1. Darren broke my internet yesterday hooking up tivo. 2. Dra told me how to fix it. 3. I told Darren I figured it out all on my own. It took him six seconds to ask me how Dra was doing. LOL, he knows me well enough to know I can't fix techie thing on my own! 4. Kady all you need to know about Buffy/Angel before watching it....Spike is totally hot! 5. I've been fighting a sinus headache all day. I had it almost under control earlier when Dakota decided it was time to have a melt down. I couldn't even calm her down enough to explain to her she had misunderstood me and what she thought I said no to I had actually said yes. It ended with me picking her up and plopping her in bed. Darren eventually got her calmed down, though I've no idea how. Usually she has to calm herself down and everyone else just ticks her off more! One minute she was laying in bed screaming, next she was sitting on my bed talking to her daddy. I've got to figure out his trick. 6. I knew it was going to be a bad day when I picked her up from school and she told me how they had a sub today who gave the class candy for being good. I'm begining to think I should hang a sign off her, "NO SUGAR, unless you have two hours to let her run around!" I feel like a broken record sometimes. Bet if they had to deal with the bad attitudes they'd learn real quick not to give her sugar, lol.

01. Kaili: Head over to Television Without Pity; they have recaps on both Lost and Gilmore Girls. 02. I am right now taking a break from writing Dr. Phil a letter. 03. The real question is whether I will mail it. 04. Typo goes back to the vet tomorrow. 05. He seems to be healing well--Speckle is actually staying near him as the infection smell becomes less pronounced. 06. Bopper, on the other hand, seems to think he is a feline faith healer, as he insists on the laying on of paws on the injured area. 07. I wish I could sleep.

01. Abby, I'm not sure that I can post it. 02. At best, I would have to email it to you. 03. I'm essentially trying to rip through the 39 years of dragon skin* that I have built-up around myself to try to find the essence that is me. 04. It's not a positive letter. 05. I've just come to the conclusion that I desperately need help...earlier I was actually thisclose to going over to the County Psych Ward and checking myself in--except that I need to be home for the next 72 hours to help DH with a writing/research assignment. 06. I am trying to find my value as I write the letter. 07. I've not really succeeded in that part. 08. In short, my life is just not working for me at this point and I need help/perspective/something. *Dragon skin is a literary reference from C.S. Lewis' Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

*Spoilerfix is for telling you what happens before it happens- not afterwards. They have episode information for at least 5 weeks ahead for the Gilmore Girls and a lot of good spoiler stuff for Lost. I do like reading the recaps at TWOP even when I've watched the show, but I think they're too long sometimes so sometimes I prefer the "recaplets"!

1. Hello fellow factoiders! Hope everyone is having a fantastic Fall! 2. I have school in about an hour and I don't want to go tonight. 3. It's a pretty dreary day and I just feel like lounging and watching TV. 4. I have a test tonight and I didn't have much time to study since class last Thursday...I'm hoping it's an easy test! 5. Steve an I took a drive to Lancaster last night to meet with our DJ for the wedding. 6. He is such a nice guy and a real professional. We can't wait to dance our butts off at our reception! 7. That was my last "final" meeting for the wedding, thank God! We just have to send a few final payments out and then all is well. 8. Got my seating chart done on Sunday and my placecards all done too. It sure felt good to cross that off my list! 9. I should really go look over my notes again for tonight's test. Have a good night everyone!

1. i'm back from a long posting break in the facts thread. i missed it! 2. for anyone who doesn't know, i moved over the weekend and i'm really liking the new place. 3. the cat and dog finally had a bonding moment tonight. the cat tolerates the dog, at best, but i think it's helping that they stay here together all day. the dog was laying beside me tonight, and the cat comes to me, and the dog starts sniffing her head, and she turned her face down like she was going to let her love on her! OMG! this is a major breakthrough...and she knew it was the dog, not me! 4. i got myself a fake janey robe last night...at walmart for under $20...i had to buy size 2xl cause that's all that was left, but i LOVE it! it's pink. it's SO SO soft! 5. saw the movie in her shoes on sunday. i really liked it and will probably buy it on dvd when it comes out. 6. the passenger side rear view mirror got knocked off (i ran into it when i had clothes in my arms moving). the only thing holding it on was the electric wire. my poor little car just gets more ghetto-looking all the time. a replacement mirror will cost at least $50...even though all i need is the housing...sheesh. 7. lola bean got a new collar and harness tonight...they are a baby pink color. she doesn't get the whole going outside on a leash deal...she's used to my mom's fenced-in back yard. 8. i'm still so sad that i didn't get to go to nashville over the weekend with the group. sounds like i could have used some of their expertise when i went in march. my friend and i got lost on more than one occassion, and also left the opryland mall literally running because we already needed to be at the airport...ooopsy. i felt like i was on the amazing race and was also afraid people were going to think we had shoplifted....that just proves that i could never be on the amazing race. that stressful feeling sucked! 9. i got my hair chopped off last weekend....at least 4 inches. i like it when it is fixed, but it looks crappy at work and i can't pull it into a ponytail anymore. it really needed it though...but i'm still not used to it. 10. it has taken me almost half an hour to come up with 10 facts...i'm really out of practice.... happy tuesday!

1. Stayed home today in my jammies to read, write and do library research. I'm liking half.com and the used books on amazon.com. Also did a ton of interlibrary loan. Need to type up a midterm exam tonight, and then I'm ready for tomorrow. It is nice to have a bit of time for resting up after the Nashville trip and the week of exhaustion right before. Have a great evening!

