Something About Nothing ... #12

[Charade67]

Good morning all. I just survived letting B drive us to church. She is such a nervous driver. I think it will be a long time before she is ready to get her license.

I’m on my way to Robo’s house for grilled steak. It looks like we won’t be getting our grill until September or October. Maybe later if we keep having so much rain.

I wish I lived close to a zoo like Lynne. I thin our closest one is about 2.5 hours away. We are planning to go to the San Diego Zoo when we have our Southern California trip next year.

Summer really is flying by. B goes back to school on August 13. We have open house on August 9. I’m really hoping that her band has a cool trip planned this year.

The more your daughter drives, the more at ease she will feel

She will turn out to be a great patient driver soon!

Good morning Lynne, Robo, Schumi, Charade, Mac!! and all the peeps here!


Robo- enjoy the company and the steaks!! YUM!

Schumi- sorry about the rain, but enjoy the Grand Prix!

Charade- your daughter will be a great driver with practice! She'll go at her own pace!
Kyle drove from the day he turned 16! Troy, on the other hand, was nervous and didn't drive until he turned 18!

Lynne- Enjoy the zoo today! Love seeing the tigers! Hate, hate the reptile house! Makes me squirm while I'm in there!

Mac- enjoy a lazy summer day after the busy FP day yesterday!

So much to do on the weekends!! Hard to fit in just doing nothing!!

I’m amazed at all the travels pattyw has done in the last few months

I’m turning green ...lol

She never misses a beat and finds time to post here no matter where she is
I have to reread her posts to know what state she is in at the time


When I grow up, I want her life!

With all the animals included

And will add in Monyk chickies to that group

Mac- I'm green, too! I think it's motion sickness from all the car and plane travel!

And will add in Monyk chickies to that group

Me too!!

So cause I can never be content with what I have, I found a hotel close to Universal on Hotwire for $85/night, which would give me like an extra $200 in spending money. So I decided to go with it instead of Aventura. Does Hotwire even try anymore cause half the rates I look at on there tell you what the hotel is gonna be before you book. This one happened to be the Doubletree across the street, which is fitting since it was where I stayed on my first trip as an adult. Anywho, yay!!

Sooo, once again I am woefully behind on all the posts!! I started this one last night before bed & then lost internet connection and now ya’ll are 50 miles down the road ahead of me!! Anywhoo.....Charades67, cool That your hubs does community theatre! I have always wanted to do that but too chicken to audition. Sigh

How I met my husband...my brother actually set us up. He had a friend who had a roommate & my brother told me he thought I would like the roommate. All 4 of us met for lunch one Saturday and my (future) husband thought throughout the entire lunch that I was my brother’s girlfriend. It was only afterwards that he realized that was his sister!! So, then we dated for 2 years, we broke up because my husband was stupid, hehe, didn’t see or have contact with each other for 6 1/2 years and then ran into each other at a convention in Orlando. We were engaged 4 months later & married 8 months after that. Totally fate & we were destined to be together since neither of us found “the one” during our 6 1/2 year hiatus.

Happy Sunday! My husband finally found pink gin locally so I am enjoying a fabulous martini and about to take a quick dip in the pool before dinner. Cheers!!

That’s a beautiful and romantic story

Mine is just ordinary!Joe and I were friends in college. I actually liked his friend! The feelings weren’t mutual but I continued to spend time with Joe. Our friendship grew into a relationship. And we actually split for a bit- I guess we got a little scared! But we got back together and here we are 30 years later!!

Woot, for saving money RAPstar.

Yep, and lipstick day today, too Charade. Little one does not go back until after Labor Day. But, she is already saying ready to go back to school. B will get better. Little one has drove all over the place inbthe past year. When her friend’s mom was concerned if her DD or little one could drive down the shore, Little one said she has done that several times last year, and she did. She is a good driver. So there is hope. Little one’s friend is not a good driver, but she is not allowed to go far from home. That is what find phone is for. Told little one cannot drive without her phone allowing location services. And I do check up on her every so often.

Beautiful day to be at the zoo, but way too crowded for us. Bailed after lunch and checked out the mega mall for a bit, shoes and two pairs of jeans. Yep, and you can guess, was not me.

Time for dinner. Made my own Pad Thai. Yum.

 

[Charade67]

It’s also national chicken wing day. B and I decided to have supper at our favorite wing place. What was I thinking? This place is super busy. It’s almost 9:00 and we haven’t eaten yet. I still need to make a trip to the grocery store.

Robbie...great deal at Doubletree...it was our first darkside hotel too for Christmas 2007...what a great trip. We stayed at POFQ for 5 nights with free dining then 3 nights at Universal and our love for the darkside began

Kind of tired tonight after working 5 days in a row so excuse me for not being talkative...hope you all have a great night

I’m a stay at home mom so I’m pretty flexible during school hours & at night after activities.
