Two of the 14 yr olds were on a good start to that 60 with 9 a piece. Stupid...stupid....stupid


Thanks Janet for my sunshine fix. Love the color of the ocean.

AWESOME pics to start off with!!! Can't wait to see tons more!!! I've partied there in Miami many a time....brings back great memories of when I was younger (and healthier).

And you came back?! I think that would be the hardest part...absolutely gorgeous!

I was able to put in my contacts and run again this morning. I have today off and I got up later than I intended, so it was warmer than I wanted, but I still did my planned 4M. Tomorrow I'm getting up earlier since I want to do 10 -- gotta get back to my "normal"! I'm still working on whittling down so I slide out of the HP seats! Ok, not likely, but I definitely don't want to be pulled aside for a check. I think I'm safe, but I am so shy, I would be mortified...

add me to the WOHP worry listsports bra is my friend, may pack spanx too

you all melting? it's day five near 100 degrees here. they're talking about the grid being overloaded & rolling blackouts.

i caved & decided not to cook after spending most of day @ eye dr today. thought it was a good idea to schedule 2 appointments back to back, not

not sure i could hang w/big dogs in miami. Hard enough to keep up with the hotel full of venezulaeans (sp) ensconced for the FIFA games...they were a hoot & a half.

Morning

DH now had a tooth pulled yesterday--not enough tooth left to do a root canal He's a bigger baby than my baby with all 4 of her wisdom teeth pulled.

Drove 50 minutes yesterday to see a tractor rodeo in Quaker City, OH. Never did find it, but we found their fair/carnival and it was one of the best little fairs I've been to in a long while.

On the way home, I was behind a tractor trailer when there was a sign that said the lane was ending. Because I was behind the truck and passing a truck, I couldn't see the flashing get over sign. Next thing I know, my life flashed before my eyes. The truck in front of me whipped it over w/no room to spare leaving me with no road and the semi behind him wasn't stopping nor did this stupid guy in a u-haul. When I was able to pass them later, I floored it and laid on my horn for entire time. They slowed down and never did even reach the speed limit. I so wish I had some police lights--they'd have been pulled over and I'd have made a citizens arrest.

I hate highways--I wish they'd go back to trains.

 

[minniejack]

And if any of you go to a festival and see a Bayou Billy stand--the cherry wine is delish. http://www.bayoubilly.com/ $6 for 32 oz of different non-alcoholic root beers and $1 refills for the rest of your life with your mug.

Reaaaallyy good stuff.

ditto! i did cringe when i started adding up the tix/express pass, etc going to renew one of our PAPs for the '1st 3 weekend' deal...almost pays for the renewal.

now, if they'd only release the tour rates. in lieu of express pass (which as im reading it a few sheets to the wind) appears to be $69.99 for a Friday night. thinking it's probably worth another $100 or so a person for tour, just need to sell a kidney to pay for it, if still functioning

mj - add me to the hiway haters club I was glad when jr tenatively ruled out the schools down ur way, dreaded thought of that drive several times a year.

more pics, i kept the wrap balcony (splurge) a secret for months

deck 8, open deck under the peeps below

life is a series of tradeoffs! the cabin attached to balcony was tiny, hard to believe they could fit in the cot for jr

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Well, isn't that a little slice of heaven! Much more fun than driving on the highway!

sea day, 1st time i ever hit on the slots, felt like a high-roller with $200 in my pocket

1st port, Grand Turk; not alot there but diving/snorkeling 'the wall' and margaritaville, quite the partee @ 8:30 am. i bought a tshirt, a piranaha joe one

i was put out that we had several non-swimmers on our excursion that was supposed to snorkle the wall. Since it's a mile deep, operators figured they better redo the itinerary. I cannot believe they threw lifesaving rings on the noobs & told them to hover close to boat oy.

Still nice enough, glad to be there at all. Turned out for the good as my dry snorkle decided to stick & i wasn't able to draw air, probably would've panic'd in deep water.

we had 3 underwater cameras, cheap disposable, cheap vivitar in housing that burns thru non rechargeable batteries & my new olympus (which i let the mr use & he managed to accidently open it & get water in it) hope the warranty will cover it or my Xmas list is set for this year.

and my nephew is now not going to school up your way (he was at Duquesne)
He decided that since his parents are going to be in Texas that he wanted to go to school there and was accepted into Baylor. After he got the acceptance letter, I guess he started getting antsy (scared) and is not sure where to go in Texas--my brother just left the room because he couldn't take it anymore.

Wow: Pittsburgh really got hit today with the storms. I saw that a woman was walking in downtown over one of the grated things on the sidewalks and it freakishly exploded and now she's in the hospital with severe burns. It showed her completely incinerated umbrella on the news--one more reason to not walk over those things.

hope everyone has a good weekend

to Mac; miss you

 

[circelli]

Mac we miss ya here
I hope you are standing tall & hanging tough......I just started singing New Kids On The Block?!?!?

Have a safe and relaxing weekend everyone

 

[keishashadow]

ditto to mac, not the same without her here

mj i live on top of a mountain & my basement had an inch of water (my appliances are on raised platforms thank goodness...lot's of flooding in lower areas...it poured for almost 3 hours straight.

 

[keishashadow]

ur trip is right around the corner im not sure how i'll manage @ disney with no kids

 

[minniejack]

Come on homies. Pics, chatter, anything...I had to go 2 pages to find the SANs thread.

Nothing new here EXCEPT--the John Deere is running!!! Lucky timing for me that my inlaws came just as I was to push mow the front lawn. Bad for me that it finally rained again this morning and it grew it looks like a foot. Will get my workout tonight.

DH finally had a day off yesterday and he bought his father's day present. He NEEDEDa new golf driver. I told him that was a want not a need. He didn't see my point.

Remember the thieves from NYC? Can you believe that one of them showed up at my DD's youth group last night. And this is the self-proclaimed atheist. I've contacted the principal about the trip, so if this persists, I'll be calling him about this, too.

Finally on the scales after about 10 yrs. and I think I need to change my siggie to 15 pounds. I workout, eat next to nothing. I just don't know how it got there. DH says its muscle weight. That's why I'm still married to him.

For all you country music fans:

Jamboree in the Hills is this weekend!!

Trying to snag some free tix. Lineup isn't so great this year. It was so much better before Live Nation snuck in their noses--pushed local boy, Brad Paisley out last year because of a contract dispute.
