mygetaway, no, it is a pontiac grand am....take it you had o2 sensor issues, too?

holy cow....TEN, i will do my best.

1. a guy at work who is leaving to open up his own mechanic shop put in the oxygen sensor for $5.

2. my alterego friend told me that i would be able to find someone there who would help me....connections are a wonderful thing.

3. i have had a headache since about 4:00 this afternoon...don't know why.

4. boston public last night hit a nerve with me. lost my dad to cancer about 4 years ago, and watching stuff like that is hard.

5. above-said friend called to ask if i watched it, said she had thought about me, and asked if i was ok.

6. i love tuesday night tv. watch american idol, tape gilmore girls to watch afterwards. my favorite shows.

7. wed. night tv is a different story...like the shows, but it stresses me out trying to watch 3 at the same time....dawson's creek, american idol, the bachelor....aaaaaauuugghhhhh.

8. i ate peas for dinner tonight.

9. we had some weird pop up storms here earlier tonight. also we had a hailstorm here the same night that spy experienced those in arkansas...not nearly as severe though.

10. it isn't easy to come up with 10 facts.

1. Did Babyruth say she's getting spayed in June? If so...that was too cute!
<I hope it all goes well for you - take care>

1. The springtime StoryTime session has concluded, so I get to stay home today and clean house until it's time for DD's dance class tonight!! Yay! (First thing on the agenda: 15-minute room-rescue in the kitchen, then make some tea and breakfast.)

2. Bought myself some clothes yesterday at the mall (pants, mostly) and a skirt and top for the dreaded upcoming reunion--which I steadfastly refuse to attend. Have to try this stuff on.

I think I'll start a thread about summer reunions, okay?

1. Today is grooming day - for me and the dogs.

2. I'm also taking the car to the insurance adjustor for a damage estimate.

3. I get paid today - good thing, too. I've been out of money for about a week. Thank goodness for a little bit of savings!

1. Jbean, our engine light keeps coming on for no apparent reason also, so I'm wondering if the o2 sensor is our problem too.

2. DH has an AA in automotive technology, but he likes working on the older cars better. However, he can usually get us the discount on parts.

3. I'm not liking this being up early thing, and then going back to sleep again about 8 am. It's ruining my "schedule.".. LOL

4. "See" you all later... Have a great day!

1. First day of school, just watched Caleb get on the bus, he's happy, I'm happy, and Dakota's happy.

2. Our next off-track time will mark the end of first grade, last two weeks, and then we'll start the new year.

3. I have no plans today except to enjoy "girl's day" with Dakota. She wants to watch her Barbie movie together and rearrange her room.

4. I once had a car that the engine light never went off on. We sunk a whole lot of money in that car and in the end, ended up trading Darren's parents for the Lincoln. They donated our old car to the local high school auto shop.

5. I'm hoping that the insurance company hurries up and does what they have to for Spy's car!

1. I threw up four times last night completely out of nowhere (I felt fine, got really hot, threw up a few times, then it went away and I'm fine)

2. I have GOT to remember to mail my rent check today (whoops)- it's been sitting on top of my computer with a stamp on it and everything for a week- the days just go so by so fast.

3. A new Big Lots just opened here and i was surprised to see that you can actually get some pretty good stuff there- I bought tons of cleaning supplies for only $20.

4. My cousin is getting married in Vegas on May 12th- I am not into gambling so I was thinking of getting a bucket of quarters and a stool and sitting in front of a vending machine screaming that I won everytime a candy bar falls out.

5. We played one of those murder mystery dinner games at my cousin's house this weekend and it was actually a lot of fun (although we didn't dress up for it or anything like that).

1. I'm on vacation this week.

2. Yesterday I did some laundry and cleaned the kitchen.

3. I don't cook or eat in my kitchen cuz my stove doesn't work, and my kitchen table is covered with laundry.

4. I do all my cooking downstairs in my parents kitchen which is a much better kitchen for cooking cuz there's lots of counter space. I love cooking down there.

5. My dearly departed aunt made the best cookies at Christmastime. We haven't had them in a few years. I think I'll make some for my Mom for Mother's Day.

6. My parents and brother are driving up from North Carolina the day before Mother's Day. My sister will not be a happy camper when she finds out that my mother doesn't want any company on Mother's Day.

1. I was already here this morning, but I got exciting news.

2. I have a new neice! She weighed in at a little over 6 pounds and is perfectly healthy.

3. Despite the fact that I want to run over and meet her, I am giving mom and dad a few days to get settled before barging in.

4. When I brought my new babies home, all I wanted was a few days to relax before being bombarded with visitors...I try to respect that with other new parents.

5. Now I need to figure out what the heck I'm going to cook to take with me, LOL.

6. Baby gift will be night gowns, mom's gift, Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I'm so excited!

7. I have forgotten how quiet it can be to have Caleb in school all day. This will take a few days to get used to.

8. Dakota and I spent the morning having breakfast together, watching her video, and just talking. Never did get to rearrange her room, but she was exhausted enough she went to lay down an hour ago and I haven't heard a peep out of her.

