1. LOL Serate! I thought I was the only one who went against the rules...I love gifts that are useful and needed!

2. Sis came over and used the food processor yesterday. She looked at me and said, "My birthday starts Friday, I want that!"

3. Her bday is at the end of Jan, but she celebrates all month long.

4. Nieces are spending the night tonight. There's a little boy down the street that oldest niece has a crush on. The girls played outside all day long, lol.

5. I've been headachy all day, totally sucks.

6. After nieces spending the night tonight, Caleb's having a buddy spend tomorrow night. Might see if Kota can stay with sis otherwise she'll bug the boys. Or, rather, bug Caleb...his buddies never seem to mind Dakota hanging around.

7. Sis starts her new job Monday (she's still in training right now and will continue on the job after she starts working.) She's very excited.

8. It's supposed to rain here tomorrow. I'm hoping it doesn't, the kids will be miserable being stuck inside, especially Dakota who is feeling well enough to be playing outside again.

9. Think I'll see if the kids can hang out with sis one day this week so Darren and I can go have some date time. Despite his vacation time, we haven't had any alone time lately.

10. We got the new turtle yesterday. He (or she, not really sure) is about half the size of Harry (our 8 year old red earred slider.) Seems to be adapting well, but it's really kind of hard to tell if a turtle is happy.

1. Nope Wargod, I never want anything that isn't useful. Guess I take after my mom. 2 years ago, hubby wanted to get me a diamond ring [all we could afford was bands when we got married.] Ended up getting me a Kitchen Aid stand mixer, which he had to talk me into [and boy am I glad I love it!]. Last year, he mentioned a ring again. I got an electric griddle & a quesadilla maker. This year we had just moved into this house, had to buy most of the appliances, and then we had to get a vacuum - which I love by the way - so I said don't even mention a ring. Have to say I wasn't surprised by the set of pans he got me cuz we were talking about getting some and giving my brother our old ones. Big surprise to find the NuWave oven, as I had never even heard of one. But now I can see myself asking for a 2nd one next year. No need to ever turn the conventional oven on again! lol

1. Ohhhh, how do you like the quesadilla maker?? LOL, I'm fairly simple and easy to please. I don't wear, nor own, much expensive jewelry, perfume, or clothes. I'd rather have something I can use than something that sits on a shelf looking pretty (except for photos, I'll take photos any day!)

2. What I really like about the food processor is that with my wrists, sometimes cutting, chopping, grating, etc is physically something I just can't do and I'll have to change plans for meals or wait til Darren gets home to help out. With the food processor, no worries! Ok, it's also cool the way it chop chop chops very quickly, lol.

1.I was very disappointed with the quesadilla maker. Haven't used it much. I can do just as good if not better in a skillet, imo

2. I used to have one of those itty bitty mini processors. My blender - which I hardly ever use once I got it lol - has a food processor attachment but it sucks. Food processor sounds like a good gift for next year, if he makes me get one. lol

3. I'm heading to Kohl's to get some towels. Have "The Big One" brand on sale here in about a half an hour for $2.50 each. I haven't had a new towel in I don't know how long!

3.1 I just remembered. When I graduated high school I was given a set of 5 towels, 5 wash clothes, 2 hand towels. So it's been a lifetime. lol

1. The kidlets like to have quesadilla's for lunch when they're on vacation, it's easy and quick for them to make themselves. I like it cuz it's cheap (bag of cheese and a pack or two of tortillas from Costco lasts a couple weeks) and it's not completely unhealthy. They just toss cheese on the tortilla, fold it over, and then throw the whole thing in the microwave. Too bad the quesadilla maker didn't work better.

2. Heh, I got new towels a couple years ago. Darren had bought me a coat for Christmas and there was something wrong with it and we had to take it back. Think it was Gottschalks? and they only gave store credit. Other than a coat (which they didn't have by that point) wasn't the type of store I'd buy clothes at (I'm a jeans and tshirt kinda gal.) After searching and searching, I finally settled on a set of new towels.

3. Told the kids today they can get sick now, it's Jan 1st and our Flex Spending Account is active and full again. Really, I was joking, but I think Kota may have taken me serious! She's been asleep for awhile on the couch and hacking up a lung the entire time. I'm debating waking her up and giving her a breathing treatment but at this time of the night it'd just make her wired. But, if she keeps coughing she won't get any sleep that way either.

4. She'd been doing so well with her asthma, then when she got sick at Halloween it got really bad. She's had a few problems since then, but nothing real serious, this though certainly looks like asthma more than anything, she's not running a fever or complaining about not feeling well, just the nasty cough and wheezy.

1. Ummmm quesadilla's sound yummy! Add some chicken and veggies and you've got dinner. Thanks for the idea War!

2. We've been so lucky. Neither Nick or I have got sick in a very long time. Knocking on wood!

3. I've started taking down my Christmas decorations. I usually keep them up until Jan 06 but not this year.

4. My birthday is Jan 06 ... the big 44! lol! I can't wait cause 43 sucked big time!!!

5. Happy Saturday morning TVCH!

1. LOL, you're welcome, Vnick! The kids have been eating quesadilla's since they got out of school, figure tortillas and cheese can't be all that bad for them.

2. It was just her asthma. I woke her up and had her use her inhaler instead of the nebulizer. She went back to sleep easily and her coughing calmed down quite a bit. She was a bit wheezy today, but not too bad.

3. Since our FSA card kicked in Friday, I went to stock up on over the counter meds and filled a couple prescriptions. Have Kota's antibiotic for her acne that needed done in the next few days and since they also had a prescription on hold for her inhalers I refilled that one. Forgot the vial prescription (vials for her nebulizer) at home though.

