Something About Nothing...........#8

[Coach81]

Good Morning PEEPS!!! Yes.. even down here in South Louisiana we are feeling the bite of this winter. I am bracing myself for another cold night on the sidelines as I coach the soccer team tomorrow night. Forecast calls for lows in the TEEENS.. which is virtually unheard of down here... brrrrr

On the brighter note.. I'm down 14 pounds so far.. down to 193.. from my previous 207 (thanks Disney Deluxe Dining Plan), hoping to somehow get it down to my ultimate goal of 175 by our summer trip back to Disney in May!!

Afternoon fellow frozen homies ...

i forgot my pw again for facebook.

this year, i started planning the '10 trip 2 weeks after i came back from the oct. trip.

We had already decided when we were heading back down in October '10 while we were still there this past October

i thought i would be back into my regular routine since skool is back in session.

i added another project to do though.

i found a man that was out of work that does carpenter work.
he is redoing my floors for me so we can live like real peeps again.
he is very reasonable too.

you would not believe how pitiful my floors look............

today he started on the bathroom floor.
what i thought would be a simple job of laying down new tile over the old tile and giving the room a paint job, problems arose.

leaky pipes.



enough said....

Everyone in the house is kicking there selves about trash day.It got down to 20f this morning with the wind blowing and we all sat around the TV at 6am praying for the warm up on the news when we heard the trash man go-bye.I tried to flag him down to no avail.Guess he liked the heat of the truck other then turning around!!

I can just see youse guys running down the street after the truck yelling at him to stop and turn around ...

And then you start all over again?

Or are you not doing the DxDP this time?

Go Central Michigan!!

Well, I'm not particularly a CMU fan, but it was what my DH needed to win the football pool at work! $120 - but hey, we'll take it!!!

Predicting dire weather here too Mac. DH was supposed to go down to Chicago for business tomorrow but the people there told him they weren't coming in so he shouldn't bother driving down! Not that I think they planned to with the forecasts. Don't think we're supposed to get as much as you guys though. Hoping it all goes south of us (sorry! ).

what a swell homie you are marcie.
you are wishing the snow all be south of youse......


i think your wish came true.





it is yucky here and the streets are awful.
i went to the store and saw many in the ditch and one that ran over neighbors mailboxes.
the po po came and gave that gal a ticket.

Hi Everyone, been a while, have been insanely busy since I came back from my October trip, (which was our best yet) I can't believe it's been that long since I've posted, been lurking here and there.

I got my wife a PUG for Christmas, his name is Stashu (Stanley in Polish). He is very cool, a great addition to the family!

Here are his pix on Facebook

I'll try to get here more often, hope everyone is well, going to try and catch up a bit!

-Mike

i always love it when you drop in mike!

such a cutie that Stashu is!!

remember, plan for columbus day weekend this year....

Akdar, he's ADORABLE!!!!!!!

Love the Rottie, too.

Mac, sorry about the leaky pipes. What a pain.

Busy day tomorrow. The roads may be too icy to drive on, and the kids are supposed to get shots. Then there's the shopping and Jared's P.E. class. Wish us luck.

i bet the kids are thrilled with no shots today......

you have been nominated to join the club of "we hate winter".
the vp position has already been taken but the spot for a baker of cookies is still open....

sometimes keisha i wish my dump of a house would just burn down so i can start over.......


but then, that would not be a kewl thing .....

 

[macraven]

yesterday when i stepped on the scales, i lost a pound.
woohoo.....


to celebrate that last night, i ate chocolates.


you know where this is leading to.....
so i spent over an hour working out today.




at noon time, i went to the mall and did menards and home depot.
thought i would pick up ceramic tiles for a couple of the rooms and also regular vinyl tile to 2 rooms.

my vinyl tile cost more than the ceramic.

now i am all set to have the rest of the floors redone.

just have to wait for snow season to cease so the dude comes back.
he has a side job of plowing parking lots for some stores and for a few dozen old ladies.

when he is done plowing, he is mine for the floor redo...

eh, i'll add you to the list as you can live anywhere in the world and be a member of the We Hate Winter club.......




in my area, winter is considered jan, feb, march, november and december for the snow removal and salt trucks.

there have been many past years where April and October were added to the list for late and early snow falls.

 

[macraven]

i just love it that we all hate the same thing.........

 

[Cdn Friends of Pooh]

Hey Mac ... I think we need the Tag Fairy to add another tag to our profiles ... "We hate Winter Club"

 

[macraven]

Hi all. Sneaking in here 'cause everyone claims that when I get on here I give the computer a virus. But here's the fantastical news!!! Planning a Disney trip for August and the DH said we can go to Uni at Christmas!!!!


Kids went to school for one stinking day this week. Aargh--no Easter break for them.

DS14 sang with B. E. Taylor (remember Vitamin L) for his Christmas show--way to go Triadelphia Middle School.

DS16 is ready to take permanent drivers test, but now the weather won't let her... (personally I think more time with the parallel parking is in order). She's trying out for All-state orchestra next week and then governor's school for writing after that. Send some mummy dust her way.

got my new purty wooden floors--thanks to all those Canadians and their great floors!

Well that's my quick drive by...

Any thoughts on Contemporary versus Poly versus Yacht? Worth splurging on club for any of them? Decisions--can't stand them--even the floor was picked out by the salesman. He even picked out my carpeting several years ago.

My thots? ... depends on how much time you're actually going to be spending at the resort. Since we basically use our room to sleep and shower, it's not worth splurging to stay at one of the Deluxes or Moderates - so we stay at Pop - and with just the 2 of us, we don't need the extra room.

If you are going to be making good use of the room (for naps, etc), using the pool, then go for it ... my choice of those would be the Poly just because I love the atmosphere there

So this is where the 'We hate winter" club is at! Where do I sign?

Wednesday, we received 5 more inches of snow. Tomorrow's high temperature is expected to be -1F and Saturday's low around -18F. I think that last day that the temperature was above freezing was Christmas Eve day, when we received 8 inches of snow. And the wind chill is suppose to be around -25F.

Looking forward to next week when temperatures are forecasted to finally rise above freezing, which is suppose to be the norm!
