Keisha you are hired.



Do you work for food?........I'll order out

 

[macraven]

Almost midnight.
I'll leave the light on for the homies........


don't want anyone to stumble and break a toe.

 

[tink1957]

Thanks mac, I'm now wide awake after falling asleep on the couch while watching TV.

Guess I'll talk to myself for now.


Good night all

Yes, girls and boys, it's Thursday. Yes,and the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and the thermometer showing in the low 80's today. Woot! No rain until Sunday, and even then, typical random thunderstorms. Lucky, most of the bad weather last night was South of me. Just South of me, thinking a tornado hit. Overturned cars and trees, some roofs missing. If it is confirmed to have been one, I assume a category 1. And also lucky, the high weather system won the fight with the low weather system, hence our beautiful weather streak. Weather guy says hot and steamy starting Sunday. Oh yeah, bring it on. Summer.

Good Morning homies. Rise and shine. Take a drink or two, coffee, tea, wine, beer, whatever hydrates you today. Thirsty Thursday it is.

Patty's count is 8.

lol mac...…..purple walls??? Hmmm......not sure about that...….we do have a pale lilac in our dining room...….the one we part papered....but you`d be more than welcome to try...…..free room and board!!! I`ve been told our spare guest rooms are divine to stay in...….

Just missed you this morning Vicki...….hope you got some sleep...…..usually I`m on my own at that time of the morning...…..talking to myself....

Janet, I don't do windows either...…..well, not the outside anyway.....because we burn candles a lot, I`m kinda forced to clean the insides more often than I`d like......my mother on the other hand, as I`m sure I`ve told you before, would relish washing them as she loves doing windows!!!! I keep saying when we visit, you`re 83 mum.....sit down!!! I missed that desire to work gene!!!!



It is blowing a hoolie here today...….wild and woolly!!! But warm and sun is shining....very strange.

Been grocery shopping and dropped off friends birthday gifts......she was thrilled. And even thrilled to join the 50 something club as I reminded her.....she knows I was kidding...……

Came back and our joiner had left some brochures for us as we plan to redo the downstairs bathroom. He has lots of guys work for him and a couple are plumbers, so although he will replace all the woodwork and build the cabinets we want, he gets the plumber to do the fitting. So will have a glance through them later.....would like that done before NYC, so hope he can fit us in.

Which is...……..4 weeks today till overnight at airport...…….

Have a great Thursday...………….

 

[Lynne G]

ooh, SW switched my October flight down from 7am to 6:30am. Won't complain. Just means I get up 1/2 hour earlier. 4am versus 4:30am is not a big deal to me. Means, I may have DH give me a ride rather than take the train. I don't think the airport train starts until 5am out my way. Nice, a little earlier time to check in at POP. Yep, visit the mouse for 3 days, well, 4, as I'll just get to RPR later, around dinner time, that check out day.

So, if any want to say hi somewhere in the mouse world, 1 to 4 October, just let me know. Otherwise, I'll be happy to say hello in the Dark Side from late 4 until lunchtime 12.

Schumi, I hope you get your bathroom stuff done before you leave. That would be so nice to see it changed, both before and after your trip. Yay! 4 weeks will be quick, I am sure.

 

[pattyw]

Hi everyone! Wow- it's been crazy this morning! Happy Thursday to all!! Another beautiful day here! Mother Nature is finally smiling on Western NY!!

Monyk- We just upgraded our AP's to Premier. Used the after 4 EP and it was nice! Allowed us to stay at Sapphire Falls!!

Lynne- We're at UO 9/28-10/6. We have to all get together! Yes- thx for the countdown 8 days!!!

Schumi- 4 weeks to go!! Yay! We keep missing each other on our trips, but I think Sept-Oct will work!

Off to my last physical therapy appt! My shoulder is almost at 100%!!

