Hi everyone, how are you all doing? Must all be busy with the summer because this thread has become quiet

I am around all day in and out on the Community boarsd and also have a late night DIS thread going for late nighters like me.

We are all doing well and looking forward to this weekend with girls only at DL

WE begine our camping trip on the 19th and that should be interesting. My sister is coming with my other niece for a week and well I'm not looking forward to it. Morgan is and that is whats important right

She is doing well and we spent the day out shopping. We had a good time. So what the heck is everyone else up to?

Hi all!

Back from a lengthy trip to visit family, with many Northwest Airlines issues involved. They messed up many of our flights, and we ended up driving one 8 hour stretch because we were going to have to wait 36 hours since they bumped us from our connection. (No, we were on time and everything, they just did.)

Now we're just trying to get caught up and get ready for old friends that will be visiting this weekend. We met them on a cruise in 1989! Then we visited them, they visited us, they ended up moving to Kansas City while we were still there. They live in Boston now, but are visiting family in Charleston. They are gonna swing by this weekend. A little different itinerary than with Kat, though, they wanted to see a Braves game more than anything, so we'll be doing that Saturday night after they get in.

I only have one more trip this Summer, a long weekend in Hilton Head just before school starts. (Just a little getaway before school.) The boys start back in about a month! (or should I say --not sure!

Hi Sherrena,
WOW that sucks!!!! that would have just pissed me off so much. The airlines do that to so many people all the time likes it not a big deal

WE have remained best friends with people we met on our first cruise also. Way back in 86 also

We lived in LA they in SanDiego. We moved here and they divorced but there son and my boys grew up together and there son is over here almost every weekend. There son is also named BRanden and is going into 9th grade.

We call him our 3rd child. Richard calls or stops by at least 2 times a week. His Ex we talk to seldom so it is Richard who has remained our closest friend.

Our friendship was made to be a lifetime.

So Hilton Head sounds great! how far away are you from there?

I guess that is one thing I can't complain about, all of our luggage did show up. We were really worried after they took us off of our connection at Memphis. They said the luggage went! (And they were going to leave us there for 36 hours without any!) We had to go to the airport after driving in to pick it up. We kept calling to make sure it was already there, but nobody would answer. We left three messages, none was returned. Luckily when we got there it was there. Sitting next to the baggage carousel, in a pile. We picked it up and left...nobody stopped us, checked us, or anything. Nice that they're so casual with our stuff!

Flying is getting worse and worse, isn't it?? My dad ended up spending a night in Raleigh last week when his flight home was cancelled!

Sam is at camp this week so it is quiet at home. Last night Dave and I went to the midnight Harry Potter show. It was really good....

One of Mom's helpers quit. She worked Monday night and then left a note to me and one to Mom and Clare on the bulletin board along with the house key. Didn't even have the guts to tell us in person!! So I am back to late evenings again. My brother is coming in on the 19th and they are all leaving on the 20th for a week so I will have the house to myself! That will be nice, I need some time for me! And I can hide at home with my book on the 21st after going to the midnight book party for Harry Potter 7!!!

 

[dee47]

OMG the HP movie ROCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to the midnight show as well. I think this is the best one yet (though possibly a tie with #3). What an AMZING piece of work! I'm glad this director is doing 6 as well. Wow. I think I'll be seeing it again today!

 

[KSDTink]

Hey Dee, long time no see!!!!

Yeah, it was good. Sam comes home from camp on Saturday so I will take her and Mom this weekend.

How's things in your neck of the woods?? We just had one of mom's caregivers quit unexpectedly . Ugh.

It stunk for me! Did your dad fly Northwest? Probably not from where he lives to Raleigh....

Haven't seen it yet...Brian was at the movies and wanted to stay and see it with friends. Only problem was that they needed someone to pick them up at 3 a.m. when it finished. Ummmmmmm.....I'm not that nice, especially when I didn't even get to see the movie!

We have our old cruise friends coming in town this weekend. (the ones we met in 1989 and later lived in the same city with). We've done a few vacations together....we tried SO hard to get them on the Christmas cruise with us!

Maybe some Harry after that!!

Hi everyone,
How the hecka re ya all doing WEll just got back from a weeskend trip at the Grandcalifornian with my GF's and it was wonderful. Here is a little blurb but dont want to type it agian, so you can look here..it is a thread I started so you can find me here also


http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1510202 page 20

We are going camping in 3 days for 10 days at Camplandbythebay on thursday so have tons to do for that. Have not seen HP yet but will maybe Wed.

