1. Escapee-we should! That would be fun! 2. I was going to that darn casino with a girlfriend of mine about twice a month. 3. In total, after five visits, we had won over $700! 4. Then we started to lose and we haven't been back! LOl 5. It would be neat and we really don't live all that far from one another at all. 6. Anyway, I made Pecan-Crusted Salmon for dinner and my entire house reaks of fish 7. It is driving me crazy 8. I think I have lit every single scented candle I have too!

1. To all my factoider friends, even the lurking ones, thanks, your support means so much! 2. This week has been crazy. Yesterday was a Professional Development Day. I had to make 3 presentations. As usual, burnt the midnight oil the night before getting ready. 3. Hubby and I had a lovely dinner out on Monday with our former pastor and his wife. This was the night I lost my credit card, cancelled it, only to find out the next day that the bank had it and hadn't given it back to me. 4. We have been busy picking out hardwood flooring and tile for the renovations. Believe it or not, hubby and I have managed to agree with little or no discussion....hooray! 5. Our friend has arrived safely home for a visit from his military tour of Afghanistan. We are truly blessed to have men like him as peacekeepers. His stories remind us that we are also blessed to live in a wonderful country like Canada. 6. Hubby and I have bought a new business. We are now going to be "line painters extrodinaire". We no nothing about line painting but are both enthusiastic. We could sure use some prayers. Otherwise don't plan to drive on roads in north eastern Ontario in the near future. We are both excited. I am so proud of my hubby and his entrepeneurial skills. 7. Boys are having sleepovers this weekend to accomodate their need to see the new Star Wars movie. They are anxious to stand in line, because "don't you know Mom, that's half the fun" 8. We spent last evening putting together end tables for our new family room. They look great and did not require the use of any power tools. 9. This weekend the new staircase and handrails go in. It is wonderful to see some things getting accomplished. I love supervising! 10. This is a long weekend in Canada. I am so looking forward to having an extra day of fun with my family. It also means a short work week next week. Can't beat that!!!!!!!! Have a wonderful weekend. Fondly Wappy

1. Hi factoiders! Another day of funfilled activity in store for me... we have to go (AGAIN) to the home improvement store to try and get the right door handles again. Sheesh! Are the doors right handed or left handed?? Ya got me! Hubby and I looked at them, and came to a different conclusion! One of us is dyslexic, that's for sure!!

1. On Monday on Letterman, I will be involved in a segment/stunt that involves the Mythbusters. (I will most likely not be on camera.) 2. Please everyone wish us luck that it all turns out OK. I could use good thoughts (the internal crossing-the-fingers kind)!

1. Yankee - I LOVE the Mythbusters!!!! I will be watching Letterman for sure! Hope to see you... 2. I got some great news this morning (at least to me)...my bridesmaids' dresses are in!!! Yay! Everyone is at work or not at home so I have no one to share the news with - forgive me. 3. The color we ordered is called "expresso", a very dark, rich brown. The sample dress we tried on was in baby blue, so I'm definitely interested to see how different they look. 4. As of Sunday the 22nd, it will be 5 months until my wedding!!! I'm excited and stressed at the same time.

Good luck Yankee! 1. My Bob has been informed that his 3 week job will consist of 7 12 hour days instead of 6 11's. I don't know how anyone can do that. On top of that, his commute is 1.5 hours each way. 2. Since he's driving by my house 2 times a day, I might be able to see him occasionally during that time. He did come and see me Wednesday night and took me to dinner before heading home across the border to Oregon. 3. I spent Wednesday sewing a cook's apron for Bob for his birthday on the 29th. I'll be making matching pot holders too. He loves to cook, but found it hazardous one day while cooking in the buff! Hahahaaa. Men! what is it about them that they love go around the house wearing nothing but their birthday suits? 4. I've been doing a lot of practice drawing lately, and am getting quite good at drawing flames. I am still planning on painting a fireball for Bob, but not sure if I'm going to do it on a rock or on canvas. Mom says I'm too particular when it comes to my artwork. I just can't help it. 5. Today is errands and grocery shopping day, and maybe I'll find something fun to do too! Happy Friday everyone! *Wappy, wonderful news about you and hubby on your new business venture. Best wishes to you both on it's success!

