((((SCHOOLMARM))))
1. Yesterday, Christi, Noah, Noelle, and I went shopping for their school clothes. It was tax free weekend. Christi did very well buying everything they needed.
2. We are moved into our new house and the best item is the Whirlpool tub. AH!!!!
3. Finally, we received the keys to the scrapbooking store. Now the contractor needs to get the work done. Maybe in 2 weeks, it will be opened. Only 2 months late! Season will be over, too.
4. I am sorry about the people here that have lost their jobs!
5. Twinkie - if you can not get to FL come half way and move here to Myrtle Beach. I like it better than FL. People are so nice! Weather is great, too.
6. My DH and I went to see I Robot. Pretty good movie.
7. Noah, my grandson, is taking swimming lessons. He was afraid of the water, but he is doing much better.
8. I enjoy reading all your posts and love you all!

1. I got a phone call tonight from that special guy who I had been seeing when he disappeard on me and gave me the silent treatment.

2. He's been out of town for his job this last week in rural Idaho and wasn't able to call.

3. He said he was sorry and he has too much on his plate right now for a relationship, it wasn't about me, but about him. He looked very regretful.

4. I looked him in the eye and told him he "disappeared" on me. He apologized for that, and looked genuinely sorry.

5. I also looked him in the eye when I told him he hurt me. Again, he was very sorry.

6. I told him this all made me realize a very important thing: I'm not ready for a relationship.

7. I also told him I understood how overwhelmed he is with lack of time and how too many priorities in his life had taken a backseat. I forgave him for his shortcomings and for hurting me.

8. We hugged a long time and promised not to be strangers to one another.

9. He is very special, but I have let him go, and am moving on to a new chapter in my life... alone.

1. Marm, thank you for sharing about the funeral services. My heart goes out to all of you.

2. I developed a head and chest cold yesterday and it's starting to get worse...ugh!

3. I went back to work today after being on vacation for the last 2 weeks.

4. I posted my vacation report in the Road Trip thread if you're interested.

5. Silly, it sure is good to see you around here lately!!

6. I've been trying to get caught up on various threads around the board and especially with BB.

7. While on vacation, I didn't watch any TV....and I survived!!

8. Luckily, ds#1 taped BB and AR for me while we were away...yay!!

9. I'm off to bed now with hopes that I'll be feeling better tomorrow morning.

10. Came back to add #10 since Sage posted 9 facts before me. Hi Sage!!

1. My family is all home... sorta, as teenage boys they are off with girls!! DS#1 drove home with a girl, and she is staying overnight... our first overnight guest for him...

2. We need a new car, and we need space - we have 4 cars in the driveway, only 2 are drivable, actually only one... the van wont pass the emissions testing due to the check engine light is on. I keep fixing things.

1. Kaykay, what are Auggie Doggies?? I love the name and I remember watching a cartoon in my youth with a dad and son dog and I think the son was named "Auggie Doggie".

2. I woke up feeling a bit better but I definitely have a head/chest cold. Thanks for your well wishes Froggiegirl!!

3. In fact, I actually got up at 5am and mopped my kitchen floor and wrote out some bills! I'm a morning person.

4. Now I've got about 30 minutes left before I must get ready for work, so here I am! LOL!!

5. I love all the FACTOIDS who participate on this thread...thanks so much for sharing of yourselves. Have a great Tuesday!!

1. I didnt get to bed till 3:45AM!!

2. Boys discovered we changed wireless services (same # YEAH!) AND they now share a phone + minutes

3. Lots of confusion when boys tested said phones - #1 went to se #2 at #2's girlfriends house, and changed my phone with "theirs"

4. #1 DS was to pick up #2... but forgot to put his friends car in driveway - the police like to ticket cars on the road after 1AM... So I call my nmber to make sure he came back to put that car in our driveway.

5. He came back in another friend's car! That friend wanted to check out #1 broken Honda CRX

6. "Will y'all just get home and stay here please?" DH went to bed at 1AM (as did dd - dd said it was too exciting to go to bed!)

7. All came home at 2:20AM, and we stayed up and talked Disney - and I wanted these yunguns to vote!! So a touch of politics!!

