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

[marciemi]

Thanks Janet - I know I owe you a reply - has your email changed? I was going to send my letter/response (sigh) and a couple pics but no easy way to do that here. I'm pretty sure I have your email from back in 2010 when we were cruise talking.

BrinkofSunshine - sure, I'd LOVE any help! DH will be working in Davenport (Deen Still Rd.) and we'd really like to find a neighborhood nearby with things like a screened pool/fairly newer/not super close together (I realize many Florida neighborhoods are but some are like 3 feet apart!). But, would like to not have the entire neighborhood be all rentals. Any way to get that or any thoughts? We've gotten negative feedback on Haines City, was told Davenport was mostly transient (and of course Kissimmee), reasonable thoughts on Clermont. His company has a location in Lakeland as well so we'd like to stay on that side in case he can transfer there at some point but also not go too far over in case I end up working in Orlando. Thanks! (Feel free to PM me if you'd rather not divert the thread here).

A move to Orlando... that sounds like Heaven to me. Ahhhhhh.


Thanks for welcoming me to this cozy thread here, I appreciate it!

I wish I had more time this morning to sit here with my cup of tea and get lost on the DIS, but our Sundays are busy. A day of rest? Yeah right. It starts with church, then it seems like we run, run, run. Errands always wait til Sunday for us, grocery shopping, etc.

I will be back this evening though.... I hope you all have a great day/night... depending on what part of the world you call home!!

Marciemi - WOO HOO!!!! A move to Florida is so cool.

My day is full of chores too. I just hate it. Sunday should be a day of rest. Instead, we procrastinate and Sunday is a day of work. Ugh.

At least I get to check in.

i'm ok and not ok but just wanted to come here to thank those that have asked about me and prayed and sent me good wishes.

Ah I'm not very familiar with Polk/Osceola Counties! I won't be much help on neighborhoods there. Some of my family has lived in Winter Haven (kind of near Lakeland) for decades and they've liked it, but most of the towns in Polk are going to be somewhat rural and have the traditional Southern mindset, not sure if that appeals to you or not! Definitely stay away from Kissimmee, it's not a desirable place to live.

If you want to live closer to Orlando, I'd recommend Windermere, Dr. Phillips or the newer part of Winter Garden If you change your focus to those areas, let me know, I know these areas very well

A purple Mac! So glad to see your post. Still thinking of you and sending good thoughts and prayers.

This will be the first full week of spring, and it's 21F degrees this morning, with a high of 39. Snow to arrive tomorrow. A cool start to the season. The only good thing is that it will be mostly sunny, so a cool sunny day before the snow clouds arrive tonight.


Hope all had a good week-end, and are having a great Monday to start this work week!

 

[damo]

Hey Mac. It's so good to have you back even if it is just for a bit. You have no idea how much you are missed.

 

[glocon]

We have missed you Mac... and I'll keep praying for strength, peace and happiness for you and yours.

 

[schumigirl]

Well, got about 3" off my hair today..........it had gotten far too long. It's just sitting slightly down from my shoulder and I like it. I think.

Can still get it in a very small pony tail and DH and DS like it. It'll grow quickly though.

Lasagne and salad for dinner tonight, teriyaki chicken and noodles for DS as he doesn't like lasagne.

Why do those smilies move around!!

 

[Mikkimús]

Schumgirl haircut for the summer is always nice
Your dinner sounds delicious
but since Im sick I cant even think about food.
I am on you son's side tho, I don't care for lasagna.

Can you see my post counter 100 woohoo, I know it´s not much but I think it is

Mac you are here!

You and your family are in my thoughts, *cyber hug*

 

[Heluvsme]

sSchumigirl... My haircut appointment is in two weeks and I can't wait. Mine is too long as well. Don't you love that time of pampering? Even if it's just a quick cut, it's getting taken care of for at least a half hour.

Mikki, I'm sorry you're sick. Lots of hot tea!! I swear by hot tea curing just about anything!

Lasagna is my favorite! I can eat it anytime!!

Lynne G, your weather sounds like my weather. Low 20's this morning, more snow tomorrow morning. Hopefully it won't stick around, but even the thought of it is a tad depressing.

My agenda this afternoon is to stitch down the little skinny "spaghetti" straps on my daughter's prom dress. This coming Saturday is her junior prom and the dress is hemmed (thanks to a very talented seamstress) but the traps we ordered from the dress company hadn't come in when we took it for the hemming, so it's left to me. Surely I won't mess up just stitching down straps, right? My sweet girl... the dress we bought was nearly a foot too long. My daughter is only about 4'11" and nearly everything we buy has to be altered. She's a petite little thing! I'm only 5' 1/2" (yes, I count that 1/2 inch!) and most of her grandparents are all very short as well, so she comes by it honestly! My DH isn't super tall, but in our family he is! At 5'10" he towers over us! LOL!

 

[keishashadow]

hey all, supposed to get 3 inches of snow tomorrow but the end is in sight!

Since I switched May travel plans around for the cruise, found myself with hunk of SWA credits that would disappear over the summer. Had thought to go to DC or NYC for a weekend but DH made an executive decision and we're going to Vegas for 3 days for my BD in August. Air is booked, now to figure out which resort.

Thanks Janet - I know I owe you a reply - has your email changed? I was going to send my letter/response (sigh) and a couple pics but no easy way to do that here. I'm pretty sure I have your email from back in 2010 when we were cruise talking.

it'd be hard to pick between those two dinners. my leftover ham doesn't sound as appealing right now lol

the new 'do will grown on you feel free to groan.

congrats, especially considering you're sick. Are you still in school?

 

[Lynne G]

Schumi, I like my hair not too short, not too long. DH likes it long, but I'd rather it be shorter. Easier to take care of, and not as hot in the summer.

Mikki, I hope you feel better. And congrats for the 100 post.

Heluvsme, maybe we live near each other? I know we can get snow even in April, as I remember as a kid having snow during one Easter week-end. I'm ready for some real spring temps, like in the low 70's. And stitching the straps isn't hard. I do that alot, even on bathingsuits. I too am height challenged, and my DD is small for her age as well. Not alot of tall women in my family. Oh well. I hope your DD has fun at the prom.

 

[Cielei]

Hi everyone! Glad to see you back mac, you and your family remain in our thoughts and prayers. :hugs:
This spring thing everyone keeps talking about is most certainly a myth. I never thought I would see the day that I would be giddy with anticipation at the thought of 40 degrees!
Hope everyone is doing well and feeling better.
Congrats on the move to Orlando! We just moved last summer; unfortunately it was to the great white north and not Orlando!
Welcome helovesme (on my ipad app so sorry if I mess up names or omit them)! There are definitely times we all need to vent. I have a little guy with special needs too. We don't home school, but I can empathize with you.

Have a great week!

Hey Mac. It's so good to have you back even if it is just for a bit. You have no idea how much you are missed.

Ditto! Continued virtual hugs...(and actual prayers too).

i do thank you buckeev and everyone that has done so also.


i'm not going to say anymore than this, my parental unit has CHF and kidney failure and is dying.
she is on hospice care now.

much of my time is with her and it is a sad situation for me.

i know i am not the only one that has gone thru this, but it has taken a toll on me.

my dad passed unexpectedly last year in my arms.
i hope to be with my mom when it happens .........

again, thank all of youse.


i'll try to come back here again soon.
