1. Well, I have my usual "I'm sick with jet lag" crap. I get really dehydrated on the plane no matter how much water I drink and how much I splash on my face.

2. Tried to eat breakfast and threw up.

3. The cleaning lady is here cleaning now.

4. I took another nap after breakfast and it is now noon.

5. I can't believe that I slept through church...that is one of my favorite things to do in Munich.

6. I think that my headache is going away, though.

7. I am going to try to go to two organ concerts today.

8. There were LOUD nasty boys from Great Briton on my floor last night. Someone called the hotel manager on them. I saw the manager and said that I didn't call but that I wanted to. I saw these VILE boys at breakfast and they are only junior high or high school age. If they pull that crap again, I will open the door and give it to them. I couldn't tell through my door if they were big or little, but they sounded like loud drunk college boys. I almost said something to their chaperones....also wanted to go up to "trevor" and ask him if he got his *&^% sucked last night since that was all that he could talk about. LOL!

8.1 DD woke up this morning with really sore stomach..taking her to see doctor this afternoon to make sure it is not just the flu. We have ruled out appendix as I can touch her stomach and she is not jumping out of the chair. Poor kid, only 3 1/2, I hate when our youngins are sick

8.2 It is dh birthday today, so we have planned on going to sugar bush for pancakes etc. and then have people here afterwards, so I guess I will eat at home before I leave to take DD to doctor and join them all at home afterwards.

1. Hi Everybody. It seems like there are so many facts that go by while I'm gone...its hard to keep up with everybody.

2. Hugs to those that need them; Kudos to those that earned them; Prayers for those in need and a smile for those that could use one.

3. I want to thank everybody for their prayers. Please keep them up as my wife and I are about to make a very big step of faith.

4. I know I've brushed on the fact that she's looking for a new job, but we've decided that she should go ahead and give her 2 weeks notice. As of now, she has nothing to fall back on and we are totally asking God to provide for us.

5. I do hope he provides quickly and we are trusting and hoping that not only will a new job come open, but it will be the perfect job for her. She loves working with children and has her degree in Psychology, (the big joke when we got married was that I was to be her Doctorate Thesis)

6. We can all use some help and I swallow my pride in asking for all of you to keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I try my best to pray for those that request them.

7. Tara seems to have recovered from her Surgery rather well. She no longer needs the pain meds and is eating really good. She's such a trooper.

8. I don't say it much, but TVClubhouse is one of my favorite places and I really like the people. I may post some crazy stuff sometimes and usually most all of it is in jest, but I really am glad that I found this place almost a year ago in July.

9. I know my time here has diminished quite a bit from when I first started, but I do lurk and post the occassional insight and I hope as things get better around here, I'll be able to jump back in the fray.

1) Prayers to all who are in need, and what the heck, to all who aren't.

2) Took a gaggle of girls to visit my daughter's college and to see her latest show.

3) I so enjoyed all the young people and was in awe of how Brianna's 3 room mates made her 3 friends from home and this old lady feel so welcome and comfortable.

4) This show was probably one of the best plays I've seen in years, it's hard to believe they were all college juniors.

5) I can't believe it myself but I managed to get a full, uninterrupted nights sleep in a college dorm apartment while the usual Friday night comings and goings were happening.

6) No matter how many times I visit her, or she comes home, it still gives me that wrenching feeling when I say goodbye.

7) I did post a picture of some of the girls in my folder, it was hard to catch the girls not in motion. But managed that shot as they were waiting for supper to finish cooking.

8) Even though we were there for the weekend, I didn't meet "Mr Dashing". My daughter assures me it wasn't intentional on his part......LOL!

9) I have to spend the next week getting ready for a full blast of young people since it's Spring Break and it sounds like many of the plans center around Tim's new TV and many trips to the video store.

10) I'm so thankful that my children have always chosen to spend Spring Break coming home and spending time with their family and friends.

