Now here are the pics I took on the way home from Albuquerque. This is on the side of the highway in the middle of nowhere. It is supposed to be the biggest cross in the US. Someone then made all of these sculptures depicting the Crucifixion & Resurrection and put them in around the cross.

Congrats to Damo on the Golden Homie!!!

morning all!!!

i am a bad easter bunny - still have to shop.....ds told me he wants the eb to bring him the nerf basket he saw in the toy r us ad hopefully i can find something for him.

the girls are a bit harder (of course)

boiling our eggs here shortly

contractor/friend is here putting this on for my front doors

not too sure if that will happen today, but the interior doors were on sale at Home Depot for 19.00 each and I bought em so we could install em when he can.

Sounds like you've got a busy day too. Shopping... eggs... installation... OH MY! I like the doors. New stuff for the house is always fun!

I like those doors and for $19.00 you can't go wrong. I've been thinking about putting a storm door on the front but I haven't found one that I like. My neighbor has a white one that has this hideous palm tree and crane (bird...not the machine) on it. That's not for me.

Some people go a bit overboard with the whole Florida theme. You live in Florida. It's warm and there is sand and palm trees. We get it. You don't have to plaster it all over your house.

Unless you want to. Some people like the Florida decor. I personally find it cheesy, but they sell a ton of it, so I must be in the minority.

Morning Tricia...everything back to normal after the storms last weekend?

We've got a beautiful day here! Sunny and heading into the 70s.

I haven't seen the news in... days. I don't know how Atlanta is doing with the cleanup. I did hear briefly on... Wednesday, I think... that the winds that were coming through with the storm that day were causing windows in some of the damaged high rises to blow out. Peachtree Plaza, which is that really tall cylinder building, had several windows damaged by the tornado and they hadn't boarded them all up yet. When this new storm went through, the winds were getting into the building via the missing windows and then couldn't vent back out, so BOOM... the wind would blow out a window on the opposite side. They had to close down that block of Midtown and that Marta station. Wild stuff.

Morning Homies and wings

Morning Lawrence!

morning, getting ready to pop the ham in the oven...then i'll give it the bird-turkey that is . Always cook it a day early so it cuts down nicely for the buffet next day.

still haven't read thru the thread, hoping for later today spidey senses tingling in anticipation.

I'll be doing the ham and turkey tomorrow, but I bought a spiral sliced ham (already cooked) and the turkey is only 12 lbs.

I've never done a spiral sliced before. Always bought a cooked a picnic or shank ham before. We'll see how it goes.

Oh yeah. It is getting bad again. And he still has not signed divorce papers. He has not paid his last 3 child support payments and Mirandas lawyer is not doing her job. I am fit to be tied.

Okay, that is just wrong, wrong, WRONG! How can the lawyer not force the issue on signing the papers? And behind in child support? Hellloooo???

I hope that Karma gives him a great big bite in the butt. He deserves it.

Those were GREAT pics Lori!

Ally is looking like such a young lady and your other kids looked like they were having a fun time.

That collection of sculptures is amazing! It must have been very moving to have been able to walk around and see that. If we ever make it out west, that will go on my list of things to do.

 

[damo]

I'd really, really,really like to thank the academy.

 

[RVGal]

Well, gang... Carol is having a good day and she and Deb just came to pick up the boys and take them to (yet another) Easter egg hunt. I have 2 hours to myself, so I am going to go put together the baskets and make an apple pie.

I'm ALL ALONE in my house! I have it all to myself!

Hello all

Good Morning . I have been VERY BUSY . I have to get ready for the BUNNY visit. WE had all 3 kids home yesterday and well we had to get swim wear for my two teenage girls . Has anyone seen what they call swim wear for teenagers ?? there is not alot of fabric to them to say the least.

Well we did finally book a trip this summer . WE went from bush gardens in Va and Six Flags in New England to a trip to Cedar Point in ohio but we will be going to WDW instead. With a 6 year old son we really wanted to see him enjoy his trip. At the other parks there is a lot for us to do but not too much for him. We can always go to the other parks as he gets older but he is only 6 once and well at 13 and 16 the girls want to go back too .
We booked the ASMU Family suite again and are thrilled to have gotten one . So I made a Mickey path too .

Hope to get to read the past 20 pages I missed but i can't see it happening until Monday and by then it may be over 40 pages . I am going in for my on monday so I should have lots of time to read the boards after that mess. I am a little nervous and not happy about the whole thing but it needs to be done.

Gotta go get Eggs for coloring . See everyone soon

Forgot the congratulate you earlier. So congratulations!!!!!!

Oh isn't alone time wonderful! Glad Carol is feeling good. I hope they have lots of fun.

As for Dustin...lets just say that he will get what he has coming to him one of these days. There are a lot of people that want to get their hands on him. Not just family, but all of the other guys that they went to high school with. It will happen.

The pics of the big kids are the Hannah Montana wigs that the three younger girls got for Christmas at dads. There is also supposedly a pic of me & my sister in them but I just can't seem to find one!

The felling looking at those sculptures just can't be described. There are benches out in front of the fountain and it was just so peaceful. It is literally right beside I-40 just across the Texas/Oklahoma border. An amazing place.

Glad you got your trip all squared away and were still able to get the family suite.

There isn't a lot of fabric to little girls swim suits a lot of the time. I am not looking forward to it getting worse. What are they thinking?


Well everyone else is just about ready. I am going to run for good now. See you all later.

