The Maelstromers... a FASTPASS!

[Grammyof2]

Hey Everybody! I am not suppose to be dissing. I am supposed to be loading my car. Don't tell. I am off to my summer estate. Our trailer at the Jersey shore. I gotta lot of cleaning to do. No cleaning lady for me.
The bad thing about going is I have NO internet connection. Got to do something about that. Will be back this weekend to catch up.

The pics everybody posted are great! Loved them all
Tink and Lou got new tags. Lucky dogs.
All the trip planning is sounding great. Make sure you put your trips on the calender Pongo posted so I can keep track.
Horsegirl - Glad your little one is doing better.
Paslea - keep up the good work on the drink and mug of the day.
I am with you all with the diet and exercise stuff. No computer so I will be able to get out and walk, no running for this girl.

I will get caught up on the TR's when I get back. I am reading them ALL.

Mel should be back this week. Try not to post 100 pages cause I will never catch up.

Hey, all you Golden Girls. I don't want to be Estelle Getty. I am more Betty White. Can't tell a short story.

Everybody stay healthy and happy. Talk to you later. I'll be doing the normal

Maelstrom ...is a fast pass

It's up. I've just posted a new chapter. They look short when I post them. Do you people like to read long or short, more frequent chapters? Do you read at all?

Grammy, LOVE the usual, as usual. At least the house will stay clean while you are away. Have a good time. If Mel comes back we'll have 400 pages and none of us will get anything done...

C'mon Jen, surely you're not that young? If you are, then I feel really, really old (and that's really, really sad).

No, I hate Star Trek. I am 26 though. Maybe before my time I am not so sure.




As a side note, I didn't do the calendar, I am not sure who did.... or where it is...but I did add my dates,
Sheri you should add yours too, you are going to be there at my time

I was up and out early today. Tuesday is breakfast with the girls. I lead a very hard life.

But I do need to clean my house and do laundry because we are going away for the weekend again (leaving Thursday, no less). Like I said, hard life. Steve has a music festival he wants to go to so we are pulling the kids out of school and going back to Sea World, maybe the River Walk too. San Antonio has lots to do.

Ch. 11- yeah, Jen is that young. So you missed the whole Duran Duran conversation way back when.

Jamal-I am going to throw in a load before I read it. I think I need to set my timer, clean for 45 minutes, then take a 15 minute break on here. Or something like that. Once I hit the TR boards I am in trouble...

GeorgiaAristocat- It took forever for me to get my first tag. I have never seen anyone get a tag from this thread or a TR. My last tag was from a really silly thread, those seem to generate a lot of tags. How do you make homemade carmels?

Grammyof2- Enjoy your summer estate. See you when you get back.

Pongo/Jen- Can you (or anyone else) post a link to the calender again? When are your finals? How is the Wedding hall thing working out? I love TGM, and when you join you tell him you vacation dates and you sub is good for 6 weeks or something like that, past that date. You can also rejoin at a discount, but you can just use the longest out dates.

Hauntie, we miss you. I bet you will have some good stories for us when you can come back. And Zzub, have you forsaken us? Did that Buzzton guy scare you off? And hey Mark I forgot to say hi to you guys, cool that you had such a great turn out for Easter! I bet your congregation will keep on getting bigger! Who could stay away when the know Da Rev is in the house?

Ok laundry. And general mess picking up time. Yeah, that is so not motivating me. Maybe I need to crank up the tunes. Hmmm, what is good cleaning music...

A RUNDOWN for the morning:

Jen - Where is that located?

 

[sheridac]

Grammy - Have fun at your summer cottage!

Well I got some sun...a little too much on my back and back of my legs..must be because I was laying int he pool then and not outside of the pool. I think the water is like little magnifying glasses. It was a really beautiful day. Windy, hot, but not too hot...just hot enough to want to go into the freezing water. My suit fit me looser than last time. No size 4 string bikini for me....ever..I'll still with my loose fitting tankini with a skirt bottom. I ain't showing my stomach or thighs again, my babies ruined me. How do you bikini moms do it? How'd you not get any stretch marks???

I did step arobics and weights for my arms today with Denise..I didn't even yawn. I also did her(Denise) 10 minute pilates for my abs.

I vaccumed and dusted this morning. I have a buttload of laundry to finish..

