Something About Nothing ... #12

[Monykalyn]

Hello all! Been busy-had our Queen city board retreat this weekend. Got some really great input from board members, and maybe a couple new fundraiser ideas. Took all day Sunday to recover (so tired) the work and our club social last night-bowling. Can barely move today lol. But last day of work today until the the 13th.

Laundry mostly done, some last minute stuff tomorrow, cleaning tomorrow. Packing and then off to StL on Thursday for our flights out.

Buying sushi for 4 boys is not cheap

Ugh can only imagine; buying sushi for one girl and one boy is bad enough!

When you work in a garden center you tend to buy too many plants

I buy too many and I don't work in garden center lol! majority of garden eaten up now, will start over in couple weeks with fall garden. Replant my green beans, and start fall squash, pumpkin etc. And Carrots are being harvested now-should have enough to last through winter again.

million bee stings.

Oh no! Do you have those horrible fire ants where you live? Had to call poison control the first year we lived in Texas as I got so many bites one day.

so I'll be doing the Mac hunting for fast passes that morning

Eh-most things were available for me late this summer.

I couldn't get Flight of Passage again this year...guess I'll have to wait in that endless line again

EMH am was only a 45 minute wait in June...

Hoping I can talk hubs into picking out an HHN night when we hit Uni next week...all you vets-can we pick up HHN night tickets already? We have the passes that come with a free night...

Dinner tonite-leftover spaghetti and meatballs. One kid at band, hubs taking the boy to lake grandmas tomorrow and staying for dinner, so just me at dinner tomorrow means no cooking. Middle spending thurs/friday nights at band friends house, until my summer daughter arrives from Florida on Saturday. Arranged for neighbor to watch dog and chickens for thursday and friday.

Still so much to do, think it is time for wine...

Great weekend, still have leftovers = a win in my book. Podiatrist appointment not as expected, was hoping for a quick & easy cortisone shot but noooo. Going to be rough going for trip in two weeks. Can’t bring mysel to cancel & disppoint DiL & GD. May just be spending a lot of time chilling.

Oh my, such a chatty bunch.

Last night, relaxed and watched some FPS game that older one was playing with his online friends. They are going to blow up the bridge, in a odd English like voice is what I heard every so often. But enough times, I could not get that out of my head, but was annoyed, and annoyed older one too when I had to comment on it.

Mac, hope ya got good fast passes. That is my Thursday chore, but I will be up at 4:30 am for work, so will have my phone ready. Have to buy the ticket first. Will do that on my lunch hour the day or two before. Makes me have to stop at GS to activate, but cheaper than buying from SOG.

Safe travels this week, Patty.

Morning homies! Chicken soup on the menu this morning. Tea ready, so breakfast time for me. DH got me up at 5:30, this morning. Said he was trying to be quiet. Yeah, in the shower at 5:45am.

Happy Birthday to Keisha’s boy! Let them eat cake!

Oh, and I met DH when he was a soldier in law school. Just saying, I know how to shoot a gun and argue. Eh, known him for over 30 years now. I feel old. I have a teen and adult kid, I am old!

Have a super Saturday, and a wonderful weekend.

Need to get my tea, and wake two kids.

Hmm a gun & she got a mouth...i am ascared

Making fast passes was not a fun job for me.
Two hours and twelve minutes it took and I started exactly when it went live today.

I had no issue for 7 dwarfs at MK but looked at the site a few minutes ago and none are left for my day for that park.

I will need to do early entry hours for MK in order to get space mt and btmrr.
They were gone for the time period I needed.
Since I am park hopping, went with the park fp where I would be there the longest.

AK, just went with the two I like there.
Safari and Expedition Everest.
Doing two partial days for that park.

But did get my dining plan places set up in advance and worked my schedule around that.
Food is the priority this trip for the motherland.

Thank goodness for express pass at the darkside is all I have to say......

Belated birthday wishes for your son Keisha.
Mail me some cake.