You booked a new vacation! I am right there with you on the reason for our next trip. Our kids will only be this little once. Maybe they will be the kind of kids that will always enjoy Disney, but there is no way to tell. I'm still hoping we can use some of our tax rebate and get the week long tickets for Universal too. I just know that if we don't, I'm going to hear "but why can't we ride Cat in the Hat or Jimmy Neutron?" this time. Joshua thinks all the rides are in "Orlando"... he doesn't understand the difference between the parks (or that you have to pay separate admission fees).

I'm sure the teeth will go fine. You will be uncomfortable for awhile after, but it will all be worth it.

If any of those guys that want to get their hands on Dustin can be bribed, I'll offer up a homemade apple pie (in an hour or so).

Joshua asked me again this evening when Easter is. I told him the day after tomorrow. He said, "So tomorrow is Easter Eve?"

Hey, that's pretty witty on his part. Most kids his age probably wouldn't make the connection between the day before & Eve.

Aw. Easter Eve. I miss those good old days. My daughter and BF painted her bedroom today. That was all the painting we had going on.

So do I.

He's going to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical College in Daytona. They also have a campus in Prescott Arizona. Their most popular major is commerical pilot, but James is going for computer engineering with a minor in flight. He wants to get his private pilot license!

That's great! Has he considered trying to work for NASA? It would be an option to consider.

I said when I have some free time.

Oh, did I appear to be impatient?

HEY! That was my Sooners they were playing!

I had to pull for the fav. teams of my peeps who picked the Heels to win it all. It's a pay it forward kind of thing, ya know.

Barb asked about Mikey's MRI. Sorry I forgot to update you guys. We are not doing an MRI yet. This doctor (actually his pa) is much more thourough and I felt very comfortable with what he was saying. They want to try simpler things first. We are going to do therapy 3 times a week for 4 weeks. He also gave him some exercises to do on his own and then showed me the diference in the tightness in his arms. He has to lay down on his side out straight, he then is supposed to put his right arm out to the side and with his left hand push it as far towards the table as he can and hold it for 10 seconds. He has to do 3 sets of 10 a day. When he is doing this with his right arm he can not even get it to a 45 degree angle. When he turns over and does it with his left arm he can go all the way to the table and flatten it out. I guess there is a little tightness there!

I hope the therapy works.

I need to be careful because we DID have an 'incident' with his first grade teacher and SHE DID hold it against Bubba the rest of the year.... beyotch..... Don't worry...I haven't replied to her email yet, but I intend to be very careful with my words

That is just wrong.

damo, I think you deserve:

....CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

(line of the day! )

Congrats, damo!

What are your plans with that land?? Are you going to put a house on it and 'retire' there?? (I hope not...cuz if you don't stay in FL, a flogging is in order for you )

We hope to build on it & do the snowbird thing. Splitting time between NC & FL. Those no way I'd leave FL for good, unless I was forced.

Okay..now, I hate Duke too (unless of course, my Bubba ends up going there )That was a rotten deal your bro got! How do I check how bad I'm doing?? I barely remembered how to GET to our page to put my pix in

Welcome to the club.

I don't think I know how old yer Kenny is?

He's 16, but Santa & the Easter Bunny still pay him a visit. He knows that as long as he tells me that he believes in them they'll continue to bring him something. If you tell your mom you don't believe, Santa & the Easter Bunny are definitely going to hear you, ya know. They'll probably be paying him a visit, when he's 40.

I wouldn't mind either....most stayed is 5 nites .... someday

Us too, & I'd love to stay longer.

Another 13" of snow yesterday....we are close to 120" for the year. Our average is 45.

That doesn't sound good. to our home in a box.

i am a bad easter bunny - still have to shop.....ds told me he wants the eb to bring him the nerf basket he saw in the toy r us ad hopefully i can find something for him.

the girls are a bit harder (of course)

boiling our eggs here shortly

contractor/friend is here putting this on for my front doors

and this on the side door

he is also going to put these on all the bedroom doors (4), bathroom doors (2), ds's closet (1) and basement (1) -

not too sure if that will happen today, but the interior doors were on sale at Home Depot for 19.00 each and I bought em so we could install em when he can.

Nice doors! Good luck to the bunny in you. Hope you get everything done.

 

[Metro West]

Well....so much for Duke!

morning, getting ready to pop the ham in the oven...then i'll give it the bird-turkey that is . Always cook it a day early so it cuts down nicely for the buffet next day.

Great idea! How do you serve the ham. Do you reheat it or serve it cold? I always cook everything the day of..... Then I'm too worn out to enjoy the meal.

Oh and the jerk coach told him yesterday he sure wished he could play or at least hit! He feel bad now that he knows something is really wrong.

I hope he learns from this. He should feel bad.

Oh yeah. It is getting bad again. And he still has not signed divorce papers. He has not paid his last 3 child support payments and Mirandas lawyer is not doing her job. I am fit to be tied.

I don't know the story behind the ex, but I'm sorry you guys are having to go through this. It sounds like Miranda needs a new lawyer.

The pics of your DD a great. She definitely looks older in the 2nd pic. The pic of your older two & your niece is hilarious.

Those sculptures are amazing. I'd love to see that in person.

Well, gang... Carol is having a good day and she and Deb just came to pick up the boys and take them to (yet another) Easter egg hunt. I have 2 hours to myself, so I am going to go put together the baskets and make an apple pie.

Great news! I hope they had a fun day. She's deserves one.

Well....so much for Duke!

That's just more proof that the West bracket is too easy, & Dook should never have been a 2 seed to begin with.

I am glad to see Dook lose though.
