1. I think you should stay home, Spy. Crank up the heater, make some coco, sit next to a window with a blanket, and grab a good book.

2. I have so much laundry to fold and put away I don't think I'll ever be done.

3. Kids are insane this morning. Only word to describe them. Kota is almost completely innocent today. Caleb's been rude, obnoxious, starting fights with her, now he's spending quality time alone.

4. I told this story in chat last night but its too funny not to share on the board. My sister called me yesterday howling in laughter. Seems that my elderly, eccentric aunt has decided this year for Christmas she was going to suprise me and my sister with professional portraits of mom (she hasn't had any done in over 3 years.) She asked my sister if she could take mom over and get them done, but it's a suprise for us girls.

5. At this point I was giggling, but still couldn't understand why sis was in tears laughing. Until she told me aunt wants mom to be suprised too. Sis is hollering at this point and says, "Can you imagine what mom would say if I took her to the portrait studio and told her suprise! you're getting your pictures done? Without giving her warning so she could put on make up, get her hair done, or dressed up?" I can imagine what mom would say, but I can't repeat it here, LOL.

1. Good morning everyone- today is going to be another busy dy in Kaili-land.

2. No subbing today, but I'm going to be a driver helper through UPS so today I get to wear the little brown outfit and ride around with a driver to deliver stuff.

3. The pants I have are too big for me. They didn't have any mens pants small enough for me, and the women's are horrid in general. The hips are sooo much bigger than the waist. The pair I have is waist 29 and hips 42 so basically they just balloon out and are pleated. Not a fan of pleats. Oh yeah, and they're too long.

4. So much for the 4-7 inches of snow we were supposed to get last night. It's still raining.

5. I can't believe how few facts people have posted since yesterday!

6. There are a few folders that I need to get around to but I've been busy. If those people happen to pop in here today: Jbean- I'll be writing you just as soon as I have a few free minutes!!! Hope all is good! Stilllurking- I have not forgotten the Christmas thing and I have actually done it but just not posted in that exchange thread yet and Patichou- I'll get back to you too but really, anything that makes you feel good will be fine with me. I'm easy to please :)

1. I'm off today and have aspirations to get my Christmas wrapping done (at least mostly), five loads of laundry washed, folded and put away, AND bake some cookies.

2. So far I've started two loads of laundry and got my wrapping supplies together.

3. Now I'm stuck in TVCH-land.

4. Went out to dinner last night with my BF's best friend and his GF.

5. Nice dinner, but I don't really care for the GF, she's too high maintenence and all she ever talks about are her $500 Burberry, Prada, Gucci, and Fendi handbags - not my thing in the least!

6. And I thought my $75 Nine West handbag was high class (not to mention expensive), geez!

7. But my BF wants us all to do more things together, so because I love him I will suffer through dinners, movies, or whatever else we do with them. What people do for love...

1. I got my hair cut today.

2. I look pretty hot, even if I say so myself.

3. I've been listening alot lately to Kenny Chesney's Christmas cd "All I want for Christmas is a real good Tan."

4. Not very traditional music but hey I like it.

5. I have all my son's main presents ordered. He is gonna be totally suprised by the portable DVD player he is getting.

6. Now all I have to do is get some stocking stuffers.

7. Since I don't buy for my family anymore, most of my shopping is done.

8. I have a few friends to buy for and that will be fun.

9. Helping my 6th grader with his homework the other night was tough.

10. I swear the stuff he was doing, we didn't do till 8th or 9th grade. Soon I will be no help at all. I have forgotten so much!!

1. I trimmed down my preferences to a few folders and am going to start using the new message feature again. I think I spend too much time wading through things I've already read and then end up missing stuff on top of it. Hopefully I'll get more done now..lol

1. Great idea MGA. Reading Tess' Tales is a big help too.
2. I bought an armload of books today, because reading is so important to me, and I want to share the joy of books as presents to my loved ones.

1. Somebody slap me next time I drink a cup of coffee at 2 in the afternoon.
2. Took me awhile to figure out why I was wide awake at 1:30 AM this morning. Then I remembered my cup of coffee.
3. At least I'm getting some work done in the wee hours of the morning. That way when I'm bone tired and in need of a nap this afternoon, I won't feel guilty.

