1. Hang in there SS and family! {{{SS}}} 2. My niece got THREE Monopoly games for Christmas after she was so awesome at age 8 at the "not Jr." version over Thanksgiving. We all played the "Sponge Bob" version which is funny and fun....there is a marker for "Plankton" that moves around everytime a 1 is thrown and ends the game right away when it gets back to Go. Great for shorter attention spans! We never did buy a house, um, er, pineapple! 3. I also like the Lord of the Rings version of Risk that I got a couple of years ago at the Times Square Toys R Us. It is awesome! 4. I need to get dressed and do a ton of errands today. Especially the bank, grocery store, and getting my airline tix to NYC. 5. I CAN'T believe that I have a former student in "Naked Boys Singing" and that the show has moved to the Times Square district. 6. I paid my car off this month! YIPPEE!!!! 7. I am so happy now that Christmas is over. I have to get another hymnfest ready for Sunday, and I am really procrastinating about it. Guess that I should go in and practice. I will feel better when I get this all set and ready. Happy Friday! TGIF!

1. I woke up sick today. 2. I called in and told the staff I would not be in. 3. I went back to bed and slept 6 hours straight, getting up at 2pm. 4. The house is quiet right now because the boys and CocoMan are gone for the day. 5. I'm still feeling sick but the extra 6 hours of sleep have made me feel a bit stronger. 6. It's a head and chest cold...lots of yucky coughing...ugh! 7. For those of you I had the honor and privilege of having dinner at Bergoff's in Chicago, I've got some news for you if you haven't already heard. 8. Today's LA Times has a little sidebar that Bergoff's is closing on February 28, 2006 after 107 years! 9. Okay, my computer time is now over, I've got to go lay down again...sighhh

1. Ack Coco I hope you feel better quickly! 2. Our day started early. Or maybe ended early? I went to bed about 3am and laid there close til 5 watching tv. Darren was up by 6. 3. I got up at 9 and threw Kota in the tub, got her dressed and got Caleb moving while Darren showered. Then I packed their overnight bags, loaded Kota's bike in the car and Darren dropped them off at sis'. 4. Darren and I then did my normal payday routine and went around town paying bills. 5. We had an early lunch and went to the mall. I hate the mall, I really really do. I bought some towels at Harris Gottshalks and picked up a few things for the neighbor girls birthday at Claires. 6. Headed off to Barnes and Nobles where I bought a book and then to Best Buy for Darren to look for a game, he didn't find the one he wanted so he asked them to order it. 7. We raced home where I wrapped the birthday gift and then off to moms to drop off some money so she could get the kids dinner tonight. We found out there that the family dinner had been cancelled and one of the brothers was bbq'ing instead. Kids would get to go to the party and would make it in time for the bbq. 8. We were off to my sisters to get the kids changed and dropped off at the bowling ally. Took the kids to the bowling ally where we stayed long enough to warn them they better listen to the neighbor adults. I have no doubt they did cuz neighbor dad is much stricter than we are and if they get into trouble with them he'd have them over doing physical labor, lol. Since I got no phone calls, I'm guessing they were my perfect little angels. 9. We'd decided to go see Chronicles of Narnia and then go out to dinner. We had about an hour before the movie started so came home to wait. I was watching the clock, 45 minutes til it started, 30 minutes...neither of us was moving, lol. About 15 minutes before I looked at Darren and asked if he wanted to order Chinese for dinner and stay home and watch a dvd. I think I enjoyed that even more! He ran to get dinner, then we changed into jammies, popped the movie in, ate dinner and cuddled up on the couch in comfort. 10. I know I'm getting old. I ran to the grocery store earlier and was giggling at a group of young marines who were in line in front of me talking about how this was the first free time they had had in a while and were going to party. Party they were too! They had tons of alcohol and beer....and candy! I spared a moment of pity for the hangovers they'd have in the morning and then uttered the words, "when I was younger, we used to party like that too!" Add to it that date night ended at 9:30 with Darren almost asleep before his head hit the pillow, and at 32 and 34 I know we're old, lol! 10.5 We really did have a good time. The past couple of months the only free time we've had has been for Christmas shopping, that frantic running around town, even if we have time to stop and get food we're in a hurry to finish so we can get back to the shopping stuff. It was nice to be in no rush, even to run boring errands together, because we didn't really have to be anywhere and had all day together. Now I'm in the middle of doing my housework so that tomorrow morning we have some free time before we have to pick the kids up.

