01. I called the shrink today and talked to the office manager. We have arranged for me to have 30-minute sessions for $75--rather than 1 hour sessions for $300. It was decided that the important thing was for me to get my meds and get well.

02. I also finished putting together another issue of D'Clutter Bug. It should be posted later today and has 17 photos--16 of the manufactured home waiting for our arrival.

03. After taking a business loss of about $800 due to Cox Communications screw-ups, they supposedly have fixed the problems.

04. I need a good, friendly way of explaining to our friend that we won't be moving into their one bedroom manufactured home. (I crunched the numbers, and by the time we totaled up renting a storage unit for our stuff, a POB for our mail, plus moving over the cable and cable modem. Then there were the little extras: changing addresses with the various businesses, alerting friends, money for the laundry area, travel to the PO, and, let’s face it, with Bill and I in each other’s space, the savings would’ve had to be great. They weren’t. In total, the amount saved by making this move: $130.00 per month.)

05. Typo is doing well. His drains are out and he is bouncing around like a perfectly healthy kitten. He goes back to the vet on Tuesday.

1. Wargod's little mishap reminds me of every day that I attempt to cook!

2. Escapee's excitement resonates through this thread! Sending best wishes for a happy healthy baby girl!

3. Today is my oldest son's birthday, and I am also very proud of him and wish him the best.

4. We had a very cloudy day today. I am hoping that it doesn't stay this way throughout the winter. We could use rain or shine instead.

5. I am very happy for Lkunkel that she has worked out her sessions and got a discounted rate. Also I'm glad Typo is doing better. Sending good vibes for Lkunkel and family that all works out for the best.

6. Today I taste tested a barbecue chopped beef sandwich that we are considering for resale in the coffee shop. I didn't care for the taste, although I'm sure some people would love it. The only way I will sell it in my shop is if I cannot find any other supplier.

6a. Looking forward to a night of good tv!

1. It's been so long since I've been in this thread that I don't even know when the last time was.

2. I had been really busy with mom painting the living room and her bedroom.

3. She got new furniture for the living room. It looks very lovely now.

4. I've been very active with the single's group in the last 6 weeks or so.

5. This past weekend, 12 of us went to Joseph, OR for the weekend at a lake resort. It was a blast.

6. My grandaughter Riley turned 3 on Sunday.

7. My mom was diagnosed with bladder cancer this afternoon. She started having blood in her urine on Sunday, and Monday it was really bad. On Monday, I went with her to the doctor and after feeling her abdomen, he had me feel it too. I felt a hard mass the size of my hand inside of her. After a series of tests this week, my worst fears were confirmed.

7.3 (((Sage and Mum)))


1. If it weren't for mornings, nothing would ever get done at my house.

2. Yesterday I made what must have been between 70-80 cabbage rolls.
2.1. Didn't get a chance to count before the first batch walked out the door with one of ds's friends who happened by just as they were coming out of the oven.LOL

3. Later said friend sent the dish back with a huge piece of the most delish, moist carrot cake. That boy can really bake, gotta get this recipe out of him, too.

4. 8 more sleeps, Serate!

5. War, why should you be perfect when the rest of the world has those kind of mishaps all the time, more frequently as time marches on? Accept them now, it will save you a lot of aggro.

6. Congratulations, Escapee!

7. I am so glad that Laurie and Typo are on their way to feeling better, yay!

8. Happy belated Birthday, #1Gracieson and little Riley!

1. TGIF

2. I got my new monitor. It's a 17" Samsung flat screen. I like it.

3. {{Sage}} Think positive thought.

4. I don't have any real big plans for the weekend.

5. I just leaned back in my chair to stretch and I think I did something bad. It hurts to move now.

6. My in-laws drive me crazy. They don't nag and bug me because they know I would tell them to mind their own dam business. So what do they do....nag and bug DH. He is beside himself with the anger he feels towards his family. I feel so bad for him and am about ready to blow-up.

7. I generally stay out of things for the benifit of DH...but it's starting to affect his daily life. This I cannot accept, and think it's about time I became more of the black sheep of the family.

