Something About Nothing ... #12

[pattyw]

Hi all! Well- a double whammy to our Orlando trip to see the kidault! DH has back issues and the kidault has a stomach bug! So we decided to postpone the trip for a couple of weeks! Thank goodness for Southwest and the no change fees! We'll try again on May 3!

Buckeev- have a fun time in Orlando!

Charade- Hope you're feeling better today.

agavegirl- the end of tax season nears!! hang in there!

schumi- have a great dinner!

Robo- best wishes on a speedy recovery! I love all the minion pictures!

Lynne- you find the best camel pictures! and thx for the minion pictures while Robo mends!

Hubby and I are keeping our vacation days to do some much needed tasks around the house- so off to Home Depot we go!

Have a great Wednesday to all you guys!

 

[Lynne G]

Oh no, Patty has reported there are 2 in sick bay. Hoping your DH's back feels better fast, and kid over that bug too. So glad you could push back your trip a few weeks. Yes, one reason I really like Southwest, as sometimes I do change. Say it ain't so, stay at home vacation doing work? LOL Two vacation times, yep, I'd be on that, even if at home, though I may not be doing any house work. LOL




Walk at lunch started out cool, but by the time I was done, almost warm. Lovely sun is trying to get around those puffy white and gray clouds. Coffee in hand, and all is well.

 

[Monykalyn]

quick check in-
Walking wounded indeed-hope all are recovering now (shoutout-robo)
Finally warming up a bit, but that is setting us up for severe (ie tornado) weather. At least we see sun some days.
DS got hit by the awful cold bug. Coughing, aching, now c/o chest hurting - thinking it is due to nonstop cough but last time he did this, he quit deep coughing and ended up with pneumonia...he's home today with DH.

Oh no patty-postponing trip sounds like maybe for best though.

Love the kidult word too-but I can't take credit-got it off the parents DCP group page on facebook. Does perfectly describe the late teens/early 20's age though.

Love the minions/memes! Keep 'em coming!

 

[ckmiles]

Please excuse my barging in-

but I wanted to let you all know I LOVE all the Minion memes! They totally make my day!

 

[pattyw]

Monyk- sick DS too? Hope he mends soon!!

Yes postponing sounds better- hopefully will be able to enjoy my son when he feels better. DH is going to the chiro tomorrow.

Love the kidult word! whoever first thought it up!

Keep the minions coming!

 

[schumigirl]

Patty, sorry you’re having to postpone your trip.......but least it’s just postponed........glad you can change flights over there with no penalty! Hope you can still enjoy your days off.........

ckmiles.........not barging in at all.......lovely to see you here..........

Robo

Quite the Wacky Wednesday here . On a positive note it’s almost over - yea!

Yep- we can tell from all the stuff that is knocked over !!



Orlando!!to visit younger one in CP. So, no Universal parks this time

Yep- we don't go to Canada as much as in the past because of the lines at the border and security. In fact we had't gone in years- just started going back- border security lines have gotten a little faster.

I'm sure you're not sketchy just got the over zealous ones!

It's funny the questions they ask. The other day when we were going to have our Chinese dinner, they come to the car and see it's the two of us and take our ID, ask where we're going, and then he asks "is it just the two of you for dinner- are you meeting anyone?" Hubby says No, just us. He waves us on. I felt really bad like he thinks we have no friends!!

One trip we just had 5 y.o. DS in back seat. When we crossed into USA was asked if he had anything to declare as to alcohol while staring at an open 24 box of Pepsi sitting on back seat next to him. He looked at him & asked if we were his parents. There was the longest, awkward silence & he asked him again. DS, shy kid, squeaked out a “yes”. I was not amused. We had to giggle tho, my older two smartie pants kids would probably have said nope, never saw them.

19 MONTHS?!?! Nope. I cant even imagine. Oh the dog... Gosh. It might not be so hard if it were our dog together... But he got this dog when he(micah) was 15 and I didn't come into the picture until the dog was about to turn 15! So Micah is gone and the dog is left with me... Hes just recently gotten out of the funk hes been in since October. I'm about to be gone for 2 weeks I suspect the funk will come back when I get back. And I'm not talking about the way he smells. Why do old dogs stink?!?! I think a selfish part of Micah hopes he doesn't have to be the one to put him down, but obviously the loving selfless side of home wants to be there for his buddy. And now I'm tearing up. Here's a picture for smiles

New baby, thats fun. Glad shes sleeping better for moms sanity.

If Micah isn't back by September trip I'm going to be super depressed. The hurricane tried to cancel last years trip (the engagement) and it better not cancel our HES HOME celebration! (Because I can't have a hes home celebration alone......)
We'll be doing engagement (haha) pictures whenever he gets home and then yes I'm sure I'll be back with wedding pictures whenever I get them in.

Universal Hotels are annoying me today... or maybe I'm just in a really bad mood.
Their new youfirst rules are different than the regular youfirst rules and I'm pretty annoyed. I tried to call to get my upgrade for PBH 1 night stay and apparently because the category I'm booked at is all full they cannot upgrade me despite the fact that the room I want to upgrade (bay view) is open at my promo rate. So now you have to have your category AND the upgrade category both open at the promo rate. Used to be that it was just the upgrade at your promo had to be available. And if you're booking the last of the promo room type online you're SOL unless you call. Now I know I have to call to book. I should be near platinum soon. Forgot to ask youfirst earlier and they were closed when I called back. The youfirst person I talked to the first time was very apologetic and obviously very frustrated by universals rules. He said nothing he can do through because they play by their own rules....

