Denecee, we'll all be there with you in spirit tomorrow. Think positive and try to get a good night's sleep. Maybe drink a glass of red wine before going to bed tonight.

1. I think a sardine sandwich sounds gross!! 2. I had to fire somebody yesterday for stealing from me. I'll never understand what motivates people to take from their employer. 3. I went to the grocery store by myself for the first time since my surgery. I did really good, although, I only brought in the refridgerated stuff. Everything else is out there waiting for Matthew to get home from school. 4. I got my new house shoes in that I ordered. They are so cute. Click my link to see...... Serta 5. (((Denecee))), I'll be thinking of you and your Mom tomorrow. I hope everything goes well.

1. {{hugs}} denecee, adding prayers for your mom, we will band together in prayer, and that is a mighty force! 2. Welcome Maggie May (pictures?) 3. Sardine sandwich sound more than gross to me! (course I'm an overly picky eater) 4. Schoolmarm, I talked last night to a friend who's son just started SIU - I mentioned what you said about SIU - she said it's always comforting hearing it from someone else (then she made sure I would take DS's down there for a visit!!) 5. Kady, those are some special slippers! 6. Today is payday!! (may the DS get jobs to pay for thier cars and insurance! )

You all don't know how much it means to me to see your prayers for my mom. I never knew the love I have for my mom was so deep and could hurt this much. I try to be as positive as I can but she is making sure everything is in order if the worse happens. (((tvclubhouse members)))

Awww...so sorry! I sure hope that the worst case scenario you're faced with is that she is going to want you to get ice cream for her after the surgery!

1. So glad to see Lkunkel's post today! 2. All day has been spent on this computer when I had promised myself only 30 minutes! 3. The weather has been beautiful here but is going to get humid again...rats! 4. Kady's slippers make a statement...too cute! 5. I used to have two students who planned sardine sandwiches on the same day just to gross me out. (One of them was my own niece.) 6. I really am trying to limit my time here...and now I'm posting in this thread...yikes! 7. Supper has not been cooked and it's 6:09!

1. Denecee, my thoughts will be with you and your mom tomorrow! 2. My dog, Jane, had her surgery yesterday. She was fixed and also had two tumors removed, one large and one small. We will find out in the next few days if they were cancerous. She has about 50 stitches, 2 drain tubes and has to take a bunch of pills, but she is being a trouper so far. 3. Saturday is mine and dh's 6th anniversary. We are taking a boat ride on the Columbia River from Portland to Astoria. It is a three hour ride, then we get 4 hours in Astoria before coming home. I just hope the weather is nice. 4. It has been raining like crazy here the last few days. Yesterday, in one shower we had an inch of rain in 20 minutes! I have complained all summer about how hot it is, but geez! Can't we find a happy medium? 5. I have been on the South Beach Diet for about 11 days now and I have lost about 8 pounds! Woo Hoo! 6. It was really hard at first, but I am amazed at how much better it makes me feel. I used to think that I had low blood pressure and that is why I felt like I was going to pass out if I didn't eat. Now I realize that it was caused by the things I was eating! No more sugar crashes! 7. Jake starts preschool on Sept. 15th. He is really excited about it and so am I! 8. Vee beat me to eight...hmmm...one more fact....oh yeah, we came thisclose to putting an offer on a really cool house in a town about 35 miles away this week, but we decided not too. I'm still kind of bummed about it though. It was so neat!

1. I hope I can make it to nine facts. 2. More prayers for Denecee and her mom coming their way. 3. Had to laugh. I thought I was the only one using Qtips when I clean. 4. Have to fess up, I don't clean often enough, but when I do, it's a bang up job. 5. I, too, was glad to see LK posted today. 6. Jewels, holding good thoughts for Jane, that she recovers quickly and that the tumors are benign. 7. I'm glad that Resortgirl is back and that she enjoyed her vacation. 8. Happy Anniversay Jewels. 9. I'm waiting for traffic to ease up, then going to Costco (a warehouse store). I only have three things on my list. I usually find way too much "stuff" that looks like fun to stick to my list.

