1. Well, I went completely without email or computer yesterday. YIKES! ok, ok, I was on the road again, but REALLY.... 2. Took the computer to PADUCAH, Kentucky, yes, I said Kentucky, to get the data recovered and to see if they can salvage the machine from drowning. I'm not hopeful. The insurance company won't pay for it either. A POX on the insurance company! 3. My car is all torn apart and drying out at the service place. No estimated time of finish. I have already put 1000 miles on the rental car! YIKES! 4. Paducah has a LOVELY mural on their levee. Also a great BBQ place and a game shop downtown. The game guy sells boxes of cards for less than list, so I was happy to haul home a box of "Magic the Gathering: Champions of Kamagawa". That made my day....it had been really bad before that (losing the computer and all!) 5. Stopped at Metropolis to see the superman statue and the casino. Got a free coupon for the buffet at the casino, but I wasn't hungry so I'll eat there when I pick up my computer, hopefully next week. No luck at the slots. CAT story: She's been cuddly lately and has been sleeping in my padded lawn chair under the eve because it's been raining CONSTANTLY. Found out that SHE'S not the one who is eating a lot. I'm feeding a possum (or a no-hair-on-the-tail rat the size of the cat). Any advice on getting rid of a 'possum? I mean besides stewing it!! LOL!

1. oh dear God, i have been so busy, i didn't even get to check in here yesterday! 2. monday was my "annual exam" BLECH! the dr did give me a 3-month sample pack of seasonale. unfortunately, though, my RX plan doesn't cover non-generic meds at all, so if i choose to continue taking them, it will cost me $99 for 3 months worth....uhhhh, i dont' think so, seeing as my current pill is $23.64 for 3 months. wth? any pharmacists here? do we know if there is a generic form of seasonale yet? 3. i am almost done with my halloween costume skirt. it doesn't look too bad, if i do say so myself. all i have left to do for my costume is get a headband, and some sort of official looking patch to iron on my sweater vest. i haven't been able to find the latter of the 2. 4. i have been working 10 hour (on my feet) shifts all week, so that i can have friday off. that will be nice. but the long hours are killing me, and my feet! 5. i borrowed a cd from this lady i work with, and it sounds like square dance-type music with vulgar lyrics. i was LMAO all the way home listening to it. one of the songs is called "beer is good for you" roflmao! 6. last night around 7:40pm there was a plane crash right by our big airport. apparently the pilot was trying to land, and clipped some trees and crashed. there were only 3 passengers (private plane), and 2 of them were killed. very sad. the news said that these 3 men bought the plane together to travel around the country. so sad.

1, Congrats to Egbok on your new position and for getting what you asked for! 2. Also, thanks Egbok for the spelling of Ka-Ching. I always wondered how to spell that. I was telling my dh about ka-ching and he had no idea what I was talking about. Later on the week, he called it ching ching. 3, Glad Kota's fingers are better! 4. My house is too quiet without dh. He talks constantly. 5. I think that I know all of Jimmy Buffet's songs by heart working right by Margaritaville. 6. I met a very nice Scrapbook Lady from South America today. She said whatever she spends with me her money is 6 times more. YIKES! 7. I am so lucky that I get to hear the best stories about people's lives in my job.

1. Knightpatti, what do you do? 2. Yay, on Kota's fingers doing better! Brave little boo boo! 3. Hurrah, Eggieswan!! Knew they'd say yes to you to get you to say yes to them! Ka-Ching, ka-ching is a nice musical sound! 4. Yay, Marm on driving all that way and getting something out of it! 5. Telling Jbean she'd better take pictures and share! (Grace had asked for pix of people for a guessing thingee, btw). Also sharing that, typically, drug companies have a 7-year protection on a new drug before generics can be introduced. How about considering Depo-Provera or the like instead? 6. Sorry about the difficult times, Secretsmile. Hope your ds' girlfriend is okay. Wish like crazy your son wasn't shipping out to Iraq. Good luck on the impending engagement, however. 7. Had a bad nosebleed again yesterday. It is better for now--without any cauterization this time. Thank goodness. 8. Tomorrow I have a dental hygiene appt (to make up for the one I had to cancel when I got that yukky virus a bit ago). That's a GOOD thing!

