1. Just passing through to say Good Morning Factoiders!

1.1 Kaili, I love how your mom enjoys life! What a great picture!!

1.2 I took my Volvo in for it's check up. It'll be costly but worth it as I hold onto this great little driving machine until I can buy my dream car.

1.3 I'm off to wash my hair and get ready for work.

1.4 Have a great day Factoiders!

1. Happy Birthday Denecee (My very good friend)

2. My half brother and his girlfriend are coming from Missouri to visit us in Oregon for a week! We pick them up at PDX tonight! I am so very excited.

3. I found my birthmother and half brother and half sister in 1992 after my son was born and this visit like others are so much fun getting to still know one in another.

1. I'm home sick, woke up with sore and swollen glands and a headache.

2. #2 offered to stay home and take care of me but I told him that he could just make me a cup of tea and that would be enough.

3. The tea was delish and then I took some tylenol and slept till bout noon.

4. I made myself some chicken noodle soup and I'm going back to bed.

4.1 I think #1 passed his cold on to me, ugh.

1. I have a stress test scheduled this Friday.

2. I have chills today--think I might be coming down with something. I had a bowl of Manhattan clam chowder soup today. (Had chicken noodle yesterday, Mocha. Hope you feel better.)

3. The temp just dropped from 42 to 39. Rain and possible snow are predicted.

4. My mom (who has had cancer on and off for 25+ years--after a mastectomy in 1977) had a full body CAT scan on Friday--as a followup to indicators in her bloodwork that something is going on. Today she saw the doc--who told her he found 'something' in two places. PET scan scheduled on Monday and surgeon appt on Tuesday for a needle biopsy.

5. I have an eye doc appt (finally--way overdue!) on the Friday, April 1. I will be so embarrassed if it turns out that a simple change in lenses solves all my headache issues.

7.5 This has to be one of the funniest Facts ever! Yesterday morning, I was up getting ready for work and the first thing I do in the morning is slip on my sweatpants or Scrub pants and walk to the kitchen and get some coffee. Usually at this point, my wife has the girls up and is getting them ready to go to day care. Well, for some reason, Zoe was following me around yesterday morning and all I had on was my scrub pants. I turned around and Zoe looked up at me with this serious look in her eyes and said, matter of factly, "Daddy, you need to get some clothes on...you butt crack is hanging out."

My wife and I just lost it....

1. LOL Nick! Outta the mouths of babes! Thanks for sharing a Zoe moment which cracked me up!

2. My little teal Volvo is running like a dream after receiving it's check up today!

3. The service guy finished up my paperwork and said "I'll be right back with your car!"

4. I was almost tempted to take the teal Volvo wagon with automatic transmission that the service guy tried to give me instead of my own little teal Volvo sedan.

5. I see this nice looking teal Volvo wagon coming towards me...service guy gets out, holding the door open for me.

6. I smile and say, "I wish!...I've always wanted a Volvo wagon, especially one with automatic transmission and leather seats!".

7. He looks at me with a question mark written all over his face and I break the news gently to him in a low angelic voice...."it's not my car".

8. He chuckles, apologizes and jumps into the wagon, puts it in reverse and re-appears with my little teal Volvo...once again, holding the door open for me. Just for the record, this place has really, really good Volvo mechanics....and most of them are from Sweden....I kid you not!

1. i'm back from nashville, and still in one piece...that is amazing considering what all we went through! LOL! :-)

2. i will be writing about our adventures in the road trip thread a little later, but i'll just tell you guys the theme of the past 2 days was hauling ass, and LOST!

3. that is odd, because my friend and i usually both have a pretty good sense of direction. i don't know what the hell happened!

4. but we had the experience of a lifetime and it was well worth it.

5. we got back to town at about 8:30 last night. i missed both my american idol picks and my survivor mediiiawhore ones. ACK!

