1. Serenity, that is a great picture! 2. Happy Thanksgiving (and early even!) to all our Canadian friends! 3. I was in the middle of washing dishes a while ago when someone laid on my doorbell. Now usually around here the only time someone rings the doorbell like that, somethings wrong so it scared the heck out of me wondering what was going on. Get to the door and it's the church lady going around wanting to share her message. I'm fairly sure this is the same one Dakota chased away years ago when she pulled open the curtain and stood in the front window butt nekkid. 4. Wap, can you come make dinner here??? I pulled some kind of meat out to defrost but I really have no idea what it is. 5. I'd planned to go do a little shopping today but it's already 12:30 and I'm not done with my housework yet. Guess I'll put it off til tomorrow.

1. I would love to be swimming in a pool right now, I am jealous, Skootz! 2. Love that picture, Serenity! My son use to fall asleep on the chair at my desk alot. He use to play computer games in the afternoon and often I would find him curled up in the chair. Too cute. 3. War, maybe that lady thought that you needed saving, so she thought she would try again! 4. I had a church lady come by a while back. Actually, it was a lady and her daughter, she was maybe 9 or 10. The daughter was the one with the spiel, like I would listen to her more. How can you turn down a cute kid right? It irked me. 5. (((Kady))) I hope you are feeling better soon! 6. We have been working endlessly on our new foundationfor our house. I am exhausted. 7. I made the best crockpot spaghetti sauce yesterday. Yummy!

1. Skootz! I also have my pool open, and will be taking a swim shortly! It is above 80 today, but the water is cool due to low evening temps. 2. I hired a "putzfrau" or a "Wargod" today. The girlfriend of one of my student's who lives around the corner and wasn't frightened of cleaning my house. 3. I sent off all my editing to Germany just a bit ago! 4. WHEW! 5. Found the box of children's books I need for the school inservice on Friday. 6. After the swim, I will write up the handouts for the inservice. 7. Also need to send in a two-page paper from the last conference for publication. AND send in the prospectus for three sessions I'm doing in January. I'm afraid that they will cancel me if I don't send the contract back soon! 8. It's been a good editing and writing day. Can you tell that I didn't go into the office? LOL!

1. Just popping in to post some facts. I just got home from school and have a few spare moments so why not! 2. I had a test tonight on radiology and I think I passed. I was really worried there because I didn't think the info was registering with my brain, but I guess it did! 3. Next Friday I go for my state certification test in radiology - yep, the week before the wedding and I'm not feeling very positive about it. I hear the test can be really confusing. Send some good luck vibes my way! 4. We're starting the reception table assignments this weekend and I'm really dreading it. Luckily both of our mothers have offered to help sort it all out. I hope it goes smoothly! 5. Tomorrow is another dress fitting - hopefully my last. Again, send some good luck vibes my way!!! 6. Monday is going to be the day from h-e-l-l. I have a Dr's appointment at 9:30 am, then I have to pick my finished programs up at the church, then I have to meet with the manager at the reception hall to give her my head count, finalize the menu, etc., then that evening we have to drive 1 1/2 hours to Lancaster to meet with our DJ. 7. Needless to say, I had to take Monday off from work, so that's one positive thing. 8. I'm really looking forward to the 19th when I start my two week break from school and work...yippee!!! 9. I keep telling Steve that the next time I get married I'm going away or eloping!

1. Froggie the wedding is coming up quick! Time must be flying for you guys. 2. 1:30 and I'm still awake again. This is getting frustrating. I thought today I'd drop the kids off at school and come back home for a little sleep, that didn't happen. 3. I will be in bed by 2 though I'm still not tired yet. 4. Dakota's little friend gave her her phone number today. It had 14 numbers, lol. Hopefully I'll run into one of her parents this week to see if she can come visit this weekend. 5. Picked the kids up today, Caleb was carrying his glasses. ARGH! During pe they got swatted off his head and stepped on by another kid. Quick run to Lenscrafters where they bent them back into shape. No lasting damage thankfully! 6. Once again he hasn't gone more than 3 months without something happening to them. 7. Darren's boss put them back on an 8 hour day Monday. Wednesday they go back to 10 hours. Knew that wouldn't last long. 8. Sigh...now Caleb's up with nose and eyes pouring. Wonder if it's allergies or a cold. Allergies have been pretty bad lately, but it's also been chilly in the mornings (and afternoons, lol) and he doesn't like to wear his sweatshirt. 9. I wouldn't mind the folks from the church coming by once in a while, but they come at least twice a week and when they're not knocking on the door they leave pamphlets. This has been going on for years, the same people from the same church up the street. 10. Close enough to 2, got to make Darren and the kids lunches and then it'll be my bedtime.

