Thread Killers Untied! (no Tker left behind...)

[whgrn]

Went to a cookout tonite--I'd have been just fine if not for the chips and pretzels before dinner! Oh, yeah, and the stop at DQ on the way home... But still, all in all not a bad day foodwise.

I went to Verizon and exchanged all our phones. Now I have an LG enV, which I really like so far! MUCH easier to work than the Glyde. The kids are less than thrilled with their plain old boring phones, but oh well, that's life!

Tomorrow we just have church, and no plans for Monday. DS has friends coming over on Tuesday and Wednesday,and we all have our first music lessons on Wednesday. Thursday is the first day of school! (hmmm, can you tell I'm happy about it?)

Watching Gustav constantly. Bopsmom, what's the word down there?? Any evacuation orders for y'all? I just heard NO has some areas of mandatory evacuations for tomorrow. GOOD!!!! Better safe than sorry!

Weather here is hot and getting hotter--going to be 89 by Wednesday! Guess I'll get a little more wear out of my shorts!

Off to bed--have to be at church at 8:45!

WOO HOO Baby Lighttech has been born.

That info itself has made my day.

Praying for everyone involved in the storm heading to the states.

Yes I think a Flat TKer pic in a car at the Sci Fi would be great. I'll see what I can do.

DH and I are celebrating our 22 Anniversary this weekend.
Actual Anniversary was yesterday.
Today we are going to Stone Mountain and have a picnic.
We use to date there all the time and he proposed to me on top of the mountain.

Congratulations to everyone who has kids that start school this week.

Gotta go get ready for church.
Hope everyone has a safe, terrific weekend.

Hello everyone! Just a quick "hey" before I go back and read all the pages that I've missed the last few days.

I'm not as young as I used to be! I went to the Journey/Heart/Cheap Trick concert last night and it rocked! I had a fantastic seat--10 rows back. But I had a terrible case of tinnitus last night through today and boy is my head throbbing....and I didn't have any drinks! I think the music (despite the ear plugs) just mushed my brain around a bit....

I'll be back! Hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful and safe holiday weekend!

 

[MagiKitty]

Ok, I'm back....!

Baby Lighttech has arrived! Congrats to the entire Lighttech family on the wonderful little man. I'm so happy! A lovely little baby to join us in the world. Kiss one of those little feet for me!

BKMETV....we have the same birthday!!! I've only met one other person who has the same birthday as me, so this is very exciting! I'll be 26 this year....again. I've been 26 for while now. Its my best age.

DL55...yes, I have had the fantasy of an inheritance for some distant long lost relative. No such luck here, though. Have lots and lots of family, just no rich ones!

Wait...on GH, Laura's back? Does she know who she is? I thought she was comatose or something...I haven't watched in ages, but I do love a good Luke/Laura storyline.

Bopsmom...are you guys ok down there? Will Gustav affect you at all? My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please keep safe!

disney54us...the AMEX settlement was about those who purchased AMEX travel insurance in the past. I guess they charged everyone incorrectly and was refunded part of the difference and was given settlement money. WEGMANS! I love Wegmans....now that my twins are at Binghamton, when we go visit them at college, I get to stop by my beloved Wegmans again! Ah, its deja vu all over again....

Shmu....are you ready yet? I've just gotten over the BF's wallet fiasco. He has received one new CC in the mail, so he's almost out of the doghouse. I've packed my poncho and flip flops, I'm hoping we won't get wet weather while down there, but I'll be ready just in case! My plan B for wet weather is movies at West Side and some quality time at Virgin Records....and a quick run to the outlets! Congrats on 22 years too! You can just delay your celebration for a few weeks!

Outlet shopping was good, but the real deals to be had was at the mall. Finish Line had a sick sale on sneakers. Their clearance sneakers were already heavily discounted, and another 30% on top of that! Plus they take their coupons....we ended up getting 11 pairs of sneakers and one pair of boots for $200! Lots of holiday shopping done!

JCPenney had a great sale too. Their clearance items were $1.97! Two dresses I had been eyeing were mine finally--for $4! We brought the wrong car-the little elantra--and it was packed full! But well worth it. I got some great shorts for Disney soon....

I'm off to check Alamo rate again! I'm positive I can get it cheaper....good day everyone! TTYL!

Just checking in to see how everyone's weekend is going. Bopsmom-keeping you in my prayers!

Having a slow weekend here. I'm trying to get lots of much delayed house work done , but it feels way to good just sit and relax!

DH went to the Hawkeyes game yesterday, today is a lazy day with a small group meeting and dinner tonight. That should be fun. Tomorrow is hopefully going to be another lazy day-unless I can talk DH into doing some school shopping.....doubtful! That's ok though-a day home with my boys sounds good too!

I found a good deal yesterday! It all of the sudden dawned on me that the boy's swim trunks were already getting small at the end of the summer and they probably wouldn't fit by January. I found DS 18 mo. Nemo trunks for $1 (!!) and DS6 Transformer trunks for $5! I think I was more proud of myself for thinking that far ahead...I'm much more of a last minute person normally!

Has anyone had any experience with the RPDE? I'm thinking about buying the "ride along" for my dad and DH for Christmas as a surprise. I'm just wondering if it is worth it?

[/QUOTE

I'll be at AK this year and then dinner at Boma so I'll be sure to have a toast for you...I don't think I could pull off 26 but maybe I'll go for 35!!

 

[MagiKitty]

sorry, aleciajab, I've never been...but for some reason I think racetrack was looking into it, and I thought that another TKer had actually done it. But I could be wrong, its hard to keep up sometimes!

BKMETV...thanks in advance for the toast! I don't think I can pull off 26 either, but I'm going to try! And since its our birthday, everyone has to agree to whatever we want at least for one day!

 

[D&DDisney]

Happy Day Before Labor Day to all!

Enjoying our weekend at home. Kids are playing in the pool and I've been helping DH paint a room we've been hoping to paint all summer long. Thought we could get it done at the last minute and still say we did it this summer.

Congrats to Shmu on 22 years and 1000 posts!!!!

Praying for Bopsmom and all those in the Gulf region. STAY SAFE!!!!

Kids go back to school in 2 days!!! But, who is counting???? Not a moment to soon. Never had to break up so many fights/disagreements. They are soooooo ready to be back in school. I'll be dancing for y'all on Tuesday. Took the day off to take them to school and celebrate.

I like the way you think...will you tell my DH.

I know what you mean about the fighting, everything seems to be a battle between the two of them.

I've been counting down for a couple of weeks...I'll be the one dancing at the bus stop on Tuesday

We'll dance together.
I have a DS10 and DS6.

Oh, and my birthday is a week after Magikitty's (if I remember right) and yours. It will be the 11th anniversary of my 29th b-day. I gave up trying to pull off 26 like the young Magikitty can. I'm not looking forward to this b-day, but I'd be happy to join your b-day club. Sagitarrians must stick together!
