1. We went to Bemidji today to have DH's truck looked at and to get some things we need for vacation. We had an appointment at 10am, got there at 9:55. They don't have loaner cars (what's up with that?) so they offered to drive us to the mall. We shopped for two hours, and called to see if the truck was done. "Oh, so sorry, but we haven't gotten to it yet".... okey dokey. Well I'm hungry so we ask them to pick us up and bring us to a restaurant within walking distance of the Chevy place. We eat,(I had buffalo wing nachos... I'm never going to fit into my swimming suit in 3 weeks at this rate) and walk back. Trucks still outside. We go in and ask how much longer. They say... shouldn't be too much longer. It's 1 pm. We walk over to Target, shop for an hour and a half, walk back. It's in the garage now at least. They don't finish until 3:45! Hubby says I'd never win the $100 on the show Boiling Point because I had steam coming out of my ears and he thinks that disqualifies you.... lol.

I think that was worth three posts so I'll stop now!

1. i go through cycles of insomnia, too, spymom. it sucks, because i have yet to find anything that can really help, but to just let it pass. fortunately i am sleeping good at the particular point in time.

2. in fact i am tired right now because of last night's adventures at the bar. i ran into a high school friend there. it is a long story, but she had on thong underwear over her jeans and was walking around the bar like that. and i thought i was crazy.

3. my friend had a romeo, trying very hard, to snag her. lolol. we are 2 peas in a pod. she wasn't falling for it.

4. i added bangs to my new haircut last night, and i like them. i figured if it is going to be growing out, might as well let all of it be growing. plus, i just think it looks better with my hair the shorter length to have bangs.

4.25 (((((sage))))), i will keep you in my prayers. i have a feeling it's gonna be ok.

1. Slept most of the day yesterday which doesn't make me happy because it just doubles the workload today. I need to finish up some work, do laundry and go shopping.

2. Tomorrow morning I'm off to the Governor's Inauguration! Should be a day of fun! We start off in Baton Rouge for the swearing in and then head to New Orleans for the Ball.

3. We have a tourism summit in Baton Rouge the rest of the week. I'm going to drive back and forth since it's only 45 minutes from home.

4. My son starts a new semester this week. He's taking Algebra, Biology, French II and Health/Computer Science.

5. I'm so excited the Panthers won last night! The QB is from my hometown so we're all pulling for the Panthers. After so many years of having the Saints (or Ain'ts as we call them) as "home" team, it's rather fun to be pulling for someone else.

1.I had a great "girls night out" last night. Got my little self home around 3 am today! Ha!
2.I haven't walked through the door that late in ages! It was worth the twenty questions.....
3.We played pool, which I used to play all of the time. I won ever game I played in!
4.Ran into a very significant "EX".
5.He tried talking to me for quite sometime....reminding me of the "Good Times" then had the nerve (despite knowing I am happily with DH-who was once one of HIS friends) to continually try and get me to go back to his place and "talk"
6.I laughed a lot over all that I tell you....and NO I did not go back to his place.......here I am back home like a good little girl....typing away at TVCH!

1. i had quite the girls night out last night, myself.....way too much to drink! i thought i was going to die, i felt so bad this morning/all night...headache, puking, etc. sorry, i know that's gross!

2. my closest friend and i ran into each other at the mall yesterday, and both bought new sweaters. so she decided that we needed to go out and wear them, but first polish off the bottle of champagne that she bought for new year's eve and didn't drink.

3. so i brought my bottle, too. holy sh!t! i helped her get ready, fixed her hair, because she likes it better when i fix it. and we drank BOTH bottles of champagne in under an hour! by the time we got to the bar we were both LIT! and it all spiraled downward from there. lol

4. my friend has a very real, serious, relationship problem with her ex. i don't care to elaborate on it, because it's her business , but it really is hard for me to watch the cycle keep repeating itself. it is really hurting her.

5. so by the end of the evening, i was hiding in the bathroom because of this guy i danced with had almost made me sick (again) during a slow song and i didn't want to dance with him anymore. it made me sea sick! so then she comes in there, freaked out, over this guy. so we decide to leave.

6. in the car on the way home, i learned of the whole situation and history with this lovely invidual, who btw, i would like to kick his ass with my ass-kicking boots.

7. i am very concerned about my friend, but i can't tell her what to do, only what i think is best...and she already knows that i am right anyway.

sorry my facts are so long today...a lot happened last night

1. Jbean, I hope you have recuperated from your night of champagne! I also wish the best for your friend.

2. Oh, and Jbean, over the Christmas holidays I got sick all over the comforter covering my sleeping dd!! Now that was not nice, but she forgave me. (I think the crab imperial and peppermint schnapps I had later just didn't get along in my stomach.)

3. Sage, I am hoping this is a false alarm for you. And yay for Dennis (bf?) for being such a great guy. Better not to have to deal with anything like this, but just an FYI, in case the news is not great: A close, single female friend of mine has the problem I believe you mean and has learned to deal with it and live with it. It did not ruin her life.