1. Hoping things go well for Denecee and Mom...oh, my what a lot to worry about. 2. Got my hair cut today at Great Clips for $7! My hairdresser likes reality TV, too....she did a great job. I have a new hairdresser, for sure! 3. I got some more organizers for my office and a new speaker phone/answering machine. My office is coming along nicely. 4. I had four hours of meetings today and no classes. What a strange day. 5. My fish pond filter put the water into the garden instead of back into the fish pond today. The water was low, but clear and the fish seemed "happy" (or maybe they were frantic. I filled up more water, fed them and adjusted the filter hose so that the water went back into the pond. They are beautiful Japanese koi fish....two mostly white and 5 mostly gold. 6. I ran into two of my students at Walmart. (They are freshman) . They needed help with their homework, so there were are in the phone aisle going over their homework! LOL! 7. We had LOTS of new students at the new student convocation. I hope that they like it here are are successful in their studies. 8. Today is my nephew's birthday. I already sang Happy birthday on his answering machine. I'm hoping that he is still in a "spiderman" phase! 9. My realtor stopped by with a little "thank you" gift....a HUGE wine and cheese basket with two local winery wines, three cheeses, crackers, truffles, and chocolate raspberry little deserts. YUM! 10. I was in the pool for about 90 minutes today. Mostly vaccuuming, which I actually enjoy. Floated around til it got chilly. Sounded like the neighbors were having a frat party at their pool.....drink, drink, drink, dive , dive dive....ye gads!

1. We're never going to see Spy again with that dang tivo! 2. I'm really interested in hearing how Citruscitygal did at Costco with her 3 item shopping list, LOL. And if she did manage to get out with those 3 items, do you think I can get her to go to Costco for me and get the stuff just on my list since I never get out of there with just whats on my list?

1. Awwww....I'm a grandmum!! <insert "here-Buddy here-Buddy" whistle here> Silly, when can my grandson come visit me?? 2. Denecee, I'll hold your mom in my thoughts and prayers.....does she like Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia by any chance?? 3. Jewels, happy 6th anniversary; I hope Jane will heal soon and the outcome of the tumors brings good news; just an FYI for you... my ds#2 has been in Portland for the last 9 weeks volunteering at the Children's Museum by the Zoo. Along with volunteering, he also got to do some fun things and one of them was to ride in a hot air balloon over the Columbia River. 4. Marm, I'm glad your office is awesome and that your Koi survived the low tide...LOL!! 4.5 And to all the other Factoids, love ya all and think of you often!! Take care.

1. Jordan starts football practice this week. We ordered football shoes before we left for vacation and they were here when we got home. Only enough spikes for one shoe! Watching a 14 year old in a snit is not fun!! 2. I know Citrus and I betcha she got more then 3 things!! I'm going to guess 7!! 3. 101 with no humidity is more comfortable then 80 with 90% humidity! 4. I have a meeting today (my first in over a week) and am looking forward to catching up with my buddies there. 5 Speaking of buddies, a new friend at my meetings is going to go to the North Shore with me to see the leaves change. We are staying in a really nice log chalet... it has a jacuzzi and fireplace! I'm getting spoiled by all these amenities.

1. Cute puppy, Silly! 2. The Vice President visited Pottsville on Wednesday. It was a HUGE even in this little itty-bitty town. The motorcade drove past my house! 3. I went shopping with my cousin yesterday for centerpieces for her wedding. We left at 1pm, got home at 9:30pm. It was a very, very, very long day. 4. We also bought some fun accessories for her Bachelorette party on Saturday. We're gonna cause so much trouble!!! 5. My kitten is getting so big! He hardly even looks like the same cat. He's a trouble maker too. Must get that from his mama. 6. RG beat me to 5! Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!!!

