1. i love reading about all of your lives! hermi, that is great. 8
years? very cool. and ms. eggie, i thought you were INNOCENT? lol, i have never even seen a prison cell in real life (just on tv, lol). and spy, a house? that is awesome! congratulations!

2. i spent most of yesterday searching for a new pair of sneakers, with no luck. i thought i knew what i wanted, but when i tried them on, i changed my mind.

3. i wear a size 10 shoe, and i have to choose shoes carefully so they don't look so big.

4. so i decided on some that were the same brand (skechers), which is what my worn out ones are, but this time i want colored ones instead of plain ol' white. but i never found any on sale that were in MY SIZE. seems women with big feet are a common thing.

5. i am a little freaked over something dumb. i have been watching my felicity box set, and this whole time (until last night), i thought that the girl playing julie was jennifer garner, because i knew she had been on the show.

6. until i watched the episode that jennifer garner is really on. turns out the other girl's name is amy jo johnson. they look a lot alike imho.

7. i even had to go to IMDB to check and make sure jen hadn't changed her name from amy jo. their pics on that site look similar too.

8. back on the shoe hunt today. i think i will go to branson to the outlet malls. wish me luck!

enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone!

1. Good luck shoe shopping today Jbean! Congrats Spy...can't wait for pics! Texannie, I'm jealous! Have a great cruise!!! Hermi, 8 years is awesome! Keep it up.

2. This weekend has been so much fun! It's about time I had a fun weekend.

3. Friday we made plans sort of last minute to visit my cousin, her daughter, and her (new) serious BF at her new house.

4. My sister, her hubby, and my (almost 1 year old) nephew went too.

5. We ordered pizza, talked, and laughed...just enjoyed each other's company.

6. Later, everyone took a little drive to her parents house (my fav. aunt and uncle) where we met up with my parents, another aunt and uncle, and some of my aunt's other family.

7. It was almost like a family reunion!

8. We drank a few bottles of wine, talked and played some games - I learned how to play dominoes.

9. And that was just Friday. I'm going to pull an Eggie and post about Saturday night a bit later when we get home from visiting the future-in-laws. All I will say is there was a stripper involved...

1. Froggiegirl, I like your style...LOL! I'm looking forward to Part 2!

2. Hermi!! I'm one who didn't know about your achievement with sobriety and being in Recovery. Thank you for sharing today.

3. I am so proud of you Hermi!!

4. I was also touched by how you have a beautiful 7 year old nephew as your loving real-life indicator and proof of your accomplishments.

5. jbean! Jennifer Garner plays "Hannah" in Felicity and she looked rather plain, not like she looks today...and I didn't like her character in Felicity...grrrrr

6. Amy Jo Johnson, who plays "Julie" was the Pink Ranger in the kiddie program "Power Rangers" back in the 80's. Have you seen the espisode yet when Felicity and the gang go to a Halloween costume party??

7. My dd and I watched every season of Felicity and it is one of my favorite all time TV shows.

8. I'll have to think about buying the box set that jbean speaks about.

9. jbean, I have a skechers connection at their corporate office in Manhattan Beach. That company is trying lots of new products recently and I hope it all goes well for them.

10. Last night as I was roaming around my house, I came upon a Gift Certificate to a Spa. I received it in January for my birthday and I had forgotten all about it!! I see a body massage in my future...and a facial too!! WooHoo!!

1. I'm home and I have jet lag, so I guess that I will be taking a nap as soon as I get groceries. I think I want to take me nap in my jammies, so getting the groceries first will be necessary!

1. Welcome home Marm! I've enjoyed reading about your travels.

2. But I enjoyed reading about The Man in particular! Hope things develop over time!

1. We've had an accident prone weekend with the kids.

2. Friday after baseball practice, we were walking back to the car. We have to walk up a rocky, dirt hill to get to the car. Kota slipped and fell, scrapping her leg up from hip to knee. Saturday she didn't have a game (which was good because she was still sore) but walking into the park for Caleb's game, she tripped and fell and scrapped the same knee!

