Egmom!!! Your post brought to mine my darling grandma, who with her sisters when they were in their 60's also sat out all night to sit in the front row for the Rose Parade!! Go figure, she always was young for her age!! YEAH to your ds!! I'm an hgtv watcher!! Can you talk DS into putting tape on his hat that says TVCH??? LOL we couldnt talk DS into taping his helmet, but we've all threatened to do that, no courage tho!!

pffffffffffttttttt on Green Bay!! (ok, *eg!! :) )

Lovin the pics, Jewel I love the snow (you know you'll miss it Bobbie)Kaili, what a beautiful shot of the sun!! Miss it, and I'm in Chicago, its dang HOT here!! I want SNOW IN DECEMBER, not in March or April!!

Welcome Lkunkel - I guess its confirmed a 2nd season - SO!! :)

I braved the stores, dh decided to trust my judgement on the Champagne for tonight! I went to 3 stores, each store had what I bought at the previous store $1-3 CHEAPER!! Who knew the LIQUOR store had the CHEAPER PRICES??? GRRRRRR (OK, Tatingers for $14 I think is a good price, Blanc de Noir Chandon for $8.99)

1. I don't know how many to post, so I'll just post a bunch.

2. I'm at my parents. No snow, just desolate, empty cornfields and big blue sky.

3. I'm sick with a killer earache and what feels like sharp knives in my throat. At least I don't have to work or go anywhere for the next few days. The flight to St. Louis was, well, REALLY painful on landing as one of my ears was clogged and I couldn't get the pressure equalized no matter what. OUCH!

4. Today is my Dad's birthday. We will have him open presents tomorrow, as he is out in the woods cutting lumber for someone today and my 6 year old niece is in Quincy or Springfield at a hotel with one of her 6 year old friends for a New Years party.

5. Can't believe that the 6 year old has a more exciting New Years planned than I do. Maybe I'll get out of the bathrobe and get dressed tonight. Maybe not!

6. I finished reading the book "Wicked". The musical is much simpler, and thus better, I think. I saw the musical first, then read the book. Reiki is doing it the other way around, and we will have to let you know if she agrees.

7. Mom just hooked up their new DVD/VCR that I got them for Christmas, so I guess that we will be watching DVDs OR playing games tonight. Hope I can stay awake!

8. Happy New Year to all my TVCH friends!

9. I think that there should be a Cleveland or Eastern Ohio meeting. I would be game to come in from Western PA!

10. I'm going to get my vita polished off and send off some job applications this week. Here's hoping that this is my LAST school year in Western PA!

Back to number one for the next "victim!"

Happy New Year to all my TVCH friends!!!!!

1. I just got official confirmation that credit card #1 is paid off, and we have a credit of $116. Several years ago we consolidated our three credit cards into one bill, so while all three are paid off, this is the first official confirmation I've gotten. I can't begin to explain how excited I am about this!!!!!

2. We are doing our typical New Year's Eve celebration. Staying home and sober with the phone free and all of our friends and family knowing that if they need a ride at any time tonight one of us will be free to come get them. Still haven't had anyone call to see if I'll babysit, but it also wouldn't suprise me to have someone call, lol.

1. Happy New Year to all the TVCH Factoiders who come to this thread to share, I love you all!

2. Egbob and I are all by ourselves tonight and we passed on going to a party.

3. We're ordering Quiznos hot sandwiches and I don't know about him, but I'm downing it with a glass or two of Merlot!

4. This morning I went to the DMV for my scheduled appointment to renew my Driver's License. I only had to wait an hour in line...

5. The DMV thumbprinted me and took a current picture....I asked for a dozen B&W Glossy 8x10's to sell on eBay. (Cheers to jbeannie!!)

1. I am staying home tonight - no party, nothing.

2. I'm going to have a glass of wine and take communion with the Lord all by myself tonight.

3. I'm glad this crappy year is almost over.

4. I have not heard from Dennis at all today - don't know what's up with that. I think he's sick because he mentioned he didn't feel well lastnight.

5. I finally sat down tonight and filled out 3 different, in-depth forms describing my illess (fibromyalgia) for getting social secrity benefits. I feel so much better getting that done! (I procrastinated for weeks on this.)

