1. Curling up on the couch with a good book and the smell of beef stew in the air would be absolutely wonderful today! It is the perfect weather for it. 2. BUT my DH just left to go into the office for the rest of the day, he has a huge deadline looming. 3. SO I am playing mom again today to my sick little girl and hyper little boy.

1. It's starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. It's cool and windy today. 2. Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. 3. We're shopping for a Halloween costume for my son today. Every year he's been either a policeman or fireman ... this year he wants to be the Grim Reaper??? 4. My DBF is bringing over apple pie for dessert ... yummy! I love the smell of apple pie!

01. DH is watching the Giants game. I'm waiting for his head to explode. I'm concerned about his blood pressure. 02. I'm curling up with some boxes for sorting, shredding and discarding. 03. I need to get some magazine holders, so I'll be placing an order later online for some stuff. 04. Typo goes back to the vet on Tuesday. Bop is going to go with him. I think his mouth is bothering him, so we're going to see about having his teeth pulled. His heart is strong, other than his teeth he's healthy, there's no reason to believe he won't come out of the anesthetic. 05. My 2 Moms have cleaned DH's new office, and the two rooms are just awaiting our furniture. I wish I could get the floor plan for the manufactured home. I'm going to try e-mailing the company again.

1. What a crazy week it's been! My Mom was ill...she had been on a prednisone burst for a really bad flareup of her RA. Usually that relieves the inflammation and makes her feel better. Not this time! The burst sent her blood sugars sky high, she was shaking like a leaf and feeling horrible. She dropped 5 pounds in 5 days and felt too weak to do anything except get up to to the bathroom. I've been spending all my "free" time (after work, days off) taking care of her, preparing meals, etc. The good news is that Friday afternoon all her bloodwork came back pretty much normal, and she's slowly starting to feel more like her usual disabled but upbeat self. 2. Unfortunately, I missed out on a fun weekend I had planned with Ms Sweetpea and her parents...going to Stratford Ontario for the weekend to see a couple plays and shop, etc. I was really looking forward to going, but felt that I should stay behind and check in on Mom (who lives a mile away), check her blood sugars, etc. 3. Alone at home this weekend, I decided to pull a mega-Wargod and surprise my sweetie with a bedroom makeover...one she's been talking about for ages but I've been dragging my heels about doing, because life is always too hectic. So, the minute she pulled out of the driveway on Friday, I went to Home Depot and bought paint, then came home and removed the queen bed, two dressers, two nightstands, swiffered the white walls (geez, they were dusty!), and totally emptied the room of everything. I painted and finished by bedtime. 4. Sat Am, after checking in on Mom, I started ripping up the bedroom wall to wall carpeting! Yeeehaw! Grabbed a razor knife and cut it into six neat sections, rolled and duct taped them and lugged them to the back deck. Same with the pad. I was disappointed to find that the hardwood floors underneath (which we had never seen), were in definite need of refinishing. Will save that for another weekend. For now, my biggest and most difficult job was removing the @!@#$&*%%#@! carpet tack strips which the installer had nailed to the floor with freakin' ROOFING nails every four inches around the perimeter of the room. AAARRRGGGHHH!! He was apparently anticipating a tornado. Thank goodness for the Wonderbar (not to be mistaken for the Wonderbra). It took forever, and I am very very sore, but I got every darned last friggin nail out. And the padding tacks, too! 158 of those damn things, pulled out with pliers. 5. So, after washing the floor, I went out and bought an area rug to go with the new room color, and couple of bedside throw rugs. Time to haul everything back into the room! (minus a bunch'o'clutter.) ALL DONE!! I have to say, I'm really really happy with how it looks..It's a totally different room now. From white walls and dark green carpeting, to sort of wedgwood blue walls with white trim, oak floors and a multi colored carpet, and plush bedside throw rugs for under the footies in the AM. 6. I just finished putting everything in the rest of house back in order, and except for the bedroom, the place looks totally like nothing happened here all weekend. Aack! she just called to say they are on their way home, will be here in half an hour. Can't wait to surprise her!

1. Yay BR! Sounds like you were busy this weekend! Can't wait to see what Ms. Sweetpea thinks about it! 2. SS, how's ds enjoying that book? Is it worth reding the ones I've skipped so I can get it? 3. Dakota's little friend came over today. They had fun. 4. They made a little art project (sticky foam pre-cut.) Made a picture of a castle, princess, prince, rainbow, flowers and birds, then they got to add glitter paint. 5. They they played with Kota's barbies and ate lunch. 6. Then they made beaded halloween necklaces. The little girl told me she was going to go home and show her daddy how to do it so they could make jewlery together. I thought that was cute, lol. 7. Now we're all vegging. Darren went to take a nap, Caleb's busy with his legos and Dakota's watching tv. It's kind of a boring, lazy day cuz the weather sucks.

