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

[Bluer101]

Good morning homies

Getting ready to load up the car and do a few things like getting oil changed in car and come home and try to get some rest to leave at 2am

Drive safe. I heard express for transformers is blacked out on the sign. Maybe it's there until after the grand opening.

ky/St. L......

have a wonderful vacation at the darkside..!!!



i'll be back later tomorrow to ketchup here.

left the house after 1:00 this afternoon to go to chicago.



Mr Mac took off work early as we were doing the Chicago Civil War Round Table meeting at 6:30.
did a boat tour on the chgo river prior to that.
did meter street parking.


then got our car and went to the hotel for our meeting.

for a 2.5 hour parking fee at the Holiday Inn in chgo, the parking fee was $34.00


that is where our meeting was held.


i read about peeps complaining paying $18 to stay onsite at the darkside for the hotel parking fee.

glad they don't charge by the hour like the hotels in chicago do.

but the guests that stay at that hotel do get a cheap rate.
it is $42 plus tax and chgo tax for each night they stay there for parking at the hotel.

The weather was phenomonal and we had a great time. Right now the kids are all vegging out with a movie and I'm having a nice chilly glass of pinot grigio, DH is snoring on the couch, LOL. T-minus two weeks til Florida, Yeah for summer vacation!

That sounds like so much fun! Very jealous. I've been cooped up inside all day because it's been non-stop rain!

I know what you mean. It poured at the house this morning right after I got up and then again around 5:30PM for about 1.5 hours. Constant downpour...roads were flooded...gutters trying desperately trying to keep the water at bay...to no avail. Between the morning and evening storms it was bright and sunny and HOT!

It's been hot and sunny all day down here. we had a great party for DS. Lots of pool time, friends, and family. Plus we had enough pizza to sink a ship.

Good evening homies

We made it earlier today safe and sound at four points Sheraton and after checking in went and had a late lunch and me and DW thought we take a nap after a long 13 hour drive and slept the day away cause I just woke up lol

 

[MDer2FL]

Hey all! Sorry I've been MIA recently. Just busy working, going to NYC for a weekend (and seeing a lot of celebrities). Unfortunately plans with the cruise fell through cause my friend Adam that was going with me ended up giving his car to his daughter and getting a new one so he now has two car payments and didn't want to take a week off work (he switched jobs after we booked so I don't know if he has vacay time yet or what). But, on the brightside, we're now going to do a long weekend trip. We were thinking Disney first, but I really wanna do Universal, since it will be easier to do over a weekend. Plus, Halloween Horror Nights!! (which will be really weird doing without Mac ) Now I just have to wait for the cruise refund and I can start booking stuff!

i love it when homies that ran away from home here come back.

you know i'm a teaser andy/robbie.....
we wuvs you.

i can remember when youse did hhn with us.
you loved it and we all loved you being 'entertained' by the SA

hope you get to do a repeat real soon or at least get back to the motherland.


btw, love the new look with the beard

Hey......nice to see you back again

Bet you can`t wait to start planning!!!! Gotta go for HHN`s

Regarding celebrities.....I was in New York in April for a week, and we met Tom Hanks (very friendly) even though I kinda bumped into him, Alex Baldwin(not so friendly) Matthew Broderick...meh.....and I think we saw David Duchovny in a restaurant. My niece saw Bethenny from Real Housewives, in Tribeca.....I had nipped in to use the bathroom and missed her. Apparently we missed Robert de Niro and Meryl Streep by minutes, again in Tribeca. We arrived late to meet relatives Well there`s always next time

There`s a few people we haven`t seen on here for ages.....Dark Marauder, Tammy, Minniejack, Coach81, Nashville Trio......weren`t they planning to move to Florida? Tink20 and a whole load more. Miss Mr MadHattered`s posts and Donald Duck too.

Well, hope they`re all ok.

Sunshine is back again today.....DH is now on his days off for this month so bbq tonight if it stays sunny and warm Just us though tonight.

Supposed to be going to a wine tasting thing tomorrow with my friend........not keen as we just stocked up on wine. They always say you don`t need to buy anything, but I always feel as if I have to. So if I can get out of it I will

Hope everyone's good and has a nice weekend

since we have not heard back from you, thinking it was the wine that did you in.
how many more days for you schumi before you come back?

Somebody called in sick today, and I get to replace them this morning.
Blurg.

What does everyone have planned for the weekend?

i think you should call in sick and someone will have to replace youse that day.......

but if you are getting paid for the extra day, that's more money for your next vacation..

my weekends are like my weekdays.

I need to start packing. We leave next Saturday and all next week I'm working 13 hour days 8am to 9pm so I know I'm not gonna want to do it after work. I'm really earning this vacation

sleep is highly over rated.
you'll be so busy at work until you leave, i don't know how you are going to be able to pack .....
but, i usually pack the night prior to a trip and take extra cash with me.
if i didn't pack something, i buy it there.

wow, 7 more sleeps for youse!

Been preparing for DS B Day party today. Everything is now done and waiting for people to arrive. Pool Party!!!

Then getting Pizza Hut since this is the last day for the $5.55 large one topping cant go wrong for the price.

what a fun birthday for the boy!
pool and pizza !!

i love a good pizza sale too.

T-minus two weeks til Florida, Yeah for summer vacation!

i'm in the wrong part of the states.
i should be living in your neighborhood and crashing your company parties.
i'm eyeing the moonbounce.........

another homie going back to the darkside........
yay !!

Waiting on MY order now...just ordered for dinner!

hope saved me a crust or two.
pizza that is!

That sounds like so much fun! Very jealous. I've been cooped up inside all day because it's been non-stop rain!

but it's at least over 70 degrees where you are.
i have been reading about all the rain, lots of rain, that has hit your area.
heavy rain is a bummer when you are outside.

but being cooped up inside all day isn't much better.
drier for youse but still it suxs.

I know what you mean. It poured at the house this morning right after I got up and then again around 5:30PM for about 1.5 hours. Constant downpour...roads were flooded...gutters trying desperately trying to keep the water at bay...to no avail. Between the morning and evening storms it was bright and sunny and HOT!

it's no fun trying to drive in those downpours.
i know florida gets rain in the summer but this heavy rain is horrible especially when you have to drive in it.

Nice Father's Day here. Took DM out since she needs the company and DH is a good sport.

Raven, hope your DM is better. Sending prayers.

DS said next year have to do USO. Yes we do! Hope to find AP rates at the end of the summer.


Time to relax and get ready for Monday. Two more days of school for the kids.

 

[RAPstar]

Almost bed time. Keeping my fingers crossed that we get our refund this week so we can rebook. The only downside is since we paid portions of the cruise on our individual cards, we may have to wait till the weekend so that we can exchange actual monies to book.

Also, my birthday is Wednesday so next weekend me and my best girl Denise are going to Texas de Brazil and then to see Monsters University (maybe, I'm still not too keen on it so if I see something better we'll switch).

 

[macraven]

andy, hope your refund comes through!





good morning homies!

 

[Kogo Shuko]

Holy, who told everyone at work that today needs to be a busy day?!?!