6. I hope everyone has a fantastic New Year!

1. I wish everyone a Happy New Year!

2. I am tired. Pulling double duty covering for a girl at work, and taking care of Unit and his chores at home is starting to drain me.

3. It is also cutting into my TVCH time, and I don't like that!

4. I made my first pork roast yesterday. IT WAS THE BEST FOOD I'VE EVER MADE IN MY LIFE!

I used the crockpot and my ingredients were:
Pork
Sauerkraut
Potatoes
Apples
Brown Sugar
Pork Seasoning

It is so juicy and delicious, I wish I could FedEx it to everyone I know! (This is major for me, as I don't cook!)

5. I have been waking up swollen the past few mornings. Don't know what's up with that, but I have to take my rings off before I go to bed so they don't choke off my fingertips!

6. Unit and I are thinking of taking in a movie at the theater today. I have to bring a foot rest of some sort for his leg, and hope that no one runs into his cast!

7. I love you!

1. Happy New Year everyone and I'm so glad you all liked that picture. It was such a pretty night, and actually warm. Lake Superior has the best sunsets. We camped on that beach last summer and also saw the Northern Lights really, really, really bright.

2. I went to my cousin's party last night and it was fun. We played that Outburst for a lot of the night (until about 11:45).

3. I was in the bathroom at 12:00. I missed midnight. I heard them all shouting (the party was in the basement). I wasn't the only one. Another person was waiting to use the bathroom. But I was the one IN the bathroom.

4. I met a guy there (at the party) who met Karen from the first BB. He was visiting a friend and this woman came up to him and asked if she looked familiar at all to him. He said no since he didn't watch the show. He also was saying he's going to apply for Survivor.

5. I meet less and less people these days who will admit not only to watching Survivor but to loving it. It was fun talking to him.

6. I'm surprised I'm up- I didn't get to sleep until 3. I wanted to be asleep WAY before 3.

7. I bought a "Make Your Own Wine" kit yesterday. Not from the Home Brew Market but just a box kit. The wine takes about a month and probably will taste awful, but I think it will be fun. No grape stomping though.

8. I'm making mushroom stroganoff tonight. Not the Hamurger Helper kind but the mix it all together with fresh stuff and individual ingredients kind. It was super good last time I made it- I hope it turns out as well again. I'm kind of horrible at following recipes. I follow them generally, but I don't think there's a recipe that I've followed through without making adjustments too. I'm pretty sure this recipe gets extra sherry.

1. i hope you all have an amazing year filled with all the joy you can handle. :)

2. i slept until 9:45 this morning, i figure since we will probably driving back home until at least 2 am tomorrow morning from st louis, that i could use the extra rest.

3. i am so excited that i have been adopted by eggie-mommy! i never opened the thread because i figured it was for newbies who were literally still lurking. glad i peeked! now i have a whole new cyber family1! YAY!

4. i feel great today! i think that champagne was just what i needed last night. :)

5. i'm excited about the hockey game today, and the roadtrip. my friend is a blast to hang out with!

6. i got my hs. reunion pics back yesterday. i apparently wasn't the diva that i thought i was, (from looking at the pictures).

7. that's ok, because i had such a good time. and i felt great about how i looked!

8. i peeked at spy's new profile pic (saw it mentioned in another thread) and she looks eerily like my cousin amy. (who is a cutie-patootie, btw).

9. having a hard time coming up with facts today. what's up with that?

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

1. Happy New Year TVCH!!!

2. I went to a party last night and met more new people. They were lots of fun.

3. I've been watching the parade this morning and contemplating what to do today.

4. I've decided I want to treat myself to a southern style lunch somewhere (like Black Eyed Pea or similar) and then go watch LOTR by myself.

5. Jbean, don't let the pictures alter your experience from the reunion. You had a great time and I have no doubt that you looked every bit the diva that you thought! Thanks for the compliment on my picture, btw!

6. The friendships I've developed here can't be explained sometimes and I appreciate each and every person who I've met - and will meet - from this board.

