May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!! Part 3

I need to edit this recipe ." Go to Costco (the $300 store...even if I go just to buy Brownie mix, I still spend $300) get the mix and puti it in the oven.

We actually don't have Costco, so my $300 is safe! But I'm sure I can find the brownie mix at a grocery store.

Have you heard from Tyler's dad about how he is feeling?

He did e-mail me and tell me Tyler seems fine. But I'll find out for myself in a couple hours when I pick him up. My mom is coming to town and will go with me when I pick him up, then we're headed to Chuck E. Cheese! She's hoping they'll have green beer for St. Pat's Day to ease her misery of hearing all the screaming kids. We were supposed to go visit her tomorrow for her birthday, but this is better since I won't be the one having to drive out of town and back.

ETA - I just reread the first post..you are traveling child free!!

Just saw on CNN that Jet Blue cancelled more flights out of Orlando due to NY storm.

gosh, what's with all this weather???

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Had to reschedule miniDISmeet today with Lucy and Bob - lwilliam. All winter we've had an inch or two....today at least a foot. DH is plowing us out and then he'll do mom's house and DD's house. It would figure that we would get the most snow when I had plans to do something fun tonight.

Tomorrow we're going to DD's house for a pet play date. While the pets play we'll be playing poker and dice games and having dinner.

...a quiet weekend.

You are right by my sister who lives in Springfield but always tells people she lives in Eugene as no one knows where is Springfield
[/COLOR]

I do, I do! My grandparents used to live in Springfield, after they moved into "the city" from Blue River! Still have two aunts who live in Eugene, but almost Springfield (off Coburg Road).

Really need to plan a summer drive to Oregon...

Here are some pictures from this morning's leprechaun visit . . .

Leprechauns left shamrocks all over the porch and front walk . . . unfortunately (hide your eyes California people) it snowed!

Sophia had to find them all though . . .

She had a bagful!

Sophia left this morning to go to an indoor water park with her aunt and Amy's cousin. She is gone until tomorrow.

Carol and Doug - we got our Fish Extender today - Great craftsmanship! Cool!

Hi John! Welcome to the thread....we're glad that now you'll be able to talk to you wife!!!

​

He did e-mail me and tell me Tyler seems fine. But I'll find out for myself in a couple hours when I pick him up. My mom is coming to town and will go with me when I pick him up, then we're headed to Chuck E. Cheese! She's hoping they'll have green beer for St. Pat's Day to ease her misery of hearing all the screaming kids. We were supposed to go visit her tomorrow for her birthday, but this is better since I won't be the one having to drive out of town and back.

Later on, let us know how he is....I know I ask my DH how the kids are while I am out..."Oh they are just fine....." then I come home to 105 degree temps....MEN!!

John1....I love the pic of Sophia looking at her glove! So sweet! Funny to think of waterparks in the snow. We don't have any indoor waterparks here!

[Jhalkias]

So sad...

DD specifically requested that "the leprechauns don't" make her toothpaste, toilet water or pancakes green!!

I hate it when they grow up!!

Karen

Ooohhhh . . . ideas for next year!

 

[granmaz]

How is it you celebrate St Patricks Day over there and we don't here? I have noticed it on another US based board too. This year I didn't even know it was imminent till I came on here this morning. Come to think of it we don't even celebrate St. George's Day, our own patron saint!!! We just don't seem to have any national pride!

Mind you we had a major TV charity fundraising night last night - Comic Relief, and lots has been happening all week to do with this. This may have taken focus away a little. They raised £40,000,000(about $75,000,000) this year for overseas and home causes. Excellent, and a good evening's fun entertainment too.

Sorry some of you are struggling with the snow. Hope it doesn't hold up your weekend plans. Love the idea of a pet play date!!! If I had a pet I would join you!!!

 

[Jhalkias]

Oh my gosh! I just now realized the TRUE meaning of that! My new dream job!


Great ideas! Until today on this board, I'd never heard of anybody doing that....I definitely will do some crazy things like that next year.

Hi John! Welcome to our great group!

We have to figure out a way to tell the John's apart. On the last cruise, I was John1, and Vanessa's John was John2 . . . are you up to being John3 John?

I think it is a good excuse for green beer! Seriously, ALL the irish bars, and there are quite a few here . . . Mulligan's, Bennigan's, etc.

Ohio State wins one in overtime . . . and it took a missed foul shot by Xavier, and a three point shot with two seconds by Ohio State to get there!

Sweet 16!

We are going to our High School Basketball playoff game tonight - this is for a trip to the final four. We are doing a "White Out" everyone will be wearing white, and it should be fun.

Hope we have the Luck of the Irish!

I am not a practicing attorney - although I passed the bar and am licensed. I personally believe that lawyers should have to do internships like doctors. Law school teaches you how to "think" like a lawyer, which is extremely valuable, but it does not teach you how to "be" a lawyer. IMHO!

I totally agree. I said that when I was in law school actually. It's funny that they've started to implement that system into other professionals (pharmacists come to mind), but not for attorneys. Law school did very little for us as far as PRACTICAL knowledge goes.

Good question! It does not even register on my radar and if they didn't do something in school, we probably wouldn't even mention it. DS kept getting pinched at his workshops on Friday, which he didn't understand because, as he put it, we're not Irish! They do have fun with it, though. One mother I know died her kids' hair green WHILE they slept and blamed it on the leprechauns!

Ohio State wins one in overtime . . .

Basketball's STILL on??

Happy St. Pats Day everyone!! Olivia and I are dressed completely in green. Poor DH is spending his entire day off trying to dig us out, as the driveway is covered in several inches of ICE.

We did get to Friendlys for lunch though, and ice cream. I got pistacio, which I love, but also because it's GREEN.

Now, that mother sounds wicked!!!

I think I will go for 'Little John' as I am only 5' 4" and 145 lbs. Mind you, in the Robin Hood films, Little John is 6' + and 250+ lbs.
