Team Focker Watch Chat - the 10th anniversary thread!

[ncsjodi]

Sure, rub it in...

Yeah, but we start school again on August 12th, so when everyone is back in WDW with free dining, we'll be in school already.

I woke up with that headache, still. I think it's the weather - seems to be in the sinusi. But, we woke up yesterday morning to gorgeous, sunny weather. Then it clouded up and rained all afternoon/night. Now it's beautiful and sunny again this morning, but the Weather Channel 12-hour thing claims that it should be raining right now, and will be all day.

Anyway, it's wreaking havoc with my head.

And it's supposed to be 72 tomorrow - but 87 on Saturday! I live in NH, people. It's April! WTH???

And of course, we don't have central AC, and of course D's dad and stepmom are coming when the house will be miserable on Sunday, when it will merely be 86... Last year, when we were in France and they stayed with the kids, it got up over 90, and the AC wasn't in, because it was May and hadn't been above 70 when we left.

I totally understand, CE. We've had the weird back-and-forth weather this week as well. I think all of the rain has finally left us (and gone to you, obviously). We're looking at 70s and 80s and sun for the next four or five days too. I can hardly wait to get outside and do some work in my flower beds.

 

[PrincessV]

Hey, guess what? Boat pictures! (Finally...)

Yay! Looks like FUN!

V has horse rash.

NO, no rash - just pulled muscles!

My brother's birthday is tomorrow. I sent him a card with some scratch-off lottery tickets in it. He invited us to join him and his friends on Sat for bar hopping. He is not starting until 8 PM. We might skip it. Just too late to get started and Doug is taking his Chemo starting tonight. He can't eat or drink anything 2 hours before he takes it. I hope my bro doesn't take it the wrong way. I may see if he is going out to eat before that. I'd rather do that with him and his girlfriend.

I'm sure he'll understand. Sending good wishes for Doug!

ANd that makes three votes V

Wait till you see the next installment on my PTR - it's NUTS!

Spoke to my grandma today, apparently my great aunt (her sis) isn't doing very well.

I'm sorry Kat.

What a cutie!

Mini Rant:

Friends change, grow apart, come back...

I hope I'm not being too preachy, but this struck a chord for me.

CE took the words out of my mouth! I'm 38 and totally agree. And I'll add that you'll find over the years that different friends fill different needs, and some are only meant to be there a short time while others are long-term. My girlfriends from 6th grade will always be like family to me, but they aren't the friends to whom I run when life throws a wrench at me; and some of the friends to whom I do run I know won't be close when I'm an old lady.

Morning all!

I'm Up too!!

Hi Jodi! Hi Rosie!

And it's supposed to be 72 tomorrow - but 87 on Saturday! I live in NH, people. It's April! WTH???

No flipping way?! That's the forecast HERE!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Right.

So I got on the treadmill last night and quickly discovered something. Did you know that you use the top of your inner thighs to move your legs forward as you walk? I do now. Apparently I pulled those muscles badly trying to steer my horse Tues. and I literally could not walk more than a couple minutes on the treadmill!

Not to be defeated, I got down on the floor and did a bunch of ab work.

Did you know that you use the top of your inner thighs to do a sit-up?


In other news, I'm sold on switching to SSR... but couldn't make it happen. Hopefully today. Full details to come in my PTR.

And I'm heading south for the weekend - down to Miami to visit my cousin. I'll drive down Sat. monring and come back Sun. afternoon, so a quick visit, but I'm looking forward to it. I haven't been down there since I was a kid and my dad lived there!

 

[jcc0621]

Spoke to my grandma today, apparently my great aunt (her sis) isn't doing very well.

So sorry Kat

I don't think I shared this story, either:

I called my neighbor to, um, complain a bit about the AIL showing up out of nowhere Monday night - I called her before they came, but after I'd finally heard the message.

Well, about 8:55 Monday night, I get a call from her - the AIL and UIL were in her driveway, unloading all the suitcases, etc. AIL had called for my address - she had the phone number, but hadn't brought the address. But the rental car had GPS. I gave her my street number, but apparently in the dark, they saw a "6" instead of an "8" and got confused.... My neighbor called because she was in her PJs and was very embarrassed! Oh, well...

just for reference!

We finally have a face to go with the name

Thank you enablers and peer pressurers!

We aim to please

So, I finally caught up on everything late last night, but didn't have time to post. It's been a crazy week around here (as usual). I can't wait until the end of school. It's hard to believe we only have about a month left!

