1. Hmmmm....my ears are burning...was someone talking about me?

2. Marm and beanie, glad to her you two had a great reunion...yay!

3. Last night I watched "The Rock" and enjoyed it as if I had never seen it before...good movie!

4. I'm not sure what my day holds but I do know that the cupboards are bare and it's looking like a huge grocery shopping event will be happening for me today.

5. I don't mind the shopping part...it's lugging in all those groceries and then putting them away.

1) temp. is in the 60s - what a change from the 20s/30s of the last 6 days.

2) I had my oj & coffee already & now I'm sipping on a tall glass of ice cold sugar free grape kool aid. I love kool aid & the sugar free kind is great - just wish they made it in more flavors than just cherry, grape, & fruit punch.

3) I'm thawing some salmon out for dinner. Don't know yet how I'm going to prepare it or what I'm going to have with it.

4) So happy to have a weekend. I'm still in my jammies but will dress afterwhile because I have to go to the Wal-Mart.

5) I only go to Wal-Mart every other wk. I get all of my critter food, soaps, tp/paper towels, & buy what groc. I need all in one stop. The next wk-end, I'll groc. shop @ United & I'll stock my freezer with any meats they have on sale & buy whatever gro. I need for the wk.

6) Frank got home from his wk long bus. trip around 6:30 last night. We were both so exhausted from our he!! wks that we called in pizza del. & I actually went to bed & crashed around 9. Frank didn't come to bed until he says around 10. I got up 1st about 9 this morning. I never sleep that long - I'll be up until the wee hrs tonight.

7) Frank went to get my car detailed, get his hair cut & he's picking up fav. seafood rest. take out for lunch.

8) We're not big on fast food but we rarely go out to eat either. As expensive as fast food has gotten unless you order off the $1 menu, you might as well p/u something you really want.

9) the dogs are enjoying the warmer day. They're actually not running me ragged with their in & out thing they do when it's colder. The lab & weiner are both in taking a nap & the beagle is the only one out enjoying herself.

10) talked to oldest dd on the phone this am. Haven't heard from her since last Sun. She said they've all had the crud & sil is still pretty ill. I'll call other dd later to catch up on her family. DS calls pretty much daily. He broke up with his girlfriend this wk because he caught her cheating (the <25> actually went & spent the night in a motel with some guy). I hope DS is finally done with her - she's used him financially & never treated him like he deserves. They were together 6 months & hopefully he's had enough of her sh_t & is ready to move on. I am here giving him moral support all the way. He's had a rough time trying to grow up & @ 22 I think he's on the right track finally - he sure don't need <25> bring him down again.

10.1 Texasdeb....welcome to the facts thread and I enjoy reading your facts. BUT you only have to write one more than the person in front of you, not all ten! Whoever is after the one with ten gets to start over with 1.

1.3456 (That's how we do side comments to someone else's post, in this case Egbok's #1) YES, we talked about you of course! You are one of our favorite people! I remember looking like a bumblebee in all yellow (you too!) when we met in Gettysburg. You are a ray of sunshine!

1. I have a sleeping cat at my feet. She thinks that she is an inside cat now that it is cold. I like having her inside!

1. Marm, that's right! We were both in yellow that day!! And you were a ray of sunshine to meet as well!! I think I've seen you the most of all the TVCHer's I've met.

2. I spent about an hour in our backyard raking up all the tiny leaves, branches and other wind blown stuff laying all over our lawn. I liked working in the backyard with the cool breezy air and sunshine dodging in and out of the clouds. Nice!

1) why didn't somebody shut me up sooner? Thanks Schoolmarm for giving me thread use instructions.

2) my lunch was yummy: fried catfish & shrimp dinner with all the trimmings - I've got the energy now to get cleaned up & go do my Wal-Mart thing.

2. As you can see, we both did two facts at the very same time...

3. So now it's back on track with this post. Try doing 4 next!! And please don't leave this thread...you are so much fun to read!!

