Something About Nothing ... #12

[tinydancer09]

Found it Mac! I bumped it so I don't lose it again since I plan on adding to it after DDs 21st Epcot stumble.

Who wants to write my grocery list for me? I am sooooo over this domesticated thing and am considering going feral.

I love grocery shopping. Especially when it's not my money. Now planning your meals and what your family eats may not seem like the most fun... I eat like an unsupervised 8 year old sometimes. I do know how to cook though.... Hmm shark food. Are you like the finding nemo sharks or like the great whites during shark week?

cleaning.......

and maybe some cooking..

Eh... Cleaning.. no. Cooking I'd love to! I don't dislike cleaning my own house. I highly dislike cleaning other peoples and places. I really need to tackle the dance studio. There's so much dust and it makes me sickkkkk!

@schumigirl hope you have safe travels and fun in the big apple! I've never actually been... I need to go one of these days.


We had a small rehearsal today and I got to check out the stage. It's a lot bigger than I remember it when I was in high school! I think I feel much better about lights and music now. My biggest worry now is that we won't be able to hear the tap shoes tapping... The stage is carpet and they were putting a floor on top of it for us. Well.. that floor, I didn't know, is just a rolled out piece of Marley. I though it was something hard with marley on top of it. Nope. Hm... Better than not having a place to dance right? Really glad I didn't do an irish tap dance right about now. I would have been up ehem's creek.

Big rehearsal at the studio tomorrow. All the dancers! ALL OF THEM. Little kids at 3, big kids at 5:30. Gunna be a longgggg day. I'm heading to the studio around lunch to clean a bit and turn the AC on so it won't be hot and maybe I wont get too sick if I get rid of some of the dust.

Oh, and I'm in charge of picking out the music for blank periods with no music and before recitals start/after they end. The title of the recital is Jet Set and we're "traveling" to different countries. (So kind of around the world/Traveling theme).... I shouldn't be in charge of this. I'm not mature enough. I am seriously considering "I Believe I can Fly" by R Kelly... HAHA! Don't think the studio owner would find it as humorous...

Happy Tuesday everyone!

I might need to keep them on for schumi or she might not be able to find her plane.

But yes, pretty busy. I like "junk" food too. I make lots of pastas, pizzas, tacos... meats. Bread. Breakfast. mmmm I don't eat "Fancy." Nor do I really eat veggies.. I wish I were a more diverse eater, but I truly just don't like the stuff. All the veggies I eat are starches!

Goodnight all! Even I'm calling it a night. Finally finished up making the cds for tomorrow. Hoping I have everything right. :| Taking the computer just in case.

You night owl homies kill me. I'm happily sleeping by then, well most of the time.

Woke up at 2am, the rain was noisy. Woke up at 3:30am, thought I heard someone downstairs. Kids apparently left the tv on, and most of the lights. Woke up at 5am to get ready for the day. I'll be more like a zombie tonight.

So, safe travels Schumi and Mum. It's a beautiful sunny start to a rainy day. I am assuming NY will be the same weather. You're in for a treat, as we'll have warmer weather at the end of the week. I hope you packed some warm weather clothes.

So, time for a hot cup of tea. Get those coffee cups out. Morning y'all!

 

[Lynne G]

- Mac, those kitties need breakfast. Don't let them drink your coffee before you do.

 

[macraven]

Cats in a cup ....... So sweet

 

[goNDmay9]

just popping in to say hi! whirlwind since my last post. orlando, jacksonville and destin back to back with a crazy work week in between. leading right into the girls last week of school (spirit week, end of year party, water party oh my!). cannot wait to catch up on everyone. hope you all are having a wonderful tuesday!

 

[goNDmay9]

@schumigirl love the pics!!!!

 

[Bluer101]

Well, it seems like it has reached the time to let my 5 AP's lapse. I've been checking for months on resort rates and they are crazy and my platinum upgrade is never available...

You better not, we are all in this together.

I know it's hard with PBH to get the parlor suite upgrade since they are very limited, we discussed this. With your family that's hard for you not to get that suite. We are lucky with just the three of us for RPR King suite.

The only thing I can say is book way in advanced for trips then if you decided to cancel you get your money back. That's one way to secure the suite as Platnium status.

Morning all...still is technically Only 4 days till we leave Super excited and starting to get scary, as I have yet to pack a single thing! Eek!

Youngest DS had a terrible night, so he & I only got about 1 1/2 hours of sleep...kinda in a fog right now, hoping I don't fall down the steps doing laundry Of course, it had to be last night that he couldn't sleep, as we spent all day yesterday in the park (school fun day & I volunteered) Our first really sunny day this year, and I got burnt (haven't had a sunburn in 20 years, and I never wear sunblock, even in Florida)

Middle DS injured his ankle, took him to the local clinic (as our ERs around here are usually 4 hour waits)...Thank the good Lord it was just twinged!!! I was so worried for him that he would be in a cast at Uni...ICK! Thankfully he is just on crutches with an air cast for a couple days to keep him off of it!

So that's my long-winded day or two in a nut shell.

Schumi, you and mom have a safe and wonderful trip!

Robo, hope you are having a great time enjoying those grandkids at Uni!

Tiny, love the song choice! I think I would add: Sailing (sung by Cartman/SouthPark) not a South Park fan, but him singing that always makes me giggle!

Mac, I will clean for you while TinyD makes us homemade pasta! YUM! Love Georgia...I've always said if we win the lottery (that we don't play ) that's where we are moving!