1. Ack..just realized its the last day of my year long sticklers pass...better get my last day out of it 2. Hope you are feeling better soon Coco..being sick is not fun. 3. We are heading with the kids and a few other families to a hotel today for a day of fun etc. Looking forward to getting away, even if it is only for 24 hours. 4. This past week, we got the the computer at the barn hooked up now through an antenna and a couple of bridges and we are now able to see and run the computer system at the barn from the house. So if we get any alarms for the feed system or something else, we can check it out from the house through a computer. It is kinda neat. Dh was on it last night and I could see him changing numbers so I went and changed the page on him lol 5. Well, I would like to wish everyone here a Very Happy New Years and all the best to you and yours in 2006.

1. I can't believe in 6 days I'll be 40 years old! 2. I think it's amazing that, with all that life has dealt me, I'm still here! 3. I am proof of the power of the human spirit, just as I believe Skootz & her family are. It's incredible what we, as humans, can go through and still persevere. 4. I am so thankful to be heading into 2006 with loving relationships, a healthy, happy family and wonderful friends! 5. Happy New Years to you & yours!!!

1. It is a totally nasty day here. It is cold, windy, cloudy and raining. 2. Darren's on his way to get our kids and the nieces. Rest of the kids will be here later. 3. As soon as he gets home I'm taking the girls shopping. We have to pick up lunch, dinner, and party munchies for tonight. 4. We are also going to Michaels to pick up one fun scrapbook item for each of them. Since both the older girls got scrapbooks, we're going to have a little scrapbook party and work on them for awhile to pass some time today. If I give little niece a coloring book she'll be occupied and that leaves Darren and Caleb able to play a game while he waits for the boy cousins to show up. 5. Sis is having the New Year's Eve party at her house. She asked us to send over spare blankets cuz they expect a bunch of folks to crash there overnight rather than trying to go home. I love it, means very little worrying about us having to go pick people up tonight. 6. I hope everyone has a very safe and Happy New Year!

1. Im making some changes all around so you probably won't see me posting for a bit 2. You can get filled in on that HERE 3. I am planning on spending the New Year with the same group of friends (minus those who moved away and couldn't make it this year) that I have been ringing in the New Year with for about a decade now 4. We'll be having a poker tournament-I hope I bring home the pot! 5. Its is raining like crazy here and flooding everywhere 6. Luckily our house is nowhere near the flood zone, but I wonder how Escapee is holding up...and Landi (heard Napa was flooding!) 7. I hope you all have a wonderful New Year!

1. I have a cold...it's better today, but SHEESH! 2. Need to practice for tomorrow's hymnfest. But I don't want to get dressed....maybe I'll practice at home. 3. I have two of my course syllabi done for Spring. I just have to do one more and it's a new course, so that will take a bit of time. 4. I have one of my three sessions for the state conference ready to go. And the research paper just needs to be run off. The second handout needs to have two more songs inserted, and I need to basically start from scratch on the third, as I lost the original when my computer drowned last fall. 5. I also found an old conference paper and had fun editing it last night and today. I need to cut another 8 pages and re-read it and decide which journal I should submit it to. 6. Tomorrow I will go to Office Max and order two more bookcases. My mom is coming sometime next week to help me get organized/unpacked. I REALLY need the bookcases, as there are boxes and boxes of books and all nine of my bookcases are full! LOL! 7. Iowa State is playing TCU (what school is that? Texas Christian?) in the Houston Bowl....GO CLONES! 8. I know it is a cliche, but I am going to lose weight next year. It's either that or buy a new wardrobe again! LOL

1. I want to wish everyone a Very Happy New Year, all 365 days of it. 2. I just finished shoveling half of the snow we got the past few days and my body hurts. 3. Today I had to go and close down my retail part of my business, I was losing too much money between the lack of sales and the rent I had to pay. 4. I have no plans for tonight, I'll probably hang out here or watch movies. 5. I am putting off starting to get my tax stuff ready. 6. I am hoping I have a better 2006 than I had a 2005.

1. Caleb just informed me he's feeling left out that I'll be working with the girls on their scrapbooks. 2. Next week Dakota is spending a day with grandma so I told him that we'd go buy a scrapbook and spend that day working on it alone together. 3. He said cool, only does he have to use all the little girly stickers? Hehe, I told him he could do it however he wanted to, stickers, no stickers, he could draw pictures or write sentences whatever he wants. 4. Darren's in taking a nap. He wasn't feeling too great. I'm hoping he'll feel better after the nap. 5. It has gotten even colder and windier than it was. It's been sprinkling pretty much non stop since about noon too. 6. Youngest niece is potty training, she's so cute. She keeps running in to sit on her little potty chair, sometimes she doesn't even bother pulling her pants down. I think she might just like sitting there, lol. 7. Oops, I'll take that back about the sprinkling, it is pouring now!

