1. I am furious right now, but not so sure if I should share why here... 2. Lets just say that I was really hoping 2004 might be a better year for DH and I.... 3. And yet here I am,alone, wondering why people call love a rollercoaster ride when it seems more like that Superman ride where you just fall and fall and fall........

1. {{{Silly}}} Hope tomorrow looks up some for you. 2. Sis and bil just picked the baby up. They and my older neice had a blast at that Disney on Ice show. The baby was an angel the whole time she was here and slept most of the evening. 3. Gracie and Jewels need to come talk to my kids, lol. They think I'm mean mommy today because I made them do chores (gasp!) It's not like chores is a new thing, they have to do them everyday but it's always the same thing. Then when they're done and we sit and read a book together or play a game, they think I'm cool again. 4. I love being an aunt and being able to spend time with my neices and nephews. I enjoy being close to them, and having them excited to spend time with me or how they can't wait to tell me something exciting. It's so much fun, especially since they don't have to like me. I really can't imagine what it'd be like without them in my life.

1. We had a "girls night out" last night. Three of us went to Green Bay to have dinner and go out for awhile. 2. We figured we'd go to Stadium View (a block from Lambeau Field) so we could watch all the people in town for the game. It was PACKED, but we got seats relatively quickly and had a good time. 3. After that, we decided to come back to Appleton and go out on College Ave. The bars were packed though and it was too cold to wait in line to get in any bar. Believe me, these bars are not worth it. 4. Halfway through the walk we popped into the Paper Valley Hotel to use the bathroom (and see if we's see any Seahawks- it's the hotel visiting teams always stay in- no idea why they don't stay in Green Bay. no luck, I don't think. It was late- they probably had a curfew.) and we bumped into my cousin's, as she referred to herself, "vet girl". "Vet Girl" gave my cousin a huge hug and told her how much she loves her dog. My cousin has a very cute dog. I'll have to post a picture sometime. Anyway, "Vet Girl" was pretty drunk. 5. We didn't end up going out at all in Appleton. No loss- the bars here are really young and clique-y and make me wonder what these people are thinking in 10 degree weather with no coat and skimpy wittle outfits. All bars should just have a coat check. I was all bundled but still cold.

1. Well, I survived all of the "firsts" this year..been an emotional roller coaster. 2. Got some kind of stomach bug on December 30th, finally feeling human again. (didn't get to wear my new New Year's Eve outfit) 3. Started taking down the Christmas stuff yesterday. 4. Got to a point where I needed dh's help, but he was taking a nap. 5. So I re-arranged the furniture in the den instead! LOL 6. None of us could sleep last night, kids' tummies were upset (hope it's not the start of what I had). Everyone finally fell asleep around 2 AM..I woke up at 7..too early.

1. Yesterday dd and I spent the whole afternoon at the mall. 2. We had a nice time going in and out of different stores and shops. 3. We had lunch together and did lots of "girl" talk. It's always a special moment for me when my dd and I can spend private time together, just talking about life. 4. It's time like these that I hope I say the right things...not just things I think she wants to hear but things that will make her think and ponder. 5. This morning Egbob and ds#2 went up to the local mountains. DS#2 will be trying out his new Snowboard and Egbob will ski. Both will come home tonight with sore muscles. 6. I plan on going into work today and putting in a few hours so that tomorrow won't be so bad. 7. I haven't finished reading Cold Mountain yet but I'm thinking that I'll go take in the movie anyway, after putting in a few hours at my office. 7.5 Have a great Sunday everyone!

1. I have not read any New Messages or post's besides Tess Updates since probably New Years.. 2. I am super addicted (again) to Keno at slingo.com, and can't stop long enough to read all about my wonderful friends here... ...lol 3. The "Houseguets" are sleeping elsewhere as of last Friday evening. 4. The Dad, actually (sorry Weiner..lol) had the nerve to bring home guests without even asking us if we minded. (This was New Years Day, and one of the people was not very "nice" looking, ie crack head, from what I heard.. I had my door shut by that time.) 5. I said something to DH, he said something to her, and the next day they moved out their bed w/out a word to us about what was going on. 6. Now we just need for them to get their shit out of here. It's everywhere!! (And change the locks..) 7. Anyways.. this is the last time I think I will open my home to someone in need. We've done it once before with DH's best friend and he ended up burning us too. (Think a litter of 9 chow-chows when we already had 2 dogs in the house) 8. Hopefully when things calm down, I won't need such a distraction for my brain (keno), and I can come back here and get all caught up. Ya know, I never have asked to be adopted, cuz I always thought I was on the "fringe", but maybe I should wander over there when I get back and see who's crazy enough to adopt me..lol {{Hugs and good wishes to all..}}

1. Congratulations to Twinkie and your daughter. I pray that everything goes well! One of the best things in life is being a Grandma! 2. My grand kids spent the night with me last night. We all slept in the same bed. Otherwise, one of them gets up in the middle of the night and wakes me up. Noah wakes up this morning and says the "The Sun is out. Time to get up!" 3. We went to see "Cheaper by the Dozen" last night. Great movie. 4. I took the Christmas decorations down today and the house looks bare. 5. The kids and I made peanut butter cookies today. They fell apart, but they still ate them. 6. Hubby is in Orlando and staying with my Son until Wednesday. He is doing a show down there. 7. Friday night, Christi and I and the kids went to Celebrate Recovery at church. Afterwards, we went to Barnes and Nobles and stayed until they closed the doors. 8. Christi's husband went to Orlando to the show, too. We are taking advantage of it and staying out late and having a great time. 9. I dread Mondays as it is our busiest day and we will be short of help.

