1. I'm feeling much better today thanks to new asthma meds, and am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel with this upper respiratory crap!! 2. Tomorrow we're off to my Dad's for the weekend. Yay! Going to celebrate his 73rd birthday (which was actually the 14th). He's always been my most favorite person on the planet. 2.1 Happy weekend, Factoiders!

1. For my birthday, I recieved money from all my friends and loved ones so I could get a digital camera, something I've been wanting for a long time now. 2. Tonight, I ordered a KODAK EASYSHARE DX7440 4.0MP, 4X OPTICAL ZOOM, with 32MB internal memory.
3. I expect when my camera arrives in the mail, I'll be taking lots and lots of pictures, and I'll more than likely will be sharing some of them with you all. Oh boy, I can't wait! 4. Mom bought a TV for the living room so we've been both enjoying that together watching channels from the dish network. Mom has been really enjoying watching the Food Network... hehe. 5. My brother and his wife and her brother moved out last weekend, and it's just me and mom now, and a new boarder who won't be here very often. It's been so nice and quiet and I feel like I now own some space besides my bedroom and my computer chair, sitting in front of the computer. 6. On the 31st, I go in for major surgery again! Something I don't really want to do, but need to do as the mesh that the doc put in me is causing all the problems I've been having all year. 7. The day before the surgery, I have to do the dreaded colon prep/cleansing deal, drinking some special stuff and being limited to a liquid diet... ugh.

I'm leaving work about 45 minutes early today so I can go to the Friday yoga class to make up the class I missed last Saturday. 4. I LUVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV yoga. 5. I will also be doing Yoga class tomorrow - regular class. 6. Nice weather here - looking forward to getting outside for of all things yard work! 7. Good luck with the surgery Sage - I've heard the stories about the prep from my best friend and my mother. ugh indeed. 8. Happy Friday everyone!

1. TGIF!!! 2. It has been a VERY long week. 3. Our new furniture came yesterday. 4. I absolutely adore it. 5. Everything in our bedroom is neat and clean. Let's see how long it takes DH to change it. 6. We're going to see "The Ring Two" this weekend. 7. The first one scared me, so I'm hoping this one is good as well. 8. I have to figure out what to eat for lunch today. No meat Fridays are a challenge. 9. Have a great day TVCH.

Hurrah! Ten it is! 1. Went out and bought a new lawn mower today. I had my other one for two summers and was having problems with it...so I gave it away on Freecycle to some one in need. If they're a bit mechanically inclined, they should get it up and running in no time. 2. We had to do something with our tax return. We also bought the girls some new matresses for their bunk-beds. Even though the beds aren't stacked yet...they needed new ones. 3. I can just see Tara getting up in the middle of the night and sitting over the side and falling off the top bunk. *Thump* Knowing her though, she would think it's fun. That girl is a little dare-devil. 4. So we're going to wait until they're a little older before we stack the beds. Out of curiosity...what age is a good age to let your kids sleep in the top bunk? 5. We took Zoe and Tara up to ma'maw's today. It just breaks mine and my wife's heart the way those girls push us out. "Alright, we're at ma'maw's now. See y'all later." They just bawl and scream when we leave them with Ma'maw. 6. I made it safely back from Boston. I haven't flown since before 9/11 and have been a little weary about flying since then. 7. My wife is stil looking for a new job. She put her two weeks notice in Friday. We're hoping she can find one before the two weeks are up. She's been sending out resume's left and right. 8. She's had a few inquiries but nothing serious yet. 9. I think spring is finally here in my neck of the woods. 10. I ate way too much sushi earlier this evening. Bonus:

1. We went out to my sisters for a few hours tonight. Watched the nieces, set the house up and did a little getting ready for a suprise party for a friend. We had a good time. Was nice for the kids too since they've been trapped in the house with the rain, they got to play with their cousins, and boy did they play! 1.5 Nick, my sis and I had bunk beds when we were kids (I think I was about 11 or 12 when we got rid of them.) Sis was still falling off the top bunk right up til we got rid of them. The girls are as adorable as always!

