1. I wish that Wargod and other "Southern Californians" would check their calendars and the "Marm in Long Beach" travel thread, and see if we can meet on the 12th of November! 2. It is going to rain today. We need the rain. I don't think it has rained in a whole month. Better today than tomorrow.... 3. We have many marching bands coming in tomorrow for a "Music in Motion" competition/festival. I will be manning the School of Music recruiting/info booth. 4. I only had 6 out of my 18 students show up for class. SHEESH, I hate getting dressed in the morning, too. What do they think it is, Friday? 5. Oh, yeah, it is Friday! (THANK GOD!) I am dreadfully behind in my work, and will need to get caught up this weekend. 6. I also need to close the pool, and if it doesn't rain, I think that it will be warm enough to actually get in and vacuum the mound of leaves from the bottom. 7. <Marm makes note to self: next year close pool BEFORE leaves fall from trees> 8. About killed the fish yesterday. I went out during a commercial of Survivor to feed them and realized that the food went "chunk....crinkle....ping" and that there was only about 3 inches of water in the pond.....I quick got a flashlight and the hose and readjusted the filter hose so that the water went back into the pond instead of watering the garden! YIKES! 9. I am very tired, but really enjoyed Survivor and The Apprentice last night. I am also watching Trading Spouses and Lost. That sure helps get over the void from TAR being over. Happy TGIF, everyone!

1. I got to sleep in this morning and it felt delicious!! 2. I'm now on the computer, here at the board with my huge cup of coffee. I liken the board to reading the morning paper...LOL! 3. As I'm here, I'm also in an IM conversation with my old boss who now lives in Rochester NY and she's telling me all about the brand new home they just moved into!! It all sounds so exciting and I'm happy for her. 4. I've really got to get over to Curves this morning before I head into work...not sure it's going to happen though. So it looks like I'll have to put in an exercise DVD instead... 5. LOL, I just IM'd my friend and told her that she needs to mark her calendar for May 2006...because if ds#1 does graduate from Cornell, then Egbob and I will drive to Rochester to visit her...LOL! 6. Okay, my friend had to leave our IM discussion for an eye appointment so now I can refocus on finishing up these 10 facts and hope that another Factoider hasn't already beat me to the punch...yikes! 7. Curves is not going to happen this morning...so after I finish here, its exercise by DVD in front of the TV....Oscar will get a workout show from me...LOL!! 8. I'm still trying to finish Part 2 of my Mystic Report and with each passing day, I know I'm going to leave out some parts because I will go into the mode of just wanting to get it finished and posted. 9. Hermi!! I love how you are going to assign seats and end up with HMT!! You go girl!! 10. Did I tell you guys that I won $53.50 on the quarter slots while in Mystic!! I did!! It was great and Lobstah was there to see it happen! And all I had put in was a $20 bill. In fact, I was down to my last few quarters and I think I told Lobstah, "well here goes my twenty" and then I hit three symbols in a row and the wheels started spinning and the bell started ringing and I think we both said "oh my gawd!!"...so I immediately tell Lobstah that I'm going to cash out and she grabs a coin bucket for me and I press the cash out button waiting for all those quarters to drop. Hee-hee...out come this piece of paper...like an ATM....LOL!! Too funny!! Have a great Friday FACTOIDERS...on to exercising!!

1. Ohio, one day you'll have to plan for uhm, er...days like this, so enjoy it now! 2. Neighbor was off work today so he took the kids to school again. Second time this week, and Darren's picked them up twice this week, if they don't stop, I may get spoiled, LOL. It's been kind of nice having them help though!

1. Hi everyone! 2. I just realized how small this area I live in is...LOL 3. One of the teachers at the district I just started subbing in this year helped teach one of my grad classes at the university a few years ago. 4. Then today I bumped into the liason officer at the school....who happens to be the husband of my cousin's friend. I haven't seen him in over a year so that was kind of fun. 5. My mom and aunt are coming down this weekend and we're all going to have a slumber party at my cousin's house. Fun. 6. Tomorrow I'm going to a hockey game in Green Bay with a few people- never have been to one up there. Not a big team or anything- just the Green Bay Gamblers. Ooooooh. But it's dollar night! 7. I guess that pretty much covers my coming weekend and I haven't done a lot this week except: shop for new work clothes because my old ones are getting worn and some I just don't like anymore (I spent a half hour in my closet changing clothes before going in to school yesterday morning even though I'd picked out and ironed an outfit the night before), subbed two days, worked at UPS 5 days, and went to the library twice.

