(Psst, Irishtxgrl, you should have done 7 :P)

1. I'm such a slacker.

2. I've got thing I *should* or *could* be doing, but I'm not.

3. I didn't get one of the 2 research positions I applied for, so now I'm on the hunt for some other kind of full-time job.

4. It's sort of frustrating, because the reason I left my other job, was because I wanted a job in my field of study this summer, but now it seems like I'm retail bound/

5. I hate the feeling in the first month of a new job were you feel like a complete idiot because you don't know ANYTHING. I remember feeling that at my old job, and I'm not looking forward to it again.

6. I SHOULD be going to go pick up my prescriptions today, but that would involve effort. :P

7. I'm going to be such a horrible grown-up when I actually admit I am one..

1. I haven't posted in here for awhile, so I figured it was about time!

2. Vacanick, good luck on your prospective job...hopefully your luck is better than mine!

3. Last night I met up with an old friend from high school. We were in the drum and bugle corps together. I met up with her and her husband dowtown for Art Walk - AKA "wine walk". LOL, you go around to the different art galleries down town, and in hopes of getting you to buy, they serve free wine. They do this the first Friday of every month. It is a good time!

3. I recently (FINALLY) upgraded my OS from Windows 2000 to XP...mostly due to the Media player not letting me download songs from walmart.com because of DRM bs. Aggravating because my MP3 player is not Itunes compatible...it caused me lots of headaches and some nasty emails to walmart, becuase they wouldn't refund my money for the songs I couldn't listen to. GRRRRR. Now I am able to purchase and listen...a very good thing.

4. The backstabbing witch that quit work a couple weeks ago called me this morning. I had some fundrasier stuff she ordered from another guy at work, and still have to get some of it from my niece's fundraiser to get to her. She called right after I woke up, and was "in the neighborhood". Oh joy. They came by and I gave her the candle. She asked me about work and I just said "It's going good". I asked her no questions about her new job or anything else. It helped that I was still half asleep, too!

5. I went and bought Miranda Lambert's new CD, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend today. Wal-Mart no longer sells cds for cheaper for the first couple of days after they are released. They used to be like $9.99 from the Tues-Saturday of the week they are released...not anymore. The cheapest I found it was at Best Buy for $11.99...yes, I'm cheap, what can I say? LOL.

6. Neko, never EVER, admit that you are a grown-up.

7. I went and got pizza from the place where they do the wheat crusts here in town. I LOVE the crust, but they used so dang much cheese that it tastes rubbery! I even requested light cheese. I think they didn't listen.

8. At work yesterday in the break room there were a whole table full of computer monitors with signs saying they were free. It just so happened that I needed a new one, because mine was getting extremely dark...this new monitor makes a big difference - not only is is brighter, but also larger and much easier to see...gotta love free stuff!

Happy Saturday, factoiders!

1. "Declare Independence" off of Bjork's new album Volta is my new favorite song.

2. I cannot wait to see her live on 5/23. I've never seen her live.

3. I didn't do much this weekend.

4. The partner and I just went out to the local izakaya joint. I love that I can be sitting here in loungy clothes at 9PM and by 9:30 we're at the izakaya.

5. My burned face is healing.

6. Hopefully by the time I fly to DC on Friday it'll be 90% healed.

7. I'm not tired but probably because I spent the whole weekend doing little.

8. I saw the Arctic Monkeys on Friday and they were great in concert.

9. I can't wait to get back to the gym tomorrow. I only went twice last week, mostly because of my burned face.

1. I am infatuated with my classmate who found me on facebook.

2. We are trying to figure out when we can get together to meet....hopefully on the 13th.

3. Sigh....., oh, just sigh!

4. It is finals week.

5. I should be grading papers.

6. I can't concentrate because I am thinking about him.

7. I am allergic to something right now and am breaking out in hives.

8. Oh, now, THAT is attractive!

9. I have my last trip to Germany booked, and at $1200 I am REALLY glad that I don't have to pay for it.

10. It is really weird to do the on-line "get to know you thing" and "are we dating" thing with someone you already know. I know why he has weird quirks and he knows why I have the same quirks. We were there when those interests developed.

