WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt3

[iankh]

So Ian, how are the wedding plans going? Or should I be asking Nan?

Oh ... and one more thing. I did order the cake topper, which by the way is going to be handmade and coming from the UK.

Ian, I forgot to answer your question about getting a car here. How are you getting to the courthouse? Other than that I can't think of a reason to rent a car. And on that day I wouldn't suggest that you drive yourself since you'll be nervous. I'd offer to drive you, but Z starts kindergarten that morning, so I don't know what time we'll get there and you'll want to be early.

I think Conestoga Wagon is a good fit... oh wait... horse and carriage... or well... Model T??? What look are you going for again???

Kelly... I thought Ian and Sukie wanted to GO to 1st day of Kindergarden???

I'm MIA for 2 days and you go onto part 3!!

Need to go catch up on the end of part 2 - will be back later

HI MONICA!!!!

Glad Jackie and Cheri were not seriously hurt.

Escrow has been very stressful. We just submitted the 7th addendum (none of the first 6 were accepted by both parties) after we told our realtor to just submit a termination and that we would petition to keep his $20,000 earnest money. The original contract says it will close next Monday and we have done everything we have needed to do to make that happen. Since no addendums have been acceptable, the original contract is all we have. I think that got his attention and maybe he will be reasonable and get this closed. We will see what he does today, then we will know if we retire July 31 or if we work a bit longer. We know he really wants the property (and is getting it at a very good price!) since he has put well over $1000 into inspections, soil reports and plans for a remodel and put up the $20,000 in earnest money.

The really bad thing about all this is that it has cut into my DIS time!

How dare he!!!! Tell him to close because you need to Dis more!!!

Kelly - I was planning on us taking a cab to the courthouse. I looked at a map and the distance isn't all that far to the old courthouse.

And the new courthouse??? is that closer??? (i know.. I'm making trouble again...)

Ugghh......I don't think I can handle playing any more Monopoly today.

Try solitaire...

how about no kids but some tired haggard mamas???

Drinkin Margueritas??? I know Nan... RUM!!!

Actually I think Kelly and I need to have a conference.

Kelly, let's talk after Molly's bday, (wednesday) only one party plan in my immediate head this week. still trying to come up with birthday favors for the cast of 35 kids. I'm going to look for those little musical instruments filled with small round candy beads. if anyone sees them let me know!!!

I think those are appropriate for the wedding...

Hey, everyone! We are going on a Disney Wonder Cruise on Sunday! Double dip to Castaway Cay! Only Chuck, Patrick and myself. Mike is going to a law preview in Miami. First time in the Inside Disabled Accessible stateroom on Deck 6. I'll take photo's of it. I think it will be interesting....we've never done an inside room on Disney yet. I will bring a nightlight. I just hope that Patrick doesn't want to sleep all afternoon.....that might be a tad boring.....I am plannig to try to get him to nap on deck in a deck chair with lots of towels to get him in a good position....and maybe a blanket to keep him snuggly. I hope this works, at least I can watch the movie on the BIG screen!

Have a good time Connie!!!!

Hey!!! That was my 4000th post. I'm catching up with Holly ;-)

I really know almost nothing about the wedding except the actual ceremony and what Sukie and I are wearing. Nan and Kelly have told me nothing. I've been told that we just need to show up when and were we're told.

Geez, everyone knows that the new courthouse is in Laguna Hills (you know, I couldn't even tell you where the courthouse is in Chicago.)

Ian
I saw Wanted tonight. It was filmed in Chicago and there was alot of action on the trains. I was thinking about you and wondering if I could have found your house, had I know where it was.

Steph

Paul and I saw it the other night and thought the same thing.

interesting flick

We really enjoyed this one! Heard there will be at least one sequel - possibly two.

 

[LisaG520]

Thanks for the input! I guess I didn't realize kids actually like to be around their parents. LOL! Especially the mean ones like me!

My night off will hopefully be put to good use. I told my co-workers to ask me on Monday if I cleaned my house AND mowed (front AND back) and if I say no to either, they can SLAP ME! There's no reason why I can't force myself to get this done with my extra time.

And today makes a FULL WEEK migraine free! I can't remember the last time that happened, so I'm sticking with my new drug a long, long time!