8. I'm going to go to Wal-MArt at lunch to make purchases for Christmas.

9. I cannot really afford it but figure I might just as well buy things on sale.

1. I am really tired!

2. I am playing part of a recital tonight for our open house.

3. Still have to print the programs, but I am waiting for a file conversion from Adobe online.

4. Logged in here cause I am waiting for a student and am waiting for the file to convert.

5. I should just buy the full version of Acrobat.

6. My parents are probably at my house right now!

7. We are closing the pool tomorrow.

8. I advise two student groups. One is going really great and the other keeps voting people out of office and is driving me nuts.

9. It is a good year here! Very busy, but a good year.

10. I need to knock off about two of my Nov. 1st deadlines this weekend. I have either 5 or 6 big things due on that date and just saw two more grants that I could apply for that are due then. I need Nov. 1 to come quickly from my bank account perspective, but v e r y S L O W L Y from my productivity and sanity perspective.

TGIF!!!

1. Went with sis and mom to watch neice get her award today. Also saw my oldest nephew get one too, that was a surprise. We had to postpone lunch today since little adopted sis wasn't feeling that great and decided to take a nap instead.

1. I've got tendinitis in my right thumb. The doctor thinks there might also be some carpal tunnel going on in the wrist too. The best news I received was the xrays showed NO arthritis...whew!!

2. I saw the OT Hand Specialist (Occupational Therapist) three times this past week and she's an angel. She actually created a thumb splint for me that doesn't look obnoxious. And with this splint and the drugs, I'm definitely feeling some relief from the (OUCH!) pain. As you notice, it's not keeping me from my favorite board on the web!!

1.1 Coco, hope the therapy gets you back into shape quickly. Tendinitis is a real PITA.


1. I hate missing several days of board happenings.

2. Decided to have a pyjama day catching up at the computer.

3. Charlie is anxiously running around the house trying to find a spot to hide his Milkbone. As if any of us would want to nibble on it.LOL

4. I played a great game of pool last night

01. Well, I met my friend for lunch yesterday and told her we weren't moving into her guest "house."

02. She told me that she was sure that my numbers were wrong on how much I would save. Let's see, our rent (as of January will be $630), her rent is $500. I dunno, I still come up with $130, and that doesn't include paying the rents on a storage unit and POB; coming up with money for laundry; having to drive the van more, rather than walking; plus the whole lack of privacy issue. (When it was just me staying there, she and her spouse would walk in at any time and putter around.)
03. But, at least it is done. So that is one thing accomplished.

04. Now I have more time to breathe to get things packed up here. Time that is very much appreciated.

05. Today is just a light day so I can conserve energy and go someplace where people don't really care for me later tonight.

1. had a full day today. first thing i did was take lola to the vet...she's been limping since thursday night....check the dogs thread for more details...she's ok, but boy my wallet sure felt it.

2. after that, we went to my niece's soccer game...they won! she was the goalie during the second half of the game and not one single ball got past her...the kid is talented! :-)

3. my friend and i went to the movies and saw elizabethtown. it was kind of a weird movie, but it was nice that it wasn't a big tearjerker. (and everything makes me cry, lol).

4. after that we went to TGI fridays. i had a HUGE hurricane (boy was it good, too). and for my meal i had the jack daniels chicken...it was awesome! so were the mashed potatoes...and that one drink lasted me through the whole meal. :-)

5. i came home a finished hanging most of the stuff on the walls so i could take some pictures to post...which i did take them. now they are uploading to a photo site...it'll probably take awhile because i'm on dialup, but as soon as they are ready, i'll post a link in my folder if anyone is interested in seeing them. :-)

6. tomorrow a co-worker is bringing me a desk....for free, no less. i need one, and she wants rid of hers...perfect.

happy saturday factoiders, and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

1. Today was a lazy day. And then a productive one. And then back to being lazy, lol.

2. This morning we caught up on some of our recorded shows.

3. Then Darren did some yard work and sealed up the swamp cooler for winter while Dakota cleaned her room, Caleb cleaned out the turtle tank, and I cleaned the bookcase in the living room.

4. Then it was crafts for me and Kota and games for Darren and Caleb.

5. Caleb's little buddy is sick and can't come over tomorrow.

6. So while Kota's little friend is here he is going to grandma's to earn some money doing yard work.

7. All our plans may be totally up in the air if it rains. Caleb won't be able to do yard work and the girls won't be able to play outside. I have some crafts that the girls can spend some time on if they get stuck in the house and Darren can keep Caleb occupied for a couple of hours I guess.

