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

[macraven]

Mr Mad, hang in there.
still thinking of all of youse.

 

[schumigirl]

It's seems just like we just got back and you were leaving. Just keep telling yourself we will be back. RPR is so special in our hearts and they really make you feel at home. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip again.

Yes it`s an amazing hotel. We feel so at home there and we`ll definately be back......only 400 odd days to go

Wow. Did I have an unexpected last 4 days. Long story short....my dad was fishing a pro Bass tournament in La Crosse, WI last week and suffered a stroke and was hospitalized from Wednesday night until Saturday. Dana, my mom and myself drove up Thursday morning (9 hours) and I had to drive him and haul his boat back home last night. Ugh.

My dad can barely talk and has limited movement in his arms. Not cool. He has always been in perfect health and this is going to be really tough. They said with therapy he should be able to recover but that it would take some time. *sigh*

Oh Mr MH.......thoughts and prayers for your dad.
I hope he recovers quickly




Laundry sucks!!!! Got so much stuff to wash and dry and it`s been raining constantly since we got home. Tumble dryer is melting!!

What a trip we had though.

RPR is just the most amazing place to be. They really know how to treat people like they are one of the family.

We love that place. Staff are just amazing and the resort itself is so beautiful. We loved spending time there whether it be around the pool or one of the restaurants or just chilling in the lounge......so nice, and staff are the friendliest we have ever came across. We were so sad to leave, but we will be back next year.......hopefully September.

Parks were fantastic....even though they were busy nothing was an issue with EP. Made the parks a joy.

Loved Despicable Me........I do love a minion........and I just had to get one, well they are so cute. Ride is so fun. Short but fun. I even danced with them when the ride was over, and my son too.

Not sure if I`m doing a trippie, may do a mini one with some pics for the highlights.

So trying to stay awake till at least 10pm tonight then we should be back to normal. Been very tired today.

Hope everyone`s doing ok

Hey all

MH OMG, so sorry to hear your Dad is going through this, good luck on his rehab! I'm sure the fact that his family is rallying around him is giving him comfort right now.

Wow, that time already?

As for Smokey Bones, we have one less than 5 minutes away and been a few times. They are good but we have way too many restaurants too choose from by us.

same distance for us and we have lots of choices in the mall but not my favs lol isn't that how it always goes? living inland few place can churn out decent seafood, especially lobster tail. Say what you will about red lobster but I've never had 'off' seafood there.

Carole - looking forward to a TR even if it's a mini

tracie - beautiful beanstell DH to bring u back something nice from south of the border for holding down the fort.

something really shiney.....

[tlinus]

Im sure its shiny

However I am waiting for tequila. Made the best margaritas ever after his last trip

 

[schumigirl]

I like Tequila......but in a Tequila Sunrise. I can only have one though

I have slept for nearly 3 hours today. Despite not getting up till 10am this morning!!! I`m just so tired and can`t seem to get out of it this time around.

Laundry is washed and piled up......Ironing will not be tonight.

I`m going to have some coconut m&m`s......have to ration them to make them last a bit longer......but yum

Carole...ahem....what was that you said about starting back on your diet when you got home? Speaking of blown diets, I found the yummiest coconut caramel & chocolate cookies at walmart, they taste almost like Samoyas girl scout cookies...I ate a whole pack in a day but it was worth it

 

[schumigirl]

Carole...ahem....what was that you said about starting back on your diet when you got home?

LOL.........someone told me they were no calories in them or white Lindt.......is that not true Like the sound of caramel, coconut and chocolate altogether

(I never said what Monday diet starts ) I do think you have to be in right frame of mind......I`m not in that picture yet

Well it`s 10pm and tonight I have had 1 large glass of white wine, I smallish Acai Absolut vodka (part of duty free) and lemonade, a bag of prawn cocktail crisps (chips) m&m`s.....more than a few, some white Lindt.....ok 5........time to stop I think

Been watching Harry Potter 3 tonight..........DH wanted Shrek but that makes me

 

[keishashadow]

tequila's shiney and will give you visions if u partake of the worm.

shiny, shining, red rum it's all good

carole it's hard to escape the post vacation blues although absolut is a very good start. Surprised you're not watching the olympics. did you see the bit with 'the queen' skydiving into stadium lol and they gave us daniel craig to boot.

 

[tlinus]

Tequila is good

In moderation

Otherwise all sorts of unexplainable events could occur

HAPPY HUMP DAY ALL!!!!!!

