Happy Birthday! Have a great day.

Janet.....qualifying decides who starts in what position for the Grand Prix...........Formula 1 is not for everyone, but I grew up with it as I had a family member involved in it and still do today, but think I would love it regardless. We are self confessed petrol heads


Just watched Shrek....even DS came down to watch it as he was in tonight..........I love that movie

Always start to watch certain movies before we visit......MIB marathon next weekend hopefully. I love ET......but it makes me cry so much, hard to watch but I love it

Happy Birthday Cielei! Hope you had a great day.

Enjoying the shore. Forgotten how many pizza places you can count in a row. DD having fun, won one, lost one, and so many of us parental units are happy to have the last game bright and early tomorrow morning.


Schumi, nice car that DS got. Glad to hear dental went well and car races are occupying your time.

Yep Mac, no housecleaning for me this week end, but a ton of wash is waiting for me when I get home.

So, here's to a wonderful Saturday night and mummy dust to you all!

i named you empress when you talked about the amount of mail you received and your mail man asked why you were getting so much mail.

we're talking years back on this empress thing.
for my last two computers, i have you as empress in the emails.

i knew that I'll take it since I'm pretty sure an empress trumps a

carole - I didn't know that, thanks for 'splaining.

anybody been to Daytona Beach? thinking of cutting WDW portion of trip short & running over for 2 nights in October pre RPR.

anybody been to Daytona Beach? thinking of cutting WDW portion of trip short & running over for 2 nights in October pre RPR.

At WDW right now, did two nights at the Hyatt Place Daytona Beach Oceanfront and was very happy. The beach was beautiful, the kids body boarded and the pool was decent. Ate at Inlet Harbour-yum. Then we did three nights at PBH which we also enjoyed but would like to try the HRH. Hope this helps

 

[Cielei]

Thank you for the birthday wishes! I worked today, but did have a very good day. It made my day when a coworker was shocked when I told her how old I am. The best part of the day was coming home to a cake baked by my sons (dad swears he only supervised). My DS 11 decided that they should bake a cake for me. He researched online and found what he thought would be a good recipe (they had to convert measurements and everything for the recipe) and the boys made it all by themselves for me.

Hope everyone else had a fabulous day!

Hi! Hoping newbies are allowed to talk about nothing.

I do have something to talk about ...namely my last minute vacay in 2 weeks that I still don't have all planned yet

But...I just finished my coffee and I'm not sure my cells are working yet. Maybe the caffeine will kick in soon. Im in need of some hand cream.

It's cooler here today in south Jersey. ..not the florida weather we have been having. But I still need hand cream.

Im also thinking about changing my "toy room" around. I still have polly pockets , barbies, pokemon stuff and my kids are 17, 12 and 9 I don't think they play with it anymore.

So we cleaned it out. I hate living rooms because I think they are stupid. We got a new computer desk so we moved the old table in there and think we can make it a "Art" and "homework room" but i have to make it pretty because people see it when they come to the door. Which is why I am never naked in that room.

Hmm . I have my kids artwork on the walls..so maybe I will frame that.

Disney/US in two weeks. Haven't nailed down our accommodations. Don't know if we are doing both or one. Kids want both which is fine if they have $1000 to chip in.

to our newest homie.............

of course you can talk about something.
after all, we are something about nothing here and a cozy chat is always up for grabs.

go to www.universalorlando.com and check out the hotels for a room that would suite youse.
you're bound to find something since you said you haven't booked anywhere yet. there are cancellations all the time and hopefully you can snag a room onsite.

i know nothing about decorating.
once my kids turned 9-8-7, i took down the kids artwork and put up cat work.
we have 3 cats and they behaved so much better than my boys.

since you will be in orlando in august, you'll have your summer heat there.
i haven't kept up in NJ weather but the midwest is still waiting for some summer heat here.
i usuallly get my sunshine when i hit florida in the fall/late september.

so glad you stopped in to chat!