Wow Jim isn't done until June 23rd and goes back Sept. 1st!

Hope everyone has a great day! I need coffee!

You too Jodi

Did open interviews at work yesterday At least I could check the male /female box with confidence this time

And it's supposed to be 72 tomorrow - but 87 on Saturday! I live in NH, people. It's April! WTH???

Smae here CE. It's gonna be great becasue we have all this tuff planned for Saturday and Sunday, but so not right for April

Wait till you see the next installment on my PTR - it's NUTS!

CE took the words out of my mouth! I'm 38 and totally agree. And I'll add that you'll find over the years that different friends fill different needs, and some are only meant to be there a short time while others are long-term.

V and CE say it all.

In other news, I'm sold on switching to SSR... but couldn't make it happen. Hopefully today. Full details to come in my PTR.

And I'm heading south for the weekend - down to Miami to visit my cousin. I'll drive down Sat. monring and come back Sun. afternoon, so a quick visit, but I'm looking forward to it. I haven't been down there since I was a kid and my dad lived there!

Sounds like fun. How long of a drive for you is that? I thought my parents said it would be a 6 hour drive for them, but then again my mother drives with 2 feet so I take everything she says about time with a grain of salt

 

[jcc0621]

So taoday is Friday for me. I took tomorrow off becase we have such an overbooked weekend that I would get nothing done if I didn't take off.

I'm going to take Jimmy to scholl and then do the food shopping. Come home straighten up and do .

On Saturday we have T Ball at 10:00am and then his family coming for a BBQ at 2:00. His aunt couldn't make it down for Easter, so we are going to have a do-over with her here. Since it's going to be almost 90 we decided to BBQ!

On Sunday we are going to Hershey Park. They aren't officially open yet, but my friends DH works for Verizon and this is their freinds and family picnic. It's only open to Verizon employees, their families, and friends. Should be fun. Hopefully it won't be packed!

Today is a work day, but I don't really have anything that is pressing. I do have to review some RFP's, but that's about it.

Have a good day everyone!

 

[Hedy]

Hey all. Nothing much here-going out to dinner for my DSIL's birthday. Six months till WDW-I was all excited-the dentist wanted to book a 6 month last day, and I was all "I'll be away!"

 

[debraW76]

Hi, all!

Speaking of MILs...

Hi
for the MIL. My XMil was that way. She once swapped my salt and pepper because she said I had them in the wrong shakers

Awesome Boat. How many Fockers will it seat?

Thanks for all the hugs and cheers for Doug.

Thanks for the update Kristel. to you and Doug. I am sure your brother will understand.

my great aunt (her sis) isn't doing very well.

The only bad thing is that it's going to be super nice and he'll be in a theatre all afternoon.

A double feature would be Omicron's ideal afternoon

My girlfreind Denise is driving me crazy with TBall though.

I KWYM. Our Tball coach just told us that he is missing two games this weekend. His wife is the assistant coach.

the AIL and UIL were in her driveway,

My mother did that to my house one night and actually went into their basement before she realized she was in the wrong house!

By popular request. I bring you Sunny! Tah dah!

How adorable! And on the BF/wedding situation. I do agree though with the PPs that you need different friends at different times.

on the WDW and Vegas trips.

Morning all! Am I really the first one up this morning? Where's Mel???

Hope everyone has a great day! I need coffee!

Morning.

Did open interviews at work yesterday At least I could check the male /female box with confidence this time

Morning Rosie. I am sure I missed something??

And of course, we don't have central AC

Being from Alabama I have never heard that before

So I got on the treadmill last night and quickly discovered something.

Have fun in Miami

So taoday is Friday for me.

Have fun in Hershey. I want to take my kids there when they get tired of Disney. Thinking of doing Hershey and Niagra Falls, NYC trip maybe in 2010?

Hey all. Nothing much here-going out to dinner for my DSIL's birthday. Six months till WDW-I was all excited-the dentist wanted to book a 6 month last day, and I was all "I'll be away!"

Good morning!


