Morning!

Thanks for breakfast iluvtink, I could use some as I have to head out for my morning walk.....they sky is very grey (we've been having monsoons) so I may use that as an excuse to cut it sort!

I have to make PS's for our Sept trip (2 1/2 weeks!!!!). One for breakfast at BOMA and one for dinner at 1900 Park Faire (a first for us). That's it, two PS's only. We're really kicking back and winging it on this trip. Good thing since there is action packed adventure coming up four weeks after that!

Must go put on my new trainers and hit the pavement!

Good morning!

[COLOR=66FF00]iluvtink[/COLOR] Thanks for a yummy breakfast! Haven't been offered breakfast lasagna in a while

Did anyone watch the Olympics last night? I got home from a meeting in time to watch Paul Hamm win a gold metal after fumbling a major vault .....I'm still a little teary-eyed over it....I just LOVE the Olympics

ohanafamily Good luck with whichever weight loss plan you choose....... my SIL just found out she has to take medication for a thyroid condition which causes her to lose weight no matter what she eats - boy, would I love to have THAT condition! But of course, it can be very dangerous so I'm glad she now has it under control

I'm still a little teary-eyed too. I get all choked up whenever they play the National Anthem. Last night was great. Can't wait to see the women's all-around tonight. Did you see the women's 4x200 freestyle relay? The American women kicked ***. They broke a world record that had been around since 1987, and, they beat it by 2 seconds!!! It was great.

it's just as fun drooling over the male swimmers

I agree, the American women swimmers were great too! I just wish they'd show more of the medal ceremony, like when they actuallly walk to the podium, receive the flowers and medals and shake hands with the officials.....I know it's hokey, and maybe a waste of TV time to some...but it's the Olympics and I just love all the pomp and circumstance

......but, NBC needs to get some new commercials......that girl who goes wild during history class and that kid who says abra-ka-da-bra at her car are both driving me nuts! And excactly how many times do I have to watch the Cadillac crash thru the glass wall.....commercials

We get the whole ceremony, medal part on our TV coverage. It's just a shame I haven't heard ours yet (OK we won one today in sailing but I missed it!!) We have a few silvers and bronze medals though.

I'll have to be quick now as I need to head out to the theatre in a minute for another rehearsal. Tonight we are learning the harmonies for the last song. Quite interesting when only a few people can actually read music. All my section stand near me as I am the only one who can follow the music. No presure to get it right then! Plus we are having our photos taken tonight for the programme. I have just spent an hour doing my hair! Why is it that you can never get it the same as the hairdresser did when they cut it? Oh well, it will do I guess!!

Ill be back later guys

 

[MonorailDude]

Sorry I haven't reported back. I needed to read different threads and that. Trip report will be given later.

Good evening everyone.
I spoke to my friend this afternoon who owns a house in Orlando. He managed to get through to his house yesterday evening. Things are could be worse. He lost his pool screen and something landed on his roof. Because of this there is a lot of water damage. Many rooms are going to need re painting and new carpets. He will also need to repare the roof. But like he said the people inside were OK and the damage will be repaired. Fortunately his insurence will cover most of it. He will just have to pay 5% of the total bill. I guess his insurence will go up next year though.

Evenin' everyone...

Ummmm... I'm trying to remember the last time I posted... I can't!! Agh... drill team is getting own my nerves! Let me explain (and rant! sorry...): for some strange reason, you have to try out for the dances that we perform (ex. pep rally dances and half-time performances). On Wednesday, we had try-outs for the hip-hop dance for a pep ralley. Did I make it? Nope... and then today we had the try-outs for the kick routine and I made it. So why am I moping and feeling down in the dumps? Good question, but I don't even know the answer! It's just like everything I do isn't good enough. To make it worse, my parents (at least my mom, I don't know about my dad), thinks I have way too much stuff to do, so I shouldn't audition for this musical (Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat) at my high school that my drill team director said we should audition for. She was all like, "Are you sure you can balance everything: drill team, YAC, homework and this play?" Agh!! It's driving me crazy! She should be GLAD that I want to do stuff, I know tons of kids that don't want to do anything at all, no extra-curricular activities whatsoever! No one is ever happy with what I do... AGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to go on and on about stuff... really stupid teenage stuff.... AGAIN I'M SORRY!!!!!!!!!

Anyways... how is everyone else doing???

 

[ohanafamily]

[COLOR=990066]DHSsenior007[/COLOR], Actually, that play will be in Dallas at the Summer Musicals in a few weeks, if you want to see it. I would tell your mom that you aren't auditioning for a lead, and it will look good on the resume. I did lots of theatre in High School. If you think you can balance it and keep your grades up, they shouldn't have a problem, especially if one of your teachers from an extra carricular activity is suggesting it. Maybe you can ask the teacher to talk to your parents.

BUT, DON'T FEEL DOWN, We will cheer you up.....

BTW, Congrats on making the squad and the team

Cheeringmom, congrats to you and Sam too,,,

 

[ibouncetoo]

[COLOR=990066]DHSsenior007[/COLOR], I second ohanafamily's comments and doing theater is great for your self confidence and, um, it keeps you off the streets at night !?! or any other thing you can think of to say that would make the parental units happy. And it DOES look good on the resume....it's also what colleges look for when it comes to accepting applications....they want to know you can be busy, busy, busy AND keep your grades up!

[COLOR=FF0033]cadburysmom[/COLOR], don't you know, you aren't supposed to WATCH the commercials....you're supposed to run to the bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, make a phone call etc during the commercial breaks!

When, oh when, is RRBB coming back, I MISS HER!!!!!

 

[Danauk]

Good morning everyone

[COLOR=990066]DHSsenior007[/COLOR] I agree with ohanafamily too. I directed Joseph last year with work ( 150 kids aged 7 - 11 on the theatre stage at the same time But it was fun ) There are many smaller chorus parts in the play so perhaps you could do one of these parts.

So what do people have planned for today? We need to finish putting the door handle on the door out in to the garden and then Pete is going to put the electrics in so we can put the lights up. I need to touch up a few bits of paint too.

[COLOR=FF0033]cadburysmom[/COLOR], no we are still rehearsing for the Sound of Music. The show is on in 4 weeks. These things take ages to rehearse Then we will hold auditions for our Christmas pantomime which we will rehearse from October to when the show goes on on the 27th December.

[COLOR=339900]ibouncetoo[/COLOR] I agree, I miss RRBB too. I know she is going to one of her Scrapping master classes in a few days. I hope she has fun there and will return to us soon.

Have a great day all.
