1. I am home, and exhausted
2. Still have bags to unpack from me and the girls
3. Play was O.K. a little disappointed in story itself, but was great to get away
4. Have a major oil leak in the van ( we just got transmission done less than 3 months ago) there is a trail down the road 1/4 mile - guess I won't be driving that anytime soon
5. Off to the neighbours place this afternoon as our London Knights Junior A hockey team will be playing a game to see who wins the Memorial cup, which is the Canadian Championship cup. The great part about this is that London is the host for this years even and it would be great if they could win it.

1.9876 OK, I'm at my parents, I'm tired and my one fact is for you to look at the road trips thread for my latest saga! Hugs to everyone, I think I'll be offline for a week.

1. Its been a very busy few days. Thursday I chaired a very successful Open House at our school. We had a great turn out and there was even enough snacks left over for students to have treats at break time on Friday.

2. Hubby and I went with our best friends to a
Blue Rodeo concert on Thursday night. Unfortunately my friend got bitten by something at dinner, and within hours was having an extreme reaction. We ended up in the local emergency department. It was scarey how very fast it all happened.

3. We attended a friend's 40th birthday party on Saturday night. We sang Kareoke and had a blast. I loved the 70s and 80s.

4. Today I went for lunch with my former student, the newly published author. Her book is being so well received and she is even fielding phone calls for tv movies about her book. It is quite wonderful to see someone living out their life dream. She deserves all the good things that are happening to her. She is a special lady.

5. Managed to squeeze in a coffee with an old friend that I bumped into on Friday night shopping. Its great to have the kind of friendships where no time is lost and people just pick up from where they left off. I look forward to decaf skim cafe lattes in the future. We laughed that we both love them so much.

6.Came home to find my wonderful hubby preparing a gourmet meal on the barbeque. Steak and shrimp, salad and veggies. Its always so good to have someone else cook for you....especially someone so darn goodlooking in a barbeque apron!

Fondly
Wappy

1. After a few months of serious work stress, I'm starting to clear my head out today.

2. We took our JRT to a "fun day" where he got to race about 10 times -- and he LOVED it and is quite fast, too! He ended up running with some of the "pros" by the end of the day, and still held his own. I'll probably post some photos tomorrow.

3. IT IS ONLY 4 DAYS UNTIL THE LYLE LOVETT ACOUSTIC CONCERT! Yay! Last time I saw him in concert was probably like 8 or 9 years ago.

4. I'm still on east coast time and tired.

5. A couple we are close friends with just got a puppy. Tomorrow we're going to have a "puppy play date." I hope my JRT is agreeable -- he usually is, but sometimes has to show puppies he's "boss."

6. I'm reading Harry Potter AGAIN in preparation for the new book in July.

7. I'm really glad I have off work tomorrow.

1. After a couple of weeks of hot weather (over 90 degrees) it started to cool down last night. Today was windy and cooler, tonight downright cold.

2. Caleb had an awful birthday. Most of the family couldn't come (at least during the party.) Neighbors showed up just as he was leaving for his night at the baseball stadium, but they did stay for almost two hours after he got home.

3. He had fun at the game. They got to play some games, won some prizes, and got ice cream. Plus our team won.

4. Today was a lazy day. We spent the day watching Star Wars movies and not much else.

5. Tomorrow we're thinking about going to the park. i'm hoping it won't be too crowded, but I'm betting with it being Memorial day it will be.

6. Kids have 14 more school days left! How the heck did tha happen? This last trimester has just flown by.

7. Caleb has to make a couple Native American people tomorrow. They're building villages or tee pees or something in class for a sociology/history project (they've been learning about Native American cultures for the past couple weeks.)

8. Puppy play dates are fun, Yank. Whenever we get my sisters almost 2 year old JRT here with Harvey, it always ends the same. He sits and watches her bounce, run, and yap around him all the while she pretends to be a vicious big dog before he gets tired of it and sits on her. He'll let her up and she'll wander off to play somewhere else, then she comes back and it starts all over again, lol.

1. Today is my oldest daughters birthday, Julia is 8 today.

2. We got the van towed yesterday morning and there was a slit in the transmission line. We got it back late yesterday afternoon. Thank goodness that it was nothing else major as we just put in a new transmission less than 3 months ago. And also another blessing, I was away this past weekend, and drove back just the girls and I. The line broke 1/4 mile from home. I could of been in real trouble if it broke earlier.

3. Pool is up to 68 degrees - and the outside of the deck is being built by our friend after he is done work daily. We hopefully will have stairs tonight

4. Middle daughters class trip is today and I am going along with them, I am not a fan of the place they are going to, however after asking dd whether she wanted me to go or not, I am going lol.

5. Weather is suppose to be nice today, a chance of shower this afternoon, but hopefully it will be a small chance and after 3pm when we are back on the bus going back to the school

6. My mom and dh's parents are coming for supper. Julia has no knowledge of this so she will be excited to see them.

7. She wanted pizza for her birthday dinner, so that makes it easy for me as I will pick up pizza on my way home.

8. The framers are working hard on the barn, I didn't get to go there yesterday to see the progress or for pictures.

9. Well I am off to a busy busy day.

Take care all!

