1. It is 10 minutes til 3 am and I am still awake. My sleep schedule has been horrible the last couple of weeks. My kidlets will be up by 7am, excited about Easter and begging to go to my sisters for the family get together. I'm so going to be hurting, lol. 2. In about 9 hours we have to be at my sisters. Brothers, sisters, parents, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends will all be there. Everyone who brings kids brings a dozen easter eggs, plus some cash for the little plastic eggs. Last year they had 170 eggs to find. It's going to be a mad house, lol. 3. Dakota, who usually gets sick for most holidays and was sick last Easter and missed the family get together, climbed into bed tonight half asleep and said, "I'm not sick yet mommy!" Keep your fingers crossed she's still healthy in the morning...poor kid was devestated last year when she had to stay home and miss out on the fun. 3.5 Happy Easter to all my TVCH friends, and for those who don't celebrate it, Happy Spring!

1. happy easter, factoiders! 2. yesterday was a productive day! i colored my hair...a dark blonde...i just used a deposit-only color because it was so over-processed, i didn't think it could handle any bleaching...lol, i guess it looks ok. also took lola for her second round of shots....she now weighs 2.01 pounds! she's a big 'un. 3. next we had a little family get together with my grandparents....at a convenience store where they serve food. (no joke). i'd never been there, but the food was excellent! after that i went and bought my mom a b-day present...she turned 49 yesterday. she liked the present! yay! 4. to end a good day on an even better note, i got an email yesterday, saying that my name had been drawn for a meet and greet with kelly clarkson next weekend (that i had applied for) in st louis at the FREE concert she is performing in! OMG! you guys know i'm a big dork when it comes to her...she's my favorite female performer! i can't believe it! guess it paid off joining the fan club! i wasn't even sure if i was going or not....i guess i will be! LOL! woo hoo! 4.3 i forgot to mention that i broke down and bought a 'puter on friday...i ordered it from a place that refurbishes them...i still have to buy a monitor and keyboard...my sister is hooking me up with where to find cheap ones. lol HAPPY EASTER! (again}

1. Happy Easter 2. My wife is making me dress up for church today. 3. I was gonna wear my black jeans and a nice shirt. I'm in the shower and I hear, "I'm gonna pick out something for you to wear." 4. I get out of the shower and I find khaki's on the bed. I hate khaki's. 5. At least the girls get to wear their new Easter Dresses. They're all excited about wearing there new dresses and new shoes. Wish I got excited about khaki's.

1. HAPPY EASTER!!!!! 2. We're spending the day at my brother's today. Menu includes barbeque and I'm not allowed to bring anything, lol. Gotta love family who knows I can't cook. 3. It was parent-teacher conference this past week. Son had 3 A's and 1 B in Geometry. Seems no one made an A in geometry and son had the highest average B. I was assured he should finish with an A for the semester 4. We also found out son placed 4th in State at the FBLA conference. Woohoo! No one from the high school has placed in state for quite awhile, so the teacher was really excited. 5. Some of my friends who live out of state are in for the holiday, so we'll be getting together tonight for cocktails. 6. It will be a killer week. Special events on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Think I'll be sleeping all day next Sunday.

1. Happy Easter!! 2. We're spending the day with my dad. He's making the ham, I'm bringing deviled eggs. The boys colored Easter eggs yesterday. 3. We'll spend the day together, eating and watching movies. 4. My pink eye has cleared up ... so not fun. I still have a cold but no excuse not to go back to work tomorrow. 5. Yuck ... why am I thinking of work. I haven't been there in a week. So nice. 6. My son is going to Seattle with his dad for Spring break in a couple of weeks. They are going to tour the Boeing plant ~ my son will love it! 7. Nick, what a good guy you are ... put on your khaki's and go to church with your family. I hope you can post pictures of your girls in their Easter dresses.