8. I'm not too sure it really will rain, lol. Yesterday was 88 degrees...most of today was awesome, though windy. About 6 it started to get cold. It's supposed to get colder and colder over the weekend, and we've been told by our local weatherman to expect bad thunderstorms today, tomorrow, and Monday at least. Rain today: it rained for almost four whole minutes earlier, long enough for me to get in the car and drive to the store then it stopped. Started again this evening and lasted less than 10 minutes. Hasn't been a drop since then (and no thunder or lightening.) Now that's what normal rain is like around here, lol! Just enough to get the ground wet then it stops.

I don't know where to post this so I am trying here. My mom taught me how to do ceramics when I was younger. We are looking to get back in to it. I need a hobby and I was pretty good at painting these. So I wanted to know if anyone knows of a place near Cumming , Georgia where i might be able to buy some pieces to paint... thanks Cin

1. I went to a family get together yesterday.

2. Saw family - due to my absense for various reasons from family doings - for years.

3. Recieved LOTS of compliments about how great I looked being THINNER!!

4. I met two little third cousins I hadn't met before. (and their 5 year old big sister that I had)

5. That makes me feel old - I remember holding my second cousin when she was a baby in 1976. I was 12 at the time (doing the math - yes that makes me 41 now)

6. I got on a swing and swung on a playground next to where the gathering was at.

7. I haven't been on a swing in AGES and AGES.

8. Why don't adult swing more often. it was totally freeing for some reason.

9. Wonder how dorky I'd look swinging up at the elementary school or at a playground somewhere? Wonder if I should let myself CARE?

OK, I'll do 10 again--teach me to be busy for a day and get to post 10 TWICE in a row!

1. Recital was fine. Had some real organists there and about 50-100 people through. I played on and showed two instruments.

2. There were over 200 people there and everyone seemed to enjoy the open house.

3. My parents are here and helped me close the pool.

4. It was still a little chilly, and I don't have a wet suit, so I did the next best thing to get in the pool for it's final vacuuming. I wore a very bright and multicolored leggings/tank work out suit from the 80s. Gads, what were we thinking?

5. "Flashback" suit worked, but I should have put my boat shoes on.

6. I found my missing Euros, but not my cash card (yet). I am also looking for the orchestra music I need to play at the end of the month.....we're getting there!

7. Cleaned off my desk (mostly) at work. Another couple of hours and I'll probably find my cash card and missing music.

8. Went to the game last night. We were losing badly and Dad was really cold, so we left early.

9. Shouldn't have left so soon. There were touchdowns scored by both teams. Coach had a seizure of some sort with 25 seconds left in the game. Ambulance took him off the field and the officials ran the clock out.

10. I hope that Coach Kill is ok....he is a great coach and good guy, despite his name!

1) We had planned to spend the day today with my baby brother who was due in from California. The poor guy wasn't able to come since his car was stolen, stripped, recovered and in police impound, all within 24 hours of his flight time. He decided he needed to deal with that whole mess and turned in his ticket to pay the insurance deductible to get his car back on the road.

2) Our secondary plans were to finish, or at least make an attempt on finishing the house painting. Last night the news told us we'd see the sun for the first time in two weeks. This morning it is still raining and even chillier than it was yesterday.

3) I'm quite sure that the two college kids in our family will be thrilled that all plans are off today and they can sleep in.

4) I got my hopes up for a puppy this week, but when I tried to follow through, he was gone to another good home.

5) We talked my oldest son Devin, who's in Iraq, to start a blog. It's been so much fun, the whole extended family is starting to get in on the action. I personally sleep better when he checks in before he goes to bed, even if it's posts that say he's tired.

6) The funerals for all of the young men killed in his unit are over now (so far a total of 7, 5 in one attack). This has been an extremely hard time for our community and for those of us in the National Guard Family.

7) I hope to talk my husband who is the better cook in the house to make us some beef stew today. It's cold, rainy and he can't paint so he might as well cook don't ya think?

8) My youngest son, Kyle and I are back in to reading The Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan. His newest book came out this week and I found I needed to re-read them all since I was lost by the first chapter. This tickled my son to no end since he gets to read the new one first.

9) I think I've just planned my day perfectly for the weather, curling up on the couch with a book while smelling beef stew cooking, any one think I can push it and get home made biscuits?

10) OK, I got beat to nine and then to ten, I'll just let the schicklers hit me with wet noodles and get it over with.