6. i went to get my puppy lola from my sister's last night...she'd been there since friday night because of all my traveling. she's been so good! if she whined at all last night, it was so faint i couldn't hear it...and when i woke up i heard someone, but i couldn't tell if it was her whining every few seconds or if it was the cat meowing. maybe she's starting to chill out!

7. it is unbelievable how much she has grown in the last 5 days! she's still the runt though. lol.

8. our vet appointement is saturday, so it'll be interesting to see what she weighs now, at about 11 weeks.

9. happy thursday factoiders! i hope everyone is having a fabulous week!

1. HI BEANIE!!!
2. I have eaten more then my fair share of dark chocolate eggs this week.
3. Time to get out those aerobic DVD's again.
4. I'm enjoying work and all the new projects I'm getting. But could use a mini~vacation.
5. I get tommorrow off, so that's going to be my mini~vacation!
6. I haven't heard from the Gallery owner concerning the jewelry I made for him. I think that may be a bad sign.
7. I'm not going to let it get me down though. Somehow, someday, I'll find a way to continue to make jewelry.
8.I bought Hubby some MENS facewash, lotion, and eye cream. The biggest reason is because I caught him using my expensive stuff on his elbows!! LOL! I asked him this morning if he used it, and although he'd used the face cream, he said he'd use the eye cream on Saturdays, because he didn't have the time to use it on a work day!! ROFL! No wonder they can get ready in half the time as a woman!
9. Jordan started baseball this week. I hope that I'll be able to see some of his games now that I'm working. I would be very unhappy if I couldn't watch him play.
10. I hope all my fellow TVCHers have a wonderful Easter Weekend. And don't eat as much chocolate as me!!

1. Today is the last day of work before a very much needed 4 day weekend! Funny that I should feel that way having just finished a week off for March break. BUT, I think it is because it will be four days with a bathroom, beautiful new bathroom in which I can bathe, and wash and even use a toilet paper roll! Happy Easter factoiders, think of me scrubbin' and rollin'!!

1. I have a doggy dilemma and could use some suggestions - check the dog thread if you like giving advice. Thanks in advance.

2. Work is insane and is the reason I haven't been posting much. But I use my breaks a few times a day to read posts and keep up with everyone. You all help me keep my sense of humor and my sanity. Love ya' for it.

2. Arrived home for my much needed little holiday to two sick children. Neither could keep anything down. The flu is ripping through my house big time.

3. I know, I know, before any of you say it....yes I am grateful that if we have to have the flu, thank goodness for our new bathroom.

1. I'm in a melancholy sort of mood.

2. I was listening to some music that reminded me of the guy I was engaged to for a few months in the summer of '03.

3. I'm feeling the separation/ending of some freindships looming ahead.

4. I really miss Bob, and hate that we don't see each other very often.

5. I am eating too much and am obesessing about food all the time. What is wrong with me?

1. (((((To all that need them))))
2. I found out yesterday that Casey has pneumonia. I TOLD her she probably had that, based on her symptoms but like her mommy she was resistant to go to the doctor. Hopefully with the anibiotics, she'll be on the mend soon.
3. I recieved an email from the guy I did the jewelry work for, he said that the pieces were (nice) but they didn't go over as he had hoped, so he's going to hold off on having me make any more. *sigh*
4. I have today OFF!! PAID! I don't think I've ever had a job that I got paid for not being there. YIPPEE!
5. It's supposed to get up to the 60's next next week. Spring is on the horizon~ But first we'll have to suffer through a muddy, slushy mess for a couple of weeks. That's what happens when we have a big thaw with 2 feet of snow on the ground yet.
6. I have to do a major cleaning of my piggy stye today. I guess I really don't have the day off, do I?

1. Awwww, to be a free-spirited young adult again.....

2. DS#2 and his girlfriend flew in from IN yesterday morning and this morning, they took off to meet up with her family in Big Sur. I'm soooo jealous!! I love roadtrips!!

3. So last night when I got home from work, I not only had DS#2 and said girlfriend, but four old high school friends of DS were here too....guys'n'gals.

