1. I went into work for 4 hours this morning. I was tired. 2. After the meetings at work, I changed into playclothes and went to do some major grocery shopping. I was soooo tired. 3. After I got home from the major grocery shopping and unpacking and putting away all the groceries, I took a 4 hour nap!! 4. Did I mention that Egbob was up in the local mountains volunteering his brute strength at our church camp?? He just called and he's down from the mountains and on the freeway now...he'll be home around 9:30pm 5. I'm going to finish lurking on the board, do some laundry, eat a salad and watch some TV.

1. I didn't get much done today. 2. Darren is sick. Sick enough he took the day off from work, which he never does! 3. I did take Caleb over to pick up his new glasses. They look good on him. Also found out we have 3 months to change the prescription instead of the one we were previously told. 4. We're in an experimentation phase with him. I hate it, but I see the importance of it too. He's been complaining of headaches for a little over a month. The eye dr thinks they are caused by the strain of switching from farsighted to nearsighted vision. So, he cut Caleb's prescription in half. The experimentation comes in because his tests and eyes show he still needs the stronger prescription. Eye dr is hoping that by cutting down the prescription, he'll have less strain and no headaches. But, there's a concern that he won't be able to see as well. 5. All of this made perfect sense when he explained it to me. For the next two weeks, we will be watching him for signs of headaches, and for signs of poorer vision. We may have to change back to the old prescription and change the lenses in his new glasses. 6. The only thing I know right now is I hate his headaches. I feel so useless and I hate that he has to suffer with them, so I'm willing to try anything that might work. On the plus side, today he wore his new glasses all day. It was the first day in a long time he hasn't complained about a headache. As far as I can tell, he is also seeing fairly well. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, but after one day it is looking promising.

1. I took dd to the Beads and Treasures store here in town and bought $36 in beads and supplies for various necklaces and bracelets she is going to make for Christmas gifts. 2. It kept her busy for most of the day 3. We also went to lunch at a old style diner that had jukeboxes at each table 4. It was a lot of fun-we had burgers and shakes and rocked out to tunes like "Yakatey Yak" she thought it was silly 5. I am over at my brothers house now watching my lil nephew for the night while dear brother parties like a rock star-I don't mind though-the kids are so much fun 6. Oh-I also took dd to get her Halloween costume (I know early early early!) She is going to be "Vampira' this year-complete with fake teeth and blood-a far cry from her usual costume of butterfly,fairy and princess 7. I am already at 7 facts and I still had more to say! Guess I will have to come back later!

1. I love all the people who continue to visit me in my folder even though I haven't had much time lately to reply. I hope I get some time soon to start to let them know how much I smile when I read the messages each day! 2. My writing projects went well and I got some excellent feedback. Two of the 5 were accepted with no changes. One hasn't been reviewed yet. The other two required very minor changes, which are complete. I also have to run to Staples tomorrow and fax the reviewer the pages of the sources I used for the informational ones--so they can verify I didn't plargiarize anything. (Course not.) 3. My son Matt, the one who lives in Pensacola, with his friend and his friend's wife and baby, called me the other day. He and his friend accepted his employer's offer to go to Illinois to work at their other location. 4. The company made reservations for them all (not sure how many) for rooms at a local Holiday Inn there. And then the company drove them there in a van. Holiday Inn fouled up my son's reservation, and, by default, he got a suite!! He is getting $50 a day for personal expenses--in addition to his wages--and he is doing overtime, so is getting paid that extra, as well. Personally, I think he is having fun. He did say the (PC Technical help) company was frantic to have the employees tackle the 20,000 customer voicemail messages they needed to return. 5. His friend's wife opted to stay in Pensacola and go back to work at her job there. She left her toddler with her mom, however, because of the unsanitary water issues. Turns out they need a new roof after all and have a $1600 deductible. Ack. 6. Due to my husband's probable need for another (minor) surgery, it appears my plans to go to my first TVCH gathering are in real jeopardy. Waaah. If the surgery is scheduled quickly (as was suggested by the surgeon last week), there is no chance we will consider going anywhere. And that means we will have let someone down here with respect to offering transportation for a leg of their journey. I feel particularly terrible about that. 7. I feel terrible, also, for the folks from FL with this latest hurricane. Hoping Twiggy checks in soon. I thought I heard something about Treasure Island, where I believe she is located. 8. My dd, Lauren (aka Loupup), started her new job on Tuesday, FINALLY! I am so relieved--for her well being as well as for our pocketbook!! 8.1 Ok, Silly, take it!!

