Shelly - lots of prayers for your DH's surgery tommorow.....

Off to bed i'll be in school all day tommorrow.... 3 classes back to back....
 
guys i have a secret to tell you.... i MIGHT be able to go to WDW in May after all.... my mom was doing my taxes today and she said i might not have to pay this year since i have the unemployment thing and i forgot to set it up for them to take out the taxes... but i might get some money back not much but some so it might be enough for a little getway at least 5 days... we'll see what happens....
 
Aw, that stinks! Is it really that far from you? I know it takes about 3 1/2 hours out the turnpike to get there from here.

We'll see what comes together, maybe we can work something out!


yep unfortunately its almost 9 hours.

40 minutes to get from our house through to the border.
over 4 hours to get to where you are, and then another 3.5 to 4 to Hershey from there. :(

It's definitely a long trip for a weekend.


I hope DH is doing well this morning. We are thinking of him. :)
 
Good Morning everyone.
The rain has stopped, but its awfully gray out there. Maybe not so awful if it brings snow instead. :woohoo:

RF - Congrats on the promotion! Way to go!

I have been working on the PTF cookbook. I feel like I am going cross eyed!

I should be finished mid-February. I am so ready!
 
Hello MAYers!

Thanks so much for your thoughts & prayers today. :grouphug:

The surgery went well. It was a very long day, but we are finally home. I need to run back out and pick up his pain meds here pretty soon. The doctor said it was just a minor tear and everything else looked good. So hopefully that means he will have a quick recovery.

Congrats on the promotion RF! :cool1:

Good luck with a MAY trip Mari! :wizard:
 
Shelly- so very glad everything went well and everyone's home safe and sound.:hug:



RF--- yay for a promotion!!! Good for you! Aren't you so excited???

Thanks for celebrating with me everyone!!! I am so excited! I am feeling MUCH better about our WDW trip now. :woohoo: I was feeling a little guilty about it for the past few months. :guilty:

Speaking of which I have been doing a little planning today, so when I get something solid I'll post it for you all! :goodvibes
 
Hey guys!! I stopped getting notified:confused3






Afternoon MAYers! :wave:

Can't wait to see your furniture and cabinet pictures RF!

Glad Emmy enjoyed Enchanted Lake. I liked that movie too!

Good luck at school Mari! :wizard:

Sorry about your crappy weather Sea. Hope next week brings sunny skies! :goodvibes So when are you coming to PA??? I thought about you the other day when I got an email from Hershey!



So guess what I did MAYers???


I got me a job! :faint: Without even looking. A woman from our church called me a few weeks ago to see if I'd like to come work for her at her hair salon & day spa. I had mentioned in conversation to her last summer that I'd like to find something part time someday. Well she remembered and called me out of the blue. I used to do hair, long long ago. I actually still have my cosmetology teaching license. I haven't done it in years, not interested in doing it. Then I was in banking for several years. And now I haven't worked since 2005. Well she thought with my hairstylist background and my banking background that I would be a good fit for her shop, assisting the hairstylists and handling the front desk, books, etc. So I am going to give it a try! I told her I couldn't commit to more than 10-12 hours a week and I would want the summer off and she agreed to it!

So between that and DH's surgery, next week will be hectic for sure.

That is awesome on the job!! Congrats

Happy Sunday MAYers! It's a wet one here. I think we are getting some of your rain too Sea. Rain, rain, and more rain. But hey, at least we don't have to shovel it.

DH got his surgery time. 6:30am tomorrow morning. Not exactly what we wanted to hear. And being that it is workmans comp we have to go where they are sending us - clear on the other side of Pittsburgh. So we will likely be getting up around 4-4:30 tomorrow morning. :eek:

Wow that is early..

So My airfare went down today and I got a 40 dollar credit. Woo hoo!!!!:dance3: I am happy, especially since I have not booked my air coming home, so I can use that credit towards it. :thumbsup2

Thats is from me. How is everyone else?
 
