1. LOL, Zules you are too funny! 2. I'm so glad I'm not living in a snow globe anymore, and don't envy Spy or anyone else who is. 3. I've been bored with the audtion shows on AI for the last couple of episodes. 4. I'm looking forward to seeing some real competition, and some real talent and hope this season of AI is better than the last 2. 5. I'm waiting for a call from my GYN's office because I am having problems with chronic bladder infections, and have been on meds for 5 days now, but the infection is still hanging on. 6. The surgery I'm due to have next month should correct that problem along with the other complications I've been having. 7. I'm painting 2 rocks right now. One is for me, the other one is for my BF Dennis who will get it for Valentines. He has no idea I'm painting one for him. 8. I was going to go get my new glasses ordered today, but have decided to wait until tomorrow to venture out. 9. I have gained 4 lbs! I'm not very happy with myself about this, and don't know why I've been so hungry lately, and just haven't been able to control myself, but I'm buckling down now, and not giving into my cravings.

1. This must be sickness time. I was up from 3 am with what I'm calling a stomach virus. Comes nowhere near describing the pain that accompanied this particular event. 2. DH called a couple hours after leaving for work, telling me he was on his way to ER. His doc sent him there after he called complaining of blurry vision and dizziness. 3. I couldn't move to go help him, unfortunately. But the nice people he worked with went there and held his hand. Made me feel much better--mentally! 4. He was discharged after a CAT scan showed nothing. They advised him to see his ophthalmologist. He sure will! 5. It is just getting dark here after snowing some this afternoon. Good time for a bath and back to bed to snuggle under the covers. I can watch TV from my bed. 6. Watched AI last night, and I agree with Sage. Tired of this preliminary stuff. Ready for the real competition. Will still watch tonight, though. 7. Watched Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance last night, too. I squirm watching it, but can't help laughing. This premise is too much. Think the 'bride's' parents will REALLY buy this? If they're being filmed, they must know something is up. 8. For once, I have no cravings. Don't want anything. 9. Silly, your post made me smile inside, too! Thank you! 10. Oops. My DH just called me from the eye doc's. He has some kind of a problem. His eyes are still dilated and waiting for results. Oh, no. Now I am back to worrying.

1. Today was my day to volunteer at my sons preschool. 2. They sprayed flour with watered down water paint in a spray bottle. Then the kids glopped it around and made a HUGE mess. 3. It was a fun project, but a HUGE pain to try and clean up. 4. This teacher likes messy projects, last time I was there they played with shaving cream on black paper. They also put old hot wheel cars in paint and ran them all over paper. 5. You have to remember that these are 3 year olds. I would never have the patience for those kind of projects. 6. But that is why she says she does them, because most kids don't get to do that kind of stuff at home. 7. I laugh because my son hates to get messy so he does it for about 3 minutes and he is done. The other kids end up covered head to toe! 8. He is getting a little more into it though, he wants to do sponge painting later today. 9. I think we will make his Valentines for school while we are at it since we have a heart shaped sponge. 10. I can't believe I just did all my facts about preschool. How boring am I?

1. LOL, Jewels, it's not called boring, it's called being a mommy! Sometimes I'm amazed that I can spend so much time talking about what my kids did or what happened in school and it hits me that I have no life of my own anymore and it's time I find something outside of the kids, hubby and the house to occupy my time, lol.

LOL, we should start a club. We can post once a week something we did just for ourselves, not the kids, hubbies, house, cars, etc. I could definitely benefit from forcing myself out once in awhile!

1. There is so much sickness going around! I hope everyone is feeling well again soon. ((Hugs)) 2. War, that sounds like a good idea to me! I am lucky that my kids go to bed early, so I do have a few hours of down time at night. 3. My sister-in-law is a pastry chef and sent us some amazing truffles. I have been trying not to eat them, but snuck one in today. Yum!

1. We are in yet another winter storm warning. 2. I am up to my knees in snow already and I don't want anymore. 3. I am seriously regretting buying my grandson a snowboard for Christmas. 4. I can just see his adorable little face, singing "Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!"

1. president bush is scheduled to come to my work on monday (or one of the subsidiaries of it...not sure yet which, but ours is the biggest of all the plants) 2. the CEO of the company, jack stack, wrote bush a letter telling him he wasn't doing a very good job explaining his tax cuts, etc. the letter is featured in inc. magazine at http://www.inc.com/magazine/20040101/bush.html 3. because of the letter, bush will be speaking about tax cuts and unemployment. 4. a guy at work lost his hand on monday morning on the job. the machine that it went in had 3/1000 of an inch clearance..... it was very scary. i am glad i didn't see it. one guy that saw it passed out. he lost all of his fingers and thumb. the good news is that he will be able to get a prosthetic hand because the joints were saved. that is the first time our company has had an accident of that magnitude. can't ever be too careful with the machines, and it was a bad way to be reminded, but the message was definitely loud and clear! 5. we are expecting 4-8 inches of snow and/or freezing rain/sleet/ice. NICE. i told them if we get really deep snow that i will be taking a vacation day tomorrow. no need to put myself in that danger if it isn't absolutely necessary. 5.5 i am really enjoying idol this time. these people are cracking me up. i will be glad though, too, when we find out who the 32 finalists are.

