1. Kaykay, do you have a Chipolte's in the area? I am going there for dinner tonight with ASL guy. They make super yummy burritoes. 2. Well, that tapped me out. Suddenly my mind went blank and I can't think of anything to say. 3. Oooh, second wind.... Summer is rapidly winding down for me. I am not as chagrined at going back to work as I thought I would be. It's always sad for summer vacations to end, but I love how it correlates with football season! I LOVE FOOTBALL! 4. My BiL, brother and I have done a football picks pool for 5 years in a row. This will be the 6th year. At the end of the season, the three of us have our own mini Super Bowl party where the losers treat the winner to a dinner of his/her choice. It's fun! 5. We all root for different teams. My BiL is a big Raiders fan, my brother likes the Steelers, and my team is the Redskins. One team we do have in common is the Atlanta Falcons. We all love to watch Michael Vick. Sure hope he stays healthy this year. 6. Yesterday at Kings Dominion, I left my keys in a bathroom. My keys have this little wallet thing on them that has my money, a credit card, and my driver's license in it. I realized what I had done 15 minutes later, but of course, by then, they were gone from the bathroom. So we made our way up to the Lost and Found at the front of the park. We had been told that if they were turned in, they probably wouldn't make their way up there for awhile, but we thought we would leave the cell phone number so we could be reached if the keys turned up. 7. Not only were my keys already at the Lost and Found, but everything was still inside my little wallet case, right down to the last penny! It really made me feel good to know there are still people left who are that honest. 8. Not one, but TWO people beat me to the punch. Wow, you guys are fast this morning! 9. Yada yada yada <I can't think of anything to say and I am just taking up space!> blah blah blah!

1. Housewarming will be when the boxes are all unpacked....that should be in, oh say, two YEARS! LOL. But stop on by for a visit anytime, just be prepared to step over and around lots of clutter! 2. Speaking of clutter....The garbage truck had to compress TWICE in front of my house after all the stuff that I threw out! LK is having a clutter-be-gone challenge in the Home and Garden thread....go on and join! 3. The trash can IS your best friend! It also doesn't hurt to have enough file drawers and bookcases! 4. I had a funny incident with the cat this morning. Read about it in the "CATS" thread! I certainly must look like a "room service" worker. 5. It FINALLY rained here...the first time since I moved here. I don't think it rained enough, though. I will probably have to water the gardens again. 6. I wish that I could post pictures of my new house, but I can't find the scanner. Go figure...something that I use all the time hasn't been unpacked. Can't find the photo printer either. I have a new inkjet printer that I brought home yesterday, but I don't have it set up yet. 7. I am going to find the pet/pool stores today, that is, unless I decide to stay home and design my courses. I was really productive yesterday and I'm on a roll today, too! 8. I have about 2/3s of my school office put together, and it didn't take that long. I will have 8 cabinets to sort through eventually, but that can wait. I could actually work in my office as it stands....it's kind of dumpy, but with curtains to cover the plaster falling off the walls and a throw on the really ugly chair, it will be ok. I taped a map of Illinois to the water damaged wall and that made a HUGE difference! 9. I would suggest broccoli/chicken salad for lunch: take one can of chicken and some little broccoli piece (I add cauliflower, too) slice a couple of pickles and onion OR cut some grapes in half--or soak some raisins in water (don't do both the grapes and the pickles/onion unless you want your taste buds to go berserk). Dressing is about a cup of mayo with some pickle juice and a package of Good Seasons Italian seasoning. You can add almond or walnuts if you want. Serve on a bed of dark leaf lettuce. YUM! 10. DANG...Hermi beat me to 10....SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Ginger!!!

1. Happy Birthday Ginger! I wish I had mentioned it in the update. I checked the birthday list and I could have sworn no one was listed for today. My synapses must have completely misfired because I just looked again this morning and there are 3 of you with birthdays today! 2. Happy birthday to Spitfire and LittleC also. My apologies to all three of you for leaving you out of the update! Hope you all have a great day! 3. Froggie, that's so funny.... I went to bed with a mild migraine last night and woke up with a headache! We are reversed! 4. It is cracking me up how many people are posting at the same time today. Kaykay got beat to 3 and then she got beat to 4! We should be on 6 now if Kaykay modifies her last post to add a 5. I better hurry up! 5. If my sister has a boy, my nephew wants him to be named Mario or Luigi! ROFL! Can you tell he likes Nintendo?? 6. I'm hungry.