1. I got my extraction appointment for my wisdom teeth tomorrow, and I have no family here, so I had to butter up a coworker to take me and wait for me tomorrow.

2. I am PETRIFIED. I'm such a sucky baby for pain. I wonder how stupid I am going to be after coming out of sedation. Hopefully I am at least entertaining for my coworker!!

1. Eeyores, will your dentist give you something for the nerves? When I was scheduled for my wisdom tooth extraction from hell (I had 2 and a half extra wisdom teeth, a couple of them shoved way up in my head) mine prescribed me a couple valium. One of those the night before, and one an hour or so before the appointment and he could have pulled out a chain saw, it wouldn't have phased me a bit.

2. So far today, my spring cleaning is going so so. I'm quite pleased with how much I have accomplished, and ready to scream over the dust and the dirt the wind is causing. I've completely finished the living room and all I have left in the kitchen is mopping the floor. I've even managed to get a couple loads of laundry done, though they are not yet folded and hung up.

3. Tomorrow I plan to tackle the den, the bathroom, and the hallway. Hopefully if the wind has died down I'll be able to clean the carpets in the living room and hallway! Wednesday I'll move on to the bedrooms. Thursday should be an easy day, and lots of playing with the kids, while Friday will be having my nieces over and working on some Easter crafts for the Easter baskets they'll make for parents and grandparents.

1. I finished painting walls in my computer room and hallway this weekend and did some painting on trim.

2. I pulled weeds this weekend out in my front yard, my darling son helped me some!

3. I just got back from lunch and am the only one in the office again out of 7 1/2 staff. Most of them are sick or out. I love being alone at the office!

4. Oregon is having some beautiful weather again today and I plan on going to aerobics tonight.

1. Wrote about my Munich adventures in the Road trip thread.

2. I am feeling much better!

3. I got a lot of work done today.

4. We to see the opera Carmen for only 6 Euros....standing room...but there were tons of seats. I'm guessing that the seat where I sat cost about 50 Euros!

5. I am hoping that the vile British boys are going home soon. I saw them at breakfast this morning, and hope to NOT see them tomorrow!

1. I have finished 2 modules of the course I am taking. I am so pleased because I thought it would amount to one a day. At this pace, I might even get to enjoy some of my March Break.

2. Final things to be completed on the bathroom actually make up a list of 15. I was surprised. However, hubby promised today's the day. I sure hope so.

3. I have searched and searched for the right print for the room. On the weekend I found a frame that happened to have the ideal picture in it as its advertisement. Hildy has nothing on me! Bought the frame. Took out the black and white picture advertisement, added some colour and perfect!!! I can hardly wait to put them up.

4. Boys are managing to keep busy without me driving them around. Yesterday they went toboganning, apparently conditions rocked! Today they are going to a free swim at the local pool.

5. I am heading out soon to quickly get some groceries and to take back some prints that didn't work in the bathroom.

6. THEN>....its hit the books again for me. Hope to chat with you all soon.

1. Can't wait to see Wappy's new bathroom!

2. Hmmmm Legal, I think that I need a trainer to workout. I'm sure that you wouldn't mind giving her up! LOL!

3. It is strong beer season here in Munich and I have not yet had a beer of any kind. Didn't have any the last time I was here either. WHAT is wrong with me??

4. Had a very incredible steak and grilled onion sandwich at my subway stop for supper tonight. This certainly beats the train station.

5. Went to another opera tonight. This one had an organ part in it. Very unusual.

6. I posted about my day in the road trips thread.

7. I am hoping that someone will spoil the Amazing Race tonight. I just can't stay up for the chatroom spoiling. It's 12:30 am and I need to go to bed.

8. I have a very comfy sofa in my room. Nice big workable desk, built-in twin bed with feather duvet, a nice clothes closet with shelves and a hanging rack. The bathroom has a GREAT shower, and of course a nice flushable toilet and big sink. That last part was just so Wappy isn't the only one in the thread posting about bathrooms!

Auf wiedersehen!

