1) Coco I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that kind of ENTERTAINMENT... its is just sooooo up my alley. You are so lucky! If I couldn't be there, wink wink, then I am so glad you could. I'm a freelance writer, so trust me when I say you did a masterful job describing the evening. (Do we have an applause gif anywhere? If so, insert here.) ;) Number 9 made me laff. 2) Gotta get ready, shower, get mom and me to hairsalon asap, go to 40th surprise party for VinBlanche's buddy's girlfriend. 3) Have a great day everyone!

01. Coco, glad you liked my creative numbering. 02. I was told each fact could only be a sentence long. 03. So, since I had more sentences for each point, I made subsequent sentences sub-points. 04. The concert sounds awesome!

1. I hope it's not one sentence per fact! I'd be in serious trouble, LOL. 2. Cleaning day here. I've got one room left, plus the floors. Kids have to do their rooms today as well. 3. Caleb's trying to earn some money for a video game, so he's also going to be doing some yard work later on. 4. Coco, the concert sounds great! We're going next Saturday to see REO Speedwagon and the Styx, I'm totally stoked! 5. And I just got off the phone with my sis who is going to keep the kids overnight next weekend, so it's going to be a big date night for us!

1. Gosh, I'm with War! I hope it's not just one sentence per fact or I would also be in serious trouble....especially by those schticklers!! 2. Yeah, I loved the Hollywood Bowl concert very, very much!! I go every year at this time. 3. Today brings CocoMan and I into other plans than we had in mind. 4. We're going to help his mother find a new or used car since her car was written off as totaled when she was rear-ended about 2 weeks ago. 5. We're trying to convince her to buy a used Volvo because they are safe cars. 6. Have a great weekend Factoiders!!

1. I am going to be a rebel and write more than one sentence in a "fact" line. Heck - I do it all the time anyways !LOL 2. I just got home from attending a motorcycle parade/rally. All the bikers brought toys to donate to under-priviledged kids at Christmas. 3. I don't ride but my DH does. My sons and I just watched the parade from the street and then met up with the bikers at the gathering afterwards. 4. We walked around and looked at all the bikes. There was everything from Vespa scooters, to Harleys, to custom choppers, to sporty "crotch rockets". 5. Great fun was had by all. The Salvation Army filled their trucks with toys - there was a virtual mountain of them! 6. I invited my BIL and SIL over for supper tonight. They were riding at the rally with DH. We are going to have cabbage rolls, perogies, and homemade deer sausage. 7. Now I have to hurry and "Wargod" my house for the company! Ack! Why do I invite people over last minute??? Actually, my house is not so bad...and it is just family coming over...Right?!?!? LOL.

1. I haven't done facts in a long time 2. I had a weird day today, partly filming a video for the Red Cross. 3. The other part was spent making final arrangements for a memorial for my boyfriend Robert's mom who passed away Wednesday night. 4. Physically I am exhausted, mentally, I am drained. 5. I am finding it hard to walk with the problem in my leg. (Ruptured a vein last week and my knee problems) 6. I really really hate to talk about my physical problems. 7. I am disappointed I did not get to see Spy and her hubby this weekend. 8. Tomorrow will be a sad day for Robert, and I am heartbroken for him.

1.Grazed in News and Views for a while,plenty to ruminate on in that thread,plus there were a couple of quizzes to do. 2.I love quizzes they are such fun,there was the ideology selector and the Christian Science Monitor's 'Are you a Neocon?'. 3.Apparantly my ideology is Radical. 4.Apparently I am not a Neocon I am a liberal. 5.Really all this means is I AM Canadian. 6.In news and views Vee said 'Whether a term is a label depends upon the context in which it is used' Vee you are smart. 7.I discovered the Puppy cam and the Africa cam on the Real one superpass,for sure now I cannot cancel. 8.Today was the fourth Saturday of the month, dump day, whoo hooo,I love taking stuff to the dump 9.This evening I am going to have an Eastenders marathon and watch all those hours of video that I taped whilst feeding my BB addiction.

1. I just started doing facts. 2. I'm really really hoping for rain. 3. It's been really windy and cloudy all day so Travis has put up anything that isn't nailed down outside. 4. Then he put together a bag with a change of clothes and flashlights. 5. He is so proud that he knows how to prepare for a tornado. 6. Bless his heart - there has been no mention of even the possibility of a tornado here. 7. Oh, well, it's keeping him busy. 8. I get to see my new great-niece tomorrow for the first time since the day she was born. 9. By the way, did I mention here and in several other threads that I'm hoping for rain. ETA: 10. Finqwik beat me to the punch so I've added an other line.

