1. Yeahm Cym....had I been in the Facts earlier, I coulda toldja that Eggie is one of the niced Factoiders...unless, she's schtickling.

2. So don't warboutit...I didn't like the rules either and broke them several times!

3. And with that said, here's a little riddle for my fact #3: What's a Man do standing, that's acceptable for a woman to do sitting and a dog does with one leg raised?

1. Caleb had a great game tonight. Was walked his first time at bat, then hit a single his second time up. Best of all he stole three bases and scored a point (first time up the kid on base ahead of him scored the 6th point for their team in an inning so they stop there and switch sides.) They won 9 to 2, and he was given the game ball. Whole team did great and best of all, all of the kids had fun.

2. Kota helped out in the snack bar for awhile before my mom got there (bil had to work so couldn't make it.) My little girl worked her butt off, lol. She did manage to earn herself a giant pickle, a bottle of water, and an order of fries. Since she can't have sugar much anymore her choices are pretty limited. She was pretty excited to be allowed to work since we'd thought she was too young for it and when she managed to earn her own goodies (the kids who help out get "paid" with snacks) she about bursted with pride.

3. Our school is finally done with all the testing, so tomorrow I get to go back to volunteering for the first time in a few weeks.

4. Caleb has an oral report due at the end of the week. He's been working on it for the past week and has been struggling so badly with it. He has to sell something to his class and he picked a book he'd been reading. For some reason, it's just not working for him so tonight we decided after talking about it he'd start over with something new. He wants to know if he can "sell" his sister, LOL. Dakota's all for it, since it'd mean her getting out of class for awhile to be his prop and both of them think it's pretty funny. I thought it was rather creative, though I'm not sure her teacher would let her out of class and that his teacher would allow her to come in.

1. I had a really busy day today, and am ready to hit the feathers.

2. I met AuntieMike this morning for coffee and chatting. It was a great time, and I was very glad to see her again.

3. I hit the jackpot at Goodwill today, finding several shirts and a summer dress for wearing around the house.

4. My son had his final choir concert tonight for school. He is a senior this year, and all the seniors in the choirs handed out long stemmed red roses to the mothers. So now I have a lovely red rose blooming in a vase.

5. Bob got another temp job today that will last about 3 weeks. He'll be working 6 11's. He will be driving by my house every morning and every night, but he won't be stopping by as he has a rider carpooling with him.

Morning all

1. Happy that Eggie has given me a "schtickling pass" for the year.

2. Barn flooring is 1/2 out and 1/2 in at this time. I will post some pictures of the progress when I get a chance.

3. Yesterday I worked on another flower bed and put a bunch of woodchips on it with tracter and bucket, but I ran out of woodchips, so I get to leave that job for a bit until we get more chips.

4. We are starting the main part of the deck. Well our friend who is installing it, is. He will put the posts in tomorrow and then on Friday and Saturday he will put the deck up.

5. Saturday night I will be sitting on the deck with a nice cool drink regardless of the weather.

6. This weekend is a holiday for Canadians. It is the Victoria Day holiday on Monday. Hoping the weather stays nice as this long weekend is known to be wet and rainy as it is a holiday weekend.

Have a great day all!

1. Happy Victoria Holiday Skootz!

2. I'm going bald.

3. Well, not really... but I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how in the heck I'm going to get this townhome done in less then 11 days, pack for CA, work and have some level of normal family life (food and clean towels)

4. We have layed 700 sf of wood floor, we have 1500 sf of carpet and tile to do. Finish putting in appliances, light fixtures, door knobs, ect.

5. I NEED a vacation!!

6. Work is going well. I've been learning to work in Photoshop, which I absolutely HATE, but the finished product is so nice when I use it. So I'll just keep plugging away on that.

7. This weekend my best friend Sherry is coming up to help me wash about 30 windows, all the woodwork and floors, and hopefully (cross your fingers) we'll be able to sneak away from working for a couple of hours to sit outside in what sounds like is going to be a sunny, 78 degree day.

