Finish the next line...

Oh stewardess...how much is a tad?

Lol........it's a word we use a lot........a Canadian once asked me what the heck I meant when I said it's a tad hot today........lol.........

View attachment 265778 Ah, little one is dark, me, red.

Yeah, Keisha, KW not known for beaches. Rocky, as no waves. They do ship in sand twice a year, so some have a small sandy beach. Since it is slow season, the crowds and alcohol are not that bad. Seems over 70 bars in a 2 mile street is what KW is known for.

Buckeev, sending such good thoughts. What a good guy to help out. My heart goes out to all in the Houston area and the rest of Texas bearing the brunt of the water.

Marcie, sorry to hear mom issues and no AP. Sending mummy dust and hugs mom gets better and you get back to the dark side soon.

Keisha, Mac, and Schumi, hey. Keisha, hope dental and all are well, Mac, hope you are feeling and getting better every day, and Schumi, lovely to hear you and Tom had a nice get away and celebrated.

Nice pic of DD.....she looks a lot like you. Thanks......we had a great trip!



Keisha.......more doctor death..........no!!!! Thanks......mum is doing better tonight........she beginning to joke which is a good sign and asking when her and I are going back to NYC and LI........she never changes.........I do worry though how she'll do long term laid up as she's so used to being out and about all the time.


Watching what's happening in Texas is heartbreaking to say the least. They showed what was a road earlier.........it looks like an ocean now. Awful.


Been such a busy day today. Got so many things sorted and organised.......Empire State tickets was just one part........finally all sorted for our trip. Everything finally that needs to be booked has been booked.

Just waiting to go now........8 sleeps till overnight at airport.........not that I'm counting........

Hi all

I'm finally getting two days off after working 12 of the last 14 days
The last few days I've been hearing everyone comment that I look tired...I am so ready for our vacation...only 13 days to go

Buckeev, hope the waters recede and the sun shines all week for you. My heart goes out to everyone affected.

Chuckers, I love the work excuse saga...thanks for making me smile...fat Jesus

Marcie, sorry about your mom...hope she gets better soon.

Lynne, glad you're having fun in the sun...don't forget the sunscreen

Keisha...hope Dr death treats you kindly this time...maybe some laughing gas is in order.

Carole, glad you had a good time in Scotland and sorry to hear about your mum...hope she recovers quickly. Your trip is getting closer before we know it we'll be chatting it up at HHN...I can't wait.

Have a great night homies...this tired puppy is headed to bed

I'm glad I could make you smile.. I guess if I had overstepped the boundaries of good taste on here, @macraven would let me know

Happy Thursday!!!!

10 DAYS!!!!

Final Work Excuse Saga:

Hey Mike, sorry, but you're going to have to find someone to cover for me tonight. I woke up to a pounding on my front door. I opened it to find a strange man standing on my porch and he said 'Give me back my cat suit!' I told him that I don't have it and he said I better get him one because he's has to visit his 97 year old grandmother who has dementia. Wearing that cat suit calms her down because it makes her remember her cat, Sir Basil McMouser - who's been dead for 20 years. He said if I didn't get him the cat suit, he'll have me arrested for theft. Fortunately, I have a friend who, umm, likes to wear animal suits and he has an extra Grumpy Cat suit he'll give me. Unfortunately, he lives in Buffalo.. which is an 8 hour drive. I should be there in time for dinner, but I won't be back in time for work. I'll be back for my shift on Saturday. Probably.

Lol........it's a word we use a lot........a Canadian once asked me what the heck I meant when I said it's a tad hot today........lol.........

My favorite "Carole" word is lush...you know it always makes me laugh when you describe food as lush.

 

[Chuckers]

Awesome.. with 10 days to go, it's time for an emergency trip to the dentist. A tooth the doctor said might give me trouble, has decided to give me trouble. I see either an extraction or root canal/crown tomorrow.. wheeee....

 

[schumigirl]

Lol........I adore that word.......was talking about Teak earlier........now their burgers are definitely lush!!

I'll try to remember and use it when we see you this year........


Thanks Vicki.........she's doing great, but she'll hate being cooped up inside for so long.......she's like the roadrunner when she walks.........lol........don't work too hard and enjoy your days off............



My goodness, another busy day!

Finally sitting down waiting for dinner.......had a fun day though too.......this afternoon did some last minute clothes shopping. DH is looking at the ever growing stuff appearing hanging up after I wash them........he has a worried look and keeps glancing at our suitcases and wondering if he's going to end up with a grocery store carrier bag for his stuff.......

All new stuff washed, dried and going to iron everything after dinner. Got DS and DH a load of new shirts too......busy night ahead ironing........


Dinner is ready.........hope everyone's good

Today is flying by for some reason

Lynne - wow, your DD is almost all grown up! Nothing like chillin on a catamaran. How's the snorkeling? Make sure to have some pics of trip ready to share when I see u in October . KW sounds pretty nice to me, at least in off-season or when a cruise ship hasn't emptied out into it.

Charade - yes, TSA is tough when it comes to cruise ships. Crazily enough Mexico always madde a big deal when we entered via a flight a few years ago, mostly about possessions. Um, how many people visiting really will smuggle crap into Mexico? Money, i get that as to max u can bring, but they were very aggressive going thru luggage. Seemed like every 3rd carryon bag.

Wolf! Holy moly, that's a long stint @ the salt mine for you. Talk about needing a vacation!

