1. Chewpito, it does get confusing in here! Technically you are supposed to do one more fact than the last full fact list done by the previous person.

2. Since Wargod did 7 facts, the next person is supposed to do 8.

3. People add on with decimals when they just want to comment on that part of a person's post.

4. But I don't think anyone really cares that much whether things get out of whack.

5. Dave is really sweet, that's for sure. He went camping last weekend with a friend of his from high school. I made the comment that I didn't think that guy would remember me, and Dave said, "You might be surprised. I don't think you realize what a cool person you were to all of us."

6. Anyway, thanks for all the love in here, too. Warms the cockles of my heart.

7. I'm drinking a "skinny" Snickers coffee from my favorite coffee shop. I love the man who owns it! He's awesome.

8. By the way, I have it on good authority that I am the "Love Zombie." Remember, you heard it here first!

1. Heh, the numbering in here is just to keep the facts from bumping into each other. No one really pays attention to the numbers.

2. Hermie, what exactly is a love zombie?

3. Chewpito, Darren and I were the best of friends for 8 years before we ever got together. We've been together almost 15 years (will be 15 next week, actually) and we've never lost that sense of friendship along with everything else. I've always said we don't just love each other, we like each other too, lol.

4. Kids start state testing today, ugh. Phone calls from school started last Friday, reminding of minimum days, the importance of the kids being in school, getting plenty of sleep, and having good nuitrious meals so they can do their best. They've got my kids (not just Caleb and Kota, but my three carpool kids as well) so stressed and nervous it isn't funny.

5. As I dropped the five of them off this morning, I rolled down my window and hollered out to them not to worry about it, the tests weren't that important. The vice principal has drop off duty this week (he has to stand in front of the school til the second bell rings and keep an eye on the kids) and judging from the glare he shot me, it's probably a good thing he won't be at the same schools my kids will be at next year, lol.

6. My bil got pulled over again this morning, searched and thrown in back of the police car. This is the 3rd or 4th time in about as many months. Totally cracks me up everytime it happens. They never have a real reason to pull him over, he never gets a ticket, they run his name and license plate and nothing shows up, they search him and the car and find nothing and have to let him go but still keep doing it.

7. The reason it cracks me up is despite his looks (long hair, beard, jeans and tshirt, steel toed boots) and the fact that he owns a Harley, he's such a softie. He helps coach the girls softball team, takes care of the elderly relatives, helps with homework, etc. The only thing they've ever found searching the car was Darren's little trash bag under the drivers seat (bil was driving Darren's car that day) filled with used tissues, lol.

8. I love Twilight! The books and movies are good, but what I'm really loving is that it has opened up a whole bunch of debate between me, Kota, oldest niece, and the carpool girls. Not really Edward vs. Jacob, but vampires vs. werewolves. We've been going back and forth for weeks. I've agreed that the wolf pack is pretty cool, but stand by the fact that Jacob is a whiny, pushy, little baby throughout most of the series. They've finally admitted that Alice is pretty cool and Emmett is funny, but stand by their key point that Edward is moody and mopey.

9. Yesterday at the game I was telling sis she had to read the books so she could join my side and I wouldn't be so outnumbered, when one of the other girls cousins turned around and said Vampires Rule! She goes to school with the kids and said she was going to join the debate today, lol. I have seriously had way more fun debating these books with the girls than I did reading them.

1. Today is one of those days in which I feel like toilet paper is trailing out of the bottom of my pants leg, even though I know it is not. I keep battling the urge to check and make sure.

2. I just checked. There is definitely no toilet paper there.

3. But did you know that you should not wear a pantyliner with a swimsuit? It doesn't work. The adhesive is the first thing to go and then it starts to move. Not a good look. I learned that the hard way at 17. I know it is really common sense, but that is not something of which I have a surplus, thus my learning it the hard way.

4. Ohhhh, Chewpito, I forgot to add that when someone gets to 10, the next person is supposed to start over with just 1.

4. <singsong voice> I have a passport! I have a passport! It came yesterday. I think it is very cool. It makes you feel like the world just got smaller. And yet bigger at the same time because of new opportunities.

