humpty day

marci - ur DS looks dashing! u must be so proud

mj - may the (mom) force be with you

don't think i ever bored ya with jr's prom pic (note the date is not a GFjust a classmate since kidnergarten). semi funny story re the tux selection. Clerk showed us a wall of $99 tuxes. Jr wanted a scarface type one, i spied one that was very luxe. Turned it it was an armani & 'somehow' segued over to the cheapo sectioni still say it was a set up

he's the smirker on the right

 

[minniejack]

congrats to your son on graduation and hope he enjoys his last 2 wks of freedom from adulthoood

Keisha your son looks handsome. I'm hearing you about the Armani--I was at TJ Maxx today (coincidentally buying some of the Disney H20 products that they have in the deluxe resorts for way cheaper than Amazon) and they had this gorgeous Armani shawl--their price was a measly $150

And did you buy the tux or rent? I need to buy one for DS's orchestra and need to start the hunt--the way he's growing, I'm hoping it lasts for at least a year.

Mad Hattered...what cash? Just finished my bills and there isn't any left.

You know what freaks me the most about the NYC trip? Not the kids...it's sleeping with a stranger at the hotel--what if I snore, or talk in my sleep, or have to go to the bathroom and it really stinks I'll never be able to look the woman in the eye again....

i understand completely...cause i do all of the above...don't worry about it.

we rented it, had to sign a wavier that the store's insurance wouldn't cover if he lost the jacket i'd be on the hook & guido would come looking for me (although i later found out my homeowner's would've covered it). I was doubly nervous all night.

I did find out that the tux place sells 'anything - like new/used' off the floor...as in make them an offer they can't refuse. Mgr told me it'd be comparable to renting one a couple times. Naturally, u'd want to buy ur own shirt.

I know several cruisers who bought their younger kids ones on ebaykids grow so fast.

I know several cruisers who bought their younger kids ones on ebaykids grow so fast.

You mean like this?

Yes, we still have them all in the basement, but since the youngest is now about 4 inches taller than me, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess they don't fit anyone any more! Think we paid $30 each for them on ebay - definitely not high quality but worked for the 2 formal nights on the ship!

Oh, and they made it down to Ft. Lauderdale today without incident and enjoyed their hotel and pool tonight. Asked DH how they were working out the sleeping arrangements tonight (since on the cruise they have 2 singles and a rollaway so it won't be an issue). He was like "well, they said they'd take one bed and I'll take one. Why, is that a problem?" Told him I don't want anyone pregnant before Matt leaves for AF! On the plus side, GF turns 18 in just over an hour so at least she'll be legal!

And I just have to add.....this is one of my favorite pics I've seen on this board. I have always thought that....just sayin'.

Thanks MH! One of those pure luck, once in a lifetime, with a disposable camera, "hey guys, jump in and I'll take a picture of you" shots! That's why I still have it in my siggie and it's been 12 years! (well, and to remind me when I'm ready to strangle my teens that they were once lovable and cute and happy!).

memories, we have our memories to keep us warm

if the light is just right, and you look out of the corner of your eye, you can still catch a glimpse of 'your baby' in their face

what you forgot to do was to resale the tuxes on ebay! i never do either it all goes to friends or goodwill

your DH must be a very trusting man

one day closer to the weekend

I spoke briefly to Mac tonight.

She said that her parents are not doing any better.

Please keep the prayers going.

[keishashadow]

aw, sorry to hear, thanx for letting us know penny

 

[Worfiedoodles]

There are some awful handsome kids out there -- and they all look happy, too -- must be all that Universal time!

Just ran 10M, really happy because I've increased my weekend long runs from 9 to 10. I'm slow as a turtle, but I just keep movin' on!

So sorry to hear things are not better for mac. Prayers, Pixie Dust and Mummy Dust continue to be sent, along with a lot of encouragement and good thoughts.

I'll second that sentiment Maria.

We love you mac, hang in there. I know how hard it is, I lost my Mom last year after a long bout with Alzheimer's and a series of other illnesses. Don't forget to take care of yourself too.

It has been so hot here in GA lately that I'm almost regreting my choice of going to Orlando instead of buying a new pool. The forecast is in the 90's all week....I'm going to melt away soon.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

[schumigirl]

We reached a massive 61 Farenheit at lunchtime today

Who would want to live in the North East of England.................even when it`s warm........ it`s still cold here!!!!!

I was so meant to live in Florida

Mac........still thinking of you and hoping for better news for you and your family

 

[keishashadow]

OMG pig latin, haven't thought of that for years

now, im channeling 3 stooges

maria - curious, what brand/style of running shoes do you prefer? my youngest DS is considering long distance running (track vs tennis next year) & i am clueless.He's just going to start training @ the track this summer with shoes he used for tennis (probably not the best as possibly too heavy)