1. Ginger, I'm so sorry to hear about your bf's mother. 1.2 Serenity, no cleaning needed when it's family, lol. (Or at the least, not much!) Heck, whenever we invite my sis and bil over for dinner one of them always ends up in the kitchen helping with the cooking, LOL. 1.3 I was wrong about the REO concert, after setting it up that sis would keep the kids Saturday night, Darren told me it was really Friday night! Quick call with sis and we got that straightened out.

1. I'm having a craving for a "Fun Dip." 2. I'm having the best weekend. I babysat my niece today while her mom took her brothers to a birthday party. When they got home, we celebrated my sister's birthday, early, with cake. My nephew talked me into spending the night! So right now, I'm having a bout of insomnia and typing this up on my sis's dial-up! Tomorrow sis and I are going to an art show at the lake. I will be sad to go back to work Monday! 2.1 Ginger, I'm sorry about your BF's mom.

1. I'm home from NYC. DH had to stay in Atlanta - his first flight is TUESDAY!! 2. We had a wonderful 2 days in NY. We stayed in a friend's apartment in Brooklyn while she was out of town. We didn't get to do nearly enough because we were only in the city for one full day, but the biggest highlight was seeing Bon Jovi live on the Plaza at the Today Show. He is amazing! 3. From Monday night to Friday night, I slept a total of 19 hours. I came in from the airport at 9:30 Saturday (last) night, fell into bed and woke up 12 1/2 hours later.

1. Happy Birthday Spygirl! Glad you had fun in NYC and seeing my bf on top of that! (Bon Jovi) 2. Today CocoMan and I are driving out to spend the day with dd and her bf. CocoMan is having a bit of a hard time letting his "little girl" (age 24) go. 3. DD and bf invited us to a BBQ at their place. I'm looking forward to both CocoMan and I spending this quality time with both of them so that we can grow stronger in our comfort zone with their relationship. 4. Fall is definitely in the air! It was very cool last night and I turned on my electric blanket....ahhhhhhhhh, so warm!

1. Ginger, my condolences to your b/f. 2. Charlie cut his foot on something yesterday. 3. He is now sporting one of dh's socks, chopped up and taped up on his hind leg. 4. That sock is slippery on the laminate floor, so he has the funniest "limp". He kicks that leg up like he is about to pee and right back down with every step. Hilarious! 5. He is milking it for all it's worth; hasn't needed much dog food for all the treats he has been getting out of 3 different people. Who said white dogs aren't too swift?

1. Ginger, I hope that you can spend the time that you need with Robert at this sad time for him. HUGS! 2. I played a Baptist service today for an organist whose mother died earlier this week. The organist was sitting in the congregation....and that was a little strange! I know that she could not have gotten through the service, and I was happy to help her. 3. Got to learn two new hymns, as I am NOT Baptist. Did the typical MARM thing by cutting off the benediction....HEY, we've been in church long enough...let's just get to the postlude! 4. We are having strong winds, tornado and flood watchs, and lots of rain. It's RITA, and it is already in Illinois. I can't believe it! What we have is bad, and I know that it was 100 times worse in Texas and Louisiana! 5. I was the "Phantom of the Opera" last night and played for a piece from Phantom with the music theater class. We had a great time....AND a party afterwards. 6. Had a great time at the party. It is truly amazing to work with people who get along....and especially amazing that we are all musicians who tend to be tempermental and <perhaps> egotistic. What laughter! What FUN!

1.) Happy Birthday Spy....birthdays are always very special, no matter how old you are. 2.) I'll be celebrating 50 years of life in a couple of weeks. 3.) My son's 18th birthday was yesterday. My daughters birthday will be on Wednesday and my oldest son's is two days before mine. Yep...birthdays are special. 4.) Animals so know when they have you at an advantage. 5.) My cat controls me even more than my ex husband did...an exaggeration yes....but at times it feels that way. 6.) Speaking of kitties I have a very special one right now...she is adorable and has these little, actually big mitten paws. I'll try to find someplace to post her picture. 7.) I had to add 7 as Marm beat me to the punch. But its an easy one. Marm, I have been blessed to see Phantom 4 times, in New York and Toronto. It never, ever ceases to amaze me.

1. I'm at work today still paying back my vacation time from Vegas. 2. I'm now down to 7.5 hrs with 3 weeks left to pay it back. 3. It's kinda cozy here on Sundays as there are no overhead lights and I have my heater on and it's just peaceful. 4. I've lost some of the peacefullness in my life right now. 5. But as mom says and this too shall pass. 6. I got some sushi last night and it was delish. 7. We also watched Beauty Shop last night on On Demand and I loved it. 8. It was well worth the $3.99. 8.2 Sometimes I just want to run away. 8.3 Sometimes I don't.

