[schumigirl]

Glad you left the light on mac.........DS has another early start today.......he usually starts at 9 but some days they go in at 8 to the office..........today is an early start! I need a lay in...........

Janet, if ever I decide to go on a cruise I know you’ll be the reason behind it.......Tom will thank you forever........ it’s just trying to fit it in!!



One of our wine groups are having a big event later this month.....sounds fabulous.......but, of course it’s on the days we are booked to go to Scotland........it would be..........this is our favourite group so I’m sorry to miss it.....but we’ll be in a very nice hotel visiting family.

Grocery shopping this morning.......always a dull thing to do........no sunshine so far this morning......and will get our RoF with EP tickets sorted out too..........really expected a massive price jump this year!

Now to decide what’s for breakfast............

Good morning all. I didn’t really want to be up yet, but dh and I have a meeting with an attorney this morning. Hmmm....that sounds kinda bad doesn’t it? We are just meeting her to update our wills. We haven’t updated them since...well..ever.

Yesterday I had a nice trip down memory lane. A friend posted to Facebook that it was her son’s last day of his Junior year and it seems like just yesterday she and I were planning the preschool graduation. I found a copy of the program we made for the preschool graduation and sent it to her. Then I found the video we had made of the class and sat down and watched it. It’s hard to believe they were once so tiny.

Next I decided to make sure I knew where all of B’s dance recital videos were. All are in boxes except the 2 DVDs from her first year. I tried to find boxes for them, but could only find them in packs of 25 or more. Finally I went to the dollar store and bought 2 DVDs, threw away the discs and the paper cover insert, made my own covers, and put the recital DVDs in the boxes. Of course I had to watch the recital DVDs too. I fast forwarded to the parts that had my tiny dancer.

DH and I have different views when it comes to kids having cars. He didn’t have a car in high school or college (didn’t get his license until he was 21) so he thinks B does’t need one either. I got a car when I was 16. (1976 AMC Pacer) I needed mine though. My other never learned to drive, so us kids had to be chauffeur when my dad was at work and even more so after my parents divorced. He may change his mind if she keeps asking to borrow his car. But....she has to get a license first. In Virginia you must be 15 years and 6 months in order to get a learners permit and to get the actual license you must be 16 years and 3 months and have had a learnerr’s permit for at least 9 months.

I’m out of time. Will check in later.

Good Morning! A more like summer day, 82, and sun. Wahoo!

Another wahoo, yes DH not at work today. Lazy breakfast with older one at a nice diner. Yum.

So later, time to enjoy and smell is lush.

I did read the extra three months were through the end of the year. My kids passes expire at the end of November so I was disappointed we just missed it then. Right now, our tentative Beijing date is July 15, 2019 so it doesn't matter for the next year unless I spend a couple extra months in FL. Which, I may decide to do in Winter so it could help out. Hubby has a meeting announcing "exciting things" on Tuesday with all of Universal creative Beijing so we will see if that changes our leave date.

Lynne - I'll have to see if my thrill rider is willing. My thrill rider is a wimp with being too hot too long. I can get her to handle it now, but she's often over it by Augut. I can no longer handle Hulk or RRR myself physically. (I could still handle dueling dragons though). I miss the days of being able to handle all the coasters. Me showing up solo has a better possibility but that won't help her much.

Keisha - Ah, slime. Welcome to my world. Two of my kids are really into making slime. So far, I've outlawed loose glitter though. I pay the extra and buy them the glitter glue for my sanity.

Schumi - Yay Friday! I don't do early myself if I can help it.

Charade - I'm impressed you had so many of the dance DVD 's.

Looking forward to HHN as well. Not sure which days I'll do. I only went twice last year and would like to go more this year. I have night driving vision issues so it depends when I can find someone to go with me who will drive me. It worked well to have express just for one day and do whatever on the other day. The scare zones were my favorite due to the extra interaction but I'm glad I did every house

Friday rules....

Well, everyday is Friday to me

 

[pattyw]

Happy Friday all!!

Not working today- but think I'd be better off behind my desk as I'm tackling yard work today! Sometimes I don't like having a large yard!

Received good news about Kyle's fiancee and her job search in Ft. Lauderdale. She got a job offer from Plantation General Hospital for a labor/delivery nurse!! So, they have a place to live and she has a job! Next, the big move!!

