1. I used to be Gradstudent...I am now Frootjuuce. You'd think with an advanced degree I could have come up with an awesome name, but nope - Frootjuuce it is. :o)

1. I love "Frootjuuce." It appeals to my sense of whimsy!

2. My hair has gotten soooo long. It's a little over halfway down my back. Most days I love it long, but right now I am wishing I had a scrunchy so I could pull it back.

2.1 HI JBEAN!

1. I hate my job ... right now.

2. My long, lost co-worker decided to come back to work this week. Yippee!

3. Have I mentioned I'm looking for a new job?

1. Thank you, Hermione69. It seems fun to me, too.

2. I love my job, but can't stand my boss.

3. Sorry to hear that you are hating your job, Vacanick.

4. I am in a real funk today.

1. Got to work yesterday and a firetruck was in front of my office building.

2. Our security guard was trapped in one of the elevators. He tried the emergency phone in the elevator and it didn't work!

3. A partial electrical outage caused the whole mess. Firefighters got him out through the ceiling panel in the elevator.

4. After walking up 5 flights of stairs I got to my office and had no lights, no phone, but did have power and internet for my computer. Power was finally restored about 4 hours later.

5. Here's to a better day today, after all its Friday!

1. I feel a little off-balance today and I'm hoping to spend the night at my sister's house tonight and get some quality time with my niece and nephews.

2. I'm also missing my mom. I wish she lived closer.

3. I feel a little overwhelmed at work. I'm on two committees that are needing a lot of extra work and that is on top of our schedule being extremely busy.

4. Plus, we are having our annual "Read Across America" event for the children in the community and I am in charge of that. It's next week and last year we had over 100 children and adults come. I'm trying to make sure all the details are taken care of from refreshments to activities.

5. It's been really cool hanging out with my new workout buddy. I've never had a girlfriend before with a hearing loss that has impacted her life the way mine has. I've had a boyfriend, but no female buddy. We've clicked really quickly and she stops the library to chat almost daily now. :-)

6. I *just* got an email from my sister and I'm going to spend the night there tonight. YAY!

I hope everyone has a great Friday and an even better weekend!

1. TGIF!!!! WHoo Hoooo....and I only "work" for 2.5 hours today.

2. I have had 14 12-hour days in a row including several Sundays and Saturdays (ok, I took my birthday off).

3. I'm pooped!

4. Mom is coming today to help me out.

5. She should have come last week when things were crazy.

6. Now she will think that I'm a whiner because I don't have ANYTHING booked at all for Saturday. (I have to write a report and two papers, but no appointments/ conference/ workshops/ competitions/ seminars)

7. I keep forgetting that I am going to Germany next week!

Auf Wiedersehen!

1. I'm a thief. I'm here at my sister's, pirating a wireless signal. Call the authorities!

2. It's been a good time and I think I will stay until late this evening and watch the lunar eclipse tonight with my oldest nephew. I think he would like that.

3. My niece wouldn't let her mom brush her hair this morning. She insisted that I do it.

4. And my oldest nephew told me he understood I loved to be with them because I don't have children and that he thought I should move in with them and then he could be my son, too. He said, "I could have two moms." Gotta love him!

5. I'm doing really well with working out. I still want to run a half-marathon before the year is over.

6. My tooth has started to hurt again, mildly, but it shouldn't be hurting at all at this point. I am worried that I have an infection in the adjoining tooth as well and that the antibiotics temporarily knocked it out and now it is starting to come back.

7. It is GORGEOUS today. Sunny and in the 60s. I love this time of year when spring is teasing us.

8. I gave up sweets for Lent and I just realized that means I won't be able to have cake at my youngest nephew's birthday party this month! ACK! I'll have to take a piece and freeze it!

HAPPY WEEKEND!

1. I entered lola in our local newspaper's "pet idol" contest. LOL! anyone who wants to see her entry, go to: http://php.news-leader.com/PetIdol/Gallery.php?ImageID=1

she is number 558...you have to type that number in the "search for pet" box at the top left of the page and then press go. she probably won't win, but the entry fee is a donation to their education fund, so it's for a good cause anyway.

2. I am wondering if I made a mistake starting my own relay for life team. i'm not getting many people who are willing to be on the team. What a bummer! oh well, it's still early. Our's isn't until May 18.

3. My co-worker that I have been having issues with, is back to being my "friend". I went over to her house today, because her husband was supposed to fix my car's power window (however, it's too cold and windy for it today). Anyway, she got a new Yorkie puppy 2 days ago...what a cute little shit...her name is Ruby. :-)

4. I bought a tanning package today....I only tanned for 10 minutes, as I didn't want to fry. I feel better about myself when I have a little color.