7. I slept until 10 this morning and I was asleep by 2:30 last night. I did, however, drink too much champagne and beer. FYI: Not a combination I'd recommend

8. It is raining here today, but surprisingly warm.

9. I going to sit on my front porch and read for a while before leaving for lunch.

10. Happy New Year everyone! Happy football-watching and black-eyed-pea-eating!

1. It was so good to be surprised with a visit from our dil, and my grandbabies rushed in and gave me the best hugs and kisses. Then we went outside and had a silly string fest. Son may be coming home in three weeks! WooooHoooo!

1. Three more days, three more days!!! The kids are going back to school and I won't have to hear, "mommy, I'm bored" 20 times a day!

2. We didn't take our Christmas decorations down today. We were going to, but decided we'd just have a nice lazy day, again. By tomorrow afternoon though, all of it will be back in its boxes and out in the garage.

1. I won't bore you all with my snow stories, but we got a good 4 inches of snow yesterday and had a blast in it.

2. My husband went back to work today after having 3 weeks off, now I have to try to get the kids back on some sort of schedule.

3. I have all my Christmas decorations down, but they need to be put back in the attic.

1. i had a blast at the hockey game last night! the blues beat the ny rangers 5-3. not a huge win, but a win nonetheless.

2. the guy setting behind us was almost as entertaining as the game. i think he needs some anger management therapy though. the profanity police definitely weren't around. lol

3. we got home around 1 o'clock this morning. we left st. louis at 9:30...the game ended fairly early.

4. i think we are going to see cold mountain this weekend.

1. I think the profanity police gave up going to hockey games long ago!

2. I still need to take down my decorations...maybe tomorrow.

3. I think we are still recovering from our new year's party.

4. I just finished reading Cold Mountain, very good book.

5. There are so many good movies out right now and I need to go see some!

1. We got to babysit the grandkids for New Year's.

2. I ache all over today and I think it has something to do with trying to keep up with the grandkids.

3. I know my sides ache from laughing so much as my grandkids are hilarious.

4. The two little girls laid down on a red quilt and the rolled toward each other pretending to be hotdogs wrapped in ketchup!

5. Then they wrapped themselves up in blankets and laid under the Christmas tree calling out, "Grandma! Come and open your presents under the tree!"

6. At one point they got real quiet and I asked their older brother if I should be nervous. "I'm not sure," he replied, "They have never been this quiet for this long before." I got nervous!

2. Today I have the day off from work....yipee!

3. I took the time to answer a few emails from family and friends.

4. It's cloudy, cool and rainy here...which is because I took the day off from work...LOL!

5. I took some time to read my book Cold Mountain. I was hoping to finish it up by the weekend so I could see the movie, but it doesn't look like this will be happening.

6. Egbob and I have been taking down Christmas decorations - eeks!, I always forget how much work this task brings!

7. I've got a big pot of turkey soup cooking on the stove. I made it all by myself! It's nice to have the time to do this. I've also made some dinner rolls which are rising right now and I hope they come out okay...

1. Twinks, I'll be keeping your daugher in my prayers. Yay for her!!!

2. Grandma is going to go to the museum with Caleb and his class Thursday. She's almost as excited as he it.

3. I'm going to be watching the baby again tomorrow night. Sis got tickets to the Disney Princess ice show. I'm jealous, lol.

4. Got all my shopping done today. I have two weeks worth of lunches planned, socks bought for Dakota, and a new belt for Caleb.

5. They didn't like their "suprises," lol.

6. We went all day with nasty looking skies and not a drop of rain until we took the kids to go shopping at Costco. By the time we got home, they got soaked running from the house to the car.

7. Darren got up early this morning and took all the Christmas decorations down. I love the decorations, but the house seems so much less cluttered now.

8. I'm going to be in bed tonight by 1am! I've been staying up way too late the last week or so.

9. With the kids going back to school, its time for me to get back on a better schedule than the one I've been keeping.

10. Yesterday Dakota spent the day following me from room to room. In about 10 minutes, I managed to knock her in the nose with my elbow twice (it really was an accident, lol.) Her nose is fine, but my elbow is a little sore!
