I'll try to keep mac posted on what day it is until you return. (this might be fun... if she's confused when you get back it's not my fault.)

Sounds like a plan
But are you going to set an alarm to get up early so I'll know the day before evening time........[/QUOTE]
I'll post it around 1AM. Does that work?!

and oh wow on the contractor guy! Glad you were nice to him. Couldn't tell too much from the first message... I read it with a bit of annoyance. Gotta love how inflection changes depending who reads it!
Believe me I'm thinking about it on the payment thing. I'm actually thinking about asking for a "bonus" from the business towards a new car. One time lump some. The business gets a pretty big tax write off on vehicles anyways. Then I'll trade my car in and have the financing I'd like without emptying out my savings. Not sure if I'm being too greedy or not. I'd like to finance no more than 10k so that my payments are reasonable. My car should be worth at least 6K... I hope. It's got body damage but the engine is flawless. It has been in two.. maybe three recorded "wrecks." None of which were mechanical. Once I got rear ended. Once I hydroplaned through a ditch. Once a lady backed into me in the lowes parking lot and we "shared" fault. Stupid private property rules. IDK I need to go up there and start the conversation for the dealer so I can find the car I want anyways-- need to know how much it's worth so I know exactly what kind of downpayment I need for the financing I want. I want a used one because I don't like carrying the value of a new car so it may take a few months.

The reason I wonder if I'm being greedy is because I am pretty much getting a studio apartment out of this deal.. but I also did not make the choice to do that. I made a joke 3 years ago and they decided it sounded like a good idea. So I didn't ask for it, but I also should take that into consideration right? Maybe.. IDK. I hate asking for things... but at the same time for my degree I don't quite brush the average starting salary and I've been doing this for 5 years now.

I made red lobster biscuits tonight because schumi was talking about them. Also made homemade alfredo because I wanted that the other night. The key to the boxed red lobster biscuits is to add a quarter teaspoon to half a teaspoon of garlic powder to the dry mix before you mix in all the cheese and stuff. Really makes a difference! I always thought the box was missing stuff so I tried it one day. Try it--- you can thank me later! Oh and SHARP cheddar!

Yay! Mac is ready for HHN now! Hope your fan guy recovers and fixes your fan today.

Rain. Yep, rain last night, and oh so muggy this morning, with high humidity. Did I say sauna? The thunderstorms to be rolling in later this morning should take care of that, I hope. My flowers are very thankful. Oh, and tomatoes are growing bigger. Not red yet, but at least we have some starting. Only vegetable I planted this year.

Kids started working at camp. Tired kids last night. Ahhh, peace. Well, not quite, there were intermittent screams about what each was doing online. Apparently, I don't have the fastest internet. Yes, I am a mean mom.

And, I need that second cup of tea. Iced again.

tink/vicki, we did get some light rain at our place about 2 in the morning but the ground is still dry.
did a check in the front yard and some places are dust and no wetness to the soil but a few sections there was moisture there.

not enough but i'll take any amount of rain that falls.


schumi would be so proud of me today.
no, i did not iron (don't even own an iron) but i cleaned the house up this morning and just finished all but my blue room.
she always tells us how she starts her day in tidying up her place or laundry/ironing and it wears me out.
but, she then has the rest of her day just to play which is a nice way to handle life and the house.

don't expect me to post those type of activities in the near future again.
i do the house once a week and call it done.
the only rooms i do daily are the kitchen and bathrooms.
well, bathrooms more than a couple of times a week.
we have 3 of them so i only concentrate on the one in our bedroom section.

Yes it's a joke. Sorry I thought the breakyourownnews.com watermark was more apparent. That's a website to generate your own breaking news picture. I could take a picture of you and write BREAKING NEWS: MAC'S GONE WAC! (and doesn't know what day it is)

 

[macraven]

whew......i can imagine people getting into a conversation and not realizing the joke to it.....
at first i thought, oh my, this has to be a joke.
but then, thought i should ask as there are some wild posts/threads in the dis at times.

i glanced at the picture and now see the watermark....

lol

 

[tinydancer09]

Yep sorry! Haha ive done that before. I learned quickly to always google it to see if any news reports come up.

 

[macraven]

Since it is all family here basically, I sometimes talk before I think ... Lol

Afternoon! Perfectly lazy day here. Hopefully y'all are having a great day too!

***stinking pic won't load***

Reading over on the Kong thread and I see where someone "announced" they had a small child and asked the live actors not to jump out. That's all well and good, but do they not realize it kinda ruins the experience for the others they're in line with? Some of us enjoy being scared

 

[tinydancer09]

Tried to go to the grocery store. Between the freezer section and my car I missed 7 calls from the same person. I love when people aren't annoying at all....
Every time I tried to check the voicemail to see what his deal was he'd call again. Then I finally got through a voicemail and was trying to call the AC guy to fix the problem and he called so much he couldn't hear me for the beeping blocking what I was saying.
One call and one voicemail gets my attention perfectly fine.

I was thinking the same thing...

If I was on the ride and someone told the TM to stay back and not approach the ride to do his job, I'd be miffed

There are some of us that want the total effect of the ride

Maybe the ones with littles that can't handle the total experience of Kong, could be sat in the first row so they would avoid the live SA at that ride

TinyD, that suxs....