3. Caleb is not immune. Today we spent part of the morning outside doing yard work and enjoying the nice weather. He was roller skating, tripped and bounced his face (nose!) off the concrete step on the porch. His nose is slightly swollen, his eyes turning black. Just a few minutes ago, he came out into the living room, groggy and holding his arm. He fell out of bed and smacked his arm into the dresser!

3.5 I'm considering wrapping both of them in bubble wrap. Couple eye holes, mouth and nose hole should do just fine, LOL.

1. Aww, War. Poor little boo boos. Your plan sounds good to me!

2. DH and I saw DD (Lauren, alias Loupup) in Brooklyn tonight. We smothered Loupup with kisses and hugs and more kisses and hugs, let me tell you!! Had dinner together and talked and talked.

3. Loupup is feeling angry at herself now. But she is really okay. She now has mace.

4. When I returned, I helped Juju pick out swing-arm wall-mounted lamps tonight in her thread under General Discussions. That was fun! I think (unless she changes her mind) that she will be ordering some white ones in the morning.

4.1 G'night!!

War, Do me a favor and give the kids a kiss from me before you wrap them in that bubble wrap. Heck, since they'll be wrapped already just go on and ship them down our way. LOL

LOL. I feel so bad for both of them, and what's worse is that they left school Friday perfectly fine and now they have to go back tomorrow looking bruised and battered!

1. I haven't been reading any posts all week, except for the updates. I know I will never catch up on everything, so........

2. Hugs, good thoughts and vibes, congrats and so sorry's all around the board from me!

3. DH and I still have the sniffles & congested heads, but it's getting better. I really hope that means it's not migrating to the chest. Today I had that "sticky" thing in the back of my throat that made me keep coughing.... (grrr)

4. Neither of the Step-D's came this weekend, so that made for a grumpy DH. One had legit excuses (church activities) but the other had a really lame reason for not coming. I think I will elaborate on this and see what you guys think, but I need to find the right thread.. Maybe the gripe thread?

5. I saw a thing on the news Friday night about bogus flea products. (Advantage and Frontline) I think I might have bought some of them online. (I knew that deal was a little too good.) The thing is, the packaging is so good, even some local stores were fooled, and had ordered from these same people. Here's a link to the story. (Sorry if this is posted elswhere..)

1. Ok, I got home late from the future-in-laws so I didn't get to post about my Saturday night...so here goes.

2. Saturday night was a surprise 50th birthday party for my aunt. The party started out slow but once we broke out the 200 jello shots that I made the party started picking up, lol.

3. The DJ, who my cousin hired, was my high school sweetheart...did not make DF too happy, but what could I do?!? Sad thing was I really wanted to talk to him to catch up and gossip, but couldn't so DF wouldn't get more p*ssed. Minor glitch in my night...

4. About two hours into the party I heard a loud whistle sound...and I see a cop at the door to the hall. My first thought was that the music was too loud and we needed to turn it down, but that wasn't why he was there...he was a stripper!

5. I nearly fainted! My first stripper experience (yes, I'm a good girl) and it's with my parents, my fiance', my cousins, a few great-aunts and and ex-boyfriend thrown in there. I was mortified, but my aunt took it all in stride.

6. I always pictured strippers as the Chippendale-type with long hair and moustaches...he was opposite. Good-looking, very muscular, very tan, but very old (as least for me)! Had to be almost 50 himself, lol. He had the best pair of buns I've ever seen too!

6.5 After he finished his lap-dance and left the building I was so relieved...it was just a weird experience. And I threatened my mom, sister, and cousin that if they got me a stripper for my bachelorette party I would leave! Just not my thing...but hey, to each their own I suppose.

1. I spent the day getting little things done in preparation for my convalescence.

2. I got some money for my birthday, so I went and bought myself a ice tea maker, and a really nice down blanket.

3. I finished painting a rock today that is very heavy, and knew if I didn't get it done today, it would be months before I could finish it since I wouldn't be able to pick it up.

4. Over the last 2 weeks, I emailed and met 6 different men. My objective for doing this was to gain some friends and have someone to do things with. Turns out 2 of them are going to be awesome friends.