1. War, son #2 scrapbooks, there are lots of "manly" stickers, papers, etc. Especially if he's into sports. 2. I'm suffering from cedar fever. 3. It's so dry down here that there is a total fireworks ban, but I bet someone will violate that. 4. I hope the idiots that do violate it have plenty of water nearby. 5. I had a wonderful holiday, am just sad it's over. 6. I can't believe that #2 graduates in 5 months and my baby got her drivers license. 7. Everyone in the flood zones, pls take care 8. Happy New Years, Everyone!

1. I'm still sick today with a head and chest cold. 2. Lots of coughing which makes my chest hurt. 3. I've been sleeping off and on all day long and my hope is that this will help me to get better sooner. 4. DS#2 left at noon from the SF Bay area after visiting the past few days with his girlfriend. 5. He's been calling CocoMan to check in and says it's really a rough drive with all the heavy rain and winds along Interstate 5. 6. Tomorrow he turns 21 years old and he wanted to be home for his birthday party with family and some friends. 7. CocoMan has been a lifesaver to me, taking care of all the details for DS's little party tomorrow. 8. I hope I'm feeling a lot better by tomorrow morning. I'm feeling so yukie right now that it's only got to get better, right?? 9. CocoMan and I are missing a New Years' Eve party with a bunch of good friends. I'm bummed. 9.a Happy New Year to Everyone!

1. happy new year everyone! 2. coco, sorry you are sick...remember it was just 2 years ago tonight...you had a little too much champagne, and ended up adopting a bunch of us cyber-kidlets? sad there will be no champagne for you tonight. hope you are feeling better soon! 2. i'm staying in tonight. rented a couple of movies to watch and bought these mini quiche things at sams today, that are SO good. i'll make some for dinner and drink my bottle of champagne. 3. all my friends are otherwise occupied this evening. i'm kind of glad. after my birthday drunk-fest last week, i'm not so sure i could handle a night like that again. 4. i'm extremely tired tonight for some reason. 5. i have a sick feeling that keith and nicole are getting married this evening. sigh. it will be interesting to see, since they have both adamantly denied any kind of romance. i think he could do better. 6. i tried to make peanut butter fudge for the first time last night....i'm pretty sure i overcooked it. it tastes ok, but it is kind of dry. 7. i'm starting the dieting again come the new year (tuesday to be exact since i'm off on monday), so i'm eating what i want for the next couple of days. 8. i'm going on a cruise with 2 jazzercisers! i'm already the fat one of the group. i've got to lose at least a little weight. sigh. why can't we just all be a size 6 naturally? 9. i finally got some pictures reprinted from my friends film from the keith urban concert we went to a month ago. she got 2 really good ones of when he flew above us on that trapeze thing...here they are:
look at that smile!
look at that.....errrrr 10. i think that is a good note to "end" on. hope you all have a fantastic new year!

.5 Yeah, Lady, I've seen the more manly scrapbook stuff. I think Caleb was really hinting that he'd rather go shopping for his own stuff and wondering if he'd be stuck using the girlie stuff, lol. 1. Kids enjoyed (mostly) their little party. Youngest niece slept from about 6:30 to 7:30, woke up and ate a little and took her meds then went right back to sleep til about 11. She was awake til about 1:30, now she's sleeping peacefully. 2. They kicked Darren and I out of the living room and did their own thing. They played twister and ate and danced, then they tattled and whined. They were all up way past their bedtimes, so I figure that was behind the tattles and whining. They had a good time and all of them made it til after midnight. Considering the fact that it's almost 3:30 am and I'm still wide awake I'm hoping they all sleep in tomorrow morning, lol.

1.Jbean, you aren't the only one that is disappointed in Keith and Nicole's nuptuals. My coworker is madly in love with him (she IS married, but said if Keith comes calling she's answering, LOL) and she keeps ragging on how unattractive Nicole is.... wish I was that ugly! LOL!! 2. I was in bed by 10pm last night, so no New Years fun for me... New Years really does seem like the one holiday that if you don't drink, you might as well skip it entirely.... oh well... I'm probably one of the few that won't need an Exedrin this morning!! 3. Jordan got an ipod nano for Christmas and it holds 500 songs... I was thinking who could ever come up with 500 songs they'd want to download... well he's up to 100 after a week!! LOL! It only took me 3 days of constant hairpulling to get the stupid Itunes site to load onto my computer. Where was Drah when I needed him! HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!!!