My APH also expired earlier this year because the site glitched. I renewed (or thought I did) online and I THOUGHT it went through. I never got an e-mail or anything and honestly forgot.... Come to find out my pass expired and I was never charged. It honestly was okay and why I never contacted them.... I realized I wouldnt be using my pass for nearly 8 months anyways... was just one of those REALLY? Moments. Now no one can upgrade online. Have to call or go in person.

On the disney side of things I think this is my last year as an APH for a while. Giving it a break until a year or so after Star Wars opens I think. Too busy... I cant imagine dealing with the SW crowds.

It was that way last May for us. Keep plugging away, it worked out a month or so later. Even ‘funner’ hoops in place trying to secure the platinum suite upgrade last year.

Aside from increased platinum blackout dates that are kept akin to state secrets (why not just publish them or do they make them up as they go?!?) The suites seem to be in shorter than usual supply. To their credit they do tend to offer upgraded room categories.

ARE YOU KIDDIN' ME!? An ACTUAL TD09 SIGHTIN"!!!!
HOWDY 'LIL BIT!

WOOOOOWHOOO!!! MY DAY IS 150 % better now!
(...plus, we're headin' to Orlando in the mornin'!!!)
Oh the life of a military family. Dad was in the USCG for 19 1/2 years. He was out-to-sea usually for 6 months at a time during most of those years, except for the late 60s, when he got to visit beautiful beaches of Vietnam. (Well, a few hundred yards offshore of the beaches.) He had incredible stories to tell, I shouldda had him write a book.



Well...That's a relief. (Or at least it would be for us at this stage of our life!!!)

Safe trip, enjoy!

Aw, stinks.

3 helpings of this plus two homemade milkshakes later the boy is feeling a lot better. Per dh and son he slept most of day/ clearly he needed the day off. 2 crockpots and rice cooker = easy dinner.

Nice weather today and better tomorrow before tornado threat Fridayand possible snow flurries on Sunday. MO weather is crazy but this usually happens in March, not April
And Princess Aurora checking out egg collection today. Sat down outside and of course she saw a lap to cuddle up in - we’ve decided she was a dog in her previous life- a lap dog: she responds when talked to, she begs, she jumps into and snuggles when you sit, and she talks when you ignore her LOL

 

[Charade67]

Hmm...thought I had posted this morning. Guess I was imagining things. I have a few minutes to spare while waiting for B to get out of tap class. Nothing interesting to report here. I was so bored at work today that I started reorganizing the file cabinet. Speaking of work, I am astounded at how many people are willing to hand me their credit card for payment and then walk away. Today I had a lady who was willing to leave her card with me while she was in her therapy session. Um...no. Especially since I was planning to go to lunch before her session was over. Then I had a new client, someone who I've never even seen before, offer to let me photocopy his credit card. I was trying to figure out what he owed and it was taking some time. He was willing to let me have a copy of his card and just charge it when I figured out the bill. Then at 3:00, just as I am about to leave, a client came in, tossed her card on my desk, and then went to the bathroom. I appreciate that people trust me so much, but I do not want to be responsible for their credit cards.

Patty - So sorry to hear your trip is getting postponed. Mine almost got derailed in December due to strep throat. Hope you family members are feeling better soon.

MonyK - Hoping you have a tornado free season. Get well wishes to your son.

ckmiles - Welcome!

More get well wishes for Robo.


I am trying to post with the cat sitting in front of the monitor. This is what I get for trying to use the desktop.

Buckeev


Have a safe trip and the fun-est family vacation

If I see a plane in the sky, I’ll assume it is your flight and will wave

Do wave back

 

[Charade67]

Our fun week continues. B had a slip and fall at tap class tonight. She managed to both fall on her rear and scrape her knee. She says she feels okay. I hope she isn’t too sore in the morning.

 

[Lynne G]

And the sore and sick list is growing.

Hope B feels better. A fall is never fun. Hope no bruising and the scrape was not deep.

Ready for bed. Rain to stay away until Sunday afternoon. Then over 2 inches of rain with thunderstorms and high winds will continue overnight. Will be a nasty Monday. And will end our warming streak. Kinda fitting for a Monday.

Here is hoping the rain is not during the soccer game Sunday late morning.

Okay, this early bird is bushed, have a peaceful night homies.

And Mac must have sent out the homie signal. So nice to hear from those homies that we had not heard a peep from for awhile.

Boring news, I am outta here.

They're all my flights. Well, it only seems like I've booked eleventy-billion flights over the last 6 months.

Mrs. Buckeev and I have decided we're all gonna just check into RPR and sleep for 3 days.

[schumigirl]

Happy Thursday all.........

Hope everyone poorly feels better soon........

It`s freezing.

Fed up with miserable weather now..........grey and misty with added misty rain and barely 39F.




Been out shopping, not going back out today........

 

[Lynne G]

Sending sun to Schumi. We get some nice Spring weather for today. High of 70 and so happy to be in nice weather.

Will enjoy lunch with DS. Yep, late morning for me.



So throw back a drink and be happy, Friday will be here soon.
