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

[goNDmay9]

@macraven i went to school in the midwest - took a job in Indy. Lasted the summer - realized i was about to experience another midwestern fall / winter. Packed up my civic and drove back south!!

 

[macraven]

with your avatar, i figured you had a connection to indiana........

YAY

I too am a lizard. woot woot!! i totally get you schumi - cold is good when it is supposed to be! christmas in the mountains, nice crisp fall football tailgating etc. I need to put switzerland on my list....

[USER=149559]@schumigirl yea - no one believes me either. i am like - yuppps. if you want to verify with the 'rents go ahead. when i was little they thought i was just a picky eater and tried the "go ahead and eat that beef stroganoff - there are no onions in it"..... NOT. i think most folks are skeptical because i can have garlic. ummm - need to hear more about this castle spa hotel. you had me at castle and spa!

boooo. so all the Universal hotels are sold out. i have called multiple times. was not meant to be. i was even willing to do cabana bay!! not to mention - found out this afternoon that i have a pretty important meeting on monday that i probably shouldn't miss. le sigh. oh well. we did the whole "stay offsite trip" in june. had a blast as always but... there is no comparison to going home.[/USER]

Yes!!! That's exactly what I meant.......Switzerland and Austria have such beautiful crisp cold weather.....not the damp miserable ones we get..........yeah some times other folks think they're experts on everything when you tell them something...I know a couple of people like that.......I could eat onions all my life......to the point my husband challenged me to try and not use them for even a day :eek: I failed!! But since seeing the Consultant in March they have been off the menu altogether along with several other food items. I'm ok with derivatives of onion so far like BBQ seasonings and such........
Sucks about the hotel being full.........keep trying you never know what will open..........

Have a few things to search on Internet this morning then grocery shopping this afternoon when DH gets home.......DS would usually take me in his car or I could borrow his car, but he has plans today.

BBQ will be out tonight I think...............::yes::

How come that writing is blue above?? I never did that........

/\ 2 snaps up, it's been a doozie of a week. trip was really nice other than the flat on the way up, followed by another flat on other car 2 days later. screws in the sidewalls, the chief tells me it's likely tweens with too much time on their hands sneaking around in the dead of the night.ummm, question begs to be asked why tweens are running the streets in the middle of the night in the 1st place.

while i'm on a tare, still shaking head that USH likely won't be announcing HHN dates/times or selling tickets until the end of August...2 weeks before their parties start. hollyweird indeed! Even DL is a bit off kilter, their dining ADR windows are 60 days out but find myself unable to book any dinners for our trip since they haven't set their park hours yet. was told to check back in a few weeks. Ha try pulling that off in Orlando.

looking forward to having a BD party @ nursing home for my mom's 85th tomorrow

tink - belated . Dudes are often dim on the BD niceities.

kfish - adorable guppy!

mac & marci both under seige by mutha nature.

carole's had a lot going on, i read nightmares of big joints & cokelol jk

have a grrrrrreat weekend all.

Exactly 3 weeks and I'll be in Florida (add two days and I'll be at Universal)! Finally rented the car for the trip then found out today that I need to replace my serpentine belt on the daily driver. Need to buy a new used car but I'm so indecisive over what kind I'm looking for. Oh well. Happy Friday everyone!

about your question on the avatar, i thought it stood for Notre Dame

so happy you let us know it is friday with a minionion!

 

[macraven]

to newest Jenkins who is now one of us homies.


have fun at the darkside and enjoy your entire vacation in that new rental car.

car issues and buying used cars can be a frightening adventure

 

[macraven]

keisha, you and your mom both have birthdays on the 9th?
does that mean you will have two cakes.......

yea USH doesn't release info very far in advance to the start of their HHN.
so many peeps complain about it each year.
wish you the best in getting the portion of your vacation lined up soon.

fllat tires, duh.
sorry you had to go through that more than once.

naw, mom's is on the 11th but going with early bird partee tomorrow so the grandkids can't weasel out. one in particular is creeped out by nursing homes & hospitals in general.

jenkins no idea what a serpentine belt is but it sounds expensive

 

[schumigirl]

Glad you had a fun time on trip Janet......sucks on the tyres though.....we call people who do that "neds" ........very Scottish and polite word in place of what you really want to call them!!! Hope you enjoy mums birthday party tomorrow.........85.....she'll love having everyone there to see her.......

Jenkins.........

mac......knew you would like the minionion.......


Ok......after a glorious hot day........within last hour it's cold!!! Really cold! We had been out sitting in the gazebo and grilling.....now we're inside and thinking of putting the heating on, how can it change so quickly....oh I forgot its Britain!

So, night in front of the TV I think. Won't be venturing round to our local for a drink tonight.............

Happy Friday

 

[Jenkins]

Keisha...the serpentine belt is a tensioned belt that provides power for most things in the car. Alternator, power steering, air conditioning, battery being some of them. If it were to break the car would be undriveable. Luckily right now it is just making an annoying squealing and hasn't broke completely yet. My boyfriend is off getting it worked on. Of course the labor part of the job is more expensive than the actual part.


Stay warm Schumi! I think the weather here might be leveling off...70's all next week. Should be comfortable.

 

[macraven]

it's the labor for the work on the car that is the killer.
car parts are affordable........

instead of sending my boys to college, i should have pushed for each of them to have gone to a different trade school then i would have been set for life.
carpentry, mechanic, plumber and electrician

 

[goNDmay9]

@Jenkins WELCOME TO THE FRAY!!

@macraven your instincts were correct... ha ha. in the south people don't typically make the connection. my license plate is NDalum - and people are always like....en da lum??? @schumigirl I went to Notre Dame which is a college in Indiana.

@keishashadow glad you are back safe! TWO flats?? and why would any tween think that was funny?? that is just random. At least you have the birthday party - sounds like fun!!

 

[goNDmay9]

i know right mac??!!! i am still hoping baby brother will pursue the mechanical route. he likes tinkering with cars.
schumi - stay warm. i will try and send you some of our heat!

today was a chill day. girls do not go to school on fridays so i stayed home with them today. i had such plans...we were going to wake up early, clean the house and then go to a park. yea. none of that happened. girls slept until 10 / 1030 and by the time we ate it was nap time! i think they were exhausted from the first week of school.

i did catch up on laundry! woot woot.

 

[macraven]

well, i finally cleaned off my dining room table.........


mr mac graduated from DePaul in chgo but he went two summers to Notre Dame for additional courses. (MBA)
i drove him there, dropped him off once he got settled in a dorm.
it is a beautiful campus!

i rather enjoyed those summers as i could eat pizza at midnight and no one complained.......lol

goNDmay9, do your littles go to school year round?

 

[goNDmay9]

@mac that is awesome!!! (both the dining room table and mrmacs schooling choices)

sort of. it seems crazy, but school started last week! DD3 is in pre-k and DD2 just started pre-school. during the summer we put them in camps / go on vacay / take pto etc. their school follows the public school system - but they have a great summer program where you only pay per week. it is just coloring etc and you don't have to be there at a certain time. they have to be there at 830 now that school is back in session. it has been an adjustment for all of us!!! lol.

 

[macraven]

hey, did the night crew already leave?

i'm up and nobody to talk to here now........


schumi must be sleeping in this morning......