Tgrgrl, get used to creepy crawly parties, it comes with having boys.
Drink beer and make sure no critters fell in it.


Robbie, hope your recovery from the surgery and accident has been good.
Wondering if you are back or close to 100%

Monyk, Mark Hamil is still alive????

Charade, just jump in and start posting.
Once we pass a page here, half of us are already on a new subject.

And to all the other homies here today, hope you have a laid back lazy day like i usually have....

I forgot to make my FP. Thank God for the email from disney this afternoon. Was surprised i could book despite my APH expiring 2 weeks prior? Plan on renewing it but wanted to hold out jik another deal pops up in Sept as it has in the past for DVC.

Also forgot to make res @ 11 month for annual 4th of July trip. At this point i’m shut out arrrgh. Always CRO or Bonnet Creek. Something will pop up

I did snag the Sea World Doubletree (anybody stay there? North of SW) cheeeeep for an early/bonus late arrival for Xmas time trip. Booked the Xmas in July FP for the shows the next day, really enjoyed them last year.

Day 2 of the great garage cleanup. We had a storage cabinet that we were trying to get rid of. I put it on Facebook marketplace for free. Several people asked for it, but didn’t want to come pick it up. Finally the seventh person who asked about it actually came and got it. You wouldn’t think it would be so hard to give something away.

We also started going through storage boxes and found things we had forgotten about. We found old pictures from Disney and Universal from out first wedding anniversary. Anyone remember when Cinnderella’s castle looked like a pink birthday cake? We also found my wedding veil which I thought I had lost. B has already stated that she wants to wear it when she gets married.

Ugh! I somehow lost all of my quotes and now either my iPad or this site won’t let me redo them.

Robo - I love classic movies, but haven’t seen the two you mentioned. So cool that you know how to fence.

Keisha - Has photobucket dropped their fees to something reasonable? I’ve been using tinypic since it is still free.

Tgrgrl - Ick. No creepy crawly parties for me. I hate bugs of all sorts.

Lynne - My mom still calls my by my sister’s name. (Thankfully she has never called my by my brothers.) She also mixes up her grandchildren and she only has 2 of them.


My how I met dh story is very boring. We met at church. Speaking of dh, tonight is his last show of the community theater production he is in. Next week he and B start work on The Music Man. Right now they know they are in the cast, they just don’t know specific roles yet. Hopefully they will know by Tuesday.

The headers on PB’s numerous emails seem to indicate. I haven’t bothered to open them tho.

The more your daughter drives, the more at ease she will feel

She will turn out to be a great patient driver soon!

As long as mom doesn’t pull out all her hair in the meantime. I really hated that task. Had to teach my mom too lol

So cause I can never be content with what I have, I found a hotel close to Universal on Hotwire for $85/night, which would give me like an extra $200 in spending money. So I decided to go with it instead of Aventura. Does Hotwire even try anymore cause half the rates I look at on there tell you what the hotel is gonna be before you book. This one happened to be the Doubletree across the street, which is fitting since it was where I stayed on my first trip as an adult. Anywho, yay!!

Makes perfect sense to me. Do you like that DT? I’ve seen some great rates there. Walk a bit much for me tho i think at end of night?

Hi everybody

Robbie...great deal at Doubletree...it was our first darkside hotel too for Christmas 2007...what a great trip. We stayed at POFQ for 5 nights with free dining then 3 nights at Universal and our love for the darkside began

Kind of tired tonight after working 5 days in a row so excuse me for not being talkative...hope you all have a great night

Would u stay @ DT again?

Hello all!

I am back from an absence due to my surgery. I couldn't really type or focus or anything much. sitting was hard and typing while lying down??? Not exactly doable.

Here I am post surgery and doing well. Adhering to restrictions is only a little hard. Most things I can't do anyway. I walk without my walker around the house now. I still have little appetite but I can keep things down just fine. My medications make me a little "out of it' and I think I am hilarious. I probably sound like second grader and spell like a fourth grader (before I spell check everything.)...I will read here and try to make sense of everything through my medicated haze.

