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

[Worfiedoodles]

Whew! Good news on the kitty front. Worf just needs his fluids twice a week instead of once. I mean, it isn't good -- but it's better than the alternative!

Marcie -- You are a very brave Mama! My ds is only 12 and I'm already dreading the separation! I know Matt will do great things and he's on a path for success, but he's still not with you and that has to be hard He looks very handsome and prepared. He's going to make you even more proud!

Barb -- I'll be honest, I read your post and selfishly thought -- I hope that TR gets started before we leave at the end of August! Your TRs totally get me ready for our trips, I love the details and photos, and I know everyone appreciates the time and effort you put into creating them I can't wait to read all your impressions of HP land!

Keisha -- Hope you are enjoying a fabulous trip!

mj and Keisha -- Congrats on 18 years! We just completed 17, I was a May bride

I have my own little weirdness with 6*6. I mostly run on the TM since the weather here is often junk, and I frankly prefer it. So, I really, really don't like to see that ever on the TM. So, any time it might come up (I run 6M most days of the week [that is, when I make it on], and a 10M on the weekends), I look down until I'm pretty sure it's passed. Sometimes I get "lost" and don't realize I'm coming up on it and I'll see it. I try to tell myself it's just the symbol of Nero and nothing harmful, but it still creeps me out.

Time to finish up breakfast and get moving...

Janet's already gone... She was runnin around like a nut last few days tryin to get ready to go. No doubt some RnR for her this weekend.

Killer day at work again Sometimes I wonder if it's really worth it to go away in the summer. Crazy working before I go, even crazier when I get back. But, good news is I only have 1 more day of work (Tuesday) before we go Going to be the day from h*ll....but, knowing it's the last for a couple weeks....aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh......

Ciao all!

Good morning Homies! Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

Maria, glad your kitty is feeling better.

Marci,I can only imagine what you're feeling, I know how hard it is to let go.

To everyone else going the next few weeks, drink a Butterbeer for me and have a great time!

Nothing much going on here, just the same old hot, hot, hot summer in GA.

 

[minniejack]

Same here. Hot Hot Hot and Humid Humid Humid

Both kids lost their tennis matches, but DS showed up this morning and won his consolation match by default 'cause the other kid didn't show--doesn't mean anything other than we could have slept in another hour and then have gone to church. Thing is: he and his opponent both had gone to the movies together last night--don't these kids talk to one another???

Happy Anniversary to me and DH. Going to the 'Burgh for dinner tonight up on Mt. Washington. Beautiful views--can't wait.

Oh and got some fantastic deals on Fiesta after all. Only waited in line for one hr. People from NY, KY, OH drove 5+hrs for this thing. I plan on going back in October--I heard that the lines aren't as crazy. So for now I actually have some plates w/o chips--'cause I'm a klutz and can use plenty of plates

Glad about your kitty.

And Marci you must be so proud and sad at same time

Really curious to see HP land. Some of the threads here on the DIS are insanely crazy anymore That's exactly what I was telling my dear hubby this morning--used to be you knew or recognized everyone over here and not too much smack going on, now--sheesh--people just disrupting the happy place Don't they realize it's just a vacation for heaven's sake?


have fun lawrence if you haven't left yet, your ticker still isn't showing

 

[Tinker-tude]

Hey, Homies!

Long time no post, so I thought I'd say hello.

Yesterday was our 13th anniversary. We celebrated on Saturday night with dinner and a movie. It's been a great life with DH, he's awesome!


Wow, bunches on their trips or about to go. HAVE A GREAT TIME!


Marci, keep your chin up. You've prepped your very bright kid for great success. You'll be in his heart wherever he happens to be.

I'm so behind I'll have to ketchup later.


We have a rodent problem.... We had to get a LOT of work done on the van AC ($1,000 fo unneccesary parts and labor), and it turned out that a mouse had chewed the wire on the thermostar. A $40 problem that cost us an arm and a leg. They never cleaned the nest out of the AC, and now it smells like a nasty rotting rodent cage. To top it off, the rodent boogers chewed a hole in one of the condensation tubes, and we get a mini-flood of water on the floor everytime we run the AC. Thanks, humidity. Bought a shop vac to clean the mess up every day or two (three gallons of water at a time), and I'm asking around about where to get the AC fixed for good this time. I was already grossed out about the smell and the thought of mice scurrying through the van, but on the way home from church, a mouse ran over my foot and under my husband's seat. I jumped and screamed, which was a little disconcerting to DH. He set traps in the van when we got home, and we caught one soon after. But who knows how many are living in there under the hood?