1. Happy Easter TVCH!! 2. I am over here in Victoria this morning. I was GOING to leave last night, but my bf was gone most of the day at his rugby game, that I just couldn't leave earlier than absolutely necessary. 3. I have to get showered and ready, and take the 11am bus to catch the 1pm ferry. Ugh. Then, it's STRAIGHT from the Vancouver side of the ferry to WORK! Ack. It's gonna be a lonnnng evening. The 6 hour travel is bad enough, and even though you're technically not doing anything while travelling, it's still tiring for some reason. 4. The ferry I am taking at 1pm is the newly renovated ferry, that is way larger than the other scummy ferries they usually run. It has a way nicer cafeteria, more lounges, a kids area (that I know to avoid), better softer more comfortable seats, and apparently there is a new "lounge" that you have to pay a cover charge to get into, and it has big screen TV's and PEACE AND QUIET!!! Woo hoo! It's 7 bucks to get in, but to avoid grumpy parents and their restless travelling children, it seems like a small price to pay. 5. Even though I booked this weekend off, we are only a few weeks away from our summer "cattle call" hiring of 25 new servers for the summer, so we are short-staffed right now, and I had to cut my trip short. 6. Luckily, when my manager asked if I could PUH-LEASSSE work Sunday, I said I would like to sleep in Victoria Saturday night, to which she said OK. My main motivation was to avoid our annual "Easter Buffet" where every rich snotty family brings their annoying children and old parents and grandparents. As a server, it ruins the entire shift. And we advertised a "visit from the Easter Bunny", so you KNOW there are tons of little brats there right now. And the charge is only 1 dollar per year of age per kid. So the "average guest check" today is nothing worth going in to work for. So my main happiness comes from not working this morning. I work tonight; hopefully it will not be that busy, as most don't go out Easter night, and most don't have tomorrow off (EXCEPT ME!!! ) 7. Sleep tonight, return for what I think will be a slow day shift tomorrow morning. Then tomorrow night I need to study study study for my potential make-up French exam Tuesday. 8. I can't figure out why I dislike STRANGERS' children so much, yet I almost always fall in love with my friends' kids. Hmmm...something to ponder. At least when I despise strange children, I forget how bad I feel about not having a husband and kids by my age!! LOL

Edit Mode: I posted 10 facts as well....enjoy! 1. Happy Spring! ~ Happy Easter! 2. I woke up at 5:30am.....and I felt the need to prepare myself to watch the sunrise and give my word of thanks for all that I hold dear in this life and to celebrate a year of being healthy. 3. As I sat in our large pretty backyard at the crack of dawn, I was awe inspired by the quiet beauty that surrounded me. 4. I watched the birds and could tell which ones were pairs/mates - watching over each other. 5. I watched the morning sky turn from hues of soft orange, yellows, golds, to a bright lovely blue sky filled with the warm sun. 6. I then walked around and smelled my roses and looked at the greenery surrounding me. 7. I was at total peace and I felt so grateful for being in this place and time to be able to give a word of thanks. 8. Egbob and I are on our way to spend the afternoon with his parents and the extended family. 9. I made a carrot salad to share with everyone. 10. DS#2 and his lovely girlfriend are currently driving in from San Luis Obispo. DD is on her way in as well from another direction. It'll be so great to see two of my three kidlets again. Easter blessings to you and your loved ones.

I made sure to tell her about Ham (and I know she wont eat it, but lots of different foods to fill up on...) Sweet Potatoes (w/ Marshmellows!) Cole Slaw, Wild Rice Salad, Deviled Eggs (she'd never heard nor tasted this delicacy!! ) AuGratin Potatoes, and of course DESSERTS!! Cherry Pie, Chocolate Pie, Angel Food Cake, with Strawberries!!

