I sent you a PM with my email. Who do you guys play this weekend? We have Wake Forest. Our new QB's old school. That should be interesting. The way I look at it, it's going to be a beautiful night for a game, and hopefully our offense can pick it up a little this week.

294 days!! I'm ready to go now. Ok, not really, but I can pretend! We had the same issue with shopping that you had. Not much out there this year. We have looked just about everywhere, and have found very little we liked. Girls are already buying homecoming dresses, so those should go on clearance pretty quickly.

 

[ldb1030]

Yep, we play at 9:30am tomorrow morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is up with that?? Guess I can just say in bed and watch in my jammies!!

I just realized I'm VERY sad! This time last year, we were getting ready to leave on our cruise!! Our mystery cruise that is! Same situations seem to be happening again! Ahhhhhhh can't believe it was a year ago!
We sailed 9/11/04 and flew down on 9/10/04!
Now I'm going to cry all day!!!!!!!!

 

[Husker4040]

Ahhh...don't be sad! Look at it this way, it's only 42 weeks. That will go by in no time at all. We have Halloween coming up in just over a month, then it will be Thanksgiving, followed closely by Christmas! Then mid April we will be making our final payments, and be in the short countdown! See, it will go fast, you'll see.

Why in the world are they playing at 9:30 tomorrow?? That is an obnoxious time for a football game! Ours is another night game. That's fine with me. Our side of the stadium is in the shade by the time we get there.

 

[ldb1030]

I'm TRYING to watch your football game right now if my daughter would leave the channels alone!!

We sure got lucky this am!! They should have won by much more than that!
I'm sure it was because of the E A R L Y start time!!!

I'm STILL sad about being on our cruise a year ago tomorrow! Makes me very homesick!

 

[Husker4040]

I watched your game also! Holy cow. One call away from a loss. Yikes! I'm sure it was the early start. Oklahoma almost lost again. I was astounded at how bad they looked. About our game, let's just say I'm glad we have a defense this year!! They are outstanding! Our defense out scored our offense 3 to 1.

Don't be sad! Only 290 days until our cruise. It is starting to go pretty fast. I have to start thinking about about getting my house ready for fall, it's coming on fast!

 

[ldb1030]

yeah, my cats aw: can't play anymore games like that! I just can't take it!! They are off this weekend thank goodness!!!

Time IS starting to go fast now! Still can't believe we have so few people on our ship that visit this DIS board!

 

[Husker4040]

I know what you mean about not being able to take the close games! We need to find an offense, and soon! Maybe this will help.

We'll just have lots of room to spread out! More food for us!

 

[ldb1030]

Okay, this time last year I was SUPER depressed since we had just finished our "mystery cruise"!!

Went to JC this weekend! Since my Cats aw: had the weekend off, I did not do too much panicing! Did you guys win?

 

[Husker4040]

We won, but by the skin of our teeth!! We have GOT to find an offense somewhere. Our defense and special teams won this one. We won 7-6, and won by blocking a last second (literally, one second on the clock) field goal. I can't take any more games like that.

How was JC last weekend? I would like to get back there one day. I think one of DH's truck things happens down at the state park in Manhattan. Maybe one day. I'm getting ready this week for my folks to come home from vacation, and my inlaws to arrive, all on the same day.

283 days and counting! Any good flight deals? I haven't had time to look. Maybe I'll call my TA.

 

[ldb1030]

Not any good deals yet! None that I would take anyway!

Still feels like summer here!! JC was fine! Actually spent all of Saturday in Hillsboro at that huge craft fair! I go every year with one of my sisters!

I'm working every day this week which I'm bummed about BUT it's more $ for the cruise fund so I can live with it!

 

[Husker4040]

It's going to be VERY hot here today, but then fall like weather going forward. I'm ready. Unfortunately, it is then followed by

I'm with you on the work! I never intended to go back to work full time, but here I am. Oh well, like you, I figured it was more money in the trip fund, and got over it.