1. Good morning everyone! 2. I woke up at 4:15 am worrying about my son's Halloween costume. So I got up. 3. My son is going to be a crossing guard but we can't find a hand held stop sign. So I'm making it myself. 4. Not too hard. I printed it out on the computer and filled in the color. Then at 4:15 am I cut out cardboard to stick it on. 5. But I forgot the handle. So I cut out more cardboard but the sign won't stay up straight it keeps flopping over. 6. Ugh! I'm so not crafty and this frustrates me. I would have rather paid for it. So I've put it aside for now. 7. We got a costume for our dog. She's going to be a bumble bee! 8. My father takes my son and nephew trick-or-treating while me, and my mom before last year, give out candy. My father say's he will not take a dog in a bumble bee costume. I love my dad and I know even though he's making a fuss about it ... the dog will go trick-or-treating with the boys! 9. Time to get ready for work. I hope everyone has a great Thursday!

1. We saw part of the eclipse but then had to come in and watch Lost. 2. What we saw of it was really neat. 3. Neat is probably not the word to use to describe an eclipse. 4. It's too early here for my mind to come up with big words!

1. I didn't forget about the eclipse, but the clouds obscured it from view. Shoot! 2. Could y'all wander over to my folder and vote in my hair poll? 3. We finished painting the living room last night! Looks great. Once we get the shoe moulding down I'll take pics & post the before's and after's. It's a little freaky how our livingroom sort of echoes now that the carpet is up. I'm hoping that it will go away when I put up the curtains. 4. My mouth hurts again. Shoot!

1. Vacanick, may I suggest pvc pipe for the handle of his sign? Stuff is cheap, you can get it at any home improvement store, and you can spray paint it. 2. Dakota's going to be a clown. ACK! ACK! Grandma had a clown suit and nothing would do for Kota except for that. 3. Caleb's going to be a zombie. Going to shred up some old clothes of hubby's for that. 4. I made both kids walking sticks (wasn't going to pay that much at the halloween store for something I could do better myself at home, lol.) We used pcv pipe and spray painted it. Topping Kota's is a very loud pumpkin shaped bell. Caleb's has the scream guys head, he want's to be scary. 5. I have a ton of housework to do today. I've been slacking bad on it lately, doing no more than what I have to do. Heck, I haven't even decorated for halloween yet!

1. Knightpatti! I love scrapbooking! I am a Scrapbook Geek. 2. I'm still working on the album for my parents' anniverary party that was this past summer, although I got a lot done this past Saturday for "Croptoberfest." 3. I'm a sticker monster. I love buying stickers! I have all kinds. 4. Last May I bought his Canadian Tourist sticker pack and so I have already decided that I am going to HAVE to visit someone in Canada just so I can use them in a layout. I'm thinking DJGirl... <hint, hint!> 5. I am working on a bulletin board that never got done earlier this year. I'm coloring letters for it. Thirty five years old and I still love to color! 6. Yay for Halloween! I am really looking forward to this weekend, not just for the camping trip, but also to go trick or treating with my nephew and nieces!

1. I had another 3 hour phone meeting with my wedding planner last night. We came up with the most wonderful plans for the reception tables! 2. I'm glad the wedding is only 3 months away because otherwise I don't think I could keep the details quiet!! I am having the most fun with the planning!! 3. I am going next week for a crap load of blood work. Blech. 4. It is raining here today and overcast. 5. I got up early to start my list of things to do. I got them all done and was at work by 11:15! 6. First thing this morning, I had to go to the Elections Office because I had screwed up my voter registration form. Got it fixed now and I will be able to vote! Yay! 7. This afternoon, I am going with my future MIL (his stepmom) to On the Border with a group of crazy women to drink margaritas. Tomorrow morning, I'm going with my MIL (his mom) to eat lunch and catch her up on wedding plans. Gotta keep the MIL in the loop....

