I absolutely love this thread lol - starts my day of with a huge smile on my face :) You (20) voters seem to have taken over this thread - but hey that's totally fine with me!!!

Fany - on your next list confess - do you clean UP before the cleaning lady gets there?

Avery - great to see you back!

I have no advice as to the current 'rules' - I'll step in and set some if I think it gets simply TOO confusing the way you guys count now...rflmao.

3. I've had about 12 hours sleep in the last 4 days.
4. My dogs went on this trip and were wonderful.

6. I travel again to Texas for Thanksgiving in about 55 hours.
7. Somewhere in there I have to work 16 hours and possibly sleep all the remaining hours.
8. I have lost so much weight, some of my family didn't recognize me.

10. By next Monday, I will have driven about 2195 miles in 12 days, all of it with 3 dogs in the car.
11. I will post some pictures from the wedding sometime.
12. I was a bridesmaid in the wedding.
13. I haven't bathed since yesterday afternoon before the wedding.
14. A cousin got mad at me at the wedding reception and probably won't speak to me until Christmas.
15. I wasn't at fault but apologized anyway.
16. Two cousins witnessed the exchange and were furious at her for trying to ruin my brother's reception and acting like an idiot.
17. I met a friend of my brother's at the wedding that I am very interested in.
18. He lives in my hometown, but we had never met before.
19. We estimated that my brother and s-i-l probably walked out of their reception with about $1500 in cash from gifts.
20. They are likely going to spend every penny of it on their honeymoon.
21. My parents spent about $3500 on their portion of the wedding.
22. I believe that weddings are expensive.

lol at suitsme fine! You are a hoot! I love this thread...it is the first thing I check when I log on. Here is some more from me.

1. I once got kicked out of an Adult book store...(I didn't know what an adult book store was).

2. As a child one of the funniest things I ever saw was my Grandmother in blue jeans. Grandmothers did not wear blue jeans in those days. We were going blueberry picking so she borrowed a pair of Grandpa's. (She did not appreciate my amusement).

3. Last summer I was reunited with a good friend that I hadn't seen in nearly 30 years. We picked right up from where we left off.

4. My favorite city of all time was San Diego, until I saw Toronto.

5. The city that I have never visited, but I would like to visit the most is Vancouver.

1. When I was a teenager, I thought I could take on the world; as I've gotten (much) older, I'm content to tackle my little corner and leave the rest of the world alone.
2. When I was young I dreamed that I'd edit and publish English textbooks which would make English understandable and enjoyable for students at the point when they first begin studying English formally in school. Since I'm older, I am astonished to realize how little progress I've made towards that goal. Now I feel it's too late to achieve that goal.
3. I CAN be totally organized (I was when I worked outside the home!) and efficient; now that I stay at home, I'm more scattered and have difficulty seeing projects through to the end.
4. My husband and I argue with each other because we're very good at it; he thinks he's good enough at reasoning to outwit me, but he's not, and he has admitted that I've proven this to him over and over. It really is amusing listening to his excuses; he's a laugh a minute!
5. My children mean more to me than anything else in the world. My 17-year-old cat and my parents are next on the list.
6. My mother-in-law told me shortly after I married her son that I was not to call her "Mom," as she "is not my mother." She was quite pointed about this. It hurt my feelings.

Sia: if I were you, I'd spend the rest of your mother-in-law's natural life calling her "Hey You" and sign cards to her that way, too - at least if you thought her remark was with the sole intent of being rude and distancing you from her. Maybe her point was to recognize your own mom as the one who should be solely entitled to receive that honorarium, just as Mother-In-Law would dislike her son calling your mother "Mom." I don't know, but her handling of the situation certainly could have been more gracious and understanding of the fact that you were trying to bring her closer.

5) I wish there were a mind altering drug that was not bad for you - could use one right now lol.
6) I hate winter time - hate with a passion that it's getting dark at 4:00 - depressing.

Thanks, Goddessatlaw; no, m-i-l was just being mean. She said it in a very tight, hateful tone of voice, scornfully, actually. I have not even WANTED to call her that since. You know, come to think of it, I address her as "Grandma," since she is the grandmother of my two children. I even write "Grandma" on her gift tags and cards. I address envelopes to her with her given name.
