Singles Social Club: It's Always 5 o'clock here!

[Andrew015]

Hey everyone. Haven't been on much this past week. Work has gotten a little crazy. But glad to see some new faces, and that everyone seems to be doing well. We've had some really nice weather (as far as Decembers in Cleveland go), so I've been spending more time outside than on the computer.

Productive weekend for me. The yard is finally done for the season, all the leaves are up, all of my gas-powered toys are winterized, and Christmas lights are done. Helped my brother get his new snow plow mounted on his pickup truck (hopefully, he doesn't need to use it anytime soon... yeah right), grocery shopped, cleaned, got a haircut (marine corp style) , and I think that about sums it up!

Welcome to all of the new folks to join the fun! I think I even see some new Ohio-an's!

My family lives in Cincinnati and my mom is trying to get me to come up for Christmas. It's too cold!!! I told her to come down here, it's way more fun and not as cold. Sadly, both of us have to work around the Christmas days so neither of us have time to travel. Glad to hear the weather is better. I went to the Rock and Roll hall of fame one time in winter and I swear it was the coldest weather I've ever been in!

No rum for me, but I'm sure the won't mind taking up my slack

After the parade yesterday (which was not candy-less), we went to a chili cook-off (where I supplied mac-n-cheese since my kids aren't big chili eaters) and just generally got to hang out with friends Today we are shooting for a quiet day, getting ready for our last 2 weeks of school before the (much anticipated) break.

I'm sure he won't! haha.

Sounds like ya'll had a blast!

Thanks, I hope so!! No rum for me but I'll take a diet coke!

I'm enjoying a nice, lazy Sunday to get ready for the work week ahead. I helped a friend move across town yesterday so I need a lazy day today! Getting ready to watch the Sunday night shows.

Coming your way! If ya hadn't figured out I'm the resident bartender/painter.

Those days are always nice. Moving sucks though!

It has been quite some time since I popped into this thread, but I want to share some exciting news with people that I know on this thread.

For those who are connected with me on FB this will be old news. But at the end of December I will be moving to Tallahassee to begin a new job in early January. I can't wait to start the new job as well as being 4 hours away from WDW after I complete the move.

Congrats Dave. . .glad you got what you were looking for. . .

 

[nurse.darcy]

Oh well, no big event for me today. Too many people to deal with. I'd do it in the future if I was one of the invited people, but crashing the party wasn't worth it.

Brad, my dear, don't make me come over there and give you a piece of my mind.

I think he was streaking.....

I have a feeling this is going to be a long week here at work!!!

Haven't been in here for a while now but thought I'd drop back in!

We just had our first snow of the season over here in N.Ireland... Again it makes the news as everywhere grinds to a halt! One of the airlines had their hands full at Belfast City Airport when their de-icing machines broke down and their early departures were all delayed!

 

[Wasre]

I guess I should pop back in before my next trip back down to the World. Yes, I just got back from there and am going again in just over 6 weeks time. I guess I just can't get enough of the place.

So, what's good to drink in here. I see the rum's gone....Why is the rum always gone? Oh, that's why....

the rum is never really gone, the darn Pyrate just keeps it locked up and doesn't share..

Holy cow, I just looked, I leave in 16 days, woo hoo!

Well, yay! I leave in 3 days now.

Hopefully, the great temps will hold. Last year,I was freezing every limb off.

Someone posted about stayng up for hours on end; my worst was 44 hours. I could not go to sleep the night before, had ot get up early for the flight and just stayed up. A friend of mine wanted to go to Jellyrolls the day I got in, hence the 44 hours.

When I got back to my resort, I looked like hell froze over!!!

The absolute worst for me was probably about 4-6hrs sleep in a 84hr period.

I was working staff at a large Sci-fi/Fantasy/Gaming convention back home in Atlanta when I was 18. Unfortunately, I was basically pulling double duty that year..... Convention staff... and also my company representative since I had talked them into sponsoring the convention track that year.

needless to say, a lot of details are kinda blurry.... but I do remember that towards the end of the period before I was finally kicked out of the room and forced to get some sleep I literally could no longer tell if I was awake or dreaming.

omgosh! that is rough.

I always have the bad (or good, depending on how you look at it) to pack as much as possible in my disney trips. What I forget to schedule in, is sleep.

I think I might have done the same this time - between D23 events, Moustacular, AllEars, WDW Today, DISPalooza for the private Harry Potter event, seeing my goddaughter...I fear I will have no sleep at all!!!

And I still have to look for my vinylmations.

Besides, all that, how is everyone doing?

hey my little jingle bells...
so I realized that I have been slacking on my posting but I have an excuse....I had to spend two days in Jersey Shore, PA (which is no where near any shore of NJ) to teach a class for my boss. then I got called onto an emergency response up in Towanda, PA (trust me, you want no part of being up there) this place was between NO and WHERE. the response was supposed to occur on ......THANKSGIVING DAY!!! so after I called the company that requested us every name in the book, I stayed in PA for most of Wednesday (yah know..the busiest travel day in the world...) only to find out that the response was canceled and I could go home. unfortunately I found this out at 1:00 in the afternoon. so what should have taken me 4 hrs to get home ended up being 6. it wasn't bumper to bumper complete stop traffic, it was just volume. so I spent most of my weekend getting re-aquainted with my bed. the only time I left my house was to hang with my bff who had homemade egg nog.
fast forward to this weekend, I went into Princeton to visit a friend of mine that had surgery and laughed until I cried because he was so drugged and and would break out in random song. Sunday I took my Godchildren to see the Muppets and yes, I laughed way more than they did.
I'm in a training class for the next 3 days (continuing education classes can be somewhat boring at times...) and as a matter of fact I should be doing my homework now. I just needed to check in and say hi to everyone including our new friends!
FYI, ladies, I have done not one ounce of shopping BUT!! I do have my outfit for my office party so I am at least good for that night.

The sad thing Is that I know EXACTLY where both Towanda and Jersey Shore are. My Department handles the cable systems in Both areas. (Actually.... Towanda is so Middle of nowhere we don't even have any Fiber running up that way, so we are more like middlemen since it is a completely stand-alone system running off a national satellite platform.).


And Wednesday traffic was NUTS! To make matters worse, not only was there non-stop construction on the NJ Turnpike, but the cops were out. I still managed to make some good time (about 5hrs from my apt to my destination in CT), but nowhere near as good of time as I'd normally be able to make.