Hi Mayers :wave2:

Congrats on the job, Shelly, and glad your DH's surgery went well :thumbsup2

Congrats on the promotion and raise, RF! Yeah, it makes me feel more like having fun on a trip when I know I'm not going into debt to take it :laughing:

Mari, sending pixie dust that the taxes are good to you and you can go in May!

Jo, are Drew and Belle feeling better?

Man, I am sooooooooo tired. My new job is a lot of work -- but I'm learning a lot of new things, keeps it interesting. My house is a worse disaster than usual, if that's possible. I slept terribly last night, nightmares all night long, so I'm not looking forward to today. :sad1: Just gotta plow forward, one step at a time, I guess, and then the work day will be done. A roofer is coming to look at our roof and give us a repair estimate this afternoon -- we lost a lot of shingles in the storm last week, and that's not something to put off fixing, or the damage could be a lot worse. Not an expense I wanted to take on right now, though...hope it's not too costly.

We did finally get our W2's, so I think I have everything to do our taxes. Should get some back, since I claim "zero" almost all year, but not holding my breath that we'll get a lot...we'll see... :teacher:
 
Morning MAYers! :goodvibes

Hi KB!!!! :goodvibes I hope all goes well with your roof estimate! :scared1: Stuff like that isn't covered in your homeowners insurance? I need to check mine out. :eek:

I have a question.... Have any of you ever used Ralph Lauren suede paint? It looks really pretty and I am thinking of using it in my Dining Room and Kitchen... but I don't want it to look like sponge painting because I am not a fan. :sick:

Here's the link for it. I like the 'Ranchitos Red'

Morning!

KB--- hope your job gets a little easier for you soon and doesn't stress you too much. Belle and Drew are back at school today-- thanks so much for asking. They have both been thru it this weekend- my mom sent them both balloon bouquets yesterday and they were so excited to be getting a delivery. It was rather cute.:goodvibes
Sorry about your roof. Ugh- that's the pits.:headache:
How is your mom doing?:hug:

RF--- nope- I personally have never used that product... I am sooooo not handy.:rotfl:
However- I just looked at that link you gave and watched the how to video- I think the artist that did my bathrooms and dining room might have used something similar to that product.
It looks almost ragged, but not really- it's more even- I guess you'd say--
you can see the brush strokes if you get up close enough. I think she then feathered it-- so it looks almost like a cracked, crumbling european-style wall.
I love the way they look- very neat. I like your color too that you picked out.
I think it would be beautiful in your dining room.:thumbsup2



Shelly--- how's your DH this morning???
Hope you guys had a good night.


I'm trying to plan the trip still--- I just cancelled three car reservations b/c I got a little bit cheaper price. The Standard size cars are still $234!!!!!! And that's what they've come down to-- my first ressie was $267!!:sad2:UGH.

RF---- if you're planning on renting a car for your trip-- you might want to look into reserving one now-- they are astronomical.:headache:
hello to all other MAYers!
Jo
 
Ugh. That stinks about the car Jo. :mad: We weren't planning on using one this year - but we were talking about it with my family last week so it may be an option now.

I'll start looking. :sick:

I did the brushed suede in my bedroom. It wasnt too bad but when you want to repaint it is a pain in the :scared1::scared1::scared1:.
Do you have any red rooms in the house. I have done red in my living room and the only thing about red rooms is that you will have to do at least 3 coats. Red is not forgiving. I hope I didnt scare you. :rolleyes1
 
Shelly--- how's your DH this morning???
Hope you guys had a good night.



Jo


He is doing pretty good today. He's up and hobbling around! :rotfl: He starts physical therapy tomorrow and sees the doctor next Wednesday. So we should know more then.
 
Hello MAYers!

Sorry about the roof damage Katie. Hopefully it won't cost a fortune to fix.

Nope, I've never used that kind of paint RF. I use Benjamin Moore and love it!

Congrats on the airfare credit Huggie! :cool1:

That stinks about the car rental prices JO. :mad: Everything just keeps going up. Airfare is outrageous anymore. I couldn't tell you the last time I have seen a Ding between PIT and MCO. :confused3 And I used to get them all the time. We are considering the possibility of driving to WDW in November. :eek::eek::eek:
