1. shakira's voice gets on my nerves.

2. justin timberlake's SONGS get on my nerves.

3. they aren't playing very good music on the radio tonight.

4. i am not ill, i just had a hangover yesterday, in case that was misunderstood. :)

5. i wish i had a live-in maid. my apartment is a wreck because i HATE cleaning!

6. i have decided that next year i am getting my picture taken with the cat, and getting it made into christmas cards to send out....lol...a couple of my friends did this with their families this year. i think my idea is just obnoxious enough to make people laugh.

7. i am so glad that i have the next 2 days off work!

8. i am down to just one truffle being left from my christmas candy. :(

9. i think if i were sukii, i would take that vaccum cleaner, throw it outside and run over it with my vehicle several times. (did i mention that i don't like to clean?)

10. i am glad we kept going past 1000 posts. this is my favorite thread...i have read every post, too.

11. i love the new "hair thread too.

12. i wish reruns would go away. i miss watching my shows.

13. i watched "the sound of music" on tv last night. this makes about the 20th time i had seen it. i love that movie...the hills are alive.....lol

14. i wish that i was a better singer...i LOVE to sing, but my voice is only "ok".

15. i watched VH1 driven about kelly clarkson on christmas eve, and now i am even more glad that she won AI. she is one sweet kid, who has had a less-than-perfect life. the right person was definitely chosen.

16. i made potato soup for dinner tonight...it was SO good!

1. Hubby has tonight off (rare)
2. We'll spend the evening watching DVDs with son and drinking pop
3. I'm voting for a Mummy & Lethal Weapon marathon
4. I don't drink alcohol - don't know why, I just don't
5. I haven't had a hangover in almost 20 yrs because of it
6. Bet I could get bombed with just one drink lol
7. The satellite guy just left again. The dish only cost us $150 to buy two years ago and we've spent over $500 in repairs. &^#$@ crooks!
8. They're still not sure it's fixed but hubby was here to handle them this time. If this repair doesn't work we're going to be refunded. (Sometimes that look of his he gets when he's annoyed really comes in handy).
9. I went to the after Christmas sale to stock up on outdoor lights for next year and found out that none of the stores in our area discount them. They boxed them up Boxing Day to sell next year
10. I can't believe that the stores put out Valentines Day stuff on Dec 27th
11. Me and Valentines Day have NEVER seen eye-to-eye
12. Christmas is another whole year away :(
13. We had a fartin' brown Christmas this year
14. Christmas just doesn't seem like Christmas without snow
15. Three days later I got caught in a sudden snow thing unprepared. Now it's white outside and I feel like Christmas singing "it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas"
16. I'm supposed to be doing the budgeting right now
17. Just got caught goofing off so I'd better go :)

1. My house is FINALLY warm!

2. I applied for tenure today. I had to slide it under the President's door, as the office was locked. SHEESH!

3. I felt very ambivilant about this application.

4. I applied for a job at a MAJOR university in the Chicago area. I usually HATE sending out job applications and have a knot in my throat at the post office.

5. I felt REALLY good about sending off this application. I STILL feel really good about it, two hours later.

6. Well, shoot, maybe I'll spend tonight applying for MORE jobs!

7. Today is my Dad's birthday.

8. I'm going to test out my George Foreman grill tonight.

9. I will be in chat tonight, while I sip on either wine OR sparkling grape juice.

10. I will also be watching the Sex and the City marathon on HBO.

11. I am most like Miranda, of all the characters on Sex and the City.

12. I am going to start eating healthier this next year.

13. I am also going to exercise a little more....small steps.

14. I started exercising a little today by walking to the tax collector's house to pay my property taxes.

15. Nothing like doing things at the last minute! Everything I did today had a "do or die" deadline on it.

16. I saw one of my friends today walking her dog past my house. Since I had such a rough semester, I had hardly seen her.

17. She has a big belly! Her baby boy is due in March! It was so much fun to chat with her on my porch.

18. I am actually really looking forward to staying at home tonight!

PS...Lyn, I don't see eye to eye with Valentines Day, either....I just call it "VD" LOL

1. The other half and me and our puppy friend are staying in tonight.
2. I just finished my work for 2002 - Thank God(dess)!
3. I can truly say that many people on this board have helped turn the worst time in my life into one of the funnest.
4. I wish that everyone who touches base inside of TVCH has the biggest and joyous smiles of their lives surface in 2003.
5. I have salmon and hamburgers planned on the menu with old-school baked macaroni and cheese, broccoli and veggies and salads and ice cream and at least 20 different types of goodies.
6. Everyone is napping in my home except me.
7. I have hope for the world's future.
8. I have hope for my future.
9. I believe that enlightenment is only a blink away for the world at large (or at least those who deserve it).
10. I believe that it is important to believe in yourself and insist upon being yourself.
11. I believe that art can be eternal, but it doesn't necessarily make it any more important or valuable due to its length of importance.
12. I believe that art is a means to an end and if used properly can set you free.
13. I believe that free is an almost sketchy word.
14. The streets in front of my house (Manhattan) are buzzing, and most of the faces have optimism showing, not like last year where it was very awkward with a lot of out-of-towners running around and the locals sort of hiding.
15. I really wish that the world's destruction through negativity could be rebalanced.
16. I am jealous of Schoolmarm cause she is eligible for tenure, but I am hoping that she will get it cause she is so interestingly cool.
17. I have to say it again - I am so glad that the year 2002 will end soon and believe that the numerical/planetary makeup of it was the pits.
18. 23 is my all time fav number because it is the month and year (02/03) of my appearance on Earth this time around; and when you add the numbers in the year of my birth up, they also add to 23; and there are actually 23 major arcana cards in the tarot, cause they start with zero; and it's my favorite number since I was a kid with only one digit in my age.
19. ok, Happy 2003 Yeah!

