1. ((Not1)) I am so sorry for your loss. 2. Are we on the road to recovery? I think so. But that could change in the next hour. Stay tuned. 3. I am debating on going on a road trip at the end of the month with a friend from college to see another friend. It would be alot of fun. 4. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

1. This week has been non stop meetings all 5 days. 3 days of meetings were out of town. 2. Wednesday was my son's 16th birthday. He suffered a panic attack at school in French 2. (He has never done that before.) The school called me while I was just finishing up a meeting, so I rushed to school. 3. Seems French 2 teacher read the riot act to the class for not finishing homework (my son had finished his). Right after that, he had to get up to work a problem on the board and didn't "get" it right away. When he sat down, he started shaking and his heart was beating fast and it wouldn't stop. 4. I was a nervous wreck the next day having to go to a meeting 1 1/2 hours away and he having to go to school. I had my mother have her cell phone on in case he had another attack. Thankfully, he made it through school day just fine. 5. He and the French 2 teacher talked and she told him she wasn't yelling at him. When he expressed concern that he was worried about his class performance, she smiled and hugged him and said he worries too much. He's one of the top 3 students in French 2. 5.1 I'm exhausted and going to bed.

1. I've had one of the busiest weeks I can ever remember having. 2. Needless to say, I'm very exhausted. 3. It hasn't been all physical things either, that has me worn out. 4. When I joined the Sunny Singles, a local singles group with a website, I had no idea the information I was putting on the site was for a profile for dating potential. I had 7 men respond to my profile before I got wise and took it off, and for a week and a half I've been writing to them and meeting most of them. (Still have one more to meet.) 5. The whole reason for this is not to get into anything serious right away, but for friendship, and having someone to do fun things with. I make that very clear at the outset with each one. Most of them are great with that idea. I'm finding it's like weeding out the ones who have only one thing on their mind, and it isn't friendship or anything meaningful. 6. This has been a great learning experience, and I think I've made a few really good friends in the process. I never thought I'd be saying this, but I'm so glad I'm going into surgery that is going to have me laid up for at least a month, and unable to do anything strenuous for at least 2 months. This will tell me how genuine and real these guys are, and if they are good friends or not, like they claim to be, because I'm looking for my potential life-mate to be my best friend first.

1. I'm so glad that I have this thread to talk about myself if I choose or to discuss events that other posters share here. Today I'm talking about myself...LOL! 2. I had a wild and crazy week being on call for Jury Duty. I finally received my orders to appear on Wednesday and I did. 3. The first wild and crazy event to happen at Jury Duty came as I was sitting in the room with about 50 other prospective jurors and listening to the "how to" spill from the man with the microphone. As I subtly scanned the room to look at faces, I suddenly recognize a blast from the past. 4. Now mind you, this wasn't just any blast from the past! This was a man (young man of age 24 back then) that I was seriously thinking about marrying when I was 22 years old....and I haven't seen him since the break-up...(and the 22 y/o in me suddenly appeared and I totally lost focus on the man with the microphone). 5. I did compose myself and quickly returned to reality (and age 50 once again...LOL) and focused back on the man with the microphone. After the spill however, I sensed "blast from the past" approaching me...and he did. It was a wonderful reunion and we both handled it with the grace and respect it deserved after all this time. 6. He looked fabulous at age 52, was happily married with two kidlets, ages 17 & 19. We both slipped into a comfort zone with one another and yet we respected the boundaries and had a warm and wonderful talk for hours it seemed, then my name was called to report to Courtroom L. 7. In Courtroom L, I was seated with the other jurors and within 5 minutes we were told to take a 2 hour lunch break and we were warned to be back promptly at 1:30pm. I was 5 minutes late returning from my lunch break and that's when my second wild and crazy event happened.... (opps!, I'm out of Fact numbers, so you'll have to wait for part 2 later on today....LOL!)

1. I can't remember a time when I've been busier - ever. It feels like I say that all the time, and just when I think life can't get anymore complicated....it does. 2. I met someone about 2 weeks ago in a chance meeting out with some friends. He's making my life complicated already. 3. I am building a house! I have my lot chosen, the floor plan picked, the loan is approved, and I meet with the builder on Tuesday to finalize the options. I expect this endeavor will be stressful but fun. I have some pictures of the house from the model home that I will post...heck, where will I post them? Maybe I'll start a thread somewhere. 4. My mom is excited about the house. She wants to throw me a housewarming party (since I think she fears I may never marry and get all the free gifts!). She told me to tell my "axe murderer friends" that they are invited and to bring gifts. LOL 5. I have another personal project that I started last week that will be very stressful. It ends the first weekend in May. I likely won't share the details of that on the board because it is rather personal, but I will shamelessly ask for support as the project gets more difficult the middle of April to the first of May. 6. I still have not finished grading the papers from the class from hell that I finished 2 weeks ago. My objective today is to grade their presentations and re-writes. Tomorrow I will finish the major papers and have a final grade Monday. 7. I have established my first private practice client. That added income will make the purchasing of this home easier. 1-2 more weeks until I learn what I scored on the national exam. Once I pass, I can be listed on insurance panels for reimbursement and will hopefully get more clients! 8. I still haven't finished itemizing my receipts to turn into the accountant. That tax refund (if there is one) will come in handy for my Chicago and New Orleans trips.

