What a difference one day make weather wise. I was wearing a sweater at the baseball game tonight. Really windy and cool.

I will be so happy when school is out. Nicholas has seemed to given up this last while and I am tired of yelling at him. Hubby just says it is what it is ,natural consequences when the report card comes home. I know he can do well, heck it was only one percent away from honour roll the first half the school year. :sad2:

Marita-- are you packed yet for you trip. It is coming up fast now.

Kids are off school tomorrow, teachers are getting ready to do report cards I guess. At least I can sleep in. :banana:
 
Vacation will be awesome, Marita!!! Hopefully you'll have some cool weather out there, get to see some cool sights, and have a great visit with your son!

It is SO much cooler here today. Down into the 60s tonight :goodvibes

And I got a little more shopping done tonight. A good friend of mine from work needed to find a dress for her son's Eagle Scout ceremony/graduation party, so she, another friend and I went looking tonight. They both fround some cute things. I saw a peasant top that I had passed up a couple weekends ago while shopping with my sister (because it was too expensive) and ended up getting it because one of my friends had a coupon tonight. It was still more than I like to pay, but they egged me on! I also finally found some black sandals.

Only two more work days before my training trip to Florida and solo weekend at WDW :)
 
Nabbie - You snuck in while I was typing!!! Amen on this cooler weather :cool1:

I think most kids get end-of-schoolitis this time of year ;)
 
Moo, I guess I will miss you on this trip since I will be gone till midnight Saturday (and not going anywhere on Sunday).

I looked up the extended forecast for Great Falls tonight, it says sunshine Monday-Friday, rain other days. I have to call tomrrow to see if the horseback ride and boat ride are still on, since everything is flooded, and also to see if the hotel is even open. Hubby handed me the reservation confirmations for the 2 excursions today, he booked them for July instead of June :confused3

Tomorrow also is housecleaning, laundry, packing, finding board games, shopping and cleaning out the second bathroom that will be redone while we are gone (which is good, since it will save me from having to use a bucket :eek: )
 

Marita - If you want it done right, you might as well do it yourself!!!!! Hopefully, you/he can change the excursions to June?!

I kind of figured you wouldn't be up to a mini-meet over a weekend, Marita. That's OK by me. Maybe we can work something out for January instead when I'm there for my cruise. I had tentative plans with Peej, but those aren't going to work out this time, so I'm just planning to do things solo, which is fine.

That will allow me to hit the Beach Club pool lazy river for a bit on Friday afternoon after I check in, then lollygag to Epcot and/or Magic Kingdom (which is open until 3 AM!!!!!!!!!). I want to check out some of the updated stuff . . . mainly Haunted Mansion and Star Tours. I think I'm going to get the Quick Service Dining Plan for just the first day (since I have a split stay), then mostly snack my way around the world the rest of the time. I may try out Kouzzina, if I can get a walk-in reservation on Sunday, while I'm at Boardwalk. Hopefully my knees will hold out if I take things slow!
 
Moo-- It sounds like you have a great mini trip too. To do what every you want when you want sounds lovely. Usually we are running where the kids want to go.

Marita-- I want to skip the bucket thing too. Are you really going to pack board games? That is going to take a lot of room up in a suitcase. I would go for a deck of cards. :laughing:

Why am I up this early when I can sleep in....:confused3
 
Nab, I ended up not packing any games, and Im sure DS has cards. He is getting his new car finally delivered tomorrow morning, so he will pick us up in his brand new ride with the new car smell.

I got the JULY reservations for the excursions change, no problem. Apparently all is open despite all the flooding.
Got the bathroom cleaned out, but I wanted to clean the kitchen floor too, not happening!

I just took some Nyquil and have to go to bed, as hubby threatened to leave me behind if I dont get up at 5am:scared1:

Did I mention I'm a night owl???????
 
/
Have a fabulous vacation, Marita!

I just found out that ticket prices are increasing SUNDAY :( I need to figure out how to purchase my ticket tomorrow to beat the price increase, dang it! I think I will call and get one day's worth of Quick Dining Plan too. My stay is segmented so that shouldn't be a problem.

TWO graduation open houses this weekend. Oh, goody!!!
 
morning..

I guess I am to late to say safe travels to Marita...and have a great time..

