I paid 521.00 RT for the four of us on SW. I thought that was a great deal for this time of year.
You don't want to know what we paid! Not much less than that per person! For the four of us was
almost triple that! Good for you!
Val, I thought you would appreciate this. I just had our cable reinstalled after two years. (When I had it taken out I was trying to prove a point to hubby and kids.) We had the motherload of channels and a DVR reinstalled. I'm in heaven.
I was (and still am) the worse addict but they don't need to know that.
WHAT KIND OF A POINT WERE YOU TRYING TO PROVE?!?!?!?!? 
(JK!) I would
never deprive myself of the wonderful, warm glow of TV/satellite/
DVR! Now, seriously,
isn't Tivo the best invention EVER!
I think DVR is the BEST thing. We've only had ours about 6 months now, through Directv. During the day I set it to tape stuff for Emily, and at night usually I'm taping from one channel while watching the other. DH & I have looked at each other many, many times and said "How'd we survive without this?"
We're big time TV addicts at home too.
Oh, we're definitely TV addicts around here. I'm really trying this week and actually up until vacation, to stay away from the TV as much as possible. My 2 addictions are the TV and the computer. I could waste HOURS in front of either of them, and then complain about how much I still have to do!!!
Okay Amanda and Amy...here we go with the similarities again!
LOVE DVR, multiple shows to watch/record at the same time, wasting time in front of TV & computer. That's me in a nutshell! (Does that mean I'm a nut if I'm in a nutshell?
)
It's cold outside. Hard to imagine it snowing anywhere at this time of year - but it does happen. It was 80 yesterday, and when we left this morning it was 38. Now it's warmed up to 42.
Supposed to be this way until Mon. or Tues. then highs around 60. Good grief. Emily is mad because it's supposed to rain & be cold this weekend and now we'll have to hide eggs indoors.
Reallly though, she just wants the candy inside, so I think she'll forget about the weather once she gets the chocolate. She's so much like me, it's scary.
C'mon Mother Nature! Don't you know its
APRIL and not
JANUARY! Seriously, a high of 31 today?!?! This is not a funny joke. I'm just glad we're not getting the Northeast's snow! It's supposed to come today, so you guys will probably be getting more in a day or so. It sounded like Wendy's snow a couple days ago turned into rain for me and then turned back into snow. Not fun for Easter egg hunts this weekend. I'll be
freezing my butt off...but as long as the boys get candy & toys, that's all they'll care about (one of DH's employees puts on a HUGE hunt on Saturday for anyone that knows about it). After the hunt, my mom will get to put up with the sugar high
since DH's company is sponsoring a day at the horse races for all the empolyees and their spouses. Go, Baby, Go!
(OT, but for any horse race fans, Fonner Park is here in Grand Island, and my MIL works there. During the race season, she's in charge of group tickets and blanket races.)
So I've called the passport center to inquire about the applications. Yesterday, I sat through a very long message that eventually ended when it said all operators were busy assisting other callers, and it just HUNG UP! This morning when I called, I pressed the numbers so I didn't have to listen to the whole message again. I was excited when it started ringing! After about ten minutes of ringing, someone finally answered
but told me their computers were down.
"Call back in 45 minutes." I've got another 17 minutes to wait. (I might try early, though.
) Here I thought I had hit the jackpot by just getting the phone to ring instead of hanging up.
I don't think we'll be doing any pirate costumes (other than what they provide--bandana, right?) I'm not going to have enough time to get everything done before leaving anyway, so I'm know I don't have time to do costumes, too. I'm planning an extended trip to Wal-Mart today or tomorrow (I think of you, Amy, and your tag! Yes, I've been putting it off because I don't want to go!), so I'll probably look and see if I can find anything simple there. We have some pirate tattoos from potty training last summer, so I'll probably bring those along and maybe eye patches, but nothing too extravagant.
Stupid Idol results. There were quite a few that should've went instead. Sigh......
!
night. Is everyone getting dressed up? We have eye patches, bandanas, but no "pirate" clothes. I was thinking about getting some t-shirts that maybe I could even get my kids to wear. Does anyone have any good ideas for costumes?
Sarah!! also include which dining time you are (main/late) and FYI not to keep bombarding you with info but most of us late diners have linked our reservations to be sat as a group in the restaruants. once you get the spreadsheet from me, you'll see who has linked, we have requested APL.
SNOWING - thought it was only 2-4 inches. More like 10-12 inches.
All depends on the flight prices.
back to reality - driveway is cleared and now have to go to work while DD gets to sleep 
) the moment the flights were released. I basically said, "honey, I can't deal with you right now you'll have to wait." That's how I got such a good rate.
