Happy Saturday to all

Wow, I can't believe we are only 5 days away from Florida sunshine! Still working hard to get us ready to go. Took all our rolled change to the bank (we save from vacay to vacay), we had $322! That was an awesome discovery. I told my dh -- no paying for some pesky unnecessary bill like electricity, this is Darkside money!

Hope everyone's having a great Saturday, off to do

Afternoon, Homies!

It's been very loud here with lots of thunder, rain, and lightning. Yesterday the rain didn't even cool things down. It was 90 degrees!

morning homies....

i have to go out of town now, and will be back sometime next week.
got a call from the parental units and it's hi ho silver, away for mac now....


came back to add before i walk out the door, play nice while i'm gone....

So I can't poke or pester anyone? Even a little? How will you stop me?

Hope your parents are okay and you have a safe trip. We'll miss you!

Max is going to his Mom-Mom's while we're away. He stayed there last Saturday (& overnight) while we were at Dorney Park for DH's company picnic. Btw...rode Possessed (front seat)...way kewl

Lucky dog! He must love being the center of EVERYONE'S world. If we had any relatives closeby, the only one who might watch my fur kids would be my older sis.

Don't worry...we'll keep the troublemakers at bay ....and you know who you are too!

So I guess I have to be good afterall. Dang, I was wanting to go wild while Mac was gone taking care of parental units....

Matt's at West Point still and not liking it nearly as much as Navy, much to DH's and my chagrin. ADR's are made, countdown calendar is done. Work is almost tolerable. Weather is actually 60's and sunny! (Yes, that's warm) Kind of a down time here!

Yeah Navy! I think of all the armed forces, Air Force treats their people the best. That may be worth considering. When DH was in the Navy they used to go to the AF base to relax and have fun. Best food, best perks, etc.

DH came home with a job offer in Colorado with a fantabulous salary. Money isn't everything in life.

What would you guys do? He has a pretty good job here and wasn't looking, but was offered this out of the blue at $100K more than what he makes here. That would definitely take care of the bills.

We'd definitely not be by the family, but it's not like we see them a whole lot now. I'd hate to move my daughter during her hs years.

I just don't know....

Would be kinda cool to go take a vaca there to just check out the situation, but it's pretty far from Uni.

Go check it out and follow your gut feeling. How likely is the job in CO to be a permanent job? What part of the state is it in? Moving during high school isn't as terrible as you might think. You just end up with two groups of friends in different places.

I know there are a lot of aspects to consider like moving expenses, possible differences in cost of living, selling your house, the arts scene in CO, etc. Just do your research and follow your gut feeling.

How much time does he have to consider the offer? Will the company help with moving expenses?

In case anyone is interested - I've started the trippie from our May trip here

 

[marciemi]

is he supposed to 'like it'? Thought it was more of an ends to a means...education/career? maybe he'll warm up to it

He's just at West Point for the week long summer seminar. It's supposed to be more of a "selling the academy to convince the kids they want to come there". He still has another year of high school left. Navy's was much more hands on, get dirty, play in the mud, see what it's like. West Point's was much more lecture, classes, and down time. Some pics from his Navy time (I don't think I posted these before - if I did, let me know!). He's the tall, blond kid!:

Doesn't he look like's he's having fun? Anyways, he leaves for Air Force for theirs on Monday, which is his first choice!

Hey Homies!

Just a post before we start watching "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World", and oldie but a goodie!

marciemi -- Wow, your ds looks so grown up. What an exciting time for him and you!

CdnFriendsofPooh -- Loving your trippie, thanks for the link!

RAPstar -- You can't go wrong with a little witchiness to end your day!

My ds and I watch Wipeout every week. It's a great laugh, and something you can usually let the whole family watch.

Ok, pizza's here -- sorry I didn't get to everyone, but I hope everyone has an awesome evening!

I remember seeing a news story a while ago about how clean are the actual "glass" glasses at different hotels. They actually set up hidden cameras at different hotels, made sure the glasses were dirty and watched what happened. All I can say is I will never drink from a "glass" glass at any hotel, even if it is a 5-star hotel!!!

I came across this article earlier today - Six Flags Parks Files for Bankruptcy Protection ... sad

Just wait.....I'll serenade you with "I Put a Spell On You" a la The Devine Miss M in the middle of the park! Once we get the theme, I'll start watching more scary movies to get me in the mood (especially if the "Classic Monster" rumour comes true).

Six Flags filing bankrupty was along time waiting.But on a ligter note the economy ,hopefully will come back and they can pull out of it.This has got me scared on the small scale parks.Cypress Gardens closed down as with alot of smaller parks.The goverment is trying to help,but can only do so much!!
We got a long road ahead of us.I just pray SW,US and DW will pull thru..

On a side note...I just saw an OxiClean commercial with our loud mouth friend Billy Mays who I can't stand...I threw up a little in my mouth!
