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

[keishashadow]

Good afternoon homies
Glad to hear you are feeling better Mac cause it hasn't been the same without our #1 homie

she's #1, like avis, she tries hard-er...to make us a right-nice joint here to hang

glad mr is home until going out to work later...the sewer clogged in the basement, he's on his 2nd size snake, i sure don't want to call mr plumber; so many trees around my house always worried they might break the pipes

Speaking of the Prom....I went to my Junior Prom and HATED it!

It was sooo boring and the dinner stunk! We ended up going over to a friend's house and watched television most of the night. My date (a real whack job) took off with her friend and was never seen again until the following week in school.

I guess I'm not much of a "dress up and try to be adult" type of person.

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

Yeah...looking forward to seeing you and Lee.

We're looking forward to seeing you again too!!

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

Wow ... great pic!!!

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

... we missed you ...

Well, it's snowing. Sigh...

I don't dare laugh ... we're supposed to only get up to about 37F on Thursday after a few days of around 57-65F ... hopefully no snow though ...

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)

Good choice! We had an Avenger for a rental in Orlando a few trips back ... we both thoroughly enjoyed driving the car. The next trip we snagged a Charger which was even better!

By the way ... happy Monday afternoon all ...

and Mac ... you keep all the snow down East!

i can remember my senior prom.
my brother fixed me up with one of his friends.

after 2 dances and the dinner, we went to his fiancee's house to spend the evening.

well, i watched tv and they were getting married in the morning....so they had lots to talk about.

it was a fix up, what can i say.

I took a poll once among my friends when we were all in our mid 30s. Everyone I knew either skipped their Prom, or went and hated it. I decided that the whole concept of Prom is wasted on the teens, so I threw a grown up Prom. We rented a ballroom at a hotel, where we all got a room for the night. No awkward questions about who your date was going to be. No worrying about spiking the punch, as we had a cash bar. I had a DJ playing a good mix of (mostly 80s) dance music. I even hired a photographer to take pictures as the couples arrived, and had decorations I ordered from Stumps (one of the biggest Prom decor suppliers anywhere). We had a BLAST. Once I split up the cost, it was only about $30 per person. I've already got requests to do it again. I'm telling you, being able to dress up, dance, drink, stumble to the elevator and crash in your own room... without worrying about all the teen crap... Priceless.

I wish I have done this.I did 3proms and each time with the same girlfriend(I married her also).I would go rent a tux and buy the flowers for picture purposes and leave within the hour!!
I like yours better!!!!

i nominate this homie to be the party coordinator for the next homie party.

dawnna, go away soon on a trip and leave the key under the mat again.

we have a professional this time to do the party up right.

whew..........maybe this time around we won't have to drink out of the paper bags....


dawnna, you don't have to go away really.
you can join in on the bash.
i mean, after all, it is your basement we use for our gatherings....

I would be all over the prom party, but DH hates anything that involves dancing. Guess I will be looking for a date, just like in High School.

Bundle up babies. Da Midwest is gettin some snow.

 

[KStarfish82]

Back from FL and not happy about it!

Only 2 months until the big day!


Glad to have you back Mac!

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!
.

!

For the past 10 yrs, we go to 3 formal dances--try being in dressing rooms in the spring with a body that has had kids with all of those girls in high schools. If that's not a depressant, I don't know what is.

she's #1, like avis, she tries hard-er...to make us a right-nice joint here to hang

glad mr is home until going out to work later...the sewer clogged in the basement, he's on his 2nd size snake, i sure don't want to call mr plumber; so many trees around my house always worried they might break the pipes

We came home from Uni 4 yrs ago, to water in our basement from that exact thing. Thought we had it fixed, all new french drains, new porch, the works...come home from Uni 2 yrs later and mud in the basement again. We discovered that the drain from the house was cracked out by the trees where they had put in city water 12 years earlier and they had fixed a crack with duct tape. It took all of that time to build up the dirt from run-off, until it ended up in my house. It took DH about 12 hrs of hard back breaking work to fix. Break of course was beyond where the rented electric snake could reach and about 10 feet down through basically hardened rock/clay. He was tired and grumpy. We thought at 1st that it was from the men who put on the porch with their little cat riding over it--they sorta of knew I was on the war path.

Good luck with your problem.

That's what we do at all of these coal mining dances--best thing about being an adult. (But I still don't tell me mother.)



Rereading what I wrote, it sounds like I must've stayed at Uni for the next 2 yrs....don't I wish.

DS13 took the sweeper and was sucking his face with it. WOW. DUH.
Now he has this big sucker bite looking thing on his face. I hope its off by Friday for the band competition--you know everyone will be looking at the 2 cellos playing in the band.

And hopefully it will be off in time for the spring chorus musical next week. Luckily, he'll have a beard on. He's singing something from 20,000 Leagues under the Sea. Should be a good show--all Disney tunes this year.

Again, Duhhhh