I'll do ten, since I haven't in awhile.

1. Vacation is going way to fast, I mean...it's already Tuesday and I have to be back to work next Monday...sheesh.

2. I put some poison out on my lawn yesterday to keep all the creepy crawly's away. You're supposed to put it out before it rains...well, it looked like it would rain all morning and as my luck would have it...I put the stuff out and then the sun shines through.

3. I was out in the yard all morning watering my lawn because of this. The poison has to be wet in order for it to work right. The bag says its supposed to be safe for animals and children after a couple days.

4. My daughters are going nuts because they can't go play in the yard.

5. Think we might take them to the local park today, so they can run off some energy.

6. Since I am on Vacation, I thought I would work some more on the story of Zoe. Part 2 should be up this evening or maybe tomorrow.

7. Went up to my moms for memorial day. Had fun...she put me to work tilling up her garden and hauling tree bark for her flower beds.

8. I never had a green thumb, but my mom and granny can make rocks grow.

9. sheesh...10 facts are alot.

10. My life isn't exciting enough to have 10 facts at any given moment. :D

1. Tomorrow is our 10th anniversary (me and Ms Sweetpea). The years fly by so quickly! We'll be celebrating at our fave special restaurant, the one we always go to on June 1.

2. I love Landi's new anti-schtickler numbering system.

1. Now that I'm finished with the rock and the apron, I don't know what to do with myself. I'm so bored, and not working, not being able to, is making me depressed. I keep thinking about other projects I can work on and trying to decide which it will be, but am lacking a real reason for doing it.

2. I had a great time with Bob and his kids the other night when I went to celebrate his birthday. He loves the rock and apron, and his son, Nick went crazy over it.

3. I sure hope I can find something to fulfill my time and give me a sense of purpose. My emotions are a huge obstacle I'm trying hard to overcome.

1. I'm back from my weekend trip to Seattle!
2. I go up there at least once a year if not more, and packed as I always do for "Seattle weather"
3. The first two days of our trip it reached nearly 90 degrees and we were backing in our jeans and T-shirts....sheeshh...
4. Lesson learned....never try to predict "Seattle weather" cause you'll be out about $80 after buying shorts and flip-flops you should have just packed!

1. LOL, but at least you got some new clothes, Silly! Did you have fun?

2. Caleb's team won their game tonight, the first in the playoffs series. Yay for them!

3. We're still trying to figure out how to do both the game and open house thats the same night. He doesn't want to miss his playoff game, but also doesn't want to miss open house since they've been doing a couple projects that he can't wait to show us.

4. We got our first hot weather electric bill (meaning we've been running the cooler a lot the last couple of weeks) and amazingly enough it is only $94! Next month it'll probably double at least but for this month it's exciting, lol.

5. I think I'll wash my car tomorrow and detail the inside. It may be a tank but it's gonna look good, lol!

1. I'm having a love/hate relationship with physical therapy. I love going because it gets me out of the house and I love my PT guy (he's young and cute! LOL) but its also painful. But progress is being made.

2. I'm so bored that I told hubby I want to start working again. I know I'm not supposed to but I don't care. Forget SS disability. Hubby got so excited he found me a job that night! I said let's at least wait til I can walk. LOL Now I'm thinking about a summer of BB and maybe I spoke too soon. LOL

3. We just got a small fridge for upstairs to make my life easier. I love it! Its a good size: 4.3 cubic feet and has a freezer. Our big fridge is downstairs and I can't get to it so this is very exciting.

4. Thursday we go to the doc about hubby's diabetes. His numbers are all over the place and seem to make no rhyme or reason. And of course I'm going to tell on him. He is not doing what he's supposed to. He wants to pay someone to cut the grass and if anyone needs exercise its hubby. Grrrrr. Its not like we have the huge yard we used to.

5. I'm really looking forward to this summer. London, OT in July, Rochester in August (I hope), and Orlando in Sept. for Sierra's first birthday. Wherever I go to work they are just gonna have to understand that I have these plans made.

6. I'm still trying to get caught up on the board. I have about a week of updates to read yet. The ladies who do the updates are my heroes. You Rock! Goodnight, TVCH!

6.1. TV really sucks now that all the good shows are over for the season. Come on BB!

Morning all

1. Yesterday was a busy day

2. Went on a school field trip with dd, she and I had a wonderful time. She basically told me that the best part of her day was spending it with me. How sweet, however it just basically tells me that I need to spend more time with the kids individually. Which is hard to do.

3. Got back to the school, picked up kids and pizza and headed back home to my mom, her friend and in-laws for a little party for Julia.

4. After supper and cake, we hit the pool for the first time.

5. The weather was awesome and the pool was up to 71 degrees. It was around 60 on Sunday and put the solar blanket on it and it has heated up quick. It was wonderful.

6. It is hard to believe that there is actually a pool in our back yard. It is tricky to get in and out of due to the fact there are no stairs yet, but we just love it.

