1. Welcome Pamznic! I hope you're enjoying TVCH! 2. It's nice to know I have Landi fooled, lol! 3. The battery has died in my laptop. Ordered a new one today. 4. Darren, being a nice hubby, was taking apart the laptop to get the battery and find out what type he needed. Decided to clean my computer so he popped all the keys off. 5. He woke me up early and told me he was going to buy me a new computer. He'd gotten it all taken apart and couldn't get the keys back on. Ok, we went to look, spent a couple hours wandering around, and I was getting in more of a funk. I didn't want to buy a computer, didn't want to spend that much money. We decided to drop the laptop off at the electronics place and see if they could fix it. Halfway home it hit me...external keyboard. So now I have the external keyboard, the optical mouse I got for Christmas and a new battery on the way. Yay! 6. I think I like the new keyboard though it's taken some getting used to. Much bigger than the laptop. But it's pretty nifty, it's got all these great keys for different things like one-key for email, internet, and my top five favorite sites on the web. 7. Sis called me earlier. They were at little adopted bros house when my youngest niece fell down the stairs carrying a truck. Little adopted sis saw her coming down and couldn't move fast enough to grab her...she said the baby slid face first most the way. She bit almost all the way through her tongue. They took her to the doctor (no stitches luckily.) I was all ready to rush over and heap on the auntie Sandy love and spoiling but by then she'd taken some medicine and was sound asleep. Poor baby. 8. Tomorrow we're going to go buy paint for Caleb's room. Monday when they're in school I'll clean his room, take all the furniture out, wash the walls and primer them. Then I'll paint on Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm trying to figure out where he's going to sleep this week! Darren suggested the living room, but we close the hall door and turn the heater down out here and he'd probably freeze. I may throw a sleeping bag on Kota's floor and let him stay there. They might even think it's fun. 9. We're still trying to decide what we want to do tomorrow. Bowling (the cheap .99 cent games) starts at 9am and that may be just a wee bit too early, lol! Sis told me Mervyns was having a huge clearance sale and she'd seen capri pants in Kota's size for 5 bucks plus a lot of jeans between 8 and 10 dollars. I know we're going out there! She needs clothes and ya can't beat those prices. Maybe while we're at the mall, we'll hit the movies or the arcade instead of bowling.

1. War, I'll pair your dead computer battery with my loose power cable that won't charge my battery. YIKES, only an hour left before I have to go into town and get a good cable out of my office. 2. I am playing music by women today, as the church I'm subbing at was supposed to have a "re-inactor" about some woman preacher. Well, the speaker cancelled. Now I am playing music that isn't QUITE under my fingers, but I'm sure it will be ok. 3. That would be OK, not stunning, but OK. 4. I have a plan for my St. Louis conference. Only one night overnight, and driving back home after the concerts on Wed and Thurs. It is two hours away, but I think it is worth it. I still have to teach my classes. 5. I had a program committee meeting of a group that I am the president of. Those old ladies drive me nuts. They don't like anyone's ideas, but don't realize that you won't get people to come out to the same old program every year. 6. I am meeting with my student teachers today. That is always fun! 7. We will be having BIG pizza for lunch. 8. I rested a bit and putzed around on the computer yesterday after the workshop and program meeting. I feel MUCH more refreshed. 9. It is supposed to rain and get a little colder today. I am anxious for spring. 10. Our spring break is not this week, but next week. It can't come soon enough. I am trying to stay home, but have weekends in St. Louis. Think I might see "Rent" on the 18th after my meeting. I need to go through my research to see if I have to go to Madison Wisconsin or not. Have a great week, everyone!

1. Marm, we replaced the power cord for the same reason about six months ago. The nice thing is that my computers an HP and Darren's company is somehow connected to them so he gets an employee discount on their stuff.