I’m a day behind again. Just wasn’t up to doing much yesterday. I didn’t sleep much the night before, so I ended up leaving work early. I went to the grocery to get something to make for supper then went home and took a nap. When I went to make supper I discovered that I had forgotten to buy one of the main ingredients. We were short on time so we just grabbed something quick out. I will attempt to make supper again tonight.

I will be leaving early again today. One of our therapists is out with the flu and the other doesn’t have any clients after 12. I can go home and get ready for my weekend trip to SC.

I am so envious of all of you making Orlando plans. Someone from church has offered their Orlando timeshare week free of charge. It’s tempting, but th timing isn’t really good right now. I’m also afraid that we would be forced to sit through a time share presentation. I never want to do another one of those.

 

[tink1957]

Good morning everyone

Charade...I can relate to the forgetfulness...I had to make a quick run to the tag office this morning because someone forgot to cancel the registration on Trey's old car when he traded it in
At least they waived the $25 fee.

The plan for today is to wash my car and clean it out...I have a bad habit of never throwing away my water bottles.

Looks like I'll be missing everyone again this year except Carole. I leave Pop on the 26th so I'll miss Lynne too Oh well, there's always next year.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day

 

[Lynne G]

Charade, timeshare presentations. That's a no from me as well. Have never sat through one, but never wanted to either. I keep getting Marriott offers, and they get trashed quickly. I hope tonight you get a better night's sleep. I can walk out the door with something hanging or next to it to take, and I forget. Yeah, have started a meal, then remembered we didn't have required ingredient. Not sure what's for dinner tonight. Maybe beef and broccoli, as I have some steaks at home, and will pick up the broccoli on the way home.

Tink, sorry as well, not to get to meet you this time. Maybe next year. Columbus Day is "late" next year, so I may very well just do last week of September and first week of October. If I go over Columbus Day, free Monday for me, so only have to use 4 days of leave. HeHe, the mom's time and money are always on the ready to clean up issues. Kids. Yep, no matter how old. And yay! they waived the fee.

Patty, I hope your shoulder is 100% quick. Glad to hear last therapy appt. And yes, will be very nice to say hello in person. I love that time of year to visit, the fall, as still warm, and all open, and I enjoy the Halloween decor.

With that walk was so nice, brisk breeze, sky blue and oh so bright, with close to 80 now. Ah, sweater back on, that AC is relentless.

Hey, tea cup, go get more tea. Later homies, the summer is almost here.

Afternoon all! Later than I realized- sleep in day today, Incredibles 2 this evening, possible a park after. Made FP for MK if we are up to it.
Hacking up a lung thanks to draining sinuses. Cold meds not cutting it this am, so after a quick Walmart run back to lazing in bed. Think we are all tired and ready to be home.

Having issues with the express pass not working on our APs. Spent hour at GS yesterday (the TM is an old DCP person too- and from closer to the time we worked there- I'm sure the people behind us were getting annoyed as we were chatting with him lol). Apparently there's a glitch in system right now with new Premier APs. So - he issued us all day EP for each day we are in the park- and after 4 we can still use our AP EP and then the one we are issued as extra if we choose. Will take advantage of that tomorrow. Didn't really have time to do stuff twice last night. We ate dinner at Cowfish, omg the milkshakes! Glad I split a burger with middle, boy didn't care for the "fancy" rainbow roll as much- liked the Caviar but not the spicy sauce on it. I didn't read the description closely or we would have just asked to leave that off. My boy likes the simple Nagiri of fish and rice. He also said one of the fish varieties wasn't as good (I agree- the rainbow roll we get from our fave place back home is better). He did manage to eat half of it though.

Lunch and off to Disney springs!

 

[Lynne G]

Sounds like you are still having fun MonyK. Hope you feel better soon. Glad to hear they fixed and mummy dusted due to your AP express issues. Yum, milkshakes, raw fish, not so much. May have to try Cowfish in October, I doubt little one would want to eat there when we come in August.

 

[keishashadow]

I can smell the weekend!