1. I must be out of my mind. I signed up to do NaNoWriMo next month. (that's National Novel Writing Month). In NaNo you try to write 50,000 words in 30 days. http://www.nanowrimo.org/index.php? Needless to say you won't see a lot of me in November - lol!

1. Oh Puppy! I should sign up for that! Maybe that will be what I need to kick my rear back into gear on the novel I started this summer. I'm gonna check that out. Thank you! 2. I also want to start a new pencil drawing. I really need to cut back on my computer time to get these things done, LOL. 2.1 Mornings suck.

1. Had a nice swim yesterday and did a great job vacuuming the pool. 2. The little black and white kitty keeps running away from me. Today when I set the food out it was about 10 feet away near the bushes and didn't run away. Even meowed. I try to talk to little JujuKitty through the door after setting the food out. Since JujuKitty didn't run away when I put the food out, I thought we could have a conversation through the door. No dice. 3. I have a really busy day today. ARGGGGG!

1. Hermionie it certainly kicked my creativity into gear. nothing like a 'little' deadline. 2. I've having a backache day (okay few days) I think it has to do with pms. argh - pms complicating the ddd (degenerative disk disease). how fun. 3. I'm at work and want to be home scribbling (characterization and plot work!) 4. Wendy was trying to play with me on the bed this morning. rolled to far over with her head down and oops off the bed she went. yes I laughed.

1. We had a lightening storm almost right over our house yesterday. 2. There was a huge flash of lightening, and everything in house went dark for a split second. 3. I was afraid we'd been hit, but since everything came right back on, including the computer even re-booting itself, I guess it was just a power surge intensified by the lightening overhead. 4. Today I tried to make coffee, and the coffee pot isn't working. Come to think of it, the coffee was pretty cold yesterday later on as I drank a second/third/etc cup. Yesterday's power surge must have fried the heating element. 5. Can't go without coffee. Nuh uh. No way. So now I'm getting dressed to go out and get a new pot.

01. Bopper and Typo were cuddled up together earlier and we managed to get a picture; we still have to download it. 02. Speckle is still skittish--although she will consent to be on the same bed with him now. 03. My order from Drugstore.com came in today (a day earlier than I expected). 04. I ordered most of my Seventh Generation paper goods and detergents from there this time instead of running to 7 different stores. 05. I do like Seventh Generations' products; I just wish more stores carried them. 06. Of course, I also liked earning $10.70 from Ebates for my November check, and $10.70 from Drugstore.com to use on any other purchase this month. You have to like free money--since I would have purchased the items anyway.

1) We went shopping last night, got my husband a new suit for the wedding, talk about last minute. Thankfully Mens Warehouse promised the alterations would be done by this evening. 2) We were so impressed with the prices and service we called the youngest son to come get a new sports coat and he ended up getting a full out fit, sports coat, pants, shirt, tie and shoes. Again they promised the alterations would be done within 24 hours. 3) I was feeling a bit sorry for myself since everyone in the family got all new clothes for the wedding except me. I thought I was hiding my green monster rather well but husband then drove to my favorite store and bought me a new skirt and jacket and matching costume jewelry. 4) I didn't get new shoes, but that's ok since the skirt and jacket are red and I bought myself a pair of red shoes several years ago and haven't had anything to wear them with. 5) We are nervous about being away from home for the two days it will take to go the wedding. We did finally figure out how to use call forwarding so if Devin calls from Iraq we can get the call on the cell phone. 6) Today is my daughter's twenty first birthday. She's at college, her room mate called and asked for my Peanut Butter Icing recipe, they intend to surprise her with a homemade cake. I can't help but wonder if they actually have cake pans. LOL! Well, they are adults now, I'll assume they figured that out already. 7) I feel left out since I have no kitties nor puppies to post about. I do keep asking for a puppy but my husband reminds me that we have to put the fence back up in the backyard first.