Only 35 days until DH and I are living it up at the Poly!!

paslea_pooh -

BTW, I loved all your pics with your different hairdo's and haircolor. You are beautiful . I really loved the pic when your hair is dark and you are holding your newborn son, Kaleb, I think it was. Soooo cute. What color/cut do you have now, you just had your sister do it recently, right?

Yes that was Kaleb. My hair is much lighter now. I finally settled on a lighter brown that had a little redish tint..and blonde highlights. It's a little light than the last picture of me. The style is pretty much the same, only a little longer and I grew my bangs out. It's really layered and choppy. My hair is insanely thick, so she layers it and thins it out A LOT.

Someone asked about how long the TGM subscription is good for. I subscribed months ago for our Dec trip, then we planned a trip for May, so I changed the dates so I could have the May countdown. But I can still look ahead at Dec. and now Sept. since that's when we're going. When I'm all done planning for May, I'm changing the date again for Sept. when we are going for our family vacation, which is why I subscribed in the first place. There is something about getting a discount for multiple trips...not sure about that when you can pick any dates for your trip but look up the info for any other time...but your subscription will end after the dates of your trip are past.

I'm off to do laundry and take care of my baby. He'll be up soon, he's running a fever again.

Plus tonight we have to go suit shopping for DH.

Everyone have a great day.

Homemade caramels - in general for those interested (if you actually want the real recipe - PM me) - the KEY is to have a piece of marble (or granite countertops, etc.) to cut them on. Neither glass nor wood will work - it must be stone. You also have to have a candy thermometer, I wouldn't even attempt them without one. Otherwise, all caramels consist of is butter, sugar, brown sugar, karo syrup, and flavorings (I use a vanilla bean and put in roasted hazlenuts.) These are a holiday classics at my house. Round about Halloween I start getting the e-mails from family members wanting to know if they will get their caramels earlier or later this year (that is, closer to Thanksgiving or Christmas). They really are so good that I considered entering them in the Ga. Nat'l Fair (which is held in the neighboring metropolis of Perry - look it up!) since I think I would stand a fairly decent chance of taking home a ribbon.

If only they wouldn't keep holding the fair in the middle of my Disney vacation season!

And tagless Maelstromers unite! I think I just never say anything clever enough for the TF to notice me . . .Plus I have a hard time hanging out on threads talking about Tom Cruise eating a certain something (check it out if you haven't seen this, on the CB - more Tom Cruise Whackiness or something like that - just don't tell Zzub - hurl factor is high!)

Grammy - have a great time at the shore (or is it a beach in Jersey, too?)

I don't know who did that calendar.... anyone got a clue???

The wedding hall this is ok now, we actually have one. So that's good. Still haven't gotten our money back yet, but he is meeting them tomorrow. Those idiots.
Picked up my invitations last Thursday, they are beautiful. Well worth all the effort and frustration put into them.


I may look into the TGM thing since it is reasonably priced.


Melon/Jen....see we really are sistas ...you hate star trek as well. Haven't talked to you in a while, hows it been? Although you'd have to be my "older" (hotter and more meloney)sister

 

[GeorgiaAristocat]

Everyone -
SNAP did the calendar - originally found on Pg. 96, post 1426. I don't know how to post links to individual posts, sorry.

Here is another link to the calendar: Maelstromers Calendar of Disney Dates

Cheers!

Hey GA just for future reference....you click on the post number in the upper right corner. That will open only that post in a new window. Then you can copy & paste that URL.

Hey, I'm not here just gawking at the good looking women. I'm here to help too.

 

[HaleyB]

Sorry SNAP I will try to remember you did the calander. I added my dates (Thanks for the link GeorgiaAr)

MommyP I hope your little guy gets rid of his temp. soon. Or was it GeorgiaAr that had a sick little one... man I am getting senile.

Still doing laundry. Bummer.

And Lou thanks for the info, I didn't know that!

MOMOFMNM- I just got this cool adapter thing for my ipod so I can play it on my car radio. It is just a cassete with a cord, not the FM transmitter. Mr. Silly has/had one of those and they are a pain and they break too easily.

I hope you are not too sick. Get well!

Jen- I love hearing the wedding stuff too. I can't believe they still have your money! I hope the meeting goes well tomorrow, let us know!

Ok, doing laundry now, I swear.

See everyone, isn't that SOOOOOO much easier than trying to visit the Tech board? SOME people wave melons around. Me? I just wave my ignorance and answers appear (almost) magically!
