1. Congrats to the newlyweds! 2. I am making brownies for a cookout. 3. I love the taste of brownie batter. It makes my mouth sing! 4. I have had a lovely weekend. My parents were in town and we were all together yesterday. They left in the afternoon. 5. The cookout is with my sis and BIL. Very casual. 6. We may go to the pool. 7. The students finally come back tomorrow. It will be good to see them. They help deflect from my repressed co-librarian. 8. It's officially football season! Yay! My Hokies won last night. Barely, but hey, they won! 9. Happy holiday, all!

1. Congratulations to the newlyweds!! 2. This is going to be quick since I have to get up at 5AM and its now 10:30PM. 3. I'm so sad to be leaving my precious grandbaby! Waaaaaa! 4. She is growing up way too fast. She's walking and saying a few words and has 4 teeth. 5. Her first birthday party was a blast! 6. I have the sweetest son-in-law in the world. He's so good to me. 7. My daughter is another story. 8. I'll write more about that after I get settled at home. 9. I'll be writing up a whole road trip post after I get back. 10. I have lots of pics to post also and I can't wait to get back to my darling hubby and my cats. "See" you all later!

1. Watched the "Survivor on the Barbie" marathon yesterday. 2. Pool is back to clear and blue....finally. 3. We have a concert for babies and pre-schoolers today 4. I am hoping to meet with Julieboo this weekend if she is still going to St. Louis....my brother is not bringing his kids or coming (he works for the power company and they sent most of his crew down for hurricane clean-up...he has to stay in case his town has an outage.) 5. I should have done laundry yesterday. DANG! 6. Need to get my desk organized at work. The last couple of days, there were just reams and reams of paper plopped on it in a random fashion! 7. Forgot to reserve my hotel for next week in North Carolina, and now will have to hustle or rent a car or something.

1. We are back from our camping trip and I posted a little tiny update in my folder with a few pics 2. I haven't turned on the TV yet or checked in on BB news 3. My brother went to Burning Man 4. He came over last night and had so many stories to tell and could not sit still 5. He loved every second of his trip and is now trying to convince me to go next year 6. I think I am over the "festival" experience myself, but who knows....maybe he will convince me to go 7. I have an appointment today to get a touch up on my tattoo and also have the words "Hearts and thoughts face away" written around it. I don't know if I will go though-not feeling much like tattooing today. 8. I really want a smore.

1. I am back after being gone away for the past week. Our holiday was terrific, but I kept feeling guilty about having such a good time knowing what victims of Hurricane Katrina are going through. 2. I made a donation to the relief efforts. 3. On holidays we went to Niagara Falls and went on the Maid of the Mist - it was awesome. We also went to Mall of America in Minneapolis and went to a Twins game. 4. DH and I also got to meet some of my BIL's biker friends. It was neat to meet so many motorcycle enthusiasts. 5. DH is going to be buying a bike in the next year, so maybe we will get to go to some Rallies in 2006. I don't drive bikes, but I enjoy riding them! 6. Today was the first day back to university for me. I am completing my second BA in English and Philosophy. All my classes this year are philosophy ones and so far I am absolutely loving it! 7. I am NOT loving the homework load that got dumped on me today. 8. Due to the above mentioned dumping, I will probably have to lurk more than post on the boards. I will also have to be selective about my TV viewing habits. We have no Tivo at this house. 9. I am now off to pick up my DS 6 who started his first day of Grade 1 today! He gets to stay for lunch with his friends at school and is now officially in a classroom with "big kid desks." Why do children have to grow up so fast?

1. MORNINGS SUCK. 2. I really, really, REALLY have a hard time in the mornings. 3. Usually by 10 a.m., I'm fine, but those first 3-4 hours are usually terrible for me. 4. My dad is a morning person. He wakes up early, quickly and in a good mood. 5. I wish I had gotten that from him. 6. I really like Skootz's quote of the day. 7. I need to get moving. 8. Today should be an easy day at work. It was good to see the kids yesterday. 9. Our weather lately has been beautiful. 10. I hope everyone has a good day.

