1. We are having a spectacular afternoon!

2. I woke up early enough to roll out and go to Curves on a Saturday. YAY, Me!!

3. Walked out of Curves and heard some drums, followed my ears over to Albertson's where, outside, some students from La Quinta High were in a group that included all sorts of percussion.

4. This reminded me of watching the Finnish percussion group with Marm and Eggie in Long Beach

5. This group not same caliber but fun.. All sizes of xylophones and drums, triangle, cymbals.. but almost no one stopping to watch them!

6. I donated $5 to their group.

7. Finally two others who had been working out with me drifted over and we got some cheering started!

8. Got home and still felt like moving around.

9. So I took a walk all around and through our complex and just enjoyed the sun, wind and the DAY.

1. Dang, only 1! I have more than one fact to share, LOL, so I'm going to cheat!

1.2 We had a blast! Let's start with the drive. After all the whinning I've done about the rain the last few months someone should slap me silly. I was in awe today on our trip. Darren teased me the whole ride down there about being a tourist cuz I kept snapping pics of the mountains. All this rain has given life to my desert. Everywhere I looked was green, golds, purples, it was beautiful! The poppies are blooming, the mountains that had been ravaged by fire the last time we drove that way have healed and grown. Big reminder to me why I love living in the desert, I forgot it could be so pretty.

1.3 When Darren suggested having this weekend away, I was thinking about being holed up in some nice quiet hotel away from everything and everyone. What I got instead was a fun, hectic day, lol.

1.4 First we went to the Ripley's Believe it or Not museum. Ok, I probably won't ever go back, but it was a fun hour and a half looking at weird stuff.

1.5 Then we drove a few blocks down the street and parked at Knott's Berry Farm. We spent a couple hours wandering and browsing through the stores they have there. Most of the families were in Knotts rather than outside, so it was fairly quiet and not too busy.

1.6 We left there, drove back down the street and went to Medieval Times. Neither one of us has ever been, and for years we've talked about going but have never made it. The other day we sat down at our computers and started searching the web for ideas about what to do today. At one point I'd just clicked on the MT website when I heard this LOUD music coming from Darren's computer. I asked what site he was looking at and he said he was just checking the Medieval Times site. I showed him I was looking at the same site, and we'd thought about it at the same time, so we were decided.

1.7 We got there at 4:30 and wandered through their gift shops for awhile. Tried to talk him into buying me a $450 sword, but he just laughed at me, LOL. We headed in and sat down at the bar and ordered a couple drinks.

1.8 Pretty soon I notice a couple kids on the dance floor, wooden swords in hand whacking the crap outta each other. Didn't take long before a couple more kids showed up, and a few more, and a few more, lol. By probably 5:30 there was about 50 kids out there with their little wooden swords doing challenge. It was pretty fun to watch.

1.9 The show was great, well except for the part where they turn loose a bird and let it fly around the audience. I was almost under the table at that point, LOL. We got seated next to a family who was celebrating the daughters 11th birthday. She'd brought along two friends, and these kids were probably the most enthusastic spectators there. They were cracking me up most of the night. Their excitement was very contagious. We really had a great time. We got home about 10:30, Darren sat down on the couch and was out cold in about a minute flat, lol.

1.10 Puppy, crowded, noisy get togethers make me extremally nervous. Especially like last night where I'm with a group of people I don't really know. I always worry I'm coming across as standoffish or even rude because I usually end up sitting there nodding and smiling rather than joining in the conversation. Normal one on one conversations aren't a problem, but someone who talks too quietly, too much background noise, and the phone are when I have real problems.

There only 1 fact!

1.war, sounds like you had a great time yesterday! yay! i'd never heard of medieval times til last weekend when i was watching the ashlee simpson show and that's where her friends took her for her birthday!

2. went out last night for the first time in about a month (well, here anyway). they have a keith urban poster on the wall behind the bar, so i asked the waitress (whom i went to HS with) where it came from. she said that tommy put it up there. tommy is the dj there. so i asked him if he had anymore....he held up his finger telling me to wait a sec, and comes back down with 2 of them! one for me and one for my friend! woo hoo! he said he personally knows keith and that he could get his autograph, too! i asked him if he could get me a date with him, too. rofl! that one he didn't know about! damn it!

sorry to write such long facts...2 wasn't enough for me today, either!

1. Yesterday, my son and I went on our weekly trek to the bird rookery here. This is something we love to do together and we're both learning alot about the different birds there.

2. My fav birds arrived some times this week! The adolescents are soooo much fun to watch.




3. Hopefully, we'll remember to bring cameras on our next journey there.

1. I refuse to call my weekend boring. Since I have done nothing to speak of, I'll call it relaxing.

2. I did work yesterday, but I'm not complaining cause I love my job.

3. My great plans for today will be watching TV and doing laundry. Whew!! Exciting huh?

4. I don't watch the Oscars because I never get to see the movies until after they win or lose so that makes it no fun. I have seen Ray and that was excellent so I guess it would get my vote on everything.

