1. Denecee, nobody can kill the facts thread without checking with the schtickler first.

2. Sage...Congratulations!!!

3. Speaking of neonates, I'll be attending my niece's baby shower on Saturday. She's due on Valentine's Day.

5. Today our weather got drastically cold. We had a high of 86 last Sunday and today was a high of 56...(don't laugh eastcoasters!!)

6. Tomorrow, Egbob and I will be attending the funeral service of the USC placekicker who died last Saturday after falling over the Palos Verdes Peninsula cliffs. So sad.

1. It is 24 degrees at my house and I am freezing! I think Jenna and I are going to snuggle up in a nice warm blankie and watch a movie. I would take 56 anyday!!

2. Congrats, Sage! I saw the pictures and he is just precious, as is your granddaughter!

3. I heard about the USC football player, Eggie, so sad. Did you know him?

4. HI JBEANIE!!!!! Sorry about the fender bender!! I was wondering about Froggie too...wonder where she is???

5. We had snow yesterday, only about an inch, but it sure was pretty.

6. I just finished knitting my first hat last night and I think it turned out great. Jake wore it to school today even. Until now, I have stuck with scarfs and dishcloths because guage doesn't really matter. I'm excited to start another, I bought some really cute pink frilly yarn to make a hat for Jenna.

7. TGIF Factoiders!!

1. My day started out on a sad note and it's now ending on a happy note.

2. Yes Jewels, Egbob and I knew the USC placekicker and his family. Egbob taught Mario when he attended Egbob's high school site.

3. We attended the funeral service this morning which had the church overflowing with mourners. It broke my heart to see his mother and father so distraught.

4. I miss Froggiegirl too. Come home little Froggie!!

5. Jewels, when you finish Jenna's hat, please share a picture of both hats....I'd love to see your handiwork!

6. I'm telling you, it's freezing here tonight!! Brrrrr.....

7. Tonight I discovered I know one of the cast members for Survivor: Fiji Islands. I'm not saying who it is at this point, but just know that I'm smiling from ear to ear just knowing that I actually know one of the cast members!!

8. Have a great weekend ahead Factoiders!!

1. How exciting, Eggie! I can't wait till you decide to tell us who it is.

2. I love being able to call you Eggie again!! Yay!!

3. I will try to post pictures of the hats when I get Jenna's done. It will probably take me a while though since I am going to attempt to use double pointed needles and I have never done that before.

4. The kids started swimming lessons this morning. Thank god it is an inside pool. It was like 20 degrees outside. We were all bundled up, walked into the pool and it was 100 degrees in there, I swear. We were ripping off hats and scarfs as fast as we could!

5. The kids and I were just trying to build a robot with their tinkertoys, but it won't work right, there aren't any instructions, just a picture, and it is hard to tell what goes where. Frustrating.

6. My husband is outside working on the house....again. We replaced our foundation last year and this year we are replacing windows and siding. It is a lot of work since we are doing it all ourselves.

7. But I love my new windows!!! I can't wait until they are all done. Our house was built in 1915 and it was so hard to see out the old windows and they didn't clean very well. But these new ones are awesome. I'll try to get some pictures posted sometime, it looks great.

8. Jenna is taking a ballet class and she thinks she is a prima donna. When she has her ballet outfits on she says it we have to call her "Princess". She got a couple ballet learning videos for her birthday and she loves practicing. It is too cute!!

1. this being the reality tv board and everything, i must share that survivor had a casting call here yesterday...NO, i didn't go, but the news said over 200 people did.

2. eggie's post above about knowing one of the survivor's helped me remember to post that.

3. my town has been hit with an ice storm. most of the city is without power, and somehow, i'm one of the lucky one's that still has it (SO FAR, knock on wood).

4. it is supposed to continue spitting the shit off and on until after midnight on sunday. oh boy! there's still plenty of time to lose electricity!

5. my family lives on the other side of town and they are all without power - now for about 25 hours. i told them they were welcome to come here, although it's small. my sister and BIL and kids went to someone's house with a fireplace (that's good, we don't want those kids freezing) and my youngest sister is saying that it isn't that bad cold...whatever. i hate being cold!

6. i am going a bit stir crazy here. while the roads oddly enough, aren't icy and slick, i haven't gotten out due to the down trees and power lines. it's just me and the furkids, and i must admit too much time with them drives me a little nutty!