HUSSY I moved your question over here. Click on THIS 1. My computer froze again today. It was while I was trying to do the update 2. I hadn't had any trouble with it since I got it back from the shop 3. The update ended up in my folder instead of where it is supposed to be. I hope the mods are fixing it for me. 4. Maybe my computer doesn't like to work! 5. I hope War's family had a great day 6. I'm sorry Babyruth used her day to do a Wargod 7. I had to babysit my grandpups 8. Next week I get to see my grandkids! WooooHooo!

1. BR, can you come and surprise me with a bedroom makeover? I promise to act surprised...hee-hee! 2. BR, in all seriousness...I think you're one terrific lady to do all of this work and present it as a gift and surprise to your MsSweetpea! 3. Today I went to a potluck luncheon/reunion with families who were on the Idaho-Montana summer river rafting trip. 4. It was so nice seeing all of them again! 5. I did bring along 16 copies of all the pictures I took while on the river and of our camping life. 6. Everyone really appreciated receiving these CD's filled with tons of pictures! I had sent some of my pictures to one of the ladies on the trip and she turned my photos, her photos and some photos of others into a fantastic slide show set to beautiful music. All our names were credited at the end of the slide show and then she presented all of us with a CD...yay! 7. Here's a picture I took as we entered a set of rapids:
8. If you click onto my screen name, you'll see a picture I snatched from a website and it has a watermark on it, but it's definitely viewable. It shows our big yellow raft and that's me at the back holding my camera up high for dear life in which I took the above picture. (I did purchase 3 pictures from this river photo company so I didn't feel like a total snake for snatching this picture). 9. My BIL is the oarsman and I had such faith in his river rafting abilities that I just tucked my foot into the pontoon in front of me and hoped it would hold me in during some of those fun bounces! 9a. If anyone's interested in viewing a slide show of this trip, just email me and I'll send you the link to the university that hosted the slide show.

1. Coco, I love that pic in your profile! It's so you, standing there, hanging on while trying to snap an amazing pic (which you did!) 2. BR, you've inspired me. I am going to paint Caleb's room either this week or next (depending on how much I have youngest neice this week.) 3. I've been putting this project off for soooooo long. Mainly cuz he wanted a dragon painted on the wall and I knew I couldn't do that. 4. We talked earlier and decided instead of a crappy mural (lol, which it would be if I attempted it!) that I'd paint the room in the colors he wants and then we'd go searching for posters and pictures of dragons. 5. I think it's going to be cool. Last week at the fall festival he collected a bunch of pics of some of the planes that were made in part or whole out here from Lockheed and some of the other places (like the stealth and the shuttle.) Two walls will be all dragon pictures and posters, one will be the planes and the shuttle, and the fourth left for family pics he wants hung. 6. We figure that way too if he grows out of the dragons and planes, we can easily take that stuff down and put new pictures up instead of having to repaint his whole room. 7. Dakota's little friends step mom commented on her jeans today. Wanted to know the brand because she just loved the way they fit (stretch jeans with the flared legs) because her step daughter is built the same as Dakota. I'd realized Kota was outgrowing clothes again, but until she made the comment, I really hadn't paid much attention to how little they were getting. Other than the fact that I had trouble buttoning them earlier, lol. 8. This evening I took her out clothes shopping. We had a blast picking out clothes and trying them on. Each time I take her shopping I'm more amazed by her sense of style and her knowing what looks good on her. She got three outfits (two pairs of jeans, a jean skirt, 2 sweaters and a long sleeved t-shirt.) She also got a new pair of tennis shoes and a pair of dress shoes. She picked out the cutest pair of black slacks and a silky long sleeved shirt, but the pants were too big. Even huge, they looked cute, so later this week I'll be checking the other walmarts to see if I can find the same pants in a smaller size. She does have a couple pair of pants that still fit for now, plus a couple skirts and thick tights, so that'll get her through winter. 9. Caleb on the other hand, I could kiss him, lol. While Dakota outgrows clothes every three months, he tends to last much longer. He's more likely to wear out clothes than outgrow them. He's got a ton of jeans that still fit so about all I need to do for his is a few more long sleeved t-shirts and a pair of tennis shoes. I did pick him up a couple shirts today but he needs a few more. Kid won't wear a jacket or sweatshirt unless its under 12 degrees outside so I like the long sleeve t-shirts for him. 10. We did have a nice day. There was a couple boring hours for me right in the middle of the day, but then I took Kota shopping and we came home and had dinner then played a game of scrabble. 10. 5 Tomorrow I have to take my car in to the dealership and leave it overnight for them to check out the alarm. Wouldn't you just know it, tomorrow is also the day I have to keep my youngest neice and run several errands so everybody is going to be playing chaffeur wargod around. Sis is picking me up from the dealership and taking me to pay a bill then dropping me and the baby at home. Then mom will pick me up to go pay some more and do a little shopping. Then Darren has to get off early from work to pick the kids up. Tuesday mom will have to take the kids to school and Darren will again get off work early to pick them up and then take me to the dealership to get my car.