1. After taking a self imposed break from posting...I'm back!

2. I can't believe the incredible weather we have been having here in Oregon. Beautiful 70 degree weather...I love it!

3. I have been working on an old toy box that I had when I was little. I have cleaned it, sanded it, plugged holes and painted it dark blue. I have bought fabric that I am going to line it with and then store blankets in it. It looks great so far and has been a fun project.

4. I have also been doing so spring cleaning, organizing closets and getting rid of junk. It has been very cleansing for me!

5. I discovered Goodwill the other day. Sounds weird, but I had never been in one. I found some great stuff.

6. My favorite purchase was a night stand with 3 drawers. It is in perfect condition, looks like it has never been used...unfinished wood, it's beautiful. I am going to stain it a cherry. It was $12!

7. I also bought the kids a bunch of books...3 for $1, a candle holder, exercise video, wire hanging shelf/basket thing. I had such a good time there! I have to control myself from going everyday!

8. Spring break is next week and it looks like for the first time in about a month or more we might get rain. Of course.

9. I had a nice big salad for dinner. Know what that means? I get to eat ice cream while watching The Amazing Race! Yay!

1. hi jewels! glad you are back to posting. :-) yay for ice cream!

2. next week at this time, i'll be in nashville, probably still at the bellsouth acuff theater where nashville star is broadcast live each week...look for me in the audience. (yeah right, have you seen all the people in that place).

3. i was thrilled with tonight's bootee of that show. i did not like her voice AT ALL!

4. i'm tired.

5. i haven't posted in here for awhile. anyone curious where i've been check the dog folder. lol. also posted some pics of my kitty today in the cats thread. julieboo kindly fixed kitty's redeyes. :-)

6. this weekend, i'm going with my friend to her hometown. it's 3 and a half hours away (with her driving, only 2 and a half with me driving) and it's boring by yourself, so i'm going, too. :-)

7. i'm still loaned out to a different department at work, but it's going better than it was...no more backstabbing. i think that lady knows that i found out what she said about me. oh well, i know who to trust now.

8. i got reprimanded about my hair not being pulled back at work the other day, because "it might get caught in the machine". whatever. it's not even anywhere close to the machine. however, by the safety nazi (that's her nickname at work) getting on to me about it, i found out my hair has grown out enough from the last haircut botch to wear it in a ponytail. that is so much more convenient for work...yay! :-)

9. i can hardly keep my eyes open, guess i better go to bed.

10. good night, factoiders!

1. I got my wisdom teeth out this morning, and life isn't so bad. More details in my folder.

2. I hate the witch who does my schedule at work. Well, she hates me. Well....no she doesn't HATE me per se, but she plays favourites, and just treats two or three of us like dog crap. I specifically took weekends out of my availability so I could go see my bf on the island every wknd. She came to me about a month ago and said they were having trouble finding people to work Sat/Sun days, and if ever I'm in town, could I let her know, so maybe I could help out. I said fine, I will tell her what weekends she could schedule me, but I don't know more than a couple weeks in advance. So I worked the last weekend, and this coming weekend, and about a week and a half ago, I gave my next full month of "weekend availabilities" and let her know I would be on the island for Easter break from next Thurs. to Tuesday the 28th. Well last night she goes "Oh you were the last one to book time off for easter, and so I had to schedule you for the weekend." EXCUSE ME?? I SAYS PARDON?? Aren't weekends by default OUT of my availability, and my favours to you are GIVING you ones I can work? But now it's too late. Thankfully the witch's last night is tonight , and she starts her maternity leave. But now I'm screwed for Easter. I've GIVEN her my last 2 weekends as a favour to her, and this <insert any evil name here> doesn't give me the same respect?

2.1 I have NO CLUE how to handle this, and came home in tears last night and bawled to my bf for an hour long distance. I can't talk because of my teeth, so I can't call work tonight, and I don't know whether I should go to the manager that trained the mean girl on scheduling (who will be taking over the schedule again), or if I should go to the GM? I want that weekend off. It's rare I get that much time away from school, and I want to be out on the island.

