Something About Nothing.......#4

Completely irrelevant rant here:

If your 16 year old son called you at work and asked you how to clean his new tennis shoes because they got muddy and you told him to spray them down with Shout, then soak them in the sink with some laundry detergent, would you expect said 16 year old to figure out that perhaps he should remove the dishes from the sink FIRST?

Um, duh! Anyways, Matt's on his way down to 6 Flags for the day with his Physics class. You know, those weird kids you see walking around the parks measuring things and making calculations, etc.! Stop by and say hi Mac! (Yeah, I know, he'd be thrilled!).

Everyone have a great Friday!

will his gf be with him there?
i know i would recognize him if they were together.

they are a cute couple



maybe i will drop over there today

Hi all! I hope everyone's having a good Friday, & has a great weekend.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes & cakes. My birthday is the same day as Lori's. I think I was even more disappointed for Mother's Day. I thought for sure my DH would make up for the birthday fiasco. After all, I gave him a big, surprise party on his 40th. If he doesn't start doing better, he won't be getting anything on his 50th. He may not even get his "not really a gift" present he thinks he's supposed to get every birthday. Sorry, you didn't get anything either Lori. Sorry, some of my homies joined me in getting nothing for Mother's Day too. Everybody but Fletch that is. Congrats on your bling Janet.

Tracie, bummer about your vacation. I hope the kids are okay with it & you can reschedule soon.

Poor Mikey. He's had a rough time. Surgery is no fun, but will be worth it, if he heals completely. Lori, I don't blame you for putting the trip off, until he'll be all healed & pain free.

Barb, I'm still planning full speed ahead. Whether or not the layoff will affect our vacation plan, depends on how long my DH is out of work. Sadly, if he doesn't find an acceptable job here, we may have to move. I'll be crushed, if he ends up having to take a job out of state.

Back from a productive day of garage saling! Lots of cool stuff. Unfortunately while I was gone the house fairy didn't come, so now with all the stuff I bought as well, the house is a disaster! But it was such a beautiful day (70 and sunny) that I just couldn't spent it inside. Met DH for lunch at Red Robin and ate outside there as well!

will his gf be with him there?
i know i would recognize him if they were together.

they are a cute couple

maybe i will drop over there today

Nope, girlfriend isn't in physics so he has to hang out with the guys for a change!

It's Friday get down, get down

One big thing I miss from our old house is having a laundry tub. Here we're kind of stuck using the kitchen sink for those things. Unfortunately these were his brand new $80 white Puma's and I was afraid the washer would mangle them.

On the flip side, you have Stephen, who after I yelled at Matt for putting his shoes in the sink with the dishes and moving them, then proceeds to put HIS shoes in the sink to wash - late last night. Then this morning (while they're still soaking merrily away) 3 minutes before the bus comes suddenly says "I need another pair of tennis shoes for gym today!" Believe it or not I was able to find some in bins in the basement in that amount of time.

I've used the dryer for stretching/fitting Crocs but never tried washing them. Honestly, I wear my Crocs out (the soles on the bottom) before I ever need to wash them!

Yeah, I don't get much for my birthday around here either. I got a card on Mother's Day (woo hoo!). I remember one birthday when the only thing I got was a package of sunflower seeds and a pack of licorice from a friend. No one in the family got me anything. Basically if I want anything, I better make very definite hints or go the way I usually do Christmas and buy and wrap it myself!

If you do have to move out of state, maybe you could go to NC! Make it cheaper for your kids if they wanted to go to college there!

It's funny you mentioned moving to NC. My DH sent out feelers. Of the replies he received, Iraq is at the bottom of the list, followed by Antartica, then NC. We would go back, if it was absolutely necessary, but it wouldn't be by choice. Then again, I wouldn't leave FL by choice. Unfortunately, I may not have a choice.

ETA: Sorry, you didn't get anything for MD either. I think next year we should do a "secret kid" exchange. At least, we'd all get something that way.

Hear that Todd?? Date w/ the dragons

Yup...I can't wait to see his face...hehe.

Thanks for asking Barb it has stopped hurting and lump is almost gone so must have pulled something and btw Todd I am another that used Hand R Block and have to wait on a paper check

I wonder what made us so special? Some people at work used H & R Block and already got theirs.

there's a big black cloud hovering over your head...it's due to blow over soon

some guys just don't get it...as long as he's a keeper the other 363 days of the year, i'd let it go...and buy ur own present next year my guy was the same way until i started to purchase my own...found it more economical to pick up a 'lil something on his own

 

[macraven]

i'll be a charter member of the new club.
mothers day is just another day, club.



we don't do my birthday either.
mr mac says, if i want something, go buy it. don't wait for mothers day or birthday to get it.



so in the long run, it is really okay with me. i don't have any complaints about it as we never started md as a holiday at home.
