2.1 LOL Coco I couldn't do justice to the explanation of what a book thong is!

3.1 I shave my legs when I have time and for special occassions, Escapee, but when I was pregnant I did it every single day. Told Darren I could not go into labor with hairy legs. I remember Darren standing in the bathroom at 2:30 am when I was in labor with Dakota asking my why I woke him up and told him to hurry if I was going to stop and shave my legs, lol.

1. i am freezing!! i have no heat in this building, just a small electric heater by my desk. i need some tanners to come run the beds to let me off some heat!!

2. i have a ton of taped shows to watch, i may never catch up. i am now watching Y&R and watching Reunion during the commercials.

3. i spent time at the hospital with my MIL yesterday. it is so sad being around her. i swear she aged 20 years over night.

4. we let matthew play hooky from school today. he wants to go spend a few days with my mom. i think it is great that he is a teen and still likes to visit his grandma.

5. DH got a turkey from work. i am gonna attempt to cook my first thanksgiving dinner. we used to always go to MIL's house but i guess now the tradition will fall upon me.

6. i've had trouble sleeping this past week so last night i took half a lunesta. whew that was great!! i slept like a baby.

7. Mom got a new casino host. he is billy joe tolliver and used to be in the NFL. you should have heard her talking about how good looking he was.

8. my BIL is coming in from new york tomorrow. my DH doesn't get along well with his brother so this isn't gonna be fun.

3.12 LOL, that is too funny Wargod.
My problem with shaving my legs is that when I get in the shower (always at night) I usually stick DD in the tub with me and kill two birds with one stone, then after we get out, and DD is in bed, Dh gets in the shower, so we use a bit less water (and our hot water won't hold up to three showers/baths per night)
so I can't shave with DD in the tub because then she wants to do it too, and a two year old wanting to shave isn't alright. So, last night I got in by myself, and shaved.
(Is it strange that I stick her in the tub with me?)

1. I've often had the opportunity to wonder what someone else is dreaming, this happened again last night.

2. I've watched my children when they were small and seen them smile, laugh, or cry in their sleep yet and wanted to know what caused it.

3. I've watched my dogs move like they are running, even let out a bark and wondered what do they do in their dreams.

4. Last night I was awakened 3 times by my dreaming husband. He rolled over and patted me on the head, it woke me up each time, I'd move his hand, move my pillow, and still a little while later, I'd wake up and he was patting my head. It turned out to be a good way to start my day, laughing at his dream antics, yet he doesn't remember why he felt to pat my head or what he was dreaming.

1. Thanks Wargod! The book thongs look really nice with the beads on them. I had just never heard of them before! LOL.

2. When I was pregnant in my ninth month I made sure my legs were shaved and my nails all done. Crazy to be vain while pushing out a baby, but it made me feel more comfortable.

3. I just did my "Ho Ho Ho" shopping.

4. There was a big sale at Toys R Us. It was funny to see only adults in the store - no kids anywhere to be seen.

5. By getting a jump on my shopping, I saved a bunch of money and both boys will be happy.

6. I got DS 6 a Star Gazer Theater that shines constellations on the ceiling. It came with a bonus telescope!

7. I got DS 3 the Little People Airport. He has so many Little People, but really wants this to complete his village.

8. Of course, those gifts are just from "the man in the red suit." DH and I still have to pick up a few more things for the boys, plus stocking stuffers, etc. But I feel great about being able to cross at least one holiday chore off my list!

9. Well, I am off to university now. All my written tests are done... I just have 4 more major papers to complete. Last day of classes is Dec. 5 - Right around the corner! Then I have finals...

1. Welcome to TVCH Erinbear!

2. Escapee I have read before that a husband will put on weight when you are carrying a girl.

3. I am now addicted to Gold Miner - or whatever it's called - that above said pregnant person posted in yesterday's Right now thread.

4. It's snowing here today. Radio says we should expect about 2cm before it's over. I can handle that and NO MORE!

5. A friend at work had an eptopic pregnancy and was having surgery last evening. I am so worried about her. I really hope her DH calls here soon.

