i signed up for a ladies self defense class which starts today.

don't ask why, long story.


it's only 4 sessions. if i pass without hurting myself, i'll sign up for the intermediate class in august.



it is cool here today. i doubt it will hit 70 today.

I would rather look like carol brady than that {this is not a joke} woman in the building the other week with a BEEHIVE HAIRDOO.......


it was a cross between Jackie Kennedy and a real beehive....

i aint kidding......

nearly dropped my iced dunkin donuts coffee...

don't drop the coffee unless you have a straw with you......

gemmapixie - Haven't read it yet...don't take it to heart, insecure people feel the need to belittle someone/anyone to make themselves feel better - all the easier to be a bigot and dump on an entire group of folks who are slightly different (whether their preferences, ethnicticity, etc.)...consider the source.

That said, i've found it good strategy to get behind a stroller @ rope drop - think cowcatcher on a train...you chug right along. Sort of like drafting on the highway behind a trucker.

ypenny - hope bee-hives don't come back into favor after Hairspray hits the theaters.

Hi there, kiddos!

I haven't slept well all week. Mike and I are on opposite schedules, which wreaks havoc on my sleeping patterns. Should get much better on Friday though .. only 2 more days!

Tracie, book that August trip yet?! I always ask Mike if he's ever regretted a vacation. I ask that because I know the answer is always "no" which makes him agree to anything I want! Although he doesn't know how much we're paying for our Disney cruise in May .... I am having buyer's remorse myself, but the deposit is nonrefundable and I am not losing $1000. (yes, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Never sign up for another cruise while onboard a current one and you've had one too many DoDs.)

Have fun at the self-defense class, mac. Maybe you can teach me some moves in October?

Barb, enjoying your trippie!

Rose, how is hubby's job search going?

DM, have to go read your TX trippie too.

Who else? What's new except for Dagny's Ma Brady haircut?

Don't you all think Amy Winehouse is pretty with her major beehive?? lol

See, I would have commented but it was a very popular TR- 49 pages. And he commented twice on universal in seperate posts in the TR and canadians- well he commented on them quite a bit actually. Plus the TR was finished. Anyway if you still want the link it's: http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1382199

Other than the little jabs, its a fantastic TR, but it was ruined for me!

There are about 40 pages in that thread. Even standing up for my country isn't worth wasting my time reading all that!

Upon further investigation, it appears that the Canada jabs were for a fellow Canadian poster who the OP likes to torment. It was all in good fun.

Ohhhh Damo dont give away any surprises! Im going to see it on Monday VIP style!! so excited!! Oh and when does the book comes out in America?? It's realised on 21st July here and all the book shops are opening at midnight on the 20th to allow people to buy the books! Guess where I will be at midnight on friday night!!

That is exactly what is happening here too. My son and husband will be down in Florida that night, so they will have to find a bookstore somewhere that is open at midnight since my son won't want to wait. I'm just going to wait until the morning, up here in Canada, to go get my copy.

 

[bubba's mom]

damo....you have GOT to PM me to let me know if he lives or dies

Alison.....pictures please?

mac....you go girl!!! self defense is considered exercise (but still go to curves)...if you're unclear about something let me know, DS is a first degree black belt (training for 2nd degree)...he'll help you out
thanks for the help on my questions for my friend....hope your DS is feelin' better....lotsa mummy dust your way still (and wth, a little pixie too.... can use all the dust you can get there!)

Jodie....would you believe I am going to miss you again in May??? OUR Disney cruise leaves June 29th...(see sig)

PLEASE do NOT let the beehive come back I'm okay with mohawks tho (did one yesterday)

Well, my son has a roller hockey tournament in Ft. Myers and someone has to stay home to take care of our dogs. Our one dog is almost 16 years old and is deaf and blind. Our other dog is 9 and needs drops in her eyes every six hours or so. If I go and my husband stays home, he will go to work and the dogs will be alone. So, I am staying home and he is going.

Usually my parents come and take care of the dogs while we go on vacation but since we are going on a family vacation in August to California, I didn't want to ask them again to dogsit for a week in July.

That's the story! So, I will be home and they will be in Naples for a week.

If Harry dies, I will not be a happy person! There will be a lot of very upset people if he gets knocked off.

i don't even like harry.
i won't be upset either way.


i think i will need a translator to explain it all to me when they open the potter section in universal.....



but i'll take notes when you all chatter about the harry movie.
then i'll know what building means what when it is at ioa.

 

[GemmaPixie]

I fancy the twins!! my friend has met all the actors because in the 1st and 2nd movies (when they had a different director than they do now) she was at the school that they filmed in! How cool is that!

 

[bubba's mom]

i'm Potter stupid too mac....never read a book OR seen a movie.....i'll be just as clueless in the new land.....

 

[keishashadow]

HP this weekend w/DH working OT to pay off last trip before the bill comes due.

Supposed to see Transformers tonight, DS running slow...hope i haven't been stood up.

 

[t-and-a]

Morning all!
I didn't get on here yesterday....such a busy life!

Barb, no pics yet, it's too messy right now! It's rough trying to live here and re-model at the same time with a 10 year old DS, a 13 year old DS and a DH! DH and I have lined our closets with cedar and built a neat shelf unit in each of them.

Mac, I didn't get time to read that thread, but if I had, I would have been right behind you!

All of you who have not seen a Harry Potter movie....you homies seriously need to at least rent the first 4! That way you will have an understanding of the new stuff at IOA when it gets there.

Damo, it's good to hear that you liked this one so much! My whole family is looking forward to it. We will go see the latest HP movie as soon as our family's schedule gets so we can. DH is working days this week, but is only off on Sunday and then has to go in on nights (7 PM - 7 AM) on Monday. I told him we really need to work on the house Sunday afternoon, but who knows, we might sneak off to watch it. The only thing is that we live in a small town (Population is less than 11,000) and we have to drive 30 miles to see any movies! It will probably be the week after next when we get to see it. Maybe by that time, the theater won't be so full too!

I hope beehives don't come back either!!! There's a lady here in town that wore one up until about a year or two ago and she still has really BIG hair! Didn't I see that In that Hairspray movie, John Travolta dresses as a woman??? YUCK!

Well, I'm off to work in just a few minutes. You gals have a good day!

Morning homes!

Staying home today with the boy....he don't feel well...but things are good.

Alison, I would wait to see HP too...a more empty theater is always better in my opinion. When we go to the movies at my DFIL's on vacation the first week of July in Fla., the theater is always empty. This year there was only a lady and her son there! We went in, looked around and said, "where we gonna sit?" She laughed....but, that's my DH's humor. There were only 2 or 3 other parties in there w/ us....and of course at the end of my row (i was in the middle of the row) some stupid woman did NOT turn her phone off like she was asked to (guess how I know that!) AND her sleeping infant woke up and decided to babble. Now, it's better than screaming, but it was still VERY distracting. I could hear her saying "sshhh"...now, lady! Do you REALLY think your 9mth old understands "sshh"?? I was SO close to getting up outta my seat.....i shot her dirty looks and she knew it!
Sorry to get sidetracked....but, just my experience the once a year we go, the more empty a theater, the quieter it is!

oh and ........

Day 2 of TR is up!!!!!

okay...off to eat and do some stuff....chek ya's l8r homes......

Good day to everyone....tlinus and I have GREAT weather here today! Low 80's and no humidity and sun!!!!!
