12/16/06 10-day holiday cruise

[magiroux]

Hi Sue...not much going on here either. Are you visiting gaRry?

IT really cooled off around here. Only going to be in the 70's and cloudy. Between 100 degrees in VA for 10 days and coming home to almost as hot and humid Tuesday, this is a nice break. Especially since I have to cook and freeze a few things for camping this week. No AC in my downstairs at all, just fans.

Congrats on the "new" boat, Kat. Do you water ski? I tried a few years ago ony friend's boat and I couldn't get myself up, in fact, I think I hurt myself . I'll stick with tubing.

 

[magiroux]

This is how it manifests.....

I decide to water my garden. As I turn the hose on in the driveway, I notice that my car needs washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice there is mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mailbox earlier. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my keys down on the table, and notice that the garbage can is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first. But then I think, since I am going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my checkbook off the table and see that there is only one check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study so, I go inside the house and find the can of Coke I had been drinking. I am going to look for my checks but first I need to push the can of Coke aside so I don't accidently knock it over. I see that the Coke is getting warm, and decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye - they need to be watered. I set the Coke on the counter, and discover my reading glasses that I had been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back in my desk, but first I am going to water the flowers. I set the glasses back on the counter, start to fill the container and suddenly spot the TV Remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realize that tonite when I go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the Den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers. I put some water in the flowers and quite a bit spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back on the table and get some towels and wipe up the spill. Then I head sown the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:
the car isn't washed
the bills are not paid
there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter
the flowers don't have enough water
there is still only one check in the checkbbok
I can't find the remote
I can't find my glasses
and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, I try to figure out why nothing got done today and am really baffled because I know I was busy all day and am really tired. I realize this is a serious problem and am going to try to get some help for it, but first, let me check my email.

Don't laugh.....if this isn't you yet, your day is coming.

 

[KatHuss]

Mary Ann, that sounds like me most days!

The boat is not big enough for water skiing, but we are planning on getting stuff to go tubing with it next summer.

Today is laundry, grocery shopping, general picking up around the house, etc for me. DH has papers to grade as grades are due tomorrow. Plus he was going to mow yesterday and didn't. Wonder if it will get done today? And he says he is going to fix what he tore apart on the boat yesterday (seats) AND take dd fishing, Ugh.

My head suddenly hurts.....

 

[DCLgodess]

my family is out from CA and we are going to the movies and then we are going to an all you can eat sea food thingy. Going to see The Island again. lol. well ttyl. Have fun everybody.

I would love to visit gaRry. I just don't have the human resources to stay with Jeanne, at this time. Both of my older nieces are getting ready to leave for college, junior and freshman. The best I can do right now is a mini meet at Hershey Park, I hope.

Jeanne and I are going on the Grandeur of the Seas out of Baltimore on 8/14/05. It is a 5 night to Bermuda. I have never been to Bermuda but this will be our 3rd time sailing out of Baltimore (love it).

WHAT A MAN

 

[DCLgodess]

Pm me garry about seeting up a Hershey Park meet. I had all the info, but i don't know where it is now. I will look it up again.

 

[magiroux]

In the year 2005, the Lord came unto to Noah, who was now living in the United States, and said, "Once again, the world has become wicked and overpopulated and I see the end of all flesh before me. Build another Ark and save two of every living thing along with a few good humans".

He gave Noah the blueprints, saying, "You have six months to build the Ark before I unleash unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights".

Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard....but no Ark.

"Noah", he roared, "I am about to sart the rain! Where is the Ark?"

"Forgive me, Lord", begged Noah. "But things have changed. I needed a building permit. I've been arguing with the building inspector about the need for a sprinkler system. My nieghbors complained I am violated zoning laws by building an Ark in my yard and exceeding height limitations. We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision. Then the Department of Transportation demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions to clear the passage for the Ark's move to the sea. I argued that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it.

Getting the wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting local trees to save the Spotted Owl. I tryed to explain to the enviromentalists that I need the wood to save the owl, but no go.