<Marm needs advice on this....>

1. I'm going up to his house for 2-4 days on the 21st.

2. I'm doing research in his city and he is playing host.

Excitement would abound, but I'm pooped from finals week!

2.1 Hmmmmm . . . playing "researcher" and "host", eh? Sounds suspiciously like the "dirty teacher" and "naughty schoolboy" game to me. Schoolmarm, you go teach him a lesson that he can't forget, girl.

2.2 Marm's got a boyfriend, Marm's got a boyfriend

1. Marm definitely seems to have a boygfriend. You go girl!

2. This week had some kind of crappy events, including what I thought might come to ticketmaster getting a piece of my mind. A-holes! But it turns out, everything worked out, and we also got what turned out to be some awesome tickets for the Kelly Clarkson show in KC! yay! I'm excited. (I'm sure by now everyone realizes my life revolves around these concerts?)

3. Tonight I'm going to see a play called the Taffeta's. It is a tribute to the girl bands from the 50's or 60's (LOL, I'm not sure which it is) like the MacGuire sisters, etc. A girl that we are friends with is the lead. It should be fun!

Happy Saturday!

5. I need to go shopping for my "research" trip.

1. Marm, I got "Stage One" of my family timecapsule today. It consists of two huge boxes and one briefcase of photographs, letters, cards, and war scrapbooks. And a heavy piece of stone marked with a piece of paper by my great-grandmother - it is a piece of the axe-grinder belonging to my 3x great-grandfather, a blacksmith. He bought it in 1860 right after his marriage.

2. I have a copy of a photograph of him. It never occurred to me that I would ever own anything that belonged to him. I left the real timecapsule, Grandmommy's trunk, with my parents since it will take me a great deal of time to go through what I already have.

3. On the drive home, Colossus and I discussed what has to happen for me to properly archive all of this material. He has resigned himself to becoming a genealogy widower.

4. Basically, we're setting up a war-room in my library. I need the following all new: a scanner, a whole new computer with a removable harddrive, new printer, computer desk, bookshelves, archivally-correct albums to help organize, a collapsable table, an invisible force-field to keep helper-kitties off my papers, and about 12' x 8' more feet of space. Good luck to me with those last two. Alot of stuff is going to have to go.

5. We stopped at Office Depot for some office supplies, and wound up finding my new computer desk and bookshelves marked down for clearance. Operation Documentation is underway.

6. Marm, I will email you everything I find pertaining to our mutual side of the family.

6.1 I realized in taking an initial overview of the materials I just got that there was much sorrow she locked in these containers. One is devoted specifically to the year Grandmommy's son (my grandfather) and her father (my great-great grandfather) died. My grandfather died as a result of a motorcycle wreck on his way to his grandfather's funeral. The same year her other son was fighting the in war in the Pacific and her only daughter married. She marked the briefcase "a year I will never forget." It's hard to read of all these troubles that so affected a lady who was greatly beloved and admired by my family.

1. Marm's got a PBF! That's a potential. I understand about not wanting to jinx it, though!

2. I've been a vegetarian for about a month. Today is my first official day as a vegan.

3. Being a vegan is very, very hard, so we'll see how this goes.

4. I have a dinner date tonight with an old friend. We're going to P.F. Chang's. They have good veggie choices.

5. I'm planning to get this tofu dish that sounds good.

6. The Relay for Life I did this weekend raised over $113,000!

7. It's a beautiful day. I love this time of year! :-)

1. I have not been here forever.

2. Being on maternatiy leave you would think I would have a little more computer time...but it just isn't so.

3. I have to return to work on June 4th and my baby turns one on June 29th. Wow!

4. My oldest baby turns three, 15 days after that. Double wow!

5. Hermi why are you choosing to turn vegan? I could never do that. I love me some meat way to much. But then I don't like cooked veggies that much.

