Urgrace | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 12:12 pm     1. It was a real treat seeing Jmm and Draheid with ds again this weekend. 2. Draheid video'd my mural and is planning to make an epic movie from it 3. I still haven't caught up on things around the house that need to be done since we got back from our road trip. 4. We did take another day off for the airshow yesterday, and I finally got to see more than three hot air balloons at once. 5. I'm thinking about joining the NB Hot Air Balloon Association, so that I can become a chaser and get to fly, too. They meet once a month and have a pot luck picnic after every flight. The dues are 8$ annually to cover the expense of a monthly newsletter, and I think that is quite the bargain. 6. There are dozens of things I should be doing other than posting here, but I am procrastinating. 7. I hope everyone enjoys the day catching up on the threads.

Wargod | Tuesday, September 09, 2003 - 09:49 am     1. Our weather has taken a turn towards the odd. It has actually been chilly the last two mornings. In September! In the desert! 2. Hi Neko! 3. Woo hoo little Wargod! I'm very happy to hear he is doing well. 4. Kota's birthday is Sunday. We deliberately kept the party small and simple. I'm taking a cake, juice, balloons, and a pinata to the park, and the kids will get to play til they collapse from exhaustion. Dakota's thrilled at the idea, so that makes me happy. 5. Caleb has developed a crush on a girl his own age! He's had a crush on Sarah Michelle Gellar for years, but this is the first time he's actually liked a girl his own age. It's so cute. I'm doing my best not embarrass him too much about it while I'm in his class. 6. I'm so excited about Survivor starting that I can't stand it. 7. My car is fixed, and running awesome. This is the first time in two years that theres not any sound at all coming from it. Now I'm wondering how long it will be before it completely dies. 8. I wish Gracie would come paint some flowers for me. My attempts are coming out better than I expected, but not as well as I'd like, LOL. |
Spygirl | Tuesday, September 09, 2003 - 12:16 pm     1. I've been absent from this thread for too long. Life has been hectic and good. 2. I started a walking/running routine. I've always thought those who enjoyed running had a few screws loose. I am now one of those people. It actually feels good to run (still can't believe I just said that). 3. Kansas feels like home to me. I am enjoying life, work, and home. I have two classes left to teach and then I finish my first graduate course as a professor. I have a 4 week break before my next course. 4. I'll turn 29 years old at the end of this month. This is the last year I'll be "in my twenties". That is hard to imagine. I feel blessed to be where I am in my life at this age. 5. For my birthday, I'm going to Austin to meet up with friends - old and new. Anyone in the area is welcome (email me). 6. Sunday, I get to enjoy Rascal Flats from a front row center seat. I can't wait!!! 7. The day before my birthday marks the one year anniversary of the beginning of my weight loss battle. I've been at a maintenance weight for more than 2 1/2 months now. Total lost: 105 pounds. 8. Have a great Tuesday everyone. I love TVCH and missed it this weekend. |
Spitfire | Tuesday, September 09, 2003 - 12:33 pm     1. Congradulations to you Spygirl!! 2. What an accomplishment. 3. I had a little zest for running the start of the summer and it really did feel good. 4. Maybe I will have to try again. 5. Happy B-Day to you at the end of the month. 6. I joined Survivor Deadpool for the first time. 7. I don't feel like being at work anymore today. 8. We are having a bithday get together for my sister tonight. Her birthday is actually Sept 11 but it is a surprise. 9. This is the number 9. |
Neko | Tuesday, September 09, 2003 - 12:57 pm     1. ACK!! TEN!! 2. WOW Spy!! 105 pounds!! That's great! Congrats!! 3. I'm wondering if I used enough punctuation in Number 2. 4. We had out first quiz in Pre-Calculus today, and I'm quite sure I bombed it. 5. I'm trying to get a work-out training rountine ready for Throws training and if it seems to be working out well, I think I'm going to do it with the other throwers who want to start training early. (That might be three people at most ^_^) 6. Starting Monday, a friend and I are going to run everyday(I think, or every third day) in the park after school. 7. I'm hoping to get in better shape sincec even though I don't look 'that bad' , I don't feel really healty. 8. Also , with the running, I'm goign to get a membership to the gym and start doing cardio and weight training (Hopefully) 9. I'm planning on getting a part-time job and am debating on wether getting the job at the Shopping Centre, or out in the business park. One's closer to my house, but the other is much easier to get to from school) 10. I don't know how I'm going to afford eveything this year (Including trying to get my own car ) |
Froggiegirl621 | Tuesday, September 09, 2003 - 01:03 pm     1. I was in the process of typing 10 facts...but Neko beat me to it! Dang she's fast!!! |