1. War, I'm so happy that you and Darren got to take a mini roadtrip together! I loved hearing all your facts!!

2. Ddr, I'm so jealous that you have such a beautiful place to visit and see these awesome creatures! We have a little acreage of Marshland nearby but all I see are ducks and seagulls.

3. Kady, I haven't had the opportunity to tell you just how great it is to see you back in this thread! I haven't been as active but I do read this thread daily....so a belated "welcome back"!!

4. My injured pinkie was hurting yesterday but this morning it's feeling pretty good. I'm thankful for this day.

5. Last Friday, I learned that I will have to give a little speech in April about our hospitals Student Volunteer Program. This is definitely a new area for me and I look forward to 'splaining to the general audience, which includes our hospital Administrators and some city dignitaries. I'm thinking a new "power suit" is in order here...lol!

1. Yesterday I went shopping in mom's closet and now I have plenty of clothes for work.

2. Wish I could fit her shoes though.

3. I think we may have to get rid of Spike.

4. This saddens me but he's too overpowering for Angel.

5. But I'll think of some other options before I make that final decision.

6. Mom bought a new flat screen/panel tv, the kind that doesn't stick out in the back, so dh and I have to move tv's around this afternoon.

1. So glad to read War's facts about her weekend because I was wondering about romance in the desert. What a happening place!!!!

2. After church, (my youngest didn't sing the duet...they decided they needed more practise...I think its a ploy to get us to church on a regular basis) went to visit a sick friend. She didn't feel like eating anything, so I thought I would bring her a magazine and some cough drops. She came to the door coughing, ripped open the cough drops and took one right away. Bless her heart, I hope she gets well soon. I didn't stay.

3. Went to wash the salt off my car this afternoon. For once it was warm enough to do it properly. The car looks great sitting in the sunshine all clean.

4. Mailed out the pamphlets to the retreat weekend in April. Now I just have to sit back and wait for the responses. I hope people get as excited about it as the planning committee.

5. Spent the better part of the mid afternoon cruising/roaming folders. It takes a while to drop a quick note in friends' folders, but a nice way to spend some alone time.

6. I forgot the Academy awards are on tonight and we already made plans to go to the hockey game. Darn, all I can hope is that none of the good awards have been given out by the time we get home. So much for going to bed early.

7. I am looking forward to getting into the hottub after I finish this post. I promised the kids who spent the afternoon at the toboganning hill that we could jump in it when they finished their snack and hot chocolate. I guess its that time now.

Have a great evening folks
Fondly

1. ok folks, i just did something that i wouldn't define as the smartest thing i've ever done in my life.

2. i just brought home a PUPPY!

3. it's my sister's fault.

4. i went over to their house to play with their puppies, and sis asks me if i know anyone who wants a chihuahua...as the people they got their girl from last weekend (and pedro back in the summer) had 3 more.

5. she wasn't trying to get me to get one, just wondered if anyone else i knew wanted one.

6. a few minutes later we were on our way over there, and i'm now the proud owner of a little girl chihuahua!

7. she is a tan-colored little sweetie!

8. i don't know her name yet....i'm thinking chi chi or something along those lines. maybe i'll go to the dog thread and ask for suggestions. i think she needs a spanish name.

9. the cat can't figure out what the hell is going on!

1. Yay on the new puppy, Jbean! You know I'm an advocate for normal people names for dogs, so I'd go with a great Spanish name for her :-)

2. Hubby got the MUCH anticipated call from his #1 airline choice last week! He has an interview this Thursday with them.

3. Please be prayerful at 1:00pm eastern time this coming Thursday. He'll know sometime in the week following if he gets a job. This is his dream...what he has wanted to do forever and what he's worked very hard to do for the last 6 years. He is just the kind of person who deserves to see dreams realized

4. If he gets the job, he'll be heading back to Florida for 10 weeks. That part kinda sucks, but I'd support him going to the moon if that is what he wanted.

5. The good thing is that I'll get to go with him to Florida and spend a week down there during my Spring Break. We'll drive to Florida in his truck the weekend before, and I'll fly home the weekend after.

6. I'll get to hang out with my brother and SIL as well which will be great! Mitzi and I will hang out at the beach while the guys work

7. The BTK stuff around here is making huge headlines. I ran into a CNN reporter today!

8. I missed all but the last 1/2 hour of the Oscars because we had a business dinner tonight.

9. Good thing I love my colleagues!

10. Have a great week everyone!

1. Yay Spy! I'll be thinking about Flyboy Thursday and sending him great big positive vibes and happy thoughts!

2. Yay Holly! So glad she is doing well with her shoulder.

3. We spent the day with the kids having fun. We went out to lunch with them and worked on some craft projects (me and Dakota are working on picture frames while Darren and Caleb are busy building a model airplane.) It was an absolutely beautiful day here today, so Darren spent an hour or so outside doing yard work, while the kids rode their bikes and played with the neighbor kids. It was so nice to spend outside while the kids were busy having fun getting exercise.

