Pickle part III

Hi, girls. I'm sitting here having a heart attack watching this Hawks game. Down 2-0 and now tied 2-2 with intermission before the 3rd period. I'm too old for this nonsense.

Ha! I'm such an avid reader. I have four bookmarked.

Sounds like you need to do a sweep.

Tell me about it. I had to leave. I get a tad vocal when I watch hockey. It's serious business.

I'm home all alone (Andy's team that he coaches is playing in the championship of the baseball tournament they are in, Mark is on his way home from umpping and Markie is at a friend's house drinking and watching the game...like he needs an excuse to drink). So I'm sitting here screaming all by myself and my dog is looking at me like I've gone off the deep end. I don't care...as long as we get the SWEEP!

Agreed! I think I might pour myself a beverage, too. Just because it's a long weekend and I can sleep in tomorrow.

I'm about ready to start supper. We're bbqing and I need to get the taters, onions and mushrooms done. I am starving! All I had was a salad earlier - not enough to feed a rabbit. That big ol steak ought to fix that. yum!

Oooh...that sounds yummy. All I've had all day is an ice cream sandwich and a beer with my son. I'm making BLT's when hubby gets home from his game (he was 90 minutes away where he umpped today).

SCOREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woot!!

 

[KatMark]

Hawks win! Hawks win! Hawks win!

Sweeep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Pickles!!!

Happy Victoria Day, Tracy!
Hope you are enjoying your long weekend...I'm living for Friday at 6 when my long weekend starts!

Got to see Janet for a few hours yesterday. We met up at the outlets with our girls for a few hours

Hope you all have a great week...off to check out Kathy's pre-trippy. I need to pass the time until my cruise...getting VERY antsy.

ETA: I forgot...I have tried that strawberry soup at 1900 Park faire. It is good, but different..It's a cold soup...I tried it as regular soup at first, but then saved the rest for with desert. I'm not normally a fan of cold soups, but that was pretty good.

 

[LuvvsMickey]

Hey Heather. I imagine you are getting antsy! Getting away anywhere is exciting! We are up in the air right now with our summer plans. They change from day to day almost. So many options but only so much $$$ to play with. All I know is I want to see my best friend. I miss her so much! It has been too long.

See, strawberry soup is just wrong. Soup is hot. That's why it sounds so gross, kwim? Why don't they pour it into a glass and call it a smoothie for pete's sake!? Speaking of smoothie, I'm gonna make me a strawberry smoothie or a daquiri very soon. Hrm... decisions. Pretty sure it's going to be the latter. hehehe

Make sure it is a strawberry daquiri...it will match your skin.

lol Yes it will!

Hey Pickles!
Hope everyone has a great memorial day weekend.

No special plans here ... just working on some school stuff, working around the house, in the garden, etc.

As Heather posted, Sam & I met Heather and Martina at the outlets last Sunday - we had a great time Shopping, eating, being with friends, what's not to love?

My company just moved to new offices, so we have been getting settled in all week. I love our new location, it feels like a "real" office again (the other building served as the manufacturing plant for Sperry Rand and modified to offices years ago). I have a great location right in front of windows

I've just been notified that the yearbook (which I have put some much of my blood, sweat, and tears into) has been shipped, so I will get it at the end of next week - I'm on pins and needles - I can't wait to see how it came out! I'm terrified and excited at the same time to see it!!

Re the Strawberry soup at Park Faire - I tried it last year, not a fan of cold soups either, but I did like this one.

K - I have to check out your PTR
Take care all!

Morning, Pickles!

Hope everyone is doing well... Kathy, know you are big time celebrating the Blackhawks win - my dad is dancing in heaven for sure!

Tracy, how's the sunbun? You must be something, all tan and slim!

Heather, not long now for the cruise - you must beside yourself with excitement!

Kelly -Is school out this week? Think of Emily everyday and hope she the headaches are a bit better. Thanks so much for the Caringbridge updates. When are you going to visit the NC College? College - how is that possible???

Janet - know life is incredibly busy right now - we'll catch up soon. :yes::

Happy almost TGIF!!

How am I? Well, I finally am able to log on the Dis, as you can tell, and I am highly annoyed right now. I can log onto the resorts board but not the dining board. We have recently scored some good news and Mark will be getting a bonus in December. Good things come to those who wait, so we have a late August trip to Disney in the works provided they will advance his bonus early. I've been trying for two weeks to snag a ressie at Le Cellier and it is booked solid. Not fair that a Canuck can't even dine at her own pavillion. Also, I just ruined a perfectly good salad by putting a raspberry vinaigrette on it. Yuck. I should have tasted it before I poured it on. Into the garbage it went - the dressing that is. I am choking down the salad.

My sunburn is gone but am peeling like a snake. I am by no means slim but am down thirty something pounds. I gave up weighing myself because I am not seeing the numbers drop as quickly right now. I have to change my exercise routine I guess, as I still have 40 some pounds to go. Ugh. And no, that isn't a lot, trust me. I need to drop three sizes and due to inherited thunder thighs from my mother's side of the family, that's easier said than done!

Other than this, that's my life lately. I'm exhausted today because of the game last night. My Blackhawks won so it was worth it!

 

[Minnie&Nana]

How crazy that you cnanot get on the dining board - what the heck? BUT how wonderful that you all are going to Disney in August again!! Were you able to take advantage of the free dining?

Good luck on getting Le Cellier - it's difficult to snag anyway, so must be even that much harder during free dining - fingers crossed!! Cassidie must be so excited!!

I was up watching the Blackhawks win too - Chicago is my hometown. My dad is dancing in heaven today! Now if the Cubbies would come through one of these years, it would be just about perfect!!

 

[LuvvsMickey]

I disabled an add-on on firefox and am now able to get in. Was very strange. Sadly, no cancelations for Le Cellier. I won't give up. It does make me mad that people book it months in advance "hoping" they might take a trip to WDW while others who "are" actually going can't book because the tables are all booked. There has to be a better system. Yes, we will take advantage of free dining. We aren't going to New York this summer because this is a dual trip with my BFF and her family. Cassidie does not know, nor does anyone else because it is not confirmed that we can get an advance on the bonus. Fingers crossed for sure. Flights are really coming down as August approaches, so that's a bonus too.
