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

I forgot to say anything about our quick trip to Legoland a week ago.

It was AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Great place especially for younger kids, but so much fun for parents, too. I got a nice sunburn the first day when I forgot to use sunscreen. Now I'm peeling and look rather leprous.


We'll be visiting again in November when we go to the Ridgeback Specialty and Universal. I'm so excited about the Universal days I'm already in overplanning mode. The rest of the trip? WHATEVER!!!!!



.

do you need any homie help with your darkside portion of the vacation.

youse will get a lot of it from the homies here!




leprous is fashionable.

Was a busy day so this is the first chance I've had to pop on to give everyone an update on the United refund saga.

This morning when I came downstairs (hubby had already left for court), there was a message on the office line from United Airlines apologizing profusely for the misunderstanding and to let us know that our refund for the seat upgrade would be processed immediately ... ah the power of legal letterhead!!!

... it also probably didn't hurt that I found the names and emails for the Director of Customer Care and the Managing Director of Customer Solutions and sent them a copy of the letter we faxed to United Refunds

so what you are saying is i don't have the job to call and biotch them out?
dang it bonny, you take away all my fun.....


but, congrats on being victorius on the refund and apology!

Oh, and our weather is also supposed to be 70's this week - March in Green Bay - I'll take it!

I was watching WGN (Chicago) last night and they had a weather report - heading on the screen was HEAT WAVE and they were talking about "bracing" for record high temperatures! Really, you have to "brace" for 70's/lower 80's?

hopefully that will happen for us.

i always have to take the temps in chgo and milwaukee to determine what our temps will be. we usually are between those two city temps.

and subtract a few degrees since i am about a 1.5 miles from lake michigan.
wind always blows cold from there to my dump.

we hit 64-5 today!

Hi everyone! Our big news here was that Saturday Eric found out he received one of the top scholarships to Purdue - worth $128,000 plus access to an academic enrichment fund worth another $10,000 for "university-approved educational activities"!!! Making the decisions tougher and tougher. He turned down Michigan so now we're just waiting on Financial Aid packages from MIT and Caltech and visiting both next month.

Of course this is the same kid that I got a text from about an hour ago. He takes classes at our local college before heading to HS in the mornings. Today's said "Thanks for reminding me that it was spring break week at the college!" Not sure how I was supposed to know that and you'd think it might be in his syllabus or that they might have mentioned it last week? Somehow I'm not sure he's ready to live in the "wild" next year!

CONGRATULATIONS !!!

Marquibiri

Looks like the extended forecast for my area is heat and lots of severe weather this spring. Tomorrow is supposed to be 81, Thursday is supposed to be hot and rainy. Here come the tornadoes....

That's great news!!!!! Gotta love the teenage mentality. They are responsible for all their own good qualities, and mom is responsible for everything else.

I've gotten so much help already from the homies when they talk about their great trips. I'm planning to run the trip plans by all of you before we go to get input. I know exactly where to take all my questions, my dear SANs peeps! Mac, you are the #1 source of info on everything.

We're taking two close friends for their first time, so I want to make sure we hit all the good stuff at the best times. Crowds should be low since we're going before Thanksgiving week, and we're staying onsite three nights. The new Blue Man Group show is definitely on the list, and the boys are both old enough now to really enjoy it.

We haven't been to UO/IoA since they finished WWOHP (we were peeking at construction last time), so there will be plenty of new stuff for all of us to see and do.


Question #1: What's the very best place for a seafood fan?

How lovely

They promised us it would be warmer than Greece here this week........not a blidding chance.......High of 50 today and it`s to get colder and rainy over the weekend!!!!!! I can`t wait for global warming to actually exist!!!!

MR MH........I would love to go on that ride....it looks amazing!!!!


Feeling very virtuous.........walked nearly 30 miles in a week (treadmill)....lost 10lb in 2 weeks.......and still feeling very motivated......I know.......it`s only been 2 weeks but it doesn`t take much to knock me off the diet path.

Using myfitnesspal alongside excercising.

Alcatraz started here last week, and we got Touch with Kiefer next week to look forward to. My tivo is in overdrive at the moment.

Should be in bed as I`m up at 1am for free practice for F1 Australian Grand Prix.......I`m sure I was a racing driver in another life Told DS he is not getting up as he has college early tomorrow!!! I`m not popular with that decision

 

[macraven]

i'm still waiting for spring weather to start.

we hit a windy 70 before noon and then it went downhill fast.

was 63 at 2:30.........

chicago hit 80 at the airport but that is west of the city....

it's now 45 and i want it as warm as Mr Mad in St Louie has.........




Carole, congrates on the weight lose.
lose some for me while you are at it.

 

[schumigirl]

I`m up!!!!

It`s 5.25am......very early for me. Waiting for qualifying to start in the GP.

DS and I are sat like zombies, DH still in bed. Silly thing is we have set the whole season of practice qualifying and the races to record on Tivo.......but it`s not the same not live.

I may have a snooze this afternoon