7.1 I made a french toast cassarole last night - french bread,eggs, overnight, bake at 350 for 45 min... just put it in the oven - I'm the only one awake....

8. Still no check. A courier should be delivering it any time now. I've called an attorney friend of mine and will now keep documentation of all delayed, missing, incorrect paychecks I receive and he will take it from there.

9. I have not been working for the last 2 days since I haven't gotten paid yet for the last 2 weeks. I'm holding my own little mini strike in hopes that my boss will pay for direct deposit from now on.

10. Both dd's are at their cousins getting their hair done.

1. DD#1 has an interview on Thursday at HSN and hopefully will be able to start on Monday as DH said they have a training class starting then. He's worked there in production for 4 years and they actually encourage relatives working there. She'll make more money and have benefits to boot.

2. After the Vet's office let her go after 2 years, the new girls who has her certification didn't show up for 4 days. Hehe...they called dd to see if she would come back and she told them no.

3. Going to the dr this afternoon to try to get some relief for this hormone imbalance that is akin to being psycho.

01. Eggie: me either.
02. After last night's horrors, I slept most of the day, so, natch, I am not tired at the moment.
03. DH was pretty wiped out most of the day, too.
04. So, we are watching an unfunny Bill Maher; I'm wishing he'd fall asleep so I could watch the Joe Schmoe 2 finale.
05. I'm taking a break from rereading my Wiccan Feng Shui book and taking notes in the margins to transfer later into !Treepad.
06. I'm also still clearing away stuff--I think it will be a good clean out day tomorrow today.
07. We're under a major heat alert, so I'll have plenty of time to clean things out, since the weather bureau is suggesting people not be outside if you don't have to be.
08. Punk is still doing well: he's gaining weight, which is WAY cool.

1. Wow...I haven't posted here since before Big Brother started.

2. It's too easy to get all wrapped up in that part of the board when that's the area that's always moving.

3. My mom sent another picture ofher horses...I posted that in the horse thread.

4. Cute little baby Leif brought his parents up here () two weekends ago. I posted a picture of him over in Jbeans folder.

5. I want to apologize again for being so neglectful of Jbeans folder! I suck and I'm sorry!

6. Really, for an update on my last month, her folder is the place to go because I just can't write it ALL out again. It was a long post.

7. It's cold. It feels like fall. It's about 50 degrees and sprinking and it feels like October. Doesn't help that the news is returning to all Packers news all the time. That's very fall.

8. I kind of like the col weather though. Makes the mosquitoes go away. HA! I hate mosquitoes.

9. I went out and bought a new comforter and sheets. Yay. They're all a liht green. I went to Target, Kohls, ShopKo, JC Pennys, TJMaxx, and Gordmans but the best deal I found was at Burlington Coat Factory. It didn't come as a bed in a bag thing- I had to piece a set together but I got pretty nice sheets (400 tc) Queen size for $39 and the comforter, which I love because it's so simple and no patterns, was the same price. So, shoppers, if you've never heard of it, I suggest going to their website if you don't have one near you- particularly for baby stuff. They have the "Baby Depot" there- tons of stuff cheap.

10. Yikes...Now we have a hurricane on it's way so dh may have to stay home with the house and pets instead of dd #1. I can't leave her here in a storm alone while we move dd#2 to college.

9.Thanks Twiggy. I agree...we've had so much rain DH hasn't been able to keep up with the mowing...it's always wet out there.

10. I'm waiting to see what happens after it passes the mountains in Cuba. That sometimes breaks these little storms up enough to where they are really not much worse than our typical summer thunderstorm.

10.5. Although our typical Thunderstorm can pack some punch.

1. Alright, alright. I'll be the Fact Thread Schtickler

2. Welcome newbies to the Facts thread! This thread works by building on the previous person's post.

3. If the person before you posted facts 1, 2, and 3, you then post 4 facts (1, 2, 3, and 4).

4. This continues until someone reaches 10. Then, the next person comes along and posts 1 fact.

5. Then the next person posts 1 and 2.

6. Then the next person posts 1, 2, and 3.

7. Then the next person...well, you get the idea :-)

8. So, since it appears that Grandmato posted 1-8, I'm gonna post 9.

9. The next person comes along and posts 10, and then we start over.

Happy Wednesday!!!
