1. Oh Yankee, I've done that too in the parking lot next door during 8:00 am traffic! Still have the scar on one knee (ego too). 2. Spent the weekend in my pj's nursing a migraine. Thankfully, woke up this morning and it has subsided into a manageable headache. Yuck.

1. Yes, I'm OK, thanks for asking. It's more my ego than anything -- knees are just a little scraped and one might bruise. The worst part is where I fell was in front of two outdoor dining patios at lunchtime. And I thought I was super-styling in my heels, too. What a loser. 2. I'd like to be one of the first to wish Ginger a very happy birthday. Ginger, honey, age is just a number. You are vivacious, beautiful and fabulous ... don't let the numbers get to you! 3. We still have 9 ducklings in our lagoon. I do a "Juju count" every morning. 3.1 Ddr, hope your headache is better.

1. It was really cold here last night so the pool is really cold. It's warming up this afternoon, and I hope that I can get a swim in before the 'skeeters go nuts in the evening. 2. YIKES, Yankee...I feel your pain! Been there, done that. Here's to quick healing! 3. I'm having a "marm" day in my nightshirt. School starts WAY too soon! I'm working (kinda) but not going in. Gonna do my schedule two or three syllabi and send in an abstract for a research thing. 4. I'm giving a research paper in LONG BEACH in November! WHOO HOO! Can't wait to go...I've never been anywhere near LA, except to change planes at LAX on my way to Honalulu. 5. DDR....I had a migraine-like headache last week. UGG...hope you get your energy back soon!

Having very sick conversations in work today, we are all very strange. 5. Waiting for the rain to stop, it is getting nuts already. 6.

1. Send some rain here, Ginger....it hasn't rained since I moved to Carbondale! 2. The Kroger grocery store has sound effects in it, and it sounds like a thunderstorm when the veggies get "sprinkled". The dairy section moos at you and it sounds like you are in the rainforest in the pet care section. So anyone have a guess at why it sounds like a train in the frozen food section? 3. I still don't have my little work job done, but I'm getting really good at Bejeweled! 4. And Ginger, have a GREAT birthday....you are only as old as you (choose one) act, feel, look! 5. My parents went home yesterday, but they will be taking me back to PA when I have to have my Lasik enhanced. That way I don't have to drive long distances right after surgery. 6. I have my entertainment center organized, mostly and I love the way it looks in the living room. The new bookcases also look great. 7. I still have close to 200 boxes to unpack. BLECH!

1. Great introductory post, Annieb! I checked out your website and some of the sites you've designed, and am very impressed with your work. One site had a picture of a fairy on a watering can. I love the fairy and the artist's use of color! 2. I bumped my hand this morning. I forgot about it until just now when it started aching and I noticed it has a bruise. I'm sorry Yankee got boo-boos today. 3. Ginger, when we meet in Mystic, I'll have just turned 51, too. We rock!

1. i got stung by a wasp 2 weekends ago (not this one but the one before), and now it is itching like crazy! any suggestions for what to do to it? 2. i was worried about going back to work again today, i figured the rumors would be flying around about our wild night on thursday, because alterego pretty much told everyone we would be partying. luckily they weren't. 3. i had forgotten that on our insane night out, my friend called her boss (who is the CEO's son and younger than both she and i!!!) and left a message on his voice mail at work using some very colorful (and slurred) language re: a washington apple shot she had just taken (that is the boss' favorite shot) and after it made her sick, she was in the bathroom at the bar looking for the stall (leaving a message for the boss). lol, i had forgotten that happened, and then a guy that works with us came out and told me about it and that they had saved the message. LOLOLOL! crazy! i love it. 4. alterego also brought a disposable camera out that night and got some very interesting pictures. heavy drinking + camera = total humiliation LOL eta: welcome annie, we love new posters around here

1. Welcome aboard Annie!! I really enjoyed your introduction of facts. 2. Yesterday Egbob and I took DD & DS#1 to the California Science Center to see a very interesting and tasteful exhibit called "Body Worlds - The Anatomical Exhibition of Real Human Bodies". 3. Since I work in the healthcare field, I found this exhibit to be fascinating. I found myself wishing something like this exhibit had been around when I was taking Anatomy way back when! 4. The real (donated) human bodies are put through a process called "Plastination". My favorite part of the exhibit was the view of the arteries and capillaries that make up our kidneys and liver...it was truly amazing to see. 5. I know this type of exhibition might sound strange to some of you, however, I'll say that after viewing what's inside our bodies, from blood vessels, to nerves plexuses, to organs, muscles, bone and skin...I've come away with a continuing respect for my body and I will always maintain my healthy lifestyle.

