Friday, all day woohoo
I'm sorer than expected based upon previous go-rounds, but alive. The idea of no bath or shower until Sunday is somewhat disturbing. Thank God for dry shampoo & the warming temps we'll get this weekend for a respite from the single digits.
Two-edged sword though. We have a five mile ice jam on the river. Basically translates to impending doom. River is up over 10 feet, glad i live a mile up on the ridge but feel for those who are holding their breath yet again. Minor flooding last week where they evacuated the traditional low lying areas.
Oh I agree Keisha, the referees can make or loose a game. I am not a huge Eagles fan. I bleed more black and orange. Not a peep from those Fly boys. Oh well, someday for them. But hey, from the same state. And a hehe, little one was wearing a Penguin shirt the other day. The clerk didn't want to serve her. Both my kids have Pitt teams jerseys and shirts. We are a sports family, not just fans of the home town ones. Hope your minor surgery goes quick and painless.
Eek, working tonight Chuckers. It will be a long day for ya.
Is it lunch time yet?
My kids all have alternate teams in various sports, wear their jerseys all the time, sometimes when we are playing them. Always said they are risking getting their butts kicked but none have ever reported an issue. Could be because they or others in their party are built like offensive linemen
Trey and I are enjoying our snow day doing a Jurassic Park marathon in honor of the 25th anniversary...I still like the first one best and why can't I see the T Rex without thinking of plunging down a big hill and getting soaked?
Lol, it's a sickness we share. Looking forward to new movie?
I was totally NOT expecting the soaking I got on that ride last week. I chose the middle seat, second row because it was totally dry. (The boat had come back empty so that may have been the reason). When we went down, the 4 people in the front row ducked and I was soaked. It took me over 3 hours to dry because there was no sun that day.
At Universal Hollywood, they have the ability to change the level of soaking and they show you on a 'soak scale' at the entrance to the ride. I thought UO would be able to do that and tone it down because it was horrible weather.... apparently they can't.
Interesting, never heard that. Leave it to la-la land.
The level of soaking varies, sometimes we barely get wet and others we are totally drenched. It might have something to do with the weight of the boat and passengers or where you sit or like your experience with people ducking...who knows? It's fun whatever happens
The mr is full of it, advice too
. One his best nuggets was to slide my butt forward on all water rides to point where you almost slip off the front. All the seats are sloped & have drainage holes so the water tends to quickly pool/drain there. Process better without a 'plug'
Chuckers I really do like the JP river ride but sometimes I take a pass on it when I see a lot of peeps come off it drenched
I don’t care is my hair gets dripping wet
I can’t handle walking around the parks with wet underwear/socks
I can't help but use the magic word again: commando
The other is wicking, as in material. All my unmentionables are made of it, along with most of my park clothing. Top it off with keen sandals & I'm bullet proof.
@macraven Yeah.. wet underwear sucks... but I wear Sketchers GoWalks and they are meant to be worn sockless. They dry pretty fast too... I walked in them all 7 days and not one blister. They're amazing.
Like my croc sandals well enough but gave up on clogs years ago other than house slippers...they are blister magnets. Never one or aching feet with my beloved Keens. Lol. They have lighter weight ones that can be used easily in waterparks/snorkling but still have great support.
Oh my our downstairs is freezing...except the kitchen with the aga on.........
Most of the windows are open as painters have glossed everywhere.........wow, strong smell! I’m moving into the kitchen for the next few hours........and closing the doors.......
It is so cold outside..........winds still quite strong though but snow is gone........I need heat!
Home made beef burgers and potato wedges for dinner tonight.........DS is having mac n cheese.....definitely eating in the kitchen tonight as dining room is one of the rooms reeking of paint.........
Few hours to go yet till dinner........feeling peckish today! I blame the cold........
On a positive note, you'll have that healthy fresh air in the house. Wonder if they are using oil based paint with all the smell. Most latex ones have little stink factor.
Try cutting a few onions in half, don't peel. Put on a plate & leave cut side up. It tends to help somewhat.
Mr Mac had his colonoscopy scheduled for this day
We got to the hospital at 8:15 and you know how that goes
Paper work then sit in this room, go to that room for changing and have IV put in
Finally they haul him away for the procedure
Glad they have WiFi here that works
Keeps me awake
Without morning coffee I am slow moving
Hope he is released soon as I want to go to Waffle House
He will be ready to eat since yesterday was only liquids
This has got to have been one of my busiest weeks in years
Week's almost over, designate next one as a personal holiday!
Was he a good patient? The mr was on a restricted diet for a few days still after his recent procedure. Wasn't exactly thrilled, was jonesing for red meat which was off the table for over a week. I'd feel the same me thinks.
Oh-so not a waffle/pancake house type. Do like a good diner. For some reason the coffee seems crazy hot & blessedly strong in those joints! Not fancy, just good. Last thing i ever have a hankering for
unless it's my own Belgium waffles. I go for the meat/eggs/taters when indulging.
