8.a. That is super cool but not surprising that he wants to show off your talent Sage. I have seen some of your rocks, they are very beautiful.

(Ladytex, our high school went to state this past weekend and WON!!! I am so happy for them.)

8. Feel free to call me the Grinch.

9. My biggest concerts are over, and now the next biggie is Christmas Eve. And catching up on my writing and course design.

1. Yay! A Weinermr sighting!

2. Last weekend, at the work Christmas party, not very many people showed, including ANY of my buddies! GRRRR, but the good thing about that, is that since so few people were there, I was able to win a door prize drawing...a $50 Walmart gift card! Sweet! I've been wanting a new comforter set for awhile now...and I found one that I like, and the matching curtains and still have like $5 left of it! Amazing! Here's the comforter I bought: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5978658

3. My favorite number is 3, and one week from today, I am turning 33! It has to be my year, I just know it!

4. Oops! I forgot 4! This will be a busy week for me...donating plasma at a new place Wednesday, haircut and highlight (finally!) on Thursday, Christmas with mom's side on Friday, and Saturday (my b-day!) out to dinner at my favorite place with the girls....woo hoo!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!

1. Hi, Weinermr!

2. Haven't been here in ages! Gulp. Good to see the regulars are still here, too!

3. Nice comforter, Jbean! I love roses. I have roses on my set (not on the comforter, but on a quilt set--which came with a skirt and two large and two small shams), too!

4. Yay for you for donating plasma.

5. Today Hercky and I drove out to my mom's grave and placed a beautiful Christmas mound/spray there. It was made of beautiful greens with the little blue berries and large and small pine cones, a gorgeous velvet red ribbon, and a lovely white feathered dove. I wasn't alone. The graveyard was filled with all kinds of beautiful memorials for their loved ones.

1. Nice to see people posting here again. {{{Weiner}}} Miss seeing you around here.

2. Kids start their three week winter vacation tomorrow.

3. Darren goes back to work tomorrow after being off a week. Between Thanksgiving week and sometimes after New Year's, he'll have worked a whopping 11 and a half days. He's saved most of his vacation time for this six weeks, plus company shut down time for the holidays gave him all this time off.

4. Friday we went over to talk to Caleb's teacher and while we were in the car someone rear ended my minivan. Common decency seems to be lacking these days, not even an "I'm sorry" note.

5. Caleb is having a rough go of things lately. There's the typical (for him) school problems with low grades and excuses, not cuz he can't do it but because he doesn't want to. When we went to talk to his homeroom teacher we caught him in a lie (he told us he discussed a problem he was having with his accelerated reading class and she was unresponsive and uhm, guess what? That was the first she'd heard of the problem!) That's not too bad, though a bit worrisome. The worst is that my boy is in the midst of real, honest to goodness puberty that leaves me wondering at least 3 times a day how the hell my parents allowed me to make it out of that stage without locking me in a closet til I grew out of it, lol. The mood swings, oh my. I'm not sure about him, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to make it out of puberty this go around!

6. Dakota's been doing really well. She's writing stories a lot these days. She's turning into such a little tween though. Last week she introduced me and Darren to her "wall of hotties," Darren actually told me to fix that, lol! She's girl talking (clothes, boys, mean girls, etc) with her little girlfriends and she's constantly on the phone. Her and my oldest niece chat on the phone almost as much as sis and I do, but it's not only niece, her bff calls several times a day, and there are regularly 3-4 other little girls who call to chat.

1. Where'd everyone go? I guess I'll get things started up in here.

2. I had the best birthday ever yesterday. During the day, I slept in, went and bought some new sheets (300 ct dusty pink color) and some clothes with my birthday money from my mom. Then I got to meet my co-worker's new chi puppy - and Lola did too! That puppy is SO cute...they named him Chewy, and he is marked like Paris' Tinkerbell!

3. Then last night, I went out to dinner with my friends to my favorite restaurant - the Japanese steak house...YUM! It was also our Christmas gift exchange...so I felt really spoiled.

4. I got lots of jewelry - 3 different bracelets, 2 necklaces, and a pair of earrings! Also a marshalls gift card, and a new Keith tee with a shirt to wear under it. Then bff also had put together a really cool Keith picture - one that we snagged from someone, lol, but put it over one of the pictures from his calendar this year and framed it, it's really cool, here's a picture of it:

Keith picture

5. Then after that, we went out to the bar for a few drinks. I had 3 long island iced teas (whew!) and didn't pay for a single one...a free one from the bar, a free one from the bartender, then some weird girl at the table over bought me one, and tried to talk me into riding the bull...yeah, it was weird, but a drink is a drink. ROFL!