1. Well the start of something new is slowing coming to an end this blessed Easter Day. I am so very grateful for the spiritual renewal of this special day and as well the celebration that comes with the first signs of Spring. 2. Our day started off with the annual Easter Egg Hunt. I'm still not sure who had more fun the hunters or the one lone Easter Bunny who even looks the part more and more every year!!! 3. I welcomed my extended family for dinner. I love cooking for others and especially like how appreciated it is by my dear mother who has spent a lifetime preparing meals. I am glad to be able to watch her sit back, relax and enjoy, especially when apparently it was all cooked exactly the way she would have done it!!!! 4. Tomorrow is a holiday for me. And I have no plans....gosh I love days like that. Fondly Wappy

1. At 8am, Darren came and woke me up. The kids had just woken up and were waiting to go out and see their Easter baskets. I climbed out of bed grabbing my sinus pills, mt. dew, and camera, lol. 2. We spent the morning playing games with the kids, then got everyone showered and dressed and headed to my sisters. 3. Grandma Denise (my bil's mother) made all the kids Easter bags, they got candy and squirt guns. The kids had so much fun running around squirting each other. This afternoon the weather was great, about 75 degrees, no wind, very decent shorts weather. For the early afternoon, it was very nice out! (I should mention now, it is freezing outside and about 5pm or so the wind started to really kick up. All of my windows are rattling now!) 4. The kids had a blast hunting Easter eggs. Caleb found the gold egg and collected $9. Dakota also picked up a plastic egg that had $3 in it. She was so excited, since missing last years egg hunt. She managed to find 21 eggs today. 5. Today was fabulous, lots of friends and family and everyone having a good time. After running around with squirt guns, the egg hunt, Easter dinner, and time in a bounce house the kids were exhausted. After chasing them around all day, us adults were exhausted, lol. Dakota towards the end of the day summed up how everyone was feeling.

1. I love reading about everyone's Easter. It was just another day for us. I miss having Easter with family. 2. It seems like I am falling apart. LOL First I broke my leg and now I have a horrible tooth ache and also I hear crickets 24/7. Now there is snow on the ground so there are no crickets. It is in my ears. Must be some kind of tinitis. I'll have it checked out when I go back to the ENT doctor whenever I am able to leave the house again. 3. Being so limited in mobility is driving me crazy and hubby says that's a short trip. Speaking of hubby....my house has gone to ruin while I've been laid up. 4. I dare him to ever again say what do you do while I'm at work. I pick up after him, that's what I do! LOL 5. TVCHers have the most beautiful children and grandchildren! YAAAAA for us! 6. Hopefully I only have a couple more weeks with the cast and then I assume I'll have to do some kind of physical therapy to get strength back in my leg. I can't wait!!! Happy Easter, Everyone!!

1. Cat is on my lap..... 2. There is a possum in my garage eating the cat food. 3. Well, the possum is really in the crawl space under the house. I scared it last night when it was eating the cat's food. 4. Had Easter with my folks, brother and his two kids. 5. For the first time in a long time no one cooked on Easter, and we went to the bowling alley "fine dining". Actually it's really good and is upstairs. We had a lovely view of the Illinois River. The food was great. I had "petit fours" for desert. 6. I didn't have any time off for Easter. But it was nice to NOT have a church job. The only thing I did extra was conduct an a cappella men's choir for Maundy Thursday. 7. Twinkie, I hope that you feel better soon.

Good morning all 1. Had a really nice day yesterday. 2. Had everyone up, did a easter egg hunt and in church at 8am. Then we went to dh's parents place for hot cross buns and coffee 3. Had a nice breakfast at home with family. 4. Afternoon went to my moms place and then we went to see my grandma (98) for a quick visit. 5. Back at my moms, my sister and her family showed up and then a call from my brother and they were on their way. 6. My mom was really happy as what looked like a very small get together we had our entire family there except for my niece who was at her bf's place and my brother who is in Costa Rica (he did call around 8pm so we were all able to talk to him) 7. I had a ham that I bought the beginning of the week and it was a good size, but was not sure if it would feed all. I think we had loaves and fishes story yesterday as there is even enough left over for a meal tonight. Man it was yummy. 8. We didn't get home until 10:30 (kids did sleep on the way home {whew}) but it was a wonderful day and it was nice to see how happy my mom was that everyone was able to come for the day.