1. jbean isn't the only one who has work stories to share today! (say hi to G-Dubya! And I sure felt bad for the poor man who lost his fingers and thumb.) 2. Every year our department puts together a blacktie Installation and Dinner/Dance for the incoming Chief of Staff and Chairpersons. I assist our Admin with this project. 3. Well today was Food Tasting Day! Admin and I went to the hotel and met with the Chef who had prepared 4 of the following: appetizers, salads, entrees, and desserts. 4. And I'm not talking about your everyday dining....what he prepared was amazing and the presentation was awesome! 5. Along with food tasting, we also did champagne and wine tasting. I kid you not, I must have sipped 24 glasses of different champagnes and fine wines. "Sipped" is the key word here...LOL! 6. The desserts were gorgeous and rich. Most of them were chocolate based items. Admin and I picked out our menu and all the champagne and wines to be served with each course. 6.5 After we got all the cost factors settled, the Caterer gave us each a comp room to spend the night at the hotel for the night of the party. I was stunned, because usually only Admin gets a comped room. Yipee for me!

1. Did somebody check the adoption thread? Egmom is drinking champagne again.... just saying!! (pass on any of those ideas to the Chicago thread egbok!!) 2. The fallout from my high school overnight occured. apparently there was a touch of "vandalism". I was stunned. 3. High School boys thought it was funny to change all the noun signs around (chair, became I dont know table, book, couch etc...) for the life of me I did NOT see it when I did my check of the room. 4. They are in so much trouble. I stood up for them. I WAS THE CHAPERONE> I AM TO BLAME. and Sunday I plan to tell them I dont want to know, nor do I care who was to blame, we are a TEAM. Move on. Move forward. Restatution will occur of course. 5. I volunteered to do the Seder Dinner at church. I always do a HUGE Seder meal at home, we follow a Christian script, which follows the Hebrew, but adds a Christian spin, its a very long ceremony, and I love it. Our Pastor is married to a Jew, so I have resources! (and I have my own Seder plate...) 6. DH car died today. It was cold outside. I had to go get him. His car needs hoses, and batteries, and... *sigh. 7. Guess what I'm getting for my birthday? I could postpone my birthday till next payday... (psst Egmom, any of that Champagne leftover???!!!)

1. I'm finally starting to feel better. Having bronchitis is not fun. 2. Cancelled the conference I was scheduled to go to Friday thru Sunday. Decided I needed to rest this weekend instead. 3. Got my Explorer back today. They had it almost two weeks, had to overhaul the transmission. Thank God for extended warranties! 4. It's official: my boss was named a cabinet member for the new governor. He'll be leaving his position with the parish in a few weeks. We'll have a special election in September to replace him. Happy for him, sad for me. I liked working with him. 5. I slept from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm this evening. Got up, ate supper, took meds and heading back to bed. 6. It's raining right now and expected to rain throughout the night. 7. I love to fall asleep listening to rain. 8. I think Reader's hubby should celebrate her birthday extra special next paycheck.

1. I just started a new thread. It's called the Just for Me Club and is for anyone who does very little or absolutely nothing for themselves. 2. I took my sis to pay bills today. She got a disconnect notice on 0.79. Yep, 79 cents. So I stood there at the company, rolling on the floor as she paid 80 cents and waited for her change, LOL. 3. Also did part of my grocery shopping. My fridge and cabinets were so bare, I spent 130 bucks and am not even close to being finished! 4. Tomorrow I'm in Dakota's class. She asked me if I would take raw veggies and ranch dressing for snack, I was so excited she was asking for healthy food that I set it up with her teacher to do just that. 5. Friday I will be splitting my time between her class and Caleb's. It's 100 day and both have parties and activities planned. Not quite sure how I'll manage both, but I may go to his class in the morning and take Kota with me, or just spend an hour and a half in each class. 6. Tomorrow night, Caleb has a performance for school. They are singing holiday songs (ground hog day, presidents day, valentine's day) and reciting poems about Black History Month. This is the first show he's done since Kindergarten, so we are excited. 7. My youngest adopted bro called me earlier to let me know that after 8 years and 2 children, he has decided to make it official and asked his SO to marry him. They're planning an overnight trip to Vegas and then a huge party when they come home. 8. I asked him since they'd waited 8 years if they could wait a few more months and do it in July when we're in Vegas, he laughed and said, NO! Hehe, can't blame me for trying! 9. I did offer to watch my nephews when they're gone. Since my sis and bil are planning to go, I also told her I'd watch my neices. Figure if I can't be their in person, I can do something for them to make their day as easy as possible.

