1. I had a great time today playing with the girls in Zules folder! 2. My boss is making us wear overalls for a group picture tomorrow. We're not very happy about this. 3. I'm so glad tomorrow is Friday. For me it's been a really long week. 4. I heard it may rain this weekend. I think that would be great. It is way too warm here in Northern California.

1. I had a long day at work today! 2. I did make it home in time to watch Survivor and tune into my son's college radio show. 3. DJ son has really fine tuned his style and I'm really enjoying his delivery!! 4. Hey! I received a bouquet of roses delivered to my office. Nah, it wasn't a secret admirer or even Egbob...lol. Just a nice thank you from a super nice parent. 5. Egbob is feeling much better, still sick but getting better. I'm still fighting the yukies and continue on with my Echinacea! I can't get sick....I can't get sick...I can't get sick....

1. I'm so sorry to hear about so many people getting sick. 2. I'm finally feeling much better. 3. I took the advice of a friend and gargled with some vodka then swallowed it. 4. It burned my throat really bad, but after about 15 minutes it didn't hurt at all. Amazing! 5. I was feeling so good that I actually went out tonight with a guy I met from the singles group. 6. Thursday nights are comedy nights at a local bar in a motel, and the singles group goes there and gets in free. That is where this guy and I went, and it was lots of fun, but I had too much to drink, and now I'm drinking lots of water and waiting til I'm sober before going to bed because I don't want a hangover.

1. Wondering if I should gargle Vodka this weekend or just swallow it as usual 2. I hope everyone starts feeling better, including me. 3. I should buy stock in Kleenex because I've used about 1000 of them lately. 4. Sweetest Day is tomorrow. Our first "holiday" as a married couple. 5. For those of you who have never heard of "Sweetest Day", it's a completely commercial holiday that the greeting card industry made up to sell more cards. 6. I was finally able to stop playing phone tag with my best friend. It was so nice to catch up with her. 7. Have a great weekend everyone!!!!!

1. Posted GALs latest thought in the Wedding Planning thread and in the News and Views "Breaking Headlines" thread.....she just may disown me! She's just a Teeeeeenie bit frazzled, but extremely happy and excited! 2. I'm done teaching for the day, but have MOUNDS of work to do. 3. Today our new music building is dedicated! There will be a press photo op and all the window shades have to be lowered to EXACTLY the right level so the building looks pretty! 4. It would help if the workmen were actually DONE with the building! Artwork is being hung at a frantic pace. Paint is being patched. I have no hope for the door numbers to actually be ON the doors! LOL! 5. We have the REAL celebration at 7:30 tonight. Lots of performances and big tours of the building. 6. Thank God the chancellor bought us new classroom desks/chairs....(the state hasn't released the 2-year old appropriation for our equipment yet, dang it!)...it was looking like a 1940s junior high with our old desks. 7. So we have a recording studio that is empty! Really old and crappy stereos and pianos in the classrooms. Empty practice rooms. And the professor's office desks....well, mine is a metal jobbie circa 1950, and it's one of the newer ones. I actually have a little chair in my office that is tagged Southern Illinois NORMAL School....it's an antique now! 8. My cat actually let me pet her and hold her a couple of times yesterday. She is eating TOO much food, or I am feeding the squirrels or other monstrous animals! I left out a box and basket for her to shelter her from the cold, but she didn't want to sleep in her kitty bed. NOPE, just curled up against the step on the doormat. LOL! 9. I LOVED survivor last night, and I was surprised. I'm liking the "happenings" and the "Shake up". 10. I am going to see Rocky Horror Picture Show after we dedicate the building. I need stress relief!

1. Pcakes....oh, yeah....in my business suit from the opening ceremonies for the building....I DO have rhinestones on my shoes though. 2. Last time I dressed for Rocky Horror I ran in to my Dean and the President of the University....I'm going conservative this time! One reception down, two to go!

1. I had a fun day subbing in a 6th grade class today. I'll be there all next week with them too because their teacher's getting her tonsils out. Ouch! 2. Kerry and Bush ae both going to be in the area today. Kerry's coming in tonight and Bush is flying into the airport here in about a half hour and going down to Oshkosh. This is going to make me late for work because he's taking the highway that I have to take at just about the same time I have to be on it. He's already made me late for work once, driving down my street when I had to leave. Living in a swing state isn't all it's cracked up to be 3. I need a third fact. Hmmmm.... I need to clean one of my fishtanks this weekend...it's having nitrate problems and growing a lot of algae.