7. have i ever mentioned how much chihuahuas bark? well, they do!

8. i have had a sinus thing or cold since last saturday, and i've had just about enough...the morning is the worst when my throat hurts from drainage...ugh!

9. another day of hanging out here tomorrow...the ice is supposed to end just in time for work on monday...isn't that lovely? i hate winter!

1. I am coming back to the US tomorrow, and home on Tuesday! WHOO HOO

2. It was a great trip and I was very productive.

3. I missed the curb and fell hard into the street at the town center Friday night. I was hurtin' bad on Saturday, but no blood, no bruises.

4. I have had a very happy year so far.

5. Let's see if the cats will be happy to see me or if they will be standoffish!

6. The semester starts Tuesday!

7. I get home Tuesday morning....LOL!

8. Enjoying the Spybaby reports.

9. I blinked and totally forgot to have kids.

10. Oh, yeah, a new husband wouldn't be bad, either!

1. I wish I had a starbucks just not from starbucks(yuk)(sorry Hermione) We have lots of drive thru espresso's and they will make whatever you want.
2. Schools are closed here today.
3. I am so happy that my sister survived with only a bad case of whiplash, when she was involved in a hit & run the other night. She was going 45 mph and the person that hit her must have been going almost twice as fast.

1. Anxiously awaiting a letter from sis from Boot Camp. Any day now we should be hearing from her.
2. While she is gone we get to plan her wedding reception. We have carte blanche. Something I didn't even have at my own wedding.
2.1 This is the dress she is getting:
Jessica McClintock
3. I worked out last night for an hour. I am hoping to drop 15 pounds by April.
4. DD2 will be 1 next month! Where does the time go. Ok, time to plan a party.

1. I got a letter for jury duty today.

2. I always wanted jury duty.

3. This isn't a good time though- it's the whole month of Febuary. Hello? How can I substitute teach when I have to sit at the courthouse every day??? And then maybe not even get picked but meanwhile lose my chance to work a job that I actually get paid to do? And I have a dentist appointment one of the days.

4. I wish it was June or July instead.

5. Not happy about it now.

1. I'm wearing an empire waist blouse today that makes me look pregnant.

2. I'm not.

3. Luther Vandross' song "Dance With My Father" slays me every time.

4. I had a dream last night that I was hanging out with the Indigo Girls and their band (shrugs).

5. I grew up with basset hounds. I now have a Jack Russell. Explain that one.

6. One of my father's influences is Fred Sanford from Sanford & Son. I don't know what else to say about that. You big dummy!

1. Hello everyone! Sorry that I haven't been around much, but it's certainly nice to see that I've been missed by a few of you.

2. Hi Beanie...I did get your email and I WILL reply one of these days, I swear. Watch for it!

3. Glad to see "Eggie" back!!!

4. My niece celebrated her 1st Birthday last week. We had a princess themed party for her and she loved it - such a little girly girl!

5. I recently joined a Stamp Club and have been going to club meetings and attending stamping/scrapbooking classes and workshops at least once a week. I'm loving my new hobby and getting my creative juices flowing.

6. I was sick most of last week and because of that I just took all my Christmas decor down last weekend...my house feels naked now.

7. I'm watching What Not TO Wear right now and I wish someone would nominate me for that show. Not that I think I dress bad, but I would love to go shopping in NYC for a week with $5k.

1. FROGGIE! i'm so happy to see you here! i was worried you were gone forever. so glad you're not!

2. many people here are still without electricity after the nightmare ice storm last week. i posted a link to some pictures in the weather thread, but i'm pretty sure that's been long-since buried. i'll post it in my folder after this post...there will probably be little chance of being buried in there, lol!

3. work has also been a nightmare. power went off AGAIN today. so hard when you are working your ass off to try to make a bonus, and then your resources are taken away.

4. i would just about sell my soul to be back in the bahamas right about now.

5. we are now expecting snow in this area tomorrow...that is great news for everyone who is still without electric...frozen pipes. woo hoo!

6. as of this morning my family was still without and some of my friends too. i may have a friend staying here tonight as a matter of fact.

7. they are doing "mandatory" work tomorrow...but we are allowed to take off with no time loss and no pay..that's what i'm doing, since i have had plans to get my hair cut and highlighted and it's too hard to get in for that - it takes 2.5+ hours!