1. We had BEAUTIFUL weather yesterday, and will pay for it today with ANOTHER snow/ice storm with treacherous travel. 2. Looks like I won't be seeing my student teacher on Friday due to this snow storm. I've been trying to observe her for TWO WEEKS. Dang it, the only days she has school on the regular schedule are Tues and Thurs and I teach all day then. SIGH. This will be the fourth appointment that we will have to change! 3. I have icicles that look like stalagtites on the west side of my house. Probably about 3-5 feet long, and skinny. They would make good weapons when they fall! 4. I rehearsed for an hour and a half with two teenagers last night. This is for a contemporary worship service we are having on Sunday. They are young, and needed lots of help, but I think that it is really cool that these two boys want to take a leadership role in church. 5. We have a press conference on Friday morning that will disclose whether I am on strike or not. It was supposed to be on Wednesday, but was postponed because of "movement in negotiations". At least they are at the table....they haven't even been there for about five to six weeks. 6. I don't want to go on strike. I also don't like teaching without a contract. It's been since July 1, and I wish that the management would get off their duffs and get to the table. 104,000 students lives, LOTS of faculty and staff lives and the fate of 14 small towns depend on the universities being up and running. A lengthy strike in my town would cripple it. SIGH! 7. I'm wondering if I should take my music and CDs out of my office. I have several students who will go in and get my stuff in case we are locked out on short notice. 8. I'm getting really excited about my conference in Boston next week. I've never been to Boston, and I always enjoy this particular conference. Hopefully I will get my batteries re-charged! I am thankful that I'm NOT presenting at this one, as it is VERY stressful to present at these conferences. 9. I have a GREAT big pile of snowplow snow blocking my driveway. SHEESH! And it's crusty with ice because we actually were above freezing for a while yesterday, and of course it is below freezing now! 10. I'm glad that my conference is during Valentine's Day. That way I am around people and busy, and MOST of us are without our sweethearts, so it won't matter that I don't have a sweetheart.

1. I only get to do one? Okay- the heat at work in my area was broken last night, it was 22 degrees when I left (on the thermometer INSIDE the building). My area is a trailer pulled up to the building as an addition, so going down the length of the trailer (imagine a empty, wood floored semi) is a metal tube with four vents. We (there are 2 of us back there) have our own thermostat. I was nearly crying, my toes hurt, and my fingers were no longer able to grip onto anything. If it's not fixed today, I am not working in that again. No way!

1. My 20 yr old son who is in the Air Force and met a girl who is also in the Airforce just called me lastnight to tell me that HE ASKED HER TO MARRY HIM AND SHE SAID YES!! 2. I asked him how he knows that he is in love with her and he asked me how I knew I was in love with his dad. 2 1/2. I just want him to be happy, healthy and hopefully successful.

2. Yay for your son Denecee! I am sure it is very hard for mom to let go of ds to another woman.... 3. I took dd to the bus stop today,came home and went right back to bed. I just now woke up to the mailman at the door (who was too fast for me and I missed BTW) and now I am feeling very ashamed for sleeping in til noon!

1. About to venture outside for the first time since Sunday night after being punched in the tummy by this flu. Feeling better and want to pick up the slack for my DH by finally resuming my share of walking Herc. 2. Weatherbug says it's 31, so the walk shouldn't be too bad. But, I can see ice everywhere caused by yesterday's 40s, followed by freezing temperatures--rather like Schoolmarm's situation without having to deal with snowplow piles. 3. Feeling for you Denecee. Kind of a shocker, but a happy one. You know they are adults and share positive commonalities. Plus they called you! Did they name a date? When will you get to meet her? Did you talk on the phone? 4. Kali, gotta hand it to you! You are certainly not afraid of hard work. Good thing you're young and strong is all I can say. That's awful to have to work in those temps! I don't blame you a bit for not wanting to work under those conditions. Awww.

1. I'll be looking forward to all the hot treats tonight (but hoping I won't need them!). I actually did leave on my break and get hot chocolate last night at the gas station. 2. We have a winter storm warning again. 2-4" tonight and up to 10" by Sunday evening. 3. My car will never be clean again. I just got a carwash on Sunday and here I am in my little red salt box again. 4. I hope everyone starts to feel better soon. It sounds like you may be. 5. I got all my taxes done and mailed out today. Yay! All done!

1. Wishing once again that I lived somewhere that it snowed more often. Sigh. 2. It's Thursday night and my favorite shows are on! Survivor, CSI, and ER. Wooo Hooo! 3. That also means that I get to eat ice cream tonight, another Wooo Hooo! 4. There is a little boy at my sons preschool that is a monster and he blantantly tripped my son today. Now my little guy has a big raspberry on his forehead since he took a face plant into the carpet. Poor guy. 5. Congrats to Denecee's son! 6. I'm glad Herckle is feeling at least a little better. 6.5 I hope Kaili doesn't have to go to work.

1. Hi Facts Friends! I always enjoy reading all about your doings. 2. Remember I told you that I had to have some biopsies done about 2 weeks ago? 3. Well, the reports are in. 4. Let's just say that Eggie will ultimately be A-ok, but she must have a few procedures done to help her get to that outcome. 5. See what happens when you reach the old codger stage. 6. I'm looking forward to Spring and new beginnings that nature has to offer! 7. Rosie has given me instructions on how to prune my rose bushes and feed them, so hopefully they will recover and begin growing those gorgeous roses once again! Thanks Rosie!
