... except that I'm trying to watch all of the Starz Spartacus series in one week. I think I'll have nightmares.

Listening to Howard Stern. Johnny Fratto who is a friend of his, called in and was talking (or should I say complaining ) about his 17 month old son and how much work he is.

Johnny was talking about how he and his wife are taking the kids to the zoo. Johnny is hoping he will be eaten by lions b/c he has had it with being a parent

 

[Bushmills]

Do we get to see pix of them?

Absolutely! Will try to get some pics of the wee monsters up tonight.

I agree Maddi - I used to think we were strange by giving them nicknames on a regular basis, until I realized that EVERYONE does that.

Congrats on the incoming additions TK! Keep us posted!

Nice Stern quote Maddi - and good point - in the wild at least they can eat their young.

Almost forgot Kris - we're supporting you guys as much as possible, here in Ontario

Miss Ginger's gaurdian angel is working today.
Very windy here today & a huge pine in the back came down - right on her kennel. Fortunately my boss let me work from home today so she was in the house w/me instead of in her kennel when this happened.

I would hate to think about coming home from work & finding that!

YIKES! Ginger is a very lucky puppy indeed.

 

[maddhatir]

I am SO glad she was not in there!!! Even if she did not get hurt- I am sure she would have been so scared- and she may have ran away

I hope the dog kennel was not included in the sale of your house

I am so happy she is OK.

Adios- peeps- off to throw up the horns at the Amon Amarth concert! \m/ Peace.

Have a great time tonight

 

[Bushmills]

Wow, echoing the comments of every one else - sorry to hear about that happening, but SO glad your pup wasn't there when it happened - glad she's okay!!

Have fun tonight Maddi - don't do anything I wouldn't do.

 

[Kennywife]

Boy that is one lucky dog!

Well, I wanted to post just to see my ticker. Exactly one month from today...

I will be in WDW!

More good news: I may get to go cover Destination D in Sept.

Kenny is soo excited about November. (Our fall trip) He's more excited about the cruise and seeing Harry Potter, but I know he's excited about WDW too. He pretends to not be, but I know him too well.

I may go cover something at WDW or D-Land for the holidays, depending on what assignment I decide on. That's why it's in my ticker. I'm leaning toward D-Land since I did D-World last year, but we'll see. Maybe neither if I decide to wait till Spring break....am I that crazy?

TTFN,

Gabbie (Anna's my writing name)

 

[Kennywife]

Oh girls, I'm sooo excited! Kenny and I are going to WDW Oct. 26-31 and then on DCL the 31-Nov. 4th! I booked our hotel last night, POR. (It's where we stayed on our honeymoon, he wanted to do it again). We're also going to see WWOHP.

I've gotten some ressies already:

Oct. 26—Shula’s 7:45 p.m.
Oct. 27—Akershus—8:25 a.m.
Le Cellier—1:10 p.m. (may make this one later for F&W)
Cali Grill—9:05 p.m. (Wishes!)

Oct. 28—
Oct. 29—Kona Café 9 a.m.
Sci Fi 1 p.m (may move this one)

So far, that's what I've got. I'm gonna do Wolfgang Puck, Raglan Road, and Teppan Edo for Ken. I want to see HOB ( must-do for me) and we're going to MNSSHP. I'm gonna have two costumes...one that's 'park-approved' and one for later.

2 Babies!! That is exciting, double the fun....... and trouble

Yep, and we're really excited about it. The only problem is DH wants to get kittens who both are black & whites (like Samantha), I'm trying to convince him it would be better for them to be totally different looking because we cannot expect them to be like she was. They will have totally different personalities I'm sure.

How scary Cheryl, thank goodness she was not in there at the time!!!

Adios- peeps- off to throw up the horns at the Amon Amarth concert! \m/ Peace.

How was the show? I'm sure you had a fantastic time know your love for the group!!!

 

[TKDizneyluver]

Good Morning everyone!

I hope everyone had a good weekend!

Ours was fairly relaxing, just hanging out on the deck most of the weekend enjoying the unusually warm weather here in the northwoods (well not as far north as Bushy & Kris), but you know what I mean....LOL!!

We really should have done some yard work but chose to be child-free lazy carefree peeps instead. Enjoying the steaks we made on the grill was also awesome!

Hope everyone's week is off to a good start!

Morning TK! Glad you had a good weekend (childfree is always good).

A deck weekend sounds like a blast - especially when we are gifted with one of those "unseasonally warm" days like this past weekend.

I hear you - the Mrs and I had an agenda-o-stuff to do as well, but ended up watching Avatar (which I think took most of our weekend), and enjoying the weather via deck and cocktails.

I am enticed by beef conversations - how did you do your steaks? Marinates? Rubs?

Isn't it strange that putting a "rub" on meat can actually make it softer and more tender?

Still awaiting Maddi's concert report back.

 

[maddhatir]

Hola everyone! Sounds like some of you enjoyed realxing this weekend! Glad to hear it.

I had off today and have been just putting around the house all day doing wash and nothing much else.

The concert was incredible! Filmed lots of clips, but, cannot post them on the Dis- a lot of F bombs I did post one clip on my wall of yummy Johan The venue we saw them at does not have "seats", only bar stools. We sat downstairs at the bar- just above the crowd and had no problem seeing the band. I would say we were about 20' away from the stage.