5. Wargod, I had trouble getting into Twilight. I found it to be a couple of hundred pages too long. That said, I respect any book that gets kids reading.

6. Plus, I have taken to spontaneously drooling whenever I see a picture of Kellan Lutz shirtless. Taylor Lautner, too.

7. Then I remember Taylor as Sharkboy in The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl and feel like I need to rinse out my brain with antibacterial soap. Or maybe just run it through the dishwasher.

8. Your poor BIL!

9. Well, now, oh, I almost forgot, the Love Zombie. I don't know what a Love Zombie is, but I am one. This is according to my niece, Natalie. My sister and I were talking about zombies one day ... I have no idea why ... and Natalie chimed in, "You're the Looove Zombie. Because you loooove so much."

10. It's definitely better than being the Hate Zombie. Or the Grumpy Zombie. Or the Zombie Who Smells Like Toe Cheese.

.5 Toe cheese, lol. A love zombie sounds pretty good though.

1. Hmm, don't think I've seen Kellan Lutz shirtless. Everytime the girls start talking about how hot Taylor is, I remember his character started out in the series at 15 and it's hard for me to agree with them, lol.

1.25 I said when I started reading the books, I would not have enjoyed them at Dakota's age. Too heavy on the romance, not heavy enough on the scary stuff, but I've mellowed some since then and I liked them. I did like the last book much better than the first three because it was darker and scarier overall, but I think I'm close to being alone in that, lol.

1.5 And yep, like Harry Potter, any book or series that gets millions of kids to read is great. They could have been utter crap and I'd love them for the fact that Dakota, who struggles with reading and even with Twilight has her moments of frustration where she'll put the book down and walk away, is still plodding through and reading it.

1.7 Oh, hmm...I may have to flip through the third and forth books and see if there's any shirtless Emmett scenes coming up for the next two movies. Pity if there isn't.

2. War, have your kids read Series of Unfortunate Events? Those were pretty good, and my kids loved them at about that age ...

1. LOL Lady, I haven't heard Team Carlisle yet, though I can get on board with that. More Team Vamp for me, they're all pretty cool.

2. Caleb has read Series of Unfortunate Events. Kota started but never got into it. She's been struggling through The Hobbit (required reading in 6th grade) through most the school year, but she only reads it when she has to and since I thought that book was beyond her skills to begin with and mentioned my concerns to her teacher, I'm not forcing that one.

3. Had to stop by little "adopted" sis' house a while ago and I got all kinds of loving from youngest niece and nephew. They're not coming over tomorrow (they were supposed to) but may go to the girls game.

1. Carlisle is a hottie, too.

2. One of the shows I have missed in giving up cable is Vampire Diaries. I'm really looking forward to renting that when it's available on Netflix.

3. Supernatural, too. Now talk about some hot men!

4. I have bright pink fingernails today.

1. I think I think of the strangest questions when I read things.

2. Hermione69 posting about getting a passport makes me want to ask if she is planning a trip to Canada

3. I wonder if anyone else had that thought.

4. I am not going to say what part of Canada even though a part of me wants to.

5. I need therapy.

1. I think of strange questions, too. Sometimes I blurt them out, sometimes I just think them. (I do have a brain brake, somedays.)

2. I hope Hermione69 is planning lots of trips, everywhere, especially Canada.

3. I am getting my passport soon, too. Now that DH can get one...didn't want to get mine until he could get his. He finally got his birth certificate problem straightened out...Yeah!!

4. I'll ask...what part of Canada would you like Hermione69 to visit?? Hmm, inquiring minds want to know!! LOL

5. You don't need therapy, unless we all do.

6. Month end again, I hate month end...I don't like working this hard!!

1. I swear I can hear voices from the basement of TVCH that were saying...........oh, yes he does

2. I love the time of the month when there is a full moon.

3. At 4 AM this morning I was listening to birds chirping away outside as I was getting up.

4. Apparently, it was so bright outside with the full moon that they thought it was daylight.

5. The bad part of me that knows that Hermione69 will likely not be back online until tomorrow sometime and that is going to keep me from answering Y2'S question. I want to see how Hermione plays with this.

