1. I've been in major lurker mode for about a week now, and don't know why I just don't feel like posting anything, and I feel sorta guilty for not interacting with you all. 2. I'm going to be having major surgery on March 16 to repair some herniated organs that have prolapsed. I had a similar procedure 2.5 years ago that didn't hold, so now I have to have a more extensive one this time. Blech.

1. HP, I hope it went better than you think. Keep us posted. Sage, good luck with the surgery. I hope it goes better this time. {{HP and Sage}} 2. Hippy, what can I say? I'm a Clay geek! Actually, I'm a geek, period. And proud of it! 3. I think Meredith from the Bachelorette is just lovely! I wish more people would post in that thread and I hope she finds someone like Trista did.

1. I'm kind of like Sage, in that I haven't been around much lately. (best of luck Sage on your surgery..) So hi everybody and hope things are going good, or getting better. 2. I make sure I at least read the updates, so I have a slight idea of what's going on around here. Just haven't felt much like posting. 3. DH hasn't heard about his job yet, and I'm getting scared. We have no resources this time to help us out. However, there is a job fair this weekend, and they are hiring 500 people. Wish us luck!! 4. War, try looking in an unmarked envelope wherever you keep your bills that are waiting to be mailed, or maybe in your visor, glovebox, or secret compartment in your purse/wallet? I hate when that happens, you practically have to hire a psychic to find the stuff..

1. I just woke up and it's -12 right now. Not -10 as in windchill -12. Just plain old the actual temperature in -12. Oh, and did I mention the wind? Yeah- that's about -34 according to the weather channel. That would be 16-21 mph wind. Have I mentioned that winter SUCKS!? 2. If it stays this cold, I very well may be calling in to work tonight. Where I work, I load packages into a trailer that's pulled up to the building. There's a wood platform that I walk across. We have a heater, but the wind whips through so fast and cold that it doesn't really do any good. It's only bad if it's windy, otherwise it stays about 45 in there. One night last week was windy. I couldn't even grip the boxes. I just stood there all bundled up wanting to cry. 3. I did some rearranging last night...at midnight. I had a TV stand that used to hold my fishtank but now was just sitting in a corner being a phone and plant stand. The TV was on a smaller one. I decided that it should be my TV stand so I had to unplug everything, drag it, and they have now switched places. I love rearranging. 4. I want to go buy something for my plants because two are on old crates that are covered with this cloth thing but they're big plants and the crates are sagging in the middle. I just don't want to go outside. 5. I went to the DMV yesterday to change my address on my license. I also decided to get a new photo since the one on my old one- well, it's 5 years old and I look evil. New picture looks sooo different. It's really weird- Isaw it and I guess I didn't know that I looked like that. Oh, and the best part was that the whole thing took less than 10 minutes. They called my number as it was handed to me. No wait. The only thing I had to wait for was my licese to be made. Yay.

1. I'm slowly getting back to normal. Been taking it easy the last few days, so I feel good. 2. Still haven't found that birth certificate yet, but next week I plan to clean the carpets in the living room, and take all my books off the bookshelf to dust. I'm thinking I'll find it behind one of the books. 3. I need to run ot the store but it's 27 degrees out and too cold for me. 4. I'm such a wimp when it comes to cold. 5. Sis' birthday is next week. They're planning a poker game instead of a party. I'm kind of excited about that. 6. I slept very badly again last night. Three nights now I've taken forever to get to sleep, wake up often, and have very restless sleep while I'm sleeping. I need a nap!

1. A big section of the highway near my house has been closed down for a few hours now. 2. I came home and got a bunch of packets of hand warmers (those self-heating things) to give to the poor cops that looked like they were freezing their butts off standing out there. They have huge parkas on and face masks, but it's sooo cold. 3. When I went to turn around I had my blinker on and was waiting to turn and some kid rear ended me. 4. I have a tough little car- There was just pretty much a tiny plastic chip taken off my bumper. Nothing significant and nothing I really care about. 5. I think the kid was pretty happy that I didn't want to do anything about it. His bumber was smashed up a little bit in the corner, but no real damage. He said it was his fault and everything but I told him to not worry about it. 6. I can't believe Survivor is already starting up in a couple days! I'm excited. 7. Still trying to decide if I should go to work or not tonight. It's cols and I was in a very traumatic car accident today

1. I'm glad your little fender bender wasn't worse than it could have been, Kaili. 2. I'm not in a very good mood today, I'm trying to stay positive and optimistic, but it's a struggle. 3. I heard from my doctor this morning and the blood test for the STD was positive, and it appears it was recently acquired. 4. I'm not sure if "recent" means in the last few months or the last few weeks. I didn't even think to ask her that, or if the test shows that. 5. I know it's not the end of the world, but dammit, I don't need this in my life! 6. I had a massage today, and I really needed it. 7. I went to Value Village yesterday and bought a really nice pair of size 13 jeans! I can't believe I'm wearing a size 13! I haven't worn that size since I was a kid! 8. Today, I went to Goodwill and bought 3 shirts and a comfy lounging dress all for $7.00.