1. Thank you to all the congrats from everyone! 2. I should still be asleep, but when (YAY, I get to use it again!!!) DH's alarm for PT went off this morning, of course I woke up. 3. It's 6:30, maybe I'll be lucky enough to get a small 45 minute nap before he gets back. 4. Yesterday, DH (WOO!) was able to take care of one bit of paperwork, so we can get paid BAH (housing money). 5. Today, we begin the rest of the paperwork. I have to get an ID, get stickers for my car, get enrolled in DEERS (whatever that is, I'll know by the end of the day!) and any other fun I'm-married-to-an-army-guy stuff that needs to be done. 6. I think I'll try to nap now. A good day to all! Mrs. Saxy

1. Even though I'm working hard and being productive, I still need Hermione's planner. Laundry--not done, desk---still a mess, but it's a different mess, hotel room---reserved, many students problems---solved. More of the same today! 2. We had a workshop last night, and it went very well. The clinician was more of a music salesman then a musician. Hopefully I was the only one that was bothered by this.

1. Morning all... I'm a morning person if people just leave me alone for the first hour 2. I enjoy the posting the daily inspiriation...and i am glad that people hear are happy to read them. 3. kids had a good first day at school. Laura, who started Gr. 1 this year, was tired at the end of the day, I can just imagine what a bear she will be at the end of the week. They have around 1 hour bus ride home, so that makes it longer for them too.

1. I haven't posted facts in too long. My son's friends have started bringing their potential female friends to meet me and I actually have input, LOL 2. I had the best burger the other day. It was as big as a Personal Pan Pizza from Pizza Hut. It was called a Monster Burger from The Crazy Canadian, the home of the Monster Burger. 3. Staying busy ...DD is playing volleyball and #2 is playing tennis. They also are taking hard classes in school, so I may be looking for a Chemistry expert around here soon. My DD is taking AP Chemistry, and that's something I am no help with. 4. Marm, my niece is going to your school these days!

1. The laptop I used has died. I now have to share computer time with 2 teenagers, college/highschool homework, 1 dd8 neopets.com, and dh... 2. DS approved Eagle Project for the Forest Preserve was actually done by the Forest Preserve, and they said "oops" 3. So we are scrambling to get him excited to just do the Native Plant Restoration Project!! 4. Paperwork must be filled out, signed by 3 different groups to submit for approval the Eagle Scout Project Coordinator - by Saturday!! 5. We are learning about the Local Boy Scout Troops and Councils in need... we're hoping to put something together to reach out... we know that this catastrophe will have long term implications, and we feel short term needs are being met, better than I can help today, so we're thinking maybe of doing something for Spring Break to help Boy Scout Camps recover... ??? Does that seem to soon to brainstorm ideas?

1. Woke up today with 2 cats sleeping on my bed. My plan to have them wake me up early failed miserably. I am living on Pacific time BB's fault. 2. Had to go to a 2.30 meeting in town, so went in early and: 3. Got a haircut. 4. Bought groceries 5. Went for an hour long walk along the river and up through the cemetery. All part of my excercise regime. 6. Went to the library and choose books by authors culled from the library thread.

1. My cats rise the same time everyday, crying to be fed at the same time everyday. 2. They cry to be fed at dinnertime. The same time everyday. 3. They are now chasing each other (all three of them) around the living room. 4. They are now hissing at each other. 5. Why do I have 3 cats?!!! 6. It's time to find the couch and sit and read. 7. I am very tired tonight.