1. I don't want to go to work today. WAHHHHH! Ok, that felt better. 2. It is going to be one of those whirlwinds again, and I'll probably pull an all-nighter tonight. 3. Yesterday was a 14-hour day. BLECH! I had about 90 minutes to myself without students to relax, but didn't get home until, well, WAY past time to feed the cat. 4. Went to a dinner meeting for my job and met some new people. 5. I can't even think about going to Nashville until about Saturday at noon. And there are several in the air as I type. 6. It always happens that I have a huge deadline or project due right before I travel. 7. Because of this, I often pack kinda funny! 8. STILL don't want to go to work, but I suppose I better get some work done, since I'll be out giving a workshop all day Friday!

1) Good morning one and all! 2) Rainy, dark and gloomy here. 3) I'm feeling sunny and chipper for a change. 4) Today has been busy and chaotic. 5) The Sears Steam Carpet Cleaner guy was here. 6) Even with my 'coupons' I am 253 bucks poorer, cuz he did 2 rooms, one hallway, one cat-hairy couch and one impossibly cat-hairy desk-CHAIR. 7) Even though he didn't have much luck with the chair, he worked hard, and he disinfected and scotchguarded everything for me. 8) At least I hope he Scotchguarded, I was preocupied and didn't watch him as closely as I should have. (worried) 9)My cleaning lady promised to to come by this afternoon, to help me, (cuz among other things, thanks to the Sears guy, my stuff is now all willy-nilly all over the place.)

Hope I'm doing this right... 9a) The Sears guy called me and reassured me he did scotchguard everything. I just have to wait 24 hours til it sets. PHEW! 9b) My day has taken a sudden nosedive, its all recorded in the Right Now area. 9c) My cleaning lady is late and as I said in the right now area, five bucks says she won't show cuz my day is just sucky now.

1. You're doing just fine, Mame! 2. I've been working on laundry today. I hate it, lol. I hate folding, hanging, and putting away. 3. Worst part, 1/2 through my dryer died. Now I have three loads sitting in the living room, plus all the sheets I took off the beds yesterday and towels. 4. Gonna wait for Darren to get off work to take me to the laundry mat. He can dump me and the laundry off and come back to get me. 5. I'm going to wash as much as I can before he gets home so I spend less at the laundry mat. I figure he's just going to love me, not only lugging laundry back and forth, but lugging wet laundry, lol. I might be lucky if he comes back to get me! 6. Dakota's little friend can't come over this weekend because she has to go to her moms. Think I'll clean her closet this weekend and invite the girl over next weekend. 7. I get to watch my youngest neice next week. Oldest neice has to go in for a root canal, so the baby's going to spend most the day with me. 8. I need to go mop my kitchen floor. And throw another load of laundry in the washer. Did I mention I hate laundry? 9. This weekend I'm also going to clean the kids bedroom carpets. Darren's got a ton of yard work to do which the kids will help with, plus they have a party to go to tomorrow afternoon so they'll be out of my hair most of the day. 10. Oh, reminds me, I need to finish neighbor girls present!

I didn't find "Lost" on Wednesday, didn't care who the tribe voted off last night, didn't even care who was missing "without a trace", and tonight I won't be looking for any whispering ghosts. It's hockey night every night at our house! WOOHOO! Go Wings!

3.1 Kady, you can get a Costco phone card and you can call Azriel for 9 cents a minute! I just spent quite a few minutes finding that information for you. Tried finding it online, finally called using my Costco phone card, LOL. Of course, a Costco phone card is a good deal anyway, as you can make all of your domestic long distance calls for under 3 cents a minute.
