Something About Nothing..........# 10

[Bluer101]

Good morning. We are up and going to catch the shuttle to seaworld. Still forecasting rain but want to go and get it out if the way. Talk later.

So we are back from our mini beach vacation as of last night. I think I have my DH convinced that we should look into buying a condo there in Sandestin. Told him we could rent it out when we were not using it to help pay the mortgage. Don't know anything about that kind of thing though, so need to research it.

.

homeowner's insurance might be a big hit in FLA beach area. I agree with miserable heat in the summer, but u could always purchase & go the snow-bird route, then rent it out.

Happy Canada Day to our homies in the North..........!!

we were in cleveland this weekend to do rock & roll hall of fame for the rolling stones exhibit, then the NFL hall in canton. It was really crowded in town, everybody we spoke to at our hotel was from Niagara Falls who said it's too crowded in town on Canada Day.

mac is that a bigger plane?

andy - until you actually leave for the trip i'm betting you'll contine to fine-tune it.

we really like SW. Reviews for much anticipated penguin attraction not exactly stellar. Curious to see what you think.

Jr asked me to bake a ham today, since he held down the fort this weekend guess it's on the menu. If i play my cards right, can have leftovers tomorrow and then do cookout on 4th of July. I love leftovers.

maybe there will be a huge umbrella over SW today so you don't get rained on.

morning and welcome back keisha!

sounds like a fun adventure.
hope you took pics of R & R hall of fame.

my sons went there and thought it was kewl.


i like ham.
save a plate for me.

2 in my family will be at Kelleys Island for the 4th.
with them gone, i will finally clean out my closet.
i know i have vacation items in there that i need to pack for the fall trip.

when peeps in my household go out of town for 4 days, it's like a mini vacation for me.
i order food out, sleep late, my idea of a great party ......



on Sunday, the sewer line in our basement backed up.
ick.................is all i can say.

after 2 nights after cleaning the bsmt, we no longer have the ammonia/ sp smell........

the only good thing about that is i can't do laundry until it is taken care of.

had one company come this morning but it wasn't going to work out using them.
they left and i called another plumbing place.


now i sit here today and wait until they call to tell me they are on their way here.

gonna be one of those, hurry up and wait, days.

I am back to the real world!

On Sunday, the horse I ride, (Captain Morgan) stepped on my foot and now I'm all black and blue.

It's a good thing I love him and knew he didn't do it on purpose.

And now it's "Camp NaNoWriMo" (an unofficial National Novel Writing Month) and I've got lots of writing to do, especially since I missed yesterday!

There's actually nothing to fine tune. Just saving up money to buy park and HHN tickets. It feels weird.

The ride and queue are not anything spectacular. Very bland and poor crowd control. It looks like a flop on Seaworld. It could be a lot better. I liked the old exhibit where you can just go see them better.

have fun and take sunscreen with youse.

maybe there will be a huge umbrella over SW today so you don't get rained on.

The rain is threatening right now. We are eating lunch in sea fire inn. Going to catch Believe shortly. Already did the main ride attractions too with photos and frames for DS

Talk later everyone.

Bluer glad to see you are still having a good time. We like the shows and rides at SW, though will get the new one when we come in December. I hope the rain holds out for you. We have been gray these last few days, but the sun is out right now. Wahooo!

Mac, sorry to hear of your sewer issue. Eewww! Hope it gets fixed soon. I love the idea of no laundry, but then would have nothing to wear eventually.
I actually don't enjoy doing laundry.

Andy, save and save. I am. Can't believe how much DL, USH and SDZoo will cost us, not including food. Expensive trip for us to the West Coast.

Muggy is here to stay. It is so humid out, I almost wish it would rain, but to be a heat wave again, with high humidity. I am staying inside with the AC running. Too hot!

And I'd like a slice of ham too! Too hot to cook, so maybe Chinese tonight.

 

[Bluer101]

It just stopped raining. It was fine with our ponchos. We watched believe in the rain.

Man I hate when horses step on my feet. It happened to me not too long ago but luckily no damage. Sorry to hear you got hurt

I rode on Sunday too! I was put back on a horse I fell off of in February.. I was a bit nervous but luckily he's a super lazy guy and the half hour was me struggling to get him moving! Still haven't gotten the courage to canter since that fall though

Do you ride English or Western? I've only been taught English but I do love going on Western trails when I get the chance!

 

[macraven]

you fell off a horse?




ouch !


did you fall on your butt?

Fell!

Speaking of fell, first thing this morning after arriving at SW we were going to hit Manta first. Well after the bus ride I had to go to the bathroom before riding. Well it was raining lightly and when I stepped 2 feet into the bathroom right behind DS, I ended up slipping and falling on the floor and into the wall.

DW saw the whole thing happen and ran over. I ended up hitting my right shoulder on the wall, right hand into the wall or floor, and skinning my knee on the floor. Lets say it happened so fast i could not think. I did not notice my knee bleeding until after going to the bathroom, after the fact shock. Ended up doing the whole day there a little sore though.

I kind of did, actually! Fell onto my hip and the rest of me slammed down after (on my side). The wind was knocked out of me and I couldn't breathe for what felt like forever (probably 10 seconds).. It was the first time I wasn't able to get right back on after falling. I managed to drive myself home but I could hardly move the rest of the day and was sore for about two weeks after!

just reading what you posted, i can feel that pain.......


horses are tall, that had to be a long fall you took.


getting the wind knocked out of you is a scary thing to go through.


hope that doesn't happen again.

that had to hurt.
you probably were so taken back on how quickly that happened.

i'm glad you didn't break anything.

are you still sore?
crossing my fingers that you are able to get a decent rest tonight and not sore in the morning.

Yeah he's a decent sized horse so it was a long way down- didn't take me very long to hit the ground though! It was quite scary; I felt extremely disoriented afterwards. I hope it doesn't happen again, but unfortunately falling is an inevitable part of riding

i'd invest in super glue and have my butt secured on that saddle.......



you're a good experienced rider, hopefully this won't happen again in a long time.

horse back riding is fun.

 

[kittengal13]

Ouch!!

So so so tired today but going to my dads University Graduation Ceremony today- he passed with a first class honours degree so we are all very proud!! Will have to give myself a shake and get dressed today- it's a formal event so will have to wear high heels, my feet are hurting just thinking about it

Youch!! Falling is never fun!! I had a mare take off on me three times in two weeks, and I fell two of the three times. After that third time, I didn't trust any horse until Kelly found a chestnut quarter horse gelding named Zack. He was lazy as could be and became attached to me. I felt safe riding him, DESPITE the fact that he easily spooked. I guess because his spooks didn't last more than two seconds and he wasn't doing it because he was in a bad mood.

I ride English, too. I've gone Western trail riding in Quebec, Florida, and Grand Cayman. It's definitely fun, but I think I prefer the English saddle.
