okay,
first off, i am having a hard time finding a package deal to vegas that would be both flight and room... so far flights out there run abt 250 a person, and room for 4 nights at the IP is around 136 each.
flight to dublin for a week would be around 293.66.. hotel/b+b/hostel/car hire TBD
what is your vacation CB?
Kill reality is on right now, and if you have EVER watched any reality TV, (we are the reality addicts), it should prove to very entertaining.
We are off to buy a dehumidfier for the cellar. Such an exciting day.
Our back yard smells like Irish Spring! i have little pieces of soap hanging all over the back yard to keep the deer from eating ALL our trees, vegetables and flowers. Apparently they dont like the smell of the soap. i'll keep you all posted on the success of soap.
has anyone been watching "kill reality"? its on E!, i've been watching it when i see it while flipping channels. how did this show get by my radar? its 20 or so reality stars of shows past trying to reclaim 15 more minutes. rob cesterino from survivor, jenna from the 1st survivor, a bunch of real world people, johnny fairplay, some bachelor and bachelorette people, some apprentice and amazing race people. they are all living in the same house while they are shooting. very "real world" like... johnny fairplay has been hooking up with tanya from the real world... its like real world road rules challenges without the challenges..
last night we had the coolest thunder and lightning storm. it sounded like it was right ontop of my house. soooo cool! i was hoping the power would go out. but it didn't. the cable did though.
since my 30th birthday is a little over 6 months away, i decided now is as good a time as any to start thinking about what to do to celebrate.... i'm open to suggestions...
also. my parents 32nd anniversary is in two days. does everyone get their parents a gift for their anniversary? i am always torn about this holiday.. i can understand a card and or/phone call, but isn't that a celebration that they should have with each other. it's not like me and my sisters were around when they were married, or had anything to do with them getting married... i can see where if you were the reason your parents had to get married, celebrating it, but i always feel like its not a holiday i should be concerned with... anyone else have feeling about this?
ooooh. i almost forgot to post this picture...
alecia sent me a picture of lori last week, and i haven't had a chance to post it yet... she looks so cute! lori and kevin are having a baby girl. i think alecia said they are naming her riley elizabeth.. she has one more month to go! kids, keep sending me updates!!
this is one of the reasons i went to oswego. this kind of sunset was a daily (well, nightly) occurance.
so peg hahn burns figured out blogger!!! so i added her blog to my links! woo who. maybe she will add members so that anyone that took pics this weekend can add their pictures and stories.
i made it home in under 5 hours. i was pretty psyched. i should travel on mondays all the time.. i have the house to myself tonight and as i was putting away my presents to myself from wegmans i saw that i have 1/2 a bottle of bloody mary mix. so i spun around and saw we have plenty 'o vodka... so i poured myself a stiff drink just to make sure i won't be any sort of productive tonight..
it worked!
i am torn abt whether or not to turn my a/c on i heard on my drive home that the weather is supposed to be 60 tonight, but i am sweating, but it might be the 1/2 pint glass of vodka...
i think i might just turn the ac on so that i can ensure a good nights sleep. shiiiiiit.
i'm going to download my pics now.. and then maybe i'll post them.
so it's monday morning, i'm in syracuse.
this weekend was the family reunion. lots of fun. the "younger" kids are all growing up and having their own babies. there were 2 babies there this time, kayla (mary's daughter 2.5 years old) and ava (kristas daughter 11mos old). kayla was sooo cute... she is talking, but a little shy.. she LOVED frankie and lucy. but only lucy was really tolerant enough to let kayla hold her and pet her.
some highlights of the reunion:
* carolyn blowing up the air mattress. she tried to play dumb so someone else would blow it up for her... hah, we showed her.
* the spread was like the rest of the years. three taco dips. and one taco casserole. a million and 2 desserts, this year there was sweet tea. soo goood.
* sarah and jr kept the public making out to a minimum. but.... they seemed to have replaced it with smoking. they are almost chain smokers. apparently they both want to die of lung cancer like nanny and papa.
other notable weekend happenings:
* i slept in the tv room last night on the couch (even though i told al i would sleep upstairs and even made up sarahs bed for myself) well. it was my worst night of sleep. my nightgown kept twisting all around me, the A/C kept turning on and off, acid reflux, allergies, and the police scanner was on all night. i heard about every police worthy incident.. officers calling in plate numbers, po-po being dispatched to places all over, ambulance calls... grrrrr.
* there were the usual random dogs that showed up, two black labs and one mini-greyhound. franklin gave that greyhound a run for its money.... hysterical.
*franklin is apparently having repercussions from eating crappy people food all weekend (puking and bloody stool).
i went shopping at wegmans and got some good stuff, salt potatoes, rings, and spreadable limburger cheese. yummmm!
i learnt about a wine tour that is happening on sept 24th. it leaves from syracuse on a bus, drives 2 hours out to the wineries, breakfast, and all kids of alcohol are provided. the tour of something like 12 wineries, and then the bus ride home. all for $25 dollars. shiiiiit.
i'm gonna do it.. wooot!