6. So this morning I might not have felt so good, but it was a lot of fun last night! And today, yeah, I'm a little tired....

7. Tomorrow is Christmas with my dad's side at noon...yes, these are the ones I need a little cup of cheer before-hand to deal with...I'm thinking this time maybe I will try to deal with them without any help. We'll see...then I think we're (me and bff) are going to see PS. I Love You later on (hopefully!)

Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

1. Hi Jbean! I'm glad you had a nice birthday!

2. With Darren off work for most of the past month, my sleep cycle is totally screwed up.

3. My oven is still broken, Darren has no clue what's wrong with it and I haven't been able to get the other guys over to look at it yet. I'm getting kind of not being able to use it, lol.

4. Dakota wrote a letter to Santa the other day. She's so excited she can't stand it. She's already picked out cookies for him and drawn pictures. I just love that she still believes and wish it would last forever.

5. On the other hand, Caleb has taken great delight in being in on the Santa secret. He's been telling the younger kids all kinds of stories. If they weren't already excited they were when he was done.

6. My baby niece is growing like a little weed. She's 3 and a half months old and finds everything funny. She giggles and grins all the time.

7. My littlest nephew is turning into such a big kid. He's learning new words every day (the latest is "dooby doooo!")

8. Guess I should think about going to bed. I'm not really all that tired but I do have to be up in about 4 hours, lol.

8a. Wargod I love it when kids still believe in Santa. My 8 year old nephew had me call Santa about a week ago, because he really, really, really wanted xbox360 and halo3, I called him back and told me that Santa said that halo3 was for teenagers so he could not give it to him and as far as xbox 360 went it was really late to ask for one, so he did not know if he could give it to him. Then I spoke to my brother who said Santa was bringing both of them to him. Now I was in panic mode (Oh no, I could not be a liar, Aunts just do not do that) So I called my nephew back yesterday and told him that that a friend of mine told me that Santa (if he has enough) will give them to boys that are the most deserving and the most responsible and best behave. Well now my nephew is beside himself, thinking there is still hope.

1. I have a sleeping cat at my feet. She now thinks that she is an indoor kitty!

2. I went Christmas Caroling last night. It was awesome that 10 of us sang in 4-part harmony without practicing.

3. I have a ton of music to play tonight, but that will be fun.

4. I'm leaving for my parents on Christmas day and staying for 3-4 days.

5. I bought a DVD Recorder last week and still don't have it hooked up!

6. I'm going to Ottawa, Canada the week after New Years.

7. We have only had 3 days with snow on the ground. And it wasn't that much snow.

8. I am really enjoying my break...but I know that I need to get next semester prepped.

9. Wishing that JBeanie or someone here were closer to St. Louis. One of my former student's has a world-beat band that I playing in St. Louis on Friday and I would like to go, but with some people!

1. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to my TVCH Factoider friends!!

2. I'm glad jbeanie got this party started once again and that she had a super fun birthday!!

3. I love reading facts about ALL of you, it's such a feeling of connection for me being a poster on this board.

4. I truly love this thread the best...and it's not only because I get to talk about ME...hahaha!!

5. I'm pretty much ready for Christmas Day tomorrow. All the gifts are wrapped and under the tree.

6. Friday night, Egbob and I took his folks to see a section of residential homes that decorate to the max...it's like Disneyland at Christmas, so pretty!!

7. Saturday night we went caroling with a large group of talented singers and musicians. Since I can't carry a tune, I just mouthed the words, LOL!! Okay, okay...I did sing softly.

8. Sunday night we had family and two friends over for a prime rib dinner. It all turned out really well.

9. Today I'll be rolling out the sugar cookie dough I made from scratch and using my Christmas Cookie cutters to bake fun shapes. Then we'll all decorate them with colorful icing. This goes for anyone who dares to come into my house, they'll be asked to decorate a few cookies to take home with them...yum!

10. Also today (Dec. 24th), my family plays our annual Christmas Eve football game at the local middle school. We meet up with two other families and select teams. I don't play any longer because of my injured knee, but I'll cheer on BOTH teams and provide the sliced oranges!

1. We have 2 Christmas celebrations behind us and two to go...

2. I screwed up my time and never brought Abby and Ryan to see Santa. I am sad about this, mainly cuz this is our first Christmas with Abby and she totally loves Santa and would for sure jump right on his lap with no tears. I was going to bring them right before we went to mass, but wouldn't ya know that he takes his break from 2-3 and we'd never make church on time... Oh well... (There's always photoshop!!!)