6. I was born about two hours after a full moon.

7. Medical and law enforcement professionals will tell you that the crazies all show up when the moon is full. Okay, I am thinking of those birds this morning and not anyone else.

1. It should be legal to duct tape snotty, moody, grumpy 13/14 year old boys to the wall til they lose the attitude.

2. Caleb's making up for the first 13 years of being an easy child. One of the other softball moms told me today to hang on to my patience, her son suddenly snapped out of that attitude a few months ago. Unfortunately, he's 16 and I'm not going to last another 2 years!

3. Girls had an interesting game tonight. They've lost two games this season so far. The first team they lost to had a 0 (wins) - 6 (loses) and the second team was something like 1-8. Today they played another team that was 0-10 and were within a hair of losing it. They won 13-12, but would have lost if they hadn't had last ups.

4. Part of the problem (and it's funny it's a problem) is that every girl on the team is a hitter. Even the youngest, newest girls get up there and want to hit. When they face a team thats fairly young and inexperienced, with pitchers who are just starting out, they start swinging when they should just stand there and wait for balls. Another part of the problem is the girls get a bit overconfident and then make silly mistakes. They made quite a few silly mistakes early in tonights game but finally pulled it together later in the game.

5. Bragging now....Dakota had a couple of great hits tonight. If she was a faster runner, she'd have several homeruns under her belt by now. But she's not a fast runner so she has a ton of triples and doubles.

6. Talked to Darren for a few minutes earlier today. He was packing up and getting ready for his last day in Pittsburgh. Tomorrow he has to work and then will go straight to the airport. Won't be home til sometimes after midnight though.

7. He is sooooo ready to come home. If he could have, he'd have been on his way today. LOL, actually he'd have been on his way home last week, but today he was getting very impatient to come home.

8. Glenn beat me to 7. I can tell you at the retirement home, we saw a lot more wackiness during full moons than any other time.

7 & 8.1 Bankers will tell you that, too. Especially if a full moon occurs at the end of the month..at least this banker will tell you that.
I'll tell you a lot of things though.

1. I was going to point out that no one saw Glenn in this thread until there was a full moon til I realized that finger is pointing at me too.

2. And he ain't the only one who needs therapy. (Once a week, don't mess with my weekly gripe session with Holly!)

3. My son had court last week. He will be divorced in 3 more weeks. Custody of the kids still pending but Grandson is here til then and we get his sister once a week.

4. I would love to see the back of my soon-to-be-ex DIL for the last time but since there are kids involved I guess I have to put up with her for 16 more years.

5. I am not happy about that at all.

6. I saw my 22 month old DGD this past weekend for the first time since October. Not sure if she remembered me or not but she latched onto me and was Geegee's girl all weekend. She's so very precious, and a real cutie.

7. War, patience, girl. It's going to be a while before Caleb starts appreciating you. It will come though. Oldest son in his early 20's thanked me for raising him so strictly.

8. I think it's those raging hormones. Now that I am an older woman I think I can understand a wee bit better what a teenage boy goes through. I feel for them, it must be uber confusing.

9. I know you do too.

1. Not only raging hormones, but Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!

2. We had to go to the high school to register. While waiting in line, we were approached by dang near everyone...band, ROTC, football, student body, etc etc etc.

3. Caleb stood politely listening to each one. Said no thank you to the football team and student body, talked for a while with not only band students but the music teacher (unfortunately their guitar classes are completely full already,) and talked for the longest time with the ROTC kids though half of that conversation was about our neighbor kid who did ROTC at the school for four years and a lot of the kids know him and wanted info on him.

