Every time I hear that someone won on a scratch off, I want to buy a ticket Geoff doesn't approve of the lotto, I like dreaming!

Yay for you!

Well, what Geoff doesn't know won't hurt him. I buy one or two a week. I figure if I don't buy, I can't win.

Connie, it was great. We bought a few extra things that I wasn't planning on doing and brought the rest home and paid some of Mark's doctor bills, etc.

Isn't it wonderful that you can meet such great people here in the Disboards! I know that you and Mark were super excited to get to see Nicki again. It's just too bad that she had to go to work and couldn't spend the entire day with you.

I bet you two were doing a little of this and some of this when you realized that Mark had won $1,000.00! I know I would have been going nutso.

I've heard a lot about Marco Island but haven't been there yet! Great pictures, and looks like a beautiful place!

 

[pinkxray]

I just saw your pictures with Nicki. I guess I skipped the sentence about you not having your camera and thought "Wow. They all look exactly the same as when they met last time" That's what I get for reading too fast.

Marco Island looks like a great place to just relax. Although doing laundry doesn't sound like much fun.

It sounds like you had a blast meeting up with Nicki. I can't wait to hear all about the rest of your time together.

I'm with Mark on the coffee. I can't stand Starbucks coffee. It taste like there is dirt in there or something. I love Dunkin donuts coffee although I haven't really had any since I got my Keurig maker last x-maslove:keurig, best appliance ever made)

We had our chance to spend a whole day together -- we went shopping on that Saturday (I don't want to give too much away).

I was literally squirming in the car I was so excited and I kept giving him big smooches!

Marco Island is beautiful. I wouldn't want to live there (I'd rather live in Naples), but the Island is very nice and a great place to relax for a week or two.

Don't worry...I do that all of the time too...I read too fast and miss something important. Well, I didn't mind the laundry because I'd had enough sun the last couple of days and I tend to break out with sun blisters...so a day out of the sun for me was an okay thing.

Our times together only get more interesting.

See, I hate Dunkin coffee -- I can't stand walking in the place because the smell actually makes me nauseous. I don't drink my Starbucks just as coffee; I always have cappucinos so I'm not tasting the coffee as much. One of these days I'm going to get a Keurig.

So happy you guys won $1000, I love those things but the only thing I win is $50 but crossing my fingers to win Mega millions one day and the first thing I would do is Disney for a couple of weeks...luxury style of course
One can wish.
Love your update.

On the road...leaving MK but heading to Nicki:

Where is that at??? Never seen it!!!

We had to stop for gas, and we saw these odd birds. I really expected them to walk right into the BP store:

Mine Mine Mine!!!

 

[marvali]

Where is that at??? Never seen it!!!

Seriously? It is where World Drive comes off of I-4. There is a substation there with this "hidden mickey."

Google Mapped it...and there it is...mislabeled as 5 Star Tractor and Equipment...but it's there.

Never been that far South on World Drive...usually get off at Irlo Bronson Pkwy...or earlier...never been that far West on I-4 either.

Markie coached his younger son in wrestling at the youth level and we have become very good family friends. He's already told us to just give him our dates for next year and the condo is ours again.




Yes, you did tell me your Yankees would win today. I am still hoping they win it all (I do love Kerry Wood).

My youngest son is also named Mark. Do you call your son Markie all the time - or is that just to differentiate him from Mark on your TR? I call my kids everything but their real names most of the time. - Our Mark is Mark-us, Markie-Mark.....or generally "The Turd", but hardly ever just Mark. Ryne is Ryne-y, Rynester, Ryne-bone (Mark started that one ) and "The Good Boy", and Sean is Sean-y, Sean-zy, and Stinky... Ryne calls Mark "The Idiot Boy" and Sean "The Stinky Boy". And not to be left out my husband is "The Picker" (Mark calls him D-Bag) and I am "Bully" (which I do not answer to )


My DH is still missing Kerry Wood here with the Cubbies....and every other player who did well after leaving

Thank you. I'm with you...if I ever win Mega, I'm spending a month at the AKL!

Saw Marv answered your question.

And on the "Mine Mine Mine"

I often call him Markie (he used to be Bones and Munchkin because he was always so skinny) and rarely Mark unless I am ticked off at him. And he's not a junior so it makes life difficult at times. Andrew is Andrew to me, although I do slip once in awhile and call him Andy...but I really don't like the name "Andy." He used to be called Drew by my mother and it drove him nuts.

Don't they ALL do well after leaving here....or at least the majority of them???

With your BFF, the marvali family!!!

 

[KatMark]

With your BFF, the marvali family!!!

Well, Nicki doesn't really care for AKL, but she is my BFF! And you said I was too slow on another TR, so I think I'd be too slow to remember the Marvali Family--unless I remembered ALL of them but Marv.

Seriously, if I won the Mega, I'd take a LOT of my DIS friends with me...and we'd have one heck of a party.

 

[that's nice]

That's what I am talking about!!!!!

 

[KatMark]

That's what I am talking about!!!!!

And Ana would get to go to every tea party there is!!!!

 

[SoonerGirl]

What a great condo! And what a great day! Seeing your friend again AND winning $1,000 - it just doesn't get much better than that

 

[that's nice]

And Ana would get to go to every tea party there is!!!!

Ooooh sounds like a good time. I'm sure she would eat that up!


It is great to dream isn't it?

 

[manntra]

The condo is so pretty and I love the location......right on the canal.

$1000 bucks!!!! That is AWESOME!! I think I have won a dollar once. I am so not a lucky person!!

The Dis really is such a great place for meeting friends....so many wonderful people here and everyone I have ever met has been just as wonderful in person