1. 43 days, only 43 days...I'm freaking out! 2. I ordered my veil today - yep, freaked me out! 3. I also ordered my place cards - really didn't freak me out too much, maybe a 3 on a scale of 1-10. 4. I feel like I still have so much to do. When will my checklist stop growing and start shrinking??? 5. My second and final (thank GOD) shower is on Sunday. It's for Steve's side and I know 5 (if that) people from his family. I can only pray that those 5 are in attendance! 6. Next week is a busy one for me: shower on Sunday, I start school again on Tuesday night, Wednesday is my third (and hopefully last, dear lord, please!) dress fitting, Thursday night is school again, Saturday is my Bachelorette party, and then Sunday I have my work picnic. The week after next isn't looking too hot either. 7. I'm off tomorrow (thank GOD again) but have a bunch of errands to run, one of which includes going to the jewelers to look at yet another wax mold of my custom wedding ring. This is wax #5 and it better be what I want. I've only explained what I want the ring to look like a million times plus took them pictures to better illustrate my desires. Grrrr... 8. I need a vacation. Happy Thursday TVCH!

1. 43 days? That didn't even exist in my countdown.. I started at 13!! LOL Froggie, you will be FINE!! The important thing is that in the end, you are married. 2. Most paperwork got done yesterday. I have an ID, I'm enrolled in mysterious DEERS, I'm on my DH's bank acct (we had to go back a 2nd time because we forgot to get checks and me a debit card), and my car is registered on post. 3. Today we took care of my health insurance, it will go into effect Oct 1. Good thing I don't need to go to the doctor before then. heeheehee 4. DH had to go into work. He's hoping they'll let him off for lunch, if not, he says I'm goin up to eat with him at battallion. 5. I'm headed back to my parents this afternoon, after lunch. Gotta pack for our roadtrip to SC and NY. 6. I need to get back before the bank closes so I can cash a check and go to walmart tonight. I want to stock up on stuff for the trip. 7. My mom said she'd do my laundry while I was gone (I love my mom) but I will have a bag of STINKY DH clothes to do. It's the stuff that was in his duffel and ruck sack from JRTC.. It's gross... Man, I'm a good wife! ;) 8. I hope to post more wedding photos this evening. I want to do it before we go on leave. Mrs. Saxy

Remember Factoiders, she's still in the newlywed phase. I'm counting "Mrs. Saxy" with that purple icon as NUMBER 9.
...(This is titled "tinycat". I don't get it or should that be, I don't "see" it. Can anyone clue me in?? Thanks!) Carry on....

9.1 The mouth is on the right hand side and is open withthe ears on top. It's like a mountain lion, or lioness, no mane.

LOL Coco. Once a schtickler, always a schtickler! The cat is a side profile, facing right. It took me a while to figure it out too. It's mouth is open like it's growling. See it now???

1. 43 days Froggie!!! Yay! Soon it will be over and you can relax. Where are you going on your honeymoon? 2. Post pictures, Saxy!!! 3. Jake started kindergarten today, I almost started crying, but got sidetracked when I saw someone I knew at school and started talking. It was a good diversion. 4. He looked like such a big boy walking in with his back pack that hangs down to his knees. 5. We pick him up in an hour and 10 minutes and then we are going out to lunch to celebrate his first day. 6. I forgot to make the sign that Coco suggested when I took pictures that said "Off to school", but I did take lots of pictures!! I'll try to post some later. 7. I hope he has a good day, I'm really anxious to go get him. 8. I know he will do great academically, but I am a little worried about him socially. 9. I feel like an expecting mom...anxious and nervous. 10. Can you tell?

1. Jewels - We're going to El Dorado Royale in Riviera Maya, Mexico. We can't wait! 1.5 I can't wait to see pics from your little boy's first day of school. I'm sure he'll do great and be anxious to tell you all about it at lunch today. Have fun!

1. tiny cat is a tiny version of the ksu mascot - which is referred to as the powercat. KSU's mascot is the wildcats(and ahem - why do we not have equal kansas representation here? where is the jayhawk icon? ) 2. I'm ready for a nap but I don't think my boss would go for that right about now.