 

[schumigirl]

Welcome to redmomof4 and sersee05

This is a fun welcoming thread.......glad to have you along!!

Sersee.......I love decorating.........it's fun! Hope you enjoy the challenge!

Janet........we prefer Clearwater/St Pete's to Daytona.......water was too rough for us and a bit cool Clearwater was like going into a bath.........lovely.

Daytona is not a bad place.......probably the most boring drive we ever did though. Wouldn't go back, but we happily go back to Clearwater.......we find more to do there......unless there is racing on at Daytona, then we might.



Making lasagne for dinner tonight.......went into fridge......no cheese.......went into fridge in garage.......no cheese.........

Who ate all the cheese? DS gone to get some for me........

German GP was good......sorry we weren't there but couldn't get decent flights...........Hungary next weekend though

Hope everyone's having a great weekend

 

[sersee05]

I have lots of cheese! My dh always tells me I buy too much cheese. Thanks for the welcome!!

Decorating is fun..but it's daunting at first not knowing where to start and what I want to do with the room.

Its been 90s and humid here..so I welcome the Florida weather! Wait...90's and humid...hey!

I Have some options with offsite condos to save some $$..... Saving $$ What is that?!?

But because my kids are annoying...I love them but they are still annoying ..we are trying to do us and disney... What a $$ nightmare!! Maybe I will raid the kids piggy banks..I think the $2.35 will help . DD17 loves the beach. Ds9 hates the beach because everyone apparently gets eaten by sharks. DD17 loves Disney but DD12 thinks she is a thrill seeker and wants roller coaster so her idea of disney is that it is babyish. I Know! I thought about asking her to move out too.


DD17 is a coaster girl... I just want to eat....at Disney resorts . Soooo we decided lets do both! So DH now is all with the cost of tickets. Uh Hellloooooo? and doesn't think we need the EP


I did use some nice hand cream by the way..

 

[schumigirl]

I found the cheese.

I often tell my DH and my DS to look further than the end of their nose when looking for something in the house they can't find.

I should have taken my own advice. 1 family block of cheese and 2 normal size packs on the bottom shelf of the outside fridge

Don't know how I missed it!

cake, cheese & two new posters

thanks it gets good reviews & looks lovely. this is a supposed adults trip, we would like to park the car & walk to restaurants/entertainment, thinking of the Hilton or Wyndham since they are attached to ocean walk but neither are wow'ing me. Seems to be a lot of mom & pop type places. We're accustomed to Myrtle Beach and the big poolscapes the resorts offer.

if I had a trip two weeks out w/o any accommodations, would probably go with hotwire or lastminutetravel after doing some bidding research . We've gotten the Hyatt in the past which we absolutely loved. Sheraton Vistana is centally located & has some very good deals, travel sponsor here usually has a well-priced no-housekeeping one.

Carole - Clearwater would've been my 1st choice (lived there as a child) but Don Cesar is priced . At this point too lazy to do any more research and the drive seems easier up to Daytona. Had thought to use points @ Vero Beach but vibe is a bit dead for us.

Did come across an interesting rumor that Hard Rock bought an OF parcel of land in the 800 block of Ocean Blvd in Daytona with intent to build hotel or casino.

So excited to be returning to the dark side after so long!

 

[Cielei]

I shall share my cake with y'all - you can have a whole piece mac! It's banana cake with vanilla icing. He made the cake from scratch, but cheated a little on the icing.



A warm welcome to the new peeps!

Sersee - We had done a toy edit and updated the playroom just before we had to move here. I have boys (11 &12) - boys who love video games - if there is a big screen and a flat screen hung on the wall with a game system attached, they are happy. The last of the toys are going in a yard sale to be held ... someday. The new playroom is the basement - I'm not even trying to pretend that it just isn't going to all end up as the testosterone lair. Right now, I'm thinking we are going to go for a British theme - DS11 tells me today that we need to include at least 1 blue booth for tardis in our design plan.