9.3.111

Jbean! They are on at 9 (or 10, depending on which website you look at.) $6 cover.

Here's the venue...a hot Cajun place

http://www.broadwayoysterbar.com/Home_Page.aspx

And the band myspace. They are world-beat, afro, regae, funk (sometimes barnyard is in the description). They actually sound good.

http://www.myspace.com/theeuforquestra

I'd be willing to pop for a hotel room (I live 2 hours away)...and maybe we can go to the Casino?

Let me know if you are game!

1. Dfennessey, I love it too! There's just something so wonderful about their complete belief.

2. We kept the NORAD Santa tracker site up online all day. Not only was Dakota following it all day but my nieces took turns calling to find out where Santa was. They were beyond excited when they found out Santa had just visited South Carolina and their step-grandma and auntie.

3. I still need to fill stockings and set out Santa gifts. After a busy day though, I'm kinda dragging, lol.

1. Hi Eggie! You've got Darren's work week, lol.

2. Last Friday, they'd planned to work only half a day. Then word came from the big boss that because the weekend was between Friday and Christmas Eve, they'd have to work a full 8 hour shift. About half an hour before his shift was over, Darren had a question about a batch he was working on and went to another department and couldn't find anyone to ask. Big boss came around, Darren asked if he'd seen whoever he was looking for and big boss said be right back. He came back mad as could be, seems everyone else had left after half a day except for Darren's department! So, they worked yesterday, then big boss came down and said everyone would be working an 8 hour shift today, except for Darren's dept since they were the only ones to stay last week like they were supposed to. He'll be home in a few minutes.

3. He's only working two days next week too. Then it's back to regular work schedule. It's been kinda nice having him home so much this past year.

4. The Wii is the best video game system ever! Dakota absolutely loves it and has been spending a lot of time playing it. The best part is her favorite game is the sports game (tennis, baseball, boxing, bowling, golf) so she's up on her feet jumping around the whole time she's playing it. After playing it myself, I can say it's quite the workout!

5. My two middle nephews came over yesterday, along with baby nephew, and despite having five kids, it really didn't seem like it! They took turns playing the Wii and playing with the kids Christmas stuff and having a great time.

6. I have to go pay bills and do some grocery shopping today. I'm putting it off til Darren gets home though so I don't have to take the kids with me.

2. My mom arrived today.

3. Dh's son flies home tomorrow at 6AM.

4. My mom is here until Thursday.

5. Today we drove around Malibu and the valley ... and back via Sunset Blvd.

6. My nose is running.

7. I'm drinking an amaretto.

1. Marm, I'm very sorry that yesterday/last night didn't work out. There is just too much going on here today for it to have been feasible. Hope you had fun if you got to go.

2. Today is my cousin's wedding. My niece is the flower girl. My sister bought her dress off of Ebay and chances didn't look good of the dress getting here in time...I sure hope it did!

3. Work really sucked this week, even though I only worked 2 and a half days. It just seems like it is a disaster from the time you walk in, until the time you leave. It sucks.

4. The co-worker who just got a little chihuahua, sent me a picture of him with their pit bull, who seems to think she's his mama. It is so cute! I'm glad the pit bull likes him. I should mention the pit bull is still a puppy - I think like 6 months old.

5. Speaking of puppies, my girl is lying here on my right leg trying to nap...glad she's not spoiled or anything...

6. My friends and I are going out on New Year's Eve to see this woman they jazzercise with sing...she's really good, she played Patsy Cline in our Theater's Forever Patsy back in 2005.

7. I also was able to avoid telling people at work exactly where I was going for New Year's Eve. It's funny how everyone wants to know where you are going...I'm saying if I wanted them out there, I would invite them. LOL. Sometimes you need time away from them! Oh and 3 people asked me.

8. I am so glad it's another long weekend. That's going to suck when I actually have to work a full work week, the week after next!

Hope everyone has a great weekend, and a happy and safe New Year!

2. Also ate at the casino and won $43

3. Oh, yeah, I worked on new clinics and a new class all day at the music store.

4. Today, I go back to a different part of Missouri to see friends.

5. We are going swimming with their 4 kids ages 2-7!

6. I'm going to a New Years Eve dinner...not really a party, but it should be fun.

7. I get to go back to Missouri AGAIN in January to Tan-Tar-A resorts.

8. I'm giving a clinic for the Missouri Music Educators.

9. And that was probably TMI! I'm going to Ottawa, Canada next Sunday for a week! BRR!