4. I am excited because I went to the Discovery Channel Store on Saturday and participated in the weigh-in for the National Body Challenge. Weigh-out day is April 3 (12 weeks from Saturday). I received a free 3-month guest pass to Bally's along with a bunch of goodies.

5. I also signed up as an interested participant in a 6-week program conducted by the certified nutritionist present at the weigh-in. I have insomnia, too, but it is menopausal-based. The nutritionist has 18 years experience and her program addresses menopausal issues. So I am looking forward to that.

6. I have exercised and eaten sensibly for 2 days. Yay!

7. I have one more week to endure until I find out if either of the two company directors who interviewed me last Monday wants to invite me back for a second interview. If this one falls through . . . I just don't know. I think I'll become a dog walker or something.

8. Herc's left ear is dong really, really well. It is now as normal as it's going to get after the surgery, and stands straight up as it should--except for the tip. It is flopped over. We are very glad it came out this well and think he looks adorable even without 2 entirely expressive ears.

9. I just watched Tom Cruise on Inside the Actors Studio. Forgot to look when it was filmed, but Tom had a rough startup beard and he looked totally hunky.

10. Golly, finally a Queer Eye that I haven't seen!!! Watching it now.

1. I hope LadyTex's cedar fever is much better now. Mine is, but my stomach hasn't settled down completely yet, and I don't like taking antacids every day just because I have to take my allergy meds. DH is better now, too. He has taken so few sick days in his life, and just when he decides to take one they call him in - because they can't do without him.

1. Ceder Fever is a bit better, but cedar is still high here, so I'm still taking major antihistamines, thanks for asking Gracie.

2. Another long week, trips to Wacko and Temple for basketball on the schedule.

Glad you're feeling better lady!
1. I just finished my belly dancing video... lotsa fun!
2.Have two home basketball games to go to this week for Jordan. It's sooooo much fun watching the team improve week to week! Jordan made 12 points last Thursday!
3. We have all the paperwork, variances, and plans ready to submit on our townhome building project. Keep your fingers crossed that the bank will finally give us the green light!!

If this happens, this will sadly be my last year running the resort. So I hope that I get to meet alot of new people from here this year!

1. Seems like I spent most of my time at Dennis' house sleeping. I went to bed on Friday night around 10pm and slept until 2:00pm! I did wake up several times, but fell right back to sleep. Then on Saturday night I slept for 12 hours.

2. I got home around 11:00am and 2 hours later went to sleep for 3 hours! Then I went to bed around 10 and slept for 6 hours, woke up for a couple of hours, went back to sleep for another couple hours.

3. And now I'm having some dizziness and feel light-headed. What is up with that? I almost passed out. I don't understand why I'm sleeping so much, and I wonder if the dizziness is related to too much sleeping.

4. I really hope I can make it to RG's this summer, but I have no idea what the future holds for me, or even how I'd get there.

1.Lol Sage. The dizziness is probably from lack of eating! Did you sneak any nutrition in between naps?
2.I went to the local Target to find some storage units for the home because I had heard a little rumor that they would be on sale...
3.To my dismay the aisles were empty! Walked out with nothing.
4.I had a great weekend that I think will be on my mind for a long time to come. I am already wishing I could "escape" again next weekend!
5.I hope everyone out there in TVCH land is having a great Monday and no black clouds are hanging above anyone's heads today!

1. I signed both kids up for little league Saturday. I was excited to see that Caleb's tball coach is now in charge of tball/coach pitch. Him and his wife did so much our first year to help out and keep everything organized that we had a great experience with them and with our first year of little league.

2. We bought Dakota a tee to practice with. The first two hits, she knocked it over. Then on the third, she held the bat like Dad taught her, pointed her feet in the right direction and took a swing. The ball flew straight across our yard and the neighbors before bouncing off a tree and flying across the street. She hasn't misssed since. She's so excited that she was outside all weekend practicing.

3. Caleb has tryouts the 24th. He's a bit nervous, but he was out with Dakota practicing this weekend. He's so scared that he'll get hit in the face with a ball that he refuses to wear his glasses. He spends alot of time swinging too soon because he can't judge how far away the ball is. When we manage to get him to wear his glasses he has no problem hitting. Other than spending alot of time arguing over him putting them on, I'm not sure how to convince him to wear his glasses.

4. Today I'm doing major cleaning. I even have plans to do the kids rooms since Kota has a mess in her closet and Caleb's is plain scary.

5. Ack, while I was typing I got beat on facts 4 and 5!

6. Today we have nice blue skies, but it is cold! This weekend was so nice we washed and cleaned both cars, now it's freezing.

1. My DH went back to work today, he took 3 weeks off at Christmas and then took last week off because of the storm. I finally feel like we are getting back to normal around this house today, but it was a fun month!