1.Ddr, I did the same exact thing! Had a cup of caffeine at 3:30 pm and here I am... WIDE AWAKE!!! Dang!
2. I drank it at a car dealer as we were looking for a new car!
3. We got a great deal on a new Ford Explorer Limited, in the color and all the options I wanted.
4. When I finally gave up on sleep and got out of bed it was FREEZING in the house! The furnace apparently decided to break down... so now what? New car~ New furnace??? CRAP!!
p.s. Also, its the coldest day of the freaking year!!

1. I worked for over 14 hours yesterday. And this was after being in the office until 1 in the morning the day before...I'm pooped! Today should be a little better, but I still go from 9-7:30.

2. I am looking forward to Friday...Christmas luncheon, Christmas/end of the semester celebration meeting, and a faculty Christmas party.

3. Thank goodness I played easy music (all by women) on my recital yesterday. It went really well even though my brain was fried.

4. Professors hate finals week as much as students do. I just trade one pile of grading for another.

5. Thank goodness it is above freezing or I would be buried under many feet of snow. We had so much rain in the last 24 hours that we have NO more snow, and there is severe flooding a little south of us.

BONUS: Have I mentioned that Reiki and I are going to NYC on the 19th and 20th? We are hoping to meet with Ginger and Yankee-in-Ca and anyone else who is there.

1. My Dad is coming to visit today. Usually he just shows up for an hour or so and takes us out to dinner, but he's staying the night this time.

2. I can only converse with him for about 45 minutes before we run out of safe topics, so I'm a little anxious.

3. I'm going to have to tape Survivor because I don't want to hear any of his opinion about it.

4. I got my hair cut on Monday, shorter than it's EVER been. I guess I didn't do a good job explaining to the stylist how I wanted it.

5. I hated it when I got home, thought I looked like a 1930's farm wife who hacked off her hair to sell for money to buy food.

6. 2 days and a lot of mousse later, I think I like it and maybe will keep it this short.

1. Today is class day - I'm not nearly ready yet. Good thing class doesn't start until 5!

2. I am expanding my Mary Kay business. I've added three new customers in last 3 days! Yay!

3. If anyone is interested in Mary Kay, email me! (email in profile). I have a website and you can shop online ~ free shipping.

4. I've decided against the surgery until I get out of debt - all but student loans. That's a big decision for me, but I feel good about it.

5. I'm trying to invent ways to earn extra money these days to hurry up the process.

6. That's why I'm focusing on Mary Kay. Did I mention I ship to you for free?

7. The whole dating scene is a pain in the butt. Things with #1 are not going so great, but I'm just going with the flow. Whatever happens - happens!

1. One year ago two days from now I installed internet metering software.

2. Since then I have downloaded 81 Gb of stuff.

3. I have also uploaded 29 Gb of stuff.

4. That is 110 Gb total.

5. On a dial up connection, that would take about 218 days non-stop.

6. My logs show I've not missed a single day.

7. My slowest day was 10Mb down, and 1.7Mb up.

8. My busiest day was 2.5Gb down, and 910Mb up.

9. An average day is 234 Mb down, and 86Mb up.

10. My inner geek is pleased to know this stuff.

11. I think this is my first fact post.

1. Hmmm...how many to do?

2. I liked Crossfire's first fact post.

3. I wonder if anyone should let him know that he did 3 more trhan he needed to do :)

4. I just got home from another driver helper session.

5. I went to Gander Mountain and bought new shoes just for it because my old ones are no longer waterproof and my other ones are just too big to be wearing while doing that.

6. It's cold. Real cold. My locks on my car keep freezing.

7. Not sure if I posted this here or not- one of the loaders at UPS died on his way to work last night in a car accident. It was very icy and slippery yesterday.

8. I don't know him- never met him- but I think it's awful because on my way to work last night I was driving faster because I was running late, then I thought Who cares if I'm late- it's not worth risking my life for. Too bad other people don't think the same way. People drive waaaay too fast for conditions all the time.

