1. Someone stole a plant from my porch sometime yesterday or today. THis is the same half dead, really ugly plant that I caught the intruder with this summer. It is also the plant that I find pieces of dirt under. Do you suppose that is has a buried treasure?

2. I'm considering putting a barbed wire gate (perhaps electrified) on my wheelchair ramp and the front steps. This probably violates some borough ordinance, but I'm sick and tired of people getting on my porch.

3. I'm leaving in a jiffy to go to an organ recital in Pittsburgh! YIPPEE!

1. I slept in late and got to have breakfast in bed this morning Big Ducky (BD) surprised me. He is the greatest.

2. Practiced playing soccer with Little Ducky (LD) and BD. LD is on a soccer team and they had there first game yesterday. It was funny watching them run from one end of the field to the other. They played for an hour and the score was a tie 0 to 0.

3. Worked in the garden and found BD has a bunch of big cucumbers that were ready to be picked.

4. We also picked pears off of the pear tree LD climb up to the top and was throwing down the ones from the top.

1. DH and I went to visit DD and DS today. DD is in her first apartment, so we went out and made sure everything was okay (it's a parenting thing...).

2. Everything was okay except for the fact that DD had pink hair. I was totally in awe and for the first time in my life, I was speechless.

3. Then I snapped out of it and bursted out with "what the h#$% were you thinking? Holy begeebers..." and she laughed with me and quickly informed me that she would be having her hair dyed back to it natural state tomorrow.

4. We visited DS next (he lives in a dorm) and thank goodness his hair wasn't pink or I'd would have started crying right then and there...LOL! Other than feeling the stress of meeting a paper deadline, he was doing fine.

5. We took DD and DS out to dinner. DD wrapped a beautiful aubergine silk scarf around her head so that I would feel more comfortable. I'm tellin' you, I've got the most considerate kidlets, LOL!

1. I just got back from a great dinner, and we got snapped by paparazzi.

2. I love to travel, but miss my dog, my partner, my plants, and going to the gym .

3. I've never had pink hair myself, but I've always felt a bit of admiration for people who follow their own sense of style.

4. I bought some new boots and a purse today and I wore the boots to dinner and they didn't hurt my feet and so now I'm feeling extra extra good about my boot purchase.

5. I think Schoolmarm's story about her stolen plant is very strange. I wonder WHAT was in that plant pot!!

6. I'm looking forward to cooler temperatures ... though I'm sure by the end of November, I'll be wanting it to be warm again!

Marm..Sounds like you really need to get one of those nanny/spy cam set ups going on there at your house this time. I wonder if it's some ongoing prank of the students or something?

A little late, but welcome to the board/thread Pashine.

1. #3 is out with the drivers ed teacher this evening, getting the last 2 hours of driving in prior to taking his drivers test.

2. I'm very poor this week...all three children have birthdays within two weeks of each other.

3. And when all three children get done with theirs its finally Mom's turn!!

4. Wonder why my entire family seems to forget mine?? lol

5. The last time I saw my dd Egbok she had normal color hair for the first time since she was a toddler...I kissed her.

6. Its raining here tonight, and close to being time for bed...I love it when its raining.

7. And Jbean my nose hurts just thinking about that....ouch

Redstar

1. Rocky the red betta is still alive.

2. I need to get some silk plants, though - the plastic ones are damaging his fins and tail.

3. Last weekend I was helping a friend at the Peoria Art Guild Fair.

4. She had a really good weekend of sales. She sold two major paintings, one minor painting, and a whole bunch of unframed originals, hand-coloreds and print.

5. I help her at fairs in exchange for art.

6. Daughter has shingles and is in a lot of pain.

7. I offered to take the kids for a couple of nights, but she said that their arguing is a good distraction.

8. Now that's pitiful.

1. i bought martina mcbride's cd that hit stores today. i love it. she has the most amazing voice!

2. i tried to win the cd yesterday when they were giving it away on the radio station. you had to be the 5th caller, and i was the 2nd and 4th. :( oh well....bygones.

3. i slept SO GOOD last night. 9 hours of sleep on a work night. that isn't normal for me. usually i don't sleep well on work nights.

4. i made green beans for supper tonight. YUM!

5. i think for halloween this year i want to be a goth girl (black hair, makeup etc). don't know if i have any parties to go to, though, or if i will be going out that night.

6. i don't buy halloween candy, because i live in an apartment complex and never get trick-or-treaters.

7. halloween is one of my favorite holidays though. i love the whole dress-up thing.

8. my mom called me at 9:30 the other night ( i was trying to sleep) and griped that because i had left the garage door open, and she didn't know, that one of the cats got out, and she couldn't catch him. sensing her anger at me, i went over there, and 11 minutes later, i had caught him, with very little difficulty, and was on my way back home.

9. it is getting cold here.....50 degrees and raining. blech!

Ok, I'll do ten!

1. We are finally in our new house!

2. Moving day was this past Saturday, and what a day it was!

3. The stupid guy at U-HAUL messed up our reservation, but luckily we got a truck from another rental place...bad part was we were already 2 hrs. behind schedule.

4. Our queen size box spring wouldn't fit up the stairway, and I now have about 5 or 6 good sized holes in my freshly painted walls.