1. Okay, I'm back home to listen to my son's DJ-ing playtime for his college radio station....he's cracking me up with his DJ-ing talents!! You gotta love internet radio access!! 2. Part 2 especially for Mocha from my earlier Facts post! 3. .....so I took my 2 hour lunch break and drove over to the DelAmo Mall, which I believe is the world's largest shopping mall?? Anyway, you get the picture...I parked at point A and walked all the way to point Z and then turned around and walked all the way back to point A so I could return to Courtroom L on time. After encountering "blast from the past" I really needed to walk and think about stuff and enjoy some of the things we reminisced and talked about. 4. Yup, I had good intentions of watching my time. However, I didn't allow for a traffic accident to slow me up. The awful thing was, the Court House was only less than a half mile away from where the traffic accident occurred and I could have just left my car there and walked to Courtroom L. 5. So I finally got to Courtroom L....5 minutes late. Now in all fairness to the judge, he did warn us that we would be placed in lock-up from 1-3 hours if we were even 1 minute late. 6. I was asked to approach the judge. He then informed me that he would ask the deputy to escort me down to lock-up to serve a one hour penalty. He also informed me that my jury duty would be reassigned in the near future and I would try this all over again and hopefully obey a judges' directive next time. 7. I didn't offer any excuses and I did offer an apology to the court. He accepted and then sent me on my way. 8. No Mocha, handcuffs weren't involved (darn it!) and I was taken to this basement area by two nice looking and very buff deputies. The had me sit in this type of holding cell that had a chair and a TV. And they even left the door wide open so I was comfortable. It just was so weird sitting behind jail bars! 9. They stayed with me for the hour and offered me some hot coffee and lots of conversation. They told me that this particular judge is known to run a tight courtroom. After a while, my bum was getting a bit sore sitting on the hard wooden chair and so I mentioned it to the "boys" and they went and got me a cushy chair to sit on. So it wasn't so bad but let me finish by telling all of you that I'll never be late to a courtroom ever, ever again....whew!!

9.6 Wow Ms Eggie you were a very bad girl to get placed in a jail cell. At least they didn't close the door and you didn't have to use the toilet, lol. Did you swipe a pair of handcuffs for later?

ROTF! I would have paid to get a pic of Eggie in a cell!!!! I can not believe the judge did that!! When I served duty, we would show up as scheduled and sit around for hours while the lawyers argued, we never went in on time!! How cool those deputies were for you! Was this LA County jail? or a subdivision?

1. How funny, Eggie! You really took the whole experience in didn't you? 2. Congrats on the house, Spy! Can't wait to see pictures. 3. OMG, I just realized I have to do 10 facts. 4. My husband and son are out mowing the lawn and my daughter is sleeping. 5. This morning my husband and son went to watch my neice play basketball and they arrived home with Peanut Buster Parfaits. Such a healthy lunch. 6. I am thinking about BBQing some short ribs for dinner, but I better get on the ball if I am going to do that. 7. I have accomplished nothing today and, after the week I have had, I love it. 8. My mom and dad sent my kids the new Winnie the Pooh movie "Springtime with Roo" and we watched it once last night and twice today already. 9. I want to go take a nap, but I feel guilty since my husband is out working in the yard. I know he is tired too. 10. I think I will just grab my book and go out and enjoy the sunshine.

LOL. 10. She could have been taking a nap - ya think?

I'm downloading pictures of the house to post in my folder as soon as I get them ready. 3. Mr. X is the name I'm giving to this guy. He called and met me for dinner after my massage.

1. I've been backing up all my files on CD's because we need to reformat the puter. Blech. 2. I'm very curious about Spy's Mr. X and hope she is having better luck than me in the man department. 3. I'm tired and I'm bummed because I wanted to hear from a certain someone today, but haven't as of yet. 4. I get the feeling that Texannie is excited about her cruise. LOL! 5. After early Tuesday morning, it will probably be close to a week before I can come downstairs to the computer and visit all my TVCH friends again. 6. I'm going to have a bowl of ice cream now... it's sweetened with Splenda and not sugar, and it's very yummy!

1. Eggie, I totally enjoyed the jail story and it has got to rocket your innocence (or lack thereof!) factor into the stratosphere. I had a pretty high score and I have never sat in jail! Whoo hoo, Eggie! (I also enjoyed hearing about your blast from the past. Sounds like you handled it with a lot of aplomb) 2. I agree that Spy's Mr. X sounds very mysterious. Is he dark and brooding, too? 3. I've got my nephew sitting right beside me as I type this. He spent the night last night. He is such a great part of my life. 4. Some of you know this already, but I am in Recovery. I got sober 3 weeks before my nephew was conceived, so I have literally been sober his whole life. Sometimes when a beer sounds really good, I will think about how I have been sober his whole life and the desire to be able to keep saying that far outweighs the desire to have a beer. 5. I remember when my sister turned 30. We had a big party for her. My nephew was only 4 months old at the time. At the party, she said to me, "I need you to help me keep an eye on Brendan and make sure no one who has had too much to drink gets ahold of him." 6. I can't tell you how good that made me feel because a year or so earlier, I would have been the one she had to make sure didn't get ahold of him when I had too much to drink. 7. My nephew will be 7 in June. I will have 8 years of sobriety in August. Ain't life grand?