DH just texted me from his meeting and asked what the river ride was in Animal Kingdom ....random much? First of all, how did you know there was a river ride there? We have never been there! #2 - What exactly are you guys doing in that meeting there anyway?? LOL

Last night was opening night for Football 2012....they did alot of different workouts this year....all new stuff, and Little Man is sore today. Hmmmph, out of shape much?? LOL

Me thinks its that time to don the sneakers and walk my 2 miles on the track at night while he practices....or i could just sit there. And watch. And eat pretzel m&ms.....Those people at Mars are evil. Just plain evil.

Carole - we all know that post vacation we are entitled at very least TWO Mondays to get back on track....so you are in fine shape

lol.....Yes I loved the Queen and Daniel Craig bit. Not a big fan of the Olympics themselves though. Been catching up with episodes of Little House and Bethenny Ever After since we got back In between sleeping

Not a good idea to watch LHOTP when you`re feeling sad already

Carole - we all know that post vacation we are entitled at very least TWO Mondays to get back on track....so you are in fine shape

woohooo........I like that.......I have another Monday then before I start......now where did I put those candy bags

I was very sad today.......kinda like a come down day when it hit me I`m home and that sucks!!!!! Finished the ironing and it`s all put by, so my house is getting back to normal.....finally.

Hope everyone`s doing ok

tracie - what madness is this pretzel M&M business? I must have tunnel vision going for the peanut varietynever noticed them but they're on my grocery list. Here's a link to the AK boat ride they used to have. I can't say i remember them but do recall the swan boats at the MK.

carole - u need to watch a comedy. I cannot believe you're all unpacked/laundered wow!

my DH is back at work after his surgery. After a week we settled into 24-7 togetherness, gives me hope we won't strangle each other when he retires.

 

[tink1957]

Carole, you need to start planning next year's trip, that will cheer you up.

I just got back from my birthday dinner, DS Trey took me to Little Hawaiian, a great place with yummy food. I had a Kahuna Punch (vodka, coconut rum, pineapple juice and cranberry juice) & grilled swordfish....and a free birthday dessert....pineapple bread pudding with caramel sauce (it was so good but I couldn't finish it all). I'm one happy girl now

Hope everyone has a great week

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

with all this talk of Tequila, I have to share what a friend had me try ... it's a shot of tequila chased by a shot of pickle juice -- homemade pickle juice with a splash of jalapeno ... never hit me hard, never had a hangover ...

speaking of Heinz products

bonny - seriously? just thinking about that combo is making me queasy. Are you supposed to take the shot combo when you're done for the night or the next morning ala hair of the dog? inquiring minds need to know lol

Belated

Restaurant sounds lovely.......like the sound of the food Glad you had a nice time

Next years trip planning has started

Em...not sure about the sound of that one......I`ll take your word on it though

Up early today. DH was away to work last night, so didn`t sleep great. Thought I might as well get up and get some stuff done. It`s my friends daughters 18th tomorrow so need to get some bits for her and a get well card for my sister.

Turns out she had a big operation last Friday and will be off work for about 4 months. She knew.....well everyone knew before we went away...but as I`m still the baby of the family they decided not to tell me till we got back. I understand why they didn`t tell me, but still.

Never rains but it pours!!!

I`m on my 3rd cup of tea this morning. When I`m in the States I drink so much coffee......it`s so nice, but when I get back here it`s tea all the way, I rarely touch coffee.

Have a good day all

 

[thebigkahuna]

hi homies!! no time to catch up, just enough time to say hello!! hope everyone has a great weekend. I want to plan a day trip to US/IOA, but don't know if I can do it within the next 4 weeks.
no weekend plans here - need to rest. time with family can be tiring!!

 

[schumigirl]

Hey all

It`s Friday Off out to our friends house tonight, it`s her daughters 18th so will celebrate that with a glass or 2 of red wine

Got date for DS surgery today, 15th of this month. Was hoping it would be next week but it`s fine. He should still have time to recover before University starts.

Having early dinner tonight as we going out. Doing Teriyaki Chicken with noodles which is DS new favorite dish. We like ours with added spice but him.....not so spicy, so as it comes, out the jar tonight!!

No plans for weekend. Maybe a bit of gardening if it doesn`t rain. DH wants to plant himself in front of the tv with Bud and snacks. I may opt for that too
