1. We missed Survivor last night because our cable service (also internet) was down due to the winds. Thank you for TVCH Survivor threads!

2.Getting Mom settled in has been (and continues to be) very time consuming and at times, quite trying and exhausting. Taking care of her after work takes up most of my "home" time. Home is needing a lot of housework that Ms. Sweetpea can't do while balancing on one leg. I need three clones of me to get everything done that needs to be done.

3. Ms. Sweetpea sent me off to the hot tub gardens last evening, where I enjoyed a relaxing, blissful soak all by myself. (Forgot to bring a yellow rubber ducky.) Watching the steam rise off the water and swirl up into the dark blue starry sky was hypnotic and heavenly. On the way home, I declared to myself that today, Friday, would be ME DAY, when I would not run any errands or do anything for anyone but myself.

4. This morning, on ME DAY, I slept in, watched Ellen on TV and sipped a huge mug of Peets' coffee and eating a Poptart (I never buy these...ok, once or twice a year).

5.I organized some papers and cluttery stuff that was driving me nutso. There is more to do, but the nutso quotient has been reduced enough for now.

6.I was going to call the forestry service about the hair on my legs, but decided to try shave them instead.

7.I then went to Curves (with bandaids on my legs) for the first time in a month, and loved that almost forgotten feeling of doing something good/healthy for myself, and vowed to get back in there at least 2 times a week, if not able to do three.

8. They had three new torture machines. Wheee! I had to try to exercise to the weird beat of Madonna's "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina" and almost injured myself. Some of those exer-music tapes really rock, and some suck.

9. Then, I did the dishes while playing one of my very favorite "housework" CD's, "Sing-It" (Marcia Ball, Irma thomas, Tracey Nelson). Just gotta sing and dance while working with that playing.

10. Now, it's time to catch up with my reading here, see what everyone has been up to! Sorry to be so long-winded! oops, I did 10

1. I wonder what a "nutracker" is and why Texannie gets one for her son.
2. It sounds awfully dangerous to me.

1. Fanny, I'm wondering about that too.

2. Would that be pronounced "Nut-racker" or "Nu-tracker"??? Hmmmm, big difference imho, even though I don't know what it is...LOL!!

3. I'll be home tonight all by myself...maybe I'll pop into Chat tonight with my bottle of merlot..LOL!

<Egbok the "Nu-tracker" pronounciation didn't even occur to me...go figure LOL>

Fanny, I like your way of thinking and I must get to know you better...LOL!

...and Texannie, it's quite okay that you misspelled the word...you gave us something to play with...thanks! LOL

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Texannie that makes ever so much more sense. Thanks!

LOL Egbok, where there's a gutter I'm usually close by. Shamelessly, I blame it on Halfunit

1. I wish more people would post in here.

2. I must say I've never considered myself remarkable. Thanks for the compliment, Texannie.

3. My strength comes from knowing who I am, liking myself, and having faith in God.

4. Right now I'm frustrated and really in need of some physical attention from the male species, if you know what I mean. Being single is going to be a challenge. How do all you single people manage? Ack!

1. We found out last weekend that DH's boss is one of many, many, National Guardsmen called up from our state to go to Iraq for the next 12-18 months.

2. Besides being worried for him personally, (and of course all others that are there now and going in the future..) we now have to worry if his wife will be able to keep the company going without him.. :(

3. Then on the news I saw that some men leaving from another area in our state had to buy their own supplies.. Boots, flashlights, belts, etc. I think that really stinks! Is this happening everywhere?

4. (Switching Gears....)
I was really looking forward to getting out of the house this weekend for the first time in over 2 months, and I twisted my ankle getting out of the shower a little while ago.

5. I *think* it's ok now, but it's still pretty sore. (Send me some healing vibes so I can get the heck out of dodge for awhile, k? THANKS!.. lol)

1. I tried Pilates for the first time yesterday and I'm actually sore today. It's an "Intro" class at my gym -- I have always done step, aerobics, weights, etc., but this is my first time at Pilates and it was great ... even if I am sore!

2. I didn't take my dog to flyball last weekend (it was to be our first time) because it was really nasty out and I wimped out and decided to stay in instead! I rationalized it by saying that my dog didn't KNOW that we were going to flyball, so he doesn't know what he missed!

3. Today I bought the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King PC game, and I'm looking forward to installing it but I'm almost too lazy to start a new game.

4. I just finished watching While You Were Out. I'm looking forward to next week's episode, in Toronto.

5. A few weeks ago I had my hair butchered both in color and cut, and I'm still a little distraught over it, though I've had someone else try to "fix" it and I've sort of figured out how to style it so I don't totally look like a freak.

6. I celebrated my anniversary this week alone.

P.S. -- GOOD VIBES to Mygetaway.
P.S.S. -- Hang in there, Sage -- from what I can see, you're doing great!