1. This morning while I was driving my car, a little "O/D" light kept blinking on my dashboard. Came back home and called BIL to ask him about it. He said "Oh, that's not good. Sounds like transmission is going out. You need to call dealership." 2. That was a half-xanax moment. But then hope appeared as it is covered under my premium care warranty. Finally something is covered! Nothing else has been. Thank the Lord in heaven, cause I don't have the money right now to pay for extensive car repairs. 3. So brought it in to dealership and a car rental is covered under the warranty too. 4. I am so not a car person. I've been driving a SUV since 1990. 5. Reporters are in town getting coverage on Jake Delhomme, QB for the Panthers. This afternoon, I know for sure New York Times, WB Network and Houston Chronicle are here. More tomorrow. 6. We've decided to have a decorating contest for the parish (that's a county to every other state). We're calling it "Paint the Parish Panther Style". That's going to be fun. 7. Tonight is the Chamber Banquet. 8. Right now, I want to take a nap. Can't. 9. My ex and MIL met with the architect today to draw up house plans.

1. Haven't posted here in a long time. 2. Like Lobster, I am turning 39 in March. 3. Also like Lobster, I am bored with my job. 4. I'll keep it since it pays good. 5. My best freind since highschool had been avoiding all phone calls, so I knew something was wrong. 6. Turns out, she kicked her husband out Sunday. 7. I wish all my best friends could have a dh like mine. 8. My youngest just had her last day of school. 9. I'm very proud of her since she graduated early. 10. I sent her daisys to her school.

1. I bet you'll get hundreds of answers here! 2. I don't wanna go to work. I have to leave in about 5 minutes. Yuck. And it's snowing (been snowing all day) and I have to drive 20 miles to work. Ooops1 I needed to get gas too! I guess I'll have to do that after work!

1. I am sad after learning that Captain Kangaroo has died. 2. I used to help him wake up Grandfather clock every weekday morning. I thought it was my job, and if I didn't call out "Grandfather!", then that poor clock would sleep all day and miss all the fun stuff in the Treasure House. 3. I still remember the story of "Stone Soup" and I think that it was the Captain, who gave me my love of books.

1. Wish I was only turning 39 in a couple of weeks 2. Took son to the dentist yesterday and when we got there the back door on our van was jammed. Since son is in a wheelchair, there was no way to get him out of the van in the chair, so he had to get his checkup without it. Luckily the dealership was on the way, so we stopped at the service dept. and they began working on the door immediately! They had son and his wheelchair out in 15 minutes and the latch on the door replaced in less than an hour. It was also covered on our warranty! 3. I haven't had time to come to the clubhouse in a week and am just now trying to catch up again. 4. I missed my TVCH family

1. my friend and i were very well behaved on thursday night...partially because she partied in chicago (on a business trip) the night before. 2. both of us were really too tired to do any damage. we still had fun though and no next day hangovers...woo hoo! 3. i am hoping to get great seats for the kelly/clay tour right when they go on sale this morning at 10, everyone send me good vibes. lol 4. i had an allergic reaction (i think) to some of the chemicals on the parts i had to sort at work this week. the tops of both of my hand broke out in a rash. the one on the left one is gone, but the one on the right is still there, but going away. i have been using hydrocortisone cream on them. anyone have any other advice on what to use? (i KNOW someone has to!) lol 5. yesterday i was off work and i never took a shower or got out of my "sleep clothes". i guess today i better do those things. have a great saturday everyone!

1. Good luck on the tickets, Jbean! That would be great! 2. We just turned on the TV and a spanish Sesame Street is on, my son is excited saying, "I haven't seen this one before!" He has no idea what is going on in it, but he is still laughing. Kids are great. 3. My dog had to have some spots biopsied yesterday, we should find out today or Monday what is wrong with her. 4. My mom came to visit last week, we had a good time and did some shopping, I love it when my mom visits! 5. My hubby and I went on two dates! We went and saw Along Came Polly and Big Fish. I liked them both. Polly was a cute movie, laugh out loud in some parts. I really liked Big Fish. The only thing that ruined it was it was really cold in the theater and it distracted me from the movie. I had to sit with my arms in my shirt and sit on my feet. I was freezing! But the movie was great. 6. I have no plans for this weekend except going to the grocery store pretty soon. Maybe I will go do something fun like shop for fabric for new curtains for my kitchen!