4. So Egbob and I put our heads together and ordered 4 huge pizzas to be delivered, throw some cash to DS#2 for the pizzas and then we headed out to a nice restaurant for a quiet dinner...lol!

5. When we returned, the house was back to normal as the group headed to Santa Monica to hear some live music.

6. DS#2 and said girlfriend returned around 11pm and I hear DS#2's cell phone ringing. "Yeah...I'm here. Sure! c'mon on over!!"

7. "Listen sonny boy", I say. "Yo momma has to get some sleep for work tomorrow" (Egbob is on Srping Break so he doesn't care what time he goes to bed). "Yeah, yeah" says sonny boy..."we'll keep it down to a dull roar...and have I told you how much I love you?" I love this kid and the late visitors do keep it down to a dull roar, thank gawd!

8. Well, as I write my 8 facts, all is calm and quiet in my house once again as I waved good-bye to DS#2 and his lovely girlfriend from IN as they head off to Big Sur to meet up with her family.

8a. They'll both be back for Easter Sunday meal around 2pm, then back to college the next morning. Ahhhh yes...youth! You've gotta love it! I love them very much.

1. Had my stress test today--first ever.

2. My heart is just dandy!

3. However, I was out of breath wayyyyy too soon. I got thru all the level walking and only one minute of the first level of incline walking before having to stop.

4. So that means (sigh) I've got to get serious about losing weight and exercising. At least now I know I won't drop dead from a heart attack!

5. My sore back is slowly getting better, thanks to advice from Lum.

6. She suggested I get a gel pack that you can freeze/microwave. The box came with two. So I froze one and nuked the other. The cold one actually helped the most.

7. My Loupup called crying today---to tell us she had quit her job after a fight with her boss.

8. What was the fuss about? She demanded her paycheck. (Second time in a month when the owner announced paychecks were being delayed--and boss once again couldn't tell them when they would get paid.) This is a landscape architectural firm. We had to float Loupup a loan last time--so she could pay her rent. Loupup did repay us.

9. So now Loupup has to look for a new job. And she still needs that paycheck. I offered to help Loupup with the online job search, but I also suggested she go back to school at night to get her masters. (She has a Design Marketing (BS) degree from Parsons.) Course the money for the night class is another issue.

10. My Loupup is feeling better tonight--as Ed drove to Brooklyn to see her, take her out to eat---and, oh yeah, stop in to have a chat with the (former) boss. We'll see what happens with the paycheck. (Ed gave the woman til Monday to "find" the money and pay Loupup---or it would be even more expensive as she'd need a lawyer.) Sigh.

1. Did I say that I had the jet lag whipped? HA HA HA! 3:30 am and wide awake after going to bed at about 8:30 last night. Cat is on my lap, and I'm going to pack to leave for the folks in a little bit. Told Mom I would be there at about 8 or 9 am, so I need to leave by 4 or 5....more likely 5! (She wanted me home last night, but I was just WAY TOO falling asleep!)

Happy Easter!

1. Hey cuz - you going to the opening of the Lincoln Presidential Museum in April? Colossus and I will be there. There's serious buzz about how state-of-the-art and just generally KEWL the exibits are. Mom and especially Dad have been volunteering their time to the museum and its opening (rumors, rumors about all the living Presidents attending, massive security checks going on of all personel) and both are just overwhelmingly impressed with the museum and library. It's a very exciting time for Springfield!!

2. Going to the wedding of a very dear friend today, one who has buried both of his parents and his best friend in the past few years and suffered many hardships surrounding those losses. His bride-to-be is a Godsend, and everyone who loves him is so grateful that he's been given the gift of this woman at this time in his life. Her teenage boys adore him, and he has long since embraced her children as his own. Today is going to be a very happy day - does my heart good to see someone so deserving finally grasping the brass ring. Although knowing Timmy he's probably swinging from it like a monkey while the carousel keeps circling behind him and the organ keeps grinding. That's our boy.
