1. i can't figure out how to attach my sleeping bag to my backpack. there is NO WAY it will fit inside. i tried. it is a big ass backpack, but a bigger ass sleeping bag. mrs. bat said it probably attaches to the bottom. the hike leader emailed me several times today. i have a feeling he will be more than happy to help me figure it out. i'll just be sure to get there early.

2. i am so excited!

3. i am wide awake when i should be asleep!

4. but that is okay because i am so excited!

1. i am lol at the guy "munching on sterling silver" lolol. can't you just see someone eating rings. lol. funny visual!

2. hermie, hope you have a fabulous time on your camping trip. and i hope you don't freeze your ass off.

3. after watching top model again tonight, and watching the "brownie incident" again. it made me crave brownies, so i went and bought a mix. i love brownies! (but i love watching catty girls get into fights over them even more!)

4. my sister called me tonight wanting costume ideas for a halloween party TOMORROW NIGHT. unbelievable. this is a pretty usual type of deal for her, though.

5. the cat has been particularly poorly behaved today. earlier she was up on the kitchen counter () just looking into the sink like there was going to be something exciting going on in there. what the heck!?

1. Hermi, you're probably gone on your backpack trip but little bungie cords work great at mounting your sleeping bag to your backpack. Or lightweight belt type cords.

2. I hope Hermi has a wonderful experience on her backpack trip....and I hope she stays warm too.

3. I'm thinking that I'd like to try one last backpack trip before I get too old and weary. There is absolutely nothing like being in the backcounty with the beauty of nature surrounding you.

4. Tomorrow night is our annual pumpkin carving party with our good friends. I bought a couple of pumpkins but I don't know if Egbob is available to go with me. I'll take pictures and post them here....or there...LOL!

5. I'm listening to a Ray Charles CD right now and he is enchanting to listen too...

6. I'm so glad Friday is over....it 'twas a long day for me...again. I'm pooped.

1. Good morning /early afternoon fellow factoids! Hope everyone is doing well.

2. I work later on today...yuck! It's crappy out too, which isn't much of a motivator.

3. I'm off tomorrow though, so it's something to look forward too.

4. Tomorrow night is also Trick-or-Treat night here in my tiny town. I hope I bought enough candy.

5. My sister is bringing my nephew over so I can see him in his FROG costume! I'm sure he'll be adorable!!!

6. Steve is going to be hanging the border in our office today, with the help and experience of his older sister. They tend to annoy the crap outta each other, so I'm kind of glad that I won't be here, lol!

7. My kitty Max is getting "fixed" next Wednesday. I have to drop him off Tuesday night and can't pick him up until Thursday afternoon. I'm going to miss him!!!

1. I booked a hotel in Indy online.

2. I called the hotel and they said they were full (before I went online that is) should I be concerned?

3. I called sil who is getting married next Saturday, and she is thrilled we are coming.

4. EVERYONE else is coming Friday and staying with youngest sil... "so you should book a hotel"

5. DH was upset about that. I'm like I cant wait to go and get abused, and talked about behind my back in front of my kids.... oh boy!

6. Sil was apologizing for not having food and liquor. I'm like ummm not that you know me.... and as the conversation progressed I mentioned my online friends, going to mystic, and Spygirl's wedding... which is just the same (sorta, I feel welcomed at Spy's... ok I did not SAY that I thought it tho!!) She mentioned my wedding and all the kids, and I mentioned we were offered a bribe not to have a reception, I wanted to be with my relatives, so I opted for a very cheap food buffet, I felt I needed to feed my grandma and great aunts coming in from Texas, but everyone gets to decide, no right or wrong... just your day, your way! (imho of course!)

7. I wonder if I should try and book a room for Friday. She did say her df would have some food at his place, and they'd love for us to come. (sil has not seen my kids in years!)

8. I only dozed on and off, maybe 3 hours last night. I feel rung out.

Reader you're coming to Indy? We have to get together!!!!! When and where? You can PM me if you'd like.

Edited to add: Oh, wait - it looks like you're going to be really really busy (I know how that wedding out-of-town thing is), and I THINK Colossus and I are supposed to be in Mississippi next weekend.

I guess I deserve 9 facts, it's been so long:

1) To Vee: I apologize for not reading my folder and thank you much for checking in on me!

2) My new job is keeping me very busy! But if one more person says "You look tired", I swear I'll go nuts on them!

3) Anal Retentive husband entered our dog in this years costume contest at our local pet store. Check it out in Hairball Haven.....she's a cutie!

4) We won't find out if she won until Monday morning, last year people got pissed cause she won, so they decided this year they would wait. I understand, pet owners love their pets!

5) DH and I had a couples massage today! Ahhhh, my lower back and his neck!