1. I feel like the living dead. My insomnia problems are back big time. 2. Froggiegirl should post her own thread. FG, have you been reading thru the Moondance and Cowboy wedding plans thread? Some very creative ideas there! 3. Now I want to see Along Came Polly, too! 4. For someone who enjoys cold weather, I've been awfully reluctant to go out in it the past couple of days. It was bitterly cold and windy yesterday morning and it is 13 now. Have to walk Herc. 5. Herc lost one of his booties! 6. I made my low-cal chicken last night (skinless, boneless chicken breasts: rubbed with garlic, onion, salt, tarragon, fresh orange, and nestled with the same, and fresh parsley, too). Then baked. It filled the place with a great aroma and was juicy and delicious! 7. Thinking of Jewels and hoping the biopsy report comes back negative. Let us know!

1. Herckle I hope your insomnia problems settle down soon. (Herckle....look into my eyes....you're getting sleepy...sleepy...closing your eyes....ZZzzzz) 2. jbean, do you realize how much I enjoy hearing your about your nighttime adventures! You bring back some fun memories of my days past with nighttime adventures <sigh>. 3. I hope jbean gets great seats for the Kelly/Clay tour! 4. Gracie, I'm glad you checked in....I was missing you around the place! 5. Jewels, you'll have to let me know about the biopsy outcomes. Oscar has a little lump in his chest wall and it hasn't seemed to grow in the past week, but I'm concerned. 6. Speaking of biopsies, I had a few of my own a few days ago...ouch!, it was a very uncomfortable process and I'm slowly feeling better with each day. 7. I'll get my results in 2 weeks. Yeah, I'm concerned but keeping my spirits up that everything will turn out okay...I'll let you know! 8. Egbob went up to the mountains for the day to help his friend with that cabin repair. I will enjoy the whole day to myself and just do nothing but relax and recoup. Have a great Saturday everyone!

1. Did Herc lose his bootie outside? 2. I think Herc should get a new bootie. 3. I wish Herckle could sleep better. 4. Just come here every night and Ms. Eggie can put you to sleep with her "very sleepy" treatment. 5. I am not happy to hear that Ms. Eggie is waiting for some news. 6. But will just say that good news is all that she deserves. 7. My cat is on top of my monitor right now. 8. Uh oh, should have put that in the right now thread and now I am to #8 just like Eggie. Sorrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.......

1. eggie, i will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. 2. eggie, luckily our night wasn't so wild the other night. we are always the fashion police and that is what is fun about it. it is unreal some of the things people think they look good in. my friend's theory is they must not have a full length mirror. 3.. our kelly/clay tickets aren't bad. i thought we could get better ones since i called right at/before 10 when they went on sale. 4. it is disheartening that somehow all the really great tickets are gone before the general public can get theirs. 5. i shouldn't complain. at least we get to go, and the seats are good. in fact they are in the exact same section we were in when we saw christina and justin over the summer, only a few rows back. 6. i started back with the weight watcher's "lifestyle change" yesterday. i was on the special k plan, and followed it strictly and it wasn't doing anything for me. 7. i was hungry then, too. so i figure i may as well be hungry, and losing weight at the same time. 8. my points allowed are a little lower this time as i have managed to not gain all the weight back. 9. SIGH...why can't we all wear a size 6 and not have to work so damn hard at it? sorry about the gripiness (is that a word?) hope everyone has a great weekend!

1. Thinking of you Eggie! 2. Jbean, I just sharted! That was hilarious! I loved the part, too, when they were playing basketball and what's his name kept tossing up shot after shot and didn't make any and then they played against the hairy guy! Cracked me up when Ben Stiller's face smashed against him! Too funny! 3. No word yet from the vet, but I will let you all know, thanks for your concern! 4. My husband just left with my son and my daughter is sleeping. Yea! Quiet time for me! 5. I really should be doing something else, but oh well. 6. I am going to have a hard time coming up with 10 facts. 7. I want it to snow again. 8. The sun is shining today, I really should be outside cutting my roses. That is, what is left of them after the ice got them. 9. There is a rat in my garage that won't eat the peanut butter on the trap. I thought they liked peanut butter. 10. It actually tripped the trap last night but didn't get caught. Maybe we just need a new trap.
