1. It is a beautiful, warm day in So. Cal today...so beautiful in fact, I can't bring myself to do much except enjoy it, lol.

2. I've got cleaning to do...and I'm sitting here with the windows and doors open, and the ceiling fans going, doing nothing.

3. I did get my kitchen floor mopped (still loving the new mop!) and while I was doing that, a certain little angel drew designs on herself with an ink pen. She told me she didn't do it, then told me someone told her to do it.

4. Since no one is home but the two of us, I sent her to take a nap for not telling me the truth.

5. I made a group of 6 year olds laugh this morning by not being able to say "Sasketchewan." (I'm also thinking I spelled that wrong, lol.) The harder I tried to get it right, the worse I mangled it, the harder the kids laughed. I was laughing so hard, I finally had to give up altogether and have the teacher come read it for me, lol.

6. The kids are getting to that "summer is almost here and I can't stand it phase." They're restless, talkative, and just a bit on the not wanting to listen side. The teacher was not happy at all with this situation.

7. I saw my sister for the first time since I found out she was pregnant. I can't get over how big her tummy is, and how on earth I missed it at Easter!

8. Kota's fish Bida died last night. We had a touching ceremony this morning in the bathroom. Once I get the tank cleaned out, we'll make a trip to the store to pick out a new one.

1) I lost 2 inches at Curves last month

2) Measure Lady said it was more but my file was incomplete :(

3) One of my very bestest friends online called me for the first time tonight. I was thrilled...

4) But since I was on the other line with my Mom, I missed it. I'm now bummed

5) I'm glad Northstar is back, I missed her

6) I'm dying to see a bunch of the season finales we have on tape, but son is studying for two big tests so we'll have to put them off until the weekend

7) The goat bays at the moon. The turkey reads the Enquirer

8) I'm having a hard time thinking of nine points

9) I'm reading this weird vampire/jaguar/werewolf book that's keeping me awake at night. Some of the scenes are just too graphic for my overactive imagination

1.Hippy the church down the street has a message board out front. Every week they have some enlightened message on it I can read as I drive down the street and usually crack up (someone there has a sense of humor.)

2. The message this week for mother's day was "If one child makes you a parent, two makes you a referee." Hahahaha.

3. It is 84 here today, but feels at least 95 with the wind. It's like standing in an oven.

4. Kota woke up too early this morning, and has spent the day lazing around. At 11, she came in and asked if she could go take a nap.

1. It is storming here, rain and thunder/lightning.

2. If it rains tomorrow, my son's field trip to the zoo--100 miles from here--is cancelled.

3. I have to have him at the school at 7:15 a.m., since the bus cannot pick him up at his normal 6:25 time and get him to school any earlier than 7:45, the usual drop-off time.

4. I don't know whether or not to get him up waaayyy early tomorrow and take him to school or not, because I don't know if it will rain; forecast is for "showers."

5. DH will be here in the morning so I can at least leave my DD sleeping while I deal with DS.

1. I worked until 2pm then attended my DS's Track'n'Field Conference Finals.

2. It was a special meet for me because this is the last time I will see him run in high school.

3. DS was a bit unhappy with his final results and this is when being a parent is the toughest. I told him I was so proud of him and gave him a big hug. Amazingly, he was receptive to my hug, even in front of his teammates.

4. Then I handed him $20.00 and told him to go have some pizza with his friends after the meet. I made him smile!

5. Then I met up with a long-lost friend who now lives in Bend, Oregon and we had a nice dinner with lots of catching up!

6. As we were leaving the restaurant around 9pm, we saw people standing in the parking lot and looking skyward...it was a total eclipse of the moon!! Very cool to see.

1. Kick some butt, Spy!

2. RG I got tired just reading your post, no wonder you were pooped! You got a lot done!

3. We had a garage sale yesterday (a friend put her stuff in too). We each made over $100.00 before we got rained out.

4. It really bites to have 50 stuffed animals get soaking wet, and a trailer platform of clothes drenched.

5. Sending positive vibes to Sia..though I'm not sure you WANT the zoo trip to be a GO or be cancelled LOL. Either way, positive vibes for your preference lol.

