1. Herk, you amaze me, with your busy life that you can keep up with all the great people here and wish them well. Hope the move goes smoothly! 2. Mocha is braver than I could ever be, I have never had to do a presentation except a speech in college. 3. Welcome to all the newcomers, I love reading about other people's lives so keep me posted! 4. I celebrated the 4th with my three daughters and my 4 grandchildren. 5. The 3 oldest gc loved the fireworks but our little Joey(5 months) had to go inside. 6. I'm still missing my mom who died from kidney cancer Nov.14, 2004. I can't believe that a year ago today we didn't even know about her cancer. 7. The holidays seem to stir up my feelings, she always made sure we had fun holidays~~thanks mom! 8. My dh put the finishing touches on our master bath and now I have a few finishing touches to do and then start on our bedroom. 9. We have been having beautiful weather all week and I hope it continues.

1. I finally picked up my new glasses today. They're for far-away seeing (especially when I drive LOL). They are the first new frames I've had in 15 years. Gold wire rims. Looks OK. A bit hard to get used to. 2. I forgot to put my earrings in today. Ugh! I hate that.

1. I think I can handle 4 facts. As a newbie, I don't want to offend the schticklers. 2. My DH had a job interview yesterday. It is quite the selection process. 300 people applied, it got narrowed down to 50. Those 50 went yesterday and wrote an essay. 35 people were selected for aptitude testing and then given a time for a verbal interview. 3. DH is one of the 35 and will go back July 19. Keep your fingers crossed for him. He has a good job right now, but this is what he wants to do and pays more money. 4. Just came back from a lunch date with DH. He took me to this place that overlooks the whole city. It was fantastic.

1. I don't know how I did this. I have all of my nieces and nephews here today, including my own two that would be: an almost 10 year old, a 9 year old, an 8 year old, two 6 year olds, an almost but not quite there yet 5 year old, a 26 month old and a 20 month old. I do know how I ended up with them, lol, but not how I did this: 2. The oldest six are outside playing...quietly! I keep running out and checking on them, they are not doing anything wrong, they are sitting out in the grass playing a game. Together. No fighting, no yelling, no tattling. Quietly! 3. I have one baby on one couch, she's been asleep about an hour. I have the other baby on the other couch, she's been asleep about 15 minutes. I also have Darren in bed taking a nap, lol. He's off the next two days and I need his help tonight for a project, so he told me he was going to lay down. For having 8 kids, I have no idea how my house is this quiet and how everyone is playing so well together! 4. This past weekend we took the kids to dinner. On our way out, we passed one of Caleb's school buddies having dinner with his parents. On the last day of school, Caleb was hoping to exchange phone numbers with the boy because he lives around the corner, but he wasn't there. So, we run into them at the Chinese restaurant and exchange numbers. 5. We've had a pretty rough week so far, and I haven't gotten around to calling to invite the boy over to play. Today his dad called and introduced himself and wanted to know if either Caleb could come over there or his son could come here. We decided to have his boy come here Saturday morning so that we can get to know his parents and they can get to know us (up til now all I've ever seen of them has been at school, hi, bye, how ya doing? type stuff.) Caleb's so excited he just doesn't know what to do, lol. The funniest part was that about half an hour later I was out front with the kids and the dad drove by. He looked kinda sheepish when he saw me out there, pulled over and said he was on his way out and just thought he'd drive by and make sure he could find the house. Hehe, then he asked me if all the kids were mine! I had to bite my tongue, 8 children under the age of 10, I don't think so, LOL! Seems like nice enough people though, I especially like the fact that before leaving his son here they want to come over and meet us. That makes me comfortable.

1. Hi Serenity and Sewmommy, just so you know, I'm totally playing with you! 2. I'm one of the original schticklers on this thread but I've been so busy in rl, that I haven't been around much to introduce myself with facts about me. 3. And now I see that landi has the schtickling under control, so I'll be removing myself from this stressful, yet oh-so-fun job! 4. And before I depart as an official schtickler, let me remind you that it was Mware who informed us that we've been spelling stickler wrong...lol!! 5. I'll post again in a day or two and test landi's schtickling skillz.... 6. So...okay, I'm back sooner than I thought...War beat me to 5...lol!

1. Serenity, good luck to your DH. And War, wow, 8 kids and quiet. It is a miracle! 2. I spent the afternoon at the pool and got sunburned. I thought I had a better base tan than that and got careless and stayed out too long. Oh well, serves me right. I'll be slathering on the aloe vera lotion tonight. 3. I'm not a huge Big Brother fan, but I enjoy the banter on the boards. I only hope I remember to watch it tomorrow! 4. I went by my sister's tonight. My nephew is camping today through Saturday with his dad and his cub scout troop. My sister and I are going to a family cookout hosted by the troop on Friday night. It should be fun! 5. I have a confession. I got still more of my hair cut off yesterday. I'm being shy about posting a picture because it is much shorter than I am used to and the blonde is all gone and the difference is huge! 6. Every time I look in the mirror, I have to do a double take. I'm not sure I like it, but I think it is just adjustment period. It is what I said I wanted, after all. All the blonde gone so I could give my natural color a chance to do its thing! It looks curly and tousled. 7. Eggie beat me.... okay, what else... oh, I know-- I have plenty of pictures for my update idea for tomorrow night, but if you have a picture somewhere on the board and you DON'T want me to use yours, you may want to drop me a line because I pulled pictures from all over.

1. I want to see Hermie's hair. Email me a pic! 2. I am going to go and soak in a nice hot tub. 3. I just want to relax and put my jammies on and feet up. 4. I am hoping to finish the book that I am reading. 5. It's taken a couple of weeks to get through this book. And that's way too much time for me. 6. I usually finish a book every 2 days. 7. I have a stack of about 30 waiting to be read and I ordered some more. 8. I plan on still getting reading in even though it's BB time.

1. I'm planning a trip to Disneyworld for our family 2. Tomorrow/Thurs marks the 90 day mark - I have to get up at 5:45AM to call Disney for a seat at Cinderella's Castle. 3. They have so many seats = 634 breakfasts are served daily. 4. Maybe 8,000 people start calling at 7AM EST to get a table! (I want a table for 4) 5. Oh and the best/choicest time is 8:05AM - you get in the Magic Kingdom BEFORE anyonee else, walk down Mainstreet, just you... can you imagine taking that picture??? *Sigh I have reservations for the Halloween Party! 6. DH applied for a job a month ago... today he found out the guy that they extended an offer to, turned DOWN THE JOB!! May dh get the opportunity... 7. I also have to pack to go camping in the woods for one week! We leave Sat (and I'll have 2 more reservations to make for Disney!!) 8. DS called from camp (both my DS's are camp counselors) apparently one young staff member was unhappy, and set the Bungalow on Fire (NO ONE WAS HURT!) 9. Those bungalows are shacks - they have canvas sides, fit bunk beds, and a couple of chairs, and that's about it!! (Rats I forgot to post an important fact! Should I combine, or... nah, maybe tomorrow!!)
