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

[Worfiedoodles]

Good Evening, Homies! I'm giving myself a mani/pedi while my guys are out running errands. Had today off from work, but spent it with ds getting his braces on in the morning, and with my dad, getting blinds at Home Depot for him to install in ds's room and our 2nd floor landing. It's back to work tomorrow, and I can't believe how many e-mails my boss has sent with stuff to do. DH left me salmon, grilled veggies and brown rice for dinner, with watermelon for dessert. Can't say he doesn't support my weight loss efforts! But I'm having one of those weeks when I just feel huge...I think I need more fun in my life and less visiting dh's relatives on weekends...that's how the last two went, and it looks like this one may not be any better...on the bright side he knows he owes me bigtime, I'm thinking Wilderness Lodge big time for our January stay. I've never stayed there, so I'm tempted...It's also going to be his first Full marathon, so I want to make sure he's extra comfortable. It's all about his comfort, of course...

mj -- you might actually be eating too little. I know it sounds counterproductive, but it does happen. Try adding extra calories for 3 days next week (not consecutive), and see if it shakes things loose. It helps if the calories are protein rather than cake...

mac -- also missing you. Just not the same without you

Dawnna -- how about singin' some JT? I know he's not a NK, but that's the best I can do

Hope all the vacationing homies are livin' it up!

I think I had the extra calories tonight. Kids were begging for fried green tomatoes and fried pickles. Just had to accommodate them. Oh, so good.

Maria good luck with the braces. My DS might get them off 2 days after we come back from our Disney trip. Would've been so nice to see pearly whites in the pics.

See you all tomorrrow

morning all

mj - is the jamboree still a mud pit? my parents used to make the trip every year to see the old skool legends

maria - bracesu have my sympathy, i still thank middle DS for being only child who loved me enough to have straight teeth

 

[minniejack]

The Jambo usually only becomes a mud pit every couple of years--it's looking like this is the year for it. DH came home with 4 Friday tickets for it, but in the mean time since I hadn't heard from him, I scheduled the kids for a tennis tournament. So we just got to see when they play if we can even go now--might end up making some one else's day now.

On the internet they were taking a poll that asked if parents were bad parents if they took their under 18 aged kids there. I guess I'm a bad parent--took both kids over a few years ago to see Kelly Pickler, Brad Paisley and newbie Taylor Swift and a few others. You just need to stay out of the camp ground area and the back of the festival. Stay closer to the concert.

And I'm still willing to take them even after this happened:
It was a Sunday afternoon and this Willy Nelson wannabe was right beside me when this crusty looking tanned drunk woman came up screaming to him that she'd been looking for him all weekend. Now, Willy and this woman proceeded to switch their bathing suit bottoms right in front of me--yepp, shriveled grapes and all. A younger man with him looked at me and said, "Lady, you don't have to look." I replied, "It's like a train wreck, you can help but look."

(I was in the back of the festival--where the kids are not going)

mj that's quite a visual, my eyes they burn

im not a CW fan (except for johnny cash) so i refused to tag along, they did take my younger brother beginning from time he was in grade school. They never came back with any cool stories like urs or i'd have been sure to attend the following year!

our company pic-i-nic is @ kennywood on Saturday. Only problem is mr will have worked 13 days straight & coming off 6th midnight. I'll bring him a pillow & stick him in the pavillionim nice that way.

I think a lot of people who used to go to see the old Jambo would be shocked to see what it is now. Still good--not the same. Cops everywhere, but more Woodstock atmosphere than anything--cause Willy was mild to what we've seen. That's why I'd never take the kids Sat or Sun--just not safe and I'd never let them leave me once it's dark.

I just told my DH that I'll make a nice widow since he's working himself into an early grave. Even DD wanted to know if her dad was the only one who worked there. 18 hr days...calls all hours of the night...I even went to HIS company picnic w/o him because he worked. I don't know how he's going to handle a ten day vacation at Disney. But, if it's like our last couple of vacations, the mine called him so much, that the trip was basically free because he gets paid 2 hrs work just to answer the phone.

Not quite the same. http://www.jamboreeinthehills.com/ Check out the Redneck run link--now that's some crazy people.

I just saw some of the pics that people posted. I found a pic of some "retired" Hooters girls. If you've never been there--well, you just can't imagine. (And I remember when they called people who went to Uni thugs with chains.)

Used to be people would leave and go get showers in car washes--probably still do.

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Gosh, and I was just thinking about getting tickets to Nickelback...nothing quite like what you guys have around here!

Maria

 

[donaldduck352]

Nickleback concert looks like Sesame Street compared to the Jambo.
And all this time I thought the further south,the crazyier the rednecks. I'm deff was wrong.That is one crazy bunch!!!

I would have a bunch of fun in that race for a campsite,blackeye and all,with a cold one in my hand!!!

from the PBH

Sorry i haven't read....long day, tired and goin to bed.

Who wanted to know if Cat in the Hat was spinnin?

Well, it is...sorta. It spins more mild...not at all crazy like it did. When we got off, niece declared it 'lame'.

With the soft spinning....yeah, guess it is now.

Also, there are blue nets on the sides of the car and a net that covers the laps of the people in the front couch. (guess since that kid went flyin )

They were removing cars and the TM said they were gonna take the nets off because they were having problems with them.

I hope they do, because if I get stuck in front, I'm gonna request the back. I don't want a net laying on my lap.

Hey Barb!

I'm the one who asked about Cat in the Hat...I was hoping I'd convince ds12 to go on it with me. Sounds like it's not worth the battle...

Actually I'm surprised you haven't been to JITH, I think there are more Canadians there than anyone else.

No, I'm not really interested in a net in my lap either. And frankly if it's not spinning much, what's the point? Guess we'll be cruising through Seussville. At this point the only ride we'll do is the High in the Sky Trolley Ride. I like the view!

Today we're taking my dad to L. L. Bean's flagship store in Maine. There's a nice outlet shopping area and Ben & Jerry's, so a good time should be had by all...

My dh is diligently watching for Alice Cooper to come our way. He's seen him over 20 times in concert. Not my cup of tea at all. I think I've been to a grand total of 4 concerts in my life -- Styx twice, Def Leppard, and BareNaked Ladies. I am clearly not rowdy enough for this bunch!

My dh asked me if I wanted him to call the psycho SIL and ask her if she wants to meet us for lunch today. I literally said to him I'd had about enough of his family. Seriously, I don't think I can take them 3 weeks in a row...and I'm sort of stunned he thought it was a good idea. Did he forget she can't stand me, and I find her a total beyotch?! Of course, he ignores virtually every word that comes out of her mouth. It's a sound strategy!