Schoolmarm | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 04:54 am     1. Life is VERY busy, but good. I have nice students so far, but lots of computer problems at work. 2. I went to a German conversation table last night and had a blast! There were people there from Aachen, Kaiserlauten, Stuttgart and Wolfenbuttel. I have been to all of these places. The other professor who did research in Munich this summer was there with his daughter. It was great fun and I am looking forward to doing it again next month. |
Sage | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 11:22 am     1. I am related to the German composer, Richard Vagner. (My grandmother's maiden name was Wagner.) 2. I've lost 70 pounds over the last few years, and still want to lose 20 to 30 more. 3. Yesterday, I walked to the mall, and was pleased to be turning heads from men driving by. Some even waved at me.  |
Redstar | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 01:24 pm     1. I started to do this earlier, but an appointment showed up, and I accidently closed the window before sending! ARGH! 2. Last Friday afternoon the college I work for had a Family Block Party, so I brought two of the three grandkids. They tried to get me to go on this activity/ride thing where you ended up about 30 ft. up in the air, but I declined. With great seriousness and concern, my five-year-old grandson said, "We won't let you fall, Grandma Red." 3. A friend just got back from the east coast and is having a casual dinner tonight with all the fresh crab she brought back. I can hardly wait!!!!!!!!!!! 4. I'm heading out east myself next month to the Frederick, MD area. |
Urgrace | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 03:02 pm     1. I am looking forward to seeing DrSpy, Jmm, Dra, Glenn and hopefully GAL, MM and others later this month. Yay 2. Today is my third granddaughter's fifth birthday and I forgot 3. My oldest son is not moving back from Hawaii as I had suspected 4. My youngest son is going to Germany at the end of the month. I am so thankful it is not Korea, Bosnia or Iraq. 5. I had a nice lunch with my bowling pals today |
Sage | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 12:50 pm     1. Sometimes, I feel invisible. 2. At times it bothers me, and at other times, it doesn't. Today, it bothers me. 3. I'm missing out on all these get-togethers, and I do wish I could meet and re-meet some of you all. 4. I especially would like to meet sweet dra. 5. I'm packing up my stuff from my Mom's house, and don't know what to do with it all. 6. We are getting a new computer real soon, and this weekend will be shopping for a LCD flat monitor. |
Squaredsc | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 01:39 pm     1. before i found tvch i often felt like sage does 2. i haven't posted in this area in a long while 3. im not sure why that is but i think i have a clue 4. i will be glad when 2003 is over 5. it hasn't been a good year 6. i think something must be kicking saturn's rings (my zodiac planet) 7. im hoping 2004 is better 7.5. gosh this post sounds kinda depressing, i hate feeling emotional. |
Egbok | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 01:56 pm     (...there, there Squared...there's a reason you're feeling this way. It's cuz the full moon is pulling on your saturn rings. It'll be better soon...promise!)

Squaredsc | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 03:25 pm     rofl ms eggie, you are probably right. |
Redstar | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 08:58 am     1. Sage and Squaredsc, I'm sending big HUGS to both of you! You are very "visible" and important to us here at TVCH. (And Sage, what about all those heads you turned at the mall?) 2. Last year was the most miserable, emotionally painful year of my life. 3. At times all I could do was cling to the hope that things would get better. 4. Sometimes I wondered if it ever would. 5. But finally it did get better, and I rejoined life! (And TVCH!) 6. Sage, you might consider donating appropriate items from your mom's house to nursing homes/low income retirement homes, homeless shelters, or domestic violence shelters. Another idea is to keep an eye out for people who loose their homes from fires, etc. Usually an organization will be looking for household goods donations for people in that situation. 7. I need one more thing, so let me just say we've had a very much needed, nice, soaking moderate rain all morning. |
Schoolmarm | Friday, September 12, 2003 - 06:58 pm     1. We are having a folk music gathering in our forest this weekend. 2. I think I had food poisoning this morning, or something that resembled food poisoning. 3. I had WAY too many meetings this week! 4. I am getting visitors from Norway in a couple of weeks for our Autumn Leaf Festival. 5. I wish I were getting a visitor from Munich, but alas, no. 6. I saw a guy who used to pursue me at the concert tonight. It was kind of strange. 7. It was a beautiful day today! 8. There are backhoes and cranes outside of my office. It is interesting, but very noisy. I will be glad when the construction is finished! |