(KayKay, you need to learn how to edit posts. Place your mouse over the first icon next to the time of your message. It'll say "Edit Post". Click onto it and you'll be taken back to your post and as you scroll down you'll see your original post - this is where you make your changes and then click "Save Message". There is a time frame in which you can edit your posts (10 minutes I think). The reason I came back to edit my post is a great example. In my original post I called Ginger "poop" instead of "pooh". LOL!! sorry Ginger...hee-hee! So see KayKay, it's a good thing to learn how to edit...LOL!!) 1. Hi Factoids! Happy Birthday Gingerpooh, Littlec and Spitfire! 2. I'm at work at the moment but not much work is getting done. 3. Our office is in Stage 1 of moving into our new office building. 4. Stage 1 consists of IS moving our computers over and us packing up our office stuff for the movers. 5. I'm wearing playclothes today because of the packing/moving situation. 6. Oh! I almost forgot to mention this fact about my computer. My computer is being reassigned to another staff member and I'm getting a brand new system with a flatscreen. Yay! <Eggie does the Happy Dance!!> 7. I'm thinking that the rest of this week will be unproductive as far as my work goes. Today they move my computer (my third arm!) and yet my phone isn't being moved over to the new office until tomorrow. Go figure... 8. I miss being able to post here during the day and this has been fun. I'll catch everyone again soon. Take care Factoids! You guys are my favs here and I love this thread!!

1. I'm a single mother of a school aged son who is the best man in my life! 2. My co-worker and Big Brother supporter wants me to write that I'm a great co-worker. I like working with her also. 3. My favorite author is Anne Rice. 4. My favorite sport is Tennis. 5. I happily follow the TVCH posts daily and report them to my co-worker, whether she's interested or not.

1. Everyone is posting such happy thoughts today, but I don't feel like I have happy facts. 2. My daughter took a head dive off of our dining room table today. It really scared me. All I heard was a huge boom and then screaming. She seems okay, but has a huge knot and scrape on her head. Doesn't help that we have wood floors. 3. My dog, Jane, goes in to have her tumor removed next Tuesday. Hopefully they won't find cancer. 4. My sister needs mental help and I don't know what to do to help her. She had a breakdown last weekend and because she just moved up here she doesn't know anyone but me so I have to help her. 5. Her boyfriend left her because he couldn't deal with her anymore. She has had these problems for years and won't get help. 6. I am so tired and stressed out. I don't have the energy for this. 7. How do you help someone who has a hard time admitting they need help? 8. Happy Birthday to the Birthday Girls!!

1. Welcome to the facts thread Ladylove. 2. Late on this, but BR, I'm glad to hear Ms. Sweetpea is ok. While I understand she'd rather not have a dent in the car this soon, I'd much rather it be the car than her! 3. I'd love to come visit ya'll and Marm, and anyone else while the kids are in school, but I'm just not so sure I can make it there and back, plus clean in just six hours. 4. I had no cleaning to do today after the cleaning spree yesterday other than making up beds and washing a couple of breakfast bowls. 5. On the other hand I did have a few things to get caught up on around here like Saturdays BB show summary and a few live feed highlights so that kept me busy. 6. I see so many parents this week talking about sending their kids off to school and being bored and lonely I'm wondering if we should start a support group! We can come up with ways to keep each other entertained, lol. 7. We are still fighting the bus issue. The school board is reviewing the new policy because they have parents complaining left and right. From our school alone, 117 kids lost their bus, 35 of which are from our neighborhood! We're all hoping that the letters, phone calls, and visits are going to make a difference. 8. The good news with that situation is the 12 junior high kids in our neighborhood who lost the bus also, now have it back. The school board looked at their policy regarding them and realized that having 11-13 year olds walking around 2 miles to school at 6 am wasn't such a great idea.
