1. I've got a cold. 2. I'm miserable - this is day three. 3. I had scheduled yesterday and today off to burn up vacation days that i'm in danger of losing at the end of march if I don't take them. 4. This isn't how I envisioned spending my days off. 5. but at least I can lay around and rest up. 6. except I keep doing this feeling miserable but beng wide awake thing that is make my slightly insane. 7. My head feels like it is ready to explode. There isn't enough advil or tylenol in the world to kill this sucker. 8. what the heck am I doing up at this hour of the morning when I'm sick? wide awake. 8.1 off to get some hot tea or coffee going. 8.2 only bright side is my appetite is non existant right now for some reason.

Hope you're feeling better real soon, Puppylov. 1. For a couple of weeks now, I come to this thread, read it and then poise myself to write some facts, but then I hesitate, and I don't write, and I don't know why I'm feeling this way. 2. I'm trying real hard to push through the feelings of lethargy and complacency I've had lately. Where is my motivation? I think it is depression, and I don't like it one bit. 3. My facts today seem to be going towards the whining/complaining side today. 4. I have gained 14 lbs over the last few months, and I'm feeling disgusted with the extra fat padding my body. 5. There's a little thing that bothers me and I hope no one takes offense to my mentioning this, but I really don't like seeing family members being referred to dh, ds, dd, and so on. Why does that bother me so much? I apologize now to anyone who is offended by this comment. 6. I can now think of happier things to mention, one of them being that I have a wonderful man in my life who I'm crazy about. His name is Bob, and he is so awesome. We met on Thanksgiving and I'm so thankful for having him be a part of my life. 7. One of my favorite shows is Medium. I'm also enjoying AI very much and am anticipating hearing some awesome talent this year. Am I the only one who thinks this years contestants are by far the most talented than the previous years? 8. I learned how to play Bunko a month ago, and it is a really great game! 9. Here is a pic of me taken New Years Eve.

1. I'm listening to 50cent's new song 2. On the radio 3. I've come to realize I'm the only one in this small office that sings as they work 4. I should be embarrassed 5. I'm not cause it's totally dead here 6. These people need to learn how to smile instead of looking 7. Like they're riding a pole 8. I figure it's now my job to spread fun and lightness round here 9. I'm also the only one who says goodmorning and goodnight to everyone as I walk by their cubicles 10. TGIF <nodding head to 50>.

1. Mocha, your #9 fact is funny to me today, and I'll tell you why. This morning I went shopping and as I was walking out to my car (carrying my umbrella and pushing a shopping cart, lol) an older man was walking towards me. He was polite enough to see I was struggling and stepped out of my way. As he passed I wished him a good morning and smiled. He actually stopped, turned around and thanked me, saying he couldn't remember the last time a stranger had spoken good morning. I was begining to think I was strange. Have people really forgotten how to be polite?

1. I am feeling much, much better today! 2. Maybe it's because I didn't take any Vicodin all day . . . or maybe because I took the scissors to the part of the cast that was squeezing the life out of my left hand.) Aaaaah!

1. War this environment is totally different from the one I came from 2. But in talking with 2 other new people it's the same on their floor 3. Fortunately or unfortunately that's the floor we're moving to in March.

1. i always say good morning, and good evening. i wave and smile, and talk to people. i was always told: treat others as you would like to be treated. 2. i hate being in my office all by myself, all day long, every single friggen day! 3. i have lost my friday night movie buddy, my dd (dear daughter), ya know, has replaced me with this 6'3" polite gentleman who gave her a rose and chocolates for valentine's day. 4. i can't wait until i have more of my husband's truck paid off, so i can buy my car. i'm tired of people who point and laugh at my car. hey! the duct tape is holding things together pretty dang good!

1. I went to the ENT doc and found out I have several nodules on my thyroid and there is no way to find out if they are benign or malignant without surgery. So I am going for more test and then on a script to see if it reduces the nodules first. 2. Hubby got a call from our primary care doc that he has type 2 diabetes. He is going in Wed for a list of foods he can't have. Its a long list and doesn't at all just include sweets. 3. He is still considering have gastric bypass surgery and has a referral to the only doc in the area that does it. 4. I told him I want to go to every appt. with him. I want to know all of the risks because if anything ever happened to him I would probably die of a broken heart.