1. i got an email from a high school classmate today through classmates.com. i don't really know how to, or if i should respond to it. 2. it is from a girl that i was friends with briefly in HS, but she has very low self-esteem and anytime if i was ever not in a talkative mood, or didn't want to do stuff it was always "are you mad at me?", "do you not like me anymore?", and it got to the point where i just couldn't take it anymore. those kind of relationships, to me, are too mentally draining. 3. strangely enough, i did see her, and even sat at the same table as her and her husband (along with another group of friends that i have known, mostly since kindergarten), and i didn't really have much of any conversations with this girl. she is more or less a stranger to me now. 4. so this email says your basic stuff, like how are you?, and what she was up to, and then, at the end it says "i also was wondering if at the reunion, i did or said something wrong to you or kandi, because no one has called me." honestly, i don't even think i got her phone number, as she is like i said, more or less a stranger to me now. 5. i am flabergasted by that email, and don't know if i should even resopnd? i don't really have any desire to pursue a friendship with her. it is sad that 10+ years later, things still seem the same for her. only now she has a husband, 3 (adorable) daughters, and is also in school. i'm single, and otherwise unattached, and my life is busy as hell! 6. in fact, all the girls at the table that i have know forever (lol), i don't even really talk to them, hardly ever. i did see the girl, kandi, that she mentioned in the email at the fair at the jo dee messina concert back in august. 7. sorry i unloaded all that here, but i am really floored by that whole deal. 8. kaili, your hockey game and dollar night, sound like a blast. wish i were there, too! happy friday, factoids!

1. Jbean, I got an email from someone I went to high school with through Classmates too. 2. She and I weren't particularly close in school. 3. She didn't have a lot of problems but we had really nothing in common. 4. She finally stopped emailing me after I didn't write back more than once. 5. My situation is a little different from yours. 6. You don't have to email her back. 7. I can imagine why you are so surprised. 8. If she is still worrying about you not really talking to her, she's stuck back in high school. 9. Some people never leave it behind.

1. I talk to one person I went to high school with. we are still best friends. 2. I disconnected from many of my high school friends because we moved just before my senior year. 3. moving from a big school to a tiny school just before your senior year STINKS. 4. I went to the Billy Graham Crusade in Kansas City tonight. 5. Rode on a free bus - yay no fighting traffic to/from Arrowhead. 6. Charlie Daniels and his band performed some gospel songs - including a rousing rendition of "I'll Fly Away." 7. Mercy Me, a contemporary Christian band, also performed - I love them to begin with. They are great live. 8. I've been home less than half an hour. naturally I am now wide awake. 9. My cat loves when I have insomnia - he thinks it means extended cuddle time. 10. One of my neighors has a loud stereo - it is midnight here. what the heck is with the stereo?

1. I wish I could sleep in on the weekends but I seem to always watch up just like work hours. 2. I got up at 5 am, cuddled on the couch with my puppy and watched Animal Planet. I think I'll take a nap later.

1. I was able to sleep in this morning and I still feel tired and not feeling well either. 2. I've been feeling yukie for 4 days now, off and on, and my appetite just isn't there lately. And it's not a virus or a cold....I can tell the difference. Let's just say my red flags have been raised as of today....sighhhh.... 3. Well I'm off to the mall. I've got to pick up a wedding gift for my niece's wedding next weekend and I'll also be on a spy mission for Juju...muahahahahahaha!!!

1. I didn't sleep well last night either. 2. My lower back is killing me for some reason and I don't remember what I did. 3. My dh has been grumbling all night saying he didn't feel good. 4. He just came back from Orchard Supply with a beautiful potted plant to apologize to me for grumbling.

1. I ate WAY too much at lunch today. 2. I feel like a stuffed turkey. 3. Debating on if I should take DD to the mall to buy a her a new backpack. 4. Maybe walking around the mall will make me feel better. 5. Everyone tells me that the "newlywed" feeling will go away soon. I don't want it to end!!