3.5 Little league season has officially started. Opening ceremonies are next Saturday, we have our raffle tickets to sell, Dakota's practice times and and uniform colors. We know absolutely nothing about Caleb's team right now other than the team name and that they practiced yesterday (we had told them we wouldn't be there.) We don't have raffle tickets for him yet, no idea when the next practice is, or the colors for his team, and haven't gotten his tshirt and hat yet. Darren volunteered to help out with practices and games if he could, and after the first phone call we haven't heard a thing...we don't even know the coaches name yet (they didn't have one the last time we talked to the L.L. people.)

1. I'm HOME!!!!!

2. Today, I had decided that my bf and I would go downtown for 2:30, and have breakfast at this place that closed at 3pm, and then I'd catch the 3:29 bus to the ferry, which leaves at 5pm. The breakfast place wouldn't take us as it was too close to closing time. The next restaurant we chose was within my timeline, but then the manager came over to tell us the food would be a bit longer than normal. So I'm thinking: if the food isn't ON THE TABLE by 3:10, then I'll just relax with my bf over a slow meal, go shopping, and then catch the next ferry at 7pm. Just then, the food arrived. So all is going well and I catch my 3:@9 bus, and get to the ferry to see it PACKED. Apparently the 5pm ferry was cancelled due to mechanical failure and I had to sit there waiting for the 7 ferry. UGH!!! I think all of the early signs were pointing to just going to the ferry for 7 in the first place. 2 more hours with my bf would have been amazing.

3. I have now been travelling for 7 hours total. I hate lugging bags around. Thank God it's over.

4. The ferry was packed, but I met a girl in line about my age, who I ended up sitting and eating with on the ferry. She just got engaged, and was over in Victoria making all the wedding plans. Was a nice way to spend the 2 hour ride.

4.5 I saw a lady on the ferry that I SWEAR was Seamonkey, even though I've never met Seamonkey. I ALMOST went up and asked her, but upon closer look, and my own shyness, I convinced myself it wasn't her. LOL

1. CAN"T BELIEVE that I'm still awake!

2. Just emailed off my symposium paper for publication in Germany. I really procrastinated because I am not sure of the German formatting. I bet their editor will have fun with mine. I don't even have the characters that they use for quotations and they aren't quotation marks. SIGH!

3. Gotta get some sleep before I teach at 9 am.

4. Ellie has gotten really insistent at wanting to come in. She has a pitiful yowl and scratches at the glass door. She now has hopped off the porch and howls and scratches at the siding underneath the window where I park my butt in the sofa. SMART CAT. Or stupid cat...it's raining outside and she comes in and then I give her food and put her in the garage. THEN she goes UNDER the house in the crawl space, out the back yard, hop over the fence and around to the front. SHESSH...then she wants back in.

5. I'd probably let her in more often, but I am allergic to cats. When I get stuffed up, sneeze or get the headache, out she goes.

3. Bummer about having to wait for the ferry, Eeyore.
4. Marm, what do you do over in Germany all the time?
5. War, I miss little league!!!
6. I may just go back to bed.

1. Happy Birthday to MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

2. For the record - I am 41 today.

3. And yes I am planning on my weekly weigh in today even though it is my birthday!

4. Blue sky out today - a tad cold (and yeah still haven't gotten that heater issue taken care of so the drive to work was COLD).

5. My Sunday School class made spiral mobiles with shapes hanging from them (I cheated and used precut foam shapes :-) ) with ways to be kind to others on the shapes (February's virtue (we focus on a virtue for the whole month) was Kindness - January was Orderliness). The kids had a blast (and so did the teacher even though she was worn out afterwards)

6. secured a sub for the 13th when i'll be gone. This is the first Sunday since early June 04 when I started teaching that I won't be there (will be weiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiird)

6.5 - I mentioned happy birtday to me - right??

1. I never posted in this thread before.

2. I love Essence's list.

3. So many people whine about their jobs.

4. People should be happy that they have a job.

5. Especially if they have decent benefits like health insurance.

6. We should all appreciate things we have that we may take for granted (health family employment)

7. I hope to clean the house today.

8. I think Ella will prevent me from getting as much done as i want. But she is more important than the cleaning!

1. Good morning everyone!!

2. I've been away for way too long.

3. Had to be admitted into the hospital on Sunday.

4. Darn asthma again. I also have pnuemonia.

5. Today is my first day back at work. It feels good to be back to "normal".

6. I kept up with my grading, so I'm not really overwhelmed.

7. DH was so supportive. He even tried to keep the house clean. This was his first big asthma attack. I'm glad HE survived.

8. I feel like I'm out of the loop, so I'm going to have to catch up on the latest postings.

9. Have a great Monday :-).

1. Happy Birthday to Puppylov!

2. I don't want to be up. I don't want to go to school today. I don't want to call work and find out my schedule for the week. I don't want to attend English class today. I just want one whole day to lay in my comfy bed and keep warm and snuggled, and have all the room in the world to sleep (my bf has a single bed). If I call work this morning, and I'm not scheduled tonight or tomorrow, I may convince myself to skip school and go back to bed.

2.1 Grrr....I work tomorrow night, so that means I MUST go to my english class today. **sigh** I have convinced myself to skip my first class and go back to bed for an extra couple of hours. The Art of Compromise.

2.2 I put a picture of the crowded ferry terminal in my folder.