1. Today is election day. We have a runoff in the governor's race. We will either elect our first woman governor or the nation's first Indian-American governor.
2. Today I plan on cleaning out closets and working in the back yard.
3. I hope I don't poop out and not finish. I hate it when I waste a Saturday doing nothing in the house.
4. I'm trying to learn to spend weekends doing stuff in the house rather than working all weekend. Since I work at home, I tend to gravitate to paperwork and end up working all day.
5. I'm transitioning out of one of my jobs to go full-time into the other one and it's exciting to be letting one of them go. I realized I can't do both of them and it was taking its toll on me mentally and physically.
6. One of the jobs I have been doing since 1996 and I have been doing the other one for a year. They contracted me one year ago today!
7. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

1. I have been saying I was going to start posting in this thread again. I love reading everyones facts.

2. I hope I have 8 facts. Well, I know I have 8 just hope they aren't boring.

3. I did finally follow the suggestions of some folks from the BB thread and posted a profile.

4. The house we are building that is in the profile is almost finished. Sod will be there this week.

5. I have to start on the garden. I bought a fountain for it (I love the sound of water) and some day lilies.

6. Not sure where I will plant the lilies. I bought the bulbs 2 weeks ago at the Peter Anderson Festival. They are registered bulbs. Registered where or why I have no idea.

7. The bulbs are in a bucket of water they aren't looking to good right now.

8. I gave DS Juns e-mail addy she posted in the BB section. He wrote her and she responded back right away with a nice e-mail. He was a big Jun fan and it thrilled him to get an e-mail from her.

welcome back to the thread, biloxibelle!

1. i tried off and on for 2 hours last night to get into chat with no success. :(

2. i bought the new pink cd at walmart for $9.84.

3. it came with a bonus dvd...too bad i am one of the few remaining people to not have a dvd player.

4. the only bad thing about it, is that the cd is edited. walmart doesn't sell any explicit lyric content.

5. for the low price though, i will deal with it. it's pretty obvious which words are silenced out.

6. i bought a dress for my hs reunion at marshall's for $30 the other night.

7. it's a black jones new york dress. the original tag said $144. i love clearance sales!

8. i hate to say it, but i look HOT in the dress, if i do say so myself. LOL

9. normally i wouldn't make a statement like that, but i am very proud of the dress.


ps. to everyone who is going through tough times right now, thanks for sharing with us. i know i am thinking of all of you. and sage, good for you! you go girl!

pps. hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

1. I had the best date with #1 last night.

2. I went to his service award banquet for the company he works for.

3. The wine was good and the food even better. It was all paid for by the company.

4. I shopped all day yesterday and ended up with a slinky black dress from Dillard's that looked more like a lingerie slip than a dress.

5. #1 loved the dress

6. I thought I looked pretty good.

7. #1 didn't look too shabby in a suit at all. In fact, he looked yummy.

8. Our fifth date has now come to a close and I'm going out with #2 tonight.

9. First, though, I need a small hangover remedy.

10. I didn't drink nearly enough water last night before going to sleep.

1. Spy should drink plenty of water today, plus a couple of glasses of V-8. Then go out and have a big greasy hamburger or some Mexican food.

1. My upper arms are a little sore from heaving boxes and furniture around while cleaning.
2. Good thing I got it all done, because I have to have the house checked by the fire inspector soon.
3. I always suspected Sage had all the power she needed within her. I am very proud of her new stamina and reliance on God.
4. Texannie has monsoons? Where are ours?

1. I'm wondering about this: Spygirl wrote at 9:02 am "Our fifth date has NOW come to a close...." hhmmmmm, LOL

2. I ended up working today. A project came in through email and I decided to go ahead and do it.

3. So I haven't cleaned out my closet or started in the back yard yet.

4. I'll probably end up watching tv the rest of the day.

5. Maybe I'll go rent some dvds and make it a movie night!!!

1. I am so sleepy today.
2. It was a frog strangler, Grace..not long, but hard!
3. DH wants to go out for pizza tonite. I would rather have seafood.
4. DS loved paintball, but accidentally took a jacket that another boy left here last week.
5. That jacket is now covered in paint.
6. I've got it in the wash now, hope it all comes out!!

1. Hubby was almost a widower today.

2. I was in the process of doing laundry, hanging up an item I had just taken from the dryer.

3. It is dark in the dryer with no light bulb in there.

4. Reached in to get out another item to fold.

5. Felt something warm and fuzzy and MOVING when it should have been something warm and still.

6. Dang curious little black kitten had hopped inside and nearly caused my heart to stop!

7. Taking some time to recover...the rest of the laundry can darn well wait until I do!

1. I woke up with the headache from hell this morning.

2. It finally went away so we went to the movies.

3. We saw the Russell Crowe movie "Master and Commander".

4. It was okay but very very long.

5. Walking around the mall seeing all the Christmas crap depressed me.

6. I seriously hate the holidays more and more with each passing year.

7. I did take the time to vote for governor today.

8. Gosh...I'm such a downer today. Bah humbug!!
