Something About Nothing ... #12

Great Thursday pictures Schumi.

Yeah, what is that with the hours Mac? I actually had to look at your post like 5 times. What? I am a very early riser, and have been known to be in the parks for hours before the kids arrive. Some days, though, I do sleep in. I'm on vacation after all.

Still not enjoying having a head cold. I hate when my ears ring, and nose feels like after taking too much water in the nose after swimming. Hasn't stopped me though. More medicine and lots of water drinking.

My DH was so nice, he was mad at me for not leaving to drop his car off for service when he wanted to go, (he woke me up), on the way home, he agreed to take me out to dinner. Was nicer yet, both kids were home, and had made dinner for all of us. Double eating! LOL

So, once again, a gray start to the day, no sun has been seen for days, and more rain for us. It's getting depressing. I really like the sun most of the time. It feels good this time of year. We're at 45 today, hoping to be at least 50 by noon. Depends on the thickness of the cloud cover. By the looks of it, we'll be lucky to be 50.

Take care all, and have one awesome Thursday! It's 5 and 5 today. 5/5/16.

I've done EE once....that was enough for me. It was right after DA opened. I think it was a 7 am EE and we got there at 5:45 and all the turnstiles were already 20 deep. It was fun but that's probably my one and only time doing it.

We did EE once for DA the day after grand opening and once for IOA HP.

@pcstang @tinydancer09 @Bluer101 No EE for us either! My Mom and I ALSO planned, ummm, tried, ummm thought about doing it when were there for DA opening week. I came on here and saw that there was already a line at 530AM. No me gusta. Back to sleep.

@macraven @schumigirl i agree. i too think they are trying to even out the crowds. that is the first thing i thought when you posted.

@schumigirl i have a cactus that I would LOVE for you to come and kill! Previous owners left one in a pot on the back deck. Never paid much attention to the darn thing. I was giving DD4 (3 at the time) her bath - brushed her hair and everything and then noticed this awful scary looking growth ON HER HEAD. In the front - just at her hairline. My Dad is a retired PA (specialist in Urgent Care) who happened to visiting - so I called him in. Yep. Cactus quills. Or whatever you call them. She had bent down to look at the cactus and the top of her head hit the pricklies. They were about 30 - 40 LODGED in there quite nice. And they were transparent so you could hardly see them. She was super brave and let us pull them out one by one. And it took some muscle! Garbage people wouldn't take it so I just put it up on our retaining wall for now. Darn thing is just surviving.

@Lynne G hope you feel better soon. sending you good vibes for warmer weather and a boosted immune system!

@Kivara how is hubby feeling?

on another note - this week is teacher appreciation week. i had no idea it was so involved! monday was bring a treat for your teachers day, tuesday was bring a flower for each teacher day, wednesday - bring 2 dishes for their potluck lunch day, today is bring a card day and tomorrow is bring coffee and donuts for your teachers day.

eeeks - my mom is a (now retired) teacher and i don't remember any of this!

DH is doing a bit better, made it to work today anyhow Hopefully we are in the final stretch of this. This week seems to have dragged! Can't wait to get out of the house this weekend...going to see Capt.America Saturday & get the boys new sandals and swim trunks for vacation...3 weeks and counting!

goND...try flooding that cactus with water. That's how I killed one. They love to dry out, and turn way to mushy when over-watered That or "gift it" to your most annoying neighbor? haha

Fly by-Hi all
Good to hear peeps on the mend
Did check out free dining dates-dates still available for when I checked...however for cost can do cruise for 4 of us...and I really want to do the cruise. Have got lots of PIN codes (and so has oldest DD). Even got an offer for 20% off select Disney cruises-too bad their prices are so dang high that even 20% off is still roughly twice other lines!

Did training for new job-since I am covering for a maternity leave the nursing homes I am covering won't be mine-need to talk to new boss and see if there will be enough places to cover after summer is over to work 2-3 days per week-when we talked initially it sounded like there would be. Want to give notice at current job by end of May...

Been very nice here-cooler (upper 60's to 70's) but supposed to start warming up (80's) and sunny.
And my DD graduates TOMORROW!!! I am not OLD enough to have a high school graduate!! Taking her to get nails done after finals today.

My son was all ready for May the 4th yesterday.

AAK-enough computer time-gotta clean house before my hair appointment at noon today!

 

[Lynne G]

a big WAHOO to Mony's DD. Congratulations graduating tomorrow! I have to wait a month, our high school does it the middle of June. Cannot believe 18 years have gone by so fast. Then I got little one 3 years after. I am still learning to say my kid will be in college. I'm not that old, right?

And since we celebrate with our southern neighbors:

Yep, good reason to raise a drink for this Mexican holiday.


Time to search for something to eat, when not much tastes like it should right now. Soup, but now I feel hot, so not sure. I will find something though, not starving this cold.

[schumigirl]

goND........that was nasty with your daughter and the cactus, bless her.......you should have just chucked it in the bin........yeah send it over.....it'll be gone in days!

MonyK.......cool picture of the boy........congrats on DD graduating tomorrow........how lovely, but yes quite scary! My son graduates from University in July after finishing a Masters Degree in Chemical Engineering........can't believe he's 22!!! He actually had his last lecture today.......just a few assignments and he's done in 2 weeks.........where does the time go.......