1. WHEW! I thought that I had killed this thread yesterday! Glad to see everyone posting today. 2. Today I am hoping to finish closing my pool. I spent over an HOUR in the freezing water scooping leaves off the bottom. Today it is supposed to be almost 80, but rainy again, and I will try to get in to vacuum and get the lid on and drain the filters or whatever else you are supposed to do. GADS, I'm stupid about this! NEXT year, I will close the pool BEFORE the leaves fall! LOL! 3. I have been getting lots of email in German lately with details about my trip. I will be staying by the university, so I won't know where to buy groceries or do the internet. The train station is only two subway stops away, so I could always go there. 4. I'm doing an organ demo tomorrow for a class. Need to make a handout, but that will be fun. 5. I'm going to sit with the marching band on Saturday. The SIU Salukis are rated #1 in the US for Division 2 6. I'm hoping that my car will be finished soon, but I'm not holding my breath. 7. Gotta go, have a student here to sing kiddie songs! Can't believe I get paid to do kiddie songs all day! LOL! 8. Dang, Spy beat me to 7.....um....my cat matched the falling leaves, AND I caught her sitting on top of the fish pond peering in. I think that she was guilty of eating the koi. BLECH!

1. WooT! I get Nine! 2. I got hired for part time work today. Ok that's a fib, but I did go to an interview and they said they will use me...so, in essence, they hired me. 3. Anything to make ends meet. 4. Zoe is mending pretty well. Her scrapes on her nose are about to be healed up. 5. She has an Appointment with ENT next week to determine if she had broke her nose or not. 6. I don't think it's broke...but it will be tender for a few days. 7. Last night was the first time she had let me touch her nose. 8. SOX WIN! 9. YAY!

1. Daylight savings is this weekend, everyone! Don't forget to "Fall Back" 2. Why I Don't Like Daylight Davings By: kaili 3. I do not like Daylight Savings time because I have too many clocks. It takes too long to set them all. And it's inevitable that I will forget one. And that I'll forget how to set my car clock on the stereo. 4. I do not like Daylight Savings time because it gets dark way too early. It makes me really miss summer when it's still sunny and warm at 8 pm. Now, instead of being light when I leave work, it'll be dark when I'm leaving to go to work. The end. 5. They're showing Kerry with Bruce Springsteen on The Early Show. I love Bruce Springsteen. When I was a kid, I used to think that my dad was Tom Petty (because he's got blonde hair kind of cut like his and a longer shaped face) and that his best friend, Harry, was Bruce Springsteen (again, because he has some resemblence to him). 6. It's very foggy again today but supposed to be in the low 70s today. Yay. Last night it was a little bit foggy (more of a haze) and it started raining on my way home from work. The traffic was pretty heavy for 8:30 pm and I was stuck behind a car going 45 mph on the highway. While on both sides of me the cars were whizzing past. Not fun. Especially because Mr. 45 MPH also kept hitting the brakes like he wasn't already going too slow and causing a road hazard. 7. I bought a new coffee grinder the other day because my old one broke. Not sure if I told you guys this yet and I know it's probably pretty darn interesting. Anyway, I love my new grinder. It's huge and it grinds the beans up fast and very fine. it's loud though. My old one I'd have to fill twice and hold for a long time- even then the beans would have big chunks. 8. I'm pretty motivated today. It's only 8 and I've already showered, watered all my plants, and wrote a few notes in folders here. I know lots of people have done a ton more by now, but usually when I don't have to work I don't really get moving until about 9 or 9:30. 9. I watched Cold Mountain last night. Let me re-phrase that. I started to at 10:30 pm and lasted about an hour before I fell asleep. Bad idea to watch long movies late at night. Worse idea to get pillows and a blanket and curl up on the couch to watch them. I'll finish today. 10. Ten! Yay! What are the chances someone already did ten while I've been doing my ten? Probably not that high. Okay, ready? My final fact: I have ten toes and ten fingers. Can ya believe it?!!?

1. Good morning everyone! 2. We'll see if I retain what little sanity I have left at the end of the day. 3. I have a job interview today at 4:00 pm. 4. It's for a part time job. 5. We really need the extra money. 6. I'm glad that Nick's Zoe is doing better. 7. Many of my students dressed up for Halloween today. 8. Some of the costumes are SO creative. 9. I'm dressed as our asst. principal. She loved my outfit. People get us confused anyway, so I thought I would actually "be" her today. 10. Have a great weekend!!!!!!
