1. I am still on vacation time. I'm not at all tired, and the thought that I need to get up around 6 a.m. suffuses me with mortal dread. Dread, I say! 2. I wrote my first check tonight and I remembered to put the correct year on it. That's one for the record books! 3. I am chockful of New Year's Resolutions. I love making them. I love fresh starts and clean slates. 4. One that I am really excited about is taking an art class. There is a figure drawing class from March - May that I am going to enroll in. 5. And I really want to run a half-marathon. 6. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year. May the best of your past be the worst of your future!

1. I am not happy about being back at work today. 2. My dog and I discussed it this morning and we needed just a few more days off together. 3. I walked yesterday. 2 miles. It felt great. The dog enjoyed it as well. 4. I know Hermi can do the half-marathon. I have complete faith in her. 5. I never make New Years resolutions .. too much pressure! 6. I'm turning 41 very soon and so far am doing pretty well with it. My bf says it's over the hill. What does he know, he's 51. LOL!! 7. Happy New Years everyone!! :o)

1. Pulled an all-nighter last night to finish an academic paper for a conference. Don't even want to look at the load of crap I sent it. We'll see if it gets accepted or not. 2. I am FINISHED doing work in Cologne! 3. I am going to go to Bonn on the regional train and see an organ concert tomorrow, and maybe the Beethoven house, and just be a danged tourist! 4. I am rarely a tourist! 5. I went to "Queen: We will Rock you" last night and it was AWESOME! Bohemian Rhapsody was the encore number. It was futuristic in a "Rocky Horror Show" way, but it worked. 6. Reiki will be surprised to hear that I went to a jukebox musical! 7. My students will be surprised to hear that I went to a ROCK musical! 8. It will be nice to relax for a few days before I go back to Munich. I would leave earlier, but the hotel is pre-paid with no changes and so is the flight! YIPPEE YIPPEE! Marm is a TOURIST!!!!

1. Yay! It's like a family reunion in the facts thread! Jewels and Eggie in the same day...wow! I'm excited! 2. I haven't posted here in forever either. Just not a whole lot of excitement lately. 3. New Year's Eve was fun, though. I went out with a couple of friends to see a band we like. a big plus to this was that the bar is 3 minutes from my apartment! 4. Some of you may be suprised to find out that I was actually on pretty good behavior! (no pantyhose in the trash, even, jewelsie! ) 5. I took a bottle of champagne to my friend's house, so we could drink it first and save a little money at the bar. then i only drank beer at the bar. And no hangover for me on new year's day! woo hoo! 6. we found out we are getting a bigger pay raise at work this year than usual. that's a nice suprise. however, health care costs are more than likely going to go up. at least the raise will offset it a little. 7. i got an mp3 player for christmas, and i'm loving it! my cd player on my stereo hasn't worked now for years, and i found a cord at walmart to hook up from the player to the speaker so it can play...it was marked $19.98. but it rang up at $5.18!!! i about fainted. i took it and ran! 8. i discovered cherry hershey kisses, and they are so damn good! i hate cherry cordials, but these rock...it's like cherry cadbury egg filling...yum! 9. to make this a true family reunion, we really need froggiegirl back here. has anyone seen her lately? miss her, too! 9.1 Happy New Year to all my friends here at the Clubhouse!

1. What the hay!???....Mak and Juju, you both are taking chances here. I'm just sayin'... 2. I took a huge bag of those Cherry Cordial Hershey Kisses into the office and everyone is going wild over them! 3. Awww geesh, I suddenly realized that I need to do 10 facts and I'm not sure I can produce, but I'll give it a Factoider try. 4. Hmmmm.....ummmmm.....oh yeah, I know. Read number 5. 5. My hair is suddenly long and I didn't add hair extension. 6. I've decided to try to keep it growing for one whole year. 7. Of course I'll need to go in about every 2-3 months for just a wee bit of a trim to get rid of those uneven lengths that seem to sprout out and about. 8. I'm taking a road trip up to the Delta area this weekend. 9. It'll be a fast trip and quick turnaround but I must attend a very special event up that way. 10. It's nice to have the board back up and running normally. I did try to check in and never seemed to get past the Gateway timeout error or whatever that message was all about. Okay, I did 10!

1. I got rear-ended on my way home from work on Thursday night. No one was hurt, and now I get to get my bumper fixed. On top of it a police officer witnessed it. So I guess if you're going to have an accident that's the way to go! 2. Today is Eggie's birthday, I'm pretty sure it's not on the birthday list, so I'm telling everyone here, instead. Love ya, Eggie!

Yes, Factoiders, today was my birthday and I'm glad jbean mentioned it here. 3. (I'm 53 years young) 4. Egbob and I were up in the SF Bay area this weekend to attend my aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary. Can you say FUN?!! That's all I've had in my life the past 3 days...lol! 5. It's good to be home now. Everyone have a good week ahead!!