1. RG, we just got back from a working vacation at Caleo in Scottsdale;

2. It's a newly renovated resort and spa, probably late-'50's to '60's era, just YUMMY southwestern-goes-mediterranean decor with mature foliage and tons of firepit atmosphere;

3. I thought of you and Karuuna having your spa vacation last year and smiled - if you two decide to do that again, you really need to look this place up;

4. Outside of being marvelous, the place is ridiculously reasonably priced;

6. We got hot-rock massages and facials every day, had drinks by the pool and ate at their restaurant almost every meal;

7. Despite our best efforts to horrify ourselves with the final bill (believe me, we didn't restrain ourselves at all, we were on a much needed VACATION - a working one, but nonetheless a VACATION), we only managed to drop $1500.00. And that was including the cost of our pool-side room. There were plenty of less-expensive available;

8. You'll get everything done and be in California before you know it. Wish we could go too!!

Thank you for having faith that I'll get all my work done. I need someone to have faith, cuz I can't seem to muster it. LOL! Love ya!

8.3 GGGIIIRRRRRLLL check out their hot-weather rates. They're even better. There's plenty of canopied shade around the pool, and you can only hang out by the pool so much anyway. PS we'll post a few pictures, the website doesn't begin to do the place justice.

1. Texannie, if I shared Cymipod's email here, then y'all would really see where she stated she liked me best...<wink>

2. Skootz, keep reminding me that I gave you that free schtickling pass for the year. Brain farts have entered my life big time...lol!! I'm so glad to hear that your deck is coming along...enjoy that nice cool drink on your new deck!!

3. GAL, your "working vacation" sounded heavenly!! I'm going to check it out too...sounds like a great 3-day weekend getaway for dh and me!!

4. I need a vacation too! I'm taking 3 weeks in July....going to Montana/Idaho and forgetting about rl. I can hardly wait....
(exhales out slowly with thoughts of Big Sky Country and nature's beauty up that way)

5. War, in case you don't realize it, I am re-living my earlier "mom" years through your posts!! Your current "mommy" life is paralleling my past "mommy" life and I do enjoy hearing about Caleb and Kota!

6. Sage, it's always so nice hearing from you too! I thought it was so sweet that you got a long-stemmed rose from you son...aahhhhhh...

7. RG, when you come to California...I'm going to drive up to War's town - snatch her and then go and snatch you - bring both of you here and let you clean my house from top to bottom...LOL!!

8. Ouch, damn it! I just took a sip of my fresh brewed coffee without thinking and burned the tip of my tongue...
(...lets tongue hang out of mouth to avoid the burning sensation...I know, tmi!)

9. thaHave a thagreat thaWedthnesday thaFactoidthers!! thaRemember! thaKeep your thaeyeballths th-peeled for th-Cymipod, the th-new th-pothster that thalikes me bestthsss. <giggle>

1. I'm going to have TOO much vacation this year, but it's all working vacation. At least I get to go to some different places.

2. I'm sitting in my office proctoring a graduate student's comprehensive exam. ALMOST done....well about 40 minutes to go.

3. I had to call a colleague twice this morning to make sure that I was doing everything right for this exam.

4. I'm going to make a turkey this afternoon.

5. I'm also going to do laundry, as I'm leaving on Friday for 15 days of travel in 4 locations. YIKES!

6. The cat was glad to see me come home. She ran out to greet the car.

7. I have a TON of odds and ends to do between now and Friday at noon when I leave. YIKES! At least I don't have to finish a town house like RG!

8. It took me 5 hours to get caught up on email and the board last night. WHEW!

9. I still don't have my ticket to Germany. SIGH! I suppose that I should get it soon.

10. I was really upset to see the room for our synod worship. I was told that I would be the organist. It's hard to be an organist when there is no ORGAN! The director of music proudly showed me their snazzy electronic keyboard with all the bells and whistles. (And I MEAN that....if they need thunder, lightening, or doorbell sound effects for the lessons, we've got it covered). I just stood there like a moron and said "it isn't an organ". She replied "it can SOUND like an organ" and pushed the "organ" button. I was dumbfounded and said "but it doesn't have a pedalboard! I can't play organ literature without a pedalboard." I'm debating whether I should call the bishop's office or just sit and stew. I HATE it when I know that I'm not going to sound as good as I should for a big event. CRIPES, they have a nice pipe organ in the sanctuary....don't know why we're not using it?!!!!?