This morning I had to tell my boss that my docimeter ring was no where to be found. He was not happy. I think I owe him $15.
DH talks to his boss today about taking off for Disney. I called my friend who is going in June-she had made several ADRs for all of us and luckily she hadn't cancelled any. Then I called my friend who lives in St. Pete and she said she could come over for the weekend to help me so I wouldn't be alone with the kids. So I have a tentative plan just in case we do go in June instead of October. My husband loves me so much he is letting me plan two vacations

Looks like a busy day at work today

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Morning, Fockers.
I was in a really bad mood yesterday. All this moving and stress has really been getting to me. I did some cleaning out of relationships and it felt good. One of my old friends was rude to me and I called her on it. The old Dawn would have just gotten upset and stewed. Not now. I'm not going to let people bully me- with their silence, with their words... Nope. My life is too busy and too great to waste time on people who aren't great friends.

So, in my reflection time yesterday I also decided that it's time for B to go to public school in the fall. I'm really excited and I think Baylie is too. It's the right time. This decision is why my friend was rude. She just went off on public schools and the dance team B would be on. We worked out and she (sorta) apologized. It's fine. I think I made myself clear that I wasn't going to listen to comments all year about my choices.

On a lighter note, we're finally getting a chance to go see the Hannah Montana movie this afternoon. I'm exicted. I could use some fun.

Tomorrow morning the home inspector comes, so we have to get out of here. We're going to take the dog and go to my MIL's for the morning. I'm going to leave the kids with her and go on a date with my hunny. Our 13th wedding anniversary is Monday.

I have no idea where I want to go. I'm so beat and stressed I just want time alone.

So, I'll be in and out. Have a great Thursday, my friends.

 

[Miz Diz]

If I can laugh, I won't kill her in her sleep.

I wouldn't not be able to stand all that. I would probably try to keep my cool and then end up blowing up at her.

I gave her my street number, but apparently in the dark, they saw a "6" instead of an "8" and got confused.... My neighbor called because she was in her PJs and was very embarrassed! Oh, well...

OMG - I would have been embarrassed, too. Too bad they couldn't just spend the night with her and rearrange all her furniture.

Mini Rant:
In high school i was very close to 2 girls. CJ and Jen. When i went to school we grew apart.

Sunny is soooo cute!

Can totally understand your feelings on that one. As you get older, most people grow apart. I had 2 girls from hs that I thought we would always be friends and keep in touch. I was in one of their weddings. Anyway, we still keep in touch, but hardly. We are facebook friends and barely comment on each others walls. One of the girls told me she was coming to Atl and wanted to meet up with me, only she was leaving right then and I already had plans. Then she posted pics from another Atl trip and never tried getting together. My family and dh's family live in the same town as her and we go there about once a year. I've only met up with her once. We just get busy.

I gotta go workout at some point today, but I haven't decided when.

I've been so slack on my working out this week and last week.

On Sunday we are going to Hershey Park.

That sounds fun!



CE - love the boat!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

We decided on the Tennessee trip. We have another Myrtle Beach trip scheduled at the end of July and I am thinking about renting my sister's condo for 2 weeks. So, Tn will be something different for us. Also, if you haven't heard, Myrtle Beach is up in flames or was.

DD had her first swim class last night. It is through the county parks and rec. She was the youngest in the group, but this was a beginner class for ages 4 and up. The instructor asked that I bring her to the next class down, which is also 4 year olds, but is an intro to water class, which I don't think she needs. She cracked me up! The entire class she kept yelling over at me, blowing me kisses, winking at me, and giving me thumbs up. I kept telling her to listen to her teacher. At one point she told me she hurt her foot and asked if I would come kiss her boo boo. I told her no.
Anyway, I can't get a refund on the class, so I'll put her in the younger group and then I think I will take her somewhere else or get her private lessons.

 

[Miz Diz]

The old Dawn would have just gotten upset and stewed. Not now. I'm not going to let people bully me- with their silence, with their words... Nope. My life is too busy and too great to waste time on people who aren't great friends.

Good for you! No one knows what is best for your family, except for you and your dh.

 

[Miz Diz]

A friend just started working for Intercontinental Hotels and sent us a friends and family rate link (Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaze, etc). It says we can forward to additional people.

If anyone wants it, let me know and I will forward the email. The hotel has to be booked by the end of May, but can be used anytime.

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

How ya' doin'??
Thanks for all the hugs and cheers for Doug.
I missed it, but I'm happy to hear he's doing well, Kristel!

JANET got a good report from a teacher on Jimmy. AIL is coming on Sat. What are the duties of a ‘Member-at large’?
That's great, Janet!
MEL is getting her wisdom removed on May 1st. We all know how wise she is, it will probably take all day! SD is doing super in school and got a break today. He helped mom with the laundry. Gus will be going with Bob to work on Thursday. She has to cancel on the girls’ weekend. Bob should be home tonight.
Oh Mel! You poor thing! I was a wreck after my oral surgery... of course all my wisdom teeth were impacted and they actually had to shave some bone down to get them out.

