Team Focker Watch Chat Part 5.5: The Less-Cursed Version

[englishrose47]

Rosie, I love your new avatar!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Good night, all, I'm heading for bed. I kind of want to stay up and watch tennis, but it would be smarter to get some sleep.

Sleep well!

Thank you I love it too Thanks Kat!

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Oh and...

Welcome to the SWAMP Miami... No one gets out alive!!!

Heh heh. That was for Z. LY!

GO GATORS!!!!

Oh yeah!! Well.... we have a rookie team!! Just wait 'til next year!




The better team won.

This post is just for Z...

SQUISH THE FISH​

Sorry, you know I had to.

I still love ya Z!

What is this, pick on Z weekend?

I'll say what I said to V. We're a rookie team with the Jets ex-QB!


J/K

We suck, but I still love my Dolphins and of course I gotta root for my alma mater.

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Good morning, girls!
Right when I thought I could chat, I have to run B to get a bracket that came loose removed. So, I'll be back soon! Don't have too much fun without me.

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Look, I know it's been about 2 months...but I'm going to update my TR tonight. Just saying....

Oh thank goodness I'm not the only one that has monthly updates! Maybe I'll update mine. :

My anxiousness is back tonight. No idea what brought it on so I am just sitting here feeling sorry for myself. I need to get a life.

Thanks Jen I just feel like crying sometimes, I know things will work out eventually it's just that I always thought by this point in my life I would be settled into a career and be living the fabulous life with great friends and a great guy. Just wish life was easier sometimes, don't we all though.

Awwww Lessa
Hey I'm 29, been graduated for 3 years now and am A) still working at the same job I was at 8 years ago B) Still living with my parent C) Still act like a kid whilst my friends get married and have kids and D) Just now at 29 have a somewhat real relationship. I thought by now I'd at least be close to being married, with a real job thanks to my expensive degree and getting ready to have kids and I'm nowhere near any of that.

Don't stress girl, because there's nothing but good times ahead. Everyone just has different paths and we have to live them the way we want to live them and the best way we know how.

I wasn'tgoing to tell but I have some sad news my 16yr old cat died today ! They called me at work. DSIL took him out to bury him by some water he thought that would be nice !!I'm so sad but he was old and he died at home !

Oh Rosie!

I've only ended up that intoxicated a few times in my life. In high school, we took a trip down to Mexico. They had a "waitress" dressed in chacha clothes and a sombrero...and you had to take shots from her "cleavage" area. don't ask...I don't usually do stuff like that. Well, let's just say...HIS cleavage wasn't real.

Tequila is BAAAAAAAAD!

The Loud Children and Jim:

Awwwww look at all the Loud Children! Still can't see Jim too well.
Glad you're ok S'late!

Well, I am a football widow again and not even married My b/f is immersed in fantasy football land right now making sure he has his teams set up the way he wants them . He is in front of the computer clicking away with his Peyton Manning jersey on

Totally understand your b/f. I am the only female in my brother's Fantasy Football League. I lurrrve me some football and am so happy it's back!

I am looking at restaurant selections for next August

Here are the places we are considering...
Rainforest Cafe at AK
50's Prime Time
Mama Melrose's
TOny's Town Square
Chef Mickey's
Kona Cafe (I am getting Tonga Toast some day)

RFC: I agree w/ Mel, we have some here and I've eaten at them and if you go to one you go to all. So
50's: I'm personally afraid of eating there. I've heard what the wait staff do and I'm too chicken to try it out.
Mama Melrose: We only did it to get into Fantasmic. It was just ok.
Tony's: Read too many bad reviews on the DIS to try it.
Chef Mickey's: Was good for buffet & character. We had a late seating and the food was a little cold, but the desserts were yummy.
Kona: Never been for breakfast, but our Linner ADR in August was very very good!

OK, who has stayed at ASMo? MrsK, didn't you stay there? What buildings are considered the preferred?

The Fantasia, Dalmation and Toy Story buildings, I think they were the ones closest to the Main building. We were in the Mighty Ducks since I had used my AP rate and they put the APers alllllll the way at the end with parking lot view.

Ooooh Movies!!