<end of the marm rant....gosh that feels better>

and remember

<imagine REALLY COOL graphic here!>

1. My house is in turmoil, credit card went missing and I still haven't caught up on the leftover laundry from the trip away! I haven't even thought of when and how I can post pictures. Gosh its only Wednesday and already it feels like my vacation was 2 months ago and not just 2 days. GRRRRR I loathe Wednesdays.

1. Hi Wappy, sorry you are in a state of confusion..just keep thinking of how it will look in the end. (and soaking nightly in your hot tub won't hurt either to comfort yourself)

2. I bet you are looking forward to the upcoming long weekend...one extra day off.

1. LOL, Silly you sound like me. Two days ago I had the heaters going, when usually by this time of the year we're in shorts and tank tops (ok today we were, lol, but Monday and Tuesday were freezing.)

2. Speaking of this weather, even though today was nice, my allergies are still a mess. Most of the time I have runny nose and eyes and sneezing first thing in the morning, but lately it's been going on all day...like right now, lol.

3. Neighbor's daughter came over today to type up a science report. Their computer broke so I offered ours. The poor kid is 10 and hasn't really typed much. I set up the computer for her and left her to her work while I went to help Caleb with his. I came back half an hour later to check on her, she had typed one paragraph, one finger at a time. I took pity on her and typed out her report in about 15 minutes flat. On the positive side, I got a refresher course on DNA.

4. Eggie, I love sharing about my kidlets. There are days they leave me pulling out my hair (tonight I walked into the bathroom to wash Kota's hair and found her throwing a cup of water against the wall, I have no idea why, lol.) But I wouldn't trade it for anything. They certainly keep me busy and keep life fun and interesting!

5. I have been sleeping like crud lately. Seems like every night I get to sleep right as Darren's getting up which of course wakes me up and I can't get back to sleep.

1. Eggie, clean your house?? What on earth gave you the idea that I'm a good housekeeper...LOL! Lately my house looks like a bomb went off. I had promised Citrus at one time that I wouldn't start packing suitcases 6 weeks in advance, sooooo, I have 3 piles of clothes teetering on the ironing board, waiting, waiting, waiting to be dealt with for our less the 2 weeks away vacation.... I done good, huh, Citrus??
2. We burned a HUGE pile of wood and debris last night, in the rain no less, so that the excavators can put in the driveway to the townhomes. IT was the biggest, hottest, tallest fire we've ever had. I suspect that hubby used something to "get" it going... cause it's been raining for weeks...LOL!
3. I'm wearing a summer dress to work today, even though it's dark and grey outside. It's supposed to be summer, damnit!
4. I have been making mental lists of what to bring on vacation, but it's time to start writing it down, because it's driving me... MeNtAL
5. I hope you get some rest War, so you are ready for some major dishing when I get to CA. Although I'm not a late nighter, I'll do my best to keep up with all of you on Pacific Time.
6. I baked a cake for my coworker, who is having a Birthday today. It's not the prettiest cake, but hopefully it's the thought that counts!

1. I've been in lurker mode lately, not for any one reason, sometimes I fall into that category.

2. My near adult off spring are all done with college and it's been nice having them around the house for the past week. Nobody starts their jobs until next week.

3. My daughter and my future daughter in law have decided to have a yard sale this upcoming weekend. I'm thrilled to have them get rid of all the extras we are storing but OMG, what a mess they are making getting ready for it.

4. Having all these young skinny people around is killing my diet. Late nights watching movies and making scrumptious fattening foods are my downfall.

5. A bragging moment: my son, daughter and future daughter in law (she lives with us) each got on their school's deans list.

6. We are all doing a daily count down until my oldest son's leave, 20 days.

7. My husband Tim is back to work after his recent foot surgery and while I thought I was tired of him being around all day I now find I miss him.

7.1 Eggie I'm also curious about Yankee's Letterman post.

7.2 Wargod, LOL @ Kota! I love kids that march to their own drummer.

7.3 RG, I followed your example today and wore white jeans, ok, so it's not a sun dress but I was just hanging out at home. I just liked the idea of dressing like it was summer.

7.4 Hugs for Wappy that needs a vacation to recover from vacation.
