Good Afternoon All,
Back from Mommy and Me and Target. Well I have to make a few phone calls and finish my wash and prepare dinner while the baby is sleeping. Talk to you all later !!

 

[TiggerKing]

Jeff: Wendy gave you the same suggestion I would have given. I believe that the computers in the Internet Lounge allow you to print for a charge per page, but I would just wait until I got to the airport to do the reprint!

I know why it has been fairly quiet lately, no Mutt and Woo postings!

I didn't realize that aobut the airport reprint. I was thinking I had to PRINT them not just check in (duh) I travel pretty much once a week or so via air, you'd think I'd have figured this out by now!

I have been a pot of navy beans and ham with buttermilk biscuits dripping with butter and honey for dinner. Decided we needed a change around here tonight.
Also some sugar free cinnamon rolls for dessert.

Jeff, what kind of work do you do? I do finance and accounting consulting and had that kind of travel last year. Fortunately, I changed firms last fall and my travel has been minimal due to a good intown client base! (And yes, you should have known about the reprints )

LOL - I know I should have known. I actually launched my own PR/Writing/Marketing Communications consulting firm last October - yep coming up on a year in biz for myself! My travel comes in "clumps" as it seems my clients all want to see me at the same time. And I don't have a single client in the Pittsburgh area. Go figure. After today, however, I don't have another thing planned (knock wood) though I know another trip to Chicago is in the offing...just don't know when. You should check out my website. www.duroskoPR.com and feel free to refer any biz my way.

Good Night All,

Good Evening Nana Heads!!!



Lynn - your little guy is so cute. Can't wait to meet him.

Shell, Lynn and Linda -- We (4 of us) are booked for late seating, waitlisted for early. Can we link with the early dinner DISers or do we have to wait until we are onboard and try to switch our dinner time? I'm confused!!!

Okie -- Hope your mom is doing better. Go figure Medicare and it's strange quirks - - no in home treatment but pay for expensive nursing home care. We've been through this with Dave's mom who has been in a nursing home for almost 2 years.

Wendy -- I'm sure you and other Saints fans are so pumped up! Do you remember a young Saints rookie (2003-2004?) by the name of Spencer Frederick? He's no longer on the team or playing pro ball, but his brother is an attorney in our office.

Lucinda -- Thinking of you and your daughter.

Reading the post by Jeff and a couple others about watching the race on Sunday -- I assume you meant Nascar. Reminds me of our last cruise (9/05), when one of the DISers brought a satellite radio and a bunch of us met on the 7th secret deck to listen to the race that weekend.

Ralph's World -- Do any of you moms or dads know who he/they are? I'm going with my daughters and 4 gks to see him/them in Ann Arbor in early December. I'll have to find out in advance what/who he/they are.

I've been getting more Christmas shopping done. Went to Gymboree last night and told the salesperson that I was on a "mission". Six outfits - one for each of my six grandkids. I was able to get a lot of the clothes on sale and I'll give my DD the Gymboree bucks.

Have a great evening everyone!

LOL Jan - You really couldn't be further from the truth. i am definitely NOT a nascar fan. Had to work the auto racing circuit very early in my career as a young PR guy and let's just say i didn't grow to love it. But to each his own. The one thing I will say about NASCAR in particular is that they have really done a solid marketing job, especially over the past 5-10 years. I was talking about the TV Show "the Amazing Race" on CBS.

 

[JanDave]

Jeff -- the LOL is on me! I admit my knowledge of TV shows is zero. I'm a news junkie. I can't sit long enough to watch a TV show or I fall asleep during the show. I'm not a Nascar fan nor do I watch Nascar races, but it was cool to be sitting on a deck chair on the Magic, gazing at the stars in the ocean listening to Nascar. I agree, Jeff, Nascar has had successful and profitable marketing.

Evening all.....

Well I know its late, but DH was running a virus scan. So that delayed me getting on.

Had a really crappy afternoon at work. Some patient called my supervisor to complain about me.... Oh well, I did nothing wrong he didnt want to take responsible for his mistake & was trying to blame it on his 4 year old and me. Now when a 46 year old man tries and puts the blame on a 4 year old.....what the heck is up with that?

