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

[keishashadow]

Thanks Schumi! Its an awesome age....just wish he would understand directions a little better

Keisha - he LOVES the water. Took him to the beach yesterday and made a beeline for the ocean. He would sit in the surf all day....

it's in his blood. I've been trying to teach my soon to be 4 y.o. GD to swim this summer on the few days we made it into the pool. she got spooked her last YMCA swim class in the spring and is still very hesitant despite using a puddle jumper.

sharky - I'm hoping the 3rd time for TWD will be a charm but, thus far, none of the announcements have hit a home run for me. As long as somebody is rev'ing up a chainsaw I'm good to go. Looking forward to seeing friends and doing lots of screaming hehehe

the street for Purge will have chainsaws......
if you close your eyes, you can smell the gasoline keisha........

remember last year when they spooked you when they were hiding in the bushes?.........

this year i will have the iphone with me so i won't miss getting those pictures so you can relive your moments of screaming and jumping.

**groooooooan** .......

Is it just me or are they taking forEVER to announce the HHN stuff? So far I am excited about the WD and Face Off announcements and over the moon at the rumored possibility of seeing my beloved Prince of Halloween (aka Michael Myers). The Purge and FDTD don't really seem scary, but I am looking forward to seeing the costumes and other details the creators come up with.

Another Michael Myers fan.......yay!!

Love that guy.......but he scares my very being to the core

I may spend one evening just doing that house alone!......not me alone.......just that house was what I meant

it's wednesday and i'm waiting for Bluer to confirm it is wednesday.......

 

[schumigirl]

it's wednesday and i'm waiting for Bluer to confirm it is wednesday.......

Are you getting up or still not gone to bed yet

I'm confused now......but then it doesn't take much

I'm just about to make lunch..........shrimp salad laden with jalapeños........not quite boogity shrimp but it'll be lush

 

[macraven]

i went to bed at 2 and up at 5 this morning.

started the coffee at 5:25 and ready for the day........


i never sleep well when i have stress.
and i don't sleep well when at the darkside due to all the excitement.

 

[schumigirl]

I feel guilty now.

I went to bed at 11 last night and we all slept through till 9.30 this morning.

Heard Kyle in his bathroom running the shower........otherwise we might still be sleeping

We were all tired I guess and nothing to get up for today as DH is on his days off again

Lazy day ahead for us

 

[macraven]

don't feel guilty.
if i could, i would positively sleep in.......

have fun with dh off work today!
have a leisurely day and forget about any housework.



hmmm, thinking Bluer is sleeping in today.
he is the early bird here usually.

It's Wednesday! A hot and humid day, with late afternoon/evening thunderstorms. Don't mind them, as we'll then be in the high 80's several days after today's high 90's. Hopefully the storms break the high humidity we've been having.

KFish, cute little Christopher. He's getting big. My kids both liked the water when they were young. They still do as teens. How did you like Sesame Place? It's a cute small park. We live less than an hour from it.

Mac, I'm up at 5am most days. Dog gets walked then. I'm too tired to walk her later in the evening.

Schumi, hope you are enjoying your day off with DH.

I love the smell of chainsaws in the morning...run camel, run.

new homie! we love that everyone comes here to talk and visit. our thread needs more Reds.. southern minnesota i see......... my paternal unit was from se minnesota and have been there many timesl. such a beautiful place. i'm thinking of taking him back there for his last home. (red wing) daytona beack i really liked. those beaches are beautiful!

Thanks to all for the welcomes!! I know where redwing is, even have an acquaintance at the hospital there. We just got back and I'm tired from my vaca?! Next time I would reverse the order and do WDW, then Universal and then the beach! My kids were a little let down at WDW this time and I'm not sure if it's that they've been there done that, that they liked the thrill rides at Universal better or just that the last time it was so much fun showing their younger cousins around. Never less, we will never leave out Universal again, but may cut Disney visits shorter and don't feel like we need more than two UNI park days (as long as we stay deluxe and get express pass which was awesome! Thanks again for the welcomes!

you get up everyday at 5:00 ??????
ok, you win this contest.

Mr Mac gets up at 4:45 to get ready for work.
he has to leave the house before 6 to catch a train into the city.
he's quitting his job in 25 days so maybe he will learn to sleep in to at least 5:30-6:00

we did have a great hot humid day yesterday!
everyone in my family griped about it but i loved it.
today it is windy and 68

I love thunderstorms.........we could be doing with one today........

5am.........that's early. Years ago (22) when I actually worked I volunteered to be in the office at 6am as no one else would and I loved it......and I do love early mornings still but as I choose to be a "stay at home mum" yes I know my son is 20 lol.........but now I find I can sleep later quite happily.


Had a very lazy day after all.........sat around the garden and had a BBQ........it's a bit dull today but warmish.

Like Sharky........so looking forward to all the HHN stuff coming out.......it's August next week...........

We have a lot of birthdays on here in August if I remember correctly

i love redwing.

i've been doing the motherland and the darkside split for years.
too hard to go to orlando and not do both of them.
i'm not at the point where i could only do the darkside, but it could happen.

my boys always had to hit both theme parks so that started the trend.
they only got into the princess when they were teens.......

do both parks on your next orlando vacation.
maybe do a couple of day trips to the motherland.

when the UO hotels went up, i always stayed on site.
start the vacation at the motherland and run myself ragged from sun up to late night, then hit the darkside hotels and totally take my time and relax.

the free express lines at UO are absolutely wonderful.
very difficult to do disney last once you are used to no (limited) line waits.

each year i cut back the number of nights i stay at the motherland.
add more to the darkside stay then.
pretty soon i will be catching up with schumi for how long i stay there onsite.

We have a lot of birthdays on here in August if I remember correctly

i will have to look at last year's august birthday list.
Vicki/Tink1957 is the first august birthday for this thread. 8/2

i was when my kids hit 1st grade so it was easier for me to work.
i graduated to high school years back and actually prefer the higher grade levels to work in.

i'm already putting in for my "vacation in the fall" for the school.

i'm thinking i will quit this job next year.
if i ever got into a normal sleeping pattern, i could sleep to noon then!

 

[macraven]

i could be missing some homies but from last year's list i have for august:
1 Tink1957/Vicki
9 Keishashadow/Damnit Janet
13 Kittengal13
14 Ky07
21 Lynne G/duh, Lynne
22 Metro West/Todd
29 Goofyfigment