8. that being said, we are doing mandatory 10 hour days next week and probably another mandatory saturday...at least it will be a good check!

happy friday, everyone!

2. Been having "stress attack" chest pains again. DANG.

3. I have big stuff next week and need to get all my ducks in a row.

4. My piano room is all clean and unpacked. YIPPEE!

5. There are even more cat hanging around my house. Now it's my 2, an orange one, a coon tail one, a big fluffy white one, a tabby, etc. Just call me Hemmingway!

6. I'm glad to be back, but not back to work.

7. The students are ok, it's just all the extra meetings and paperwork. BLECH!

8. Oh, and the budget situation at state universities is always SO stunning!

9. Next week PEORIA. LOL!

1. It's great to see Froggie posting here again...yay Froggie!!

2. Today I clipped Oscar's and Dixie's long black, clicky toenails.

3. They were good sports about it and I praised them endlessly and gave them a treat.

4. I've been picking up around the house and doing some laundry.

5. DS#1 flys back to Ithaca NY tonight.

6. His college roommate has been in town going to interviews. He's from Long Island and is strongly thinking of accepting a job in Baltimore.

7. DS#1 accepted a job in SoCal and he starts said job in August 2007.

8. Tonight a large group of us are going out to dinner before taking DS#1 and his college roommate to LAX to catch their flight back to Ithaca NY.

9. I really need to get back into an exercise program.

10. In 6 months I'll be taking my first cruise and I've been doing a lot of reading to prepare for the ports we visit. I still can't believe I'm going....can someone pinch me??

1. I have the most wonderfully patient and understanding spouse.

I am currently reading a book that takes place in medieval times. The other night, poor hubby was wakened from a sound sleep by my thrashing around in bed.

"Mary...wake up. You're breathing funny and you're moving all over the place. What's the matter?"

"They're attacking the village!! Stuff is flying everywhere!"

"Who is attacking the village???" (Thinking it might be the village we live near.)

That sunuvab**** William Hamleigh.

"Mary...WAKE UP! It's okay. You're not there. You're here in bed and everything's all right."

Sometimes my mind doesn't disengage. So now I stop reading at least an hour before bedtime, and if I forget...he reminds me.

So last night, I stopped reading at the appropriate time, and tuned in to watch the ceremony in LA where they were retiring Luc Robitaille's jersey.

And wouldn't you know...

Mary....wake up.

What????

You are chanting "Luuuuuuuuuuuc".

Good gracious! How does that man ever put up with me!

1. Went curling tonight for the second time in my life. It really is a fun sport, but there is so much to think about each time you release that darn 'ol rock. I particularily got the hang to push and slide to zip up and down the rink...that was fun. Anyway my team won, but certainly no thanks to me.

2. My oldest and I spent the afternoon cooking meals for the week. My job hours have extended which means more time away from home and less time to be organized for meals. With everyone going in different directions at night, I needed to be better organized. Charles has wanted to learn how to cook different things as he prepares for life on his own, so cook we did. We premade 4 meals and he is quite proud of himself. This is week two of our plan and it seems to be making life a little smoother.

3. This week is the start of exams for the highschool. My middle son is way stressed. He has both math and science on the same day. He keeps saying he'll never be able to do it. I hope I survive it. Tonight it looks like he is getting a head cold.


Fondly,
Wappy

1. My boss gave notice today. His last day with our company will be in 2 weeks. This makes the third boss I've been through in almost 4 years.

2. Our department was already falling apart so this is not a good thing. lol! But on the other hand, I'm not sad to see him go.

3. I applied for a new job last week. Cross your fingers that I'll be the next to go. Far, far away!

4. Happy Monday TVCH!!!

1. Poor Nick. Hang in there! Think of the healthy air you are providing to your children by not smoking! You are doing great!

2. I was online yesterday evening just long enough to download my email, when my DSL cut off. As of this morning, I'm still unable to get online at home.

3. It's frustrating for me because I can't just pick up the phone and call the company for help because of my hearing loss.

4. I have My Space messages that I can't access because it is blocked at work. <grumble>

5. Speaking of messages, HMT and I have been emailing each other the last couple days. And no, landi, I still haven't asked him out!

6. I got that sexy thong in the mail yesterday, as well a pierced tongue stud with a 4-leaf clover on it. Life is good!