4. Since I was going to the pharmacy, sis asked me to pick up some children's tylenol and mucinex (no one sick, she's just out.) Told her I'd bring it by Sunday. Then I ended up at her house today and told her I'd forgotten the bag at home and joked (I should know better!) that since I forgot it one of the girls would probably end up sick tonight.

5. She called me at 9:30, told me they'd gone to little "adopted" bros house and she was going to kick me. No one sick, but middle niece cut her finger on the knuckle. It's not bad enough to need stitches, but because of where it's at anytime she bends her finger it starts bleeding again and it hurts like heck. They're going to stop by and pick up the childrens tylenol. Told her I also had neosporin and probably guaze and medical tape cuz she wanted to splint her finger so she couldn't bend it.

6. Grabbed the neosporin, tape and guaze and realized my first aid kit is rather pathetic looking. I'm not at all happy niece cut herself, but am glad I had reason to look in the first aid kit for a non emergency to realize it's pretty empty. I have to go pick Kota's prescriptions up tomorrow so I'll buy a new first aid kit (and neosporin) then.

1. It's back to the pharmacy for me tomorrow.

2. Dakota has a monthly prescription for an antibiotic for her acne since she's still a bit too young to go on accutane.

3. She'd been running low and the fsa card kicked in so I had dropped it off and picked it up yesterday. I'll take my part of the blame...besides checking to make sure there was the inhaler (in a box) and a bottle of pills, I didn't double check the meds. Came home and set the bag on the table and forgot about it til tonight and asked Kota to put the meds up where they belong. She put the inhaler in the kitchen cabinet and then pulled the bottle out and stopped.

4. Mom, she said, somethings wrong with this bottle of pills. She tossed it to me and I knew immediately she was right. We always talk about the big bottle they put her pills in, a 30 day supply that takes maybe half the bottle and wonder why they don't usse a smaller one. This bottle of pills though was full.

5. Took them out and counted, instead of 30 pills there are 59. I double checked the label, it says "QTY. 30." Next I compared the new pill to one from last months rx, there exactly the same. Checked the label again for the pill description, it matches the pills. As far as I can tell, the only mistake is that they doubled the supply. Rather take them in and have them double checked though cuz it is a mistake. Dr never writes the prescription for more than 30 pills, doesn't even give us refills on it, she has to go see him every month to get it because with all the other creams/lotions/acne stuff she uses he has to keep a pretty close eye on it all. It's very odd, we were just chatting somewhere on the board last week about mistakes with meds.

6. Nieces are coming over either Wednesday or Thursday. Caleb's buddy is also coming over one day this week. I'm starting to wonder if I can claim all these extra kids on my taxes.

7. I've got a gift card for Michaels I got for Christmas and I haven't spent it yet. I'm feeling very uncrafty and unispired at the moment.

1. This may be my first post in over a year- maybe more- not sure really. It's been awhile. I'll update with the big stuff.

2. But I've had so much going on! I know some of you who I am friends with on Facebook know some of it, but most of you don't.

3. Tim and I got married at the end of June- it was simple, easy, outside at a park (we also rented the park dance hall for the day), and with beautiful weather.

4. We went to Switzerland for a week (plus a 3 day layover in Dublin on the way home) in September. Absolutely beautiful- lots of hiking and exploring.

5. We also bought a house (in April) and are living in Green Bay now- we're about a half a mile from Lambeau Field, can see the top of the stadium from the backyard (when the leaves are off the trees), and can hear the crowd during the games. The only disadvantage is you can't leave or try to get home for about an hour and a half after the games end because of traffic. Otherwise it's a lot of fun living so close.

6. We bought the house for our dog that we brought home (rescued from a sad life of being in basements, garages, and on a short tie outside in the cold) last Christmas. We were renting and not allowed to have pets so we bought her a house so we could keep her. World's largest dog house. Haha. She's three, a basset hound, and she's awesome.

7. I cam home from work one night around Memorial Day last year and Tim and brought me home a little 8 week old boxer puppy. She's the weirdest dog I've ever had- full of fun and personality and a really good puppy. She's 9 months old now and the two dogs get along great.

8. Finally...we're pregnant! I know a lot of people don't tell until 3 months and I didn't really want to- but with getting together and the holidays my family would have figured it out pretty quick. I have only told one friend (she was days away from giving birth when I told her), but Tim has no self control and had told everyone he works with, everyone he used to work with... Hopefully everything will remain good. We just hit 9 weeks and my second appointment is in a few weeks. (so if you are on my Facebook, please don't say anything- I have work people on there and my work doesn't know yet~ Thanks!)

~8.5~ Thanks everyone- we're excited & nervous, of course. I was curled up on the couch with the dogs watching TV last night and Tim was in the chair on his laptop and we were talking about how much of how we live is going to change. Including for the dogs!

1. Today is my 44th birthday and I'm so thankful to be here!

2. I was diagnosed with cancer last May.

3. I had cancer surgery the end of June. Mamie kept me sane by chatting with me on the phone during the 4 days I was on the oncology ward post surgery. While Hermi supported me from afar with much love and laughter!

4. I love Mamie and Hermi beyond words. And I thank TVCH for bringing them into my life!

4.5 I also was lucky to have a huge support system on FB of friends .. including TVCH friends .. who were wonderful the entire time!! Skootz, Mameb, Landi, Merry ... you know!

5. I started radiation in August. Six weeks, five days a week.

6. Finally after 6 months off I went back to work the beginning of November. My co-workers supported me the entire time and I am so glad to be back with them working again.

7. My doctor didn't think it was cancer. For three months I watched it grow. But I kept going back and finally she gave me a biopsy.

8. What I learned ... be persistant about your health and well-being!

9. I try and be thankful every day for being here and the love I have in my life. But today I am especially thankful!
