1. LOL, ack! Got to do 9!

2. Kids had their last day of school today! it was also report card day (one of my favorites, lol.)

3. Dakota did great, she got all 1's, O's (Outstandings,) and blank boxes (blanks means skills mastered.) Her teacher left a couple comments about how her confidence in her own abilities has increased and how much her reading level has improved. She was promoted to 2nd grade.

4. Caleb did well too. Couple of C's in reading (I knew from his vocab work, lol,) and writing. Biggest problem for him in both those subjects...his sloppy printing. He got B's in Social Studies and Health/P.E. and A's in Science and Math. His teacher commented that he needed to work on his printing and how confident she was that he would continue to do well next year in 4th grade. His teacher told me earlier this week she didn't think he'd have as much problem with the printing next year since in 4th they use only cursive and his is pretty good (better than his printing!)

5. Kota's teacher announced today she wouldn't be returning to our school next year. She is going to be teaching at the adult school. She'll be a great adult teacher. Dakota cried because she won't get to see her next year. She still goes to visit her kindergarten teacher (we just stopped by her room last week.)

6. I went over today to take some pictures of my neighbor's baby in her baptismal gown. It's very beautiful and she looks so cute in it. I got some good pictures, including one of the dress standing up by itself once we got the baby out of it, lol. It's got four layers of material to it!

7. Then we went to Dakota's closing ceremonies. The kids got their faces painted, got to "fish" for prizes, and got to jump in two different bouncy houses.

8. They were too cute out their recieiving their trophies. The little league board picked a really crappy time to have it though. Today has been cold and windy (it's graduation day, which is typically cold and windy here, lol.) Anyways, despite the wind blowing their hats off and most of the kids out there on the field freezing, they had a blast. Dakota was so proud of her trophy when we went shopping afterwards, she took it with her and showed it to everyone we passed.

9. Darren's all ready to go golphing in the morning, the kids are sleeping up for our busy day tomorrow, and my neighbor just ran over to grab our patio table to use for the party tomorrow. Since the baby is being baptised at 11 with the party immediately afterwards, they won't have much time in the morning to get set up so they were planning to do as much tonight as possible.

1. I'm really tired tonight - mostly physically.

2. I went across the border to OR, this afternoon to do some tax-free shopping for some new jeans. Bought a new pair because my one and only ones that fit me got a rip in the butt. This is a sure sign the weight has to come off.

3. After shopping, I head to Bob's. On my way there, I see a really sexy guy on a Harley with his long hair flapping in the wind, wearing a tank top and a leather vest pass by me in the opposite lane of the road. Then I realize, that was Bob!

4. I go to his house anyway and Nick, his son, is outside in the driveway, working on the car, and I ask him if that was his dad I just saw. Yep, sure enough.

5. So, I decide to go follow him - he went to his bank at Walmart. I saw the Harley parked right up front, and found a spot near it to park. I get out... (oh yeah, he doesn't know I came to visit him - a surprise) ... I get out, and start walking toward the bike, then I see him coming out... good timing. I'm looking at him and smiling as I'm walking toward him and the bike. He see's me, and as he's walking toward me and his bike, I see his whole body change, like as soon as it registered in his brain who was walking toward him, he smiled big, sorta slowed down and walked toward me like he was in a trance. LOL, I love it!!! So, we greet with a kiss and a embrace, and I said "surprise", and he said, "I'm not surprised", and I said, "your were too surprised. Your whole body changed when you saw me", and he said, "I didn't think I was that obvious". (snicker snicker... hahahaaa.)

6. A little later, after going back to his house, we got on the Harley and rode to his mom's house for a short visit, then went to Dairy Queen for a treat, then went for a ride around the countryside for a bit. I was wonderful, except my bum was very sore and numb by the time we got back to the house.

7. In other news, I made a new friend yesterday. His name is David. We met up at a free concert at a local park. He's really fun to be around, and I think we're going to have a blast doing stuff together. He knows all about Bob, and I mentioned him several times in our conversations. He would tell me to be quiet when talking about Bob, and then I said to him, "hey, this is the reality, Bob is a part of my life, and I can't not talk about him." So, David says, okay, but it's just that he wants to have somebody too, and I told him, he would find someone special. After the concert we went to a local bar for a drink and he told me how awesome this was because he could be himself. He said if this was a date, he'd be uptight, trying to impress, but instead there were no barriers, so we both could just be relaxed and have fun without that added awkwardness there is when you are meeting and dating someone new.