I'm having trouble forcing myself to do anything to get ready for the move so I feel your pain. Let me know if the slapping works for you...

I did see them filming the new Batman movie that just came out. Actually I could see the filming going on from my desk. The "bank" in the opening is an old post office.

OK, I'm finding Face Book a tinsy bit creepy.

I received an email invitation from someone to join a group for people who grew up in the '60's and '70's in the neighborhood I'm from in Brooklyn.

Thats cool...i liked it. We talked to the screen the whole movie! Thank goodness there were just a few people in the theater. There was huge line outside of people waiting for batman. Alot of them dressed up like the joker.

We're hoping to see Batman in the next few days - though no Joker make-up for us

Between packing, working, and Comic-Con starting Wed we're pretty busy but we'll make time to go see it

That would be cool to see.

Looking forward to seeing that, and all the photos.

Now I wouldn't get any work done if there was some filming going on near me.

Good morning all!

Everyone is so quiet lately.

Here is the reminder for today:

Ok, has anyone else here seen the social browser Flock?

The idea is that it works with your social networks, such as Facebook, My Space, Flickr, etc.

Plus it's also a normal web browser.


I downloaded it and it is pretty cool. Exploring Facebook with it made Facebook so much more usable, because on various regions and bars I could see the mail, invites, poke, etc and also media showed up in a "media bar."

It's available for both Mac and Windows.

Has anyone else here been using it? Am I just old and behind the times?

Here's the link to the site for Flock:

1st week w/ the 4-10hr workdays is coming to a close - not too bad, but am exhausted. So glad tomorrow is Saturday.

Been trying to battle my demons this week - not doing all that wonderfully - need to talk to the Dr about a few things.

Lisa & family got to Argentina ok on Tuesday - heard that Ian slept a lot & listened to music and that Sydney did well - even flirted w/ the people sitting behind her on the plane. Everyone happy to be together when I spoke to my parents & Ian on Tuesday (the other 3 were napping). Will probably call them tomorrow.

Jan - glad you enjoyed the Java Chip Frap - may have one after Church on Sunday (Starbucks is just down the street).

John - so glad to see you! Glad Manuel is still heading strong in his road to recovery.

Connie - please make sure you have enough room in your luggage for all of us!

Monica, Stay strong and get in touch with your doctor. Those demons can show up at the worse times. Been dealing with them myself. Just remember that we are here for you and will always understand.

Angie:

Sorry to hear this. Stay strong and if it's meant it will be.

I feel some forebodding here for me. I got the call from our realtor with a counter. It still is sucky. But I really just want the house out of my frame of reference so I've offered another counter. My agent tells me that the buyers agent is ignorant about the spetic and that she calls him every hour. Not a good sign. I suspect after they inspect they will come back asking for more money off to which I will say "GO JUMP IN THE LAKE" hahahahaha that was funny, the house is on a lake and that felt good to say...

If we get in contract we will make a trip up there and perhaps spread dad's ashes on the lake. I haven't been ready yet for this, but now it's here and we can do it feel ok. I guess this is why our August is not planned past the kids being in camp for that first week.

I haven't talked to my mom about the offers yet, just don't want to get into it with her, since I know it will trigger phone call after phone call with the same questions over and over again.

ok, gotta get some work done today, sorry to ramble & thanks for listening.

Feel free to ramble. Rambling is good.

Lisa, did you find a house in Jacksonville? My aunt and grandparents lived there for years. It is a beautiful city.

Not sure what happened but the thread seemed to have died after Marilyn's post at 3 AM. Did the Dis go down?

Connie - have a terrific time! I wish we were going on a cruise again (a bit sooner than we are).

Hey!! This would be a great honeymoon!!

It is pouring and poopy here in Chicago.

We are having a spate of increased efficiency, and so did all of our errands and shopping during the week. I am now sitting here on a Saturday with no plans, other than to take a blazer I bought for the wedding to a tailor to have the sleeves taken up.

Sukie is at the library doing research and won't be home until later.

It is so rare that I find myself casting about for something to do, because I so rarely have free time.

I suppose I could clean, but that never enters my psyche (and the house doesn't need cleaning
anyway.)

I suppose I could also just take my mother's advice and bang my head in the wall.

I'm also a bit worried about the poopy weather.