5. My hair has gotten pretty long, too, Hermi. i like it long, but it doesn't want to do anything, ever. I'm thinking of getting a few inches trimmed off.

6. I am supposed to be going out tonight to the piano bar with my old college roomie and some other people. She is very bad about canceling everything, though, and I have my doubts. I hope we go, because it's very fun. I've only been there once.

7. Going to see the movie Wild Hogs today too. It looks so good.

8. I just got done eating Chinese - it was so good...I gave the left over couple of pieces of cashew chicken to my birhtday kitty, Macy - she is 7 years old today!

9. My co-workers husband did get my new passenger side mirror attached, though. We are going to try for tomorrow on the window again. Wish me luck!

Happy Saturday, factoiders!

1. YAY JBEAN! Love Jbean! Always smile to see her post!

2. My hair is thicker than it used to be. Not a lot, but a smidge. I'm wondering if dying it stripped it of body since I don't do that anymore?

3. Wargod, I did actually say something like that.

4. I said, "But then I couldn't be "Cool Aunt Carolyn!""

5. And he raised his eyebrow and said, "Cool??" with an "As if!" look on his face.

6. I said, "OOOOOH! I'm going to get you!" and I gave him a noogie.

7. He got me good! I was so proud! We love to zing each other in my family!

8. My BIL usually gets off the best ones. My nephew must be taking lessons from his dad!

9. I need to get moving if I want to go for a walk before the lunar eclipse.

10. I hope everyone is having a relaxing Saturday!

1. My Mom is visiting to help me out. Yeah right...THIS is stress relief. She has carping down to a fine art. Yeah, I just want to be reminded that I am a complete failure in life... finances... organization... unpacking... etc. etc. And WHERE is my non-existant husband and our fabulous imaginary kids?

Kill me now! The chest pains continue to roll in.

At least I am a good cook.

1. First and foremost, you are a good woman, Schoolmarm. I'm sure you're a good cook too, but I know for a fact that you are a good woman;

2. Have you considered that you've been freed of the responsibilities of marriage and children so that you can a) travel the world to hone your talents and musical research; b) enrich the lives of your students who thrive on the results of your talent and research and; c) make all of our lives more beautiful with the music you create?

2.1 Tell Mom to cram it (in the most loving way, por supuesto). We have plenty of organized, unpacked, married-with-children financial wizards in the world. We have way too few people dedicated to enriching our lives through music. You just keep doing what you do, Marm, and we'll keep loving you for it.

1. Here I am in this thread for the first time in a year. I had to because Marm doesn't have a folder.
2. Marm I can't tell you how it distresses me to hear you say that. You are one of the MOST accomplished, together people I have ever known. You have spent years getting to where you are and you deserve the wonderful places and things you get to experience.
3. I think if you want Mom off your back you should politely say "Mom, maybe I don't want to be tied down to a husband and kids. That's your dream for me; not my own." And leave it at that.
Girl, don't ever get down on yourself because you are AWESOME! Seriously!

1.a. Marm, heed what GAL and Twinkie have said, they couldn't be more correct. One of my favorite memories at RG's was the time spent with you. Remember that great big card we made for you? I just now did. Anyway, I wish you were closer so we could have been friends and not just acquaintances.

1. I still have that card, Sage!

2. WHAT? I don't have a folder anymore? Guess that happens when you don't post in it for a while.

3. Mom just sat with me sorting stuff as I spent (HONESTLY) five hours on the computer trying to book my flight to England. Mom: "Does it really take this long?" Me: "Yes, I have to check four regional airports and three national airports plus Chicago on two different dates for the best flights that will work with my schedule." Mom: "Oh, don't you have a travel agent." Me: "No one uses a travel agent for flights anymore, the university wants you to use Orbitz." Mom: "Oh, this is taking a lot of time." Me: "Welcome to my life."

4. It's better today! I have to realize that I am in financial distress temporarily because I haven't been reimbursed for my last two European trips and I had to pre-pay another one. Contrary to popular belief, professors usually are not rolling in the dough!

5. I am SO happy that Spy and Fly had a beautiful healthy baby! And Bookie is having another one. And Nick and wife had a little guy! Treasure your time with your little ones!