I like craft fairs, I can never seem to find the time to go anymore. Oh well. I've still got football!

 

[ldb1030]

Okay, I feel like I have not posted in forever!!! Working 5 days a week does NOT agree with me! Glad I'm back to my 3 days this week!

No cool fall weather yet but I know it's coming! Cruise is not far behind!!!

How did your huskers do over the weekend or were they off?
My cats aw: had a great blow out!!!

 

[Husker4040]

We had a bye week last week. Good thing, I can't get my voice back. We start conference play this weekend with Iowa State. We'll see if the offense shows up.

It is going to be cold here today! It's low 60's right now, and that is the high. Temps will be falling into the 50's by this afternoon. Then back to about 80 by the end of the week. Go figure. Just when you think fall is here, summer makes one last come back.

I need to get back to thinking about the cruise. Ok, maybe when football season is over I can get back to the cruise. I have to get my act together and start sending out info and links to the rest of our group.

 

[ldb1030]

I'm excited because my CATS aw: on on TV this weekend and next!
That does not happen too often!

The cruise has kind of been in the back of my mind lately because Jim and I are headed to Vegas for our anniversary in about 11 days so I've been trying to deal with that! Should still be pool weather so that makes me happy!!
When I get back I'll REALLY be in 'cruise-mode'!

 

[Husker4040]

The Huskers on are TV this weekend too. It's a home game, so I'll be there. We have home games this weekend and next, 2 away games, then Oklahoma. I heard something interesting this morning on the way to work. They are asking people to donate their Kansas State tickets to a Veteran in honor of Veterans Day. That's pretty cool. Good thing I'm married to one!

I think homecoming is happening all around town pretty soon. That means the dresses will go on clearance right after that. I need to make sure and not miss that. I think this is about the same time we found them last year. I need to start sending links and info to others in our group, other than that, I have more immediate things to deal with right now.

 

[ldb1030]

Well my Cats aw: bit the dust this weekend! Not even sure it was them playing they were SO bad!

And your huskers got lucky that's for sure! Got to see most of it but had to miss the very end because I had to get to chuch. When I got home my husband filled me in and I could not believe it!

Well the ONLY thing getting me through this week is thinking about leaving on Sunday to Vegas!
Not that I have ANY business going there and throwing $$$$$$ away!!!!!

 

[Husker4040]

You are certainly right about my Huskers getting lucky. The one good thing to come of this game, besides lots of confidence, is the fact that our offense figured out how to all work together at the same time. They could move that ball anywhere on that field but the endzone. Guess we know what they will be working on this week.

Sorry to hear about your Wildcats! I watched part of that game, and neither team looked all that strong. Did you hear about the explosion outside the stadium? How terrible!

Have a great trip to Vegas!! I'll be thinking of you.

Hey guys,

Sorry guys, I have been absent from the boards and from life. As Patti knows, my dad is going through some medical issues and life has been crazy. I hope it won't effect us going on the cruise, and I doubt it will. Other than that, I am trying to get back on my eating correctly. Time is getting short, so I had better get my but in gear.

Take Care guys--Deb

 

[ldb1030]

Deb-hope all is well with your Dad! We went through some stuff with my Dad recently and I know it can be very hard! Sending good thoughts your way!

We just got back from our anniversary trip to Vegas! Had a great time! A much needed getaway that's for sure! We loved staying at Caesars! They really spoiled us! Did not win any money but came home with some so I guess that's good enough right?!

 

[Husker4040]

Deb - It's wonderful to see you back in both places!

Lisa - Glad you had a great trip! I am really burned out right now, and could use a few days away. Since it's not to be, I will suck it up and move forward.

We are having beautiful fall weather here. I wish I was going to be home this weekend to enjoy it, but there is always next weekend.

Wow, we are down to 258 days! Guess I better get this other stuff cleared out of the way, and start thinking about the cruise again. The time will get away from me before I know it.

Have a great weekend!