1. Froggie, great news about your bridesmaids dresses!! I just can sense your excitement and you gave me an opportunity to walk down memory lane about my own bridesmaid dresses moment...sniffle. 2. I can't believe you're getting married in 5 months!! Take deep breaths!! 3. Yankee, I'll be watching Letterman on Monday night for Mythbusters!! 4. Cher, I hope all will go well with you at the doctors. I'm like you, I'm at an age where little medical moments sneak up on me too. Thankfully, I'm healthy overall and keeping my fingers crosses all the time...lol! 5. Wappy, I'll be keeping positive thoughts and saying prayers for future successes for you and your family! 6. To all those I couldn't fit into my 6 facts this morning - have a great Friday and know that I care about all of you in this thread!! I love this thread, it's my very favorite. I'm pretty certain the regulars already know this fact about me, however, I can't express it enough!! 6.1 I am going to TRY to see the new StarWars movie this weekend...wish me luck!!

1. Yay for Fridays even though I still have to go work at UPS. I wanted to call in, but the other guy who works in my area is out at least until Wednesday so I'm pretty sure I can't be spared. I'm so important. HA! Only because they're too lazy to get anyone else trained! (For my work area you have to do a 3 hour hazardous materials certification thing) 2. And you'd think that, having to be certified to work in that area, we would be considered "skilled" and get that extra $1/hr skill pay. Yeah, you'd think so, right? Nah. 3. Anyway, no big plans for the weekend. My mom and stepdad went to Iowa- my stepdad's mom passed away on Wednesday. She was 94 and it's been kind of a waiting game where they were afraid to go on long trips because they never knew if she'd have died by the time they got back. I'm not trying to sound insensitive or anything- but she's been ready to go for a long time, had cancer for quite awhile, and was just kind of in and out falling asleep last time they went to see her a few weeks ago. 4. I never met her, but she sure was a cute little lady in all the pictures I've seen 5. School was fun today, after the kids got done taking their tests, I was talking to some of them. They're sophmores now but a number of them I knew from when I student taught- I had them when they were in eighth grade. Kinda fun. 6. Tim has been on a salsa making kick lately and he makes GOOD salsa. The problem is he gets eally bad heartburn. Last night he was going on and on about how he used extra jalapeno this time and next time he should toss in some habernaro pepper too. Within two hours the poor guy was moaning in pain and actually threw up for quite awhile he had such bad heartburn. 7. I felt bad- there was nothing I could do for him, and on top of that it was 12:40 am when he was puking and I knew I had to be up at 6 for school so I wanted to go to bed but I felt soooo bad being all comfy in bed while he was so miserable. He managed to get up and go to work (after a little prodding) this morning. Usually he's up at about 6:45- today it was 7:00.

1. yay froggiegirl! so glad to hear about your dresses...i hope their as pretty as the blue ones were. 2. it has gotten hot and humid here...ok, well, not that hot, but it sure feels like it when it's humid. every year i wonder how i tolerate the heat at work. it's ridiculous! i'm suprised no one has had a heat stroke yet. 3. kaili, hope tim is feeling better soon. 4. i'm wondering what in the hell a "myth buster" is? 5. TGIF....what a week! 6. josh gracin was in town giving a free concert last night...i didn't go, because i didn't have anyone that could go with. i heard he put on a great show, but i wasn't particularly wild about him on AI2. 7. i am with the minority, i'm sure, in wanting carrie underwood to win idol this year. that girl can SANG! she just needs to loosen up a bit, i think. 8. i'm with eggie, this is my favorite thread, and love reading about everyone's lives.