1. Marm, my indoor cat is a barometer - when he starts eating a lot (in the winter) I get worried it usually means the weather will get cold. Since your cat is outdoor methinks she is putting on her winter "padding." 2. TGIF TGIF TGIF 3. It has gotten cold and gray here - yyyyyyucky. 4. On the other hand cold and gray does give me an excuse to lay around in bed tomorrow

1. We didn't have to have our picture taken in overalls today - yea! 2. Instead on Monday, we'll be taking pictures in safety vests and hard hats. This is supposed to represent our department. 3. I'm not sure the new idea is any better. 4. I'm sure that orange is not my favorite color. 5. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

1. I haven't been feeling well all week, but it isn't a cold or the flu, I just feel blah. Really blah. Headaches, nausea, tummy aches. I hope it passes soon. 2. Thanks, everyone, for the compliments on Jenna, she really is a sweetheart. 3. She had her first messy art class this week and it was so much fun. She was covered in paint, but really enjoyed herself. Next week, they get to paint with their hands and feet! I will be sure to take some pictures. 4. Jake went to a pumpkin patch today with his preschool. I didn't go because it would have been during Jenna's naptime. It is the first field trip I haven't gone on and I am feeling really guilty about it now. I cried the whole way home after I dropped him off. 5. I haven't been able to exercise much this week due to my walking partner being busy, me not feeling very well and it getting dark so early. I feel like a slob! 6. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

1. the space heater that i bought the other night ROCKS! it is warmer than my real heat system is! gotta love that. 2. i am getting fat again! since i am not swetting so much, being hot at work, the weight is starting to come back. 3. i went to the new fitness center location this afternoon to walk on the treadmill. the new treadmills have the abilitiy to keep you at your target heart cardio rate. too cool! 4. but what's up with the new location being right next to the liquor store (attached to the same building, nonetheless!) i had to stop and get some black cherry zima. lol 5. tomorrow morning i'm going to my coworker's house to have her husband (who is a mechanic) replace a wheel bearing on my front passenger wheel. this is saving me a shitload of money. thank goodness! we are also going to make me a candle while i'm there. i've never got to do that before! 6. this afternoon i went tanning (my once a week dose of fake sun), and the same girl is usually working when i go in. she is very friendly. well when i was leaving she said "have a good weekend, jamie" LOL, since that isn't my name! but it is my "bar name" lol. what a coincidence! 7. i bought the latest sara evans cd (well, ok, bmg gave it to me for $2.79 shipping fees) just because i love her latest song "suds in the bucket" it is constantly stuck in my head......yee hoo! happy friday, factoids!

1. Went on the field trip with Kota's class today. It was a cute play, the kids loved it. 2. We'd been there about 3 minutes when she climbed up in my lap and took a nap. Poor kid was feeling lousy even though she spent the first part of the morning telling me she felt fine. 3. Caleb wasn't feeling well either. Luckily today was a minimum day so the kids got to come home and rest. They spent the day camped in front of the tv. 4. My baby niece is now standing up on her own without using something to pull herself up on. She's a little shakey, but it's a new accomplishment for her. 5. Just finished taking my test for my class. I have really been slacking with it the last couple of weeks. Things have been slightly hectic round here and my classwork has suffered. I believe I did fairly well on the test, there's only one of the problems I'm a litte worried about and I figure if I don't get 100% it will be that one that did it, lol. 6. I really enjoy the online format of this class and hope I can get into more of them in the future. It is nice that I can work on it when I have the time, which is usually late at night! 7. Our anniversary is in 16 days and we have no plans at all. Don't really have anyone right now to watch the kids since my neighbors are expecting a baby soon and my family is tied up. 8. The last couple weekends I've spent being lazy. This weekend I'm not doing it again, lol. I've got a pile or laundry waiting for me since I decided now would be a good time to get all the winter stuff clean, and that getting the summer clothes washed and put up would be good. Since my pipes seem to be cooperating right now I need to get it all done now!