1. Last night's dinner with Marm was fun...and in my book, there aren't many things that are better than molten lava chocolate cake...yum! Glad you made it home safe, Marm! :-)

2. I slept so hard last night, that when I woke up and saw what time it was, I thought I was late to work! It felt good, though. I am rested!

3. I bought a cheap Chipod (fake Ipod from China, lol) a couple of weeks ago. I only paid around $50 for a 8GB one. Sounds too good to be true, you say? Well, the damn battery won't charge! Or at least it hasn't been - it is doing something now...but instead of green filling the icon, it's red. They are sending me a new battery for it, but of course it isn't something I can do myself...there is soldering involved. GAH. But it is really cute, and it does really have 8GB of memory. It's a second generation Nano (pink, of course), lookalike.

4. Tonight, I'm going to the movies to see the Bucket List, and then out for a drink or two. Woo hoo!

Hope you are all having a great weekend!

1. LOL, Deb, we just like reading people's facts!

2. Dakota had tryouts for softball today. She did pretty good. I posted a couple pics in my folder, though they are not the best.

3. Since she's at a slumber party, Darren took Caleb to see Cloverfield.

4. I've got the house all to myself for a couple hours and its kind of nice. That doesn't happen much anymore, usually when my nephew is here he goes home right before or right after Caleb gets home from school.

5. We've got to go grocery shopping when they get back. I'm on a mission to cut my grocery bill back so instead of shopping at my much loved Vons with the employees who know me and are always friendly, we're going to go to Winco. I've been once and it made me twitchy, too big, too crowded, and the employees weren't all that helpful. But, they do have excellent prices.

1. Colossus just came down the stairs wearing his smoking robe and nothing else;

2. He pointedly walk close to me so I could smell the Aramis;

3. He was on his way to the fireplace, where he's now building a fire and looking back over his shoulder to see if I'm watching;

4. I think I'm in trouble, or I'm in for some fun depending on your perspective;

5. Of course I'm in flannel jammies. Guess I better go change;

6. Yay for snowy Saturday nights.

Nope, it's an actual "Armchair Theatre" style smoking robe LOL. Hey at least he's not wearing one of those Sherlock Holmes deerstalkers. I'd have a hard time getting excited about something like that.

1. LOL, hope you had fun Gal!

2. Dakota had fun at her sleepover last night. She called and asked if her friend could come over for a few hours and we said sure. When they got here, her parents offered to take Caleb to play with bff's brother. Caleb asked if he could stay here instead. We said sure.

3. The girls spent most the time playing the Wii while the boys played Runescape on the computers. Normally I'd send them outside but it was pouring down rain so the got far more game time than they'd normally have.

4. Someone drove through our yard. We had no idea til bff's parent's brought the kids over and the dad asked us what happened. We said...HUH? Sure enough, there's tire tracks right across our grass and not just ours but the neighbors as well. It looks like someone drove off the street across their driveway then their yard, across ours and out our driveway.

4. Sad thing is, we had no idea. I was up til 3 this morning and then went to bed and stayed awake a few more hours talking to Darren who had woken up by then and we heard nothing. When I went to sleep he got up and was up the rest of the day and didn't hear anything. Even when we went grocery shopping Caleb stayed home (though I know if this happened during the day one of the neighbors would have seen it and come over to tell us!)

5. Luckily, other than the grass in both ours and the neighbors yard, nothing was damaged. The cars, trees and houses are fine. I'm a bit worried about the sprinkler lines but the water main should be fine (they didn't run over that!)

6. Caleb is already doing track at school but told me the other day he was thinking about joining either the anime or guitar club also. I was thrilled for purely selfish reasons, lol. All their after school stuff ends between 2:15 and 2:30 and I'd be able to miss the after school traffic which is just horrible! Mondays and Wednesdays are great days when he has track cuz there is almost no one there.