1. I got my first pictures of Maggie May. 2. 3. She is a silky terrier, 1 year 3 months old. 4. We love her but my cat hates her. 5. She is the first dog we've ever had, so any handy advice would be so appreciated. 6. Thank you for welcoming her. 7. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

<<jbean thinks it must be cute dog picture day....awwww what cute pupsters!> 1. OMH, i had one hell of a day yesterday...so many things to report, these facts may be long. lol (it seems like yesterday was so long ago because of everything.) 2. went to work yesterday morning, and when i pull in, there is a security guard (rent-a-cop) standing by the gate in his shades. turns out a 1st shift employee came in during second shift on wednesday, and proceeded to try to beat the shit out of his stepdad, who works on 2nd, and bid on a 1st shift job, the stepson said he could not work the same shift with him and threatened to kill him if he had to. (NICE, huh) well, 3 guys tried to detain the guy, and he assualted them, as well, and bit one of the guys arms! so, the authrities were called and they took him away. needless to say his employment was terminated! now our building is on lockdown for awhile and there are security guards surrounding the building. scary stuff. i don't personally know the guy. 3. also on my way to work yesterday, when i pulled in the parking lot, my battery light came on in my car. i just bought a new battery in march, and knew it had a warranty, so i didn't sweat it much. after work i went to midas (where i bought the battery) and they looked at it. turns out the underlying problem was that the belt tensioner was burnt up, literally melted (they showed it to me). without it, the belt quits working, and the belt of course controls everything. 4. the intially estimate was $220, for parts and labor. that is a lot of money! but they found a less expensive way to do it. they were originally going to have to remove most of the stuff under the hood and replace the whole assembly of the tension pulley, but found just the tensioner. lucky for me it was half of the estimate, for a grand total of $109.83. still shitty but better than $220!!! 5. also i was supposed to go to a personal shower/bachelorette party for a friend. the whole car incident put me way behind, and i had to miss the shower part, but told sarah i would meet them out somewhere, cuz i had a gift for her and i wanted to party with her a little. 5. they didn't meet me til 9:45 (keep in mind i had to get up at 4 this morning to be at work by 5). there were about 12 girls shoved into a limo, drinking, and basically raising hell. i was the most well-behaved of all of us, if you can believe that! i only had 3 drinks! 6. HOWEVER, i stayed out much later than planned. it was so much fun! we went to several clubs downtown....absolute insanity! one of the girls was so drunk that she fell off of the barstool she was setting on, and her shoes (high heels) went flying! she has on a dress and was spread eagle on the floor! needless to say from then on, we kept a close eye on her! 7. the girl in fact #6, also pulled a spygirl, and was walking downtown, carrying her shoes! i told her she better put them on, and she said they hurt too bad. sound familiar spy? 8. i ended the "evening" or i guess i should say "morning", by putting that poor girl in the limo and being dropped off at my car at 1AM!!! i went to bed at 1:30 and had to get up at 4am. there are many more details about the evening that i skipped over, but sufficed to say it was such a FUN, interesting evening. it was like watching girls gone wild. lol!

1. Our fair started tonight. Kicking off the concert series is REO Speedwagon and Styx. 2. I've been sitting here for the last couple of hours listening to their concert. 3. I think they're sound guys are messing around though. Some parts have been very clear, while others have been kind of mumbled (could just be my bad hearing too though!) Of course, since I'm 1/2 mile away, sitting in my den, and listening for free, who am I to complain about the sound quality? 4. The kids had a minimum day today. We'd told them they needed to clean their rooms. Since they were doing that, I decided to work on a project I've been wanting to do and had sworn I wasn't doing with them around. 5. We went through all the toys, clothes, and books in Caleb's room looking for things that were broken, torn, or in too bad a shape to pass down, we found all the things he's outgrown and they went into seperate boxes (one for junk, one for things that needed to be given away.) Now I remember why I wasn't going to do it with the kids around! Every item was a fight, lol. 6. But, I promised Dakota since we'd done his, we'd do hers tomorrow. I'm hoping since she's eager to do it the fight won't be so bad. 7. Then tomorrow night we are taking the kids to the fair. I always enjoy going because we seem to run into everyone we know. 8. Caleb came home today and told me next week he has share and that this year, participation in share will count as part of his grade. The theme? Animals. They are not allowed to take dogs, cats, or snakes, but according to Caleb, everything else is fair game. 9. I promised him I'd go in on Monday and talk to his teacher about bringing his turtle in sometime during the week. I'm actually not sure she'll want us to, so we'll see. At the moment though, it looks like Harry Potter, the red ear slider is going to be taking a car trip and going to visit some third graders.

