Something About Nothing ... #12

[Lynne G]

Yeah, I am not sure that would ever get old, Kohlby. LOL

My little one gets a sour look, when I say when you and older one are out of the house, and GM is gone, we may head South. It remains on my radar, anyway. LOL

Tink, yep, make lemonade out of lemon, not having more work days. Hope you can enjoy a vacation over 4th of July, but not in a tent, and goi for it, a solo trip.

 

[schumigirl]

Good morning

Robo...so glad to hear from you and hope you're feeling better soon

Agavegirl...your new trip plans sound awesome! It helps to have something to look forward to when you're healing and 2019 will be here before you know it.

Patty for your 10 day countdown! I might be there at the same time if we can get a good deal either that week or the week of the 4th...just have to talk my DD into it.

Carole...how many sleeps do you have left? I love cheese...goes good with wine but neither one is on my pretrip diet unfortunately.

Janet...the last time we went camping it rained all night and our tent leaked so we were all wet and miserable...DD vowed never to go camping again so imagine my surprise when she suggested we go camping with friends for the 4th of July I'm too old to sleep on the ground, I have enough trouble just getting out of bed in the morning.

Kohlby, adulting is overrated...I say go to the parks.

Yikes on the river in the road Lynne...we are surrounded by water around here and have been cut off from traveling a few times in the past...not fun at all.

The corporate powers that be decided to reduce our hours during the busiest time of the year for the next few weeks so I have to work only 3 days out of 11...guess I'll get lots of time to do all the chores I've been avoiding or I could take a little solo trip.

Happy Tuesday everyone Time to get going.

Go for the trip Vicki!!!! Absolutely...…..you`re so close!!!! Might as well take advantage of the time off you have...….chores will still be there when you get home...…..

WE have 30 sleeps till overnight at airport...….and 92 sleeps till September...…..not that I`m counting...…..

Camping. No. I told DH when we first met when a friend mentioned camping that the only stars I sleep under are 5 stars he believed me as well...….that is not my idea of fun. Even Kyle never wanted to go camping as a kid......thank goodness!!!

Now I want a cheeseboard with some wine...…….

It`s 5 o Clock somewhere...…….

Hi everyone. Lunch break again. Nothing interesting to report.

Well, you are cute as a button and you would never be served a drink unless you had two id’s to show

I can’t say 16 as you have already told us your kids are not in diapers

You look sweet and cute!

Aww...thanks macraven. I’m actually 17 in that picture. I think I look more like I’m 12.

Charade, you are "teeny" and remind me of my best friend in High school all of 4"10" and weighing about 80 something lbs.

I wish I was still that small. The height is still the same (5’2”), but the width is a lot greater now.

The corporate powers that be decided to reduce our hours during the busiest time of the year for the next few weeks so I have to work only 3 days out of 11...guess I'll get lots of time to do all the chores I've been avoiding or I could take a little solo trip.

I vote solo trip. I would love to do a solo trip sometime.

Camping- not for me. I am not the outdoorsy type at all. I’ll take a budget hotel over camping any day, although I think I have been spoiled by the Royal Pacific.

I had too much time on my hands so I just renewed my AP I did it online as opposed to by phone and it was so much easier...didn't have to fight for the FL resident rate like I usually do so I think it's the way to go. I was debating whether to downgrade back to the 2 park but decided it was too much trouble for $80 and I might have to call. Now I'm good until October 2019

 

[Lynne G]

That's great Tink! Never have renewed online, always called. Since I will be at the Dark Side when my pass expires, can I just do it at a ticket window? Hope so, otherwise, will do right before we leave.

Charade, that's funny, when I was getting married, I was 27. Went to a store to get a long line bra for under my dress. The lady helping me asked if I was graduating from high school. I had been carded quite a few times when I was in my 20's. Guess I don't look young anymore, as haven't been carded for some time now. And, yep, quite a bit more pooh than I was in my 20's. 5 ft 2 also.

Lunch is over, inside is almost too cool again, so time for a walk. Did a walk before lunch, now have to do one after lunch.

Enjoy your Tuesday, homies.

 

[tink1957]

Hey Charade and Lynne...I'm 5'2" also...short people unite!!!

I also have put on a few pounds and have been carded up until I hit 40 which coincided with my weight gain

 

[Charade67]

I’m sitting through a very boring online insurance tutorial.

 

[macraven]

The only time I get carded is when I ask for the senior discounts..

Some places in my area they do discounts at 55, 60, 62

My method would be to wiggle out of sleeping bag, roll over like a dog onto my hands & knees & go for it. Once i grabbed the tent pole. Let’s just say not a good idea.needed a new tent anyway.

One hour sitting through a very boring tutorial and I didn’t learn anything that I didn’t already know. And I left work with a splitting headache.

On the plus side, I have been reminded of how fortunate I am. We have a client who has been having trouble with her 16 year old daughter. Now I only know the mom’s side of this, but it sounds like the girl is an entitled little brat. She expects mom to do everything for her, buy only expensive clothes, eat out every night, etc. The girl has run away and moved in with her 23 year old sister. The dad (parents are divorced) seems to think this is okay and the 23 year old is perfectly capable of raising her younger sister. The mom is angry at everyone right now. I am fortunate that B is mostly a good kid. I get the occasional teenage attitude, but nothing like this.

Good to see several of us in the 5’2” club. We are not short. We are fun sized or space saving.

 

[Monykalyn]

Well I knew it. Dh upgraded to premier uni passes. When are peeps going to HHN?

 

[Lynne G]

MonyK, Check RApstars thread. For me, will be at the Dark Side 4 to 12 October.

 

[agavegirl1]

5' 1" and shrinking here. Vertically challenged people UNITE!

 

[macraven]

Many of us are not on RAPstars list.
I know I am not.

I'll be there Sept 30 - Oct 12

 

[tink1957]

I'm going Sept 18 - 25 and moving to Pop on the 25th for 1 night.

 

[keishashadow]

5' 1" and shrinking here. Vertically challenged people UNITE!

I used to be 5’5. Everyone said I was shrinking. I would protest. Had DEXA scan last year and tech lol’d th n measured me and said she’d be nice & give me’ 5 feet on my chart. Yet another of life’s special moments slapping me upside my head!

 

[pattyw]

Well I knew it. Dh upgraded to premier uni passes. When are peeps going to HHN?

We'll be there 9/28-10/6.

I'm 5'8''- still, I hope!. I haven't been measured lately, so maybe I'm shrinking, too! I always wanted to be short so that I could wear high heels and look fashionable! I felt like an old lady because I wore flats as a teenager. I didn't want to be taller than the boys!

But, when my sons started growing, I started wearing heels so that I wasn't shorter than them!! One of my bosses is shorter than me and I still find myself slouching around him!

 

[Monykalyn]

5’7” here- with a 6’2” husband and daughter, other dtr 5’6” (and still growing) and 5’4” son who hasn’t hit growth spurt yet. I’ll be the shorty.


Will check kids band schedules when we get back. May be able to sneak away for long weekend end of September, or else will be end of October (maybe- have a cruise in October too).

 

[Charade67]

I am really bummed. We just found out that the contractor we were going to hire for our deck repair is not licensed. That’s not a risk I am willing to take. We should have known that his low quote was too good to be true. Back to the drawing board.

 

[Robo56]

Evening Sans family



I will be at HHN if no changes occur Sept 30 to October 12.



Tink go for the short vacation and celebrate.