1. Do I really have to do 10 facts since, Reader and Knightpatti both did 9? 2. I didn't have an exciting weekend at all. In fact it was pretty boring. 3. Friday night I watched Chicago. It was okay but I don't care for musicals that much so I got bored with it before it was over. 4. Saturday night I finished a puzzle that I had been working on. My son's friend hid a piece from me so he could put the last piece in. Little Brat. 5. Today we went to Azriel's house. We played Catch Phrase. 6. It is the most addicting game ever. We all kept saying one more time. 7. We had to come home early because school starts back tomorrow. 8. I am probably one of the few Mom's who never wants vacations to end. 9. We didn't get to do all the things that we wanted to do. Boo on school!! 10. Azriel goes back to Singapore Thursday. The month has flown by. I'm gonna miss her.

1. I need to buy cups and glasses. I have 2 coffee cups and one glass right now. I have no idea what happened to my collection of Del Taco, McDonalds, and Burger King cups. Went and checked Wal Mart tonight and all they had was the real glass ones, which I can't have because I'm clumsy and would hurt myself with them.

1. Knightpatti, I'm so jealous of your hubby being in Orlando. I'm so homesick!! 2. Many TVCHers know most of my facts but I'll post a few that some don't know. At age 13 I played with the Florida Symphony. At age 15 I played piano and sang in a gospel quartet. All of my childhood was spent either in church or in music lessons. 3. It didn't hurt me one bit. I complained a lot about the church thing but never complained about the hours spent practicing. It never occured to me that other kids were outside playing while I was practicing. It was my fun time.

1. Ack, Texannie! Hope you get to feeling better. 2. Kids are so excited to go back to school, they're running through the house screaching! 3. Kota's already dressed and running around with her backpack even though she won't leave for another four hours, LOL.

1. Well, we hit a record low of -17 F last night and I was worried they would cancel school. We also have about 5-6 inches of snow on the ground so we're quite Frozen! 2. School is only delayed two hours so kids are still home....aaarrrggghhh, it's been a long holiday time off! 3. I'm ready for some peace and quiet. 4. No, I haven't even begun to clean up the Christmas decorations yet. Maybe this week; maybe next weekend. No rush. 5. The outside lights are all buried in inches and inches of snow anyway so I guess they'll be up for a while longer - and on, I might add. 6. The fog last night froze on all the trees and it is truly beautiful on the branches. 7. We are fortunate as others in our area are also without power - which means, NO HEAT. Yikes! I feel lucky to be able to hear the pennies add up on my utility bill for the heat!

1. first day back at work wasn't TOO bad. 2. getting up at 6 was, though. since i slept til at least 9 every day that i was off. 3. it is flippin' COLD here. we got up to a balmy 22F degrees today. i think it is 8 out now, with wind making it feel in the negatives. also snow flurries. 4. on saturday it was mid-70's weather here. i am glad it is colder, at least now i can wear my new sweaters i got on clearance after christmas. 5. my new haircut that i got on saturday that i was pretty upset about, is growing on me. (no pun intended). i kind of like it now. 6. i have had chili for 3 meals in the last 24 hours. it is really doing a number on my stomach. 7. glad some tv shows are coming back from reruns this week, also some reality shows coming back...average joe tonight. should be good. 8. i can't imagine being in -17 F degrees and not having heat. what do you do in a situation like that? makes me cold just thinking about it!

1. It is freezing in Vancouver right now, too. Not freezing freezing, but definitely freezing for Vancouver. I'm talking -10C high during the day. 2. I'm in LA today, which is nice and warm and sunny. Ahhh. Nice. 3. Tomorrow I will be meeting one of my personal heroes (Dr. Jane Goodall), so I am very very very very excited. 4. This week I will also be meeting several folks, including Goran Visnic (sp) from ER, which is also kool cause I think he's cute 5. I will miss the ER episode on Thursday, but I'm asking my partner to tape it -- and I hope he doesn't forget!! 6. In the last 5 airplane trips I took, every single one was delayed at least an hour. 7. The new policy of fingerprinting/photographing everyone entering the U.S. on a visa made the U.S. Customs lineup at Vancouver airport his morning absolutely nuts. Every plane had to be delayed because only about 1/4 of the passengers for each flight had made it through the Customs line for the original departure time. What a zoo. 8. I need to leave for dinner in 20 minutes. I guess I'd better get off the computer and get ready!

1. LOL, Texannie's at it again! 1.5 I would probably make a fool of myself in some way if I met Goran Visnic. He is drop dead gorgeous. (Yankee, if he isn't as gorgeous in person, I don't want to know. I won't believe it anyway. ) Jane Goodall is also my former Psych teacher's hero. She is amazing. Say hi to my DD if you run across her, Yankee. She isn't famous yet, but she has been in some backgrounds of other famous peoples' movies, lol.

1. I really hate this weather we're having, it makes going places really difficult, and its just plain too cold. (I live in same town as AuntieMike.) 2. I'm in love! I sure hope this relationship works out and lasts. 3. My step-mom had her gastric-bypass surgery on Friday and the last I heard lastnight, she was doing really well except she had a fever. I sure hope nothing came of that.