1. Tomorrow is our 20th anniversary. Allan and I are giving each other matching anniversary rings and going to The Keg for dinner 2. Tomorrow is also Allan's CT scan. We won't find out the results until APRIL FOOL'S DAY. (Whoever booked these things had great timing) 3. The year we married the 21st of March was the first day of spring. We thought this would be the perfect day for new beginnings. (We were right! )

1. I'm home, tired, but glad that I don't have to translate German for a while! 2. Sat in the car with the cat to see if she would be afraid of it. NOPE. Maybe later I'll actually TURN the car ON to see if she freaks. All this in preparation for taking her with me to see my parents for Easter because I won't be able to get a house/cat sitter. 3. I am needing a nap badly, but the Salukis are on TV right now. Not much maroon in the audience, dang it! It is really cool to see your school on National TV....well, when I was at Iowa State, Iowa and Indiana, it was a given, but I was a student then. 4. I am making boneless spare ribs on the George Foreman grill for lunch!

1. Won't be too long before I can quit my night job. 2. Wife is gonna get the best job ever! 3. Until then...it's "Hi Ho Hi Ho" 4. It's raining here at the house...first day of spring and it rains. Kinda chilly too. 5. Got a discount on my Cingular Phone Service...just because I work for Tyco. Of course, we only found out about it a day or two ago...wonder how long the big-wigs at my office knew before they shared it with us grunts....

YAY! 2. my friend and i are leaving town at 5:30 am tomorrow to catch our 10:15 am flight out of kansas city to nashville! we're going to see the nashville star show! look for us in the audience. LOL! 3. i have only flown one other time, and i was 11 years old then! it was almost 20 years ago! i'm excited about flying again. 4. lola has been staying at my sister's house since friday night....i was gone all weekend, and it would have been dumb to go get her just for her to sleep here and then take her to mom's today and back to sis's tonight. (she stays at mom's during my days at work because of the whining). anyway, i miss her terribly! she is loving playing with my sister's dogs though. i stopped by to see her last night. 5. i have a lot of shit to do tonight in preparation for this trip. i hate packing. also i need to clean out my flippin' car....ack! 6. we are off on friday for good friday, and since i was already taking off on tuesday and wed. i decided that would be dumb to go to work for one day, then be off again, so i took thursday off, too! yay for vacation and holiday days off!

1. Have fun, Jbeanie! Sounds like a great trip, I can't wait to hear all about it. 2. I had another shopping spree at Goodwill this weekend. Picked up some more fun stuff, yay! 3. We've actually had rain here the last couple days...crazy that we live in Oregon and it's the first rain we have had in a long while! 4. I laugh when the media starts talking about droughts....HELLO! This is Oregon...it could every day between now and June, don't get your panties in a wad yet! 5. My kids have colds. Yuck. 6. Tomorrow the girls across the street are going to come over to babysit and I am going to go out and do some pampering! Since it is Spring Break I have the girls at my disposal, think I will have lunch with a friend on Friday too! 7. I am almost done with the toy box I have been working on, it looks great!

1. George Carlin was cancelled Friday night! He's sick! Dammit! 2. We went to the local comedy club instead. The guy from the Dodge commercial that says "That thing gotta hemi?" was there. 3. We sat in the first row. I was a little nervous becaus ethere was another woman in the first row with a sweater almost identical to mine. I was scared the comedian might say something but none of them did (there were two before the main guy). 4. It was a lot of fun. I laughed a lot but that could also be because of the two drink minimum and the 2 pitchers we had at dinner. 5. The seats are all smooshed together and I leaned back and accidentally headbutted the woman at the table next to me. Hard. I have a bump on the back of my head! 6. I also managed to get in a fight with the bathroom door after the show. Yeah, I think the door won. It didn't lock all the way so I was holding it while I was trying to button my pants back up and it kept feeling like someone was trying to push it open. I kept shoving at it and I was getting pissed that this "woman" was trying to open the door while I was in there. I shoved it back shut like 4 times. Well, when I was done I let go of the door and it turns out it was a heavy door that swung in on its own. No one was there. Whoops. 7. Anyway, I had fun with my mom. We did the comedy thing Friday, then Saturday we went to Sheboygan to see my cousin and his wife. Kind of a long trip for such a short visit but we didn't want to stay the night because my mom had to leave Sunday and it would add an hour and a half to her five hour drive. 8. She's coming back down (well, to the cabin anyway) in a few weeks. That's only an hour and a half drive north of here so I'll go up and meet her there. Yay. I have so much fun with my mom!