6. Yesterday during the garage sale, a neighbor who lives down the way stopped in (he's probably about 85 years old), was very chatty, introduced a lady he had with him, explained she was his wife's helper (wife has Alzheimers), she chatted a little, then he made sure to tell us "Just wanted you to know that we're not shacking up or anything!" I about fell out of my chair laughing. What a cute little guy. You meet the funniest people during garage sales, I swear.

7. IF I was motivated enough, I'd try to sell the rest of the kids' clothes on ebay and make more money...ugh.

1. Welcome to posting, Readonly!
2. WOW to Cyn, and thanks for sharing your art with us.
3. Congrats to the new Doc in the house, Spygirl!
4. Saw the eclipse last night! It was cool to see the top curve of the bright white moon grow slimmer and slimmer as the earth's shadow came up from the bottom, until the moon was completely obscured. My sweetie and I decided it would be good luck to make a wish and smooch during that moment. Then, slowly, the moonlight peeked through from the lower part of the circle and the little slice of light grew bigger minute by minute. We were standing on the back deck and could see it well, despite the vague glow of city lights.
5. This weekend is the Vintage Volkswagen of America festival: http://www.vvwca.com/, where we'll be hanging out with my Dad-in-law and his vintage Beetle, as well as drooling over all the other great old Beetles.
6. Saw A Mighty Wind last night and loved it!
7. I want Clay to win AI by a close margin.
8. I can't wait for The Amazing Race to start.
9. Saw Nell Newman on the Today show today. She's such a beautiful combo of her parents.
10. I'm gonna beat Half-Squeak's butt at Mille Bornes.

(Welcome to this thread Cjr!)

1. I'm so excited because as I type this my ds is on a flight home from college!

2. It's been 4 months since I last saw him.

3. I'll pick him up this evening and I know I'll embarrass him because I'm going to let my eyeballs leak.

welcome readonly! glad to have you here!

1. i went out with the same friend (alterego) that i always go with last night. it was a total blast, and the more i am around her, the more i think she is an angel sent from God.

2. i also ran into a real good friend from high school at the bar. we had lost contact due to lifestyle differences (ie. i was a big heathan and she wasn't and it was just easier to not talk). now she is divorced and back to being a heathan with me. :) we had a GREAT time last night!

3. however, when i came home, i could not sleep due to all the evenings happenings running through my head, and because i couldn't breathe b/c of forgetting to go buy allergy medicine....3 hours of sleep...today was SO LONG!

4. i will saw logs tonight no doubt!

ps. sorry, my facts seem long tonight....i'm used to doing *almost* 10 facts most of the time....lol

1) I'm not a happy camper, I spent all day yesterday preparing to see a lunar eclipse with telescope and blanket and all - it was clouded only but only at my house apparently everyone else I talked to today got to see it - grr.

2) I've only got to see two lunar eclipses in my whole life - the first I was too young to remember - the 2nd was several years ago when they had the comet going by as well.

3) I think actually *seeing* the earth's shadow is the coolest thing ever - it's just totally amazing to me to actually see OUR shadow!

4) My son came to see me on MOthers day it was a total surprise and too cool :)

5) I went to part time on my job recently - apparently they think part time means 42+ hours a week hence me not being here much lately.

1. Missed the lunar eclipse last night due to very foggy/cloudy conditions.

2. Was perfectly satisfied to see the eclipse on the late news broadcast; they showed a clip from somewhere that the view wasn't obscured, LOL!

3. Weather straightened up overnight and DS went on his trip to the zoo and had a fabulous time.

4. My son went to sleep at SEVEN o'clock last night and I got him up at FOUR this morning for a bath and shampoo.

5. Then we crawled back into my bed and slept until 6:30.

6. I decided against following the school bus on its 100-mile trip and "let my baby grow up" a little--and I cried when I dropped him off, cried all the way home, and cried myself back to sleep. He was fine and had a blast!!

1. My parents are visiting me right now!I haven't seen them since Christmas.

2. I'm playing for an opera singer's recital tonight. He doesn't count all the time, which makes it really annoying.

3. We have two graduation ceremonies today. I hope that the speaker is not boring.

4. It's cold here! This will be good for graduation, as the gym gets really hot under the gowns.

5. My students are giving a piano recital tomorrow. WHEW!

6. This is a "slow" weekend, and why I invited my parents to visit. HAHAHAHA!

7. I'm still grading finals and a few papers. The mound is getting smaller, thank goodness.
