WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 18

[Tink rules]

who are you talking about ALAN???

I already told him off... besides... it's Monday... wait a couple of hours and then go at it!!!

Thanks! But it really feels like it was over after that weekend, so today doesn't feel like the real day. I've already been wearing my "40" pins from Deb, so I've been treating it as if it already happened. Today was a long day at work and a little necessary running around afterwards, so I didn't get home until about 8:30pm. Long day.

You know... usually we give you a birthday "month"... but August ends TOMORROW!!!

Oh, and my mom surprised me by showing up at work this afternoon with flowers and a birthday card for me.

Awwww that was sweet!!!

Awwww that was sweet!!!

Yes, that was sweet of my mom. SOOOOOO unlike her!

And since August ends tomorrow, that means I have to go to the Secretary of State on my lunch hour and renew my license plate and driver's license! Oh.....and I switched to Geico and saved a couple hundred bucks. Seriously, I really did. I hate those commercials, but now I can do my own.

Marilyn & Deborah won't have a clue what Geico is, I'm sure! Car insurance company that has a cute little talking Gecko as his mascot doing funny commercials, and most of their commercials have people saying "I switched to Geico and saved $400". LOL!

 

[Tink rules]

Marilyn has spent enough time stateside to know what Geico is...

BUT...
she hasn't seen the latest commercial.. I LOVE the piggy... (until you've seen it like 100 times in a row...)

I like Marilyn's suggestions. Definitely change the font. Maybe you could do just one more....with Mickey and Minnie and a full moon. Those are always so romantic. Thanks sweetie.

He is a sweetie!!

HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY HOLLY!!!

​

​

Yes, what she said. I too knew the date, but your surprise 'do' rather knocked me off course!!!

(At least ONE of us remembered... )

Best of everything Holly!!!!

What she said too!!

Aaaw Holly, that is so nice.

Mmmm, I am sure I will be reminded of the Geico when we are back in October!!! Some TV adverts are so annoying. We have Go Compare for our most annoying advert.

And that is only one of them.

Deborah, I love that one. A FB friend posted it last week and I had such a good laugh. I wouldn't have been laughing though if I had sat on the bed!!!

 

[1Grumpy John]

John! How's your head?

head much better no more spinning (Doc changed the dose on my blood pressure meds)

I'm liking the idea!!!



I would agree. How about a little deeper pink for the rose garland. Perhaps the year they got married on the left hand side? I guess that would be 1985? How is my maths?

We are so impressed here. John is in the middle of printing out our magnets for this cruise, and the two you did have come out wonderful!!

thanks and will try on this one

Jumping on to say a quick hello!

Life has been busy.
I started my new job yesterday. It was not a good first day. I got my HR paperwork done, did a safety orientation and was sent home because my new boss was sick and there was nobody available to train me. But that was okay to get paid for a full day and only work for 2. Ended up working out really well, as I went and met with the realtor and got the paperwork done to put an offer on a house. It was accepted, so now we just have to get the home inspection done, and if its all good, we'll be moved into the new house by mid-October at the latest!
Today was day 2 at work, and I actually was very busy learning and doing stuff. So far, I'm enjoying it
Hope everybody is doing well. I won't be able to read much and get caught up, as tomorrow is family dinner at Ken's dads. Ken's grandparents are in town for his sisters wedding on Saturday. Ken's mom arrives tomorrow, and his aunt &family arrive the next day. Its going to be a busy few days, but hopefully it'll be good weather on Sat for the outdoor wedding.

Hi everybody! I'm missing being up-to-date, but I will get there again when life calms down.

 

[Tink rules]

Glad to hear from you!! Wondered how the first day went...

So... which house???

Have fun this weekend!!! Take pictures!!!

Hi Shannon, and thanks for the update. Sorry your first day wasn't too good, but it looks like things are improving.

Great news about your new home. Have you sold your own already?

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Hi Shannon....it sounds like all good things are happening...as they should. I'm so glad for you, even though it's really hectic....a new job, a new home and a family wedding all at the same time is just crazy, but a whole lot of fun too. Enjoy!!! Can't wait for all the pics!!!

So Earl is coming. He's currently a category 3 hurricane expected to hit the Carolina coastline on Friday. Casey and his girlfriend, Brittany, are supposed to be driving up here from Virginia on Thursday. That's cutting it a little too close for me and his mom. The hurricane is 125 mile an hour winds and it's 90 miles in radius. Even if it never hits land, he's going to be driving in strong winds and heavy rain the whole entire drive. That's dangerous. He thinks he can outrun it because it's not due until Friday and he's leaving on Thursday. Me and his mom still think he's cutting it close. Better to be safe than sorry. But him and Brittany are young and think they are right and invincable and they're both 18 so they're coming. I'm terrified for them and so is Casey's mom. I'm not sure what Brittany's parents are saying. Am I wrong? Am I crazy for worrying? Me and Jane, Casey's mom, both tried to talk him and Brittany out of coming, but they are stubborn and swear that they will be fine. I know Casey gets the stubborn trait from my mother because I do too.

 

[Tink rules]

No... Deb... you're right... & he's young and stupid.... (we never wrere were we???)

& It's hitting the coast Thursday... not Friday... Tell him to watch the weather channel more...

I'm watching the weather channel. I hope he doesn't come. He said he'll decide tomorrow. He thinks he'll be fine though.

Since that chat, there has been a new development. He has been fighting with his mom so he's 18 (for two weeks now) so he's ready to move out. Ugh. He's moving his turtles (my turtles) to a friend's temporarily. I'm extremely upset about this. I don't think I want my turtles out there somewhere that I'm not sure of where they are. I'm sure he will do just fine. I'm not so sure about the turtles. Should I be an indian giver and take them back? He's moving in with a friend until he can move out on his own. Then he'll take the turtles back. That could be a while. I should get them shouldn't I? At least for now. I worry about them being cared for properly.

Deb, if you are going to worry, and it looks like you will will, then there is only one thing to do, and that is to take them to look after. A shame though. Aren't families a problem at times.

 

[1Grumpy John]

some changes, will whip up another soon

 

[granmaz]

Looking good John!!

I think you're right Marilyn. I need to know where they are and if I don't then I need to have them here until Casey can take them back. Thanks that helps.