So what is everyone else up to.....Nice to see ya dee what have you been up to?????

So speek to me.....

 

[dee47]

Seen HP 3 times by now. Can't get enough. And is anyone else DYING here? The 21st can't come soon enough!!!!!!!

Finally so Pirates 3 -- I hope everyone stayed 'til after the credits? Pretty nice scene. Predictable, but nice.

It's HOT in here! If I have to sweat, why can't I be in WDW???

I saw it again yesterday (2nd time), took Mom and Sam. The are all leaving on Friday so I will be going to the midnight book party by myself and coming home to an empty house to read until I can't read anymore!

I am hoping Pirates sticks around here at least one more week so I can go see it at least once again too! 6 times now for this one. Way behind the last one but it won't be going to the dollar theatre since we no longer have one .

I am getting so excited about our trip. It is just over 3 weeks away now!!! I even found where Walt's star and Johnny Depp's star are on Hollywood Blvd, going to see if I can talk Dave into going to those. We are going to take Sam to see Grauman's, going to look for JD's hand/footprints there too!

 

[dee47]

But you're not at all obsessed, Kat...

I'm going to the midnight book party as well...I'm supposed to teach CPR at 9am that day and then it's visiting day at Keith's camp, so I plan on sleeping on Sun, because I KNOW I'll start reading the book as soon as I get home...It's a good thing the CPR class is mostly video based, they won't notice my lack of sleep, or so I tell myself

 

[KSDTink]

Who? Me? I'm not obsessed, I just have issues! Dave says I have Tinkerbell issues and Jack Sparrow issues. I have a new tattoo....Tinkerbell, so that just supports his theory!

Of course, my office done in Pirates, Tinkerbell, DCL and Dave and Sam doesn't indicate anything either!

A coworker of mine is going to WDW in September, taking her mom for her 65th birthday. She says her mom has Jack Sparrow issues. I picked up on that and that is my excuse as well, and I am sticking with it!

Hi everyone....

our friends left last night...we had a good time.

Went to an awesome Braves game Saturday night..they're BIG baseball fans and live in Boston and can't ever get Sox tickets. He was a Braves fan growing up, so this was a good second place thing for him.

Haven't seen HP, between being out of town, catching up work and then guests coming just haven't had time!

I loved the post-credits part of Pirates...I had a friend that missed it. Said she was going back just to see that part...she had been so disappointed the way things ended, she just knew that would make her feel better!

And Kat, if you get to Graumanns, you're right by the Walk of Fame. Shouldn't be a problem to see the stars.

 

[KSDTink]

Hi everyone! Well, tomorrow night is the big night.... !!!

The family was going to leave tomorrow, leaving me to my own devices for Friday evening and Saturday. Now they have decided not to leave until Saturday . Yes, it means DM will have her Potter 7 on CD to listen to on the road, but I will feel guilty about not wanting to pay attention to anyone while I bury myself in my book. Oh well, I guess I will just have to be at it later on Saturday than I had planned .

Then Sunday I will go down to Indy to make my pilgrimage to the Disney store.

And I was bad today. Someone at work was selling a video ipod and I bought it! So this weekend I will also be figuring out how it works and getting my stuff put on there. I will definitely be downloading pirates 1 and 2!!!

 

["Got Disney"]

howdy everyone

well here I sit on my laptop lisening to the band up on the stage in front of the fire in our fire pit drinking my Bella Serra Pinot Grigio Wine mixed with Peach Boons Farm...yes Boons Farm wine...

We have had a great time. I entered the pie eating contest today and came in 4th. But it was against all men and 1 other woman. Last year and the year before I came in 1st

The Sea World fire works will be starting in about 30 mkinutes and can see then from our camp site. WE have a view of the Bay and are right across from Sea World

I have played kick ball, Dodge ball(my favorite) flag football and vollyball and danced in the tent with the DJ last night, bike riding and we just got here yesterday at 3 in the afternoon....

Have lots of friends coming tomorrow and another Band will be playing again. Need more Boones Farm and Pinot Grigio


So what are you all doing????

 

[dee47]

So glad you asked...I'm working in my local mall (on my laptop, in my Starbucks office ), waiting for the magical 12:01 AM hour, when I will get my Harry Potter 7 copy. Our local B&N gives out bracelets to those who reserved the copies in advance, so I don't have to line up. Just show up and get the book. Then I'm going home to READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, there's live music here too