8. I have 4 nights a week set up where I walk with someone different each night. On Mondays, I'm hosting a single's walk in the park, in the evenings. On Tuesdays, I walk with my sister. On Wednesdays, I walk with Herb, and on Thursdays, I walk with Auntiemike! I should be in good shape in no time.

9. I have decided to do some volunteering at the local library. I went in Wednesday to fill out papers for a background check and stuff, and should be hearing back next week about when I get started. I'll be working in the children's section, checking to make sure the books are in the right place on the shelves. I sure hope my back can hold out for this.

10. Oh good grief, I took too long and War beat me to 9! ... so um anyway, I'm still practicing drawing, and I love the challenge it brings. Using the right side of the brain - you have to look and think differently when interpreting what you see into putting it on paper.

Okay, have a lovely Saturday factoiders!

Morning all

1. Last night Lisa's God parents and cousins came for her birthday. Today we are going to our neighbours place for a "joint" birthday party as their daughter and Lisa are only 1 week apart in age. We invited the other girl that goes to the same sitter as them and a couple of other younger kids. It is hard when they are 4 and they want a birthday party to invited friends. Especially when you live in the country, not in school yet and don't really have many friends yet lol. So That is today and then tomorrow we go to late church and then to Nicks parents place for fathers day. Everyone makes something and they will pick up KFC to eat. Hopefully the weather warms up, it has been so cold now this week after a very long heat wave. It cooled off,but too much lol

Have a wonderful day factoiders.

1. Morning Skootz! We are having 85 and sunny today, so it's on it's way back to you! This is the first sunny warm weekend this summer and I don't work! We are going to pick up rocks in the back yard of the new house, cut down brush and then spend the rest of the day lazing on the boat with Margarita's and Pina Colada's (the non alki kind) and then have a bonfire tonight. Casey is coming home! YAY!
2. I talked to my coworkers and I have rearranged my work schedule and now have Mondays OFF! So I actually have a 3 day weekend! Woo Hoo!
Somehow I got wrangled in to work next Monday (my Director wants me to go talk to some knowlegable person in another town about Street Fairs, and also have to work the parade on the 4th of July... but after THAT... all Mondays off! YAY!

1. Question is, why doesn't he like your dog Nic?

2. The Fire Marshal passed me in my shop inspection.

3. The Health inspectors want me to put an automatic hinge or spring connection on the bathroom door! What? It is a unisex bathroom with handicap access, and I'm wondering how a person in a wheelchair is going to manage a 36" door that won't stay open.

4. It is hot here already with the heat index at 83 degrees and never actually got cool last night

1. Uh, Gracie, I think that Fire Marshall pulled something funny. He wasn't supposed to inspect you, just the shop hon.

2. We have been having severe thunderstorms. Yikes!!! Yesterday was particularly rough.

3. I bought a rolodex Thursday. I have been fighting getting one for over a year cause I hate the look of them.

4. I rented Hitch, Are We There Yet and Beyond the Sea. Have to watch Beyond the Sea today. Enjoyed the other two.

5. Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful fathers here!!!

1. It's a beautiful and sunny day in Munich. You can read all about my trip to Dachau in the roadtrips thread.

2. I miss my cat.

3. I haven't seen TV since I got here.

4. I am hoping to get in shape while I'm here with all the walking and eating less---I hope.

5. Met some United flight crew on the S-Bahn. United has a new direct flight from Chicago to Munich. YIPPEE, another possibility!

6. I had yummy pork schnitzel and potato salad for supper in a nice park last night. AH! Love the summertime picnicking.

1. Happy Saturday Factoiders!

2. It's a gorgeous day outside and I'm forcing myself to go into work to have the peace and quiet to tie up some loose ends for my New Student Volunteer orientation program next week.

