Something About Nothing..........#5

[marciemi]

Hey Tracie, we attacked Mt. Laundry last night. It was taking over the living room! I always do a good job of collecting the laundry each day, getting it into the washer and dryer, and then getting it to the living room floor. I'm usually about 50/50 on even getting it folded, but then it tends to just hang out in the middle of the floor for days! Put everyone to work last night and threatened them that if it didn't get put away (yes, AWAY, not just stuffed into their closets or on their bedroom floors!) that they'd lose their phones for a week!

Hi Homies-
Happy Veteran's Day to all!

Does anyone know if we get mail pick-up and delivery today?
I'm guessing we don't. It gets confusing when my kids have school on Veteran's Day.

They have school on Veteran's Day? Around here it's a day off. A big thank-you to all the veterans and soldiers out there.

Hi Sharon
Yes, my kids have school on this holiday. They were off last Tues for election day. I think my school dist. uses some of the schools as polling places.

Afternoon all ...

Happy Veterans Day to our US homies and Happy Remembrance Day to our Canadian homies!! Thanks to the men and women who sacrifice their lives for our freedoms!!

... got an email from Mac - she said to tell you all she'll be MIA for a few days and we're all to behave until she returns on Friday.

Hey Katie...I'm with you...I don't hunt...never have...never will.

Todd
I don't hunt either, don't have a problem with it, and eat venison whenever the hunters at work bring it in after hunting season, it's awesome as smoked bologna! I am just too much of a wussy when it comes to animals to shoot one!

Nope, no mail today, as you have probably figured out by now. I even had off today from the Post Office, (I always sign up for holidays to get the extra vacation time for my trips to USF) as they aren't bringing in as many maintenance people to cover the plant on holidays

Thats a hard question for me to answer..My DD was born on christmas.So the country boy in me is too leave the lights up all year long--

I know you might be a redneck if:

But we do her B-Day with mine thats exactly 1 month from Chistmas!!As long as there is ice cream cake,I'm happy

We were too lazy to take our Christmas lights down, so left them up all year ... this way we don't have to put them up in freezing temps with frozen fingers, swearing cuz they don't want to go up properly

We haven't put out our wreaths or other Christmas things outside yet ... probably won't do that until Dec 1. Most of the neighbors don't light their outside lights until about then anyway. Our Christmas tree will probably go up the first weekend in December

Hey Mike seen you at Finnegans twice during HHN.You had so many peeps around I never had a chance too say hellow..

You should have come over and said "Hi" as I'm sure you saw, I'm very sociable

Next year I will be getting a CSW shirt,then maybe I'll have a chance to say Hi

Go on over and join up, it's a Yahoo board, I found out about it through Mac! I connected with so many awesome people through that board, and just from wearing that shirt, and striking up conversations with people because of it. I even have an awesome black CSW Polo shirt that one of your locals did this year. it's awesome wearing them in the houses, always getting shoutouts about wolves and such. I know for sure I'll be there next October for 2 full weeks again. I'm starting to save my pennies already!

Wow, that is unreal, I wish I could consider it now, but it's just not possible Hopefully, in a few years when it would be feasible for me from a business standpoint, that will still be the case. My dreamjob is to be a soundtech at the parks! I have run sound for hundreds of bands, so experience isn't an issue, it's contacts...... But, I never say never. I had a great conversation with one of the Blue Man group soundtechs, he let me hang with him in the sound booth for the show while he mixed it. (My son and his buddy were with Sherry, so I didn't abandon her to sit alone, but she understands what happens when I start talking shop with another soundguy ) The digital board they have in that theater, probably cost more than my house!!!

Hey all haven't been around too much . We are so busy here and I never get the computer anymore . I am too lazy to walk down the stairs to get on the main one I only want to use the lap top.

I have missed like at least 15 pages . I may ketchup one day ...

haven't been called to work yet . I need the money but only if it is a good school .