1. Marm, You STILL have that card??? That is so cool! We spent hours working on that to cheer you up!
2. I'm feeling better every day, which is a huge relief. I'm not going to make a good nursing home patient. I hate relying on other people to take care of me.
3. We've had about 2 feet of snow in the last week. Not even 2 inches prior to that. We had a brown Christmas.
4. I'm really happy for Spy and Fly too. They are going to have the best time being parents! But Spy may have to give up those naps...LOL!
5. I've recently had a little "work" done on some areas that I wasn't happy with... I think it turned out pretty good... but I'm not telling where! LOL!
6. I have to work today, tearing down the Mardi Gras Event of last evening... then I'm going to nap the rest of the day away!

1. Marm, I'm in agreement with everyone...you are awesome! I know the expectations of parents (well, I guess Grandparents, moreso in my case) when you are single. I say to hell with it. I'm happy on my own and I more or less told them that I'm not gonna settle for the first jerk who comes around. Guess what? They haven't mentioned it ever again!

2. We did end up going out last night. It was so much fun...although we spent very little time at the piano bar because some of them wanted to dance...so we went to another club downtown by there and danced. I don't necessarily like to dance, but we just had so much fun. :-)

3. Former roommate rarely drinks anymore, and got wasted from (what *I* would call) not a lot of liquor. She was quite entertaining!

4. My other buddy that I hang out with all the time went to. We are sometimes fuddy-duddies and usually leave pretty early because someone always has to get up the next day. We had so much fun, though, that we didn't leave until 12:30 - half an hour from closing time! And our clothes didn't even turn to rags. LOL!

5. Although I didn't drink a whole lot last night, I still feel pretty shitty today...I didn't have time to eat before we went, that's probably why.

6. I'm happy to see the facts thread thriving again, and KnightPatti, I've been thinking the same about Wargod...please post, War, we like your stories.

7. I need to take a shower..I stink from last night's events!

7.1 Thanks Eggie, for posting Lola's picture...I'm kinda partial to her!

1. Jbean, I checked out Lola and saw that voting doesn't start until March 11. Remind us when it is time to vote and we will. Never underestimate the power of TVCH!

2. Marm, I'm sorry about the message you get from your mom that you need a husband and children to be complete.

3. I don't know you very well, but you have always seemed so accomplished to me and I have always been a little envious of your trips abroad. You are amazing!

4. I am going back over to my sister's in a little bit. My nephew wants me back to hang out with him and play video games.

5. He's nine now. He's my sobriety charm. When I drank, I was so out of control. I am so happy he has never seen me that way.

6. I need to remember to watch TAR tonight. Go Romber!

7. Tomorrow I get the permanent filling out in my tooth that had the root canal. I'm still suspicious that the adjoining tooth may need to be done, too.

8. I can't believe I will be 40 in 3 years, 1 month and 14 days.

1. Marm, I was single for a long time. I had always wanted to be married with children, but I was not going to just find a guy so that could happen. My sister had just given birth to my niece and I was godmother. I was very happy and content with that. She let me "have" the baby whenever I wanted. Just when I was so totally content is when I started dating my future husband. But even if I had not met him, I was happy.

2. I really respect a woman who does not "need" a man in her life to feel complete.I always hated that line from Jerry McGuire when he said "You complete me." I think that is a bunch of bull. You need to complete your own self first. You can complement a partner and vice versa, but you are in deep trouble if you need someone else to complete you.

3. I have started the almost overwhelming task of painting my kitchen.

4. I had no choice, I had to paint over the wallpaper. (I tried everything to peel the paper off first, but it was taking the wall down with it.

5. I am priming it first. For whatever reason, the painting guy made the primer a deep hot (and I mean hot!) pink!!! I will post pictures later in the renovation thread). The final color is AMALFI RED by Ralph Lauren.

6. The primer is oil based. The kitchen is a mess as am I. Thank goodness dh took ds to Chuckie Cheeses today. I hope they are gone a long time. (Why am I here typing instead of painting???? I just do need a short break!!!)

7. I really do not want to put beadboar/wainscoting up as I think the full walls will look really good once they are a deep red. But because the previous owners put a border halfway up, and I am painting over the wallpaper, I don't think that would look good. I can't really see the vertical lines from the wallpaper, but I sure do see the horizontal line from the border.

8. I wish we had more $$$ and I would have had a professional do this.

9. I cannot think of a 9. Thanks a lot Hermie!!!

8.1 40 isn't bad, Hermione, it's almost a relief when you get it behind you. But 39 is a nasty year - you spend it dreading turning 40. So basically you only have 2 years, 1 month and 14 days of peace left. You're welcome LOL. I feel like a coachman for the Prozac Welcome Wagon.
