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

[marciemi]

Okay, you haven't been subjected to my pictures lately, so here goes! We spent the entire day cleaning up Stephen's room (trust me, it needed it!), reorganizing it, and getting his Disney countdown calendar up! Some pics (we start the countdown on Tuesday!):

Don't you love how the bedspread matches? And just for a change of pace, here is Eric's collection of Rubik's cubes from his room:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNIVERSAL

 

[donaldduck352]

Its hard to believe its been 19yrs!!
My 1st time there was in 91'!!!
It was alot different then..

 

[marciemi]

In honor of Universal's birthday, I'll force you to look at our pics from our first trip there in 1991. Gotta love the short shorts! It was right after we both got back from Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf War - we got free passes nearly everywhere (Universal, Disney, Arabian Knights, discounted cruise, etc.).

 

[Tinker-tude]

at least you stayed awake during it......

Kinda have to. I'm the teacher. If I dozed off while talking, somebody would take over and do the wrong lesson.




Marcie, love the pics! Stephen looks happy about the calendar.

I never knew there were so many varieties of Rubics Cubes.

My DH was in Desert Storm, too. I didn't know him then so I had to wait to go to Universal. What branch was your DH in?

Its been so long I dont remember the Hollywood sign.I do remember the Bates house and Kongfratation was the best ride there.Along with the Alfred Hitchcock Show and GhostBusters.The Old HardRock Cafe was over by or just past ET.
I wish I took pics back then!!!
I do remember the Blues Brothers car tho.At least not all has changed!!

 

[donaldduck352]

Have a goodnight and see'ya in the morning!!!

We were both in the Army. He was in Transportation, I was in Quartermaster (but actually an Airborne/parachute repair unit). We were both at Ft. Bragg when we went over there, and Matt (my oldest) was an Operation Desert Stork baby (after the Storm comes the Stork - he has a cute little t-shirt that says that!) - born 9 months after we got back!

You mean this one?

I survived the little girls. I ended up helping with quick changes during rehearsal and show. Ripping off tights, pointe shoes, hair bows and putting the next costumes, etc. on for the next show. FRANTIC.

Actually, I ended up with smarta** 13 yr olds. Aargh.

This dance studio has about 400+ girls and it takes 2 days of show to showcase everyone with very few solos. Owner lives full-time in FL now and runs everything from down there. We've been to several dance studios and this one is very professional. They have several Rockettes and dancers on Broadway from there, so the show is spectacular. Over 3 hrs and 10 minute intermission. Non-stop. My aching butt to go along with my aching foot.

DD finished the show early and my DH made her go home and change into softball uniform and she made it just in time for the game. She was not a happy camper.

Tennis camp in a.m. for DS--1st day of summer vaca begins.

Me and DD are going to clean up her room and get it ready for paint.

Night all. Happy Monday.

Evening everyone ...

Great pics Marcie!! Thanks for sharing.

 

[RAPstar]

Great pics, Marcie!!

Watched the Tony awards tonight. Apparently "Billy Elliot-The Musical" is the show to go see since it won everything for the most part. I was just happy that one of my favorite actresses won for best actress in a musical. Now just lounging till I have to go to bed for work in the morning. See ya'll around.

 

[macraven]

i watched the tonys also.

good show this year.


sitting up for another couple of hours.

will bbl


anyone else expecting severe storms tonight besides us chicagoland homies?

 

[Laurabearz]

Heh, Mac... so we are expecting storms tonight? :::checked weather bug:::

oooohh.... storms are a coming... well I hope to be sound asleep when then hit.

I had my Art Fair this weekend and we were on pins and needles as far as the weather was concerned but all we ended up getting was a bit of rain on Saturday and a light sprinkle today thank goodness.

And can I say my feet hurt SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad it's not funny. I was walking from 7am to 8 pm on saturday and from 8 am to 9 pm tonight. and I mean non stop. On Saturday, other than peeing, I sat for less than 5 minutes. Today, I did manage to squeek in about 20-30 minutes of sitting but that was at the end of the day lol

feet hurt, must drink more.... and Dising while drinking is a bad idea so...

Night all< I hope to catch up here tomorrow.

 

[macraven]

laura, right now it is 11:45 and the storms have started in over my house

i have to sit up to 12:30 to get a son up to go to work.
his alarm clock broke.
he hired me for the job.



take a look at the weather channel.
a bit ago they said it could form to a tornado in our area later tonight.
monday afternoon, another repeat of what is hitting now.



i'm sure you will sleep right thru this tonight......
have a couple of cold ones and you'll never know it all happened...


glad your art fair had decent weather.
ouchie for your feet.

 

[Laurabearz]

no storms here yet, or they must be quiet.

I am still drinking and dising and my feet still hurt. But so far this is the only thread I have actually posted too.

Oh and it's time to wake up your son

Got my boat back today and it runs like a scalled dog.I do miss the jet skis now..I think it was a ploy to get me too bye the ski's..

is this a good thang or a bad thang

On A lighter note,if Mick Foley can make $$$$ on a book about wrestling I think my book-it will never end seems like-could be sold on Amazon!!
You never know!!![!!/I]

this too shall pass = raising a teenager...builds 'our' charactar

hey, i bought that book one of the few tomes i could get middle DS to read in HS

Morning all......


3 days of school left for the kids - one full day monday, half days tuesday and wednesday - they are dancing and happy about that. This year they start back later than normal, AFTER labor day.......kinda wild since we have been used to that last week of august as their starting time.

last day here is tuesday, we don't have a start date yetfor the fall, typically begin the 3rd week in August Our district just luvs going more days than the state requiresno need if they'd cover the material they need in the appropriate time imo

marci - another set of interesting pics! my dream house would be the haunted mansion, bates house would be a close 2nd, nwa-ha-ha

i went to endontist on Thursday & dumbo put latex gloves into my mouth (despite both knowing i have an allergy & my reminding the tech twice). Drove myself to ER, give them credit for fast tracking me upon arrival & sticking me with couple of shots so i could breath, spent rest of day there until BP stabilized. Taking steriods trying to draw out the fluids, etc. This is me