1. I watched Beauty Shop yesterday during the lull at work! 2. Had to rewind in a couple of places when I got busy. 3. I've been watching the Today Show all week. 4. I didn't get to see MsSpy in the audience though. 5. Sorry to miss seeing MsSpy on her birthday this year 6. But I know she was having more fun in NY 7. My oldest son's friend was in a car accident yesterday. They sewed his upper lip back on and sent him home with three broken vertebrae. 8. My son's 'girl' friend moved back to Hawaii today, and I know he is sad she is gone. 9. He is moving to another house this week and is exhausted. I did the janitorial work at the shop and restocked. We finally have milk!

1. Have to take my sis to the dr tomorrow. She thinks she has a UTI. I'm just going along to keep the baby occupied. 2. Tuesday is picture day at the kids school. Still debating if we're going to get them. School pics are so outragously priced! 3. Yesterday we filled my car up with gas. $46.10. Tonight I took darrens to fill it up...$20.32! There's something so not fair about that, lol. 4. His full tank will get him around 255 miles, mine will get about 216. 5. We also have parent teacher conferences this week. I can't remember what time either one of them is, LOL. I do know both are after 5pm, first year we've had teachers offer them after school hours which is pretty cool cuz Darren can go with me. With him working out of town he usually doesn't get the chance to do stuff like this. 6. I bought a second Christmas gift this weekend, a dvd for Dakota. LOL, I'm getting kinda excited with this, the last few years we've put off shopping til right before Christmas, it's not normal for me to have a jump start, even if it is a small one! 7. Dakota finally fell asleep about an hour ago. No idea why she was up so late tonight! 8. Caleb somehow ran into a brick wall today and banged his knee up. Gave himself a nice bruise. Where's the bubble wrap? 9. The kids cleaned their rooms today. Told them t hey had no choice, I want to clean their carpets this week. Caleb did a reat job, put everything where it belonged and was quite proud of himself. Dakota, lol, her closet looks like it threw up. She's got so much shoved in there she couldn't close the door. 3 guesses on who gets to clean it up! 10. I can't be too upset with her. She's been such a sweetie this weekend. She decided, on her own, that she was going to start collecting money to give to the red cross for hurricane relief. She got herself a bucket and started to hunt up change throughout the house. She even taped a note to the bucket saying what it was for. She wants to give her birthday money (about 21 bucks) as well. We did have a little talk with her at that point. I think donating is great and teaching the kids that it is is important to me, but we want to make sure she understands what she is doing. $21 is a lot of money for a 7 year old and it's important that she knows once she gives it away its not hers anymore. We're not trying to discourage her, but make her fully aware of what she's doing.

1. I got a ticket Thursday to go visit my cousin in Jacksonville, FL. I'm excited, but figuring out the airport stuff is becoming a nightmare because i have so many choices to figure out. Usually I fly out of Appleton or Green Bay, but the tickets were really high so I'm going out of milwaukee on Friday. The flight is at 9 am so I need to either... A. Drive to Milwaukee Thursday night after work (getting there around 11 pm), get a hotel, and then go to the airport in the morning. This will cost the price of a hotel plus about $40 for parking until Monday. B. Drive to Milwaukee Thursday night after work (getting there around 11 pm), get a hotel, and then figure out where I can do a park and ride thing and pay for just the cost of the shuttle and hotel. This would be cheaper, but I worry about leaving my car in milwaukee like that. C. Drive down Friday morning. I'd need to be at the airport by 7:30 to get the parking done, check, in, etc. It's a pretty small airport so that's not a big concern. Thing is, to get there by 7:30 I'd really have to leave here early. It's about 2 hours on a good day from here, but then there's weekday morning rush hour and there's a lot of highway construction going on down there on top of it. I'd probably need to leave by 4:30 to be safe. D. I don't know. I haven't gotten that far yet.

1. I attempted to do a major "wargod" on my living room. Washed walls, pictures, mirrors, windows, wood work. Washed the curtains, ironed them, tried to rehang them but found my mind took the day off. LOL! After hanging 3 sets, all of which were on the wrong windows or the swag valances were backwards I decided to wait until today to try again. My family was laughing too hard to help. 2. SarcasticSmirk is painting the house. This project started a year ago and it's now showing real progress. We have a large house and it's very frightening when he's 4 stories high on a ladder. My help is limited to the parts where I can keep my feet planted solidly on the ground. 3. Everyone loves to tease about names of the colors we are using. Chocolate Milk, Heavy Cream and trimmed in Crabapple Wine.