Friday went outlet shopping in Atlantic City with the goils. Great weather- had fun, as always.

Sat- Karlee's Communion.

Yesterday just ran some errands and I had DH pull into the Cadillac dealership so I can "visit" my SRX that I will probably never get. I just wanted to touch it.
There is something about this little sucker that makes me DROOOOL! Well, I know what it is, I am a simple gal- it is the sexy lines of the vehicle and that little silver piece right behind the front wheel- and of course, it has to be black! I am a sucker for black and chrome.

It will never be mine b/c I cannot bare giving up my vacations, paying off the credit card every month, saving money.........you know all those silly little things in life for a big car payment

Miss everyone!

Miss everyone!

Glad to hear you got a day off Maddi, and that you had a blast at the concert! Though I'll have to take you at your word re: "Yummy Johan".

I know what you mean about drooling at the dealership - even if you can't afford a new car, it's still fun to go in and look around - sit behind the wheel and pretend you're driving your "new car" .

That is a nice automobile, to be sure. While I like white cars, it does look killer in black.

BTW, just noticed your Goth Tink - very cool!

Hope everyone's week is going well.
Cheers,
Bushmills

said "yummy Johan" >>

Yes- I like large, handsome, beasty looking men

Ohhhhh NO! I go to the dealerships on Sundays! No salesmen to jump on you! If I know I can't have the car, I don't want to drive it- it just tortures me even more

OMG- the white SRX is BEAUTIFUL! I have a white car now, so I am ready to go back to a black car.

BTW, just noticed your Goth Tink - very cool!

Thanks! I had the headbanger and people thought I was a dude!!!! A few people made comments and I had to tell them I was a chica! So, I added a few "girly" pics. OK- they are girly to me

How is everyone this morning?

 

[TKDizneyluver]

IT REALLY SUCKS WHEN YOU SPEND TIME QUOTING PEOPLE AND POSTING PICS AND THEN GET BOOTED!!! ARRRRGGGGHHH!!!!

Sounds like you guys had a nice relaxing weekend too! I would really prefer watching the weeds grown than pull them!!! HA!

We had Porterhouse steaks, I set them out for about 30-40 min to bring up the temp, while sitting I sprinkle Lowry's Seasoning Salt on them, slap it on the grill for 3 min. each side, then put on a plate and cover with foil for 10 min. They are perfect every time (however it does depend on the thickness of the steak for cooking time.)

Woo Hoo to days off!!!

Madd so glad to hear that you had an incredible time at the concert! And awesome seats too!!!

Ahhhh,nothing like a day of shopping with the GOILS!!!! (You know I still can't believe our sweet Pete is really gone.....)

Sweet ride Madd!!! I totally agree that Sundays are the day to go look so they don't jump on you as soon as you pull into the lot!

I have been driving an SUV for so long I cannot imagine driving a car. But if I had my choice I would go for the new concept cars, specifically the Mustang or Barracuda:

I am like you, I would prefer the black ones but I must admit the 'Cuda in this pic is sweet red!


Well same stuff different day, the work is coming in pretty steady and keeping my day busy. Have a great day everyone!

 

[maddhatir]

IT REALLY SUCKS WHEN YOU SPEND TIME QUOTING PEOPLE AND POSTING PICS AND THEN GET BOOTED!!! ARRRRGGGGHHH!!!!

Remember those days!?? I cannot remember being booted off the Dis though.

We had Porterhouse steaks, I set them out for about 30-40 min to bring up the temp, while sitting I sprinkle Lowry's Seasoning Salt on them, slap it on the grill for 3 min. each side, then put on a plate and cover with foil for 10 min. They are perfect every time (however it does depend on the thickness of the steak for cooking time.)

DH does the same exact thing- from letting the meat sit out to covering it with foil. He is a London Broil guy.

Ahhhh,nothing like a day of shopping with the GOILS!!!! (You know I still can't believe our sweet Pete is really gone.....)

Yesterday it hit me really hard again. Just thought of Pete and my heart sank. I have the poster in my office too so that is also a daily reminder that he is gone......

I was thinking, Type O "was" my favorite band- besides Amon Amarth- I can't say that any other band I listen to could become a favorite. There is something about Johan's voice an their music so they may jump into the #1 spot.

I have been driving an SUV for so long I cannot imagine driving a car. But if I had my choice I would go for the new concept cars, specifically the Mustang or Barracuda:

I am with you on the Mustang chica! I know you LUV your cars!!!

I already have my colors picked out for the Mustang- white with the black accents. When I first met DH, his mom had a White/black Mach 1! Beautiful- I loved it! The new ones look JUST like hers!

GoodDay Everyone!

Had a great weekend in the US with me friend. Although passing through the border into the US was a little weird. There was tons of guards walking around the cars in line with small hand held devices, pointing them at the vehicles. The guard at the booth had a pager size device that he held inside my window never encountered this before

I am enticed by beef conversations - how did you do your steaks? Marinates? Rubs?

While I do enjoy a prime rib steak, I usually buy the strip loin. Montreal Steak Spice is an absolute must. BBQ 6 min each side. Often accompanied by fried mushrooms with garlic.

Isn't it strange that putting a "rub" on meat can actually make it softer and more tender?

I'm thinkin this may only be the case if the meat is dead
