Renae-Sounds like spring! Current temp -10. Get somebody to make a fresh pitcher of lemonade - we'll be there in a couple of days.

The weather is all relative!! When it went up into the 30s last week, it felt warm after being in the teens. 50s will be balmly. Although, I am hoping for warmer than that!!

Trying to get all the last minute things done!! I think I am going to sleep the entire flight from PIT to MCO!

 

[kmc33]

2581 and with this post, 2582 -- only 18 more to 2600!

 

[kmc33]

Oh well, what the heck, I am on a roll so make it 17.

The bad news is... DH's was hit last night; the good news is he wasn't hurt. DH was moving slowly, approaching a light. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a car coming at him. Thought he was going to get hit in the ribs. But he sped up to try and get out of the way. But, the other car hit DH's rear bumper which spun him around and the front end hit a tree stump. Of course there is never a good time for a car accident, but especially not right now! Anyway, I am glad he is okay. We are ready for a vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Janice -- good to hear from you. Glad to learn that the procedure went as expected -- does this mean they did or didn't pull out chicken feathers

I will keep you in my prayers. Hope that it turns out to be nothing serious. Sounds like you need a vacation too!

 

[kmc33]

Hello everyone -

We are still in the cold!!!! It is supposed to be -9 with the windchill! It is 3:20 am and I can't sleep!!!!

I finally got my DD all packed and its only Wed. night! I am so worried about having everything-- about everyone else having everything-- about getting there-- about everyone else in my group getting there--- I just can't sleep!!! I guess I am really excited now! I thought if I got up and read some posts, I could go back to sleep-- but I think I am more excited!!!

Dorie

HEY YOU! WE'RE DOWN TO TWO!!


NOOOOOOO, it snowed again! Several inches and still coming down.

 

[The4OfUs]

Well, I got up at 4:30 am to practice for tomorrow, when we'll be up at 3am...and I'm at work already as I'm leaving at noon...to do the things like pack, which no, we didn't get done yesterday.

I DID find a dress I forgot about for formal night, white and black...I'll match AP if we get that rotation *grin*

My goodness, Kim & Grandma, what a night!! I'm glad that the issues aren't enough to keep you away, I'd be so sad to not meet you after all this!! Last night it was snowing, and although we had expected a storm yesterday morning, it seems no one expected this snow...I have driven through major storms, but last night's commute home was scary. Slippery, with accidents EVERYWHERE, cause they didn't think to treat the roads once the storm turned out to be a non-event!! I saw one into a tree, one into another car, and one flipped on its roof! It's NEW ENGLAND people, how do you FORGET how to drive in snow!!

Anyhow, lots to do today at work and home, but we'll say g'nite later at the very least...

Oh, and just started a WONDERFUL book that I'm bringing along with me, "Wild Swans"...fascinating. I almost missed my stop on the subway this morning, I got so into it!

 

[OKWMEMBER]

We head for Pittsburgh tonight!!!! We got snow last night. Rthree inches in the driveway. I'll post more later.

 

[dheller97]

dizmomof2-I saw your reply from Shirley on the other post. So, should I call you Jen or TIA?

Got the house driveway cleared and the walks here at the office. Wasn't more than a couple of inches. Now, if the winds just don't pick up, all we'll have to worry about tonight is avoiding the white tail deer on the drive to Sioux Falls.

Have a great day!

Good morning - 31 hrs and 50 minutes!

Kim - sorry to hear about your DH's accident. Hope he's fine and there's only minor damage to your vehicle.

Princess Jilly Bean - college will be sooo much fun. Just remember to do some studying too.

Renae - brrrr! Warm up that Florida air for us cold northerners. We're counting on you. Better throw some more long pants and sweaters into that suitcase everyone.

 

[The4OfUs]

Thanks for the movie list!! THere's a few on there I want to see, and a few the kids have yet to see, yay!!

2 1/2 more hours of work....eeep!!!

 

[dheller97]

Thanks for the list, Dorie. There are several there that we haven't seen

 

[kmc33]

I am too wound up too. I feel like I still have a ton to do!!! Stayed up late and got up early this morning. It won't be long now... I just hope I can get everything done in time and still get some sleep tonight!!!!

 

[kmc33]

Thanks for the movie list, Dorie. I think Calendar Girls looks like it might be funny. DH saw Under the Tuscan Sun on his flight back from Italy last week and said that he thought I would enjoy it.

I can't wait!!!

 

[The4OfUs]

Those are two I really want to see, Kim. And Veronica G. - but I love Cate Blanchett, so that's why with that one (that is the one she plays an Irish journalist who gets killed, right?)

 

[KofPShannon]

Did I miss the movie list?

Drat that speed reading.

"Under the Tuscan Sun"

is pretty good. The scenery is spectacular. You should see it just for that. DBF and I were in Tuscany about 5 years ago and it IS just as beautiful as it looks in the movie.

OK Grandma Cheryl, we'll hold the boat for you and Dorie. No dawdling, now!

31 hrs and 4 minutes for me!