Watching dancin with the stars....boy did they give Mario a bad review....I thought he was good, but then again, I'm not a dancer nor do I know the rules.

Will be back later to keep up the posts

Jan - i'm the same way. I'm a former journalist so when I have the tv on and the kids aren't around, news is what I am watching (unless Pitt is on playing basketball). The Amazing Race is actually the ONLY Tv show I make a point to watch because it is almost like a travelogue from around the world. I actually record it if I'm not around.

 

[disneediva]

Jan, yeah we are pretty excited down here. We needed that win and it being against Atlanta only made it sweeter(sorry Bob) . It was so strange coming home from work that afternoon and driving through the neighborhood, and we have quite alot of FEMA trailers still, seeing everybody outside with the TV's on getting ready for pregame. Gotta love the south.

Don't worry Jan if you need any TV info I am a television junkie I watch and TIVO everything.My brain is a virtual well of useless knowledge

Off to bed have work early tomorrow
Wendy

 

[DutchsMommy]

Kathy - that dinner sounded amazing! Hope it was really good.

Wendy - Did I read your post right - TVs outside?? Do they just pick them up and move them to the porch? And why is FEMA still there, I imagined it would be more construction and stuff....sorry to sound like such a dim bulb!

Count us in as un-Nascar fans - we just aren't into it...although we really want to see Talladega (sp?) Nights. DH just installed Torrent - not sure if anyone uses it - downloading movies etc? Anyway, it seems pretty cool. DS was watching Cars this morning before school. I think we can just load one of the movies onto a jump drive and DS can watch itin the car on my laptop on the way to school. I want to buy a portable DVD player (we had a player built in to the old car (minivan ugh!) but don't have one in the new car but I have just been to cheap to buy one - even though you can get one up here for about $120.

Just finished watching House - God I love that show Ian Lorrie cracks me up. I don't get to watch too much TV either - just House if I can catch it and CSI when I can. We even have PVR (like Tivo) and I am thinking of cancelling because I really havn't used it - other than to record the WEGs (World Equestrian Games) last month because the person who owns the barn I ride at was riding. Oh well....life is just so busy.

Had a few leads on the job hunt. It is just such a bad time of year - our fiscal year end is Oct 31 so everyone is finalizing their investment plan for 2007 right now and nobody knows for sure how much $$ they will have to spend on resources. Once Nov 1 rolls around and everybody has $$ again all is well...but until then I am kinda in limbo. Oh well, I'll get a new job and then leave for a week and a half vacation just 3 weeks in - nice Oh well....it wasn't my idea to cancel my darn project anyway - $80MM down the drain OK, enough work-based ranting!

Denise - sorry to hear about your day. That seems so strange!! Some people really shouldn't be parents! Hope your supervisor was on your side!

Jan - I have never heard of 'Ralph's World' - sorry! Kinda strange as I am pretty hip on all things pre-school LOL

Hope everyone has a great night - tomorrow is our project wrap up party (the wake as we are calling it ) so it should be a pretty easy day at work (although I will have to watch my sarcastic mouth and make sure I do NOT drink any wine or I may experience a career limiting move ).

Nighty-night
Sarah

PS - I'm sending out an APB on Lampy and Runa

Edited to add:

Oh crap - I used every smilie BUT the nanas duh!

 

[DutchsMommy]

Our tickers are now at the ONE MONTH and xxx days countdown now WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LindaBabe]

WEll, not much to say, but let me give our thread the early morning bump up. We had a neighborhood association meeting tonight and they always get me stirred up so I don't sleep very well. So, here I am, too darn early!

Kathy, I wish I'd been at your house for dinner!

Happy day, all!

 

[JanDave]

Good Morning Nana Heads!!!

Wendy: I had a good laugh this morning when you wrote:

My brain is a virtual well of useless knowledge

My co-workers tell me I am a wealth of useless information.

No coffee for me until I have a blood test this morning. Cholesterol check. Glad I'm getting the test done now and not post-cruise.

Have a great day!

Jan

 

[LindaBabe]

Good Morning, All!

JanDave, why don't you try linking and see if that enhances your chances of early dining?

Homeowners Association meeting last night, so I don't sleep. Today's going to be a LONG day. Gotta stay awake gotta stay awake!
