Something About Nothing..........# 9

[tinydancer09]

Oh Man, I disappeared again! haha Replies to ohh.. page 168!

Tinker-tude- Finals went... well enough! Lets just say a few weren't so pretty but I made at least B's in everything! Bleh I'm so over this semester...

macraven Yeah I'm not too worried about BMG tickets. We got left side and we're in the middle of the isle. We'll deal with whatever we got! haha And I can't say that I'm too glad about getting ed-you-macated. My brain is soo gone right now it's not even funny. I forgot to put sugar in my sweet tea then couldnt figure out why it tasted so watery But I know it's for the best and I will be glad I have it sometime.

And yes, I'm having a blast on our trip... We've shopped so much! I NEVER shop when we go to theme parks! =)



I think thats everyone... sorry if I missed you. Like I said, the brain, it not working too well. I was trying to talk to someone online the other day and he ended up calling me Yoda because everything was back-(butt)-wards!

Anywho! I'm currently in orlando for the girls gettaway trip! We did Magic Kingdom Saturday, MGM today, and will do IOA tomorrow... possibly IOA and US... we're not sure yet. Cannot wait to see Harry Potter again! Hope to get to ride Jaws one last time. We'll be doing BMG that night. woohoooo! So excited

Although, coming here RIGHT after finals (literally I got done taking a final at 11 AM friday and left for orlando at 1.... and thats only because of a plumbing issue! OH THE PLUMBING! nother story for nother time.) I was exhausted on the trip down and we all know how tiring these vacations can be. Stayed at MK til midnight Saturday- LOVE MK at night! Close out MGM minus extra magic hours tonight. Tomorrow we're getting up to be at IOA near park open (we hope). So I'm assuming that the TAS(total amount of sleep) that I will have received from last tuesday to this tuesday will be about 32 hours. When it should be about 64 if I sleep 8 hours a night and I prefer 9! but I'm having fun dangit.

Good luck Robbie...here's some pixie/mummy dust for you, if you need any regular dust just come to my house, I can supply all you need as I just put up sheetrock and live on a dirt road.

Hey all - sorry to neglect you guys all the time! Somehow I'm just not that motivated to read Disney (or Uni) stuff when I don't have a trip planned any time in the next decade! But I do follow along, even if I don't comment!

@ Janet - no snow yet other than a surprise 4" or so more than a month ago that just served as a wakeup call to dig the ice scraper out, find the snow shovels and tune up the snowblower. Cold but nothing since then which I'm more than fine with!

One big news update is that Eric (youngest DS) got his acceptance to Caltech on Saturday! Woo hoo! Very selective small engineering school - last year's entering class was only 240 - about half his HS class size. Even more exciting because he's applying as a junior (will skip his senior year). Out in Pasadena so we'll be planning a trip out there to visit the college - unfortunately looks though like it'll be Easter week. Not the best time for Disneyland. Although maybe my buddy Andy will have some connections for me by then! Good luck on the interview! Anyway, keeping fingers crossed on MIT as well - results come out next weekend on that.

Looking forward to the holidays and having the whole family (DH and the 3 guys) all together under one roof for almost 48 hours! More than we got over Thanksgiving (0) and we will be together in bursts for parts of it so should be a good time, but a LOT of driving (5 trips to the Milwaukee airport - 2 hours away - in a 3 week period!), plus heading to Indy and Detroit. Hoping the weather holds.

Thinking of Donald and Lori as I put their ornaments on the tree - why don't we do an exchange any more? Yeah, I know, too little too late in thinking of these things! Everyone have a great holiday!

hi marcie.....
always good to see youse here.


it seems like i have watched your boys grow up.
congrats on the youngest all set for school!

i know you are a proud momma!


i hope andy gets the DL job.
he'll be very happy working there.

the reason we haven't done repeats on the christmas ornaments is:

no one brought it up anymore.

it was fun for the years we did it.
hopefully if others want to do it, it can be done for '12.

if you have any runs to MKE this week, let me know.

i have to go there twice this week, tomorrow night and thursday night.

we could sit in the cell phone parking section and yak waiting for a plane to arrive.


you'll enjoy christmas this year since all of youse will be together.
that is nice!

Wow! Congrats to the kiddo and his proud mommy! He has his pick of great schools to go to.

That's a lot of driving. If you love chatting with the fam on road trips, no problem. DH and I love the drive just as much as the actual trips when we go away. We never fly anymore because it's more relaxing to just drive everywhere.

Can't wait to hear! Pixie dust, mummy dust, and Scooby dander for a great time and a great decision.

Congrats on the trip AND the 20 years! The 10 y/o will get over it as soon as he realizes he might be able to get away with more while you're gone.

Happy anniversary and enjoy your time without the kids...you are not mean, you deserve some alone time after 20 years of marriage, congrats.

I went to the eye doctor yesterday for some much needed glasses and/or contacts since I've been wearing my old scratched up pair after my newest glasses got stepped on by an unknown person (no one at my house will admit to the crime)The Doctor said my blurry vision wasn't due to the glasses as I had thought, I have cataracts in both eyes and need surgery The good news is that this will probably correct my vision so that I may not even need glasses...the bad news is that my insurance will not pay for all of it Oh well, that's what credit cards are for...so I better enjoy this trip because it will be my last for awhile what with the surgery expense and having to take time off from work for the surgery that will use up all my vacation days.

Whatever happens, I'm gonna celebrate New Year's Eve in Orlando with my family so things are looking up.

Not mean at all cause me and DW have been going alone for the past few years cause oldest DS is 20 and does his own thing now and youngest DS is 15 and says he doesn't want to go that is until its too late after I book everything and then I tell him its too late plus DW loves the fact we celebrate our anniversary,birthdays and christmas presents we don't give each other or atleast I don't get
