an hour apart. My dd and he are going to try to get together while she is there.

5. That cortisone shot in my back resulted in 2 days of more intense pain starting the morning after the procedure. They did tell me the pain meds from the procedure would wear off--but didn't mention the pain would become worse, to the point of being unbearable. It did. Couldn't walk 3 steps! Hurt to even stand up.

6. Then, as promised, on the 3rd day--that was yesterday--things improved. I was able to walk Herc for 15 minutes without pain. Back felt tired in that area, though. (Got the shot just above my butt, near the center bottom of the spine.)

7. Today, I was able to walk Herc for a good 25 minutes without pain! So things are progressing. Yeah!

8. I am looking forward to Tuesday-Friday, when I should notice the max relief.

9. Two days ago, I got a call from a long-lost headhunter, asking if I was still looking for a job! We had a great catch-up conversation--and she said since I was still looking, she'd be forwarding my resume to the client. Haven't heard anything since.

10. I have started back on my LA Weightloss diet--on my own. I know what to do. I just need to follow through.

1. My brother's wife had a nervous breakdown earlier this week. I didn't know whether I wanted to share it or not. It hits a little too close to home for me. Anyway, she has Multiple Sclerosis and her symptoms have been bad lately, and she is under a lot of stress at work. She apparently had a panic attack brought on by everything. My brother said her panic attack was so bad that they had to call an ambulance. My heart is hurting for them and I feel very sad. She has always held herself together and to hear that she fell apart like this makes me ache for her because I know how she is feeling.

2. I feel guilty, too.. Not sure what that is about. Well, this is a bummer. I always post and immediately afterwards feel like I shared too much. I guess I just wanted to have some people send her some positive thoughts. I'm very muddled right now. My thoughts are chasing each other all over the place. I think I need to shut up now.

2.11 I love my family so much. I would take on all of their pain if I could and let them have untroubled lives. It bothers me to see good people hurting so much.

1. We just finished the third week of school for the kids, and things are going pretty well so far.

2. Dakota seems to be learning in leaps and bounds. I find the younger grades fascinating because they learn so much in such a short time, it's just amazing to me.

3. All the third graders were tested in reading, comprehension, and grammer last week. Caleb did well enough they put him in the highest reading group.

4. He came home the other day and told us part of his reading homework was to read out loud everyday for a few minutes. He'd just started reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and while he has read the other books and done well with this one as far as reading to himself and knowing what was going on, his reading out loud of it was agonizing. Too many words that are hard to pronounce.

5. So we changed things up a little. He now reads H.P. quietly and shares in the read to Dakota duties that Darren and I have been taking turns with.

6. This has turned into something both of them enjoy. Dakota has recently gotten into chapter books (up until now she's liked the short little books that had very little real plot or storyline to them.)

7. It was so great tonight to walk into the den and see both of them sitting in a chair together as she listened quietly to him reading to her. The kids usually get along good and play together good, but that did my heart good to see them both enjoying a book together!

1. Hermi, I'm so glad you felt comfortable enough to share your feelings about your family. I'll certainly keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

2. Hey Froggiegirl, this is MY favorite thread too!

3. Tonight Egbob, me, ds#2 and his friend went to Island's for dinner. Our server was a former student of Egbob's and well....let's just say the service was most excellent!

4. After dinner, we all went and played a round of miniature golf.

5. It was Team Eggie & Egbob vs Team ds#2 & friend.

6. It was a very close outcome, however Team ds#2 & friend won.

7. Egbob and I let them win by not getting our usual holes-in-one.

8. Tomorrow we're going to Knotts Berry Farm with ds#2 and EgBIL, EgNiece and EgNephew.

1. this is my favorite thread, too froggie and eggie!

2. i just got back a little while ago from a place called "Deepwater". i went with alterego to see her dad play with this band he's in.

3. altergo is quite the singer herself, and got pulled up onstage to sing (much to her dismay). she sang "crazy". she did a great job!

4. i went to happy hour last night for a couple of hours with some coworkers. i have stayed true to my 3 drink (AKA: the no hangover plan) rule and it has served me well.

5. i fell asleep watching tv in bed last night around 9 pm, and actually got up at 7:30 this morning (that's early for me on the weekend)

6. then i went to the fitness center and sat in the sauna for 45 minutes and read my new magazine.

7. i colored my hair a darker shade of blonde today. it is getting to be too much of a hassle tryng to keep the roots of my highlighted blonde streaks up. my hair is growing fast for the first time in my life. like an inch every month it seems like.

8. so for now i am sticking with one color for awhile. it will take a few months i'm sure to get it all one color due to the high contrast of the colors it was.

9. i hope all my factoid friends have a great (and SAFE) holiday weekend!

1. I had fun at Knotts Berry Farm with my family today!

2. I rode the most horrific rollercoaster in my life!!

3. It was called Ghostrider and my body is going to take a few days to recover from this ride.

4. We then came home and invited friends and family over for some pizza and boysenberry pie with vanilla ice cream.

5. Luckily my sil mentioned that Big Brother was on at 9pm otherwise I would have missed it!

6. So some of us watched Big Brother while others went into the kitchen to play a board game.

7. Everyone left about an hour ago and I just got through washing out the dishes.

8. It's so nice to see jbeany posting in purple once again. I think purple looks good on you!

9. Tomorrow Egbob and I will be helping ds#2 move into his dorm.

10. I'm hoping we'll be able to hook up with dd while we're out that way and then maybe we can all have dinner together at Applebee's...yay!

1. Woo hoo Eggie! We talked about going to Magic Mountain but feel there are more rides at Knotts that Kota is tall enough for. She discovered the joys of roller coasters at Disneyland a couple years ago when she went on Space Mountain and there's no way I can take her somewhere she wouldn't be able to ride most of them, lol.

1.5 We did gently explain to both of them today that she would not be having a party for her birthday. She rather sadly asked why. Darren explained that we had decided to take them somewhere special instead, somewhere they've never been before. Hehe, she started jumping up and down and said, "Good, I was getting bored with birthday parties anyways!"