CE will have the house back for a few days before the next party!!!! She may get her furniture rearranged by the step MIL. She has been having fun trying to find her kitchen utensile. Boat pictures – Post #3042 Looks like fun. Did Terminex find any bugs?
Cool boat!

CEL BEL has to work with an old pervert. I’d tell him to check himself! YUK! Uh pictures of the puppy please!
Old pervert...aren't they all?

JO says no golf today. She has been cleaning up blobs of some kind though.
OMG!

ROSIE is actually going to make the kids work on ‘bring a kid to work day’. Hey Rosie, can you believe that they left such a great swing for us at the vacation cottage?
I loved that picture, too Rosie!

LESSA woke up spewing the truth after her wisdom was removed.
Same thing happened to me, Lessa. I was freaking out hysterical!

Hi, SLATE!Hi Slate!

ANGIE says Mitch is trying to get packed but he'll only be gone to Louisiana 5 weeks. A friend and her girls are visiting.Whew! Glad it's only 5 weeks and not 18 months!

V has horse rash. You'll be walkin' like a real cowboy soon!
What in the world have you been doing???
Hi HEDY! Hi!

KAT has been picking up after KC. Any news on the disability??
I read about KC's birthday! You know you had fun when you spend the next day recovering!
DEB’s DH told her he changed his mind about Disney - he wants to go in June now. He is thinking of just flying down and meeting them midweek. So she gets to drive all 5 kids down by herself and Tour disney alone with them. BOO!
June?? That's next month (Using Fuzzy Math!)

SCOTT will be in his new place in 2 days. They may do DVC if they have $$$$ left over.
Crossing my fingers for DVC!
Hey MIZ DIZ! She has to decide between Wilderness in TN and Myrtle beach with her sister at Memorial day. I've not been to either. No help, sorry.
I vote for the beach... wait, do I even get a vote?
DAWN is thinking about talking.


Z is sick. Feel better soon!

When is the surgery scheduled for?

Monday.

Complete gut?

Yes, except for the floor. Not sure if we'll have enough money for a new floor or if we'll just refurb our existing.

Hola!!! Tomorrow for Animal Crossing??

Hey Kat! Text me when you're on. I'll be in and out all day. I'll try to catch you on. So sorry to hear about your Great Aunt.


Crap! I'm out of time... I had quoted V, Janet and Dawn... but lost them.

Dawn - You go girl! Good for you!

 

[debraW76]

I'm not going to let people bully me- with their silence, with their words... Nope.

Good for you Dawn. I used to be the same way but I got mean during my divorce and havent' changed back yet

DD had her first swim class last night.

I've found that when my kids were that age and taking lessons, they did better when they couldn't see me.

DEB’s DH told her he changed his mind about Disney - he wants to go in June now. He is thinking of just flying down and meeting them midweek. So she gets to drive all 5 kids down by herself and Tour disney alone with them. BOO!
June?? That's next month (Using Fuzzy Math!)

And DH still hasn't commited either way!

Could anyone who is working on a TR send me their link. I need some more readin material.

 

[DisneyJo]

Yes. Nearly-SIL was pretty peeved. She's almost 30 - and we always wonder if step-MIL would show up to any other 30 year old's houses and do this (she did it to me whilst the boys were still in NICU, when I couldn't control ANYTHING in my life. I was, well, livid, that she wasn't even letting me control my own house.

OMG I can't believe someone would do that!!!

Absolutely! Now if only I'd had a lovely cup of tea waiting after my ride...

Well I'm officially sick I hate being sick it makes me feel lazy and I don't want to mess up my gym thing I've started. Stupid germs.

Not much going on here... Waldo's got his pre-op today and we've had a contractor come to give us an estimate on our kitchen. I'm skerred! I can't stand the thought of not having a kitchen for a while.

Good luck to Waldo and I had my kitchen done a few years ago, old house not this one, it wasn't too bad have lots of take out and wash up the dishes in the bath

Now I am making french toast and veggie sausage for dinner (look away, Jo).

Ewwww

If I can laugh, I won't kill her in her sleep.

So did she make it through the night?

Hey, guess what? Boat pictures! (Finally...)

Nice!!!