1. We went to Mervyns earlier and shopped for Kota some new clothes. Even though I found the same types of deals as I did when we shopped for Caleb's clothes (40-60% off) we spent quite a bit more! Not only does it seem like little girl clothes are more expensive (is this my imagination or not???) but with him we were able to buy five pair of pants/jeans, a tshirt or two and knew he had shirts at home. With her we have to buy outfits, cuz even though she has six pink shirts, none quite match that pair of capri's or that skirt. She got five outfits (2 shirts/capri's, 2 pair of jeans and tshirts, and one skirt and top set) plus leotards to match the skirt and knew socks. We did buy Caleb pair of jeans and a tshirt as well. Both of them should be good til the end of school. He still fits into all the shorts he got last year and they're in good shape, and she now has enough capri's and skirts. I'll probably have to buy her a couple pair of shorts but that should be it til August. 2. Neighbor's driving the kids to school tomorrow (Darren's taking my car cuz mom's borrowing his to go to L.A. and I don't like to drive hers.) For all of about 3 seconds I was pretty excited, all I'd have to do is get up, get the kids ready and out the door and I wouldn't even have to get out of my jammies. Ha! Sis called and asked if I'd watch the baby and I said sure...she said cool, I'll drop her off after I drop off the oldest from school. There goes that quiet morning in my jammies, LOL!

1. I've come to the realization that my little sisters (biological one and the adopted ones) are spoiled freaking rotten. I can't even complain about it cuz I do half of it! 2. I figured this out while shopping for little adopted sis' diaper cake goodies, lol. On the plus side I found some of the cutest stuff! Little baby slippers...their bears! And baby bottles with precious moments little boys on them, awwww. Worst part is I'm not even done, while I picked up everything else I needed for the diaper cake, I still have to shop for the baby album stuff, lol. 3. Got Caleb's pics back from his field trip. He did pretty good...nice clear pics. Didn't get too many with his friends in them, more scenery type, but I am impressed. 4. Dakota wore her new capris today. Hehe, they're so long they look like regular pants, lol.

1. I got the most exciting news today! Remember my Lincoln that my bil took and has been planning to crunch up in the demo derby this coming August? 2. Well, he was talking to an uncle who owns a junk yard about sponsoring him. So far this week he's gotten the car registered to be a demo car so now he can start taking stuff off of it and getting it ready. City ordinances and all he had to wait for that til he could get to work. 3. Anyways, his uncle offered to take the Lincoln once the derby is over and completely crush it. Best news of all...he invited bil to come watch. Bil said he couldn't do it unless I could come. 4. Doing the happy dance, uncle said no problem! Me and bil have been on the phone off and on totally excited about this, lol. I don't know if we're more excited about the derby itself or about watching it get crushed! After all the times that car stranded me across town, all the gas it sucked down, freezing my ass off in the winter and burning up in summer, and loses peices and parts here and there, I will be going nuts with every slam and crunch it takes, lol! 5. I'm going out tomorrow to show sis the baby shower stuff I bought, and I'm going to take the before pic. I plan to take pics through each stage of this process, before, during the tearing it apart and getting it ready for the derby, the derby itself, and now the very final step, watching it becoming a cube, lol!

1. Went to Sams club yesterday morning, got home, cleaned my fridge, folded some laundry then had to lay down.....sooooo tired. 2. Finished laundry folding while Lisa's lunch cooked on stove. After lunch I was sick. Hurray for me...so another day at home with nothing done lol. 3. Last night about 12:30am, Julia woke up and she was sick then about 5 min. later Laura was sick...so off we go. Lisa didn' get sick but we were prepared for her and put a little bowl and towel over he pillow jut in case. 4. This morning, Lisa will be the only one going to school. Julia is laying on the couch, just drained and Laura is trying to put on a brave face saying she can go to school as on of her friends last day of school is today as she is moving away. DH mentioned about taking her in later today if she is feeling better and then she can say goodbye. 5. Me, well I am lucky enough to go and get my gold crown put in on my tooth this morning (not) 6. Tomorrow I am going to work at the pancake house at the sugar bush again and then Sunday a bunch of us are meeting there for lunch and then coming back to our house afterwards. DH's birthday is Monday. 6.1 On Monday, since Nicks dad can no longer leave his house (due to his 02 etc.) I am bringing supper there and cake for Nicks birthday. This will be Nicks last birthday with both parents as we know that his dad will not be around for another one. 6.2 Kids start their week long break from school on Monday too. Have a great day/weekend all!!!!!

kay let me see if I can do this right - 1. My Dear sweet friend passed away on March 9th (she is more like a big sister) she was 61 and died from colon cancer. 2. Yesterday I took my 81 year young Dad in to have Cancer removed from his ear. It supprised me cuz he always wears a hat and sun block. He is home and comfortable. 3. Tonight I am going to my first parents without partners meeting. I lost my husband 9 years ago and am raising a daughter. I didn't want to bring anyone new into our lives until she was older. Next year she is going to High school. I think it's time. 4. Sorry my post isn't very uplifting I sure appreciate having the opportunity to get it out. 5. Peace out -