1. I'm on day 7 since I've had any tobacco of any kind. 2. Happy Bday Eggie! btw...I posted some pics in my folder for ya. 3. I don't want to go back to work tomorrow. 4. Zoe's genetics testing results came back and so far she is negative for Stickler Syndrome....which means that she will more than likely not develop it in the future, but it's not 100% certain. (Stickler Syndrome has been associated with the condtion she was born with...PRS - Pierre-Robin Sequence) 5. We did get the bill for this in depth genetic test. The insurance was billed nearly $7,000. 6. I nearly passed out.

1. Hi everyone.... 2. Yep, I'm around still but I don't know why it feels like i've dropped out of this place. 3. I bought my ticket to visit my dad in AZ a few days ago. Yay. Jan 27-Feb 3. Seemed like a good time- we've had such an unbelievable warm winter so far, and now it's snapped into normal and is cold out- I figure I'll endure a few weeks of colder weather, head out there, then by the time I'm back it's a few weeks til March (which is still winter, but at least at that point you know the end is coming!). He always "warns" me that the weather might not be that nice when I come- I keep reminding him that it will be nicer than it is here and it's different scenery and everything so it's just nice to be away. And really, I don't revolve my life around weather. Really. Just my vacations 4. My mom and aunt (the twins) are visiting my other aunt (the younger sister) in Hawaii right now. Almost a two week trip. Nice. Maybe they've run into Skootz! 5. I got a new cell phone to replace my old one. I love it. It has all kinds of features I will never use or probably even figure out how to use. It has bluetoth. I won't use that I'm pretty sure. It has an MP3 player in it. I won't be using that either. It takes pictures and videos and has a mini sD card slot. I've taken a few pictures and they atre pretty nice for a cell phone but I don't think I've used the video yet. By the way, I've had it about a month. 6. We've been watching a lot of movies lately- most recent ones were Talladega Nights, Little Miss Sunshine, An Inconvienient Truth, Mission Impossible 3, and Loose Change. I've enjoyed them all. 7. My cousin and the dogs fell into a river the other day- I'm not sure how, but it's this river that flows into Lake Superior and the banks are sandy and it's a steep drop off. I haven't talked to her (my mom told me) so I don't know if the dogs went onto the ice and broke through and she went to save them, or if she was too close to the edge and the sand caved in or what- either way, she was up to her shoulders and her boyfriend had to pull her out, She probably would have died if she had been alone. Scary. 8. Does anyone here listen/like Stephen Lynch? He's a singing comedian... 9. Happy Tuesday TVCH!

1. Hi Kaili! I remember you!! 2. It's me...your TVCH mummy. 3. In reading your #2 fact, I felt a connection in what you were saying. 4. For me, I had little time over the past 2 years to do much reading, much less posting....and I certainly felt out of the loop with my TVCHer friend's activities and what currently has been going on in their lives. 5. In fact, I'm still trying to catch up. However, the one thing I do know is this.....I've missed coming here and it feels so good to be back to posting at least twice a week if I can. 6. That's why I like this thread in particular. I can talk about myself and allow anyone who is interested in me, read about it. 7. I've never heard of Stephen Lynch and now I'll have to look into him. That's one of the beauties of being a part of TVCH....I learn tidbits such as your #8. 8. I've been buying more quilting fabric to stash away because a lot of these online quilt shops are trying to move inventory for their new stuff and this makes prices come down. I love it!! 9. The other day, I got to watch a football game in HD. Now I'm sucked into the whole HD experience. I can never look at my regular TV the same again....lol! 10. Hi Ho, Hi Ho...it's back to work I go!! Have a great Tuesday Factoider's!!

1. Back in Munich and staying at the International House. The knob in the shower is broken. Yesterday it was like ice water, today scalding. You have to push the knob in and hold it to get water out..a way to save money, I guess. I've been a frozen/scalded contortionist. SHHEEEEESH!

1. I love Steven Lynch. Funny and cute to boot. 2. I laughed all the way through Talladega Nights. I was crying in parts. My favorite was: If you don't chew big red, then f*** you.

1. My daughter, pregnant at 40 weeks, baby due tomorrow, was admitted to the hospital today for about 4 hours because at her Dr. Appt. her blood pressure was too high. They were going to induce labor, but her BP went back to normal once she was admitted and lying down. They decided to let nature run its natural course and sent her home. She is having regular contractions but not to the point of immediate delivery. 2. When my grandson comes into the world is anybodies guess. His name is Matthias Jacob, and I am so excited about seeing his precious little self, and showering him with special grandma kisses. 3. I already have a grandaughter, Riley Nicole, and she is 4 now. She's so adorable, and I feel very blessed to see my family grow. All the riches in the world can't replace the feeling of family and loved ones.
