1. Sunday will be 18 years (OMG, where did the time go????) to the day that I met Darren.

2. How the heck is it that with my nephew who is the same age as Caleb, my niece who is the same age as Kota, and the neighbor kids here playing, my kidlets still come running in the house every 3 minutes to complain or whine that they are bored????

3. I've got a sinus headache that isn't going away, so think I'm a bit grumpier than normal.

4. I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend, no running around, and no need to be anywhere until Sunday afternoon.

1. I am a DUMB*SS
2. I just realized that my check from the school district I just got a check from WAS NOT direct deposit!

3. That means I threw almost $400 away.

4. It's not in the trash...I must have taken out the trash on Wednesday after I got it to the dumpster with the stub in it, and with the check.

5. I suck. :-(

1.12345 Kaili can you request a new one? One of the girls I worked with did that several years ago, lost her check and asked for a new one, I know it took a few weeks to get it back, but she eventually got most of it (minus the fees to cancel the first check.)

1. Kaili, it happens. Don't beat yourself up, sweetie. You can get another one issued.

2. I'm off to the beach today. I hope everyone has a nice weekend and a good week next week.

3. I can't wait to play in the ocean with my nephews and nieces!

1. Yesterday was amazing! Last Monday a restaurant we frequent called to say Happy B-day and invited me to a free dinner anytime this week. So we went yesterday and I had a free dinner of lobster tails AND they brought me out a whole b-day cake! Wow!

2. Plus, I noticed that they added something new: a chocolate fountain! I told the waitress that I had never experienced one and she brought me over some marshmallows to try it out and hubby took a pic. I almost hate to post this since I was really beat and having a bad hair day but the fountain is too pretty to pass up:
fountain

3. Also, I got a book in the mail and hubby said there are 3 more on the way! I also found some much needed hair straightenener at Wal-Mart and got some other hair accessories so I'll never have another bad hair day! (yeah right LOL)And hubby got me $100 worth of hanging flowers and more flowers to go in the ground and 12 bags of red mulch. The front yard at least will look great. All in all it was a great day!

4. Today we still have to go out and get neice a grad gift and go to her party tonight. I can't wait! Happy weekend, everyone!

1. I love going to the ocean ... Bodega Bay or Fort Bragg especially.

2. But the beach here in California is so cold!

3. We put our feet in the water and that's about it. We'll have our jackets on with bare feet.

4. I wouldn't want to go into the ocean ... don't like the idea of the fish and stuff swimming around me.

4.1 I was digging in the backseat of my car while Tim was poking around in his car. I swear I screamed like I won the lottery. LOL. What a relief. I know I would have still gotten it, but I kind of needed it now. Whew!

4.2 Getting ready to head up to the cabin to meet my mom. Yay.

4.3 We went out for breakfast for the first time in months. I think eggs are disgusting because of what they are but thought I'd try them and see if I like them again (I used to). I don't like pancakes and I like waffles but I don't like sugary breakfasts. So I got an omelette. I tried for awhile to eat it and got a few bites in, but I had some on toast and got a good look at it before I took a bite. I was done. Eggs are just gross looking and all I can think of is (this is kind of gross) that I'm consuming dead, fried up chicken embryos. Ugh.

4.4 The library says I have some book checked out that I don't remember ever checking out called Dance of Shiva or something. I must have supposedly had it for awhile because it's due on Monday. Honestly that doesn't even sound like a book I would be likely to check out.

4.5 I'm being sneaky and difficult here, but this was my five facts.

1. After spending a lovely evening with Jmm and Dra's family at the wedding, I came home and posted here a couple of times. I couldn't go to sleep.

2. Finally around 2 am I conked out.

3. At 6 am I got up to get ready for a parade. A lady from my shop's neighborhood homeowner's association invited me to participate in their annual Patriotic Neighborhood Parade.

4. My entry was a little red wagon brightened up with red, white and blue hearts, stars, bows, tassels, and lots of U. S. flags and I included a Texas flag. Inside the wagon was a penguin dressed in his Uncle Sam finery plus flyers, candy, plastic necklaces, more flags, and red/white/blue tiny footballs to hand out to the onlookers. One of my employees (to be) joined me in the walk. We were told it would be one and a half miles. Not! It was four, but that was okay. The walk back was not quite as long.

5. There were at least a hundred people riding bikes, driving golf carts or lawn tractors pulling decorated trailers, strollers, full size tractors, and antique cars plus several fire trucks and emergency units. When the parade finished we were at the sponsor's house and had an old fashioned picnic with the Star Spangled Banner, the Pledge of Allegiance, a tribute to the veterans, and I got special recognition for Cool Beans! Everyone was so nice.

1. I am jealous of Twinkie and all of that chocolate!!!!
2. Today i went up to Apple Hill with my dd, friend and her son.
3. I bought tons of fresh produce from the farmers-plums,corn,cherries,apples,potatoes and apricots to name a few.
4. I also bought some homemade salsa and hot sauce called DEATH for my brother-he loves hot stuff.
5. There is a fourth of July celebration going on in my town today, but for the first time since 1992 we are not attending.
6. Sometimes I like the weekends here at TVCH because I can take the time to catch up on all of the threads....and other times I find the lack of posts to be a bit lonely

1. i've had a busy weekend! from the time i left work friday afternoon, til now i've been on the go!