1. I waiting for my son to come home from visitation with his dad. I hate waiting. He's usually late and I'm usually going out of my mind. I'll be fine as soon as he's home. But while I'm waiting, I'm not so happy!

1. Welcome Nickovtyme to the fact thread. 2. Since I was recently new to this thread too, I'll let you know how it works. 3. Members document facts starting at 1 and going to 10. 4. So since you documented 7 facts, then it is my turn to do 8. 5. We try to stay in numerical order. 6. There are members called "factoids" who monitor this thread. 7. I hope I explained it clearly. 8. My son is home from visitation - the world is right again!

((OIC...my bad. I read the title of the folder and thought it was about stating obscure facts about yourself. I didn't realize how it was set up. I see now...in the future I will do better! I promise. Didn't mean to jump in and mess it all up. Sahree! ))

1. Nickovtyme, welcome to the Facts Thread!! It's great having a new FACTOIDER join us!! 2. I enjoyed learning some facts about you and your family....plus I remember seeing the pics you posted somewhere on the board of your two adorable little girls...such sweeties! 3. Whew!! I'm so pleased to see that Vacanick 'splained the FACTOID rules to you...as landi said, there are some schticklers around this place........ <cough, cough> 4. I'm also glad that Vaca's son came home because I can see how happy that makes her. 5. Today I started re-organizing my spring/summer clothes and replacing them with my fall/winter clothes. 6. I don't have enough drawer or closet space for the four seasons and Egbob refuses to move out of our room so that I can have it ALL!! Muahahahahaha!!! 7. Well after I re-organized the clothes, I started tearing apart my nightstand area and e-gads!!....you should have seen the major dust bunnies hiding in that area!! 8. So out came the vacuum cleaner with all the little tool attachments and away I went....sucked up all them there little and not so little dust bunnies!! 9. Now it's time to get to bed so that I can go to work in the morning in a new fall outfit!

Dang, 10... 1. I am tired after driving 14 hours home from Spy's! Ok, 14.5, but I slept in a Spa parking lot for 30 minutes. 2. I now know what cotton plants look like. Close up. 3. Had a couple of Glenn''s yummy margarita's at Spy's party. 4. The cotton field had them the next morning. 5. Got out of a speeding ticket on the way home. 6. Took the scenic route....through a BUNCH of piddly squat small towns that had meaning for me. 7. I have discovered that Southern Missouri is even more remote and twistier in the road department than Pennsylvania. 8. Discovered that when you are talking on your cell phone and you aren't by a tower, you lose your connection! 9. Had a great time at Spy's party! I'll post more about that and the cotton and the speeding ticket fiasco in the road trip thread after I have gotten some sleep. 10. Did I mention that I'm tired???

1. Hmmm, thinking Maggie May's hair coloring and style might be a good change for me! Hee hee. She is adorable, Vacanick. 2. I tackled my 'second bedroom/office' over the weekend and got rid of tons of paper printouts of job-search related records that I decided I don't need any more. Came to 4 1/2-full bags of trash (paper is heavy)! 3. In preparing dinner last night, I used hot sausage (bought at a great meat market, and cooked at home) in my spaghetti sauce for the first time ever. (We are meatball fans.) I cheat and use Classico Spicy Red Pepper sauce (we love, love, love it) so this dinner is a snap. The change to sausage was wonderful; it was really delicious! We are spicy food lovers here, can you tell?
