And to whomever won't ride HM...I'd make you ride.

It's SD. I'm forcing her on HM when she comes in April.

Oops, triple post.

Negative. If my own dad can't even bribe me into going on it, you're not changing my mind either! My mom refuses to ride it as well, so I have an ally!

Do you have Facebook? If so, send me a PM. I've posted almost 1,000 pictures from my 2008 trip. And I'm still not finished uploading and getting more developed. I got another 6 rolls of film back on Friday and need to upload them soon.

Ya know...I believe it was Thumper who said, "If you can't say somethin' nice, don't say nothin' at all".

So I won't say anything.

What is WRONG with you people?? At least my refusal to do orange team M:S is health-related and excusable.

Claustrophobia is not a medical condition. In your case it's a mental problem.

SD, clean out your PM folder!

It's not the claustrophobia!!! It's the OMG I'M GONNA PUKE MY GUTS UP BECAUSE THAT'S HOW I AM factor!!!!

I did! Sorry, sorry. I go through life with 119 messages in my DIS inbox, and only find one to delete at a time. I'm sad that way.

Yup. That's me.

Oh, the joys of apartment life.... we have ten smoke detectors in here and one chooses to start beeping out the low battery cry now. We've been chasing them all over the house trying to figure out which one is beeping.

I don't have that many but I have a few from a couple of months back. I suppose I should delete them.

Yup. That's me.

Man, I hate that!

Hi guys! I can't possibly catch up so I'm just jumping in. I did see that it was Hilarie with an H's birthday, though, so Happy Birthday!

Hubby is gone back on his way to Iraq. Two weeks went by way too quickly. We had a great time, though.

Disneyland was a perfect winter getaway for us. The first three days were warm and gorgeous, soooo nice after all that snow we had here a month ago. We left Seattle in freezing temps and arrived in LA with temps in the low 80s. Ahhhhhhh. Thursday and Friday it "rained"--- in quotes because by Washingtonian standards it was just a little mist and sprinkle. Which meant it didn't bother us a bit and we spent the day walking right onto every ride we wanted to go on on our "do it again" days. Couldn't have planned it better.

We had a really good second week here at home, although the days went by so fast with everything we wanted to do and everyone who wanted to get to see my husband before he went back. He also had all his little bursts of home repair, boat repair (remember our friend's boat that the carport crashed down on in the snow) and computer diddling to do for us and others all week, of course. That's just him. Always has to be fixing something.

OH! Thursday night we had dinner at my parents house, and after dinner they told us to get lost and the kids could stay. My parents live about six blocks from the casino. Sooo.... we went over there for far too long and came home pie eyed from slot machine glare...but with $3000 because I hit a jackpot and hubby won several hundred on another game. All on penny slots, btw. I went to the bank and plopped most of it on my car loan the next day.

Tonight's a little sad. We'll get back in our daddy-less routine soon, but right now the kids are really noticing him gone and feeling kinda blue. Me too. It was a great two weeks, though.

That's awesome!!!!

We found the smoke detector. Turned out to be in another bedroom so me, my roommate, and another suitemate were attempting to take it off without waking anyone up. Stupid thing got stuck and then my roommate fell off the chair she was standing on and woke up one of the girls. It was all quite hilarious.

I'm off to bed. G'night guys!!

Pics on Facebook if you're friends with me (and if you aren't and want to be my friend, PM me).

I'm so glad you had a great two weeks. How long will he be gone?

He will be gone four months this time. Less than half the time we had to wait to see him on this R&R, so that is cool.

The not so cool is that he is about 99% decided that he will sign on for a second contract. I'm having some acceptance issues with that, but I understand where he is coming from. The current economic situation has decimated his former livelihood. One of the visits we made this week was to the Caddy dealer he used to work for for eleven years. Of 21 techs and lube guys that used to be there, there are 12 left, and the service manager told us he could easily let three more go and keep up with the work that is coming in. He's just trying to keep them working. They are working flatrate, though, so they may be spending 40 hours a week in the shop to make 30. He's going to have to make an industry shift, and we need to get our house payment down before we can take the cut in pay that will come from him having to go through an apprenticeship period in a new field. Staying lets us do that rather than pray we can both keep a job through this economic situation and keep our house.

The silver lining is that the second year contract includes one week vacation at three months and nine months, in addition to the two weeks at six months. So at least we'd get to see him three times the second year instead of only once.