To everyone else hi

 

[keishashadow]

Was thinking of joining the walking dead last week. After winding up in ER the night we returned from trip, getting medicated, then being told I had bonus sickness the following week, just rolled with it and rested. Finally, started to feel like doing something. My bathrooms hadn't been touched since April 28th, one chore my men folk would never dream of tackling. talk about scary OMG.

Poor DD, picked her up from soccer practice and she was covered in hives. Not sure what set her off, but with benedryl in her and a hot shower, she feels a little better. Was itching all over on the drive home.

Have a good night homies!

#2 DS had a few minor reactions during football practices when 7 or so. One day so bad, his face swelled up, couldn't see out of his eyes by end of practice. After testing turned out he was allergic to poison ivy. It wasn't visible anywhere on the field but dr said it could be embedded in the ground. They also cautioned us as to the various chemicals sprayed upon the various fields that can cause reactions in kids who haven't been exposed to them in the past.

Only because I knew you all would share in my frustrated laugh...

So I asked if the Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party would be available in October (it looks like the event ends in June, but I wasn't sure) and this is the answer I received.

"Thank you for contacting the Walt Disney World® Resort.

Great! Could ya maybe ANSWER the actual question?

*siiiigh* Soooo... how's everyone's day so far?

lol throw a dart for a reliable answer. there's a blog and facebook where you can post but if they don't like what you post on the blog it typically goes 'poof'.

if the party is still profitable, they'll extend it, as they have since the inception. We really enjoyed it over a year ago @ Star Wars Weekends, but it's been dumbed down since unfortunately. Still, nice to have a table to hang on and unlimited adult beverages

Hey Schumi, Mac and Lynne. Thanks for the happy travel wishes. Flight was fairly uneventful except for a little turbulence. Not a fan of that, but beats driving 15 hours. Settled in at home. Heading up to Universal Sunday.

enjoy, loving the picture! reminds me of that old twilight zone episode wit william shatner & alien on the wing.

Eh, I'm always here! But we will be doing DC for the first time on June 6th so will be glad to report back here how it goes! DH & DS (21 tomorrow!) will be doing the dolphin swim as a graduation present (he graduates on June 3) and I'll go along to enjoy the day and take pics. (I did the dolphins once on a cruise and that was enough for me).

Going to guess u booked the AP rate. Was thinking of booking in October but need to activate our APs. Know we'd have to pay if doing so @ SW. Can't remember if Aquatica charge for parking. Need to visit either park beforehand, if one is cheaper for parking it will be the winner lol

Trust me, other than flipper being present, DC is absolutely nothing like what's offered on cruise excursions. Once you get inside the park it's hard to believe you're in Orlando, it's beautiful. Get there @ opening to grab an early swim time, to allow the rest of the day @ your leisure. I like to book 10:00 am. Allows time to grab a piece of beach, eat breakfast and get lay of the land. If taking pictures of the swim, there's a couple of spots that jut out on the side of the dolphin lagoon that offer nice vantage point vs the beach area.

 

[Lynne G]

Yay! Keisha's alive. Sucks to get back from vacation and not feeling well.

Kivara -eek. What adventures you've had. See my post above, I had a wonderful night sleep. NOT. Still waiting to see how much to fix the car that died on me. DH now has decided I can get a new car, but depending on the cost of repair, DS can have the fixed car. I said, my car's almost 10 years old, but after some thought, he's got a point. My niece wrecked 2 cars before she was 21. DS is 18, almost 19. Just an unexpected expenses to deal with. But on a happy and very happy note - Vacation for you! WAHOO!!!

And with that we have overcast skies, and here comes the rain, again. Yep Mac, I wish I could give ya some. My plants are enjoying these daily rains though.

 

[tink1957]

You can send me some of that rain too Lynne...my tomatoes need it.

I can sympathize with you on the car trouble Lynne, Trey's truck went in for major engine repairs last week and we still don't know how much it's costing it's supposed to be ready by the end of the week.

Good to see you're back among the living Janet. We miss you when you're gone.

Hope everyone is recovered by trip time Kivara...I used to be an early packer but now I wait until the last minute and it works fine. Have a wonderful trip

Guess I'll go plant the strawberries and flowers I bought last week...maybe it will rain soon on both of us mac.

Booked the AP rate for me & DH and with Robo's suggestion, upgraded DS' from the AP rate to the FL resident so he also gets the 14 days of SW & Aquatica for ~$50. That'll fall during the opening of Mako and I already registered for/downloaded our free one-time-use Express Passes for AP holders for that (but was able to assign mine to him to use).

Aquatica definitely charges for parking but not sure how it compares to SW - I can check it out when we're there a few times in June. However, when we activated our AP's at SW they just scanned them and waved us through with no charge (this was in January). We had been prepared to have Royce drop me off and activate them and then loop around or wait at drop-off but they didn't even ask - just scanned and sent us through.

I'm just not a big fan of things in the water with me. Or large creatures, whether horses or dolphins. I did it once with Royce but am happy to sit it out this time and be the photographer. Thanks for the advice on location! And we'll definitely be there early - just send some mummy dust for good weather!

Heading to AK Saturday for the first Jungle Book night show and night safari after! After hitting the old Soarin' first that afternoon at Epcot. Friday is our 28 year anniversary so guess that's how we're celebrating!

Good afternoon homies.