6) I have a bad habit of sitting on my foot at work, and driving so much has really screwed up my lower back!

7) I am enjoying catching up on the clubhouse, it's been too long!

8) Maybe with that extra hour sleep people will stop picking on me!

9) But I have to stay up for the news. Shannon and her costume will be on it! Oh well!

9.1) Happy Halloween all!

3. My sister is making a shrimp dip as I type this.

4. It's not for us, it's for a meeting on Monday. Rats! I love that stuff!

5. I just finished my third bottle of water for the day.

6. Sometimes I feel like a thread killer.

7. Missed seeing Autumn here today.

8. Herckie is one of my favorite people.

9. Love playing "This or That" with Mamie, etc., Inc.

1. We spent the day doing Halloween stuff. I figured both kids, but Caleb especially just needed a fun weekend. We did a bit of decorating, worked on their costumes, carved pumpkins, and watched a couple Scooby cartoons.

2. Tomorrow we'll get dressed up (ok, they will, lol) and we'll take them to visit my aunt and then we'll meet up with my sis and extended family and head on over to a friends house for a party. After dinner, we have plans to take all the kids trick or treating.

2.5 Monday is our anniversary, 8 years! We plan to celebrate later this month when Darren's on vacation.

1. We started off the day early, returning defective ceiling fan blades to Lowes, picking out tuxes, and finally settling on invitations.

2. After that, I came home and spent the afternoon making the type-setting decisions and quantity. For some reason, ordering those created a lot of anxiety for me.

3. Until I have them in-hand, I am going to worry about names being spelled wrong...or having the wrong date...or some other thing that would ruin the batch of 300.

1. Today I was on the go and I happened to drag my digital camera around with me! Here's a pic of Charlie who participates in our Pet Therapy program at the hospital:

Doggie Pic



2. After work, I put on my playclothes and went to join Egbob's siblings at MIL's house. We did handywork around her house. That's what she wanted for her 80th birthday present from all of us.




3. Tonight, Egbob and I went to our friends' annual Pumpkin Carving Party!! Here's a group shot of our pumpkins!

Pumpkins




4. I'll post some more pictures in my folder for those who are interested. And SpyBaby, it's going to be perfect!! Perfect I tell ya!!

1. OMG Eggie- I love dogs in costumes! Too cute!!!

2. Tim and I did Asian Eating Day yesterday I guess- we went to a Mongolian BBQ place for lunch, then for Korean for dinner. Boy was it all good too!

3. We went and saw The Bourne Supremacy at the budget theater- I thought the first one was about 100 times better.

4. After my big remider the other day in here, guess who forgot Daylight Savings? Yep, me. When I saw my computer colck I realized it was way earlier than I meant to get up at. now I just have to do all zillion clocks I have and make sure the VCR reset itself to tape my shows at the right times.

5. Gotta go to the babin today and close it up for the winter. I've never done it before, but I have a list. Usually my mom comes down at some point in the fall to do it but she's been all over lately and they're laeving to go to New Zealand for a month in a couple weeks so they're busy getting ready for that. Wish I was going there instead of the cabin....:-)

1. Good morning factoids! Daylight savings has me all messed up and I'm up waaaaay too early.

2. I'm getting a jump on my Sunday chores...one load of laundry is almost done, I've vacuumed the living room, and even fed the cat, lol.

3. Whenever Steve decides to drag his butt out of bed we're going to make bacon & eggs and then relax on the couch with two movies: The Day After Tomorrow (his pick) and A Cinderella Story (my pick).

4. I'm jealous of Spy and her wedding, lol. I want it to be my turn! I still have a ton of planning to do, but I am moving forward very slowly. I plan on meeting with a florist or two by the end of next month to get estimates on what all the flowers I want are going to cost me! I want all roses, no filler. I'm picturing a pretty hefty bill!

5. A friend of ours invited us to the beach for a weekend during late fall/early winter. His boss owns a house right on the beach and told him anytime he wants to go to let him know. I've never been to the beach in the fall or winter, but I'm sure it's still beautiful no matter what time of year. I just want a weekend away!

6. I hear Steve moving around upstairs...he must finally be awake! Good. I'm starving. Have a good Sunday everyone!

1. halloween celebrations were so fun last night!

2. my best friend from high school was also in town (lives in olathe) so i went to her mom and dad's house for their party for a bit before going out with alterego. there was a pumpkin carving contest at the party, and our team's pumpkin had an empty bottle of smirnoff ice black label hanging out of it's mouth. lol.

3. i got some pictures, but you all will have to wait til i get them developed to see them. i have several more on the roll to take, but since my niece and their puppy will be trick or treating tonight, i will be using them all.