6. I don't know how it feels to have this happen so I don't know if it would be out of line to call her at home this weekend. Suggestions? We are more than just co-workers but she is also a private and sensitive person. As far as I know I was the only one who knew they were even trying.

7. Tomorrow night we are having friends over for pizza and cards after Sam goes to sleep.

8. I need to do some Christmas shopping in a bad way.

9. Tonight I would like to curl up on the bed with a good book....in reality....that may happen for about 30 minutes.

10. I wanna win the lottery!! Anyone else?

1. My friend just called in to work. She was not in the mood for talking and simply asked for the boss. I just told her that if she needed to talk over the weekend to please call. I would imagine that this is something that has to heal a bit before talking about it.

2. Now it's snowing super hard and we have traffic backed up outside. This is odd so I'm wondering if there is an accident up the road.

6.1 Spitfire, I'd give her a call and let her know I am thinking about her and then let her lead. Let her know you're there if she wants to talk or cry and if she's not ready yet, still let her know you're there when she's ready.

1. If I'm showering first thing in the morning or we're planning a day out and everyone in the house has to shower, I throw Dakota in with me. Saves time and the hot water doesn't run out, lol.

2. I picked Caleb up an art set (watercolors, acrylics, markers, etc.) and a model Humvee. Picked up Dakota a children's scrap book kit, a journal that she decorates herself, picture frames for her to make, and a stamp kit. I also got each one of them a set of three ceramic animals to paint, plus quite a few items priced at $1 (things like puzzles and small posters to color.) Spent less than $50 and I only bought one item that wasn't on sale (the model humvee) which I used my 40% off coupon for. I got everything I went for, spent less than I planned to, and found a few things I might go back for later on. All in all I'm quite pleased.

OK I'm being a fact hog!!!

1. I just got off the phone with the District Manager for Avon.

2. I think I'm going to give it a try. It's sounds very easy with an initial fee of $20.00 to start and that's it. You earn anywhere from 20-40% on each order.

3. Now I have even more reason to finally get a computer at home because they do on line ordering.

1. WHOO HOOO, I got the wireless to work at work! I am a happy camper emailing away at my laptop and using my IMail. Before, I had to use my big desktop and then the email didn't save to my hard drive... OR I had to use the webmail and then send it to myself as well.

2. It is also the last day before a week break! I am trying to decide whether I should go to the Harry Potter movie this afternoon or wait until tomorrow. Harry Potter OR German table??? SIGH

3. I have a student playing a senor recital tonight, so the movie is out for tomorrow!

4. I will be going to Iowa twice next week. Iowa City on Monday and Tuesday then to my folks for Wed-Friday. Then we will go to Eldridge Iowa for a family reunion (I had forgotten about it, but I am so happy to see some of my cousins!) LOTS of miles on the car, and I need to turn into a grading machine, but I can do it!!! And I only have to play for one church service, so that won't be too bad!

1. We did more Christmas shopping this afternoon before the kids got home. Even though we've been planning on doing part of it this week, it's still kind of a shock to see how much I have done and that I'm getting good deals! We have a little more planned next week.

2. We took the kidlets out to a new mexican restaurant tonight. I'm not even sure of the name of the place but it was awesome! Caleb cleared his own plate then started eating off mine, he never does that!

3. Darren has inventory at work tomorrow. He could end up working 10 hours or even more.

4. Report card day was fun. Kids both did well. Kota's teacher commented that she was a delightful child and that she's considering teaching her cursive writing because she thinks it'd be easier to read than her handwriting. Hmm, I've heard that before with my other kidlet, lol. Caleb's teacher commented that he'd have all a's and b's if he took his time, checked his work, and just put more energy into it. He had several check marks and "n"s, both of which means he needs to improve. All of them were for things like double checking his work, neatness...he got an A+ in spelling, yet under writing had an "N" for spelling in his writing (in such a hurry he's misspelling words in sentences that he can spell on their own.) When the problem isn't that he's struggling, behind, or doesn't grasp problems and is instead his study habits and being in such a hurry, how the heck do you get him to slow down and pay more attention to what he's doing.