1. I was a huge Josh Gracin Fan, even though he wasn't the best singer on the show. But, at that time DH was just getting out of the marine corps, and it was just one other way to support our troops! 2. I want Carrie to win too! As she grows as a performer, she will loosen up, gain the attitude she needs to make that voice and look of hers go far. I think with the attitude she has, she'll never be <nd> like brit or christina (sorry mods). 3. DD got bit by fleas again. Poor kid, she loves that darn cat. 4. how do you get rid of fleas when Advanatage doesn't work? 5. Pest control to the rescue. They are coming to spray here soon! 6. Going to the strawberry festival this weekend. 7. Going Jet Skiing this weekend. 8. Have a good weekend all! Talk to yas on Monday!

8.3 escapee, try using 20 mule team borax (laundry detergent) in your carpet....sprinkle it in there and let it set a few hours, then vacuum it up. it eventually will work...it dries out the flea eggs so they cannot hatch...same with spiders (i especially love that part) ahem, juju, how did i do with the pitch?

Good morning 1. Holiday weekend in Canada and it is beautiful out. 2. This weekend is traditionally rainy and cold so I will take the sun when I can get it. 3. Flooring done in barn and framers start next eek. Picture in my folder 4. Deck top is done..yipee, Have posted those pictures in my folder too. 5. Enjoyed a "brown pop" on the deck late yesterday afternoon. 6. For those that don't know what a "brown pop" is you have to go to the right now thread to read all about it. lol 7. the ground breaking for the above ground pool starts this afternoon and the installation begins on Tuesday. 8. I am so excited, I can hardly contain myself 9. DH is in the field planting the final field of soybeans. Then the planting will be all done. 10. We planted corn this year in April and now have the soybeans done here May 21. 1. The last 2 years we couldn't even get on the ground to plant anything until JUNE - so this is nice to have all the crops in before the end of May. 2. Suppose to rain late tomorrow so that will be good that it is all planted then it will get a good start. 3. Have to start planting the rest of my garden soon too. 4. Hope everyone has a great weekend and hope the Canadians that have Monday off enjoy that too. 5. Like my numbering system. Since I have a "stickhlers pass" for the year, I decided to use it again today

1. Found an outstanding charter airline out of Canada...they fly to warm places in the winter and mostly Europe in the summer. Anyone living in Canada or near the Canadian border (JUJU!!!) should check them out! www.airtransat.com I can't believe that I'm going high season, fairly last minute to Europe for $750! 2. I am leaving today for the first end of the roadtrip. Staying with cousin in Cincy suburb after I get my new license plates and finish editing a thesis and , and and... 3. I'm wondering if I'll ever get out of my house. 4. My bank account is VERY low. I'm really afraid that I will have too much month at the end of my money. I really hate putting groceries and such on my credit card, but that's what I'm doing. 5. Have I mentioned that I really hate getting paid just once per month? Can't wait to see June 1!!! 6. I have no clue how many to post, but I'll stop at 6 since Skootz had 10 + 5! (got the rest of the summer planned...see the road trips thread!)

1. Happy Saturday morning TVCH'ers! 2. It is sunny and beautiful here in Northern California! Just the way I like it! 3. Today the boys have a birthday party at our local ice skating rink. It will be the first time on ice skates for both of them. Should be fun! 4. I started Adkins ... again. Just want to drop a size or two. I am determined because I've met someone who's interested in spending the 4th of July with me. 5. Whoo hoo!!! This is exciting! 6. I don't know anything about "brown pop" but I do know that the hills are starting to turn brown here in Northern California. 7. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

