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

[Laurabearz]

Not a good day today. My husband's car, which I was driving this week while he was out of town:

And, no, all the yellow isn't a nice new sporty trim or anything.

(I fought the drive-thru at McDonalds, and the drive-thru won)!

Yes, he's going to kill me!

Oh, and before you ask.....$2300. Sigh!

OMG I know all about car woes... we are close to getting the car started, and then we can figure out what damage the dropping did I sure hope your DH doesnt blow to big of a gasket ((hugs))

My Art Fair is this weekend (I run it) and the weather is suppose to suck.

We leave for our road trip a week from tomorrow, and I rented a van today, just in case our van is really messed up. We WILL go on our vacation come hell or high water!!!

Both of which are a possibility lol


Ok tomorrow is the last day of school and it's only an hour, sadly it's an EARLY hour so we can't sleep in a bit HA!

 

[Laurabearz]

Heh I popped in coz I found this...

 

[Tinker-tude]

I watched a couple of episodes of Dollhouse.....but then I got busy with rehearsals for Sweeney. I'll have to get it on DVD when it comes out.

Find a friend with high speed internet and watch them online. Then you can catch up and watch next season!

We are the Wednesday garbage pick up people.........


do we win something now?.

I think I should win something. I'm the only one so far who gets garbage picked up on Monday. If there are others, I was the first to claim it, so I come in first twice. Send the cookies my way. And a crown, I must have a crown.

Oh, that stinks.... And sorry about the 15 y/o knowing everything. It won't be too many years before he's terribly embarrassed about that.... On the bright side, blue and yellow look great together. I may redecorate my kitchen in those colors one day. Just tell the DH you colored it that way on purpose to rejuvinate it. If it was planned, you had a good reason for it.




Dh and I had a great night watching So You Think You Can Dance. Tomorrow we find out who is in the Top 20. Talk about talented dancers! WOW!!!!!!!!! We love this show. It's a set-up similar to American Idol and has some of the same producers. The judges tour the country and hold auditions. Dancers do a routine in their own dance style. If the judges like it, they go to Vegas for the next phase. They all learn dances in hip-hop, ballroom, jazz, contemporary, and broadway. They cut people after each dance. They also get divided into small groups to choreograph and present a number to a randomly selected CD that has a song in any one of the dance styles. If the judges aren't sure if they should be cut, they let them "dance for your life". If you've ever been involved in dance, or someone in your family is, this is a GREAT show. Even if you don't dance (like my DH), you can appreciate how difficult it is to make a body do the things they do. I wish they would put it on DVD, but then you'd probably have people stealing the choreography.

Morning! One more day 'til Friday!!

Donald, wow, you became a dis'er right about the same time as me and your posts are in the 4 thousands.

According to my teens, we must all be losers...

 

[minniejack]

I just saw the pic of your car, Run for the Hills!

I'm still getting flak from where I backed into the garage door ten years ago--hey we needed a new one! I was just helping the cause.

And I backed into his truck which was parked behind the garage door another time--he knew I had to leave and he never parked there before!

Men, they all know it's not us women drivers--they just make that stuff up.

Definitely nix the beach trip.
After my experience with teens--no one will ever be left alone again.
I plan on going to college and be a roomie. I'll be the bestest MIL.

I claim Friday morning for gar-baszh pick-up--Had to make it sound all fanciful.

 

[Metro West]

Morning all...have a great Thursday!

 

[marciemi]

Guess I'm the only one with trash day today? (Thursday)

Wow, I must be special! Going to work early today because I'm WAY behind and have to get caught up before I leave (has to be on time) to run people to piano, soccer, and then get Matt at the airport. DH arranged his flight conveniently (not) so that he gets in about 1.5 hours after Matt. THAT helps!

Let's all hope for a better day today than mine was yesterday. Now I get to go to work and have everyone comment on the car (yes, our lot is only 4 cars so they will see it!).

[macraven]

i think Miss Tamie wins the prize on being first on garbage pick up day.

Let's just hope that she doesn't get the cookies that minniejack pulls out of her friday garbage pick up.

 

[minniejack]

I missed that the color combo was blue and gold. Let me think....hmmmm....Let's Gooooo Mountaineers!

Hey all

Well my trash pick ups are on WED and Sat. Mac add me to the hump day trash list ...


A few pages back I was posting about waiting to hear from our JHS's AP about our Six FLags trip . Well we had it out on the phone yesterday and she REFUSES to allow me to do as I did two years ago with my older one and take my DD the same day as the school . I explained I talked to the school then and that there was no issue etc etc etc ... NOTHING from her . So I asked her if it is better for the kid to go another day and miss school instead and she said yes ...I was like WTH ??? So now I asked my DD if she wanted to go with the school on the bus or go the next day or so with 4 or 5 of her best friends with me . ALL 5 of her friends want to go with me they dont want to go with the school because they are only in park for 5 hours and on the bus for 2 hours and they don't like the teacher they are suppose to be on the bus with . But here is the kicker the kids have prom on Monday so they will not be in school since they are all going for hair , nails etc . Tuesday is 1/2 day of school so I am sure not too many will be there . Wed they are going to Six Flags so she and her friends are not going to school , Then we are going with DH school on Thursday to ...SIX FLAGS .... I was so annoyed with the AP at our school she said if I took the kids on Wed. she would throw them off of GRADUATION even after I paid 120 dollars for it UGH TO say the least I was ...So I knew DH's school was going on Thursday and well now so are we. My DD is happy her friends are happy and well who cares about the AP anyway ...LOL


Kids are home today from school and I am hung over from last night . I went to the elementry school PTA dinner and there was OPEN BAR .... NOW I have a though ..UGH Here come the asprin LOL at least I slept late ...