1. I have posters stage fright
2. I have been in just about everyone's folders to leave them a message, but in the end I delete what I'm saying. (Guess I'm just a chicken at heart). For those who's folders I have posted in, I've erased two sentences for every one I leave in my picture
3. My New Years Resolution this year is to stop this behavior and just talk to everyone

1. DH and I had some wine (I had only one glass) at midnight, and he hasn't crabbed at me for being on the 'net tonight.
2. I don't make resolutions any more, really.
3. I've been working at getting better organized at home; I've had a good start in the past month or two by ruthlessly giving or throwing away things.
4. I have to find a reliable medical doctor. There must be answers for what's going on with me.
5. Okay, if I must make a resolution, here it is: I will succumb to pressure and see another surgeon for a second opinion.

1. I wish every one of the clubhouse members, whether they post or not, the best of times in the new year.
2. I hope that people like Lyn will see that we are all easy to chat with and that they will just jot a line or two to break the "ice"
3. I wish my new friend ChickInDixie would write to me again
4. I am getting paranoid because there have been break-ins in the neighborhood recently and my neighbor's motion detection lights are on
5. I should go to bed but am wide awake
6. I have had to edit twice because I seem to be suffering with dyslexia today and I didn't know I had it!

1. Well, we went and saw The Two Towers today.
2. It was pretty good.
3. I cringe at all the fighting scenes now, I never did before.
4. I don't want to wait a whole year to see the next installment.
5. Lyn... I do the same thing everyday. I constantly compose and then trash my posts.
6. I always wonder why other people can post so much more than me. I'm sure it's because they don't overthink their posts, and rewrite them 5 dozen times, and then delete them..LOL
7. My dogs are getting freaked because people are starting to light off the big fireworks..

1. I got up and took Dakota to school.....with a major headache.
2. I came home and got back in bed and went to sleep.
3. I woke up at 1pm and panicked since Dakota should have been picked up at 12.
4. Luckily, Darren was home and went to get her....I was really out of it.
5. We sat on the couch with pillows and blankets all day and watched the TAR and Survivor season finale.
6. Darren got tired, and went to bed at 10 something.
7. So, I'm in chat to bring in the new year.
8. Tomorrow I will clean my butt off since I didn't do anything at all today and still have to take all the Christmas decorations down.

2. I just did a "mud mask" and my skin feels great!

3. I can't believe that I'm going to meet Twinkie and her hubby tomorrow!

4. We have an awesome road trip planned.

5. Very few of my real life friends or colleagues know about tvch...they think that I watch entirely TOO much tv, and they think that I'm nuts for going on trips to meet "internet" friends.

6. Well, they may be right about me being a little nuts!

7. Did I tell y'all that I have a wicked sense of humor?

8. It developed when I was an organ major in college and I had to tolerate all kinds of organ jokes.

9. I ate really healthy foods today!

10. I really liked the way that my steaks turned out on the George Foreman grill! Very fast, tasty and WOW what a lot of fat dripped off into the drip pan.

1. My Mom is awesome too!
2. I say post, if it's misunderstood, you can easily discuss it further, because the folks in here are intelligent and witty and compassionate and darn right good people to be yourself around.
3. I edit my posts after they are posted, and it leaves something like eight minutes for revisions, but have hit delete to hundreds of words many times.
4. I'm a bit concerned because I am seeing the first signs of a loss of short-term memory.
5. I am aware that it could be a side effect of yucky medical stuff.
6. I will call my doc and have something readjusted, because I must be cognitive right now.
7. I bounced up and down and shook my hair with my fist in the air and sang with Jack Black and the Foo Fighters at midnight while they sang Back in Black down at Times Square.
8. I watched via tv with my perfect other half who snuggles perfectly.
9. I am sure that war is inevitable.
10. I know that there is evil in this world whose prime directive is to destroy what I call home.
11. I believe it can no longer be tolerated, because atrocities anywhere hurt all of our consciousness and our consciousness as a whole has expanded to the place where we can envision the Earth as a whole and we do think more with our hearts.
12. I want to say God Bless and God Speed to our brave children who step up to be our protectors.
13. I saw Scoresse's "Gangs of New York".
14. I assume that racism comes from insecurity.