We watched a few movies over the past few days...
Dirty Love - turned it off halfway through
Shadow of the Vampire- turned it off halfway through
In the land of Woman- good movie!!!
Waitress- cute flick
Devil Wears Prada - love it!
Borat - I can't believe I sat through it
Harry Potter 5 -I have seen it several times & LOVE it.

I am now spending the evening loading pictures onto photobucket. It is so hard deciding which pictures to not post in the report! That is the one problema with taking so many pictures.

Or you can do what Scott does and post them all.


Lori: The kiddos look so cute in their Steelers gear.

Woody - and I know he didn't mean to upset me as much as he did - called out from the table, "Mom? You know? When you're at home all you do is be on the computer, watch TV and sleep."

I think it hit me as the classic "no one appreciates how much I do" kind of comment. I started listing, in a quiet but firm voice, all the other stuff I do: cooking, laundry, cleaning, baths, shopping, etc. and my voice got shakier and shakier and I started to cry.

Awww CE

I start a year of juggling two intensive classes per semester tomorrow. On top of a full-time job and raising Leo.
Which means I may not be around much again... but I'll check in when I can and I'll try to stay up-to-date on TRs!

Good Luck V! We'll miss you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So work wasn't too bad, although they threw us out in the hallway in the middle of the night to wax the new floors they put in.

Just got caught up, might finish reading Eclipse (finally) and watch a movie from Netflix.

Ike doesn't seem like he's hitting us, he moved further south and is lingering over Cuba. We'll probably get some rain tonight from the outer bands, but that's it. Hopefully he doesn't turn too much East after that, he seems to be losing some steam, but still pretty strong.

Later guys!

Yeah but I like to actually have more to my reports than pictures. I guess I could always do multi-post updates. Stupid Dis and its 25 images per post rule.

Just got caught up, might finish reading Eclipse (finally) and watch a movie from Netflix.

Then you will just have to get through the even longer Breaking Dawn.

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Thanks for the pep talk Z.

No prob, I have to give myself a pep talk often and my friend Yani is always giving them to me too.

I guess I could always do multi-post updates. Stupid Dis and its 25 images per post rule.

Yeah for my Food and Wine part of the TR I was actually counting my pictures to make sure. It really limits me on smiley use though.

Then you will just have to get through the even longer Breaking Dawn.

OMG don't even go there. I think I'm taking a break after Eclipse and reading something else. Her writing sorta irritates me because she tends to go on for pages about one thing and I'm like "Ok I got it, move on." but I have to read every word in case I miss something. And Bella can be so self deprecating that it makes me want to slap her upside the head sometimes. But I'm invested and I NEED to know how they end.

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Oh and Thank you everyone for the congrats on the promotion.
I have to go in sometime this week to meet with my supervisor and manager to make it official. They're going to regret giving me so much power! Muahahahahahaha

 

[jcc0621]

Good morning!

Morning

Morning Less!

Morning

Am I first this morning?!

Nope

My plan is to try to at least check in each morning when I get on teh computer at work. Don't want to miss anything important!

Shhh, we won't tell

CE - I just had to lay my parental duties out to Leo this morning. He made me late for work AGAIN because he jsut doesn't seem to give a hoot about being reayd to leave on time. I may or may not have launched into a lengthy tirade about just what my job pays for and told him from now on he'd be feeling teh consequences of my being late as much as I do.

Good morning, girls!
Right when I thought I could chat, I have to run B to get a bracket that came loose removed. So, I'll be back soon! Don't have too much fun without me.

See you later

I didn't meet Jim until I was 29 either Z. I never wanted to get married or have kids when I was younger

Ooooh Movies!!

Did you like it? How were the busses?

==========================================================

Well, today was Jimmy's first day of school and after a 20 minute crying jag about how he didn't want to go he got dressed had breakfast and off we went. We got there a couple of minutes early and by the time we left to come home he told me he wasn't nervous anymore and he liked school. We'll see how long this lasts

Here a couple of pictures

Doesn't he look thrilled

Now he's happy

Showing off his Batman Backpack!

In front of the school

 

[sorul82?]

Awwwww look at all the Loud Children! Still can't see Jim too well.
Glad you're ok S'late!

Thanks! We had to use my phone to take the picture....no time to grab the camera when stalking.

I lurrrve me some football and am so happy it's back!

Me too! Did you see the end of the Panthers game?