1. I am too tired!! My tanning business tripled overnight this past Monday so we have had a busy week. And it's not over for me cause I work tomorrow. 2. I made a good friend here at TVCH. We were really getting close but when my back went out, I couldn't stay in touch with her. I've wrote her several times now and she won't answer. 3. As far as I know she is not a member of TVCH anymore so I can't reach her. This makes me very sad. I hope she still lurks here and sees how much I love her and miss her. 4. There is nothing decent to eat in this house. I should have married a man that likes to cook cause I hate to cook. Don't mind the cleaning...just hate the cooking. 5. I got my toenails painted bright blue this time. I don't much care for it now. I think I'll go back to my hot pink next time.

1. Landi, as long as your car is running and getting you where you have to go, let them point and laugh. 2. I still can't get either of my back doors to open, lol, so the kids are now climbing over the seats to get back there. As long as it's still running, I love my car, LOL. 3. We bought the kids a new computer today. Love Best Buy sales. They're old computer was running like crud, it was time. 4. Caleb has a cold. Poor kid is miserable. He was sniffling and sneezing while we were shopping. By the time we got home, he was asleep in the car. 5. Kota lost a tooth last night. LOL, she's been driving me nuts about this tooth. It has been loose enough to come out the past few days, but she wouldn't touch it. When she'd eat, she'd chew her food on only one side of her mouth, lol. This morning she went in to brush her teeth, and came out hollering, "it's gone, it's gone!" I searched her bed, didn't find it, so figured she probably swallowed it. This evening we wrote a note to the tooth fairy, set it on her dresser, and when I was tucking her in bed, I reached down to grab her care bear and there was the tooth underneath it. 6. I want to repaint my kitchen. I'm really tired of it right now. But, before I do that, I need to get Caleb's done. I think in the next few weeks I'll take him over and let him pick out colors for it.

1. I'm going to attempt 7 facts. Hope I don't bore you. My OH (Other husband, um, I mean other half..lol) got a call today that we have been waiting for forever! 2. He finally got the call from the Shipyard for an interview for an apprenticeship. 3. It might make things hard since he is my caregiver. 4. BUT, the best possible scenario would be for him to get a graveyard shift position. I really hope there is such a thing. 5. Now I just have to convince OH that he can go back to working outside the house again. He's been doing e-bay to make some extra mula, but otherwise he became a mini-hermit after losing his job last year, and then taking care of me. 6. He needs to get out there again! (And besides when DS goes to college in Aug, we are going to be broker than broke...) 7. So please send out good vibes for us next week!! Thanks all..

1. Good vibes being sent to MGA! 2. Today is AUDITION day! Yippee! We get to meet the new students who want to get scholarships. I always like audition day. And I had 6 of the music ed students VOLUNTEER to give tours, man the info booth, help with parking, etc. 3. Yesterday, I dropped everything at work to let the Terminex man in. WHY don't they set up an appointment? Left the computer, coat, briefcase, etc. etc. 4. Had a LOVERLY lunch at home, watched a couple of TV movies, and did a little cleaning. Oh, yeah, and the cat took a nap on my lap. She has GOT to quit getting used to that. 5. I got in my car at about 6 to go back to the office to retrieve said "stuff" and to go to the premiere recital of a new faculty chamber group, and my phone rings. 6. It's one of our faculty member asking me if I know "denise" from "my undergrad institution"....why yes of course! Well they are having dinner and invite me over. I hadn't seen Denise in about 20 years, and it was GREAT to catch up! 7. The faculty recital was really fun, too! 8. It was a Great day! (Even if I forgot that I was supposed to have lunch with my mentor! ACHKKKK) I got all my travel reimbursements turned in and finished! WHEW!

They are performing "How to Eat Like a Child". 5. DS is off on a scout outing this weekend. 6. He is an FCE leader to little newbie scouts. 7. These kids are his sister's age 8. It's not making him more tolerant of his sister! LOL 9. We are going over to some friend's house for a pot luck dinner tonite.