We so need a cat.

Happy 13th!!

I would've freaked! eeks!

Bound to get better 'cause you're officially starting on your 14th yr of marriage so unlucky 13 is behind you.

 

[bubba's mom]

Congrats Tam Happy Anniversary.

As for the van...I would be demanding THEY fix it. They already have your money....I would NOT spend $ elsewhere to fix what you paid them to fix

Time to open that can of whoopa$$!

Happy Monday.....i think?

 

[minniejack]

Morning--I think--only 4 more days 'till Saturday

Tired--DD keeps waking up all night and flipping on the lights, banging down the stairs to go get some meds 'cause of the pain from her wisdom teeth extraction. Of Course she wants to wake everyone up in the process.

Lawrence I don't know how you dealt with all of that pain

 

[bubba's mom]

morning.

it's Tuesday.

It's my last day of work for 3 weeks

next two days crazy tho...washin, packing, etc....

Have a good day y'all....

life is good....

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Hey Homies! Back at work, settling in my summer intern and looking forward to yoga at lunch...

Barb -- Have a wonderful trip! I know you are going to enjoy every minute! Oh, and let us know if Cat in the Hat is spinning or not -- enquiring minds! My kitty is old (17), he has kidney issues, and the vet now refers to him as "one of my special cases". When the vet starts discussing quality of life, it's never a good sign...as long as he is relatively healthy and very happy, we'll keep him going. He's kind of my first born Until I had ds I didn't realize I was treating Worf like a child. Now he's used to it and he has high expectations for his level of attention.

MJ -- I hope DD recovers quickly! Wisdom teeth extraction hurts...ds is soon going to have to have some teeth removed before he gets braces. He's managed to wiggle one of them out, but I think there are still 3 left.

Tinkertude -- Mice are evil! We had them in our attic and it took more than one visit from the exterminator to get them real gone...and we have a cat! A lazy, spoiled, old fella, but a cat nevertheless...

Vicki -- I am dying to try a frozen butterbeer! It almost can't be as good as I think it is in my mind! I'm still having lunch at Mythos, though. The 3 Broomsticks doesn't look any yummier than that to me! I still have two months to wait...

Mr. Duck -- That's a big pup! I bet he has a lot of love to give!

Lawrence -- I hope you have an incredible trip, and enjoy every minute! You deserve to have the time of your life!

I'm buying our airline tickets today. I'm nervous buying them because I'm afraid as soon as I do something will happen...but I'm still going to go for it!

It's been so long since we did the Disney trip that the kids are starting to worry that they won't like it. I'm a little scared of the strollers--that's the first thing that happened to me in NY. Some lady ran my toe over about 15 minutes into the trip. I looked at her and said, "This ain't Disney, you don't need to run me over."

I'm just looking forward to 9 days of not cooking and being able to eat at plenty of gluten free meals without getting sick or eating the same ol' same ol'.

Barb have a good time.

Maria, the plane tickets feel like such a commitment. That's the scary part of the trip.

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Ok, now we are committed, flying into and out of Tampa for the first time. We usually start/end in Orlando, but we're going to do 2 stays with the SIL. Thank goodness it's the SIL I love! No one wants to spend any time with scary SIL, trust me...Now I have to look into a rental car...I like to space out the planning, 'cause with the Dark Side you don't really need months to get organized to have a good time!

MJ -- I bet the kids will like different things and find new stuff to enjoy. Nine days sounds great -- plenty of time to relax and see all kinds of great stuff. Tren-D in DTD is a great store for your teen DD -- they have some really cool stuff, and Team Mickey is right next door, so both teens can shop simultaneously while you enjoy a hot fudge sundae at Ghirardelli...I'm just sayin' that's what I'd do!

Thanks everyone and we are going to have a great time by ourselves agian this year since our oldest DS is 18 now and decieded to move into a place of his own with his girlfriend ( which DW is still wanting to be mother hen ) and youngest DS wants to stay with his grandmother.
