Thought I was already on the "Waiting to close" list. It's now official that I officially belong there, having been thoroughly estoppified and occasionally stupefied.

Quick! Just got a TTS email with an OKW 1000 point contract on it! I know there's gotta be somebody on here ready to jump!!

 

[HolidayRoad]

Chickypoo - I'm glad you that whole thing straightened out! Now you can have some fun.

Kristen / Tammy- I am so jealous! I still have another 349 days to go. Have fun and say hi to Mickey for me!!

Joyzilli - I don't know how I missed you I will add you to the ROFR list right away!

Colonialtinker - Congratulations on closing woohoo!! It would have been nice if they told you though.

Laxmom - You & yours are still in my thoughts and prayers.


Now, here is why I'm late today:
My wife got some sort of bug and is sick all night so neither one of us got much sleep last night, Then this morning I wake up do my morning routine head out of the house to go to work and my car is dead. Yay me! So I head back inside and call AAA. they tell me it will be about an hour. Yay me! I head upstairs and inform my wife of what is happening, she grunts at me rolls over and goes back to sleep, she's still sick as a dog. By the way not to get off subject but what the heck is sick as a dog mean anyway, do dogs get sicker than humans? Anyway back to the story. I make the kids breakfast get their lunches together tell them to go get dressed which they do and come down in outfits that don't come close to matching so I tell them to go and try again. They come down and their close to looking normal so I let it go. I ask my daughter to look out the front window and let me know if a red truck shows up because they are going to fix daddy's car. We live on a main street so every truck with red on it that goes by my daughter runs in screaming like it's an emergency that the red truck is here. Finally, I thank her and tell her that I've got it from here. A few minutes later the AAA truck shows up. The guy says he will test the batter and alternator let me know what's going on. He does his thing, dead battery. Great no big deal I'll go get a new one. He leaves I call work tell them I'll be a little late no big thing. Now I take my kids to school so my sick wife can rest then head over to auto-zone and buy a new battery. I go home pop out the old one, put in the new one I go to lock it back in with the bracket screw it down and I break the head off the bolt, Yay me! So I start to throw a hissy fit in the driveway because this is what you should do to rectify these type of situations, it does no good. I storm back into the house, my wife is up in the kitchen looking , well, like a sick person. I tell her what happened she says "I'm sorry" and goes into the bathroom. I now have to head out to the hardware store and buy a screw extractor because the battery has to be held down. I go over buy the extractor come home manage to remove the broken screw and of coarse lose it somewhere in the engine, Yay me! So I remove another screw from a different part of the car, it fits in the hole for the bracket, then go into my house to wash my hands before heading over to the hardware store again to buy new screws. I go into my bathroom wash my hand turn around to dry them my cell phone hits the side of the sink and falls into the toilet, Yay me! I quickly pull it out try to dry it off, my contacts list wont open and the 6 doesn't work! So I head off to the hardware store buy two screws come home fix the bracket and then come to work, hey it's lunch time! How's everyone else Friday going!!

One can dream, could you imagine having 1,000 points (ignoring the annual fees)? I did get an email on a 25 point BWV contract, with a few banked points. DW asked how much of my lunch money I had saved since we sent in payment for our first contract two weeks ago.

Being able to laugh about a morning like you had is how we stay sane.

This is true. To be honest however, I look at that whole situation with Laxmom and it's a heck of a lot easier to laugh at my morning. bloodied knuckles, broken cell phone, $100 for a new battery I got off light. All in all, I'm pretty lucky and blessed for all I have. My skin will grow back I'll get a new phone, my wife will get better and what's a hundred buck's really not all the much. It was annoying though!

 

[HolidayRoad]

I finally make it on the boards today and everybody leaves!!!
This is so not my day!

Try taking your battery out of your phone and put everything in the sun. I've had this happen to a phone and a brand new sony digital 10 mega pix. camera my DH got me for x-mas. My DD (15 mo) at the time took it for a swim in the tub. After one week of sunning the parts...it works perfectly. Everyday more parts started working. To where now you would never know it liked water so much

Just so you know if you try to take your phone back to the store to replace it for free...they won't. They have a tiny piece of litmus (sp?) paper in the battery compartment that changes colors if it has been in H20. I dropped my razor in a glass of ice tea in the car a while back! I didn't try to take it back, I just heard that from someone else.

Hope your day gets better....

Nothing new to report....25 days of estoppeland and nothing!!

Working on all the party details (clean house, make a cake, clean house, make dinner, clean house ) for my DD who will be 4 on Sunday....Princess Strawberry Shortcake....my poor DS will be the only boy.
Our menu so far is looking good.. Strawberry jello jigglers, fresh strawberrys with marshmellow cream dipping sauce, stawberry (homemade) cake in the shape of a Stawberry Shortcake Princess. Trouble coming up with the main dinner course (stawberry chicken does not sound hot ) any idea would be helpful!!

You have been in my prayers LM...

Have a great day everyone...

That happens to me all the time...I think it is the time change...Everyone is in bed by the time I get on.

Very awesome!!!! I want your vacation time. I don't get enough time for all of the vacations I would love to take.

Let me know on Vero Beach - I looked at that one too. I want to do one of the beaches as our 2nd trip.

Thanks. We have been to Vero Beach before in the winter and it was chilly. It is a completely different type of vacation there. You just have to stay in either a full ocean view studio or beach cottage to get a view of the ocean. I don't think that any of the 1-2 bedroom villas have ocean views which is really important to us. I'm just excited to try out some of the different resorts I have never stayed at before.

Thanks, I will try that, I hope it works, I can't call a lot of people with my 6's.

Really?! 25 days, I think you can break the record! I don't know what the record is but I'm rooting for you! You can be "Princess Amy Lyn of Estoppel"!!! Sounds very regal

 

[tammymacb]

Ed, I'm sorry. I tend to have lots of days like that.

Once we had a resident at the hospital drop his pager in the toilet. Residents are pooooooor. I felt bad for him so I "tongue and cheek" began the "Pennies for a Pager" campaign. We collected change in a big jug ( with a goofy looking picture of said resident on the front ). A few attendings actually threw bills in. Someone stole the jug...A big, giant, plastic, Costco sized pretzel jug and walked away with it.

I've not had too bad of a day, btw. EXCEPT, I just got my MC bill for my 150 DVC points. Now remember, the reason I put them on a credit card was for the 3.9% financing for the life of the loan. Apparently we do math differently. ACK.

WOW!!! We are only on Day #16 in estoppeland and it seems like it has been a month, or more, already.........

BTW, Aunt Edna is around spreading the love.

I think she owns BWV. I hope I never run into her. I'd have to kick her in the shins..

 

[HolidayRoad]

I formed a picture what you all look like by your personalities and Avatars I think it's only human nature. Or maybe I do this just because I'm weird. Some of you have posted pix of yourself and to be honest nobody looks remotely like the way I think you should. Not in a good or bad way but everybody that I have seen pix of on here have the wrong hair color an height everything. I'll give you an example; if Princess Amy Lyn doesn't look like Cinderella I'd be shocked, her avatar has me believing that that is what she looks like. Grandbuddy, sorry but that is not what I thought you would look like. I was picturing Buddy Epsen on Barnaby Jones. Just curious, been a long day.

 

[tammymacb]

I bet I kind of look like you'd imagine.

Except I bet I'm taller. ( I'm 5'11 and so is Kris ). I have boy short hair and don't own a pair of pantyhose or dress shoes.

I have a picture of me and my family in my signature so there's no question there!