 

[schumigirl]

hey kohlby…….missed your post...…..

Friday rules....

Well, everyday is Friday to me

lol...….me too!!!!!!

I got into trouble for telling a friend this afternoon to cheer up it was Friday...…..She reminded me it was ok for me as I didn't work and she was working this weekend...…...oops!!!! lol......she did laugh though...….

She`s a lawyer, and its unusual for her to work weekends...….but she`s in this weekend!!! Won`t be expecting her for a drink tonight...….



No sunshine today...…….little on the cold side....but watching free practice from Canada and the GP weekend there...….I like this race a lot!!

Rum cocktails tonight for us I believe...…...

TGIF! Just sitting here with my coffee and browsing through the recent posts and wishing I had a summer vacation plan. No such luck but I will just continue my mini vacations every weekend. Schumi (was it Schumi?) I stole your "bored minion meme" I need that one.

Don't have a lot to contribute today. Just thought I'd wander on in and catch up. A lot of you have exciting news re: kids and travel plans and I am not forgetting lasagne (because it is a favorite). I am doing laundry while sipping coffee . Not much to report from my end...I don't even have any pets to talk about.

 

[Lynne G]

Hey Agavegirl, mini vacations are awesome. I hope you back is not giving you pain, and counting down the day you will have surgery that will make you well.

Kohlby, exciting year as you count down to China. If even solo, I could use some company when little one is riding, if your kid does not want to come. We have entry to VB, so if hot, maybe meet up with kid there. Either way, would nice to say hi to you in person.

Hehe, Friday every day, Mac.

I am with Patty, not working today. Spent the morning with older one, then got laundry out. Now chilling and hoping little one properly set up a new printer.

 

[pattyw]

Lynne- I need to chill! Just call me a northern heat wimp!! It's 76 and sunny. I've been out weeding and cleaning up the yard. I'm so hot- after about an hour and a half!! I'm inside with the a/c cooling off!

 

[Lynne G]

I am lucky, I let DH do the outside work, Patty. I just told him where to put a new bush in our garden. If he does today, more rain for the weekend. Boo.

Yep, first day we have the AC on, was warmer than most of this week. But not to be happy, weekend in 60’s and rain.

 

[macraven]

I'm ready for Saturday

Going to work on my rose bushes early morning before the heat begins again

 

[Lynne G]

Love roses.

Sleep in Saturday, and it better be. Both kids still out tonight.

Mac, better leave the light on for them, we are getting ready for bed.

 

[macraven]

I hope they are home now as I am turning off the lights

I'm ready for Saturday

It`s here!!!!


Been a busy bee this morning......up early and sent off some emails.....

Breakfast, then laundry...…..where....bearing in mind I watched the new Halloween trailer last night...….not a good idea!!! Spent half the night staring at all the closet doors

So, I`m in the laundry room this morning, folding clothes and singing the song Jamie Lee Curtis quietly sings in the first movie and in the trailer...….staring out to the endless trees and hills in the distance...….and thinking actually Michael Myers could be out there...….(yes, I know )...….anyway I turn around and there is Tom standing......right behind me.....I screamed like I`ve never screamed before!!!!! I just hadn't heard him come in, although I do believe from his laughter afterwards that was his idea

My heart was still pounding afterwards!!! Not the best start to the day...…...I did hear mumblings of "too easy to scare"

So, eventually, laundry all done, bathrooms all cleaned and beds all changed...….time to chill now!!

Chose some nice wine for tonight...…… Quiet Saturday night again...…..friends think we`re hibernating...…...

 

[Lynne G]

So, DH thought my idea of a lazy, sleep in Saturday was not a good thing. Woke at 4:30am, and well so much for that. Little one has training, so she was out the door with DH. So, just woke older one up, yep another morning with my breakfast food enjoying kid.

Hibernating is a great weekend style for me! Wine Saturday, I think in honor of your spooky movie, it should be a red Schumi.

Satisfying Saturday to all the homies, may your day be pleasant and your heal good.

 

[pattyw]

Happy Saturday all!! A beauty here!! Outside to get our yard in shape!!

So exciting about all the HHN news!! In honor of HHN 2018:

 

[macraven]

Schumi what a different way do start your morning

Hhn starts early in your house.

Good practice for you before you get to hhn

Happy Saturday homies!