5. One of them is going to go on walks with me as he needs to lose lots of weight, and he is also going to teach me how to do Tai Chi.

6. I have made a big decision for my life. I'm not going to date anymore, or worry about having a relationship with anyone. I'm exhausted by it all, and am finally getting used to and comfortable with the idea of being single and alone for a while. Whew, I can't believe I've made it to this point finally!

7. Tomorrow is the big day that I go under the knife. It could be a week before I can navigate the stairs to come down here and use the computer. I'm going to miss you all until then.

1. Okay, I'll do 7.

2. Today my Director gave me a project that must be done asap (like yesterday apparently).

3. She tells me she's entrusting me to get this job done and has notified the house (that's hospital talk for "hospital"..LOL!) that I'm the "Project Manager" and everything must go through me.

4. To be honest, I don't feel great about taking on this assignment. It's way bigger than anything I've ever done before.

5. I'm wondering what will happen if I fall on my face. I've never fallen on my face before so this would be a new sensation...

6. I don't even want to go to sleep tonight because I know that all I'm going to do is dream about the logistics and approach...although, I do my best thinking when stressed. I'll keep a notepad and pen by my bedside and see what I wrote in the morning.

7. Do I sound like a whiner? Yup, you bet I do!! Eggie is going where she's never gone before....

8. Came back to add #8...and I saw Juju's post about code 7....and I laughed out loud...thanks for making me laugh Juju!!

1. Eggie, you are going to do a great job. And you didn't sound like a whiner one little bit-- you were just sharing your thoughts!

2. It is probably too late for Sage to see this, but I'm sending positive thoughts and good wishes her way for the surgery.

3. Somehow my TV remote ended up in my nephew's overnight bag so yesterday I stopped by my sister's to get it. My BiL told me that Sunday night my nephew had started crying because he said, "I miss my Carolyn!" (That would be me.) My sister told me that he announced to her that he wanted to come and live with me and that he didn't think he would miss his parents and his sister, but he knew they would miss him, ROFL!

4. His sister is 18 months old. She is a cutie pie and I have a good bond with her, too. She has gotten quite interested in belly buttons and insisted on checking mine out on Sunday when I dropped my nephew off. She thinks it is great fun to poke her finger in my belly button. She doesn't get the boundaries thing yet and she also wanted to check out my boobs. I was like, "belly button, yes; breasts, no!" Kids! So funny!

5. I also have a niece on my brother's side. She is 3. She is the brightest and most precocious child, but I don't have as strong of a bond with her as I do with my sister's kids probably because I don't get to see her as much.

6. I woke up an hour before my alarm this morning and rolled right out of bed. That is a minor miracle! I am not a morning person. I wish I woke up this easily every day!

7. Loved the stripper story! My sorority hired one once. I was a student manager at the dining hall at the time and the stripper turned out to be one of the other students assigned to my area. I was mortified, especially because that made him single me out (out of over 50 girls!) in his routine! He pulled me into the center of the room and did a dirty dancing routine with me!

8. I've been to a female stripper joint back in my wild and crazy days. It was many years ago when I was hanging out with some Navy guys. The place was very seedy and I remember these gross men sitting right up next to the stage, just watching the girl intensely. It made me feel kind of dirty and sad.

9. I'm having coffee today after work with one of the exceptional education teachers at my school. She is one of my favorite people and a huge part of helping me find my comfort zone in the school and the area when I first arrived almost 4 years ago.
:-) Happy Tuesday, everyone! Three more mornings to get up until the weekend!

1. I'm exhausted this morning.

2. I miss one freakin' day of work and the world comes to a halt.

3. These people will just have to wait until I'm ready to deal with them.

4. Can you tell your boss to wait???

5. All I can say is some people have lots and lots of nerve.

6. Nope, it's not a good morning for Essence.

7. I haven't even had breakfast yet.

8. Yes I just need to vent a moment.

9. Thanks for listening.

10. I hope the rest of you are having a much more pleasant day.