5. My youngest niece came up with a new nickname for a friend of ours. He's a biker type guy, tough, and big. The type of guy who'd have a nickname like Killer or Tiny. Anyways, he was over at sis' this morning and we were all standing outside when we started to go in. He was behind us, and youngest niece turned around and said "C'mon Bubbles." I about hit the floor laughing and my sister turned around and asked him what she'd just called him cuz she didn't think she heard it right. He didn't want to tell her, but I was finally able to gasp it out in between hysterical laughter. He told us we better not spread that around, both of in unison said right Bubbles, lol. He's never going to live that down! Before I left sis had called half the people in her address book. Bubbles, hahaha!

1. Both of my guys, Eddy & Nicholas, are on vacation and I'm doing fine. Thought I'd be sad but I'm really ok.

2. I took my dad out for a birthday dinner last night, it was really good! I'm so glad I have a good relationship with him. I appreciate him so much!

3. Made plans with a girlfriend last night to go Christmas shopping this weekend ... yay!!!! Michaels & Target & Old Navy .... fun!!

4. 3 weeks until Vegas with Eddy. I'm almost 40 and have never been to Vegas, it's only an hour flight away. I'm so excited!!!

5. Then there's my birthday, right around the corner. I keep changing my mind on the tattoo that I'm getting. I guess I better make up my mind!!

6. Happy Saturday everyone!!

1. I've never been to Vegas, either. As an east coaster, the furthest west I have been is St. Louis. I need to travel more!

2. Nic, I can't wait to see what tattoo you end up picking. I still want to get that 4-leaf clover on my abdomen. Maybe this summer in Miami I will.

3. I'm going to see Harry Potter and the GoF with my brother and SiL today. I'm excited! I've heard mostly good things about it. I can't imagine I won't like it.

4. My home is a pigsty. MUST get housework done this weekend as well.

5. VA Tech vs. UVA game today. Big rivalry there. Go Hokies!

6. I got up an hour ago and I am still sleepy. I swear I wake up too slow!

7. Time for another cup of coffee. Happy Saturday!

1. Ellie is taking a nap on the sofa with me. It's cold out so I let her in.

2. She likes looking at the laptop screen.

3. Haven't seen JujuKitty yet this morning.

4. JujuKitty won't let me pick her up yet without clawing, so she doen't get to come in. Keeps getting friendlier, though.

5. I am thinking of seeing Wicked in St. Louis today or tomorrow. I am CRAZY! But that's what I do when I get a day or two off....Hmmmmm wonder what I could do.

6. What I SHOULD do is find my receipt for my shattered scanner so I can get it replaced.

7. I hear JujuKitty out in the leaves. Hope she eats the turkey innerds up. No yummy canned food til this plate is cleaned!

8. I am SO glad that I don't have classes next week and I can get some research done in Iowa. Just got another paper accepted to a conference in April! Salt Lake City, here I come!

1. i'm looking forward to a busy, but fun weekend.

2. i think we are going to see the movie i walk the line today, and then to the bar tonight for a concert. not 100% sure though. i also need to do some sort of christmas shopping.

3. i'll be making most of my gifts this year, with trying to save for vacation and dog surgery, etc. i hope i can come up with something that people will like.

4. tomorrow, i'll be riding with my friend to the halfway point of her hometown to meet her parents to drop off her dog and a couple of turkeys with them...she'll be away with work next week, and will be going there for thanksgiving anyway, so her parents always watch the dog while she's gone for more than a day.

5. i bought carrie underwood's cd the day it came out. i am impressed. it sounds like someone who has been doing this for awhile!

6. also bought martina mcbride's latest cd, timeless (country classics). after watching her sing help me make it through the night, on the CMA's, i was convinced that i had to have it. i love martina. she's my favorite FEMALE country artist...i think we all know who my favorite MALE is.

