Something About Nothing..........#11

[marciemi]

Quick drive-by to say that we're officially Floridians! Two traumatized cats after a few days of movers, car rides, and the airport and plane ride but we're settled in this evening to the corporate housing for a few months. Off to look at houses in the morning then to Epcot in the evening with the oldest son to get his pass processed!

 

[Mrs bluer101]

i'm sure it will be hard to return to work on monday. sounds like (besides the screw up thursday) you are having a fabulous vacation!

Yes we are having a great vacation! I think it is one of the best we have had in a while. Everything has been perfect except for the hotel thing. IOA/US was fabulous as always and KSC was awesome. We had a wonderful time there. I really don't want Monday to come.

i know you are thrilled to have a new state to call home.
so much better than Wisconsin and Indiana.......

i was wondering how you were moving the cats.
did they ride in the car and scream all the way down?

hope you find the house soon.
i know you'll share pictures with us!

vacations are great but it is always sweet to return home.


do you have an august trip lined up yet?

Just a quick hello! Hope all are doing well.

Getting ready for DD to play soccer. Watched the fireworks over Niagra Falls last night. I guess I have become too Disney, I expected music with the fireworks, but there was only fireworks. They were really nice though. Beautiful weather so far.

Welcome fellow Floridian.

We are already making plans of attack. We might hit a weekend just DW and I in a few weeks. I'm sure we will be August, September, then HHN. that's when the real fun starts.


To everyone else hope everyone has a great weekend.

Just got through washing DW's car as it was loaded with bugs on the way home from KSC. We got in around 11 pm after a long day. We went to KSC and got there around 9:45am. We did pretty much everything there by 5:45pm. The new Atlantis exhibit is really breathtaking. It brings goosebumps just being there seeing it.

After we left there we swung by Ron Jon, I know tourist trap. Then after browsing there we hit up Chili's on Merritt Island before heading home.

Maybe later I will post up some pictures.

Lynne.........hope the DD did well today Those fireworks sound amazing.......I have never seen Niagara Falls......one day

Marcie........congrats on the move......hope you find something more permanent real soon

Vicki......hope those aches and pains have disappeared by now..........


Had a fantastic week this week...........DS got his end of year results from University and he passed onto the 3rd year with flying colours so proud of him as he works incredibly hard at a difficult course

Today we went and bought him a new car........his is only just under 2 years old but this is a bigger one with much more horsepower and it's fabulous!! Can't wait for him to get it......maybe end of next week or into the following week as it's just left the factory in Germany 3 days ago........

So.......celebrate tonight....(any excuse) while we're watching Brazil play the Netherlands.

Looks like we could be getting a massive thunderstorm tonight by the look of the sky.

Hope everyone's good

I enjoyed college road trips. Has ur DD narrowed down her short list?

I enjoyed watching frozen the 1st 100 times w/GD. now when it goes into rotation yet again, I grab my laptop

 

[schumigirl]

Janet.......belated birthday wishes for your boy.......missed that........but it's ok as you're still celebrating Hope the weather holds out for you today


We're supposed to be barbequeing today..........but weather is not playing along.......we've had torrential rain this morning.......dry just now but clouds are building..........wouldn't be the first time DH has cooked under the gazebo while it's chucking it down..........all part of the fun........ It's only us so it's not like we are feeding a group!

Heading for a day in a shopping mall tomorrow.........now in Florida, that's fun.......over here it's just not! No air conditioning to speak of and it just gets so darned hot. Schools haven't broke up yet so it shouldn't be as bad as when they are all finished.

Have a great Sunday everyone

i'm wearing jackets when i go outside.

i'm want the temps to be so hot i have to put the ac on.


i haven't lost any weight yet so i have no complaints on not being able to wear shorts ...........

 

[agavegirl1]

I find "skorts" to be more forgiving. I have amassed a supply.

 

[macraven]

i think the skorts have a cute look.

that is something i need to buy for my fall trip to orlando.

added benefit....full coverage getting in and out of rides with wicking materials (like gym shorts) underneath.

 

[macraven]

you all should come to this thread after midnight.
you can get in on the fashion show with agavegirl and me.........


who knows what will be on later tonight.
maybe a coupon swap.........

 

[schumigirl]

Skorts.............



I'm getting to that age I think where you really start to lose older relatives.

Today one of my Aunt's died. It was very quick as she was only diagnosed with lung cancer that they discovered had gone into her brain around 6 or so weeks ago. She lives up in Scotland so I hadn't seen much of her over the years, but last year I made a point of visiting whenever I went up to see my mum.

I'm so glad I did. I also saw her very briefly a few weeks ago, I went up for a flying visit and visited with her before she declined too badly. I'm glad it didn't drag on too long for her.

But, anyway. Hope all are ok