I may see if he is going out to eat before that. I'd rather do that with him and his girlfriend.

Sounds like a good plan

Spoke to my grandma today, apparently my great aunt (her sis) isn't doing very well. She is blind due to diabetes and has a bad infection now. My grandparents are coming up here next week to see her. I am hoping to visit with them a little when they are here, I haven't seen them since last summer.

I'm sorry Kat

The only bad thing is that it's going to be super nice and he'll be in a theatre all afternoon.

Wow

I gave her my street number, but apparently in the dark, they saw a "6" instead of an "8" and got confused.... My neighbor called because she was in her PJs and was very embarrassed! Oh, well...

By popular request. I bring you Sunny! Tah dah!

Cute and it's nice to see what you look like too Sorry about the wedding stuff and I think everyone else has given you great advice!

Jo are you golfing?

Yep!

Did you know that you use the top of your inner thighs to do a sit-up?

Sorry but

On Sunday we are going to Hershey Park. They aren't officially open yet, but my friends DH works for Verizon and this is their freinds and family picnic. It's only open to Verizon employees, their families, and friends. Should be fun. Hopefully it won't be packed!

Sounds like you have a great weekend planned, enjoy!

Six months till WDW-I was all excited-the dentist wanted to book a 6 month last day, and I was all "I'll be away!"

Woooohooooo

My husband loves me so much he is letting me plan two vacations

Fantastic!

So, in my reflection time yesterday I also decided that it's time for B to go to public school in the fall. I'm really excited and I think Baylie is too. It's the right time. This decision is why my friend was rude. She just went off on public schools and the dance team B would be on. We worked out and she (sorta) apologized. It's fine. I think I made myself clear that I wasn't going to listen to comments all year about my choices.

I think that's a great plan especially if B is happy and enjoy your anniversary

She cracked me up! The entire class she kept yelling over at me, blowing me kisses, winking at me, and giving me thumbs up. I kept telling her to listen to her teacher. At one point she told me she hurt her foot and asked if I would come kiss her boo boo. I told her no.

Bless her



Another sunny shorts wearing day here, it was golf again this time a match and I lost. My handicap is 11 and the lady I played is off 36 so I had to give her 25 shots. I played well but giving her that many shots was just silly, she played the best she's ever played too so she was very happy! I have a mixed match tomorrow, this is the one my partner and I won last year!!!

 

[DisneyJo]

Could anyone who is working on a TR send me their link. I need some more readin material.

The link for my August one is in mt TR and lots of Fockers still need to read it!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cmp1111]

Yeah, but we start school again on August 12th, so when everyone is back in WDW with free dining, we'll be in school already.

True. We go back 8/25, though, so you will be done a month earlier, and back only 2 weeks early.

I totally understand, CE. We've had the weird back-and-forth weather this week as well. I think all of the rain has finally left us (and gone to you, obviously). We're looking at 70s and 80s and sun for the next four or five days too. I can hardly wait to get outside and do some work in my flower beds.

I'm looking forward to some warmth, I'm just flabbergasted by how MUCH warmth there will be.

Yay! Looks like FUN!

Thanks!

Did you know that you use the top of your inner thighs to do a sit-up?

I'm sorry...

I haven't been down there since I was a kid and my dad lived there!

Ooh, have fun!!

Smae here CE. It's gonna be great becasue we have all this tuff planned for Saturday and Sunday, but so not right for April

It's kind of too bad that we'll be inside for a while, but on the other hand, we won't be sitting in a dusty buggy ballfield in that weather, either.

On Sunday we are going to Hershey Park. They aren't officially open yet, but my friends DH works for Verizon and this is their freinds and family picnic. It's only open to Verizon employees, their families, and friends. Should be fun. Hopefully it won't be packed!

That sounds good!

Hey all. Nothing much here-going out to dinner for my DSIL's birthday. Six months till WDW-I was all excited-the dentist wanted to book a 6 month last day, and I was all "I'll be away!"

WOOHOO! Where ya going for dinner?

Awesome Boat. How many Fockers will it seat?

Me plus 9 - come on up!

My mother did that to my house one night and actually went into their basement before she realized she was in the wrong house!

On a similar note, last winter we were having a playgroup dinner thing we do just with the parents, and the hostess had a new boyfriend none of us had met. I went to the right place, but one of my other friends went to the wrong condo. A guy answered, and she assumed it was the boyfriend, walked right past him (carrying food and wine and so forth) and just started chatting. It wasn't 'til this guy's teenage daughter came downstairs that she even considered that she was in the wrong place! He was saying he didn't know our friend, but she thought he was just giving her a hard time.