Today after three days of 90s...it is actually chilly....Put on a pair of jeans to go to the hospital lab and have blood taken at 7am....I know..I could of slept in but I woke up at six am......now m-f I would of had to shut off the stupid alarm clock..

Saw a house last night and waiting for info on who will pay for the house to be de-winterized so we can check the pipes.....it was owned by a family that was in the Navy and they closed the navy base so it is now owned by the government...we really liked it...needs to be cleaned and painted....it is nice though....so waiting on info on this and then we will decide if we make an offer or not....I am sitting on pins and needles.....its a raised ranch...three bedrooms up living room and kitchen and bathroom.....and then down is another bedroom and family room....another full bath and changing room for the pool area....it is bigger then we need but I LOVE IT.....fingers crossed.

guess now that I have been fed and finishing my coffee......take a shower...I didnt take one before I went to the lab as I wanted to get there fast..I AM a get up and shower type of gal and then feed me......rofl..
Hope you all have a great day and see you later
 
I missed Marita too! Hope she has a great vacation !

Moo-- Did you get in before the increase? So jealous you going. Not sure what we are doing this summer. I'm sure we are going somewhere with the trailer but your guess is as good as mine. :lmao:

Pumba-- Got my fingers crossed for you. How come the house was winterized? Because they were sitting empty? Never heard of that before only in trailers. And then you just run water though and flush it out.

Hannah had a sleep over Thursday night , Nicholas had one last night. I have had enough for awhile. I don't sleep well and someone was having a party behind us that didn't help either.

Dropped Nicholas off at ball practice now I am off to do the wash and all the bedding. :laundy:
 
when a house has been winterized....it is usually shut down before winter and so the pipes wont freeze...they drain the pipes and put antifreeze in them....but this is hot water baseboard heat as well as kitchen and two bathrooms and a dishwasher area to be tested so that the pipes dont leak....

I took a shower and had to put my housecoat on cause I was chilled....hubby said.....crab if its hot and crab if its cold.....GO FIGURE.....hahaha....sometimes the AC makes it to cold too but I can go to another room and just get the residuals of it....

maybe tonight we can go to the chinese buffet and get some clams and crablegs...havent done that type of food since Cape May and they dont know a thing about seafood.....hahaha......or we could go to the other restaurant and have fried clams which are out of site.......YUMMY...so will decide later on...have to go to our daughters and let out her two monster dogs to go potty...she does it for us when we are late for some reason ...so we shall return the favor.......the other good thing about the house we are looking at ...just open the door and let her out....all fenced in......YES...hahaha

see ya later MOOvers
 
I think it is getting humid again. Looked like rain all day.

Between practice at least 6 loads of wash and going shopping in between for baseball shoes I am beat. Didn't even get the darn shoes. Hard to find a size 13 shoe anywhere. I know they exist just no one carries them or if they do they don't have any left.

We are having a outdoor mass and picnic at Church tomorrow so I hope it doesn't rain. The kids are looking forward to gettng in the dunk tank again this year.

Well better get remaking all the beds before we actually have to go to bed....
 
Nabbie - Yep, I called and got my ticket locked in today before the price increase. w00t! I also paid for one day of quick service dining plan :)
 
:smokin: , hey gang! i am out of dis~jail. [ they threw me in after
making a few professional observations that they thought were
..too negative. funny thing was, i wasn't even trying but we get
that quite frequently ...@ work.


did you like my "dean dean" smilliee? best i could do...


well in less than a week we're off to alaska & the frozen north.
[ i plan on stopping by santa place...& plead my case to get
back on the good-goddie boy's list. hope i don't mess it up.
:scared:

hey let's talk some football? ok, not really except are you watching
what the ncaa doing? ....at first, i had a hard time trying to figured
the angles out...then it dawn on me " :idea:"...it has nothing to do
with standars, rules & ethics...instead $$$$, then it makes sense.