1) Today is GiddyGrin's Birthday. I spent yesterday fixing her favorites for a special dinner. Today her mother is coming to visit and taking her out. 2) Today is also the day our city honors fallen firefighters. Sarcastic Smirk is looking very handsome in his dress uniform. I think they should wear those dress uniforms more often. 3) I'm catching up on the Nashville Noise gathering. We are all very sad that we missed this one. 4) I need to clean my house, why does it seem that houses get messier when you are gone than when you are home living in it?

1. I'm making 2 dozen CD copies of pictures I took this past summer while on our annual River Rafting Float trip in Montana and Idaho. 2. I'm a Picture Animal! I've selected 650 out 700+ pictures I took with my digital camera to copy onto these blank CD data discs. I took pics of all the folks who were rafting on the river...you know...action shots! I also took pictures during camp life activities as well. 3. I'll be seeing the majority of these people over the weekend at our potluck gathering to share pictures and reminisce about our trips along the rivers of Montana and Idaho. 4. I was alerted that a River Rafting Photography Co. was along the banks of our last river trip and took pictures of us as we hit a wicked set of white water rapids. So I went to the website and viewed our pics! I went ahead and ordered a few and they were rather pricey, but oh well! Then I went ahead and snatched 2 of the pics to include with my 650 pics...these 2 pics have the watermark over the center of the pictures but you can still see our raft and see me holding my camera high and taking pictures while riding these rapids. 5. I look very, very excited...and I was...LOL!

1. Coco, that still sounds like an amazing trip! 2. Baby niece just got here. We're going to go run some errands and run by the bead store (hush SS, lol) to pick up some special beads for my oldest niece. 3. She's having a root canal today, poor baby. 4. She also showed the most improvement in her class this month so she earned Student of the Month. 5. Friday my sis, mom, me, my little adopted sis, and one of my sil's are going to watch her accept her award. 6. And then we are going out for lunch and girl time to tell my little adopted sis all the things they don't tell you when you're pregnant cuz she's making me an auntie again! We're all just besides ourselves with joy. This last year was so bad that we really need something good to look forward to and now she's going to be a mommy! I'm getting all teary again and grinning ear to ear. Totally cool!

1. I am sitting here enjoying my 2 x 2 Timmy's....yummy. 2. It's cold, wet, and dreary here which makes my coffee extra yummy. 3. I was happy to see Jbean back to posting in here. 4. Coco your trip sounds wonderful. Did you enjoy it though? Although it does sound wonderful I would never do it myself. I'm to much of a wimp for that. I have a bad habit of not doing things that are possibly out of my control....like I said...wimp! 5. My monitor here at work is going for a dive so I have to go shopping for a new one....yea me! 6. Hubby went back on afternoon's this week so it's just me and baby spitfire in the evenings. 7. Last night we made oatmeal raisin cookies. He loved to bang his spoon in the bowl and fling it all over the kitchen. We had a blast.

1. My husband is in PA for 2 weeks and I miss him so much already, and he doesn’t come home until the 22nd. 2. I don’t think I can make it until then. 3. It’s the longest we have ever been apart since we met in 98. 4. The cats miss him a lot too. 5. Eddie has been crying all night, carrying his mouse around looking for his “daddy”. 6. Not sure if Zippy misses his “daddy” but he sure misses his daddy’s shoes. 7. Zippy has a shoe fetish. 8. My shoes will do if Zippy HAS to settle for them, but he’s totally gaga over my husband’s shoes.

1. Mornings, bleck. 2. Two classes in the library today. Science classes doing research on habitats and animals. 3. Jaycees meeting tonight. I haven't seen these guys in forever. I was out of town so much of the summer, and then last month on meeting night I was babysitting. 4. They are a good group. 5. We're going to Busch Gardens next weekend. 6. I wish I was still asleep. 7. It is supposed to be "mostly cloudy" today. 8. I've worked out two days in a row. Really need to stick with it. My workouts have gotten way too sporadic. 9. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

1. I agree with Hermie-mornings....Bleck 2. I don't know what the heck is going on around here anymore, but my small town isn't so small anymore. 3. This week alone a police officer was killed (by a stupid drunk driver) and a young woman has gone missing. 4. I remember when this town only had one grocery store and a Kmart 5. Now there is any kind of store you can think of, any kind of diner and two high schools! 6. When I moved here there wasn't even a high school! 7. I finally have coffee in my house! 8. This weekend I am planning on taking it easy since the two weekends following it are going to be filled with family and crazyness! 9. My brother officially moved out last weekend although he hasn't been staying here since he and his GF got more serious about a year ago-I miss him, but he will be here for dinner tonight! 10. I am planning on buying an eliptical machine to put in the room he left empty

1. I'm going to let you all in on how big of a moron I can be with the right circumstances. 1.1 This morning I set up the ironing board in the kitchen to iron Dakota's shirt. 1.2 I also cleaned the kitchen and cuz I was running short on time, I threw the plastic bag of trash on top of the stove to keep the dog out of it. 1.3 Awhile ago, I grabbed a basket of laundry and took it into the kitchen. Set it down on the ironing board so I could swap clothes from the washer to dryer (which Darren finally fixed!) 1.4 When I set the basket down, the ironing board slid across the kitchen floor. 1.5 It somehow turned all the knobs on for the stove. 1.6 I was tossing clothes in the dryer when I smelled burning plastic. 1.7 Ran into the kitchen, saw all the burners on, and my bag of trash on fire. 1.8 Grabbed the flaming bag, and a pot holder and started beating the bag. 1.9. Then realized I was standing there holding a flaming bag! Threw it in the kitchen sink and turned the water on. Can we all say, "MORON?!" 2. Glad I planned on cleaning the stove today, cuz after that mess it so needs it! Anyone know how to rid a house of the burnt plastic smell?