3. It's been almost one year since I've been in this role as the Student Coordinator for Volunteer Services Department at our hospital and it's finally feeling like my own program. I love working independently and seeing good outcomes.

4. Yesterday my sons informed me that they purchased 5 Dodger tickets for the June 27th game (Sandy Koufax night or something). All three kidlets (sons and dd) are going to present a gift bag filled with Cracker Jacks, Popcorn, a few brown pops, a Dodger T-shirt, etc, along with the Dodger tickets to their daddy for Father's Day. How sweet is that??!! And to top it off, they've included me on the package deal...lol!! It'll be like old times, going to Dodger stadium as a family again and I know that Egbob is going to get all sentimental about this fact. He loves when we can all be together for an activity.

5. Last night I saw Wicked at the Pantages Theater. I enjoyed the show...a cute and entertaining story about Oz's Wicked Witch of the West. It was filled with wonderful singing voices, adorable costumes, and creative sets. However, more than seeing this show, I thoroughly enjoyed being in the Pantages Theater! It's a beautiful theater!! I'm not a connoisseur of architectural design/decor but what I saw there just grabs at my heartstrings and speaks to me.

6. I'm into watching re-runs of the first season of Lost. It's basically the only TV show I watch as my sons have taken over the zapper...lol! Is it August yet?

7. Since my sons are home from college and are the current Masters of the TV Zapper, I've been doing a lot of reading! I'm going through a book a week easily.

7a. Have a great Saturday Factoiders!!

1) Hello TVCH'ers! I've missed being here.

2) I have been very sick with clostridium difficile which sent me to the hospital several weeks ago (diagnosed as intestinal spasms at the time). After getting better, I went with DH & DS to Charleston, SC for three days.

3) There I added E Coli on top of the clostridium which was diagnosed after the E Coli.

4) I am still not eating very much and the bathroom and I are verrry friendly!

5) But, I worked all of last week and am doing a bit better.

6) I want to congratulate Herkle and Ed on their new move, but am sad it isn't to NC! Nevertheless, congratulations to a very deserving couple.

7) I bought a new HP iPAQ with WiFi and Bluetooth. It's great, but can't figure out how to get me email on it or connect to WiFi. Any techies out their interested in helping me out?

8) Vee, thanks for stopping by my folder, I'll visit you soon!

8.1) Glad to be back to TVCH!

1. Glad that Eggie liked Wicked....Reiki is a big fan and so am I!

2. Read about my strange experience at church in the roadtrips thread.

3. Question of the day....would you spend 45-50 dollars to see Meatloaf? Iīm thinking that I would!

4. My left foot is swollen and I donīt know why except that Iīve been walking and standing quite a bit.

5. I have rebooked this International Haus again for 6 days in July...single room this time, but bathroom down the hall.

6. I have been alone in my four bed dorm so far. The bathroom is very tiny.

7. I am feeling alone and isolated. I need to have a FAST conversation with someone in English. Itīs really hard to not talk much when you are a talkative person!

9. Got a research poster accepted for a conference in North Carolina! Is there anyone here from North Carolina?

Auf Weidersehen, meinen Freunden!

1. i had a busy day yesterday. got up and had to go to meet the grandparents for a birthday celebration for my niece and my cousin (who wasn't there by the way...but we just HAD to do it yesterday)

2. after that, my niece's birthday party was at the ted e. bear factory (it's place like build-a-bear, but a little more reasonably priced).

3. mom and i actually built some animals....mom a unicorn and me a white liger (ok, it is a TIGER, but i try to use the word liger as often as possible.)

4. later on in the day, i went with a co-worker, to another co-worker's going away party. the guy who is moving is from laous, and is actually moving back to california where he already has a house.

5. i think all those people were trying to kill us! they were walking around with huge bottles of hennessy and some other potent stuff, and would not take no for an answer on taking shots! i had like 2-3 of them, and everytime after that when i saw one of them coming i'd either run away and go outside or to the ladies room.

6. finally around 11, i insisted on leaving while i was sober (we got there around 6:30) and before someone came over there and made me drink another shot. whew.

7. that stuff really did a number on my stomach, and let's just say i've been in the bathroom a few times between last night and now.