The Fantasia, Dalmation and Toy Story buildings, I think they were the ones closest to the Main building. We were in the Mighty Ducks since I had used my AP rate and they put the APers alllllll the way at the end with parking lot view.

Were you close enough to music to walk over to their bus stop?

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Did you like it? How were the busses?

It was fine, we only stayed 3 days and it worked perfect for that. Typical Value resort (I have pics in my TR - the October trip). The room layout is exactly like POP but with different decor. The resort itself is a little smaller than POP and it's food court isn't as big, but the food selection is basically the same (minus the frozen coke).
Only used the buses once to go to MNSSHP at 4pm and we didn't wait too long which was good and then coming back the bus wasn't too bad, but it was a "party" night so it was less full than it normally would be. It does share the buses with Music and Sports, but I believe Movies is the last stop.

The only negative that happened was the original room we were assigned had a leak in the ceiling, but when I called to report it they immediately changed our room no problem, no waiting.

True.

Me too! Did you see the end of the Panthers game?

No . I missed all the games yesterday because I was sleeping and then working. I usually wake up to watch the Dolphins game, but I figured they'd lose so I decided to sleep. I'll watch tonights game for sure and I did catch some highlights on ESPN, but they didn't show the Panthers one.

Were you close enough to music to walk over to their bus stop?

We were alllllllll the way at the end in Mighty Ducks.

See the red circles????

Jimmy is a cutie Janet!

THanks Z. I'm not booking anything yet, just looking at all of my options. I remember the leak

Awwwww. Love his Batman backpack

Thanks Z

Thanks Lessa

 

[askelton]

V, good luck on your classes.

CE, Mitch says the same thing to me at times and you're right .
I did watch the match. Although the one between Serena and J. Jankovic was pretty good!
I don't know who was wearing the Colts uniforms yesterday.

Rosie, I like your avatar!

Z, yea power!

Lessa,

Janet, glad Jimmy enjoyed school!

G-Luv, can your printer be fixed? If you get a new one let me know what you get because I need one too.

 

[englishrose47]

Off to the dentist for me and then later to take Steph !! See what free time I have in between !!

Awww, I hope so too! He is a cutie!

Must be the day - I'm taking Leo this afternoon, too!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, I'm back. Already. Work sucks and I needed a visit to my Happy Place.

 

[1Princess1Prince2006]

Lori that picture is adorable. What a great idea to take a pic every year on first game day!!

AWW, how cute

Lori, cute pictures of the children.

Lori--love the Steeler pics! I should fine the one of Ab when she was 1 year old dressed up in Miami Dolphins wear---she was chubby and bald and everyone said "wow--he's gonna be a heckova football player!"

Lori - cute pictures of the kids in all their Steelers glory.

Lori, cute kid pics!!! Sweet little things!

How stinkin' cute are they!!!

Lori, they're adorable!

Lori: The kiddos look so cute in their Steelers gear.

Thanks everyone for the pic love!

 

[Goofyluver]

In front of the school

I"m glad he's doing okay now!!!

And the uniforms...they are so cute! Around here they are much more stuffy.

G-Luv, can your printer be fixed? If you get a new one let me know what you get because I need one too.

I'm going to give that a big fat no. I tried it again last night and it made a burning smell and keps up it's "grinding" noise. WTHeck I did...I have no idea.

Yes, I'm back. Already. Work sucks and I needed a visit to my Happy Place.

 

[Goofyluver]

What's up with everyone today???

all around!!!

I have a few clients later this afternoon. We have to pack up and get ready to leave again for Albuquerque. Jon's appointment (pulmonologist) is on Wednesday. I"m not sure if I'm leaving tomorrow or Wed. We'll see.

Other than that...not mucho!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day! Safe, happy, and healthy!

 

[1Princess1Prince2006]

We had a good time at the game! A little hot for here, but Tech won so that makes up for a lot. BA and I went to watch them fire the cannon which was pretty cool (and loud....should of taken out my hearing aid!)
And we did the 3rd quarter Hokie Pokey of course!

Yay Tech! I wanted to go to school there when I was in high school. Somehow I ended up in NY. LOL (Bad choice there because winters were HARSH!)

Rafael Nadal lost in the US Open so I won't get to see this tomorrow.

DROOL! Don't they have a little smiley guy for that???

Hello everyone!