Marci ....OUCH with the van ... I send you .


BBL all going to try to get out of the bed and so something ..LOL

 

[tlinus]

Morning HOmies!!!

Friday for me.....off work tomorrow, so it counts, right?

I have Monday and Thursday garbage pickup.......1st and 3rd Wednesday is recycling day.

Janet - is that officer Jer that got hired???? YAYAY

Lawrence - sorry to hear about the dental probs. I cannot stand the man with the drill. I have SERIOUS anxiety issues with sitting in a dental chair - even for a cleaning. I need to find someone who will knock me out and just do what needs to be done.

marcie - so ds and gf broke up. I agree with the others who say better now than later. He will bounce back - needs to keep his head in what he has planned for HIS future. It's a shame she is spreading that she dumped him though....maybe she prefers to be the dumper rather than the dumpee. Why can she not just say it was mutual?? Oh well And OUCH on the car. My bumper and the cart return at the supermarket were hugging - my bumper got the worst end of it.

Tomorrow night is dd's 8th grade dance. No date, but a pretty dress. Just going with a bunch of friends. Will have some pics for you. Matter of fact I owe youse guys various pictures from Christmas on til now.....one of these days.

Going to see if me and DH will make our trip to the Horse Track to watch the Belmont. Each year we only place a few bets on the Triple Crown Races. SO far we are still ahead from last year Generally we hit the exacta or trifecta.

Got to git some work done......talk at you all later, gaters!!

I have the same problem and thats why all of my teeth are bad and now they are sending me to a oral surgeon and the problem with that is my dental insurance doesn't cover sedation so that means anywhere from $250 to $300 plus the price to pull them and we have no money other than the vacation money and we are too close for me to use any of it
So until after the trip I guess its atibotics and pain killers

 

[coastermom]

We have our plans for Six Flags and all the kids are happy with it . They will be out of school 4 out of 5 days next week but it is the end and I don't really care...And then they can all go to Graduation anyway . So after it all I still am getting what me and my daughter wanted but we are getting it even better ..LOL All is good with it .

Mac . about HHN

If we go it is just me and DH . I will SUCK IT UP and go to the parks with him and be but at least I know he will be happy . LOL

I can only go Thursday to Monday columbus day weekend . I really would love to go longer or during the week not the weeend but with it is hard to do that .

I really wanna stay at the HRH we LOVE it so there and well it is his 40th birthday ...I guess I should splurge ...


I wanna do both parks during the day and then do at least two nights of HHN ...Is it at both parks or just the one ??

Any other questions I need to ask or have answer just tell me ... I know it is hard but now that the Las Vegas thing is shot to hell I figured this would knock his socks off ...IDK I am trying to be a good wife ...BUT I am crapless to go to this ......

 

[coastermom]

Minnie we are skipping school just not going the day they are going ... She is a very NOT NICE WORD inserted there ... I just don't get how some people get their jobs ...nobody likes this woman and well now I KNOW WHY ...

St Lawrence, 5 years ago i had a tooth, molar, that broke off at the gum line. the tooth was only held together by the filling.

i had to go to an oral surgeon and also pay for the gas to be knocked out.
my insurance did not cover it.
i made arrangements to make payments to him for months to cover it.

call and see if he can cut you a deal and let you pay on installments.

it is worth a shot.
the worse thing he can say is no.

don't suffer in pain.
an infection could spread to your jaw bone if you wait too long.

i'll be there from the thursday thru the tuesday the 13th.
this year i am staying at rph.
service last year at hrh didn't even come close to my expectations of service.

rph will be cheaper.
i heard the supersaver rate has been extended for the hotels.
i'm saving a lot of $$ by using that rate this year.

you won't be in the room that much except to relax and sleep.
go cheaper to make it affordable for the both of youse.

i'll be doing all 4 nights i guess but since you only plan to do 2 nights, go on the non peak nights of thursday and sunday.
the tickets are $69.99 per night.
if you buy the FFP/frequent fear pass, it is valid for all non peak nights.
it costs $69.99.

you buy that and you are covered for both thursday and sunday nights for hhn.
hhn is only at the studios side.
this is where it all began years ago.
the event has not been held at ioa since about 3 years ago now.


it is not that scary at all.
i end up laughing going thru the houses.

and, it generally is a conga line going thru them so how many scares can you really get...

i would suggest you buy the epp for the sunday nights if you go then.
if you decide you want a longer evening at the event, do saturday or sunday besides the thursday one.

make plans for going.

btw, i am a also.
i know the pay is not a lot.

from the day i return to the time period i return again for hhn, i save a percentage of my pay checks for the trip.