1. I haven't posted facts in quite some time. 2. I've been so busy these past few weeks, and working way too many hours at work! I need a vacation... 3. We're thinking of doing a 2 or 3 day trip to Baltimore Inner Harbor. I've never been there, but I hear it's a fun place. 4. We're also considering going to Niagra Falls. Hopefully we'll decide soon so I can get the days off from work. 5. I wanted to wait until the two weddings I am in are over, but that wouldn't be until mid October and I'm afraid that it would be too cold here on the upper east coast. 6. I started tanning for the weddings and I'm glad to have that 20 minutes a day of "me" time to just lay there and imagine I'm on a sunny, sandy beach. So relaxing!

1. I'm at work, but pretty soon I get to leave and go to "Meet the teacher Day" at DD school. 2. I am really looking forward to this school year-I don't know if any of you remember the troubles I had with last school year, but well...lets just say it was a great test for my patience! 3. DD will be back in the school that she went to Kindergarten (when we lived on the other side of town) only this time she will be in the GATE program-I just absolutely LOVE this school-the teachers are all wonderful and I could not possibly say enough great things about the principle. 4. This Friday is my last day here at my job and although I am anxious to start working on my house and being a SAHM again, I am going to miss some of the people here. 5. I didn't do a thing all weekend long! Nothing, really not even a load of laundry! I'm bad I know... 6. A dear friend of mine announced 2 weeks ago that she was getting married so...here we go again-I am in another wedding! I think this one will be so much fun as I am really great friends with this girl and it is going to be a medieval/celtic themed wedding. AND I am Maid Of Honor!!! Woohoooo 7. I don't smoke cigarettes anymore and I can not stand the smell anymore

1. I'm so danged bored and sad this morning. 2. Kids were up, had eaten breakfast, dressed, and were standing at my bedside by 6am. 3. Took them to school and got to meet the teachers. Dakota's is brand spanking new and very young. 4. Caleb's class is made up entirely of kids he doesn't know. Since we stopped tracking, they have gone from 2 teachers for every grade level for red track to 6-8 teachers for every grade level. I have few worries about him though, he'll be friends with his entire class by the end of the day knowing Caleb, lol. 5. Not too sure about Dakota's class since I dropped her off early and there were only four other kids there at the time, but I do know her two closest friends are in another class. She was a little sad though but I did let her know they could play together at recess and lunch, so hopefully she does ok. 6. Now to the reason for my boredom and sadness. I have been home not quite 2 hours, the house is eerily quiet, my chores for the day are done, and I don't know what to do with myself! 7. I worked full time up til Caleb was almost 6. I've been home 2 years with the kids, and have up until now, had Dakota home at least half the day to occupy my time. Two and a half hours into the new school year and I'm really not sure I like this at all! 8. I'm hoping next week when my class starts it will be a little better. I will have something to do at least part of the time. And of course once the kids get settled in school I will have a couple days of volunteering to do. I do know I have to find something to keep me busy or else Darren's going to come home one day and find the poor dog bathed, brushed, dressed, and with pig tails in his fur!

1. My life just seems to be in constant transition. I feel so unsettled at times I don't know what to do with myself. 2. I want so much to just be settled and stick around here long enough when I visit, to take the time to read more threads and make posts, but I'm just not feeling settled enough to do it. I wish I could figure it out. I feel like a stranger! 3. I've been getting some counseling every 2 weeks and it seems all I talk to her about is my dating experiences and the guys who disappear. Although, yesterday, she steered me in a different direction. 4. We talked about my health problems/disability and what I can do as far as earning an income and the places to go to get some help for vocational rehab. This is a good thing, and it gives me some hope, but also some fear. 5. My special guy who disappeard, reappeared, was very regretful and apologetic and is now making more effort to keep in contact with me. 6. I'm trying real hard to keep a guard on my heart and emotions where he is concerned, cuz I've never felt this good with anyone before. 7. In fact, I realized there is only one other person, besides him, who I feel totally myself with, and that is my sister, who is my best friend. 8. On a different note, I'm really enjoying my beading projects. I've made about 5 different anklets and last night, I made 3 pairs of earrings. 9. I'm picking up my 6'4, 17 year old son this afternoon (not literally picking him up - LOL!)and I am bringing him home to fix him some dinner, go swimming, and maybe take him dart throwing too!