1. I haven't posted any facts in ages! 2. Hubby is getting a bit frustrated living in a dorm at 30 years old, but he is doing so well in his training. He comes home to visit next weekend the 7th. I then turn around and fly to Florida (we're meeting in Port Charlotte where my brother and SIL are living!) May 6th. 3. My parents are also coming in town next weekend (yay!). We are going to be doing some major landscaping and tree planting. We're also going to have a big cookout on Saturday night. 4. We are so excited about the whole weekend and have been researching trees, scrubs and design plans for 2 weeks. Even my parents are pretty excited about helping to spruce up the yard. It is kinda' a clean slate, except we do have the front yard flower bed already in place. 5. Next week is our accreditation site visit for our program. It is a huge deal - happens every 6 years - so work has been incredibly busy. 6. I also have some potentially good news coming my way at work for a promotion. But, I have to keep it quiet for a few more weeks until it is public news at work. With the cross over of my real life and TVCH life, I can't risk any students or anyone else reading about it here until it is announced officially. It has been in the works for over a month now and I'm brimming to tell it! LOL 7. I have been behind on doing a lot of things that I'd like to do, but I'm slowly working my way out of that hole. I have spent the last 2 weeks working fairly closely with a huge To-Do list and it is getting smaller! 8. I got some stuff in the mail Friday that needed to go out, but I have another round of things this week. I forgot a very good friend's birthday (ack!), I still need to review the wedding video for some editing things with Draheid and Jmm and my mom's birthday is this Wednesday...and.... 9. It never ends. Life is good!

1. Yippee for Spy...hope it comes through! 2. I spent most of the day calling references for a candidate. Also writing up why we don't want to hire a variety of candidates. DANG, it's hard to do when they are good, but someone else is just better. 3. Came home for a couple of hours before rehearsal tonight. Cat was surprised. 4. I am not a phone person. It was hard to be on the phone all day today. 5. I was double booked for most of the last two weeks. It was nice to only be single booked today. 6. My daffodils are in full bloom. There aren't too many of them, but they are pretty. 7. Went to the bookstore and got three books for $25! One on German grammar, one on my university and one on WWII. 8. I'm going to have a BBQ sandwich for supper. YUM! 9. It was warm and sunny today. YIPPEE!!! 10. I can't wait to open my pool....probably at the end of April or mid May! YIPPEE again!

1. Congratulations Nick, I am sure you are looking forward to spending more time with your family. 2. Well, hoping today will be a better one for us. I just had a complete meltdown yesterday. I then at supper time when the kids were eating, had dh come home and I went and walked around the burnt out barn (everything is all out now pretty well) I cried a lot but after being there and walking and looking at things, I did feel better and was able to come home and not be so sad and upset. I haven't had a day like that for a while.

1. Ah, Skootz, my little grasshopper, that was very, very wise. I am glad you regained your balance. 2. Watching the pictures from the earthquake-ravaged part of Indonesia this morning and can't help but be overwhelmed by the beauty of the place-- even in the midst of the disaster. 3. Tomorrow our weather is due to hit a high of 58 for 2005. Going to take advantage of the nice day and give Herc a B-A-T-H!

1. My son, the soccer player, hates to run just to be running. He doesn't mind running during soccer, but just to run .. uh uh. 2. There are a couple of football players that challenged him to race because the soccer coach put in the paper that he was the fastest kid on the team. 3. My son has never run track, because, like I said above, he hates running. So he goes to track practice yesterday just to race those kids (who are on the track team). 4. The track kids barely beat him in the shortest sprints because my son has never used blocks before, but after that he dusted them. Of course now the track coach wants my son to run the quarter mile and is putting on the pressure. I think it's funny because I've been trying to get him to run track for years.

My sleep gas tank is on empty today cause of a meeting that I didn't know I had to goto. 4. I really can't think of any other facts about me that I haven't listed. :o) heheh. 5. This is the last time I'll do a facts or two about you post. ;o)