1. WAR! CONGRATS!
2. Maesin and I went to lunch today at a casino.
3. We went to the buffet and it was awful.
4. The manager gave us our money back.
5. She was REALLY nice and we did NOT expect that.
6. Then Maesin and I decided to contribute to the economy.
7. WHOOOOHOOOO...I put in $20 in a "Lucy" machine.
8. I walked out with $214.
9. Also got my haircut today!

1. How did I end up following her? There must be more than one case of stalking going around in here!

2. Congrats War!! I thought she went into labor a week or so ago? Took that little girl long enough to join us!

3. I work graveyard. My hours are 1am to 9am. I have Thursday and Friday as my days off. For those of you dayshifters that translates to Wednesday night and Thursday night. I used to have Thurs and Fri night off, but Friday was taken from me and hopefully I will get it back.

4. I like to work graveyard and am happy doing it. Someone's gotta pull the night shift. I have been thinking about changing shifts but I won't make any choices on that until after baseball season and school stuff.

5. I do know what an O2 sensor is. Been there, done that! VW Rabbit. Had friends do the stuff for me. I think that was one of the parts we pulled off the car when it finally had it's last ride. KIK. (hehehe)

6. My Mariners shut out the Yankees yesterday. Meche denied Clemens his 298th win.

7. GO CANUCKS!!

8. My Mariners better beat the Yanks again today.

9. I will watch and root for the Yankees as long as they are not playing Seattle. But I am not a Yankees fan. Really. I swear!

10. I kept refreshing the thread hoping to spare you all from this list. It didn't work. If you made it this far, let me know, I'll put you in the drawing for the free lollipop!

1. KINKOS lost my QUOATATION MARKS! Do you know HOW many quotation marks are in a historical dissertation???? OMG!!! And this was on my final printout this morning. I've spent the whole day editing what should not be edited. It didn't print the apostrophes or the umlauts or the accents above the e for solfege. (*$#^%*@*

I pulled an all nighter, almost, last night editing punctuation and it will be a long night tonight! SHEESH!

Ack, Marm! How on earth did they lose them???

Maesin, she did go into labor Easter! Even though she was 19 days or so from her due date, the drs told her baby would be here most likely that night, but definitely that week.

1. Damage estimate on the car is $2600

2. I bought groceries, cleaning supplies, toiletries today as well as got my dogs groomed, and my hair highlighted. There goes a big part of my stupid check!

1. I forgot my PIN number for my ATM card today.

2. I've had the card for four years.

3. It is driving me nuts that every four number combination I know (end of my SS #, ends of phone #s, etc) is going through my head and I kind of know the pattern of the number.

1. WOW Spy! Those were some pretty nasty hail stones!!!
2. Kali, isn't that the pits when you totally blank out?
3. I'm hoping Hippyt has someone take care the puppy next door to her...SOON!
4. I'm waiting for "Manor House" to come on.

1. Yeah Spy, it doesn't take much really to get that kind of estimate on auto damage. My broken headlight and scratched bumper estimate was over $1700 and it was on an eleven year old car!
2. Kaili, I commiserate with you on forgetting PIN numbers!
3. I believe Kstme is a lucky duck and I want her to go with me if I ever get to Vegas and show me the ropes!
4. Maesin, I am a former nightshift hotel clerk/auditor/drunk-bouncer Congrats on your winning team!
5. I am happy that it is Survivor day!

1. It is turning out to be a beautiful day here today and that makes me smile.

2. We finally got our house torn down and burned on the weekend.

3. It was a great big deal and everyone stopped to watch the firemen work.

4. The funniest was when a car full of grannies and one grump stopped and were in near tears asking if it was my house. When I said yes there was gasps of horror all around. When I told them it was a controlled burn they were relieved and said "thanks for telling us dear or we would have worried all weekend." Way to cute.

5. Everyone told me I should have played up the situation and they would have peeled off the hundreds for me and cooked me meals for the next month.

6. Today they are digging the hole for the new house and can you believe that we are so far on schedule. KNOCK ON WOOD.

1. Today was month end closing at work.

2. I'm glad it's over.

3. I had a not so good for you dinner: Doritos, a fortune cookie, some parmesean cheese, and a Hostess apple pie.

4. I think I've only posted in this thread twice.

5. I miss the time I got to spend here while on medical leave.

6. I feel as if I've been slacking and not creating a big enough ruckus.

7. The wild carrot front lawn that I had is now brown due to a chemical application.

8. KIK right back to Sukii.

The story behind KIK started in chat a while back. Something funny was being discussed (don't remember what it was), and Sukii typed KIK instead of LOL... from that point on, I have never let her forget it. It's even more funny now, KIK !!

1. Went to Staples....they found my quotation marks! WHEW!

2. I have the two plain paper copies in my possession.

3. I just have to print two "fancy paper" archival copies tomorrow!

4. Then go to the bindary.

5. I have had very little sleep.

6. I hope I get paid tomorrow, cause this is costing a FORTUNE...I'm into 4 figures, with all the fees and copies and the one credit of tuition, and I haven't even been to the bindary yet.

7. I think that the bindary will be between $200-300.

8. I hope Spy is saving her pennies for the "end of the degree" expenses!.

9. I missed Survivor tonight.