7. We have someone coming over this afternoon to discuss possible contract hog feeding for him when our barn is finished. This is what we would really like to do for the first while as it would save us the cost of buying the pigs and feed. Money which we don't really have right now.
Please keep positive thoughts this afternoon.

Have a great day all

1. Skootz, your girls are precious! (The contract sounds as if it would be amazing! )

2. My nieces called at 9:00 pm and invited their mom and me to a late supper...parmesan chicken, whole wheat pasta, marinara sauce, salad, Italian bread, and raspberry parfaits for dessert...delightful!

3. I love changing the calendar to June. I actually get a little rush about checking out the new page.

4. Another overcast day in Maine.

5. My daughter brought by my Mother's Day gift...a big barn star...all rusty and with paint peeling just the way I like'em.

6. Fioré, my cat, skittered around my bedroom all night like a wild thing so I am bleary-eyed this morning.

7. I have been spending too much time at the Clubhouse again.

8. Just learned that this year's Miss Universe is none other than Miss Canada! Congratulations, Canada! Beating out all the Latin beauties is quite an accomplishment. <grin>

1. It's been forever since I've been in this thread...hope y'all have been good little Factoiders!

2. Hmmm....just did some peeking and I see that landileigh got very creative...hee-hee!

3. Nick, I read Part 2 and it moved me to tears. You are such a good daddy to your girls and they are so lucky to have you and your wife for their parents!!

4. Skootz, congratulations on that first dip!! I know the girls...well, all of you, are going to enjoy it so much over the summer! Don't forget those "brown pops".

5. I've got two houseguests for the summer. DS#1 and DS#2. I spend $233.00 at Sam's Club last Saturday to stock up on all the goodies required for such visits.

6. DS#1 will be doing an internship with an aerospace company over the summer and we're all happy for him.

7. DS#2 will be volunteering his time off and on over the summer up at a youth camp. He gets room and board, meals and a little stipend. Plus he'll be able to come home off and on, so we'll get to spend some time with him.

8. I'm busy as heck at work, pre-interviewing high schoolers who've applied to volunteer at our hospital. Each one has brought something new and fresh to the table and I've really enjoyed getting to meet and speak with them.

9. I bought myself a PDA to hopefully help keep me more organized...lol!! I had to move heaven and earth to get our hospital's IS Department to agree with the downloading hookup from my work PC to my PDA. It's amazing that the technology is available and the decision hasn't been made to allow employees to use these devices. I pushed and pushed and got my way...and I was asked by the Director of IS to "keep it under the radar". "Sure" I said. Little does he know that I am a Survivor fan and I know how to stay UTR.

1. Ack, thought Eggie had written 10! But I think I can yammer thru 10. Glad to see you back in here, Eggie! Good for you on the PDA! You've now officially left me in the technology dust!

2. I came here cuz I am so tickled. I finally, finally, have some work possibilities from Elance again. Just got 8 separate invitations to bid on work! (And this time I know I can handle it--had to ignore a couple of previous ones that hit when I went home to see/care for my mom.

3. Ed called and said the interview went really, really well. Whew! I am thinking I will see him around 5:30 my time.

4. I have a ton of turkey in the fridge and am already sick of it. Gulp. Guess Ed can put a good dent in it, though. Did you know that turkey meat is not good for dogs?

5. I can't wait for the Hit Me Baby One More Time show on Thursday at 9. Hope it is fun.

6. Uh, I have Eggie beat. I spent $388 on groceries a few days ago. I almost croaked. I did buy two weeks worth of food. But I don't normally go through that in one purchase. Gulp.

7. Herc and I saw the fox again today at the cemetery. He was running down the dirt road where we always look for him. Luckily, we had just pulled up and I took my time opening the car door for Herc. No doggie/fox incidents to report.

8. The temp here is now 68. and next week I hear it will be in the high 70s. Wah. I don't like that! If I ever have to strike out on my own, I'm gonna move near Juju, who promises me 50ish weather most of the time.

9. My mother was taken to the ER by ambulance last Sunday and I just learned about it two days ago. At 2 a.m., she evidently awakened with terrible, terrible pain near her incision area. Course, it went away before the ambulance arrived. (You never know, though.) Nothing was discovered after they ran a bunch of tests. And she's been feeling okay since.

10. The people above me have a balcony over our patio area. They have about 5 bird feeders hanging. As you can guess, I have seed hulls all over my little patio--both from the breeze and from the messy birds. Now I don't complain, cuz I know the people's intentions are good. But it is a pain to have to sweep up all the seeds hulls every day. I figure if that my main grumble today, things are pretty good!

1. I got a phone call at 11:00pm last night from daughter. I hate late night phone calls. They worry me to death.

2. She said that she was sorry to bother me so late, but that she had a burning question and needed my help.

3. "No problem, Babe. What do you need? (I swear I'm not making this up...who could make up this stuff!) She says..."Was the Flying Nun's name Gidget?"

1. I am still excited about my upcoming move, but...

2. I have been on the phone all day canceling service in one place and setting up service for another.

3. I finally got movers in place. Not taking the cheap route this time. Actually paying for professionals.

4. Why is the cable company's phone number busy??? I must have DVR in place when I move in.
