An Invasion of a "STRANGER" Kind.... NEW THREAD IS UP!! Go Thee NOW!

[All7OfUs]

You had me LOLing about the slippers and I had pictured in my mind the picture that Maroo posted- fuzzy pink slippers!!!

Still trying to dig up the prom pics...

I passed out on the couch last night about 9:30 and made it into bed about 11 and had the worst sleep I've had in a long time. I felt I was up every hour, I couldn't get comfortable, and I was having the weirdest dreams.

I donno? Hope you are having a great day!

Yeah, it was still NOT running shoes. Whatever they may have been! Add that I pulled a muscle in my chest??? AND went without the "proper attire" Good gosh, it was quite a day to remember.

I totally get the no sleep thing. As I get closer to leaving, the more the "move" weighs on me. Stress= No Sleep. I just polished off 2 glasses of the BEST Georgian wine and am feeling very relaxed right now. I told Mike I needed some vino therapy for my aching chest. Like whoever heard of THAT ??!!

Well, then, come hang out and do nothing with me. Between your happy juice and my Georgian wine we'll be doing just fine. How did everything go, Rosie?? Besides a good sedation?

 

[that's nice]

Maybe you went running in your slippers because you've had too many glasses of wine or too many Tom Collin's!!!! LOL (or is it Collinses?)

I found my prom pic and a few others of my friends which I posted on FB... Here is my SR. prom pic.

Nope. I "ran" at 4:00, the wine showed up at 6:15. Spaghetti (marinara) at 7:00.

I need to get back to the corner store for some more mineral water and OJ. That was a pretty decent cocktail. I, by a stroke of pure luck, found a bottle of grenadine at a store. I wonder what a bit of that added might taste like?

Now! That's a couple to be reckoned with !! You two look smashing!! I like that splash of red!

 

[Millie12591]

Hey there! I did not expect to see you on this late! Sorry I didn't get here sooner. The pulled muscle any better?

See if the girls had been properly supported you wouldn't have pulled a muscle. Not laughing at the pulled muscle.
By the way...we're all at the age where we need to warm up before stretching, it's a fact and a norm to do this otherwise the pulling will commence. I remember Mackie's dance teacher keeping the studio acceptionally warm at the end of season, I asked why so warm. She said when she reached her 30's she found she injured things more easily and didn't heal as fast as she once did so she kept the studio warmer to help with the warming of the muscles better, that stuck with me.
I guess not enough to not have pulled my own hamstring, but then again I wasn't purposely trying to stretch, it just kinda happened while doing normal household things. I won't ever forget it now!

Love your silliness of the slippers, your funny! I read your blog and love the pics by the way. It's fun to see how others live, there are some really tall Asian's in one of those pictures from a previous post. Wow!

SSSUUUURRRRREEEEEE the wine arrived after.

I don't know.. it might taste good.

Now! That's a couple to be reckoned with !! You two look smashing!! I like that splash of red!

Thanks. I was really mad when I showed up to pick up my g/f at the time (the one in the pic) and she had chopped her hair off. It took me a while to get over it. LOLOL

~All seems to be back to normal in the land of the DIS~

 

[Pollito916]

WOW! A fire AND a flood! That's horrible!! I hope everyone was just OK!

Yep, no people or animals harmed in either disaster. Just lots of stuff.

I have to tell you (of all people you'll understand this best); I totally dorked out today, and got about 2 minutes down the street and realized I started out my run in my SLIPPERS@!!!!!!! Yup, just call me a pro!!

What a doofus!

But that's not all!! I got to my first "run" and realized that the "tray tables were not in their upright and locked positions either!!" What I had donned earlier in the day, was utterly inadequate for the task at hand, and things must have resembled that hysterical scene in Roberta, the movie with Ginger and Fred, where she well, is slightly scantily clad and tries to "dance".

To top it all off, when I was stretching before I even started I must have pulled a muscle over my sternum, because it literally hurts to breathe or type or move dead center between my shoulder blades in the front. Is this really worth it??

I'm really sorry, but this had me cracking up! I was also picturing you running in pink fuzzy slippers, and I think I'll keep the picture that way in my head. I have never heard of anyone refer to a part of their anatomy as the "tray tables".

 

[TrayRene]

I've been so busy this week - I hate it when life gets in the way of being on the Dis!

But here's the memory that stands out most:

The valet starts cracking up, and sporting this far too wide grin on his ugly face and says, "Ummm... you might try unfastening your seatbelt."


That kind of thing always happens when you are trying to be so proper, doesn't it? Sounds like something I would do!!



What a cute couple! Your son looks so handsome!

What advice would you give Tate as she waits for her beau to call?

I would tell Tate that she has to get away from the phone and go get the man of her dreams... and I agree - a little lipstick goes a long way!!

We've arrived, my friends, at the very last day of our plans.


I think you are definitely making the most of your last day! Your plans sound great!

You'll appreciate this. I have in my posession a 1st edition 10 volume set of novels written by Edgar Allan Poe written in 1902! I had been collecting them since I was younger and DH found the last one I had been looking for a few years ago. It is my pride and joy!

Wow - very nice collection!

I'm pretty sure I'll start a TR. I'm not a writer, but I think I have a funny bone in me some where and can come up with some humor to entertain.

You must write a trip report!!

Then my dad sent us a generous just because check. He said in the note..Just because and have an amazing trip! So now all the appies, drinks and trinkets I wanted to get, I can now!! I'm a truly blessed woman, no one needs to have those extra's on a trip, but it's nice when you can have a few extra perks. Hope this didn't come off as a brag, it really was meant to show faith in action. God is soo good to me, and I don't even know what I did to deserve it.