2.2 What makes things worse is that my bf is going away for 3 weeks to Ontario, as of mid April. So this easter weekend was my last quality weekend with him for months (I will not get to see him from March 6th to May 1st). How do I handle this? My other managers are are REALLY nice, but I don't want to put out there that this trip is worth losing my job over. I don't think they'd fire me at all, but do I want to take the chance? I just need to figure out a way to get out of the weekend.

2.3 Oh and after the April trip, he leaves again mid May for Canada camp, then goes to the World Cup in Argentina, and isn't back til July. Then he leaves for Victoria again In September. Hence my getting so upset about not seeing him.

1. Big day planned tomorrow. Big, lol. Sis asked me to watch my nieces Saturday night, so I'm kid swapping her. Tomorrow she's going to watch them for a few hours in the afternoon so I can clean my carpets. Maybe not too exciting for an afternoon alone, but I'd rather do the carpets when they aren't here.

2. My little "adopted" sis stopped by today to pick something up for my sister since she was heading out there. She was only supposed to run in and pick up a bag, she ended up staying over an hour and we had a great chat.

3. Caleb's got a game tomorrow evening. I'm hoping the weather we had today continues tomorrow. I was a bit worried Sunday and yesterday when it took a turn for the nasty and got windy and cold. Today was great. Much rather sit at the park in warmer weather than freezing my butt off and hoping the wind will stop, lol.

1. I'm back. My vacation was great.

2. The kittens had fun with 'grandma' who came across the street to take care of them while I was gone.

3. Now I'm back at work with a giant pile of work and a zillion idiotic questions from my bosses. Which is why I hate taking vacation.

4. Trying to remind self to not loll about in the crankies as a result of those zillion idiotic questions - and it's a struggle.

4. Can't wait to get back home, Friday evening.

5. Gotta go, the Instuctor just came back into the classroom.

1. MODULES ARE FINISHED. I am so happy. I have Thursday and Friday to myself.

2. Middle son is getting confirmed on Sunday. He wanted to have a little celebration after. I am glad my work is finished so I can plan the party. I'll be looking for lunch suggestions.

3. Bathroom waincotting went up today, light went up, baseboards,....and I have a door again. Hubby is painting tonight so we might be able to take some preliminary pictures. I have his solemn vow that all will be well for the party on Sunday....like I haven't heard that before.

4. Kids went to a wonderful concert last night with an African Children's choir. They have been chanting and singing ever since. I am glad they had a special outing. They went with my parents. Tonight they are off to swim at the local pool.

5. I have a luncheon meeting tomorrow afternoon. It will be nice to see the light of day and get a change of scenery. I will not hold up my hand and volunteer for anything....this is my mantra for tomorrow.

6. I am looking forward to finishing this list and heading off for a dip in my hottub. I have been saving it as my special reward for completing my course. It is still light out here, so it will be neat to use it during daylight hours.

7. Eeeyore.......for heaven's sake, talk to the other manager girl. You need to go to the Island.

4. Even though I'm not Irish, I'm wearing green today.

5. DH is part Irish and he's not even wearing green today.

6. I have a stack of midterms to file in student's folders today. I keep hoping they will magically file themselves when I'm not looking.

7. I don't think that's going to happen lol.

8. Have a great day!

1. Totally forgot that it was St. Patricks day today.

2. It must not be a big deal here in Germany

3. Had a beer today, though! Not green!

4. I think that I'm too tired for the opera tonight.

5. Had a long lunch with MM today.

6. I am still trying to learn the words for knife fork and spoon: die Messer, das Gabel and der Luffel I think!

7. One more day of research and then it's back to work I go.

8. Choir candidates coming in next week...all three of them

9. I have to go back to work on the band search...our fabulous candidate is taking a job in Washington state. Guess that they are more scenic!