1. I am home momentarily from my St. Louis conference. 2. Dropped about $100 in the slots at Harrahs. SIGH. But I got a "free" lunch out of it and lots of "points" for future comps. 3. Found a new slot machine that I like and it is a penny slot. Gems drop down and it they match they disappear and you get new ones as a bonus. You can have a chain. Kind of like the game "Gem Shop". 4. Went to the Bascilica last night. Had to buy the CD, though. They echo time in the Bascilica is about 5-10 seconds and it was hard to hear the quick numbers. The choir was really good. 5. I saw two of my friends from Chicago and that was fun to talk to them. I also saw an organ student from a neighboring college in Missouri. 900 people and that about all that I know. That's kind of a surprise, as I know lots of people in this field....just not in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas. Go figure. 6. I just realized that I need to either pack for Wisconsin now before I go to work, or I have to stop by home after. YIKES. (And thanks to Raen who transcribed Survivor....I was "killing" 90 minutes before the concert by shoe shopping!)

8. I'm out of lurking and finally took the leap to join in conversations that are so interesting and thoughtful. 9. Pamz, my prayers are with you for the loss of your friend and you fathers problems. I admire you for reaching out to others when you need advice or help. You will set a good example for your daughter. 10. Did I do this right...starting with 8 and going to 10? Hey I'm new and look forward to chatting with all those I've been reading posts for the last 2 yrs. I'm just a little slow until I get used to this.

1. I'm sure you see a pattern developing in my posts. 2. We posts our facts 1 through 10. First person posts one fact, the second person posts 2 facts, third posts 3 facts....until we reach 10 and then we go back to 1. 3. Sometime when a person is supposed to post 3 facts but has more to say, we do this........ 3.1 "More to say" LOL 3.2 This is a lot more to say...LOL.

1. Welcome, Pamznic and Oldtex! Skootz, thank you for posting the pictures of your barn. I remember that night well, and am amazed at how quickly you and your family have everything up and running again. You've perservered and made us all proud! 2. Coco posted a helpful and humorous explanation of how this thread sort of works. Just check back to her post in this thread from Saturday at 11:13 a.m. Coco is a great 'splainer. 3. We bought ourselves a laptop for Christmas. I didn't think I would use it much at home, but just wanted it for when we travel. I was wrong. I use it all the time and have only used our old PC maybe five times since getting the laptop. 4. Oops! Spitfire posted before I did, so I'm editing to add two more facts. 5. Here's a secret about me. Every now and then, I mess up the numbering in here on purpose, just to bring in the schticklers......cuz I love them! 6. Double Oops! Oldtex posted before I got my edit done, so here's my sixth fact: This week, I read "It's Not Easy Being Green" by Jim Henson's daughter. It's a short book of quotes by Jim, his friends, family and Muppets, which are also his friends and family. I enjoyed the book and smiled all the way through it.

I need to trim my long fingernails in order to type faster, I'm very slow now and someone may jump in before I can get this posted. 5. It's getting hot around here, temp is almost 85 degrees!

1. tomorrow is the day i leave for the cruise...and i'm still not 100% packed. i'm a little freaked out about that. 2. my sister, niece and BIL are doing much better since their car accident last saturday. i left an update in the need your prayers thread last night, for any who are interested. 3. their improvements make me feel not so bad for leaving for a vacation tomorrow. i just thank God it didn't happen when i was gonna...i'd have had to come home. 4. i'm exhausted and still have a lot to do. i'm tempted to go to bed and just get up at the ass-crack of dawn, but i'm even less of a morning person, so i'd better not do that. 5. our flight leaves out at 10:30 tomorrow morning. i have to also take lola to the vet to be boarded. i'm not looking forward to that at all, and am a little worried about how she will react. too much going on with my family for anyone to watch her. 6. my niece has really been the picture of braveness and resiliance this week. i'm so impressed with how her spirits are back up to 100%, and seeing her so happy. 7. mom let me borrow her digital camera for my trip. i love it, and have been having fun with it all week. 8. i hope all of you have a fantastic upcoming week! see ya next saturday! ETA: 8.3 coco, you did some 'splainin' to us in texas at jose's (i think that's what it was called) i think we may have been the last to be 'splained to in person.