[ i also think the ncaa has been after tressel for his christian views,
for a long time. did anybody saw the t. tbow? interview about this...
very typical...{ you can see the fear all these players have ] but
it couldn't help himself to "hint" how unfair the ncaa is toward players.

also he corrected the interviewer when he did not called ohio state by
it's proper name. [ i thought that was neat on his part.] the ncaa
needs someone who understands human dynamics & the real
purposes for any college activities to set them straight. to me, the
shame is on them for what they are doing. fyi...it is pretty evident
that the coach really cares about what they would do to his
current players,& past players accomplishments...so they are closing
ranks.

what happened to the real scandal?!-like this year gambling/point shaving
scandal for the basketball tourney? * as you all may remember, i have
the 1990 sports ill. that were reporting many , many serious mistakes
on the field, cheating the players. oh, the ncaa don't care about them
except to used every single one! 1990 - remember the texas & ohio state game?

what rally brings their real intentions to light..they now going after the
quarterback, for a free round of golf- that they can't prove except
someone saw him there. think about it. tatoo's & golf? the ncaa should
punish themselves...for their greed. see? this is all about preventing
any kind of $$$ that any player can make, even by their own
property or any other activity outside the school. to go after free
golf, sorta tell how low they will go.

wrong , wrong, wrong! especially when they claimed "ethics".

now while i root for osu, & other schools....i am not that big of fan
except of all the colleges sports. it bothersome to see how the ncaa
thinks nothing of ruining people lives, [ you know, i was wronged by
a snitched and a police dept. that was willing to break the real law.]

oh, by the way...the roof caved in & he is just a bad memory. it's
a great feeling to stand up for the right thing, instead of
compromising. ( they offered me a deal to pay 20$- & i told them
they could stick ...it. ] . i did have the game warden & a state
investigator on my team.]


just so you know, the ncaa is harming a program to protect their greed. if
they really cared for the students , they would stop some the
professional cheating going on. do you know that college football was a
school activity for nearly 40years..without no bowl games or champions?

is it fair? whenthe colleges / special interest groups, make millions every
year..& the palyers can't afford to eat out once a week? per tim t. 's
interview.



sports are a human activities. all activities are valuable to our health.
the benefits isn't acquiring the points, but physical & mental merits
if they are done right. my favorite isn't football, but the soap box derby.
even there, i had major issues with parents that tried every trick in the
book. when it got out of hand, i close it down. my second sport is
going to disney. even there , you can find those with very little spirit
except self-serving behaviors. {we try to avoid, but you can't].
if you ever read my first/only trip report...[nabby girl ] can did,
i have no inhibitions in using my work interventions if needed.

...the real reality...i have learn this lesson many times over, human
beings must have encounters with peers if they are to reach their
good feelings & potential for well being. those that never learn,
we see all the time. so treating others with respect and apprication
to their feelings will result in the same for those that give it.

the reason i felt compel to do communty projects , came from others
that made a huge difference in my life. i could write a book full of stories
by those that not only understood his human principle but took it to
heart. funny thing happened to me that i never expected, the more
i gave, the more i got-like double, triple and even more.

football? remember 2 years ago , they suspended the oregon running back
the punch a byu player? bull! he was taunting him...where i come from
he deserved the punishment. but what really killd me, was the monday
game after that, where the player assaulted ..another palyer...10x worst!,
& they ignored it! remember the soccer player ?! grabbing the girl
pony tail? [ that girl will have problems later on..& it was a miracle she
didn't died. ]

even if you could care less for any college sports, one should care that
these activities are guided by standards for the benefits of those
playing, their family & schools spirit- student body. why? because
they will be our future leaders. so what the next generation are being
taught by the ncaa.....isn't very encouraging. * fyi, sports ill being
sued...because one of the players mentioned, has never had any
tatoo, ever!

i haven't made one friend on the dvc site. i noticed i mostly responding
using my professional presentation because it's needed. moo? there
are some very manipulative/ intrusive ,mean spirted people & they
are the majority. what i am finding out, almost 100
5 dvc workers are owners and are "perking" themselves/families. all
i do is point it out, my goodness, it gets every sneak attack they can
think of. [ they don't like someone onto their games]

if you are a true osu or michigan fan..then you may never say it, but
you have a respect for the woody/bo era. i 'l never forget the first
time after they fired woody, and the writer was trying to taunt
bo into playing on it....bo told him woody could have his "seat"
and was welcome anytime to set on the michigan bench. think
about it.