We had heat today........real heat and sunshine........only reached 72f in our garden but after the cold weather we've had it was bliss.........

So all beds changed, washed and dried outside........love days like this........hope it stays a few days.

YEP!!! The years...They DEFINITELY FLY BY!!! Gage is graduating HS in exactly one month!!! (FOURTH kiddo for us to get through the same High School!!! "Only" 1 more left!!!)

 

[macraven]

i've been a bump on the log today.
sitting and looking out the window.
but, no snow coming down so that is a good thing.......

monyK, congrats on the daughter's congrats for graduation tomorrow!
you are one proud mama and rightly so.



teacher appreciation week.....don't get me started.
when i was teaching last year, schools stopped all celebrating practices of bowing down to the teachers.
but administration did provide doughnuts and coffee in the break room for the morning.
i tell you, parents are more into the treats than the principals secretary ever was..........lol

Lynne, hope you are feeling better and will be good for the weekend
it is more important to be well on weekends than weekdays.
you can still go to work sick but slack off some.
if you are sick on the weekend, you just blew your time at home bye bye.....
hope you are back to normal when you wake up on saturday!

looking over the past comments for the last 2 pages, majority rules that EE is not going to happen.
Lynne, Carole, Buckeev, tinyD, pcstang, bluer, goND and me won't be getting up with the chickens.


we know monyk gets up with the chickens so i don't think she is on the above list....



i'm still trying to figure out all the cactus pins in goNd's daughter scalp...........
don't think she mentioned if her little cried about the pins hurting her.

 

[buckeev]

I think I've made it clear that I've never made it to early entry. Ever. I'm thinking about doing a tour at the motherland for my birthday and they're only before 9. That's going to be rough. I really should have done early entry this last trip as we only had 2 park days but... I think my friends might have fallen out had we. I finally got them to close down a park wth me though. TWICE. That's my favorite.... Walking the streets at night. I always take the long way to exit.

I used to tell people if I had to human before 9 or 10AM(be up, dressed, and out the door) I require chicken minis or a Hardee's biscuit. I had a boy that knew this and would deliver just that when he'd make me wake up early to see him. Really thought he was going to be a winner now I know the winner is probably going to be the one who lets me sleep in

Happy Thursday! You've made it to the other side of the week and the weekend is just around the bend now. Headed back to the coast this week. Mother's Day is this weekend and then moms birthday is the 16. She's been jonesing for pancake/breakfast so think I'm going to do that on Friday when I get there. mmmm bacon and grits.

...

HA! Poor-Poor-CORNFUSED TinyD! Guys. Winners. ...Good luck with that!!! (Sez the father of FOUR girls!!! and of course-Gage.)

Congrats to @buckeev and @Lynn G on your graduating seniors too!!! Not sure where time went-my middle starts 9th grade in the fall and we will be looking at colleges for her soon
Schumi congrates on the university grad!

And Macraven is right-may not be actually up with the chickens (although it does depend on the light-definitely up before they are in winter when it is still dark at 7 am!) but I did EE both days we stayed at RPR...Family made it first day, 2nd day only one kid made it...LOL.

Heck I did EMH at Disney-full day at Star Wars weekend-then closed down MK (EMH) one day last year. Was an EPIC day!! Especially as it was me and my girls (the boys wimped out and went back to Beach club to swim and sleep) went to MK til 2 am...Who sleeps at Disney? Or Universal?

NOT ME! I can't hardly sleep in hotels, but when I do it's after 2 am.... I usually set my alarm for 9 which means I'm usually walking out of the hotel around 1030 because I hit snooze for 30 minutes.... Most the time I have to drug myself to sleep (Benadryl) so when I do finally fall asleep I'm super groggy waking up. I LOVE night time stuff though. When at Disney I love when they're open until midnight. I've even been there until after 1am before. LOVE LOVE LOVE! All the kids go home and it's such a different atmosphere. Plus you get a parade nearly to yourself. However, dark side doesn't get to do that as much because of the neighborhoods but...

Busy dance day. I got all the dances done except the exit on one and the walk in on another. 2 weeks til rehearsals!

Got home and my sister was planning our (her) Disney trip for my birthday. Of course if she liked universal we'd go there... She took the whole week off though so I am kind of obligated to plan something with her. Disney will work. Universal just does way more stuff for birthday people

Now time to pack....

 

[macraven]

You are a great sister to do the motherland and celebrate her bday there

You two will have fun no matter where you go


I prefer melatonin over Benadryl for getting to sleep

phooey on the prince line.

keep your eyes on Shrek....
he'll be faithful and loads of fun especially if you like rolling in mud.


you have lots of time until your one and only appears tinyD.

i can't believe i have spent a long time trying to merge two threads into one.

i did it the first week i was a mod and doing the same steps but it's not working tonight.......dang.

tinyD, you know the two threads with the same title for hopping pot.
i laughed at your post of deja vu.....mainly because i was going back and forth from each thread and saying to myself, this is nuts, i just answered the question, where did it go....?
then i saw it was two different threads. lol

i have the two threads near each other now but think i have a glitch as this is as good as it gets tonight.

I was going back into the first one I posted in to delete my comment as I realized the OTHER topic had answers and conversation in it... and you had already replied. so then I was like crap... "reply to mac and try to explain what I meant" oh no now she's replying to the other OH NO! lol