1. Saturday is my day to get caught up on my chores. Sunday is my day of rest. 2. I've done quite a bit but right now I'm procrastinating. 3. I've been watching Tom & Jerry cartoons with my son and puppy. 4. I am making chicken & dumplings in the crockpot. My son & nephew love my chicken & dumplings and it's so easy to make. 5. I still have to mow the lawn and clean off the front porch. Where's a good man when you need him? 6. I think I'll take a nap and think about what I need to do later! Hope everyone is having a great day!

1. i'm sorry there are several factoids that aren't feeling well. hope you are all feeling better soon. 2. i slept in today! til almost 9 am! this is the latest i have slept in probably 2 months, and it felt darn good! 3. i went to the mall today, and bought a purse at jcpenney that i have wanted the last 2 times i have been there, but resisted. today, there was only 1 left! how was i gonna pass that up? woo hoo! i needed it, though, i can't remember the last time i bought a purse. it has a place for my cell phone, and that is one of the most important things. i can't ever find that darn thing in my purse and miss calls because of it! 4. then i saw at bath and body works they were having a "buy 4 for $10" sale. again, how was i to pass that up? so i bought 4 different scents of moisturizing antibacterial handsoap: country apple, sweet pea, warm vanilla sugar, and moonlight path. all in all, not a bad deal! 5. i rented and watched the movie "saved". i liked it a lot, very touching and thought-provoking. then i watched "love actually" from my personal dvd collection. love that movie SO MUCH. right. 6. i saw my grandma and aunt today at the mall in kirklands. i used to see my grandma every sunday for dinner, but we quit going a couple of months ago. it was good to see her! 7. i wish i could shop for a living. i would love that. eta: oops had to edit one out, don't want to get schtickled this evening.

1. Tomorrow, Flyboy and I get our engagement pictures taken. I'm at a loss as to what to wear. They are going to be candid type shots at three different outdoor locations in town, so I am excited! The pictures will be available to see online Wednesday. 2. I'm gonna go get my nails done today and maybe do a little shopping for a fall type shirt to wear for the photos. 3. In addition, I have to order the invitations - we finally decided on a simple, white and black invitation! 4. Yesterday, we went to a bridal store and selected the bridesmaids dresses. That was a huge relief. We choose full-length black A-line skirts, with a choice of three different platinum tops, all with a black ribbon tied around the waist. I tried them all on and they looked nice. Whew. Another thing marked off. 5. The only other wedding related item I have to do this weekend (today) is make a completed list of who is coming to the rehersal dinner so we can get a better idea of the total cost for his family. 6. It is overcast, foggy, and cool here today. I slept in until nearly 9:30 and it felt wonderful! I can't remember when I did that last...well, I can't remember the last time I slept that late and was asleep before midnight. 7. I have about 8 more thank you notes to write from my birthday/housewarming. I am taking my time writing them so that I can personalize my words. 8. I hope everyone has a terrific Sunday! I'm gonna go start my list of things to do. 8.1 We booked our honeymoon!! We're going to Jamaica...Couples Swept Away

1. I am still sick, I have been in bed all weekend. This is not me. 2. I have to go to work tomorrow, and I really don't feel up to it. Maybe I will be better tomorrow. 3. I miss all the people from Mystic, I really felt so comfortable with everyone. 4. I am glad that everyone is going smoothly for Spybaby and she will love Jamaica. 5. My temporary roommate baked her heart out yesterday. She is a Martha Stewart Clone. (How lucky am I?)] 6. She said she did it in memory of Martha's incarceration. LOL 7. I am going to see Mamma Mia on Broadway next Saturday. 8. I also got tickets for La Cage Aux Folles for November, they are opening in November. 9. I am going to eat soup for lunch.

1. I'm so sorry to hear that Gidget doesn't feel well. 2. I was very sick yesterday. I went to sleep at 7:00 pm. 3. I'm feeling 100% better today. 4. Glad I don't have to go to work tomorrow. 5. DH, DD and I went to our main library's ribbon cutting ceremony today. 6. Library cost the tax payers 57 million dollars. It was well worth it. What a beautiful facility. 7. Made up a new recipe for baked french fries. 8. The fries were delicious. 9. I've always wanted to see Mamma Mia. 10. It's really hard to come up with 10 facts!!