7. My two youngest nieces were supposed to come spend the day with me tomorrow but sis' plans changed so they'll be coming over later in the week. Today is sis' bday and she was supposed to go out to lunch with a friend but the friend had a change of plans and had to postpone.

1. I am kind of Achey today. Just really tired.

2. I have another conference this week, and again I'm driving.

3. COOL! I get to stay with my parents afterwards, and my Mom is making cookies for our reception.

4. I need to make a handout for this one, to. Preferably today.

5. But I'm tired, so I might take a nap.

6. I have to go in to work at 3:00. (I was in for an hour this morning at 8, but I'm back home to get some work done.)

7. Yup, that is right, I'm home to do work! Can't work in my office, it's too noisy!

8. My cat likes it when I am home.

1) DS works swing shifts at his job & he was on 3rd shift last night & switches to 2nd shift today.

2) he calls me mid morning because he's cooking a steak & his baked potatoe just isn't getting done in the oven.

3) he had put it in the oven @ 425 & after 20-30 min it was only about 1/4 done.

4) I told him (after chuckling) that next time just oil that tater & nook it in the microwave..told him go 5 min & ck & squeeze it with a paper towel & then go another up to 5 min. & your tater gets done the same time as your meat.

5) He laughed & said he was laying down for a bit because of the shift change.

6) He calls me about 3:00. He had been asleep for about an hr. when that x girlfriend shows up & wants him to give her money for cigs. DS told her no way he was giving her any money & she needed to get her stuff out of his house pretty soon.

7) She gets all mad & grabs a belt & starts hitting DS in the back with the buckle part. DS says he threw his arm up in defence because that buckle was coming right for his face. His arm/hand hit the x right in the eye & she has a shiner to show for it.

8) seems like she's telling everyone that HE attacked HER.

9) I talked to DS a little while ago & he has a friend's house to go to after work for the night. He also called the police because x told him that she filed a report - police have no record of her filing a complaint. She also told him that she was going to get her cousins to really mess him up & he would need new cheek bones, chin, etc. That's why he found somewhere else to stay tonight. I told him to contact the police himself & give his side of the story just in case something comes up. I will be contacting my X (DS's dad) because WE as a family have to get involved. DS lives in Alabama & all of his family live here in TX. What a mess!}

1. Oh no Deb, that's a terrible situation. I hope it is cleared up quickly and your son is ok.

2. I have a sore throat. Ended up staying home instead of going to sis' for her birthday cuz I don't want to be around the baby.

3. Fell asleep somewhere around 4:30, woke at 5, back to sleep 15 minutes later and so on til about 7. Unlike other times when I take a nap during the day, I am exhausted still and will be going to bed as soon as my laundry is done.

4. Darren finished his second class and is getting ready to start his third one. He's doing well in school.

5. Caleb decided to join the anime club. It's on Friday afternoons til 3:45 (2 hours so they can watch movies sometimes.)

6. He brought home a permission form for a field trip to the Getty Museum and we cracked up. It said that they would be leaving at 8am and planned to get their about 11 (traffic is horrible headed towards LA in the morning) and that they would be leaving at 1:30 and expected to be back at 1:43. 3 hours to get there, 13 minutes to get back...Darren said they must be coming back on one of those new flying buses. Caleb said teacher told them they'd be back at 3:40 (two hours after school gets out) which is ok by us.

7. Since most of the girls on Kota's softball team go to school with her, the girls decided they'd practice throwing and catching during recess and lunch. Kota was a little miffed because it was raining and they weren't allowed outside today.

8. I want to clean out my laundry room closet and cabinets this week to use them for my craft stuff. If I have time this week!

9. The puppy is laying on my feet. She's been doing really good though house breaking is still a bit of a challenge.

10. My nephew was in the sweetest mood today (I don't think he's feeling well either.) He was so lovey and spent the better part of the morning giving me hugs and sloppy kisses and sitting in my lap. I love days like that.

1) I had a horrible wk too. Being sick & haveing to work was no piece of cake. I'm all better now except the chapped nose & upper lip thing (and of course, I still sound like a frog lol).