1. I'm in a real sobering mood tonight. 2. I'm tired of the lies and the games a lot men play. 3. I have several guy friends who tell me things like "all men are a$$holes" or "all men are pigs". 4. I know that isn't true of all men, but I have to tell you, I've met some real "winners". 5. A couple of my girlfriends are facing some very serious issues in their lives, and I'm very concerned for them. One of them told me she was ready to put a bullet through her head and I understand her despair, but my heart just cries out, NO! 6. Tomorrow, I'm going to a chilifest at a local park where there will be chili and corn bread cooked in dutch ovens. This is a single's gathering, and I'm looking forward to it. The weather is supposed to be breezy and cold, in the 60's, so the hot food will be perfect, and I plan on dressing warmly. 7. I hope that I'm done being sick. 2 weeks of dealing with it is enough. 8. I'm having a very difficult time losing the weight I gained during my surgery recovery period. I never imagined 10 stupid pounds could be so hard to take off. It was so easy to lose the whopping 83 lbs, but this is feeling more monumental than that. Argh! 9. I really need to have some realistic, attainable goals in my life, but I realized just now I'm so tired from all the challenges I've faced over the last several years, and I just want someone to lean on, to nurture me for a while and love me and take care of me so I can have the strength to face more challenges to come, and be able to reach some goals for my life. But I know that I can't count on that happening, and I just have to dig in deeper and find the strength to keep going it solo.

1. I'll need to do more than two facts. 2 Last night was the big high school match up between our HS alma mater and Egbob's HS where he works. Cross town rivalries. 2.1 It was the Homecoming Game for our HS Alma Mater. 2.2 My nephew is the Senior Drum Major and he was also running for Homecoming King. He belongs to middle little sister. 2.3 I've also got two nieces who are cheerleaders there...sisters no less! They belong to little sister. 2.4 The niece who is a Senior cheerleader was running for Homecoming Queen. 2.5 They both won!! Homecoming King and Queen!! 2.6 And on top of all that personal good news, our HS alma mater FINALLY won a football game from Egbob's HS after a 23 year losing streak!!! 2.7 It was a fabulous night and I enjoyed the experience...and Egbob was a good egg about his HS losing. 2.8 And just for the record, I sat with my two sisters. Egbob and I spoke by cell phone as he was down on the playing field with the coaches. He would call me and tease me when his school made a TD...and after halftime, I was able to call him and tease him right back after "our" side scored 3 TD's with no response from the "bad guys"...LOL!! 2.9 Final score: Good Guys 42, Bad Guys 36. 2.10 Homecoming King: Nephew, Homecoming Queen: Niece EDIT: P.S. to Nickovtyme - May I suggest you try using Echinacea? I felt the sore throat and misery symptoms starting up a few days ago and I have been taking my Echinacea since then, once in the AM, once in the PM. I'm feeling really good today!! I hope you'll be feeling better soon!! Take care.

1. Mamie I'm glad you went to the eye doctor. Not only can they check your vision but also the health of your eye's. It's really important. 2. Eventually all of us will need bifocals. Our eye's age with us. This is just a fact of life. 3. It'll be an adjustment to get bifocals but won't it be nice to see clearly again. You'll do great! 4. Did you get your trip to Starbucks? I took your advise and I'm trying a Rachel Ray recipe for Chili for dinner. I'll let you know how it turns out.

1. I am one of the dummies who could NEVER adjust to bifocals. I have them now and simply never wear them (except when driving at night). 2. The trick is to 'point your nose,' Mamie. You'll understand that in time. I just found that completely infuriating, however. (No peripheral vision unless your turn your head!) 3. I do need to go get examined, though. I am suspicious that at least some of my headaches are probably due to be 'donkeyish' behavior about not wearing glasses. 4. I bought Aquaphor (made by Eucerin) for my dry old feet and elbows today--as recommended by Kaykay and Julieboo. I could feel relief almost immediately! I'm hoping it works long-term! 5. I also took Dahli's recommendation (rather than the Vodka Sage used (!!), or the Echinacea Eggie -and my dd- use but has never done anything for me) and bought some 'grapefruit seed extract' as a trial to see if it helps me get over the mess a lot of us (including you, evidently, Nickovtyme) are experiencing. She swears by it. I don't usually get into herbal stuff. but . . .

1. I went to see Mamma Mia on Broadway today and absolutely absolutely loved it. Then went to El Quijote for Spanish/lobster and had Apple Martinis LOL. 2. Stopped by the theater and bought box seats for Wicked in April. 3. There was a huge flea market outdoors on Broadway, and we walked up and down the street - shopping, something I never do <laughing> bought those eyelash scarves for $5 each. OMG, the girls from Mystic are gonna kill me. 4. Tomorrow is my best friend's first baby shower. She is having 2. 5. I had just the best time today. 6. I am hoping GAL and Colossus are having a great wedding and I am so sorry I couldn't go.