1. I noticed they were starting to turn brown here in So Cal too, Vacanick. 2. Got up early this morning and got both kids dressed for baseball. Caleb had make up picture day from when he was sick at 9am. 3. Ran over to the park thinking it'd take a while and we could just go straight to Kota's game at 1130 (usually pictures take hours!) Not this time, there was no one in front of us so it only took 15 minutes. We have another hour before we have to be back there for Kota's game. 4. It is absolutely gorgeous here today. It's going to be hot later (yesterday it got to 96) but for now at least it's very nice. 5. Darren has worked something like 64 hours this week already and is back today for another 8. He'll get off in time to see the last half of Dakota's game and then he'll go help his step dad move furniture into their new house. Afterwards he has to come home and get the swamp cooler working. LOL, I'm starting to feel a little guilty sitting here enjoying the nice morning! 6. We have three weeks of school left. Oh boy! My sister is in the process of getting my niece transfered to our school (hopefully!) There have been a lot of days I've had to watch her and when that happens she has to go on independent study because I can't pick her up across town and make it back in time to pick my kids up. Having her at the same school will help tremendously! Besides which sis wants to go back to work eventually and I'll be watching the girls for her. Keep your fingers crossed all school has room for her! 7. Caleb's birthday is a week from today. We're going to invite family and friends over for cake and ice cream, but no real organized party. When we asked him where he wanted to go for his birthday he said Disneyland, knowing we usually go around Christmas. Little does he know we'll be getting our fun day tickets sometime in June. I've got to see if my nephews are available to go with us. 8. Kota's driving me batty, lol...is it time to go yet, is it time to go yet? She's a little excited about her game today. She decided earlier she was going to slide into home, cuz ya know it's not a good game unless she comes home covered in grass and dirt stains, lol.

9. Am back to post because I promised Egbok I would - but not agreeing to or denying any statements about favorites... 8. Apologizing for being so quick to run off the other night. I think I was just more stressed than I realized and let something to get to me that happened somewhere else. 7. Am glad the semester is over, but have another one starting on June 6. 6. My car is giving me trouble, but the problem is under warranty, so should be fixed on Monday. 5. I need to clean house in a big way. I can walk through, but the dust on the furniture is sure getting thick. I can't be sure, but I also think something may be growing behind the couch! 4. Am facing 44th birthday next week and starting to actually feel old...this is a first for me. Maybe it's all the studying - or all the young people that are in my classes... 3. Thanking everyone for the invite and encouragement to post. I really appreciate the kindness. 2. Getting ready to go to bed... 1. Wondering how all the schticklers are going to handle the way my post is numbered...breathe, people, breathe! LOL

1. lol, cymipod...you have the hang of it....did you know that rules are made to be broken? 2. i just woke up less than an hour ago! way too late to wake up, but i stayed up til 2 am watching some tv movie after snl...it was about an abusive teenager....delta burke played the mother. it was called dangerous child. 3. lola had her final round of shots at the vet yesterday! she got her little rabies tag and everything. she now weighs 3lbs and 0.06 ozs (not 6 ozs, i always have a hard time explaining that!) so we'll just say 3lbs. she really yelped at one of the shots...ouchie! 4. they told me at the vet, that lola's sister, foxy, is very withdrawn and bashful when she is there...that shocked me, because they are very rowdy when i'm at my sister's house. lola loves everyone and any kind of attention...i think it is because she gets to go places a lot and is used to riding in the car and being around strangers...and my sister doesn't take foxy many places. 5. i looked at those original pics of lola as a puppy and it is so weird to see how much she's changed! she's looking more like a little dog chi than a puppy, her face has really filled out. i'll have to post a comparison sometime in the dogs thread..it's so funny! 6. i got to do a little bit of shopping yesterday, too...since the vet said she'd be sleepy. i haven't got to do much shopping since i've had her, since she's such a crybaby in the past....and i don't want to be evicted, but she has improved like 99%! 7. i bought this really cute shirt that says "RODEO" on it. it's one of those that is decorated with rhinestones on the letters and has old-fashioned looking people on them....it's really cute...and it was the only one and happended to be my size, AND was on sale...i just had to buy it...i need more going out clothes anyway. 8. i highlighted my hair last week. i had it a very dark blonde color...almost brown, that was actually just a "stain". it never really washed out...i looked in the mirror one night and didn't recognize myself without any light blonde, so i highlighted it....it's much more me 9. today is laundry day...blech.....i should get off my butt and start sorting...it wouldn't be so bad if i didn't have to go to my mom's to do it...it's a hassle. i have a washer and dryer setting in her garage with no way to get them here...my brother in law was supposed to do that. oh well, hopefully soon! 10. i hope everyone has a great remainder of the weekend!