8. there was this one guy there that WOULD NOT stop talking, and pair that with the fact that we couldn't understand what he was saying anyway. and i had asked my co-worker's brother who was also hosting the party, who the heck that guy was, and he said "ignore him - nobody like". ROFL! and my coworker was trying to tell the motor-mouth guy something, and he kept on talking! finally my co-worker said "SHHHHH!" and put his finger to his mouth. LOL

9. i am very close to having my washer and dryer ready to use. the dryer is good to go, but i can't seem to get the washer hoses tight enough, plus the knob to one of the water faucets came off...ack! i need to get this done pretty quick, so i can do my laundry today.

10. am i the only one here who doesn't know what a brown pop is? does that mean like, dr pepper or something?

1. LOL, jbeanie came in here to ask about my "brown pop" comment...lol!!

2. Last night I was looking forward to popping in a DVD or starting a new novel to read (the Masters of the Zapper were gone for the evening) but Egbob informs me that he forgot to tell me we were invited to a house party hosted by one of his co-workers.

3. So I cleaned up a bit and off we went. We had a lot of fun! I only had one drink which was pretty potent - some type of tropical punch filled with rum...very good!...and Egbob had a few brown pops. Plus there was tons of food - so many choices! And then to top it off, they had this awesome karaoke unit which was the hit of the party!

3a. I love when the unexpected turns out to be unexpectedly tons of fun!!

3b. Hermi, I hope you'll be feeling better soon!

1. This week has flown by, as with Eggie, our sons dominated the TV and there were even times we found ourselves watching them battle it out on PS2. Well, it was good to see them doing things together.

2. All the parties are done, all the grandparents have been visited, all the pictures have been taken. Now Devin is packing to head off to the airport.

3. After Devin boards his flight this evening, we don't know when we'll see him again. It'll be the reverse of picking him up, I will have to remember I don't get the last hug any more than I got the first hug when he came home. (Which by the way was no problem since I'm not in as good as shape as Future DIL and couldn't have run as fast or jumped as high as she did anyway! LOL!)

4. Tim and I didn't sleep much last night. It comes down to neither one of us knowing how we are supposed to send our son to war. I'm quite sure it runs against every tenet of parenthood. We've decided to keep it light and cheerful so he remembers smiles and support most clearly. I can't promise smiles in the car on the way home from the airport though, I plan on sticking a new box of tissues in the van.

1. (secretsmile) You are the BEST mom I know.

2. My hubby is the BEST dad I know. I haven't mentioned it around here, but starting about two weeks ago, my youngest two sons started calling Hugh "Dad". We've been together 10 years and married 5. They have a biological dad who they see on ocassion. We have never pushed anything about names. They have always called him Hugh. It made father's day kinda special for him I think to hear "Happy Father's Day Dad"

3. It's been an awful week with too many facts for this thread. I hope tomorrow starts to look up.

4. My 86 year old neighbour is in hospital and not well. I have known him and his wife for 35 years. They love eachother so much. We are quite worried about both of them. I am going to sleep at her house tonight as she said she would be aftaid to be alone. Bless her heart.

5. Exams start soon. Stress level is pretty high around here. I am glad summer is just around the corner.

Fondly

1. I was awoken by 2 eager girls who wanted to wish me a Happy Fathers day.

2. I got a card, a new shirt and a new Star Wars figure for my collection.

3. The card was a SpongeBob Squarepants card that had a sticker in it that said, "Best Dad, on land or sea!"

4. I have to wear the sticker they said.

5. I have part 4 of Zoe's story up in my folder.

6. I hope y'all are enjoying the weekend.

1. We just got back from brunch at the Claremont in Berkeley.

2. I think someone will have to roll me around for the next week because I am way too full!

3. We went for my godmother's birthday but it was our father's day celebration too.

4. Tonight we are barbecuing shish kebobs but I don't know if I can even look at food!

5. The mimosas weren't too bad either.

6. The day was lovely and the skies were clear so from our table, you could see San Francisco and the Golden Gate bridge. Beautiful view.

7. Now, I am heading to Nick's folder to read chapter 4.