2. We bought my son a new bed yesterday. His toddler bed was getting too small and he kept falling out of it. We bought him a twin bed and new flannel sheets. He loves it. When I snuck in last night to check on him, he looked so cozy. He is growing up way to fast!

3. We also bought a new flat screen TV for our den. We have our computer on this long table, so now the computer will be at one end and the TV at another, how cool is that? I am really excited.

4. My daughter fell down the stairs on Friday night. Scared me to death. We were eating dinner and I hear this "thud, thud, thud, crash, WAAAAAAAA!" I knew when I heard the crash what had happened, someone left the gate at the bottom of the stairs open and she ventured up, I don't know how far up she got before she fell, but the crash sound was her falling through the gate onto the wood floor. At least the gate was there to break her fall a bit. She cried for a while, but is okay, has a couple scrapes and bumps on her head though. WARNING: Always make sure baby gates are closed!!!

5. We still have snow in our yard. Snow never stays around for this long. It's been a week, I love it!

6. I bought a bunch of new storage containers shortly after Christmas and am still in the process of trying to fill them. Even though I am pretty organized, I could re-organize forever.

7. I started exercising again this morning and hope to continue doing so daily. I really have been off track for a long time and I am feeling gushy!

Ooooh, Jewels, there's nothing worse than the sound of the baby falling down the stairs! Glad she is okay.

Nothing worse than that "WAAAAA," you know it means someone got hurt! Give her an extra hug for me Jewels, I'm glad she didn't get hurt worse.

1. Got my kitchen spotless from top to bottom, front to back this morning.

2. Then all my plans went to heck when sis called to tell me she had strep throat and asked if I could watch the girls.

3. I was only supposed to have them til 5, but her hubby was sent to the doctor from work and he has strep too.

4. I am now keeping them all night, neither girl has jammies, older neice doesn't have another set of clothes, but I havve everything else, so it should be good.

5. Grandma is going to pick them up tomorrow for a few hours so I can finish up the cleaning I wanted to do today. No idea how long she'll keep them, and no idea how long sis and bil will need to keep the girls away from home.

6. Oh well, I'd rather have them here than run the risk of them catching strep throat, especially the baby!

7. Caleb's class had six volunteers last week for their field trip. We've been so lucky the last two years having plenty of parent and grandparent helpers in both classes. Caleb's teachers this year and last, and Dakota's teacher this year have all said that they have been very fortunate to have so many willing and able to help and most years it's not like this.

8. MOW is back to working 13 hour days. He's been back to work 6 days after an 11 day vacation, and hasn't been home before 8pm (oops, except for Friday, they got home at 6, so only an 11 hour day.)

1. i am excited that the panthers won too! funny, since i am from missouri. lolol. the panthers have been awesome this year!

2. i went to a mary kay party tonight, where they did the whole redo your makeup thing.

3. my 2 friends i went with and myself, looked better before the party! there was no eyeliner!

4. eyeliner is a must for me. my eyes look tiny without it.

5. i stopped in blockbuster after work today to see if they had any more "pre-viewed" dvd's for sale...looking for freaky friday. score for me! only $9.99!

6. and i found out that the woman who always gives us our cups at the door of our favorite bar, also works at blockbuster. (she also has a third job at wal-mart...as i have seen her there before, too!)

7. i can't express how happy i am that i don't have 3 jobs....one is more than plenty for my taste.

8. george strait is going to be in st louis next friday. want to go so bad, but ticket prices are unreal! (george is the man!)

9. i did see george in concert WAY back in the day, when i was about 12 years old. he was still fairly new then and actually came here in my town in concert!

ps. herc, that is gross about the puking....lol, lucky for me i made it to the bathroom every time.

1. I want to tell Jbean that I saw George Strait back in the day. It must have been the time she was 12 and I was mmmmmuch older than that.

2. I got to go backstage and meet him and have my picture taken.

3. He is gonna be in Shreveport soon but there is no way I would pay $60 bucks even though he is the man.

4. My son informed me that he was gonna have straight A's again on his report card.

5. That is basically a hint to get some cash ready.

6. Yea, I know, we shouldn't pay him for grades but hey, he's an only child so he's spoiled.

7. I'm still waiting for War to come clean my house.

8. Now I see Jewels like to reorganize. She can come too.

9. I could have a blast playing with all the kids while you two cleaned away!!

10. I wonder if RG plans on entertaining the group this summer with some belly dancing?

LOL Kady! Probably not! Although we ARE known to dance on a pool table from time to time... maybe we can incorporate belly dancing into that!

1. We went to Jordans game last night and he was pushed onto his face and got a bloody nose, minutes later he got the wind knocked out of him and then his elbow made contact with some sharp teeth and he bled from there.... Jeez and they think football is rough!
2. We are planning a trip to southern Minnesota this weekend for a "cousins" reunion. I'm really excited because I haven't seen some of my 38+ cousins for over 15 years! One in particular is my cousin "Jennifer" who used to be "John" We were the best of friends because he loved playing dolls with me....should be interesting!