I got lucky with the dentist, just X-rays. He has big plans, needs a pre-authorization from insurance company. Usuallydoesn't as a direct participant. Can't wait to see what my co-pay is. Some sort of crown made for those with bruxism/teeth grinders of which i am guilty as charged.

Happy Thursday!!!!

10 DAYS!!!!

Epic!

Lush = a drunk in my neck of woods lol. I get a giggle when carole uses it

Awesome.. with 10 days to go, it's time for an emergency trip to the dentist. A tooth the doctor said might give me trouble, has decided to give me trouble. I see either an extraction or root canal/crown tomorrow.. wheeee....

I jinxed u, oh no! Good luck.

 

[Chuckers]

I jinxed u, oh no! Good luck.

Actually, @keishashadow , it's better it happen now than when I am actually at UO. I can have it taken care of and healed by the time I get on the plane Because NOTHING is stopping me from taking this trip, gol dang it!

 

[Chuckers]

240 hours!!! I CAN'T STAND IT!!!

 

[Charade67]

Greetings everyone. I should be paying bills right now, but I’m just not in the mood.



Schumigirl – I use the word tad a lot. I thought it was fairly common here. Guess not.


Chuckers – I can’t say much about dentists. Most people don’t like me when I do. My husband had a piece of a front tooth fall off yesterday. No idea why. I think the dentist is working him in sometime this afternoon.


I am envious of those of you who are so close to your vacation. I hate waiting.


I am still going back and forth with the school over the PSAT. I have just learned that just because eh has an IEP in her high school it doesn’t automatically allow her to have testing accommodations for the PSAT. You have to submit a request to the College Board weeks in advance. I don’t know how a parent is supposed to know this. Well, it’s too late for the PSAT, but I will work on getting her some extra time for the SAT when it comes around.


I must leave soon to go get the kid. She really needs to learn how to drive soon.

I should be working but I'm too excited to get much accomplished.. next week is going to DRAG and then time speeds up.

I am not a fan of dentists.. I need too much Novocaine to get anything done.

I was where you were in waiting for my vacation. But your's is double.. 50th birthday as well! My 50th was in Disneyland Paris... waiting was excruciating! But well worth it!

 

[Squirlz]

Hemingway kitties! Glad to hear you're having fun. One thing that has kept me a way from key west thus far is the pervasive party atmosphere (yeah i know, some of you are giggling .).

Have had friends complain beaches far & few between in key west proper. What's your take?
.

There is SO much history in Key West. It's fascinating, much much more than just bars. Although that's definitely part of why we go. And the food! But no it's not a beach destination. There are some beaches but nothing special. Mostly rocky.

We love the sunset celebration every night and our friend Dominique, the crazy French cat man. He has a trained cat show every night at sunset.



My Wife got to hold 2 Hemingway kittens last year on her birthday. We were at the Hemingway House and there was a cage with 4 kittens in it. Later we were watching as the wranglers had 2 of them in a quiet area playing. One ran off in the direction of my Wife and they said "Grab him!" so she did. She had told one of them it was her birthday earlier so they let her hold them. That's something the public rarely gets to do.




We'll be back there October 6 for twelve nights. Can't wait!

 

[schumigirl]

Keisha.......Lush is used in that way here too.......lol.......I know a couple of those folks too continued good wishes for the dentist and that he is kind to you.......

Charade, I always find it funny the way different words are used or not used in different parts of the country.....and world of course.........fanny pack here lends itself to a whole new thought process

Chuckers we like DLP......or used to. First went in August 1992 the year it opened, about a month before we got married (surprise wedding gift from DH) and have been many times since, but not for a good few years. We prefer just going to Paris itself though.



Yep, 50th birthday is getting closer for me too........breakfast in New York and dinner in Orlando........not a bad way to spend the day!

 

[Lynne G]

Apparently, little one is good at feeding fish. Tarpon taking a fish from her hand. Made such good time. Stopped and got some things, then found an ice cream shop close to the airport that gives huge home made ice cream. 2 scoops are over 1/2 pound. Waiting out our time eating ice cream than sitting in the airport. Thirsty Thursday indeed.

DLP was an eye opener for me. Being so used to how Disney operates over here in the states, I was surprised at many things in DLP. For example, I had THE WORSE birthday meal ever at DLP. The wait staff was abysmal. the food at a premiere restaurant was pretty bad. The whole park needed a patch and paint. They were renovating Space Mountain for their 25th and the 'barriers' they put up were an eyesore. WDW and DL would NEVER operate like that. I think now that Disney owns DLP again, it's going to be different. I want to go back. I still had an awesome vacation (spent 3 days in Paris before hitting DLP) and was very excited to be in DLP on my 50th that even the bad parts are just glitches in a great trip. (I was also with one of my best friends and so happy to be going with someone.)

I did 40th at WDW, 45th at DL, 50th at DLP, and I am planning on turning 55 at Disney Shanghai.

I hope you have an awesome 50th!!!

Shame.

Despite not really being Disney fans, we always had a fabulous time there. Restaurants were always top notch for us and we much prefer their Space Mountain to WDW.

We do love Paris though. It's very special to us. My husband proposed to me on the Eiffel Tower.......it was very romantic.



Very dull evening here.......got all ironing done and they've hung them all up. Now about to put tv on for an hour or so and having a cup of Earl Grey.........

I'm quite upset that Space Mountain was closed when I went. I've heard from friends who visited every Disney park that it's the best one.
