Something About Nothing ... #12

[tinydancer09]

Will do! Kong...TM rides are going on still and after park close tonight.

I'm mad at you. I cant believe you didn't pick me up. I was even in Tallahassee the day you left!!! GAH! Enjoy your trip! I should have just gone when I wanted to in May. Now the rates are too expense for me to do just a solo.

MAC'S BACK! Glad you made it home safe. I was worried there for a minute.

Looks like the TS is going to be a direct hit to me in GA. I'm okay with that. It's best if the storm hits from the east of the beach houses and we need the rain. I'm far enough in I don't have to worry about the ocean. Close enough that if it grows tonight we could have power outages though. There was one several years back that took this track and knocked out power for a while. It's surprising close to go directly to the ocean from my house... which people usually are baffled by because I'm in GA. However, this storm doesn't look like it has much to it. That storm I'm talking about I think ended up being a CAT 1 or more before landfall.

Made a delicious breakfast casserole for dinner. The cooking bug is in me and things have finally slowed down enough for me to be able to try all these recipes! My calendar currently has one thing on it for June. I'm going to go crazy. Mom's house isn't done so I still can't go to the beach for a while. She's thinking it's going to be after the 4th now!!!! yikes.

Reports/Rumors on twitter are that the kong walls are down. Again... just twitter/rumors. Have not seen for my own two eyes. @pcstang ARE YOU LISTENING! Go check it out in the morning!!!

 

[tinydancer09]

It was fun and I like loud! But, I know a lot of people don't. That was MM, I already had 1 or 12 drinks so my video skills were severely lacking! Heading to citywalk nowmaybe I'll have a few to celebrate for all the homies here..

Ha... so THATs why the video is like that. I was wondering but wasn't going to say anything!!!!

Glad peeps made it home safe (well we aren't sure about pcstang yet...-Wasn't there supposed to be a thread/review of drinks from various places?)

Lynne-yay on DD and teams win! Hope you dry out soon!

We finally did dry out and the weekend was gorgeous. Swimming, mini golf and ice cream Saturday. DH brought the jetski down later saturday (had a brief hard rain-kinda reminded me of Florida with the brief squalls). Was some kind of power boat race this weekend at Lake of the Ozarks. Today took the jetski out -my arms are tired! Not too badly sore (yet) - did get a couple good wake jumps. Then off to Captain Ron's for some beach time before we headed for home. Everyone is really worn out now...but I had to do some laundry and change sheets on my bed as I know it was before Memorial Day last time I did-we just haven't been home! And oldest DD and I head to Fayetteville Tuesday for her orientation. June is racing by!

And Monday is coming much too fast LOL

 

[pcstang]

TD -I looked for you at the exit but you weren't there! OMG, stayed at my uncles hotel this trip. Idrive is s nightmare! Just left millers ale house in LB and meet the coolest couple. We never even are dinner! Lots of fireball though! At Steak 'n Shake now! Kong walls were still up earlier. I'll go by and check it out before I head home tomorrow.

Congrats to Lynne's hellions!

It's Monday! The sun is out, everything's green, and the rain is out to sea.
Woke up feeling not well, DS did too, guess we both had the Monday blues. Big cup of tea and a tastykake, and I am feeling better.

PC, I drive is always bonkers. Glad you are having a good time. Safe travels home.

TinyD, hope your storm is quick and not so bad, like ours. Some areas got hit harder than where I live, so we were happy.

Tink - cute name for kitty. I guess momma cat will let you catch all her kitties one of these days.

MonyK - safe travels with DD. Orientation already! Wow! My DS has yet to graduate. Won't be until next week. Then, college does not start until end of August. So, I guess his orientation won't be until later this summer. He's already met with his counselor, so he's pretty much set. We got the bill already though, so the money drain has started. LOL

Needed by those with teenage boys!

Morning homies!

 

[tinydancer09]

This is the strangest tropical storm ive seen in a long time. There's no spin to it! Then again... I'm no metorologist. I just like the stereotypical spin tropical storms have. Only have one person worried about the storm at the moment. 1 of 18. We'll see how that ratio looks later today

 

[marciemi]

I know you've all been concerned so you'll be glad to know we were able to change our Discovery Cove reservations from today until this coming Saturday, without paying extra! Works well because that was the date we originally wanted (but they didn't have the AP/FL Resident rates available when we booked) and now my husband didn't have to take today off and can deal with the Tropical Storm crises at work as they pop up. Of course now that we changed it last night it's just been overcast all day today so far so probably would have been fine for at least part of the day. Hoping for nicer weather Saturday though!

 

[Lynne G]

That's great DC worked with you Marci. Here's hoping not much to the storm that hits your area, and your Saturday will be beautiful with sunshine and nicely warm.

 

[macraven]

Marcie, crossing my fingers your DC day will have beautiful weather!

 

[ky07]

Good afternoon homies

 

[Lynne G]

Hi KY! Trip coming up soon? Right?




Have a good night all!

 

[macraven]

St L
Are you counting down the numbers yet for the trip ?

Nice you have both of your boys at home again

I can remember when your oldest one moved to another continent!

Yes it's 12 days to go and yes it's good to have both ds's home and oldest ds loved Australia to visit but don't think he wants to live there again

 

[disneyholic family]

Here was our view from the grandstands today. You see downtown Detroit in the distance. A couple of great races!

grandstands for what? what race?

 

[Lynne G]

A hello to Disneyholic!

A happy Tuesday to all!

No Keisha, no camel yet. Almost that time in the summer, when you don't know what day it is. Kids will be out of school soon.

Time for tea and coffee, good morning Mac.

 

[keishashadow]

morning all, driving by whilst GD rots her brain watching cartoons pre breakfast. Have her for two nights. don't remember any of boys being quite so high maintenance. maybe it's a girl thing?

tinyD tuck, duck and cover from that storm. so much rain eeee. some storms here, finally got that cold front. 60's next two days. A might cooler than i'd like, how about some upper 70's or mid 80's weather Gods? feast or famine so far this year here.

I only watched a part of preacher last week
Is it that good?

Almost gave up on 1st episode, stick with it. wicked good - irreverent, fast-paced, violent and bloody. one of those programs I have to rewind several times to get it all. No idea of the ratings but hope they keep it going.

Nice to enjoy Citywalk PC. Have fun for me.

Well, we survived the quick, nasty storm. Tons of water on most of the highway, and high winds took the tents airborne. Umbrella was no use either with the wind. But, with the passing of any bad weather, it is a beautiful sunset. Told my DD that red skies at night are a sailor's delight, red skies in the morning are a sailor's warning. She asked what yellow skies meant. I said, that means the sun is setting. Lots of chirping from the birds, guess they are settling down for the night after hiding from the storm.

Yay! DD's team won first place in the weekend tournament, and got a nice medal to add to collection. First tournament with her new team

Congrats!!! that's a go-to saying here, carry over from my Dad lol

love Miller's Ale house chain! none up in our neck of woods. Haven't tried the one near U, usually go to one in LBV or other off Sherbeth Rd when staying down that way. Cannot believe how cheap the drink & food prices are there vs in the parks. nice to rub shoulders with mostly locals & fun to try to figure out 'where' they work based upon their uniforms. we joke are they coming or going to work.

doesn't look like they've fixed the acoustics @ NBA lol.

why yes, I was wondering. It's very rare for them to allow weather changes. Wonder if they had intended to shut operations that day? Always book it early in the trip jik we'd have to reschedule, hasn't happened yet - knock on wood.

Just swinging by been too busy at work and home.

pcstang,

Are you doing July 4th at the parks?