4. Throughout all of it, he was so polite and cheerful and happy.

5. We get to the counselor and she goes over his classes with him: Algebra (though she's pushing him to come in and take a math test cuz his previous state test scores show he should be in a higher level math,) Biology 1, Health, PE, Honors English. Then choosing an elective, he chose an Engineering course which she was really excited about, not only is it one of the college prep courses but with his English and Science test scores and grades it would be a good class for him. Again, polite, cheerful, happy, and pretty excited about his classes, he went on and on about how he's looking forward to the challenges and hoping by sophmore or junior year he'll be able to get into the guitar program.

6. Then we get in the car to come home and he informs me he's mad at me cuz I made him go register and he couldn't go hang out with his friends this afternoon. And how he's still mad he had to go to the girls game last night and it's soooooo unfair. ARGH! At least I can soothe myself with the knowledge that he knows how to behave in public, lol.

7. Darren's on his way home. Plane should land in about four and a half hours, though he won't be home til around midnight.

8. The weather, which was so beautiful Monday, is nasty today. Cold and very, very windy.

9. Dakota has her fasting blood test in the morning. I really hate putting the kids through that.

10. I should get off my butt and finish up my housework. Don't really have that much left to do, but don't really feel like doing it.

1. Darren is home and I am happy. I didn't even realize how tightly strung I've been the last couple weeks til he walked in the door last night and I finally relaxed.

1.5 Kids are thrilled he's back. Dakota ran in this morning and threw herself into our bed to hug and hug and hug him. Thought I was going to have to drag her out when it was time to leave for her blood draw. Caleb stayed home while we went to Kota's appt and then I came back and got him so he got to spend half an hour or so with dad before school.

2. We've already had a busy morning. Besides taking her for her appt, then picking Caleb up and running through McDonalds to get them something to eat and get them to school, Darren and I have already gone out to breakfast and did some shopping. He's taking a nap right now since he's still on Pittsburgh time and really didn't get much sleep last night/this morning.

1. I'm so glad Darren is home! :-)

2. I'm really worried about my oldest nephew. He's got the teen angst going on, and he's so sensitive and impulsive. I told a friend that I wish I could take on his pain for him, but I have to try to hope that in the long run it will help shape him into a stronger person.

3. One of the EMR students who has been a fixture in the school for years (they get to go longer) is finally graduating this year, and I just found out that he was elected Prom King! I am very proud of the student body for giving him that honor.

1. That's fantastic, Hermi! I'm proud of them too.

2. Ok, mini-break while I am LMBO. War, you remember talking about getting the lift chair for your aunt? Our neighbors were getting rid of one and hubby snatched it up, he had a total shoulder replacement 6 weeks ago and really needed it. Well, my son was just digging in the side pocket for something and somehow tripped the switch. As he was walking away it started reclining, and I just lol-ed, it was a wee bit freaky.

2.1 What was even funnier though was watching Denim the Chihuahua going nuts, that chair was reclining and that's a signal to her to hop up in Daddy's lap for a snooze under the afgan (sp!). She couldn't see him, couldn't jump up because it was moving, and I think it freaked her out too, she jumped up here with me and is now hiding under the side of my laptop. (I sit it on a travel size pillow to use it, much easier for me.)

3. I am happy for you guys that Darren is home, War. Hubby did a few TDY's and crosstraining when he was in the Air Force, it never got easier having him away. And on Caleb, yup, at least you can trust him in public, but you know how awesome that is these days? More proof that you should be up for Mother of the Year.

4. I am getting ready for my granddaughter to get here (and the half brother that doesn't belong to me- long story that I'm sure you'll hear soon grrr). Last week we could not fill that child up, she ate every 15 to 30 minutes and that is no exaggeration. She's 22 months so is probably hitting a growth spurt but her Mama's anorexic attitude about food is to blame too, I think. So I bought groceries today, got healthy fruit and unhealthy treats too, lol. She went wild for my potato salad. I came home and made more potato salad, just for her.

4.1 Well, not just for her alone, used 5 pounds of taters, but because she liked it so much. I also bought her a doll, she needs some girly toys around here. Too many cars, toy soldiers, and video games for grandson, not enough dolls.

4.2 And hey, I am going to use any excuse I can find to buy a doll!
