Something About Nothing.........#7

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

Afternoon all! I spent a few hours at the Studios and IOA today...the crowds are gone...for the most part. I didn't see any line over 30 minutes in either park.

We are so looking forward to our trip in a few weeks

Hey guys - I posted this on a separate thread over on the Community Board, but I know many of you don't venture over there! So I wanted to share it with you as well!

Just wanted to share with all my friends on the DIS that we're celebrating our cat's 20th birthday today! She's still in great health and we're happy to have had her with us for this long! Here's the photo we submitted for the local paper, with my three teenagers and their older "sister" for her birthday:

And one of the earliest pictures I could find of her from 1989:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEPPER!!

I had a cat that looked just like that when I was little! Thanks for sharing.

Okay, just a few prom pics. First, Matt and his GF. It was almost nice out for their pictures. After it getting up to 74 in the afternoon, when we left for pics, it was 71 outside. 45 minutes later when I drove home it was 57! The poor girls were all freezing out there!

Then, their whole group! Don't they look like Disney princesses with all the pretty, colorful dresses?

Eric warming up at the church before the wedding he played the piano for (and hey - got paid $75!):

And with the vocalists (one of whom is a friend of his):

Didn't want to take any pics during the mass with flash, but I did do a bit of casual videotaping with my camera!

 

[Metro West]

Well...I'm heading to bed.

Have a good night!

WoW!!! They all looked great! For sure that pic needs to be framed

i laid on my hospital death bed for 5 days and came home to what.....1 or 2 pages of posting............



man, it's dead here.......



we need to kick the party in high gear.
i had to read the community board tonight for my kicks.


now that is sad.....



i glanced at a few pages before i posted this but do want to thank scotlass, donald, rose and a few more for their kind words.


thanks homies.


now on to business.


marci, what is the style now, all girls wear strapless formal wear?

that was a very nice picture of all the dates dressed in vibrant colors.
way kewl!

i think the guys should wear more color also.
spray paint your son's close in orange for the next formal dance.
i love orange on men.


and niki, i though you were aware of the chgo board.
you should stop in there sometime.
i'll have to pm you and inquire about how your mil did with the cellulitis.


it's a different style of this thread, but some very nice peeps over there.

i think i started with that thread the year slo started it.

not many homies up my way on that thread so i have only done 2 of the meets so far.


geffric, how is the job hunting going for you?

remember, when you do find a job you have to tell them you can't work on the dates of the fall trip.............

i'll supply you and the fam with pb and j for a couple of months if you keep the fall plans......


and andy, you buy a different car so you don't have to spend $$$$$ to fix your one you traded.
now the "new" car is acting sick?

dang.


laurabearz,
potholes.....

you know they multiply in chicago all the time.
i hate those suckers.
yea, i have screwed up tires and rims hitting them....

metro west, you always get off when i get on....

donald, farmer in the dell, where are you?



i'm up for another 30 minutes and then it's pill time for me.
then it will be off to bed.
2 days in a row once i got home i slept 18 hours straight.
tomorrow i hope to break that record....



marci, almost forgot.......you know i cats too..

Hey mac. Good to have you back. pm me about that Chi-town thread. Would love to get in on a meet. You must need the sleep, or else you wouldn't be sleeping such an unnatural amount. Your body has gone through a major infection. This causes much more exhaustion than you think, since you are not physically active. Your body is fighting really hard, though. Give it awhile and give yourself some rest.

Had an OK weekend. Played a little golf on Saturday. Worked at the office and on home improvement projects and laundry on Sunday. I will be in Waukegan for a trial tomorrow. Gotta get some sleep.

Goodnight homies.

 

[donaldduck352]

Where did the weekend go??
Another Monday already...
Well let me get it over with.Have A great day all..



Glad to see Ya posting mac!!!

Good Monday Morning Homies

Rain here but I guess we need that to make those pretty flowers bloom!!!

Hope you are doing better today Mac.

I have my future sil's bridal shower this weekend...let the fun begin!!

BBL!!

 

[marciemi]

Well, I don't mind the RAIN to make the flowers grow, but I think the 2-6 inches of SNOW they're predicting for tonight and tomorrow isn't going to help them much!

Yesterday was a serious cleaning day. Vacuumed and steam cleaned all the carpets, cleaned all the bathrooms and bathroom floors, cleaned up the boys' rooms, went through all the junk on the kitchen counters, dusted everywhere, and cleaned the kitchen, hall, and laundryroom and floors.

Oh, and of course, did lots of

Well, the weather was horrible, so it was a good time to get it done. Some of it I don't think had been done (ie. dusting ) since we moved in here nearly 3 years ago!

This is at my bil's Stag & Doe this past Saturday....(party before their wedding!!)

I am ALWAYS the tallest!!!

 

[marciemi]

Well, it's snowing. Sigh...

mac is bac:

make it so #1

DSs team "wheeling wildcats" got their 1st win on the road & i got to watch it on the 'net whilst the pens went down in flames

donald, i am so hoping they don't mess up the ST movie! i do so like 'sylar' actor, ive got high hopes

stag & doe? never heard the term, combo bachlor/bachlorette partee? hmm, how can u get down & dirty with the prospective mate hanging around lol

so many here close to going 'home', very exciting...need pics!

marci - that is quite a healthy 20 year old kitty! u must be doing something right, congrats. Seems like prom was just yesterday, such vibrant pics...evidently saturated color was the look, the girls look like jelly beans...much prefer the pastle blue ur future DIL was wearing.

andy - didn't get around to congrating u on the new ride & sucessful play with all the worry here last week! My DH picked himself out a new ride last weekend too, i stole it off him, now he gets the SUV...i keep telling him it's a lateral move

dodge avenger, they're dealing...got bumper to bumper 8/80,000 on everything,including the tires (except for wear & tear)

 

[marciemi]

Mac - to answer your question, the rule here is that other dances (Snow Ball, Homecoming, Spring Formal) the girls wear dressy dresses, but not floor length. Prom it's required for (by the unwritten laws of peers, not that they wouldn't be allowed in). You do see girls even in pants at the other dresses, similarly, you'll see guys in polo shirts. But not prom. Strapless I think is an option up to you, but when I looked at the wedding shop DS got his tux at (and GF got her dress at), I found exactly one wedding dress that wasn't strapless and looking around the other racks (prom, bridesmaid, etc.), the only ones that weren't were for the mother of the bride/groom! So it's evidently the "in" thing!

And speaking of my old cat, she's figured out something new. Whenever I'm at the computer, she likes to curl up on my lap. But of course she wants me to pet her, not type! So normally, she'll stick her head under my hand (which is fine) or try to "bite" my fingers (not hard, but to try to get my attention), which usually results in her being placed unceremoniously on the floor.

Well, our computer has one of those keyboards that slides out from underneath the desk. Today while I was typing, she figured out she can lean against it with her paws and make it slide back under the desk, effectively keeping me from typing! Guess you can teach an old CAT new tricks!

have ds buy a tux. i'm sure the rentals on them escalate each year.

i can't keep up with formal dances and informal ones.
but, i always enjoy the pics you show of your boys and their dates in them

Did youse see first big crush thread !!?



nice to have you back sweetie.

of course.
i didn't post on it......

i would be the laughing stock of the cb then.....

it is NICE to be back, tanks homie.