6. GAL that sounds really interesting. What a terrific way to share memories.

7. Yesterday we had the kids Baptised so I'm shamlessly letting you know that there are some really cute pics in my folder.

8. Reading through here really quick I noticed that I didn't see Wargod in here lately. She is a staple around here and I'm hoping I didn't miss something around here.

5.1 Hi Spitfire! I don't want to sound like I am on my high horse, but I chose to go vegan because someone opened my eyes to the way the animals are treated. So it is just a personal decision for me. :-)

8.1 Wargod is still here! I don't know why she hasn't been in Facts lately. Sometimes there is a real ebb and flow to this thread.

5.2 Hermi I know many vegans and vegetarians but most of them were basically like that from birth so I was just wondering. The one that I know turned vegetarian at age 45 was by choice for healthy choice reasons. I sometimes wish I could be vegetarian because I do believe it to be a bit healthier, but like I said, it just wouldn't work for me.

1. Wargods been a wee bit busy trying to keep up with her house and help out with her 78 year old aunt and her house while babysitting her not quite one year old nephew and playing single parent at night since Darren switched to swing shift, lol.

2. My nephew is a pure joy to have around during the day. I was never able to stay home with my kidlets when they were that little and like my youngest niece, he gives me the opportunity to experience a little bit of what I missed out on with my own.

3. My days have been pretty much drop the kids off at school, pick the baby up, run by my aunts, come home and get Darren off to work, go back to my aunts, drop the baby off, pick the kids up, go back to aunts, come home and clean, cook, help with homework, etc etc etc.

4. Sis and I are trying to organize a good schedule where both of us aren't spending the day running over there and seperating tasks into things we are good at or can do.

5. Since sis is on light duty with this pregnancy, I will be taking our aunt to and from doctors appts, helping her shower, grocery shopping, vacuuming, taking out trash, doing laundry and mopping and sweeping floors. Sis will go over in the morning and make breakfast and make sure aunt takes her meds, making sure lunch is ready, helping aunt to pay bills and light housekeeping (like washing breakfast dishes.) We will be taking turns cooking dinner since the plan for now is to pick up whatever meat from aunts house (sorry Hermi,) cooking it at home, and dropping it off around her dinnertime. Hopefully this will cut down some on us running back and forth to her house 3-4 times a day.

6. My sister and bil and nieces are leaving in two weeks for vacation. They will be gone around 8-9 days and I'm dreading it, lol! I have never gone that long without seeing my nieces and to tell the truth I don't know what the heck I'm going to do when I can't pick up the phone and call my sister several times a day.

7. I got a new digital camera for mothers day and I love it! I also got the camera dock which is pretty cool. It's 7.1 megapixels, Darren bought a 2 gig chip with it, and it holds either close to 1800 pics or 45 minutes of video. How cool is that???

8. Haven't had much chance to try it out yesterday but I did get a couple pics of the kids to take to my mom and aunt for mothers day.

9.4 Mocha, Kota at least has grown since last week! I told Darren yesterday she looked thinner and both of us took a good long look and then measured her and sure enough she'd gained about an inch. She's been going through the gaining weight part of her growth spurt for about six months, now looks like it's time for the getting taller part.

9.4 I agree with Mocha. Holy crap they have grown up! Thanks for taking the time to let us know how things are. You sure sound calm about all the extra responsibility. I tend to panic when I have a lot of extra's to deal with.

1. I am getting ready to go see my PBF (Thanks Hermione).

2. I need to pack for two weeks...five days there, one week with my parents and three days at a conference!

3. I am going to see my godson and his three siblings on the way.

4. Today will be a great day, no matter what!

5. I just need to finish packing and load the car.

6. I have to take lots of paperwork with me and I'm afraid that I am going to forget something.

7. I got called for jury duty for most of the month of June.

8. This is uncanny, since I will actually be HOME and not working for all but three days of the jury duty.

9. My hair is just a little TOO blond right now. I never thought that I would say that, but my student went a little wild with the highlights.

10. I can't believe how big Wargod's kids are! I remember meeting War in chat when Dakota was 2! Wow, time flies!
