Walking Dead for us tonight........

Hope last nights episode was worth waiting on.........I`ll give it another try......got a bit bored with last years episodes.....

 

[PoohIsHome]

It's Monday, it's raining.....I love this kid to the ends of the earth, but going back to bed and just letting him fend for himself and walking to school seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

Happy Monday, homies!!

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, Poohs, my kids have had to walk to school and back since elementary. I wake the teens up, and hope they don't go back to sleep. Little one has to get to school by 7:25.

Boo to You! It's a very dark and quite dense fog this morning. And oh so wet feeling. Not looking forward to the rain, and the heavy rain to come tomorrow. Umbrella ready. But, that means, warmer temps, as the rain is coming from the South. I'll take it. It was a beautiful, not to hot, sunny week-end. Yeah, stinks it was over so fast.

Ah, time for tea. It's going to be one of those days. I'd rather be sleeping right now.

Hope all have a nice Monday. It's October y'all.

Happy Monday all!

I had an awesome day at Six Flags yesterday, although it started off stupidly.

I got to the parking lot at 10am (after a 90 minute drive to get there), only to find out the park didn't open until noon. DOH!!! Luckily, they let us in the parking lot at 10:15. So, I had my pick of parking spaces!!
Got to the entry gates and there were already two guys there. I started talking to them and found that they are members of several coaster groups. We had a nice talk and when the gates opened, I went my way and they went there's. So, I immediately go to Wicked Cyclone because it's the most awesomest coaster in the park (I was actually in the first train of people to go.. that never happens!). I rode it twice and as I got off the second time, I see the two guys from the front gate walking up the exit path. One of them asks me if I want to ride again, I said sure. It turns out that he gets a VIP pass that allows him and 3 people to board from the exit for all rides in the park. I ended up hanging out with the two of them for the rest of my time there. In 3 1/2 hours we managed to hit every coaster (some twice) and have lunch because of his pass. He also gets the VIP pass at Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ and he's invited me to come down next season and enjoy a day at the park with him and his group.

So cool!

To think I almost didn't go because I was tired.. and then when I got there and found out I was 2 hours early, I almost left because I didn't want to wait.

Did you know that in 1824, John Quincy Adams was elected by the House of Representatives after Andrew Jackson won the most popular and electoral votes but failed to receive a majority.

Also, 1824 is the number of hours until my VACATION!!!

That's awesome Chuckers. I hope you do get to NJ. Extra fun when you get to go with a VIP holder.

[Metro West]

We are going to get a taste of fall this week with high temps in the upper 70s and lows in the 50s! Should be warm by weekend but HHN will be great Friday night!

 

[Lynne G]

That's awesome too, Metro West. It was so hot and muggy the Friday night I went to HHN. We have almost the same temps. 70's today, and because of the Southern wind, only in the 50's overnight. Had been in the low 40's overnight when the sky was without clouds.

Fog burned off, now a light and dark gray cloud cover. We will have rain by later today. Sure looks like rain.

Yeah...cloudy and windy days are perfect days to stay in the bed and read.

I love home made burgers on bun...with cheese of course. Also like most of the regular toppings but nothing too spicy. I don't like sweet potatoes so I won't fight you and K Man over the wedges...LOL.

I hope they are the lushest wedges you've ever experienced.

 

[PoohIsHome]

Mmmmm...sweet potato wedges.....says the one who has NO clue as to what she's going to feed this crew tonight.

Did I mention that it's raining and that I want to be in my bed??

@Chuckers, you have a vacation coming up???

 

[Charade67]

Just a quick post from me with a shameless mom brag. My daughter was accepted into the National Honor Society!!
I'll be back later tonight with a regular post.

Congrats Charade. A great Society to get into. My little one joined last year. Nice ceremony at the High School. And a funny. While in between the stopping of the music and reading for the next reading, my phone went off. I set it loud, as I keep it in my pocketbook, so I can hear it if not near my pocketbook. Well, my ring is the potter symphony, so the guy next to me thought they band was playing potter. Yeah, nope, just my phone.

Still yawning.

Since I have some steak left over from last night, will do fajitas, as have cheese, tomatoes and lettuce. Sour cream will only be eaten by older one. Little one and me no, oh, but probably DH will eat some if left over. DH will eat whatever I leave as left over.

Tick tock, 58 for me. Eek, that means just about 2 months until Christmas! Liking your countdown Chuckers.

 

[Chuckers]

Thanks @Lynne G

Congratulations @Charade67. I got in during my sophomore year, right before I failed a class.. go figure!

Do you have any trees in the line of the dish? Hope u got a clear picture.

I followed tink's lead & rewatched the showing of last season's episode. They touted new scenes, um maybe? Nice refresher though. No spoilers but I enjoyed the episode, couple of head scratching moments for me tho

Carole - pulled out some frozen hamburger patties I had portioned out a month or so ago. The mr on afternoon shift after working a double & getting home this am. Figured a quickie meal. Yuck, not sure what went on there but talk about absoutely tasteless results, tossed them. Every now & then the ground beef from the big grocery store is a bit off. May have to go back to buying a side of beef. Not a fan of messing with the odd cuts they toss into the package.

heavy rain starting to roll on thru here-wah. I play a game wherein i attempt to not fire up our boiler until November 1st. May not make it this year if it gets as cold this weekend as forecast. Noticed during drive home on interstate from my mom's medical appt that the leaves are finally starting to change, so late in the season.

Happy Monday? Busy weekend with band super regional in STL-middle kids band came in 17th-they take top 14 to finals (out of 68 bands this year) but now it has been 3 of past 4 years no finals. Seems the bigger scores are now going to bands that are more color guard dancing and high $$ props than actual marching and playing music at same time. Reminded me of the beginning of Pitch perfect 2 actually (dreadful movie although like the overall story). **rant over.

Stayed at the Drury Inn downtown-love the free full breakfast, cheap parking and afternoon "kickback" with food (heavy apps) and cocktails. Rainy and c-o-l-d sunday, better today but very windy and not really warm. At least they took the chance for snow showers Saturday out (for now). last soccer game is gonna be freezing!
Got home yesterday and made beef vegetable soup with mash potatoes, comfort food for cold/rain.

Took my 4Runner in for 200K maintenance - another chunk of money to do the belts etc Waiting to hear when it is done...slacking today as it is a day off for me. Menu planning for the next couple weeks-Thanksgiving trip is creeping up very fast!!
