Happy Friday everyone!!!![]()
Happy Friday Friends.....
It must be summer.....my calendar is getting busy. I have upcoming visits with my Uncle Teddy on Long Island, Michelle at her house, Toronto with Holly and then Casey and Brittany (GF) are visiting here during Labor Day weekend. I better go take a nap to get ready....hahaha.
Hi Lisa.....I have to tell you how much fun I'm having buying FE gifts for Lila (Lisa's niece). I have all boys. It's so nice to look at girl things. I'm having way too much fun!!
I found some Totally Tink products.....I love everything so it will be perfect for her. I found them for next to nothing on ebay.![]()
So the kid comes home tonight after being in Ohio and Florida for the past three weeks with his mom and younger sister. We had some drama here last night and this morning. Everytime the kid gets together with his mom, he gets stupid.
John usually picks the kid up somewhere local....not at our house. We don't want the ex knowing where we live.....we have had problems in the past with her and this works best. Anyway, the kid calls John last night while John was half asleep and changed their meeting plans. John told me this morning that he has to go to Hershey to pick the kid up and then they're going to a car museum together all day Saturday. UM NOT!!!!!!
I called the kid today and said that dad would meet him after work on the highway and pick him up tonight. Saturday in Hershey is out. I said while you were gone, Suzie was in the shop 3 times for a total of $1600. There's no way that dad has the time nor the money to blow off a day this weekend with you and your mother in Hershey without my being there. NO WAY!! That's not going to happen! And why did he call to ask when he knew that John would be asleep and indecisive?
I don't trust John's ex AT ALL even after 20 years of me and John being together. And the kid just plays into it. Everytime he comes home after spending time with his mother, we have to smack him back into reality. He tends to go to la la land when he's with her.
I'm so impressed with you starting soccer Shannon. Like Holly I would have no idea where to start. also the running. You are getting very serious about fitness aren't you? It can only be good for you, well done.
Been trying to be better about exercise....my sis challenged me to the Princess 1/2 marathon in Feb (sorry if I already posted that)....went walking about the neighborhood Monday & yesterday. Am thinking of buying the annual pass again.....figure 1 turn around Showcase Lagoon is 1.1 miles - might as well walk around the parks, right??![]()
Fab news, Nan - so pleased for you both!!!!And he's in good company as Richard starts work next Tuesday too...

Monica, I'm still hoping we can meet up in OctI'm on the cruise 16-23. I've got a ticket to MNSSHP for the 24th. That only leaves me the 15th, half a day on the 23rd and 24th and a full day on the 25th to play. Any chance??
Anyone else want to play on those days?

Yesterday was busy but good.
First off the interview seemed to go well, but the lady didn't have the salary information available. Because its only a 15month position, the benefits are reduced. I have a 1 in 3 shot at getting it, and I'll find out next week, so at least the waiting time is short. Supposed to hear next week above interview with the other company which is the more intriguing option, but its also only temperary but with potential to become permanent. Scary to think about walking away from secure job to try something new, but eventually it will happen. Thanks for all the positive wishes
Yesterday evening, I took the kids to the rides at our town festival "Billy Barker Days". The girls had fun and got the rides out of their system, and understand that their won't be any more going on the rides this weekend.
Today Ken is taking the girls back to the park for "kids day" where there should be special booths and free activities just for kids.
Tonight the girls are happy to stay home with a sitter and Ken & I head to the park to watch a KISS tribute band.
Tomorrow Ken is driving his dad's car in the parade and the girls & I will be watching.
My parents are coming down and will probably take the girls back to the campsite with them tomorrow afternoon
Overall a busy few days.
Really want to find things to help my lungs get stronger. I'd like to be able to keep up with the girls for a while yet![]()

When I was a teen I was really bad for allergies. I used to wet down a bandana and tie it over my face (like a bad western) when I was dusting my bedroom every weekend. It worked quite well.![]()
Well... mom has left for the Cape of Cod...
Actually she has left for Jersey... She is having dinner tonight with Timmy & Emma (she hasn't seen her since she went to Denmark for a semester...)
The cleaning has commenced...
I know it's not nice to say... but when mom goes away I feel a bit liberated and can get things done easier... oh well... maybe she should go to visit my sister more often...![]()
I just want to remind anyone interested in going to "wherever" the 2010 cruises go....they will probably be announced around November-ish. Remember that deposits for special cruises (Hawaii) may be hefty. So start saving your pennies now. I know I will work on putting aside that money so that Monica can book me on the Hawaii cruise. YEAHHHH!!!!! I'll probably book a dummy ressie onboard to hold for the 2012 announcements.

On the June 12th cruise, Michelle told us that they would be announcing the 2012 cruises the end of August - 1st of September. I don't want to wait until Nov!
