Kim - hubby has been having a mid life crisis for the last 10 years or so - he just tries to keep in shape but feels like gravity and life are against him - LOL.
He is a little obsessive about it.


He does healthcare IT stuff for work which doesn't keep him very physically fit - lol - but twins help.

10 years? When is yours?

We don't have a Target. Closest one is 45 minutes away.

 

[lillygator]

not a lot makes Nat'l news around here...but in North Port (45m from here) a young girl was found murdered. North Port is a BRAND NEW within the past 6 years community. Many who own here, own a "lot" yet as sewer, water, elev is not yet avail ~ homes are not yet built. The family has 6 kids who were turned over to DCF, very strange.

and I am SO HAPPY to see that Baby Abby was found, her mom was slit across the throat and Abby was taken. I believe she is 11 days old now.


Now if they could only find the baby in Ocala!

 

[Bella2000]

You want a cool target? Go to Gaithersburg, MD!!! They have a two story store. The escalator has a thing for you to put your cart on to get it upstairs!

The Nashua NH has one of those - I gota carriage just so I could try it.

 

[kimerinc]

Watching Boston Legal. I love that show too!

Caroline,
Preschool pickup... I live in total fear of being late! The director and assistant director have been there since DD8 was there, so they know me and would laugh at my paranoia.
And last year I was rushing to get things finished around the house before picking DD8 up after her art class. Knew I'd be cutting it close on the pickup time when I got a call... yep, I had the ending time wrong... and this was not the first week of class. So instead of thinking I might be 5 minutes late, I was really 20 minutes late!

We were just picking up Easter baskets so we didn't. Wish I had!

I just heard that about Abby. I have to wonder why her mother let anyone into their house??? You just can't do that anymore!

 

[lillygator]

John Karr could go free?

ETA: I am not trying to be a downer......

YUP! In 4 years of PS with the kids I was late a few times. A couple times I fell asleep watching TV waiting to go pick them up.

 

[lbgraves]

I think that I am starting to fall asleep tonight. Sweet dreams everyone!

We have LOTS of Targets on this side of the Delaware River....

 

[elaineteresa]

I am going to wear my Sherlock Holmes hat onboard now and chat to her hubby

[pjpoohbear]

What plot? There are only 2 DIS families going on that excursion. That isn't a plot....that is a coincidence. Now the David & Ivan tour.....THAT is a plot!!! There is no way that anyone's DH is going to buy having 92 people loaded on 2 busses is anything other than a well planned plot.

Lisa, can your people set up a meeting place for us on the ship. lol.

Pj

 

[kimerinc]

No Targets

Miles? Anyone?

 

[Bella2000]

Pj

Pj!!! I swear I was JUST going to write and ask about you!

 

[lbgraves]

IDK if we should meet on the pier instead so that we don't clog up the exits by leaving all at once? If you guys would like to do that instead, LMK. I am flexible...and will have a clipboard to check everyone in.

Oh Lisa....Don't send people here....

OK the only thing cool about that store is the whole cart escalator thingie. Their CS stinks and our Target Greatland in Germantown, MD tends to have more stuff.

I have yet to see a super target in MD. (although i think that Leesburg, VA has one)

We are very very close to a super walmart though (they need to put the food aisles in.)

 

[MrsMork]

I need to make a confession. I HATE buying cars. DH thinks my car is getting to scary and thinks it may be unreliable this winter. DH is usually the cheapskate of the month, but we have role reversal on cars. How many miles do you all think a car can have before it starts to be questionable?

I don't know about the mile thing, but I am with you I hate, hate, hate buying cars!

Lisa, hon, I don't know if you can buy a big enough clipboard for everything you are doing.... Maybe a briefcase?