9. OOps- i forgot to do a number 9. Here it is. A fact about me. I love artichokes with hollindaise sauce. I can't spell it, but you know what I'm saying!

1. I'm not sure where we are number wise..lol

2. {{Spy}} Hey, maybe we could turn you in for a mini-makeover, since you obviously don't need an extreme makeover!! (This is a definite compliment just so there is no mistaking it..) :)

3. Glad it's just a fuel issue RG.. Although that can be a little pricey too depending on the size of your tank.

4. I have no clue what most of your post meant Crossfire, but yey!! LOL

5. How does one cup of coffee in the afternoon last until the wee hours of the morning? Yikes.

6. DH has been on a "spree" of sorts. First he finished the bathroom door. Now he's building onto an existing DVD shelf adding a door and shelves that swing open on rollers.

7. My son thinks he's moving out the day he turns 18. (April 15) He already has a car payment, insurance, cell phone and blockbuster game pass. He's still in school. He has NO CLUE. One day he will.

8. I wish I could comment more than I do on a lot of the posts around here, but it takes me forever to respond these days. So... I may not say it, but I read it and think about you guys!

**edit** 9. See it took me so long to post, Kaili beat me to it! LOL

10. Yey Kaili about your jobs and Yey for Reader's job too.
There!

1. I must be immune to caffeine because I can drink a pot in morning and then lie down a couple of hours later and nap.

1. i am going to be a fact-hog today, because it's been an interesting week.

2. i don't like to be cold.

3. we got all the snow crud stuff here yesterday....7 inches to be exact, and i agree with kalli, people drive way too fast for these conditions....i had a semi riding my tail all the way to work on the interstate.

4. i was only going 30mph, but i figured he could either hit me or pass me, going faster was dangerous.

5. yesterday afternoon i made an ass of myself...on the radio nonetheless.

6. i had to SING part of john michael montgomery's "sold" correctly, and won free tickets to see buddy jewell in concert tomorrow night and a free papa john's pizza.

7. have i ever mentioned that i don't sing very well?

8. my friend that's going with me to the concert mocked and made fun of me for the things i said on the air....and some other people at work were listening too...at her desk....making fun of my singing! grrrrrrr. it was pretty humiliating.

9. she said "our" next mission was to get buddy's autograph on his cd that she bought her dad for christmas. i told her that i wasn't going to make an ass out of myself again, she was on her own with that.

10. we are unfortunately expecting MORE FREAKIN' SNOW tomorrow night...not good especially considering cocktails are going to be consumed at the concert. may be taking a cab ride home.


ps. sorry for being a fact-hog....but i still didn't get everything that's happened in (even with 10)...sigh oh well.

1. I have decided that I'm going to turn lemons into lemonade. When we finally have to leave our home and move into the 2 apts I am going to turn them into awesome places to live.
2. I'm going to paint and put in new flooring and put in crown molding and maybe chair railing in some of the rooms.

I will take before and after pics. I think this is going to be a great opportunity to use my creative juices for something other than music. If I flop I know you will all love me anyway. LOL
Um, I hope. LOL

1. It's cold. Real cold. High of 18 today cold. 1 degree right now cold. I'm not even talking windchill here.

2. And I'm driver helpering again today. I wanted to say no- i'm so bad at saying no. I said yes.

3. I went to Gander Mountain and bought some new, warm Columbia boots yesterday before I went. They're warm for -25 degrees so my feet stayed toasty yesterday. My old boots were old and not waterproof anymore. My other boots are just too big to wear with the uniform.

1. I like reading everyone's post too, many make me laugh out loud! Some make me snort too!!

2. I want a pair of Uggg ugly boots to keep my tootsies warm, but at $100, I cant see spending that money on "ME". I'm glad Kaili found something warm!

3. Kady I have the same caffeine exemption. Coming home I drank coffee, coke, and took htose caffeine stay awake pills, promptly went straight up to bed, and slept. Mom kept waking me, covering me with blankets cause she noticed my body shaking... never did that again!!

4. Today is laundry day. Its been 2 weeks. DS is coming home from college with more laundry, but I cannot wait 4 more days to do laundry. *sigh.