Gave pooch a bath today, then had to toss GD in shower as she smelled faintly of wet dog. Incomparable smell it is lol

Monyk most are miserable messes here with whatever allergies/pollen in the air. Despite RXs for both Flonase & eye drops, they are just not cutting it. Hope u get some relief.

Hey....I've known you since, when ...2004 or 5 ?
You were short back then and you are short now.


I'm 5' 3.5" barefooted and i had to look down at you last year.


I'm bringing a tape measure with me this year

Long as u don’t go horizontal i’m Good wit it lol

Keisha you are hired.



Do you work for food?........I'll order out

This army runs on it’s stomach

Almost midnight.
I'll leave the light on for the homies........


don't want anyone to stumble and break a toe.

Guilty as charged, think i may be approaching double digits but one of my little piggies is taped up after an unfortunate incident with a rouge air gun attacking it...only me

Thanks mac, I'm now wide awake after falling asleep on the couch while watching TV.

Guess I'll talk to myself for now.


Good night all

You’re in good company! Stinks to take a nap then have to stare @ the ceiling.

It’s my own fault for thinking I could go shopping without a list..And I was only buying for 2 nights.

Charade, timeshare presentations. That's a no from me as well. Have never sat through one, but never wanted to either. I keep getting Marriott offers, and they get trashed quickly.

Dh and I went to one years ago before B was born. I said never again. They were so high pressure. I would rather fay full price for a vacation than sit through one of those again.

 

[schumigirl]

Janet, it’s the same here........pollen is high......My eyes are so irritated tonight.

So tired tonight.........been a funny old day!

Spent a couple of hours on phone to a friend tonight..........nice to catch up.........

Now I’m almost ready for bed.........although 10.10pm and it’s not totally dark........

Got some workmen coming in the morning to make plans for downstairs bathroom........shouldn’t take long, have chosen everything that’s going in there. Then we go buy the new grass cutter thingy........lovely.

Have a good one..........

 

[tink1957]

Carole...hope you get some rest tonight and how exciting to get a new bathroom...maybe you can get them to model it after the one in the hospitality suite at RP.

Trying to watch tv during a thunderstorm which is supposed to last 2 hours according to accuweather and the game keeps going in and out. Gotta love directv.

Now Sasha is climbing in my lap at the latest thunder boom.

Have a great night everyone

 

[Monykalyn]

Lynne- there's a large selection of burgers as well-and they were delicious!! Perfectly seasoned, toasted bun mmmm

It’s my own fault for thinking I could go shopping without a list..And I was only buying for 2 nights.

Me. Every time. Must have list and must send dh with list- he still comes home with extras.

And how to get out of timeshares sales? Just pretend you own where we do- high trade power , 3 bed 3 bath-red week, free and clear owner ship and <$400 a year maintenance fees: have yet to see a TS presenter top that. Usually we are ushered out quickly with our gift lol!

Speaking of which-we have 4 extra certificates for weeks now, dh plotting return in August and now mid September!! Seeds planted grow...

Lol do you tell them you are starting your stop watch at the beginning of the free breakfast?

We only did one probably a decade ago. Sheraton sent us an offer of $199 all in for 3 nights @ the Vistana and our option of $100 cash or double that value attraction tickets with...drumroll please, no TS presentation required! Just had to agree to ‘meet’ with their rep in the lobby. No problemo, i’m immune to a hard sale, now a mostly-retired realtor. Already had at least one DVC purchase under my belt and was planning more.

They put us in their nicest area, Cascades. We kept an open mind until we drove around the whole resort and decided it just not at all for us. I knew enough to unplug the phone in the condo. Always said I wished U had a TS but have aged out at this point.

Next day a note placed on our door to please stop and see the rep & his hours. Took all of 10 minutes to walk out with my crisp $100 bill but he told me I was ‘black-balled’ from any future Sheraton TS offers. No loss there.

I'm up looking through the threads on where Bobbie68 is....
I need to keep track of my homies here...lol


Not on a trip yet is she?

She made a comment around June 6th about packing.....