Did some shopping . Toys r us had a good deal this week on the nintendo DS . I got a DS , a case and a game for $154 . Not bad since the system is usually $130 . Now I need to find my DD some UGGS . They are sold out everywhere I go and they are hard to find in the color she wants in her size. All I need is one more big gift for the older DD and most of my shopping is DONE . . Now I have to get smaller stuff .

Been really busy here and I hope everyone is OK . Wanted to tell the homies I was still alive . If I could move to orlando I would go at once . I would go anywhere but here in NYC. It is a mess here . I want to wear shorts in the winter . .


Got to run kiddies are getting ready for bed and mommy has crafts to do for the PTA . Yes I do that too .

We had a Veteran's Day recognition program at my kids' school this afternoon.
Went pretty well. I don't remember my kids' school having this before, so this is a first. There were about roughly 25 veterans and active military, of family of the kids and teachers that were there and recognized. Any veterans that couldn't make it, there was a blurb and a pic of each veteran and active military on the wall by the gym. My uncle Shawn was up there on the wall.

Here are a couple of pics of him.

This is a pic of him at my grandma's funeral lunch reception in Sept.

Here is an official military pic of him. I took a pic of the 8 by10 picture we have of him.

I did send some care packages to him and the chaplain he was working with in Iraq in Fall 2003. They had asked me to send certain music CDs, DVDs, books.

Macadamia you can not drink those awful things. They are teribly bad for you. Here is some info on them:

If you really need something at least try the 5 hour energy drinks. They are just primarily a big shot of vitamins and are much safer.
I agree totally.

You'll be happy to know I haven't had a drink with caffiene or any other stimulant in over a year. My DH just quit all caffiene and other stimulants a few months ago. I don't encourage frequent use of them for anyone, but thought it might help Dave and wife on their trip. The vitamin drinks never came to mind because I've never tried them. GREAT IDEA!!!!!!!!!! I'm an insomniac every night, but I could use a vitamin shot in the morning for sure.

Thanks for the advice on the drinks. I have never tried a "5 hour" drink or any of the above mentioned as of yet. I usually just get the large drink from McDonalds with Diet Coke and lots of ice. I know ice is bad for your teeth, but I will sacrifice my teeth rather than crash the car . I did just receive an email with a pin number from Disney and it was for April - May and May - June for 5 nights with tickets and free dinning. I have not put the numbers to it yet or anything else beside the reservation. Anyone else get this email with a pin number? After talking with Mac, the deal that is now going on (4 nights get 3 free) may not be the best plan. She suggested looking at an AP rate for March 21 - 28. We are undecided on if we want 7 nights (I have been told by Disney that we can change our reservation to less). I am still looking and waiting for good flight prices. Everyday it looks like we will be . Since I have been so busy with work, I haven't had a chance to look at flights. Could use everyone's help (again, sorry). Flying out of Louisville or Nashville from March 21 - 28...any number of days there would be great.

Morning all! Happy Wednesday!

 

[donaldduck352]

And good morning.Wendsday already!!!

 

[circelli]

Happy Hump Day Homies!!

 

[tlinus]

Happy hump day homies!!!

Dave - you can call and price the package with the pin number, but it doesn't match your dates.....hmmmmmm.....listen to mac, try the AP rate and, if you have it ,the AAA rate.

DH was in my office over the weekend and got us up and running on a wireless network - so now I can check in during my break......I am here alone, but would feel guilty checking in too often.

Christmas decorations will be going up outside, but not turned on for awhile. I am like Bonnie - would rather do it in 50 degree weather instead of 30 degree weather with frozen fingers and bush branches snapping from the cold

Thanks for the offer, Donald, when and if we become serious, we will let you know

Hey Mike Save up all those pennies. I may rething my birthday vacation to coincide with Frank's 8th birthday so we can do my cruise AND HHN (his birthday is October 17th)....I know for sure DH and Kait would do HHN!! She did her first official haunted house Eastern State Penitentary this year and loved it!!

Alright all - off to balance some invoices......catch ya later!!!