1. Dakota's got a game at 5:30 tonight. 2. She's scheduled to play against her little classmate. The girls have been looking forward to this game since we got schedules. 3. I spent half an hour looking for one black sock to her uniform. It was supposed to be in a pile on her dresser with the rest of the uniform but she had cleaned her room and couldn't tell me where she put it. Finally found it and got her uniform in the laundry (should have done that days ago!) 4. This morning me and the kids ran out and paid bills. That's always so not fun. 5. It was partially cloudy, a little windy, and cool. 6. We were only gone an hour or so and by the time we got home the wind was really picking up and it was cold. Had also gotten very cloudy. 7. For the past hour, it's been raining. Now we usually do have some cooler weather through March and April and wind, but this is downright nasty! 8. Kota's coach called awhile ago to warn us they may not have a game tonight. You think? I haven't said anything to her about that yet, she'll be disappointed not being able to play with her little classmate. 9. A couple minutes ago, Kota wandered outside and came right back in. Asked if she could wear long sleeves tonight. I guess it's about time I tell her she probably won't have a game, but dang I hate to see her disappointed about it!

1. Yesterday, I shopped. 2. Okay, so I looked at a lot of stuff. didn't come home with so much. I went to World Market and browsed for a super long time. They have such cool stuff. I bought a few little sushi dishes and a picture. 3. I went to Pier 1. Haven't been there in at least a year. They don't have bathroom stuff anymore! But they had this table that was $125 but has a scratch on top so was 50% off, plus an additional 25% off clearance stuff. So I bought it. I don't care about a scratch, espeially on natural wood that looks not so noticable! I put a plant on top of it! Oh, and I got a set of chopsticks for $3. 4. I went to Petco because I got a gift certificate, but Tuesdays are the days they get new fish in and I won't buy them until later. Fish that they just get in are so stressed and likely to develop illnesses a few days later. I like to see what they got on Tuesday, then wait till the weekend to get a fish to see if they're still doing okay. PetSmart gets theirs on Thursdays. The local stores I don't know, but I know they quarantine them for awhile before putting them on the floor so it doesn't matter as much. 5. Did I do much else? Hmmm..not really. I dropped off some old dishes and Goodwill and walked around there for awhile. 6. It's spring break, apparently, since I haven't been called to sub this week. i think it is anyway. I saw a lot of kids out yesterday and I assumed since they weren't in school where they should have been. 7. Our gas hit $2.19 yesterday. I never understand when there's two gas stations across from eachother and one has changed their price and the other hasn't yet, why do people go to the one that has the higher price? Mobil always are the first to raise it. I went to the Citgo across the street and watched people across the street paying more for the same gas. 8. I honestly don't really care about the price- I'll buy it, and they know it. Anyway, I have a small tank so yesterday's five cent increase only will cost me fifty cents more per tank and I waste more than fifty cents frequently on coffee and stuff at the gas station. 9. My mom sent a picture yesterday of her at her little fire she made in the back. They have quite a bit of snow left. I had to laugh- I wrote her back and asked if she was trying to melt all the snow away!
10. Well, that's about it I think. I have no idea what I'll do this afternoon, but I feel really good and refreshed today. Have a great day everyone!