you know my high school league? oh, you do!...a few years ago, they
made the national news when a coach from one team "worked" some
special magic for a special boy, so he could scored a td. also they
made a movie that included a few teammates when i played...,
"we are marshall"- the player that scored the winning td, was
on our team the year before. [ i was there as our whole team]
also our league has won several state's. [ ohio has players on every
major college]. but one of my favorites story came from our coach
telling it. you know? your brother was a "ball manager" until the second
game of his senior year? [ he did that to get in games free & hang with
the cheerleaders]. after the sceond game, he came up to me & told
me [ coach] , i 'll paly for you, if you let me start. really? you know
the other guys been starting for the last 3 years? "yep- but i am
much better". he then went & prove it. the next game was against
last year state champs. @ halftime, the coach asked how many tackles
he made- "6"-that can't be right!!! & making 6-8 tackles per game
is consider very, very good. this was half. he never played until
then-& already in the third game of the season- in a elite conference,
...and he made the all-conference team.

sports if one really loked @ the best physical values , then the benefits for
the girls are best.

you know i like mental health....especially reality orientation interventions.
and you know that everyone has both physical/mental health? and they
are connected. we "need" to start using "old knowledge" and get
back to the basics if we are going to give good health care. we should
used waht we know is reality, & not what we think..because the risks
are very high-like life & death.

did you know oxygen should not be used for "breathing problems"?
that does not seem to make sense, does it? until you apply reality,
your body is not into maintaining oxygen levels. instead it is critical
we maintain ph levels. we just oxygen. and our bodies have build
in "back up" systems when we have trouble getting oxygen. so if
you give oxygen, you will most likely shut off the back up systems
where the person die. funny how reality can help us understand
how we really work?

well got to go....after talking your leg off- :laughing: , got to pACK.

..maybe i 'll stay out of trouble, but you know how that goes....:rolleyes1

however, i always :thumbsup2 , here, because of the ways you
all "keeping it real"!

:wizard:
 
Lil g-- your a trouble maker for sure. :lmao: Welcome Back ! Are you going on a cruise to Alaska ?

Didn't have to go anywhere near there to be cold last night. I was frozen at the ballgame and I was wearing a hoodie and spring coat. Wish I had a blanket.

I was out all day yesterday. First the church picnic , then I get home and hubby wants to go to Ribfest here in town so off we go to that then ball. I am tired today.

Good thing I don't have to do anything today but get the kids off to school. Not so say I should do some house cleaning but Hubby just got home this morning so I will use that as an excuse not to. :lmao:

So how was everyone's weekend. Wonder how Marita is liking Montana?
 
Hi, Lil G - I have learned to just go with the flow when making DVC arrangements and I don't post much on those boards. Have fun on your Alaska trip!

Nabbie - I hope Marita is having a good time!!! Any day away from work is a plus :)

I'm Florida bound tomorrow. I'll be traveling most of the day, then I have my conference through noon on Friday and after that am off on my solo WDW visit. w00t! I just finished up most of my packing. I have a long layover between flights, so I should be able to rest then :rolleyes: I wasn't sure how close the gates will be and Atlanta can be a pain to get around in, so I figured a little longer would be better. I'll try to upload some photos over yonder. I've decided to just use the camera on my phone and Photopass . . . we'll see how that works!

Lynette and Mony - Sorry I'll be away from our games for so long! I am trying to travel relatively light and am leaving the laptop home.
 
Moo-- knew you were going didn't realize how soon. Have fun!

I guess I will be talking to myself for a few days then, which really isn't anything new.:lmao:

Went to see the school play last night it was cute. One poor little girl who played a mouse fell of the stage on the very last song becaue all came on stage. She was ok thank goodness, popped right back up but it sure scared us parents.

Going to Costco today so nothing exciting happing here...:laughing:
 
Nabbie - I can chat today because I have a fairly long layover here in Atlanta. Flight down was good. Now I'm just chillin' with an ice tea from Wendy's - that was the only place I could find an unsweetened tea but they didn't have any lemon :( I think I'll wait awhile before getting lunch since my flight isn't until 4:45.
 
Sorry Moo we went out to Costco and it turned out to be a whole day affair.

That is a long layover.

Out looking for a Graduation present for Nicholas. We were looking at cheap laptops for school next year. His cousin got one for his birthday so he has been hinting for one.