7. hermi, if you ever come to St louis again, tell me! we need to meet someday!

8. my arm is sore from yesterday's flu shot. i hate that.

9. this morning while i was lying in bed, reading, with lola laying in my arm, sleeping, i was watching her. they are so funny to watch sleeping. her eyes were half opened and kept moving around, and her nose was sniffing. LOL! i moved my hand in front of her rolling eyes to see if she was at all awake, and she wasn't. like someone above posted, it makes you wonder what there little dreams are about. probably about human food. LOL!

have a great weekend, factoiders!

1. Hi, everyone, happy weekend!!

2. 'Marm, some cats just plain don't like to be picked up. I've had a couple of those. Control issues, donchaknow. We're going to be in the 'Patch also for Thanksgiving on Thursday;

3. Jbean, I'm glad to hear that about the Carrie Underwood album. I liked her as the champion of last Idol. Also, both of our kitties decided to sleep ON ME last night. I've been dragging one leg as a result ever since, and managed to put a major kink in my back helping Colossus move an oak mantle because I slept in a weird position most of the night so as not to disturb kitties. Sigh;

4.Secretsmile, sometimes Colossus sings in his sleep (even interval scales) and sometimes I wake up because he is slapping my arm. He has weird dreams that are vividly detailed. One of these days he's going to wake up and wonder how he got the imprint of my engagement ring tattooed in the middle of his forehead;

5. Kitties are making us crazy today. I may have a pair of beautiful fur collars by the end of the day that look distinctly like Puss and Max used to;

6. We're going antique hunting for the bathroom this afternoon. Hoping to find an old wooden frame for the Russian Ballet poster and whatnot;

7. Bathroom is in a state of near-total disgrace right now. The only thing standing is the toilet, but we've made progress in picking corian countertop and dark oak cabinetry;

8. Persian rug. Colossus wanted the real deal to wipe his feet on, I'm-a-not gonna spend $2500 on a piece that will be trashed within weeks. I'm thinking Home Decorators catelogue has some eminently utilitarian and acceptable options for one-tenth the price;

9. We're getting the western Mexican cruise organized. I'm looking forward to visiting Puerta Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas and Mazatlan. And getting massages out the wazoo onboard;

10. Colossus has never cruised, so he's busily trying to figure out what's available to us, what's not, which tours to book and how to finagle a complete tour of the ship's innerworkings in the meantime. It's nice to see him excited about something a little bit different this year, but we are still pining for our regular trip to Cancun, which would have started a week from today. We will miss seeing many friends there and wish them well.

1. Darren worked for 12 hours today doing inventory. Him and another lead man sent the rest of the guys home after 8 hours, never thinking they'd be there another four.

2. Dakota's outgrown her bicycle so she's getting a new one for Christmas. Her old one is in excellent condition (she rides it all of the time and takes great care of it) and we're wanting to donate it. Problem is we'd like to do it before Christmas but if her bike disappears she will notice its gone. If we tell her what we did with it, she'll know what she's getting.

3. Our dd outgrew her first bicycle before she even learned to ride it without training wheels!

1. we saw a keith urban (sort-of) look-alike at the bar last night! it was mostly his hair that looked like keith's, but still...the closest thing i've seen in this town. i kept on looking over at him while the concert was going on, then i had to use the rest room, and come back, and he's GONE!

2. the concert was good. it was a group called hot apple pie. they are young, cute guys. here's their website: http://www.hotapplepie.net/

3. my friend collects guitar picks, so she always tries to get one when we see bands. she didn't catch one this time, though.

4. so we left right after the concert was over, and the guys from the band were also on their way out to their bus. i look beside me, expecting to see my friend, but instead, it's the lead singer! me being a dork, said "hey! you guys did great! can my friend have a pick? she collects them." he reached in his pocket and pulled one out. LOL! he was very nice (and cute) and i thanked him. my friend said "what'd you say?" lol. fun night!
