yep! I'm gonna do some ironing and get to it later. I have recital rehearsals tonight and kids night out at the preschool.

I feel silly writing stuff about my family. We aren't that interesting!!!

 

[tinkermell]

LOL Shawna!!

Beth/mommaU4 feels bad, cuz she put the castle snow pictures up instead of you.

Funny how things get upside down and rumored!!!!!!!

hello everyone!! Well... My mom just called to let me know she was watching the parade at WDW. She has been bitten by the Disney bug, and she is having the time of her life! I knew she would have fun, how could she not, right? Meanwhile, my head ache is finally gone, and I have done the dishes, and a little cleaning.

Well then join the club, cuz most people aren't that intresting. Unless you consider hauling manure really astounding and interesting!

But it still is fun to know the backgrounds of families.

Yeah... We are boring too. Dh works all the time, and I sit home trying to think of ways to tape the kids tot he wall.. BUT... Dh has Saturday night off!!!! I am very excited about that!! He comes in all sad looking.. I have some good news and bad news.. He told me that they are having some trouble with there time clocks, and there whole system thing.. It is really confusing how they clock in, so they are just shutting everything down this weekend to get it fixed. Less paperwork that way, and you know how greasy machinists hate paper work!

 

[AZMickeyfans]

I would think a greasy machinist would be good at many things but not paperwork!

Cool! I want an HD TV!!! Those are awesome!

 

[eatmypixiedust]

Yikes! It's huge!

I'm going to get into BIG trouble!

Don't worry, I made sure it met the DIS Sig guidelines. It's 500X200 which is the maximum size allowed. It also meets the size requirements which is less than 50K kilobytes (the sig I made you is only 17,768 kilobytes). If you want me to resize it for you then let me know.

Shore is quiet around here!

 

[staley7580]

Indeed it is!

 

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

Its not that quiet!!! I still hear the voices in my head!!!!

Good Morning Hyenas! I had the worst night.....we had several power outages in our area and it was horrible and not to mention hot! The internet and cable is still out so I'm DIS'ing with my phone. Our house alarm kept beeping the whole night and I kept waking up every few minutes to disarm it. The alarm company kept calling to ask what was wrong. Then they called my parents and my mom called me at 4:30am. I was so grouchy from lack of sleep. The power is working again but I want my internet and cable!

 

[funnygarcia]

Poor pixie!
Hope all is fixed soon and you can sleep today. Guess that means I won't see you on Sunday?? Plenty of times to meet up-- I'm not going anywhere

Went on an adventure in to Riverside to pick up a free dresser (soemone posted it on local Freecycle group).
Got off highway too early, extra driving but didn't get lost. The dresser needs some cleaning- most have been in storage for awhile. And it's a bit broken/ banged up.. but free is free! It's going in the boys closet, no one will see it anyway.

While we were gone my nephew called. He's a marine who will be based near San Diego, he talked to N for awhile (not the best person to talk to.. he has limited attention span, forgets the details). Something about "what are we doing for Thanksgiving?"
Thank goodness for cell phones, found his number in the incoming calls list and fired off a voice mail message to him.

Last I heard, he was back at home helping in the recruitment office in Duluth, MN. His next training wouldn't be until December, he just graduated from bootcamp.. needs his weapons training and whatever specialty he is going into.
I wonder if he has time between leaving MN and reporting for training??

Do new marines typically get time off on the holidays??

I'm so confused.

You would think he would stay and be with his Dad during Thanksgiving???

Guess that means I need to buy a turkey afterall!

 

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

Everyone must be out shopping!!

let hubby sleep for a few hours, then he got crabby when DS and I came into the bedroom to check on him "get off me!"-- ummm I'n not even touching you, and I haven't even said "boo" to you for hours now so shut up and put up.

We went to Target, bought socks since I keep throwing mine out. In one day I had to change socks three times due to holes! Did all the laundry a few days agao.. counted up my socks.. I had only three pair, even those were kinda threadbare. ARGGGGGGGGGGH!
Now I have socks and a pair of capris (was trying to wait for 75% off, they have been stuck at 50% for ages now.. guess they won't be marked down anymore).
Tried to find clearance shorts for boys.. nothing left. Later we will buy them some sweats and hoodies, maybe some light weight cargo pants for J. No need for jeans until it gets colder.


Cleaned up the dresser.. ewwww dusty!
Won't fit in the boys closet, did some rearranging.. looks ok in their room now. I want to get them a loft bed or bunk beds, more room to hang out. They also need a TV, we gave their old one away before we moved-- the sound was dying on it.

It amuses me that we have a TV we bought a year before we got married.. and it still works (over 15 years later) . Bought the boys a TV and it lasted only 3 years before the sound died.

hmmm, maybe a pawn shop for a TV. We used to pick up VCR players for cheap at pawn shops.. when they died we gave them to BIL who loved to tinker with stuff. He would fix it, squeezing another 6 months life out of it.

I'm bored.
