WOW, quiet around here today!!! Chris has been working on our master bath remodel today (but it's very slow going). Otherwise, we've just been busy around the house with cleaning/straightening.

 

[cherylp3]

Hi, went to 2 shows at millionaire today. They were packing them in!
Each show today had a different "Host" - Some CM's were having their friends and family stop in. We ran into Jeff.

On our way out we caught Francis Floot hosting the funniest citizen of Hollywood contest, it was hilarious! It really made me laugh and kinda made my day. I wish I had my camera but we didn't.

Hope everyone has fun this weekend.

Greetings everyone. Back from another fun day at the fest! Good food, great music, and no rain today. A wonderful day.

Tomorrow we start with Mass and then get into the fest for free (you bring non-perishable food to Mass and they let everyone in free after). We'll only stay for a few hours more then some grocery shopping on the way home.

All in all a very good weekend!

 

[RRBB]

Busy day here, so little time to DIS. But it seems everyone else has been busy too. After a little laundry this morning, Ian and I went to the grocery store. He fell asleep on the way home so we stayed in the driveway for an home. When David got home from work he joined us in the car and we headed off to the DIS Meet. What a great time, once again. Ran an errand on the way home and have basically just been hanging out since. David is upstairs getting Ian settled for the night. Whew, I'm ready for a little down time myself now. I'm certainly NOT in the mood to finish the laundry, but if I don't then I won't have anywhere to sleep tonight. sigh...

I'm certainly NOT in the mood to finish the laundry, but if I don't then I won't have anywhere to sleep tonight. sigh...

Yup, this is usually my dilemma too.

Well we had a tense day yesterday. I'm sorry I haven't been here most of the week. It's been crazy here, the sh-t is hitting the fan so to speak. Had to finish up getting loans for the kids for school and found out when DH, Murt, went to cosign that he was NOT approved due to the fact he borrowed via personal credit card money for his business and his debt/income ratio is too high. Since we share the same credit card, I also was not approved.
So dd, Michelle tried for the loan without a coborrower and we think she will get it but she's not happy because it's at 11%, YIKES. I have a home equity line of credit that I will pull from for her for her last two years and told her not to worry about finishing her degree, but this was scary. She's a straight A student but her school does not offer much in the way of financial aid aside from federal loans which she is maxing out as well. You'd think they'd do something for such a good student. Now, my son, Matthew, will have a REAL problem. He needs to find a cosigner because his credit got messed up when he missed a couple payments this spring. He didn't have the money (hard to work when your attending Law School!) and didn't ask us for it and didn't make ANY payment. I told him next time either to ask OR to make at least a little payment but not skip it altogether (how can these kids be so smart and so stupid at the same time, LOL). If he stays at the school he's at he'll be OK because he's got a scholarship but if he transfers to GW like
he wants to and should (they have Law internship interviews at top firms already lined up for him the other school does not) he needs to find a cosigner, probably my brother but he's kind of nasty about it sooooo...and DH has decided to close the business, FINALLY! He hasn't been making any money for some time and we can't live this way anymore, but now he has
to find a job so that is very scary. He hasn't worked for someone else in the 26 yrs we've been married! He has a degree in business/marketing but so much has changed since he graduated. He has some friends he will ask about job prospects so hopefully something will work out. Anyone have a job or an idea for my dh (they call this using your resources,LOL)? Needless to say it's tense around here. I'd better get / stay healthy or
we'll lose our house! Now that IS scary.
All this with a cruise coming up...good thing it's already paid for! Thanks for lending an ear!

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning Member Cruisers

Woo Hoo! We are another week closer to cruising!

We're doing the single digit dance (week wise at least)!

Ilene - sorry to hear you are having such a tough fime.

Oh Ilene - Pixie Dust for you that everything works out just fine. I know all about those scary times trying to figure out how to pay for college. Every semester was like that in school for me. But, somehow, some way, it all got figured out in the end.

And, I hope that you DH gets a job soon. It's so tough sometimes, but just talk to everyone, and you never know where one might come up.

OMG!!!! I am so sorry to hear of your troubles! It's so difficult when kids need us, and I agree about them being so smart and yet so dumb, we have on like that too! He knew hurricane Katrina was coming, but he left his apt. with nothing but 2 days worth of clothes and his cpu! Lost everything, of course. HONESTLY, you could just shake them!

I hope everything turns out ok for you! Lots of love and good wishes!

 

[MaryJ]

Ilene...thinking of you and Murt. Hope things come together for you soon. DH has always had his own business too, so I know how scary that can be.

On to happier thoughts:

We are down to single digits!! Nine weeks!