4. i LOVE this part of daylight savings time - falling back. so tomorrow it will be like getting up at 7 am actually, instead of 6. woo hoo!

5. i had a late night last night. we were out until after 12:30 (before the time change), that's pretty late for us.

6. my friend had to get up and be at church by 7:30 this morning. i don't envy her!

7. i am proud to report that the black mousse temporary haircolor that i put in my hair washed out 100%. yay! i was a tad bit worried about that. the stuff was nasty and made my hair stiff and straw-like!

1. I used to love Halloween.

2. My sister and I are both single mom's of boys. So my father would take both boys out trick-or-treating. They always had a good time.

3. My sister hasn't been a part of our family for many years, her choice. But we're, my father and I, very involved with her son.

4. My mom was disabled for many years and was unable to get up and down to answer the door. So my mom and I would sit together, then when the children came I would give out the candy.

5. Me and my mom would sit in the front room so she could still see the children even if she couldn't go to the door. And in between the children coming to the door, my mom and I would sit and chat.

6. I had a really good relationship with my mom and loved spending time with her. When I think of Halloween I think of her.

7. My mom passed away February last year. So this is my second year giving out candy without her. My dad is still going to take out the boys but it's not going to be the same.

8. I miss my mom.

1. Vacanick, I hear your pain and I related as well. I'm sorry you lost your mom and you definitely show your love and adoration for her! Compound that with your sister issue and I'm sure this is a rough time for you.((((Vacanick))))

2. Halloween through Thanksgiving is getting better for me. I lost my cousin during this time, 3 years ago. It has gotten better with each passing year. She was like a sister to me and we were the same age...she never got to turn 50 years old with me.....sighhhh.....

3. On a happier note....I'm sitting here in my PJ's and I'm loving it!! What a glorious feeling of freedom!! Yay for me!!

4. I've been emailing family and friends and sending them some of my pumpkin pictures from last night.

5. I'm not sure why, but this day feels like a new beginning for me! I can't explain it. I only know that I look forward to tomorrow....well, cause...I'm still in my PJ's today...LOL!!

6. I might shower, dress and go over to my sister house before it gets dark. She and her dh always do fun stuff to pass candy out to the kids in their neighborhood and I might like to go take some pictures!!

7. I am doing laundry now....just so you know that I am a multi-tasking type of person. I also wiped down the kitchen counters and floors...and the ever present bathroom as well. All in my PJ's!!

8. Yikes! I've just realized that I don't have candy to pass out to the kids in our neighborhood....where's Egbob??

9. Happy Halloween Factoids!!

1. I loved the doggie in the cowboy outfit, Eggie. That is so neat that your hospital does that!

2. Vee, Sweetheart, you have to know you are one of my favorite people, too!

3. I have been cleaning slowly all day (just like yesterday). Just takes me longer because of my back. I am actually vacuuming, but have to sit and rest after each area.

4. In our apt complex, we have a huge party area and every year they have pizza for the moms and dads and kids and a party for them, too.

5. The management also is very thoughtful. They send around a pumpkin flyer to place on your door only if you want trick-or-treaters to knock. Otherwise, the kids skip you.

6. I LOVE Halloween and seeing the kids in costume, so last year and this year, yes, I am posting the flyer on my door.

7. Ed ran out and got us Arby's roast beef sandwiches (and a small salad for me/ french fries for him). Sigh. But the salad was yummy!

8. Ed is watching the Eagles vs Ravens. We are Eagles fans! (Wonder if Legal's gonna get me!)

9. Vacanick, you are just the sweetest, gentlest person. I loved reading your facts.

10. Luv, a couples massage after all that hard work! Yay for you. Now you both will look relaxed and lovely beside Shannon tomorrow when she rakes in that prize!

1. I lived in Olathe from 8/86 - 10/98. I loved my job and thought I'd be there until I retired, but my mom was dying. They sent her home 11/98 to die.

2. 5 months ago to the minute my brother took a picture that later means the world to our family. 2 hours after that I called the hospice nurse, and when she walked in and saw my mom she just set her stuff down. She told me later that when she walked in she gave my mom less than 10 minutes. She left 4 hours later, saying 12 - 24 hours, possibly 48. My mom lived 49 hours longer, proving them wrong again.

3. My brother was trying to take a picture of the rainbow, just hours before my mom had her spell. He showed my mom the picture the next day, and she loved it. Days after her death we noticed an angel in the picture. It was if the angel was there to get her, but sat back and waited because Mom said it wasn't time.

3.1 I'm sorry you lost your mom Vacanick. I miss mine too.

3.2 Serate, my heart goes out to you. What a moving story. I can tell how dear your mom was to you, hon.