1. i'm here by special request. ( granny) 2. today i'm going to see the musical mamma mia. it looks funny! hell, it better be for $40 per ticket for mezzanine seats. good lord, you'd think we lived in a big city or something. 3. i am not liking that on tuesdays and wednesdays all the tv shows that i like to watch are on at the same time. it gets me behind on them as i am always here in my free time, instead of watching recorded tv shows. ack! that being said, i gave up the OC to watch survivor this season. the OC just ain't doing it for me anymore. so at least thursdays are better now. (i know i have a rough life). 4. work was decent yesterday. we found that our year-end closing numbers were awesome, and we're getting a pretty decent bonus! this will be a good start to my savings account for the trip to hawaii i am wanting to take next year! yay! 5. i will also be putting my income tax refund money in savings for the above said trip, when i receive it. this will be the most money i've ever had in savings, lol. 6. i put lowlights in my hair last night, and it is DARK! not sure about how i feel about them. i hate when things don't go as planned. it's making me think maybe i need to get it cut again, too. lol. me and my hair. it's a never-ending battle. 7. i am doing the relay for life again this year with work. i believe i am being made "team captain" to find more people in the shop to particpate. this year alterego is doing it, too, along with another friend of ours, so it will be a lot of fun. it is also a couple of weeks later in the year this time, so maybe it won't be so flippin' cold! 8. i can't believe i got up at 7 am on a saturday! what the hell is wrong with me? 9. ack! 2 people beat me already? omg. i guess i'm not the only early riser today. 10. marm must get up at the same time as me...she beat me last saturday, too. have a great weekend everyone!

1) My life has been so crazy, all I've been able to do is lurk! But I've been keeping up on most of the happenings! 2) Kisses to Herkle and Nino -- sorry I haven't stopped by -- work work work! 3) Have a planter wart on the ball of my foot. Have had it frozen once and it still hurts like ******. 4) Kid and I are off to the mall for haircuts and nails (just me for the nails) Hope the foot holds up! Have a great day, all!

1. Howdy! 2. Has anybody else had the flu so bad this year that they thought they were gonna die? I've been in bed for three and a half days. Only got out of bed yesterday morning to go to the ER. I was feeling so bad that I literally thought I might have West Nile Virus or that bird flu going around in Asia and was scared to death. 3. The doctor calmed my nerves by telling me that it's probably just a mutated strain of Flu that is more resistant to the common drugs that we treat it with nowadays. (How Comforting.) 4. He did give me some stuff called "Tamiflu". It's not a cure, but it does make me feel less like crap than I did. 5. He also gave me some kick-butt cough syrup. Now my chest doesn't hurt quite as much when I cough. 5.1. Until next time...

1. i LOVED the musical! it was hilarious! 2. but, now i want to go buy an abba cd....dancing queen, young and sweet, only 17.... 3. the woman who played the mother was an understudy for this particular show, and she was (imho) the most talented singer in the bunch. 4. oh, and we weren't in the mezzanine, we were in the balcony! first row, nonetheless, so when we were trying to get through to our seats, i looked over the edge....BIG MISTAKE. i'm scared of heights in open areas like that. 5. at intermission i went to get a program because the lady somehow missed me when we came through, and some sodas. food and drinks aren't allowed inside the theater...oops, i had to sneak one in to my friend, because i couldn't get her attention to come out there and get it. that' me...always breaking the rules. oops. 6. my sister had called my cell phone while we were in the musical, so i called her back, and it turns out she got another chihuahua puppy today...this time a little girl....she is so sweet. they are so cute and sweet, but they pee on evreything! they say it can take up to 2 years to housebreak them....whoa, that makes me grateful for my pain in the butt cat! 7. the new puppy doesn't have a name yet...i'm thinking natasha, since the boy is named boris. the girl puppy is from the same parents as their little pedro was from. she looks just like he did when he was that young. 8. i'm thinking it's time for me to go to bed. i didn't sleep long enough last night.