5. Some how our brand new TV fell off our bed and landed upside down on our newly refinished hardwood floors...there are two big dents and scratches, but hey, the TV still works.

6. The second day we were in our house we realized that our oven was staying warm even after it was shut off, so off to Lowe's we went to pick out a new range...that place is like my second home!

7. Since we now have two new matching appliances we decided to just go for it and replace the old dishwasher too...it'll be here next week, yippee!!!

8. I am such a neat freak, so living in this chaos is killing me.

9. It's simply amazing to me and the BF that all this stuff that is filling up our new three bedroom home with full basement and attic once fit very neatly into our one bedroom apartment...where did all this stuff come from???

10. But after all the bumps in the road it feels so good to have a place of our own to call home!

10 1/2. My modem just arrived from Verizon - I'm finally getting DSL, whoo hoo!!!

1. I bowled a 201 once. (But my average is only a 145.)

2. The bowling ball I use (and still use) is my moms when she was in her late teens. It was manufactured by Manhattan Rubber, who is no longer in business.

1. My kids had a tough day at gymnastics (they are 5 and 7).

2. I was in tears watching my 5 yr. old daughter trying to be brave when she was scared to death of the substitute coach.

3. I have to wrap a kid's birthday present and all I have is Christmas paper.

1. My all time high bowling score is 17. And no, I didn't leave off a number, LOL.

2. So excited Angel is back...awesome show.

3. I caught the kids cold. It's been a good excuse to be lazy so there's a plus side to it I guess.

4. Hugs to Not's kids...its no fun if they're scared.

(...I'm sneaking in to answer jbean...)

jbean, she dyed her hair pink and two of her friends dyed their hair blue and one purple. They went clubbing/dancing and wanted to have some fun! I must admit, I really liked the pink hair on dd...it really lit up her bluish/green eyes and complemented her complexion (but don't tell her I admitted to that, okay!? LOL!!)

1. For anyone on this board who hasn't yet heard....my home PC has crashed....and yes I'm whining.

2. So...I have to get my share of playing in at work, for now.

3. Its helps that my boss is off today!!

4. Fall is here in Ohio...the leaves have turned so much in the last couple of days its breathtaking.

5. My bowling and my golf scores suck. Of course I've never been golfing....

1. Congratulations to Froggiegirl on moving into their new house...how exciting that must have been!

2. I used to bowl on a high school bowling team a looooonnnng, long time ago... It was the best time in my life! I should try bowling again.

3. Not1worry, I read with interest that your kidlets are into gymnastics. My dh is a former collegiate gymnast and he won't like hearing that your 5y/o was scared of the substitute coach. I hope she's feeling better today.

4. War, hope you're feelin' better too since catching that cold!

5. Joesmom...welcome to this thread! I hope we hear from you again!

6. Today is Thursday...it's Weight Watcher's day for me and then on to Curves. But first I better do some work in the office....LOL!

7. Came back in to write up #7 and to tell Bobbie that I'm sorry about her home PC crashing! I went through that about a year ago and I was offline for 2 months and it was pure hell!

1. Egbok, thanks for the nice words. DD is better today. I think it had a lot to do with Daddy being gone.

2. She's always wary around strange men (fine with me). If I had known that her regular coach had a death in the family, I could have prepared her for the switch.

3. She is a perfectionist and this was only her 4th class in a new level.

4. He started out with something she didn't know how to do and it was downhill from there.

5. But she was back to practicing backbends this afternoon!

6. She really does love it and has more gymnastics talent than I could have imagined. My son is unfortunately more like me. He tries his best and is enthusiastic, but is so clumsy.

7. I hate to bowl, mainly because I'm so terrible at it. Ditto for golf.

8. Welcome to Joesmom!

1. Welcome to the board Joesmom! You'll love it here! Lots of wonderful folks here!
2. Its definitely autumn here. Right now its 2:20 in the afternoon and its 41 degrees.
3. Last night I got out the space heater for my bedroom for the first time.
4. The cats loved it in my warm bedroom and slept with me all night. They ain't stupid. LOL
5. This weekend we are heading out to the country house to show it to prospective buyers.
6. I can't wait. The trip takes us all thru the rolling hills and valleys near the ski resorts so the changing leaves will be gorgeous.
7. I love this time of year! So crisp and colorful.
8. I think I am doing pretty darn well these days what with losing our dream home and my mother dying.
9. Its all thanks to you, my wonderful friends here. You help me keep my head above water.
of course I think I'm also in a bit of denial but hey...whatever gets ya thru.

Edited to add: Today is the foreclosure sale on our home so I'm especially in denial....at least for the moment. Won't know what happens there until tomorrow. Hopefully nobody bought it and it reverts back to the bank. That gives us a few months to move.

1. Our strike authorization vote was announced today. Almost 90% of the professors voted and it was over 95% to strike. I hope that the chancellor's negotiator actually negotiates tomorrow. I wish I were talking about bowling strikes....LOL. On the bright side, as a single person facing a strike, I am very glad that I have a church job and lots of private piano students, as I am NOT going to touch my retirement or savings (I hope).

Twinks....hate to tell you this, but your house is SO awesome, I can't imagine that it wouldn't sell. Please let me know if you are having a yard sale! I hope that your mother is doing better....you hang in there...life has GOT to get better!