Welcome home. You sound challenged but with your positive attitude should do very well

Oh yea we had typing class as a filler

Hahahahah, I remember the quick brown fox....


Our high school was over crowded and only had two years of gym class.
We had a weird schedule and freshman year we started school at 9:30 and over at 3:45.
Junior year classes started at 7:30

I was so glad to be out of high school......
college was much better.

Did he jump over the lazy brown dog?

 

[tink1957]

Would u stay @ DT again?

Yes, in a heartbeat if the price was right. It's not a bad walk. The worst thing is crossing the busy road but after you do it a few times it's a piece of cake. Just follow the walkway and cut across to valet parking.

I actually prefer the Holiday Inn since I can usually get an upgrade to a suite with their loyalty program.

But you get cookies at DT so I may have to rethink that.

How do you find the time to get all that done?

I’m worn out just thinking of everything you have done...


Fire ants
We had 20 mounds of them at first but now only have one mound of them
The treatment we put on the mounds works fabulous
Of course they relocate over night but we check each day and treat their new home quickly


Have a safe and fun trip!
Hope you can return again in the fall for hhn

Packing and then off to StL on Thursday for our flights out.

You're heading to Orlando to pick up DD? How long are you there? I'm driving up from Ft. Lauderdale to spend Monday & Tuesday in Orlando with Troy.

Still so much to do, think it is time for wine...

May just be spending a lot of time chilling.

That's fine! They'll be happy with you on the trip and you'll have a great time even if you can't do some things!

Quiet evening! Think I'll join Monyk with a glass of wine!

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. Another rainy day, I think it is going to rain all week.

Did a little shopping after work. I had a rewards certificate from my favorite store that expired today. I was happy to see they they have started stocking jeans in short sizes again. Last time I was there they had no short sizes ans they were not available online either. I ended up spending more than I had intended to today.

Our high school was over crowded and only had two years of gym class.

ONLY 2 years? That’s 2 years too many for me. I hated gym class. I can’t remember how much we had to have in high school, but pretty sure it wasn’t that much. B had to have 2 years of gym, but they also included health and driver’s ed.

No laughing here! I didn't even take typing in high school! (wish I did!) I did have beautiful nails even though I wasn't one of the popular girls! Now my fingernails are stubs!

I took a business class in middle school that included typing, but nothing in high school. My fingernails are a lost cause. They are very weak and tear easily. I just keep them short.

Yep, another Tuesday has arrived, and closes out the month of July. For that, eat a taco, or two.

We actually had tacos tonight. It’s rare that ever happens.

And I always have an umbrella in my car but do you think I ever actually use it??

When I traded my old car I found 3 broken umbrellas when I cleaned it out. I currently do not own an umbrella.

I love Tuesdays. Theres usually very little mail that comes in. Which is nice cause mondays always have a lot of mail. We got in over 400 claims yesterday

Do you work for an insurance company? Hopefully not one of the ones I often rant about.

Dobby has been hanging around for awhile and I suspect he has been abandoned by his owners as he was big and healthy when he first came to visit but now he has lost weight. I hope to remedy that since Fluffy is letting him eat now.

Sasha is back in her fence with another heavy concrete block in her latest escape route.

Dobby is a great name. I got my first cat when he was abandoned by his owners. Glad to hear Sasha is back.

I think I am caught up. Hello to anyone I may have missed.

Janet, no grass grows under your feet
You are another busy homie!!

Rent a wheelchair when you go in 2 weeks
Have dil push you and if you need to move around some walk and push the chair yourself for a bit of the time

Feet issues only get better if you rest when possible

So you have 3 trips planned yet this year?
Good girl!

When I grow up, I want to vacation like you do

 

[macraven]

Charade I love making tacos at home but Mr Mac prefers Taco Bell

We hit that place often

Last year when I had the tke surgery, he took care of the food for 5 weeks

Taco Bell was what he gave me 5 times for a week

 

[macraven]