Yesterday and today were pretty good, SD-wise.

That's good news! Just keep what your doing and keep thining one day at a time. Hope he has a good day in school today!

It's Grandparent's Day...so I made my dad dinner. He picked Ziti as his grandpa's meal! It was delish. But, I have most of left over. Anyone want some ziti???

ALSO...I got a ding for Albuquerque to Burbank today. For a time when I would like to take a quick Disney trip. Where the heck is Burbank? And can I get to Disney from Burbank??

Aren't you nice thinking about Grandparent's Day. I did nothing for my dad. Of course he and his girlfriend went to the Steelers game and we didn't see him at all, but that's his loss not mine.

And baked ziti sounds really good! Lindsey's b-day is New Year's Eve and I was thinking about starting to plan things out for it now and was wanting to make ziti for it. Mind sharing the recipie?

And I think Burbank is close to Disneyland. I believe it's actually closer to it than LAX is, but it might be another one (John Wayne comes to mind) that's close as well. Where's T when you need her?

I start a year of juggling two intensive classes per semester tomorrow. On top of a full-time job and raising Leo.
Which means I may not be around much again... but I'll check in when I can and I'll try to stay up-to-date on TRs!

Good Luck V!

Well... I had the neighbor kids (who played ALL afternoon, it was nice) head home at 5:00. Buzz & Woody got to pick their fave dinners for something quick, and I wanted to wait to eat until after they were in bed, so once I got them settled, I sat down at the computer to, admittedly, play some computer games.

Woody - and I know he didn't mean to upset me as much as he did - called out from the table, "Mom? You know? When you're at home all you do is be on the computer, watch TV and sleep."

I think it hit me as the classic "no one appreciates how much I do" kind of comment. I started listing, in a quiet but firm voice, all the other stuff I do: cooking, laundry, cleaning, baths, shopping, etc. and my voice got shakier and shakier and I started to cry.

Of course, that made him start wailing. You know, he's six. He kept trying to defend what he'd said, saying he didn't know it was mean. I said I knew that, but he needs to think before he speaks, that it really hurt my feelings, etc.

He just caught me at a low point, and now I feel awful about coming down so hard on him. But darn it, it also DOESN'T hurt him to realize how much I do, right? So I guess at the least, he probably won't be saying that again any time soon.

Sigh.
I hope everyone else is having a better night.

CE

I've been there with my DD and it's hard to explain to them now but I think they'll get it one day.

Fourth...I was roped into watching the race with Jon. I won't give anything away. But...I forgot to tell you guys...

When Jon and I were driving back from Abq. on Monday, we travelled on I-40 with all of the racing semis and chase trucks. It was awesome. And we pulled into a rest-stop after seeing several of the driver's semis parked. And we got to take pics with the cars...and OMG!!! Jon almost DIED!!! He kept screaming things like:

"MOOOOOM! There's Jimmy's truck!!!"

Or:

"AAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!"

First, what kind of race is this because it actually sounds really cool. Is it a relaity like show?

And second...that is really cool!

Good evening all. Hope everyone has a good week and a round of for all. I have to go now and pay my utility bill. It was due on Friday and I just plane forgot to take it in. Like I said it has been a busy and hectic week. At least Nana and I got the house cleaned up today. I also broke down and got Bug some night time pull up type under pants. He is not wetting very often but I just do not have time to be washing extra bedding.

Yay on getting the house clean and I soooooo am right there with ya on the pull ups. My DD wore them to bed until she was almost 4 and my DS just got potty trained and wants to wear underwear to bed but I keep telling him no. I do not want to have to change sheets in the middle of the night so he'll be wearing them a little longer.

Well, fartbucket!

I think my copier/scanner just went out. It's not good if it starts clanging loudly, grinding, and shaking, right???

Uh no...I don't think that would be a good thing.

CE - I just had to lay my parental duties out to Leo this morning. He made me late for work AGAIN because he jsut doesn't seem to give a hoot about being reayd to leave on time.

V! Hope your days get better!

Ike doesn't seem like he's hitting us, he moved further south and is lingering over Cuba. We'll probably get some rain tonight from the outer bands, but that's it. Hopefully he doesn't turn too much East after that, he seems to be losing some steam, but still pretty strong.

Later guys!

Stay safe Z!
