Something About Nothing #3..........

[RAPstar]

Well...mine is already spent so vicious circle continues.

I know how you feel. Luckily though, I was able to put down what I was hoping to to get my US/IOA vacation paid off with enough time to save up food/suvie money.

Check out this link if you want a good laugh. The folks over on the Disney side are all bent out of shape...I think it's funny.

Hey Katie! Did you get all smarter-er? Wasn't this a teacher conference day for you or something?

Not really...I was actually disappointed with the presenters this year. A little too elementary for my taste.

But a day off of school is still great!

Hey all .. I am so tired so this is going to be short. Ran around all day getting stuff . Got DD her shirts for USF/IOA . We all got one on the front it reads

Christine's Sweet 16 and on the back it reads
Hard Rock Hotel Orlando May 3, 2008 .

They are really cute . Pink with black letters. Fun to be had by all I am sure. Called Mythos today and they told me there were no Reservations that she would take my name then she asked if I was a hotel guest and told me that we would be on the perfered line for resturants so that if the wait was an hour we would wait only 30 min. I thought you could make a reservation there ?? Is this something new? We have never eaten there so I really don't know.

Also went to a birthday party with my DS that has given me a GIANT HEADACHE so I am off to sleep soon. I have HW to finish in the morning for because DD waits till the last min and now we have to paint this thing we built . this after reglious instructions or CCD in the morning at 8:30 AM .

Hope everyone is well and I will visit the homies in the box in the morning

Night Night for me guys .

So we have figured out our next family vacation. Both kids are done school end of April so...May 1 we are driving down to Williamsburg for two days. Staying at the new Holiday Inn Gateway in a two bedroom suite (around $200/night). Busch Gardens Europe has a deal on for $67 you get 7 consecutive days. We haven't ridden it since Griffon or Darkcastle have arrived so we are looking forward to it. We expect that there shouldn't be a ton of people there on a Friday in early May, so hopefully it will be good. We'll spend half SAturday there as well.

Then, we'll drive to Myrtle Beach and stay at the Dunes Village in a two bedroom. They have a stay two nights get one free and they have a water park. We've never been to Myrtle Beach. We'll spend Sunday at Hard Rock Park. It will be in soft opening but is open from 10-10, so that should work. Then we'll spend a day enjoying Myrtle Beach and then drive down to our house for 5 or 6 days and then back home.

Can't wait to get the kids down to see the house!

That sounds like a great trip. We love Myrtle Beach. I wouldn't want to get in the ocean that time of year, but there's so much to do there, you could stay busy for weeks w/o ever going to the beach. I'm anxious to hear what you guys think about Hard Rock Park. We've been talking going. I'm just waiting for the onsite Hard Rock Hotel with magic keys.

Hi all-
Anyways, I also wanted to get an opinion on a hotel. Has anyone stayed at the Royal Plaza Resort in Downtown Disney? Is it a good hotel?
I got one of those Mousesavers emails lately on they have some kind of special rate going on. I wanted to get an opinion first from you homies, if anyone has stayed there or is familiar with the resort. Thanks.
I know I should check out the resort board, but I haven't had a chance to go over there yet.

Sorry, Chrissy doesn't feel up to enjoying their Spring Break. That stinks!

Here's a link to TripAdvisor reviews for Royal Plaza Resort http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Re...eviews-Royal_Plaza_Hotel-Orlando_Florida.html You may want to read those, before booking.

Wrestlemania and they're expecting 70K fans this Sunday night!

That's a whole bunch of people.

I will be there!

And I should reserve a parking space. $35 to reserve parking! I suppose it's better than trying to just show-up and be like "ZOMG, where do I park, on someone's lawn? For $20?"

Good luck with that!

royal plaza resort i know.
they have a michael jackson and a mandrell suite there.
when jackson and mandrell were in their prime, that was their ususal home when in orlando.

it does not necessarily have the disney ambiance but it is good for bus service.
you have to check and see if that hotel qualifies for the EE and the EMH for disney. i believe there is one or two that do not qualify.
the goversnor has improved and is in that area also

I didn't know about the Michael Jackson/ Mandrell connection to HRP. That's pretty neat. The Hilton is the DTD hotel that offers onsite perks.

The 2 basketball games so far tonight are killing my brackets. I'm happy to see Davidson win anyway, but I didn't want to be wrong about the other one. Is anyone else watching the games?

I like the job, but i dont think one of the front office folks cares for me. I can read alot about folks, and I think she could be ignoring me. But then i realize i am the newbie and no one trusts the newbie........they dont know me yet.
i really dont know them. I do enjoy the work.

I'm glad you like the job. I'm sure miss "not so nice" will learn to love you like we do.

Tammy - Most of our vacations are within driving distance of home. We try to venture out in a different direction each time. Of course, we keep going back to Orlando... but that's a given.

In the past few years, we've been to the Caribbean, Alaska, Mexico, San Francisco, San Diego, San Antonio, Vancouver & several other places. Some was on cruises, & some we had an extended stays. I think we're ready for a trip closer to home.

i should have phrased it like you.
us redheads need to stick together.

How many colors is your hair? I'm imagine a rainbow effect. Oh yeah, find out what we need to do to buy your soul back.

Wendy, I just noticed your ticker. (Where have I been?) Anyway, where's your "mega family vacation" to? I still can't believe I missed that tidbit of info. My ears are usually perked up high, when someone says, "vacation".

OPENING NIGHT SUNDAY 805 EASTERN ON ESPN
ATLANTA BRAVES
VS.
WASHINGTON NATIONALS


my sincerest best wishes to all the teams-starting sunday it is every fan for him or her self!

I've been meaning to ask..... Did you hear about the Devil Rays/ Yankees brawl a couple weeks ago. I'm not surprised. There's definitely a history between them.

Here at work, last 3rd shift nite for at least 2 months. YEA!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, for you. We'll be expecting to see you around here more now that you'll be off the graveyard shift.

When we were done I told her what I had to do before they got here. She said she could tell I wasn't happy on the phone. It is just so annoying that she always expects us to drop everything for her. DH got to listen to a couple of venting phone calls.

I try to not stay mad at her all the time but it is hard. She pushes dad so hard and he just takes it. He has emphysema and IBS when he eats breakfast to early. I figured they would eat about 10, like he always does to keep from getting sick, then head this way, about an hour drive, so I would have until a little after 11 to get things done. They were here before 10. When I said something about not expecting them so early since dad doesn't eat until about 10 she said "Not now that I am in charge". Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to not choke the woman!!!!!! I just have to keep reminding myself that he is a grown man and it is his decision to put up with all her crap.


Sorry to vent on you guys. I know you weren't wanting to here that.

Is this your mom or stepmom? Sorry, for being nosy. It sounds like you guys need a heart to heart, which could be a bit more explosive with a stepmom. You're right, your dad is allowing her to dictate his life, but if she's hurting his health, you may have to speak up. I feel for you. This has to be hard on you. You can vent to me any time you need to.

Evening folks!

Evening Katie.

There is probably some eskimo woman saying, "What, what, WHAT?" right now.

Unfortunately it is my real mother. And in her eyes she does no wrong. It wouldn't matter how many heart to hearts I had with her. Thanks for listening.