Wargod | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 12:29 pm     1. I'm done, done, done painting!!!!!! 2. Waiting on Darren to get home with my carpet cleaner, so that I can attack the carpet. 3. We have three hours with the kids with grandma to get all the furniture moved back in, the pictures and decorations on the walls, and then we are so done. 4. I got into a panic yesterday thinking we'd never be done. But we are!!!! 5. Kota's room came out better than I expected, but there are still some things I look at and laugh about. 6. The stems for the flowers are horrible, lol. But, they look ok enough not to redo them. 7. After buying all new bedding, rugs, trash can to match the bedding, and painting, we had decided not to buy her any toys for her birthday. 8. I decided she is five and would be crushed not to get anything, so she got one kitten that purrs and moves when you pet it. It's perfect for her! 9. After all this, I'll still have to clean my house, wrap all the presents, make goodie bags, make a cake, plus go shopping for the stuff we need for the party. |
Urgrace | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 01:38 pm     Good for you War! Hope you can post a picture, 'cause I'd love to see it. |
Ddr1135 | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 05:09 am     1. War's energy makes me envious. I wish I had that much energy when it comes to my house. 2. Square and Sage, big HUGS to both of you. 3. I had a great day yesterday. I went to my Aunt's 50 year Jubilation Celebration of being a Nun. 4. It was sort of a mini-reunion with my mother's family. 5. At one point in the ceremony, they thanked and blessed my grandmother for being there. Hadn't thought about it before, but not too many parents of 50 year nuns are still alive. 6. My grandmother is very hard of hearing, so when they gave her an ovation, she started clapping too, having no idea we were all clapping for her, LOL. Bless her heart. 7. I bought a file cabinet yesterday to try and control the paperwork in my office. Hopefully today I will tackle it. It's really bothering me. 8. I hate it when I get aggravated with my hubby. I got aggravated with him last night. 9. It's very foggy here this morning. 10. I'm praying for all you folks on the east coast, hoping Isabel will miraculously not make landfall. |
Sia | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 06:12 am     1. I wish I had Wargod's energy, too! I badly sprained my knee Thursday (per the E.R. dr., it's just sprained, was probably dislocated) and am in pain, and DH has been a real bear to me. Last night, after he'd had six or eight beers, he called me lazy. Ain't he a peach? |
Sage | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 10:06 am     {{{Sia}}} 1. I'm giving most of everything I own to Goodwill. Its just the sorting and packing of it, and the things I'm going to keep, that I dread having to do. 2. Yesterday, we went shopping for a coat for me, since all the coats I had before didn't fit me anymore - too big. We found a red one that I like very much. Didn't ever consider having or wearing a red coat. |
Wargod | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 09:19 pm     1. Dakota LOVED her bedroom! I snuck in a few minutes before her and caught her reaction as she came in. She looked all around and said, "this is everything I wanted!" She spent alot of time in there today, and went over to the neighbors to invite them to come look. 2. Her party at the park was very small, just immediate family and a couple friends, but kids and adults had such a good time we ended up staying two hours longer than planned. 3. As I tucked her in tonight, she told me she had the best birthday ever. I'm so pleased that she loved everything and had a great day. |
Urgrace | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 09:53 pm     1. Reading about Kota just gave me the best warm fuzzies. Sweet dreams birthday girl. 2. Sage, I can see you glowing all the way in Texas. 3. (((Sia))) hope you get plenty of time to rest that knee and get better. 4. DDr, I enjoyed reading about your grandmother and the reunion. Good luck on the paperwork and organization. I think we all wish War could send us a little of her energy. |
Knightpatti | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 10:04 pm     1. Happy Birthday to Spygirl and Dakota! I am glad that Dakota had a wonderful party. 2. I had a wonderful surprise today. Patsy called me today and hopefully she will be in Myrtle Beach on Thursday. 3. Hubby and I signed a contract for a new home to be built. Our model is called The Merlin! 4. Hubby leaves for Algeria on Tuesday for 2 weeks. |
Egbok | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 10:05 pm     1. War, Princess Pink was a success huh? That's so sweet! 2. Sia, I hope you're knee feels better soon. 3. Sage, how neat to know that you are now wearing a red coat...ouuuu...la-la!! 4. I went to the Hollywood Bowl last night, took digital pictures and I'll try to post a pic soon. (I'm tryin' to teach myself how to post pics!) 5. I've been studying most of the day for my Wednesday night class and I'm feelin' pretty caught up right about now...whew! 5.5 Everyone have a great week! |