1. Ms Sweetpea is still in shock. She said OMG about 20 times...She loves the room makeover! I knew she would! 2. This morning she picked up the phone and bought me a gift certificate for a professional massage for my achy muscles. Yay! I need it!! LOL 3. Thanks for your comments, Mocha, Jewels, War and Gracie. Coco, I love the trip pic and the one in your profile. I love river rafting! We took a trip when we were in Colorado this summer. I'll make you a deal: I'll re-do your room if we can go white water rafting with ya sometime! 4. CONGRATULATIONS, FroggieGirl! Keeping my fingers crossed for great weather for you!

1. Yay Froggie! 2. Coco I love that picture! 3. We used to go on a yearly rafting trip before we had kids...it was so much fun! A company used to take pictures of us and I have them all hanging on a wall, some of them are sequential as we would go through the rapids. 4. Jake doesn't have school today because of conferences although our conference isn't scheduled until next week. 5. We are heading to Michael's soon to get some stuff to do Halloween crafts. 6. Have fun in Astoria, Cher! I love it there. I has actually born there!

1. I want to wave a big HELLO to all factoiders! I love coming here and reading how everyone is doing (although I don't post too often). Congrats Froggie! 2. I am tired of all the illness that has plagued our house this past week. 3. I need to catch up on lots of lost sleep. 4. There are 3 midterms and 2 papers that I have to complete in the next week and a half. I hope I do well on them considering how crazy it has been at home. 5. DH is enjoying his new job as train conductor. It has been an adjustment for all of us with the schedules. This week he works 5am-1pm. At least he is home when the boys and I get back from school. 6. I really love my philosophy classes, but they are mind-bending. It is a fun second degree though. 7. Somehow I got wrapped up into watching some CFL football with DH this weekend. Now I am curious to see how the rest of the season turns out. The game between BC and Montreal did me in. Even though I am not usually a sports fanatic I have been sucked into the vortex. Any other Sask. Rider fans out there? All I have to say is - McCallum needs a new leg! 8. OK - I really need to get some rest. Have a great day everyone!

1. I love my philosophy classes too Serenity! 2. It helps though that my professor is the best eye candy in the college though (and that includes students!) lol 3. I sneezed over a half hour ago and when I did it sent a shooting pain down my right arm. 4. My arm still hurts....odd, guess I pulled something in that moment 5. My dad stopped by this weekend and stocked up my pantry yet again 6. My parents were non-exsistant when I was growing up (party because they were so very young, on drugs and always fighting) but he has been a wonderful father the past 4 years (after divorcing my mother and getting sober) and I don't know what I would do without him sometimes 7. DD and I have started making a ton of bead projects to give out at Christmas time 8. We've made bracelets, necklaces, earrings, eyeglass holders...and wraps for candles...anyone have any more ideas? 9. I miss Six Feet Under

01. Typo is racing around like a maniac. 02. I think he is feeling well enough to go back to leash training. 03. Just took Bill to the brand new Rio convention center. What a mess to get to it! 04. Called the vet to add Bopper to Typo's appointment tomorrow. 05. They want him brought in today instead. 06. Now I am really scared that we are going to lose him. 07. On the other hand, if he's there, rather than HERE, there's a better chance to save him, right? 08. On a brighter spot, I'm going to try Flylady's new Body Clutter diet. It starts on Thursday, so we'll get all of the junk out of the house between now and then. 09. When I get home from the vet, I'm going to start shredding and sorting papers. I want to get this place emptied out a bit today. 10. Maybe I can get at least 2 garbage bags out of this chaos.
