Hey babes==
HI LAR IOUS! Loved this post!
Oh! And I have a brother who is single...41 this week, works for ABC (which is of course owned by Disney which means he gets mega perks like free park passes). I'm just sayin...
As for shoes, I am on the other extreme end. I wear a KIDS' size 4. Try getting 4" heels in kid sizes!
Ok, so we need to talk. I have been on the faculty at both UCONN and Orono, so if you need help, info, a reference or whatever, please let me know. And Orono is SO not Machias. OMG no. Not metropolis certainly, but not "I hear banjos playing" either. It has a very small-campus feel even though it is sizable. I loved the University, though was not a fan of Bangor, which is the closest city of size.
UCONN (I am a Husky as well, btw!) as you know, is not exactly in the heart of a great city!
UNH would be my first choice for him as well. Portsmouth is such a great little city. If you come up to visit, let me know--I am just up the turnpike a bit.
Tough one, girl. On the one hand, it was a holiday. (All of our practices were canceled here.) But we also have the same rules...if you miss a practice, you are benched (or at least not allowed to start) the next game.
Question--did Treynor know about the practice? (I know that the parents didn't.) But did he? If he knew about the practice and knew what time it started, then it is his responsibility. He then had the opportunity to tell the coach that he was going out of town and would not be back in time, etc.
Sounds like a perfect MK day!
What a great day...all except for the dead animal flesh for dinner part....
Ok, it is final...we are moving our trip back by about a month. Now I have to reschedule everything. I am glad to be moving it back for several reasons, but I am totally bummed b/c this means we will lose Beach Club Villas and the kids were SO excited to be there. There is NO way we will get BCV or BWV since we will now be there during F&W. But again, we will be there during F&W!!!!
Too freakin' funny. That's what you girls are. And fast. Fast on the keyboards.

You'll probably hide him now.![]()
Seriously, I'm such a chicken. Like 41 going on 12.
Everyone ...
Thank you so much for this group. You've been so sweet and generous. And it's worked already. I've got the exercise back on a better track. I haven't even gone after the eating yet and already the white capris, that gave me the "uh oh" squeeze with the pounds creeping back in after success, are feeling so much better.
Thank you all so much.
I'm sorry to hear about the disappointments some of you have been having with your families. Hope things improve somewhat.Or a least venting helped the frustration.

So far we went an looked at Norwich University (Vermont) - totally military. We loved it. Just a *tad* extreme for me personally - I'm waaaayyyy to chatty. They'd toss me out after 15 minutesBut the programs are incredible - and just what he wants.
We've also looked at Fitchburg State (Fitchburg, Mass). I'll just say, it wasn't the right fit for us and leave it at that.
He also wants to see University of New Hampshire - which I totally LOVE. I was all signed up and ready to go there myself, and at the last minute switched to UConn (in state tuition....what can I say?), Penn State-Abbington, Westpoint and VMI (Virginia Military Institute) are also on his list.
University of Maine - Orono keeps coming up as a good match, but he refuses. After staying at the Machias campus this summer during their mission trip, I think he's been traumatized. Too isolated for him..Not that Northfield, VT is a booming metropolis, but...still....it's not as remote as Machias!

We get to go to "Senior Planning Night" soon and learn all about the FAFSA forms, etc., etc.
totally stressful....![]()

I looked Chazy up. Passed by you in July. That same trip ran right into a triathlon in Lake Placid. It was wild to see them run and bike right by our window. As I was eating the freshly made brownies I was given.And I pretend I don't know how my pants suddenly feel snug.

So far today, empty MK... got there around 11:30, walked on Pirates, BTRR, Splash, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Hall of Prez, ate lunch at Cosmic Rays, did Philharmagic, Small World, Buzz twice, Space, had an ice cream sandwich in Main street Bakery, and were out by 4PM. Did Luna Park pool for a while, showered, and now off to Yachtsman's Steakhouse for dinner....
Sounds like a perfect MK day!