When I started to gather the animals, the animal rights groups sued me. They insisted I was confining animals against thier will. As well, they said the accomodations were too restrictive and was cruel an inhumane.

The EPA ruled ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they conducted an enviromental impact study on your proposed flood.

I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I am supposed to hire for my building crew. Also, Trade Unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I only hire Union Workers with Ark building experience. To make matters worse, the IRS is seizing all my assets claiming I am trying to flee the country with endangered species.

So, forgive me Lord, but it will take me at least ten years to finish this Ark.

Suddenly, the skies cleared, the sun began to shine and a rainbow stretched across the sky. Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "you mean you're not going to destroy the world?"

"No", said the Lord, "The goverment beat me to it."

Have a Great Day, Everyone!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Denise Escola]

Oh Bubbles. you are so funny.

I am so excited. Just booked our little getaway on Aug 18 to Disneyland. We are going to meet up with Richard and Alison, the English couple we met on the cruise. They are coming to the zoo for a day and then we are going up to the park for a day or two. I am so excited.

MaryAnn I have Alisons new email. I will pm it to you. Caongrats on the new cahh. Good boy Jimmy.

We still haven't heard about Paul's job interview. The guy keeps getting called out of town, so we keep getting delayed. It might also be that he is trying to figure out a good proposal. Either way I am pretty sure we are going to be moving up north. So my new job is home improvement.

Talk to you guys later. Have a good one. -D

 

[Denise Escola]

Can I just take a moment to post some pixie dust for TDK Lisa...

 

[KatHuss]

LOL Mary An That was FUNNY!

I tore my leg up yesterday while moving wood. We had a wood pile about 10 feet long and 3 or so feet high at my SILs across the street following our ice storms in January. We were loading it into DH's trailer to move around to the back of the house and I caught my calf on one of the tail lights. Not very deep but very long and throbbing right now. I am such a klutz!

But I have a short week this week as my Dad is coming into town for the weekend. I have Friday off to get my house cleaned up (we have two cats and he is very allergic).

I am jealous of you guys that are meeting at Hershey Park. I haven't even gotten to go to any amusement parks this year . DH and SIL are taking the kids to King's Island on the 19th and I don't get to go 'cause I gotta work that day. Oh well...

Well, time to get back to work.

 

[dobelover]

Great News about your hubby, Denise!!!!


Sorry about your leg Kat.

 

[wdwgoose]

GOOD MORNIN ALL

have A great day all






gaRry

 

[KatHuss]

It's not that bad, gaRry, but tell your ds thanks anyway. Ooh, and permission to hurt him too! I feel so honored!

I would love to go to Hershey but it ain't happening, sorry. DH and I are off to NYC to see SPAMALOT over Labor Day and then we are going back with the whole herd (myself, DH, DD, SIL, niece, Mom and SIL's BF) to visit my brother for Thanksgiving. No other trips this year, that's for sure! We went to Georgia to see my Dad over Memorial Day, the 3 day Disney Cruise at the end of June, and then I went to London with Mom and SIL a couple of weeks ago. Whew, I am tired just thinking about all that travelling! And I doubt I will ever get DH back to WDW. He says been there, done that, don't need to do it again.


We have talked about doing a long weekend at Cedar Point but that will likely have to wait until next year. At this point I can just hear my DH....he doesn't even want to hear about the 10 day cruise at this point since it is still so far off (what are we down to, 501 days or something?) so I suspect he'd think I was off my rocker for being on this board (of course, he may be right but I don't want to give him any more ammo on that one ). I will break him in slowly on the fact that I will "know" a bunch of people on the cruise as we get closer. Definitely gotta plan some things to do together over those 10 days.

I gotta get my whole house cleaned by Friday afternoon with my Dad coming. He is severely allergic to cats and we have two so I have to make sure as much of the hair as possible is gone and I have to clean all the crap out of the spare room so he has somewhere to sleep. Thank god I am taking Friday off to do that! I have to get something to get DDs room organized too. She has stuff everywhere and nowhere to put it (maybe I'll just clean out her toys or something). That needs to get done this week too. And I have to clean out the cat box but we are out of litter. There just isn't enough time in the day sometimes, is there???