I'm so happy for your good fortune Camille!

I can't believe you got two minutes down the road before you realized!! Too funny!! And on top of it - the "girls" weren't locked in!!

I love everyone's prom pictures!

Nope. The pain has migrated to my back- (not this again!!). I see meds in my future.

Honestly!!! I did stretch! Before my run. For a full 5 minutes. The pain started before I ever took one step, so I know it was from the stretching.

Glenn, was it you that said it's be easy to invent 50 excuses NOT to run? Well, I just added one. We'll see what Saturday holds; I'm hoping this is better enough by then to keep up the lame work.

Most of our neighbors are fairly average. You are probably comparing them to teeny tiny me.

SSSUUUURRRRREEEEEE the wine arrived after.

~All seems to be back to normal in the land of the DIS~

It did! It did!! And it's one I don't get a headache from ! I really liked it!

I'll let you know on the Collins.

I hope DH doesn't freak out too badly when I come home red. He gets REALLY irked when I cut it. Long hair is sexy, and all that rot.

The DIS was really making me irked last night. The ONE night Mike gets in bed at a ridiculous 9:30 and I have all to post if I want, and it goes down. What a crock!

Yep, no people or animals harmed in either disaster. Just lots of stuff.

We had some cousins who lost most of everything. They scrubbed Legos with toothbrushes for months with special cleaner.

No, not fuzzy pinks. I don't have fuzzy pinks. But I do have some really cool camel's felt ones with upturned toes!! Those babies are toasty!!!

Next time, I have to be sure to clothe myself properly in ALL areas!

I've been so busy this week - I hate it when life gets in the way of being on the Dis!

lmao:I can't believe you got two minutes down the road before you realized!! Too funny!! And on top of it - the "girls" weren't locked in!!

I love everyone's prom pictures!

Me too, Tracy!!! Weekends are especially hard to find time to get on.

I know! and by now, 2 mintues is like not next door anymore.

That's one hot potato!


Kathy

Haha!!! Good one, Kathy!! You're getting your funny on tonight!

 

[All7OfUs]

Just to let you know:

One of my wonderful friends, Tarzan'sKat, lost her mother today. I'm sure she could use more words of encouragement and heartfelt condolences. If you care to share the love, visit her thread,


HERE


I know she will appreciate your thoughts and prayers right now.

 

[Millie12591]

Hi everyone I tried catching up but the Happy juice I got for surgery today is messing me up some what !!! I am home and doing well other than heavy eyelids !! Good excuse for doing NOTHING!!!

Hope your doing well Rosie. I wish I had known you were having surgery yesterday, I would have been covering you in prayer during the surgery.

Maybe you went running in your slippers because you've had too many glasses of wine or too many Tom Collin's!!!! LOL (or is it Collinses?)

I found my prom pic and a few others of my friends which I posted on FB... Here is my SR. prom pic.

So handsome! Truly, y'all are a handsome couple. I like her hair! I guess it would be a shock to see it short compared to her normal look. Why is it that guys get all up in arms about women's hair being cut? I guess it's a guy thing.

I've been so busy this week - I hate it when life gets in the way of being on the Dis!

Join the club sweetie.

I'm so happy for your good fortune Camille!
I love everyone's prom pictures!

Thank you sweet lady.
I appreciate God's good favor upon our live's. The prom pics are pretty fun, wish I could get to mine easily, I have a serious 80's thing going on with my hair. Maybe I can get DH to get them down out of the attic.

What ever you do don't tell my DW that we are a handsome couple..... (this chick isn't my DW)

I am a long hair guy.. I wasn't expecting a butch cut!





Morning Liesa...

Just got home from celebrating a life of one of our (my friends) best friends who passed away 10 years ago today in a horrific car crash that 2 of my other friends were in as well.. and it haunts them to this day.

Don't mean to bring you down.. I just saw you posted on my TR. I'm headed to bed, see you later.

I think going from long to butch would be shocking- especially on prom night!

Hey Tim....

Those are the things we never understand nor know the reason why. And they do last forever. In Ecuador we witnessed a similar thing and were the immediate "counselors" for a 16 yr. old boy whose father died (car fell off a 500 foot mountain road cliff into yard- boy was thrown at the top, father was not). It haunts me to this day to see a young boy wail and scream for his Papa. I will NEVER forget it. Time eventually brings some healing, but you are right, it never goes away totally!

 

[All7OfUs]

Well, we've come to the end of a good thing. Little by little we've revealed to you the way we see things happening on each of our blank-slate days. I'm glad I chose to use the vast amounts of time to do separate installments; by doing so we've had endless fun discussing all kinds of ecclectic topics.


'At this point, The Master Plan has been mostly set, and since I so appreciated Jordan's posting his final itinerary all on one place, I thought I'd do the same. If there are any changes between now and the time we leave, I'll be sure to post them here. I'll also copy it once more at the end of this PTR, for easy reference, for those of you who actually care or want to follow along.

This is the bare bones version, so to speak, so if you need a review of the specifics (psssst... there's one more game coming before we leave), you'll know where to find those using the TOC, right?? Which by the way, I"m sorry, I neglected to stick those last 2 chapters into. Sorry! I'll fix that right now!

I'm with you on this. Not sure why, but that's the way it is.

Well, then there's 2 good reasons right there to keep mine long.

 

[Flossbolna]

Liesa, I will try my best to get my guesses in tonight. Work is absolutely crazy right now - at the moment I am threatened with a business trip to Cairo! And no, it would not include a side trip to the pyramids...