2) The weather has been great this wk-end - upper 60s. It's predicted to be about the same tomorrow but will get a bit colder after that.

3) haven't heard from DS since Thurs. eve. If he doesn't phone by mid afternoon, I'll be calling him.

1. Not a great week here either, but it's starting to look up, no one's sick!

2. Sis called about 10:30 tonight (she just hung up, lol) and told me she found a box of pics of us from when we were kids. She's supposed to bring them over so I can scan them.

3. Little nephew isn't coming til this afternoon instead of this morning. I'm taking advantage of him not being here to go clean my aunts and help her with a shower so I don't have to worry about doing it in the afternoon.

4. Caleb and Kota thought they should have the weekend off. They told me they weren't going to be doing any chores. I just laughed as I handed her some trash to take out and him a laundry basket. Not like they had much to do anyways, the weather was too nasty for him to mow and her to clean up the porch and driveway!

1. I was iced-in at my parent's last night. I returned home to 70 degrees. WEIRD!

2. I got to work and taught with a power outage in my classroom and office. WEIRD!

3. I drove through two hours of FOG to get to work. WEIRD!

4. I just got back from our state conference and am exhausted....well, that's not weird!

BUT....

5. I caught the plague at the conference and am a tenor and am coughing up a lung. WEIRD!

1) my new boss arrived today. I've known him the whole 12 yrs I've been w/the co. He walked right into my office & of course I stood up to welcome him. He extended his arms & gave me a huge bear hug - I think we will be a great team.

2) my new boss's boss is also here. I've also known him even better than new boss for 12 yrs. He's such a trip & so smart. I told him today that he was just fun to have around. He told me that I saved myself because at least I didn't say he was funny looking. (he really is funny looking too - looks like Bart Simpson)

3) had to have a plumber come to my house & clean out my garbage disp. Plumber tells me that new/red potatoe skin is the reason. Who would have guessed that you can't put those soft skins in the disposal.

4) If my wk goes good, I'll be making a road trip this wk-end to see 3 yr old GD. I haven't seen her since 11/10 & I've got Mamaw needs that are starting to hurt.

5) Her 15 yr old brother has recovered from his burst appendix that happened 3-4 wks ago. He got a release from the DR. to play sports again.

6) I'm so happy to be back to normal. You don't appreciate good health until you go through a wk of hell like many of us did last wk. Here's to Schoolmarm knocking her crap out faster than I did - WISHING YOU HEALTHY!

1. Tee hee Deb (not tee hee at you, but at this memory) my bils mother stopped up the sink every single holiday with potato peels, red, brown, every color you could imagine. The first holiday after she died, we were sitting around later that night and kept wondering what it was we were missing, something just wasn't right. Finally it dawned on us...the guys weren't taking the plumbing apart. We got a weird giggle out of it!

2. My nephew didn't come today but my two youngest nieces did, and then after school their big sister. We had fun.

3. Dakota was sounding better but now she's coughing (bark) and froggy voiced. Not sure if this crap is just hanging on or if it's asthma related because of the weather/wind.

4. Caleb's going to the Getty Museum tomorrow. He came home today and asked if one of us wanted to chaperone. I miss elementary school where they asked weeks ahead of time, one of us would have volunteered even if Darren would have had to take a vacation day.

5. Darren worked from 4-4:30 today, got home and ate dinner, then turned around and went to school (he'll get out at 10.) He's going to be falling over tomorrow from exhaustion.

6. I had a friend come over tonight to borrow some books. He asked if I had a grocery bag, I said sure and brought him one...he asked if I had anything bigger, lol. I have a large plastic bin of books I took off my bookshelf a few months ago and I tried to get him to take the whole thing! He said he'd just borrow em in stages.

7. I'm sending Kota to bed now (an hour early) and she thinks I'm being mean. I just think she needs more rest right now as she works towards being healthy again!
