I just KNEW that I shouldn't have posted that I'm going to WDW, cuz' it'd jinx me, and looks like I'm RIGHT!:mad: I'm sooooo mad right now, I could just spit!!!!

For the last 2-3 weeks, we have been T-R-Y-I-N-G to put together a vacation of some sort. We usually go away on vaca with my DH's sister and her friend; they are easy to get along with and we like their company (especially my 3 DS's!) Well, one day it's WDW, with the FTP (and I got a REALLY great deal!), changed to Ocean City, Md., then it's Williamsburg, Va., then it's Va. Beach, then followed by HersheyPark, and, up until last Thursday, it was Hilton Head Island, SC. (I'm not even gonna TALK about the details deciding which week we were gonna go!) Finally, at my DH's cousin's dughter B-day party last Friday evening, we were discussing an ill uncle who lives in Sanford, Fla. He was diagnosed with lung and liver c----- and was "given" about 2 months to live. Since he is the last link to my DF-in-L (who passed away 8 yrs ago) I suggested that some of my DH's family members visit him while he is still alive. Long story short, inquiries (both via phone and online) were made - we'd be renting a 29' RV and driving to Ft W. Today, I was to go to central NJ to the RV place to leave a deposit of $500, so I called my DS-in-L at work, just to get the final "ok". NOT!!!!! Now, because of, hmmm, let's put it this way: a "medical reason", they don't wanna go, which alters OUR plans, because part of the beauty of driving an RV was that there were 4 drivers instead of two, so it'd be smooth sailing straight to Fla., plus, lately, my DH doesn't want to go on vaca unless we go in a "group". So, now MY job is to call the guy at the RV place to tell him we AREN'T taking the RV, which he could have rented to someone else!! And, NO WDW!!!:mad: Well, 20 minutes later, my DS-in-L called me and asked if we could possibly go during the 3rd week of August. I doubt if my DH will take off that week (he owns his own business, so no prob there), because he is the head coach of his peewee football team and practice begins on Aug 4.....

Okay, rant over, time to get off my soapbox....:rolleyes:
 
Found out yesterday that this guy from church who thought he had a stroke...actually had the West Nile Virus...:eek: ..I guess that was sorta good 'cause if it had been a stroke he would still be messed up..:( ..but he seems to be completely normal now..:)
 
Kimmar, so sorry to hear about the probs with your SIL & your vacation. :(

West Nile? :eek: Very scary!!
 

Kimmar--hope something good works out for ya...:(
 
Kimmer I am so sorry about your trip. Hey I know where Sanford is. I used to go to the Walmart there when I lived in Winter Springs 8 years ago. Nice quiet little town at that time. I know that your uncle would have appreciated the visit.

Shep we went to the Hofbrauhaus and then hung out at Newport on the Levy and then saw Pirates of the Carribean at AMC theatre. The place was jumping. We spent 45 minutes listening to a band on the levy and watching all the expensive cars pull into Brios.......Hofbrauhaus was a great time also. I love german food.

Well, today is same old same old. Got to do some laundry...
 
Hello YaYa's

Boy have I missed everyone. I've been icky since last Tuesday. My birthday of course. Now my 4 year old has an upper respiratory infection like mommy.

Kimmy, sorry about your trip problems. Sometimes I wish we could travel with our family, but most of the time, I'm happy it's just us. It's so hard to please everyone.

Our next trip is Myrtle Beach in about 3 weeks. Yeah.

DD is home from Hawaii. Now we are into Sweet Sixteen mode. Fun stuff. I'm an obsessive compulsive planner, so I love having something to plan. Especially since my next trip to WDW may be a year and a half away.
 
Kimmar, Sorry about your trip. It is always so hard to co ordinate when there are other families involved. Hope that something works out for ya'.

Thanks for the congrats Shep! West Nile??:eek: very scary!

Betty sounds like you had a nice anniversary night on the town.

HI to everyone else who has checked in and out today!

Back to work for me! :cool:
 
Sketti--one of these days we'll see a movie 'on the levee'...lol...
We used to have passes to the aquarium but we got tired of it....and we went to dewey's for pizza a couple times...yummy..:)
 
Hi everyone..Just popping in for a quick howdy from Frisco Texas!
Did everyone miss me the whole day I didnt post???
Our concert is tonight and we are going home sometime tomorrow
Catch you later!!


Oh and no way in hell-o are my boys having a slumber party with their girlfriends!!
 
We had passes the first year that the aquarium opened. My brother was in charge of coral reef. When they opened the Aquarium they did a big spread in the paper about all the people who headed the different departments and had their picture and a biography and a little article about that person. It was so weird seeing my little brother sounding so grown up. He stayed with the Aquarium for two years and then left. After working at the Cincinnati Zoo where the animals came first and then at the aquarium where business came first he had burned out. ;;

We haven't tried Dewey's Pizza yet. Was it good? I have eaten at Jax in the Gameworks....food was good. It reminded you of a TGIF. Didn't venture around Gameworks, so don't know what it was like, we were hungry.

Lizzie, glad you are back and feeling better but wish the little feels better soon. Oh the slumber/shag party was a conversation that Pam and I had yesterday. Got to watch us Ya Yas, we touch upon several juicey and controversial subjects. Of course I don't any of us here thought it was an OK thing to let our kids do.
 
I guess I have probaly seen your brother at the aquarium then..
Dewey's was very good..You can get some really weird things on your pizza..I think we had one with barbeque chicken as a topping once...yummy(must be good since I am a very picky eater). I have been in gameworks once to a birthday party.. We had fun...There will be no boy/girl slumber parties until after I am dead...:jester:
 
Boy/Girl slumber parties won't even happen after I am dead. I will come back to haunt my two if that happens!!!

We will have to try Dewey's the next time. We don't eat and do dinner often because it is so expensive but the next time we splurge I will put it on the "to do" list
 
Deweys really wasn't too bad...I think we got out of there(4 of us) for around $20-$25..:)

Hey Texas D...I missed you the whole day you did not post.:)

Kimmar...why does DH only like group vacas? Can you not just go to FL without SIL so that you can see the uncle as well? It's horrible to have your hopes raised , then dashed.

Shep now that it's over and things are ok...the story is kind of funny:)...thank goodness it was only West Nile!! :p

THe laundry is crowding me out of house and home...ooh sketti were you an Ozzy Osbourne fan in your youth?:) Was he coherent back then? Man...he's a riot.:)

Hey all...hope you had nice lunches.:):wave:

I am glad it was West Nile..This poor family has had it's share of bad luck...:( ...
 
I can't imagine how relieved they must have been...this is a relatively young man, I'm assuming(under 50)...I hope he has nothing more than slight flu symptoms while he fights it off.
 
The symptons of it were similar to a stroke were he lost control of one side of his body, and then they thought it was lime disease, but they concluded it was West Nile and now he appears fully healed...:)

Hey sketti or anyone else for that matter, any interest in the Renaissance Festival??
Look in my siggie..
Got the web site..:)