1. Welcome, Annieb! Loved your facts list! Hope to see more posts from you. 2. I haven't had time to play here at the clubhouse in a looong time, and I don't like that! I miss my TVCH buddies! 3. Mom's date for shoulder replacement surgery has been postponed again. She's having some balance problems now, and needs to see the neurologist before the surgery is ok'd. 4. Today is my younger brother's 45th birthday. I love him sooo much! I sent some amusing old photos of him (childhood, teen years, etc) to his buddy Tom at work, so Tom can make a humorous/razzing birthday presentation to show at today's big company meeting...LOL Greg will be surprised! 5. Last week, Ms. Sweetpea's new Mini Cooper was rammed into from behind by someone who was "admiring the Mini while waiting my turn at the stop sign, and stepped on the gas by mistake." 6. I am concerned about Twiggy and everyone in Fla. who was affected by the hurricane. 7. I can't believe I'm on a 1200 calorie a-day weight loss diet and actually sticking to it and doing great! (in 3rd week) Yay, me! 8. Saw some good movies recently, will post about them in the movie area. 9. I'm very excited about the new Survivor already!! 10. I'm applying for a promotion at work, will know in a few weeks if I get the OK.

1. You should see my house! It's so clean you could eat off almost any surface, including the beds! 2. I've got to pick the kids up in about 15 minutes and I have found myself staring at the clock wishing it would move just a bit faster! 3. Who knows, I may enjoy having the house to myself for six hours a day once I get used to it. All I know is that today has dragged by so very slowly.

1. Hi War, Hi Spy! 2. War, Ms Sweetpea is ok, thank you! Just very disappointed that she couldn't have had the car a little longer before it got its first dents. 3. Oh, yeah, and you can come clean my house, if it helps with your boredom! 4. It's so nice to have some time to hang out here today

1. War, girlfriend,.....I see a trip to southern Illinois in your future! I still have about 200 boxes to unpack at home. And the bad thing is I have to go to work Friday, so I only have two days left to unpack! 2. More in the office, but I put the shelves up in the bookcase and shelved a bunch of books and cleared off my desk. 3. I made an off-hand remark today and now I'm getting a harpsichord in my office. YIPPEE!!! I'm SO excited about that.....now if I could get a bench to go with the piano, I'd be set. 4. I still need to send off an abstract tonight, and finish two more syllabi. I'm starting to get lots of meetings booked in, but I'm hopeful of getting home early enough in the afternoons to get a swim in before the 'skeeters start biting! 5. I really need help with this outdoor fishpond. Are you supposed to change the water in it when it gets green? I think that the algae eater died or disappeared. BTW, I'm doing a little better with the cat, but she doesn't eat much and won't eat if I'm looking....is that normal?

5.1 Marm, cats are as individual as people. Being a shy eater is probably normal for her, at least until she knows you better. I've never heard of a cat letting itself starve to death, so wouldn't worry about the amount she's eating as long as she is active and looks healthy. Mine used to eat small amounts several times a day and was very finicky (spoiled, lol). From your previous posts, I'd say yours is finicky, too.

Hey, we could go to Mystic and meet some axe murderers. LOL!!!! 6. I want something good for lunch - any suggestions?

1. 19 years ago today I was traumatized by giving birth to my firstborn son, 10 1/2 pounds, no drugs... but a surgeon was called to sew me back up!! (something about his head and chest being 39cm!) 2. DS#1 is asleep on the couch, no telling what time he came home last night. 3. I havent gotten him any presents, as he had the car, he only wanted a "road trip" for his birthday. And his car fixed. 4. DD 7yrs is still throwing the most amazing temper tantrums. She exhausts us! 5. DS#2 starts Band Camp, to learn the football songs tonight. Tomorrow I'm getting his toe removed. Or just the parts that grow wrong and infect his foot! (4th time btw! All previous times we've seen a podiatrist!) 6. War, I dont clean well, I admit it, but when we do clean, it doesnt even last one hour. That depresses me like I cant even begin to describe. 7. Lunch. lhmmmm, I say Panera Breads' Asiago Roast Beef Sandwich!! (all I have is leftovers, yesterday I threw the leftover tacos on the tortilla chips, threw some black beans and cheese, and yumm!) 7.1 Is Marm going to have a TVCH housewarming? I see War is invited!! *beg!

1. Today I am going to post 7 facts and that is the number I posted last time! Perhaps I should only post my facts at number 7? 2. Today was DD first day of second grade and she was just cute as can be. I am in shock at how old she is getting-along with her well put together cute first day of school outfit she also made sure to wear matching jewelry-she is such a girlie girl now! 3. I always seem to buy shoes that are comfy in the store but KILL my poor tootsies when I get home 4. I have to work through my lunch today so I am useless at giving you any suggestions.....but if I could go to lunch today I would want a salad! 5. I sold my last textbook from last semester on Amazon today and for the three books I was willing to part with I made $87. I love the internet! 6. I am drinking a grande mocha-I haven't had any coffee in about 2 weeks and I am buzzzzzzzzzing! 7. I am LOL at this woman who started working here about a month ago-she is on the phone with one of our members and they are getting in to a huge screaming match-gotta love those new employees who have no concept of customer service! 8. i got beat to seven facts-perhaps it is not my number!