2. friday afternoon, i called my college roomie who just had a baby a little over a month ago...who i still hadn't seen. (or their house they bought in like november! . so i called her and asked if she would be home, and that if so i was coming over....she was! YAY! the baby is SO CUTE. her name is madison, and she actually liked me! (most babies start crying right after i pick them up, lol!) not her! also took lola with me to their house and they all loved her, too.

3. i got back to my town (she lives a little over an hour away) at around 10pm, dropped the dog off at my sister's for the weekend, because i was going to see my friend sing (riding with her) to her hometown.

4. left to go to my friend's house saturday morning by 7:45 (yuck, but it was worth it...3 and 1/2 hour drive!) she has to check people in at jazzercise on saturday mornings, so i waited in the car while she did that, then we were off!

5. we hung out with her mom and dad and left late in the afternoon to go to their rehearsal (where they were playing was still another hour and a half away). they did such a good job. my friend is such a great singer. usually she gets a pretty good crowd and they love her! last night was no exception. they booked her again for later in the year!

6. we didn't get back to my friend's parents house til after midnight and we all were pooped! i slept so good that i dont' think i moved at all! it was really easy to make the bed.

7. we left to head back home around 12:30pm and got home around 4pm (the drive back always seems longer than the drive there) and i've gone to the grocery store and to get dog, and now i'm finally home, and the weekend is OVER! ack! why do they go so fast???? :-(

hope all of you factoiders have had a great weekend!

1. Givin' a shout out to Kaili...I can imagine how relieved you were.

2. I haven't been in the facts thread much lately.

3. Guess I got burned out.

4. Zoe had a speech evaluation the other day. They are going to call with the results Monday. I'm sure it went off without a hitch. We know she's nasaly because of her palate, but the therapist made it a point to tell my wife how smart Zoe is and that her vocabulary is above normal for her age and that she uses more adjectives than most kids her age does.

5. I forgot to post that Zoe had an ENT evaluation a couple of weeks ago. The ENT doctor told us that her Palate repair from when she was 18 months, (I think it was 18 months..I'll be sure to clarify when I get to that chapter in Zoe's story) is starting to split and they are going to have to go in a do some more work on it; possilbly next spring.

6. My wife has been at her new job for nearly 90 days now. After 90 days she'll get an evaluation and a raise. YAY! We could all use a raise.

7. Had yearly evaluation at my job last Tuesday. Don't know how much of a raise I'll get but I'll find out sometime in the middle of July.

8. My mom kept the girls last night...My wife worked...so what did I do? I shampoo'd the carpets. I know...all of you are jealous.

1. LOL Nick! Hate to say it but the best time to shampoo the carpets is when everyone else is gone!

2. Congrats Kaili! I'm so glad you found it and don't have to wait on a reissued check!

3. Today we went to my nephews birthday party. It was great fun, the kids played with water (balloons, slip n slides, and water guns) most of the day.

4. It was very surreal though. None of the grandparents (our parents) were there.

5. Now used to, when all us kids (siblings, friends, cousins) got together without parents well it was a party, lol. Loud music, some alcohol, goofing off type stuff.

6. Here we are now. I look around and everyone's got kids. Sis and bil with their two girls, one of the cousins with his girls and a niece, other bro with his boys, a friend with their brand new baby boy (who is too cute with a head full of hair!)

7. Music is quieter, theres no alcohol, and the goofing around is centered on the kids. I don't know why it never really hit me before now since most of us have had children for years.

8. It was like I was looking around for the adults and realized we are the adults! LOL, how sad is that at 32??? But for a minute it was just like when we were teenagers and in our early 20's hanging out. Same people, same music, same good times only now we all have kids running around, lol.

9. Despite a few injuries some of the kids suffered (including Caleb who had all the men groaning in sympathy and telling him not to be ashamed about crying cuz getting hit with a football "there" hurt like heck) all of the kids had a great time. They were so worn out by the time we left that Dakota had to be carried to the car.

1. I am going to try for 10, but its been a while.

2. Things have been just crazy lately. All I've done is go to the funeral home or hospital. I guess life is like that sometimes. I wish it weren't but it is. Anyway, today is Monday, the start of a new week, and things are looking brighter.

3. Yesterday, I spent some time in my garden. Long overdue. I also cut the lawn and trimmed. It all looked so lovely with the evening sun shining on it. Many of my flowers are in full bloom. It really helped.

4. Hubby and I watched the TLC show The Boy who Lost his Skin. What a remarkable young man. I found his words quite inspirational. We are all here to learn a lesson. Makes me ponder what mine might be. Surviving renovations?!?!?!?!

5. Speaking of renovations, floor is STILL not in. Apparently it is on back order, all of which makes me slightly nervous, however, hubby keeps telling me all will be well. So my house still looks in pieces....grrrrrrr

6. Oldest two boys finished their exams on Friday. Hooray for them and us! They are off to work this week to earn MONEY. They already have half of it spent, but that keeps them motivated. Brett, the youngest is still in school.

7. My final students graduate on Thursday. They have been a great group and I am going to miss them. We have a special graduation party planned for Thursday. I will be doing cirriculum development and teaching an EXCEL course for the first 2 weeks in July, then its summer holidays for me baby!

8. We are going camping for the Canada Day weekend. We bought a new tent, with two rooms. The kids are so excited because they love camping. I have to admit, I am quite looking forward to it too!

9. Please go and check out the London road trip thread. We have an important question for you to consider. I am trying not to be tooo disappointed.

10. Well, there I did 10. Now all I have to do is post and hope that no one beat me to it.

Have a great day factoiders.
