Thank you! I think the hardest part was picking a paint color.I usually stick to neutrals, but I really like the color.
Thanks Andy!Very Nice Caroline!!!!!
Oh, how I wish we had the kind of meters that could be read from the car, it would extend my working years. The town next to us just started installing those type of meters, but nothing has been said about our town doing it. Our town built a very large community center a few years ago www.riverwinds.org so there isn't any extra $$$$ for nice things like car remote style meters......
Well, it's time to get back to the meters, see y'all later.........
Just saw a commercial for Alaska on The Travel Channel, I sure hope DCL start cruises to Alaska once they get their new ships sailing. I am so there!!! I had a friend take a couple cruises to Alaska, he said they were some of the best cruises he and his wife ever took.
www.disneycruise.com. There are cruises leaving this week..
Just got in for lunch, spent the last 2.5 hours walking around in this sloppy mess, I'm pooped, and I'm not talking bricks here people..........
The meters I'm reading today are all outside on the side of the residents homes. With all the sn*w on the ground, it makes it difficult to get to some of the meters, especially if there are little mounds to try and walk up, just think, slip, slide and away, that would be me..........
I go, after work tomorrow, to get a series of x-rays on both of my knees. I know one thing, my knees are quite stiff and sore today.
Reminds me of one of my favorite pictures from our last cruise. It is not the best photo of any of us, but
LOOK! BAKED ALASKANS!
Makes me want some cake!Ok, here is when I started painting...
And finished...
Towards the front...
The floor...
Things went "pretty good". Atleast no one got hurt and no emergencies. A couple of minor things with the little ones especially my son (saw that one coming!) but Ruby was able to manage it. The only thing that REALLY bothers me is that she left the back door unlocked after letting Tramp out to do his business one last time before bedtime. We do have a privacy fence but it's not like my eldest hasn't already jumped over it a few times to retrieve balls that accidentally bounced over off the hoop/backboard- so it's not like someone else couldn't just jump over and come right on in the unlocked backdoor. But other than that- everything went fine with the kids. (well they did "play" with the garage door apparently. That's what they used to get inside- thru the garage SUPPOSEDLY so I could make sure the doors stayed locked and no key was lost- they used the garage door opener.. but from what I hear she was pushing the garage door remote to close it, Robert was pushing the button to close it- so they went back and forth that way until he finally stopped. But someone turned the handle thing that locks the garage- playing around in the garage I guess? Because when we came home and used OUR garage door opener to park my vehicle in there- it made a huge noise and that bar thing is all bent up now. Apparently they hadn't turned it completely, otherwise it wouldn't have opened at all. arrrrgggh kids!)
The show? Well it was alright... remember when I said never disappointed? Well we were kinda disappointed this time so I guess I spoke too soon. Too many things to list out but to put it briefly the show was shorter than usual and some of the "illusion" where you become engrossed in the whole thing was lost because this time they had the audience all the way around a thin stage- so you're watching the show and see people staring back at you in your direction from across the stage. Tapis Rouge was so ridiculous I've put in an email on their contact page (as a member) to find out who to write to about it. Tapis Rouge used to be (as they advertise it) a relaxing entertaining atmosphere with food, drinks (desserts during intermission) and private bathrooms/etc. Well this time it was so packed we were shoulder to shoulder, nowhere NEAR enough places to stand let alone sit, no way to even sample all the food because it was gone so quickly, tons of little kids running around, long lines for our supposed "private" bathrooms, etc. Come to find out I look online for the nights they have left and instead of the normal 2 front sections being available for Tapis Rouge tickets- they now have about 90% of the seating available for it! I'm not kidding, you can look on their website yourself (dallas, thru mid-march). No WONDER it was so packed in there. We'd have been in the minority if we'd saved a lot of money and went with regular seating!
Oh and Jeff's shoulder was hurting him real bad by the middle of the evening. He thinks it has something to do with standing in such crowds trying to "hold" his shoulders in the entire time. It wasn't just crowded in the Tapis Rouge lounge before and during intermission, it was also like a cattle roundup to get in and out of the show tent- obviously because a lot more people were leaving during intermission because the majority of the people were tapis rouge ticket holders! *sigh*
Don't get me wrong, we still enjoyed our evening out alone... but it was nothing like our previous "wow" evenings when we've gone to Cirque Du Soleil and as tapis rouge ticket holders, KWIM?

You know, I really love putting in flooring, as long as it is the snap in kind.
I'm in a funk. I think I have a case of DDCLF, Dreaded DCL Fever.
I'm sitting in my office overlooking the grey dank parking. There absolutely no color except for who ever is driving the electric blue Toyota. It's cold both outside and in my office and the trees look like leafless popsicles. I have a ton of work to get through but all I want to do is look at the DCL picture of the day or my own that I have loaded. To add insult to injury my iPod will play the ship's whistle every now and then between the entire collection of Buffett that I have loaded on it. What is a poor girls to do?
What's the cure gang??????
You will be at SSR in no time at all for a Disney fix!