This morning I had to tell my boss that my docimeter ring was no where to be found. He was not happy. I think I owe him $15.

So, in my reflection time yesterday I also decided that it's time for B to go to public school in the fall. I'm really excited and I think Baylie is too. It's the right time. This decision is why my friend was rude. She just went off on public schools and the dance team B would be on. We worked out and she (sorta) apologized. It's fine. I think I made myself clear that I wasn't going to listen to comments all year about my choices.

Fun news, and good for you. You know we're happy for you, whatever YOU decide.

I wouldn't not be able to stand all that. I would probably try to keep my cool and then end up blowing up at her.

She really generally only stays about 2 days, and she's never done anything I can't just put back once she's gone. I figure it's not worth it to fight with her - but I am NOT leaving her alone in the house this time, either.

CE - love the boat!

Thanks!

Cool boat!

Thanks!

****************************************************
I had a heck of a morning...

Ever since we took the van in after Easter, I've still had the spare set of keys in my purse. I kept thinking I should take them out and put them in the kitchen.

Yeah...

I locked myself out of the van when I got to tennis. Luckily, I realized it right then, but of course I couldn't call D to bring me the extra set, as it was in my purse in the car, too. (I don't take my purse in to the club, usually.)

So I called a locksmith and asked if they'd meet me after the tennis lesson - wasn't missing that! - which was fine, but the guy didn't come in a company truck. I was waiting in my friend's car next to my car, but since I didn't see a locksmith truck, didn't know HE was waiting inside for me. So that took a while to sort out, then he said, "I've never seen a car do this before," if that tells you how the "breaking in" went.

He finally got it open, but it took 3 tools - 2 stuck in my car - to do it.

The upshot is that I left the club a full hour after my lesson.

But the spare keys are now back in the house.

I had told my neighbor that I'd ride with her today to pick up her DH's car, which has been worked on, and she wants to go at 2:00. That should be fine - IF the sprinkler system guys come close to 1:00 - they just said, "after 1:00." I thought originally she'd said around 11:00, but I wasn't home yet, so at least I don't have to feel bad about messing up her day.

Anyway, I'll be in and out. Hope everyone's day is going a bit more smoothly than mine has so far.

 

[scottny]

Paul's Burgers on St Marks & 2nd Ave. Good luck with the move!!!


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I am rockin' and rollin' today! I have put away the winter clothes, cleaned out all our desk stuff, fixed up my bookshelves, organized the junk drawers, cleaned the bathroom, dusted, and swept! I just need to clean the mirrors and make some pea soup for dinner tonight. I'm making it because I can throw it in the pot and forget it for 2 hours.

Well I am about to relax in my clean and now air conditioned house and eat some lunch and then play some animal crossing!

Thanks for info. Are you ready for the 86 and humid weather this weekend. 86 is not bad, the humid part bothers me.


Well at 3pm today we do the walk through and then it is ours. I cannot wait for the move to be done.

Not sure when I will return so have a great weekend everyone.

 

[cmp1111]

OMG I can't believe someone would do that!!!

Yeah... I wouldn't be thrilled if it was my own mother doing it, but a MIL - and then a stepMIL to boot, well... D was 16 when they got married, so soon off to university (and he lived with his mom, anyway), and we don't feel really very connected to her. So it's kind of like an acquaintance coming in and doing this without asking. Odd. To be a little fair, she thinks she is helping - she is very into interior decorating, and her own house is lovely. It's just that, well, we didn't ask, and her taste is VASTLY different than either mine or my SIL's.

So did she make it through the night?

Well, I was referring to stepMIL for that, and she's not here yet, so no decision yet...

I played well but giving her that many shots was just silly, she played the best she's ever played too so she was very happy! I have a mixed match tomorrow, this is the one my partner and I won last year!!!

Yeah, having to give 25 is hard to come back from, no matter how good you are. Good luck tomorrow!

Well at 3pm today we do the walk through and then it is ours. I cannot wait for the move to be done.

Not sure when I will return so have a great weekend everyone.

Congratulations!!!

Have a nice weekend unpacking and so forth.

He finally got it open, but it took 3 tools - 2 stuck in my car - to do it.

Wow sounds like a fun morning CE, glad it got sorted

Not a huge deal, just a pain and an hour wasted, you know?