1. Nine again - I'll give it a try. 2. Maggie May is a cutie. Buddy is adorable. Makes me want a puppy. But my dog Chloe is already jealous of Parker (my son's dog) and he only comes to visit. I think we'll be staying a one dog household for now. 3. All the reports about bridal showers/bachelorette parties makes me nostalgic for my younger days. 4. Costco report: I went for three things, I bought three things. 5. Does it matter that only one of the three was on my original list? 6. Does the "count" count, or sticking to the original list? 7. We should all note this date(~RG~), because it may be the one and only time I didn't buy out the store. 8. War and Silly - I could probably do better with someone else's list than I do my own. 9. Inspired by Herckleperckle yesterday and legendary stories of Wargod, I did some cleaning today. Lots more to do, but I ran out of Q-tips. Should have had those on the Costco list. 10. War beat me to nine. I wish eveyone a good weekend.

1. LOL Citrus, I should have sent you to Costco for me this evening, you probably would have saved me a bunch of money! Hubby cashed out his sick time so we did are usual stock up on everything imaginable when we get a little extra cash. I think it's safe to assume I won't be shopping for TP, kleenex, paper towels, vitamins, or meat for a few months, LOL!

1. I went to dinner/happy hour with the "Society for Happy Intellectual Teachers" ...you can spell the acronym...anyway just people in my department. What fun, and how refreshing! My previous department couldn't sit in a faculty meeting together without raising voices, let alone socialize together! We went to a great Mexican restaurant and had a great time. 2. My parents are coming down on Tuesday or Wednesday to help me get unpacked and to drive me to PA on Thursday for my Friday eye surgery. Friday is also my Mom's birthday. I told her she could watch my surgery, but she said that she would rather watch heart surgery. (YUCK!)

1. I am on vacation!!! Yay. 11 days! I don't really have any plans though. I'll probably run up to see my mom for a few days, down to see Carolyn and her baby, and then this weekend we might go to the cabin. Errr...make that today. Labor Day weekend we're camping in Door County. 2. I got a 5 year anniversary thing from work yesterday. Now, I know places tend to be pretty cheap with this kind of stuff so the tiny UPS pin didn't surprise me that much. In fact, I would have been fine with that. But then they also toss in a plaque. Wait, can I even call it that? Okay, someone printed off a little UPS logo with a 5 on it and my name and all that, then usud double sided tape to attach it to a plastic thing. It's like a clear plastic block and the piece of paper is in the middle of the block- it's held together by magnets in each corner. I guess it's supposed to look fancy. I saw it, laughed at it, then wondered why I now have to have yet another piece of junk that, being the packrat that I am, I will never throw away but never do anything with either. Time to find a box or closet to shove it in. 3. My cousin emailed me asking if I could still watch her dog on the weekend of the 11th. Ummm...I never said that I would in the first place. We never discussed it, she never asked me. I don't know if she's confusing me with someone else or if it's a sneaky wasy to get me to say yes. I love her dog, but watching him is a huge pain because I can't have him in my apartment and basically my entire weekend ends up revolving around him. I have to go over there late to let him out, get up super early to let him out, etc. No- not on one of the few last nice (most likely) weekends of the year.
