Anyone Else Awake?

GloriosusEtLiber

Or is this too early for a morning thread? 

Good morning ladies! I'm super tired but was woken up early and I always have trouble getting back to sleep so here I am. I'll just run my errands early today and curl up on my couch for the afternoon. 

What are your plans for the day?

Morning!  I woke up about an hour and a half ago.  Somehow my body just won't let me sleep until at least 7.

We are going to a cookout today for our friend's birthday.  Hopefully the rain will hold off.  I have a couple packages of kilbasa I have to toss in some barbecue sauce and cayenne pepper, but I just can't bring myself to do it yet!

GloriosusEtLiber

Oh a cookout sounds fun! I'll be honest. I have no idea what kilbasa is though. 

HockeyFan4

heheh it was a typo...Kielbasa is Polish Sausage.

Morning. I'm planning on working out this morning and then FI and I are going out for lunch. I need to take time to figure out what wedding stuff I still need to do.

Cookouts are fun. It's too hot here for them right now unless there is a pool involved.

GloriosusEtLiber

Amen on the pool Petal! That's really what I wanted to do today but the forecast calls for rain for the best part of the day. Stupid weather. 

HockeyFan4

I am jealous of the house the main character has in the book I am reading.  He keeps talking about going out to his pool in his tropical oasis of a back yard.

I just looked at the weather....scattered thunderstorms starting at noon, with constant rain through the afternoon and muggy as all heck!  I wonder if I should bother with the kielbasa. 

PetalPockets2012

I have only been to a pool when we went away for a few days. Our next house needs a pool. I miss living in apartments because there was always a pool available.

GloriosusEtLiber

Hockey, 1) I am now thinking I want to add "owning an oasis of a backyard" on my list of things I must do in life. 2) Would you eat this kielbasa even if there was no cookout? 

HockeyFan4

we have a pool at our condo...but H won't go in it.  I have only been twice this summer.  It is not the same as having your own pool.

GloriosusEtLiber

Hockey, why won't he go in it? The pool at my complex is beautiful but there are always children so unless I get there around 10am, it's not very peaceful.

Petal, no pool?  I thought that would be a requirement for anyone who lives in Florida.  

HockeyFan4

I would eat the Kielbasa, but H said he is sick of it.  I only bought it because our friends like it, though no one usually brings it,  and I feel guilty going empty handed.  I will probably just put it in a crappy tupperware and it we don't grill our friend can keep it. hahaha

I've never had a pool and lived here my whole life. A lot of people don't have pools, even in all the nice country club developments.

MrsGandthebeag

My dh and I have talked about moving to FL, but a pool would have to be a requirement, unless we lived really close to the beach.  I've always lived close to the ocean.

Morning! I work today, blah. My cousin from Italy is getting married here in Toronto in a few weeks and i'm a bridesmaid. She got all the dresses for the BM's and I havent even seen it, she never sent a picture or anything. I dont know if I have to pay, traditionally in my family the bride/groom/whoever is paying for the wedding pays for the bridal party attire. I dont know if I should ask her if I have to pay or not, because we have a lot of expenses coming up and I need to budget.

The wedding is on the 25th and she still hasnt sent invitations out either, but shes here in Toronto right now so hopefully she gets a lot done.

GloriosusEtLiber

Yea, I thought the majority of houses in FL had pools. 

Wanna know something funny/odd? My grandmother is chatting with me on facebook. She's so tech savvy. 

Winnertag1

Glo - hah that is hilarious! My grandparents skype with their grandkids, its so funny cause my grandma has no idea what shes doing. My grandpa has facebook and I refuse to add him. 

GloriosusEtLiber

Dileni, I am sometimes shocked by the number of relatives I am friends with on FB. Also, I would be annoyed not knowing what I needed to pay for. I like to budget things out and having an unknown amount of money that I may or may not need to spend would drive me nuts.

I tend to avoid having too much family on my facebook because some of my extended family just lurk on facebook. My cousins and immediate family are fine but beyond that I dont really trust my extended family lol, they like to cause/make drama so they look for juicy information all over facebook & report back to the rest of their family. I try to stray away from that. 

HockeyFan4

If the wedding is in a few weeks, and she hasn't said anything, I am going to go with she is paying.

Hockey - thats what I was thinking as well, shes setting up appointments for the alterations as well, I was supposed to meet her yesterday to get fitted but the store ended up being closed. I just didnt want to show up at the appointment and have her ask me for the money and I end up being all clueless. But since she hasnt mentioned anything to this point, I dont think I have to worry about it.

Morning guys. I am hooooome! And it feels great. Mostly because it's like, 70 degrees instead of 100, love it. Today is the family pig roast, and then tomorrow i'm going to Canada's wonderland with my BFF. Excited!

Snippylynn

Morning! Sounds like you all have nice days ahead of you! 

I'm currently crazy exhausted, but we've had a great time here. I'm pissed that my brand new shoes from Naturlizer BROKE yesterday after only 4 wears. This is the second pair (of 2 that I have owned) of this brand that have done that. 

But on the bright side, I'm meeting MK today!  She is a total sweetheart who is driving all the way to freaking Richmond to meet us. Adorableness.

Winnertag1

Any - Welcome home Are you going to ride the new roller  coaster at wonderland? I grew up near there & worked there during high school haha. I havent gotten a chance to go this year tho but my friends who have been on the new roller coaster said that the Behemoth is better. 

HockeyFan4

Snippy I would try to return the shoes.  That sucks!  But I am glad you hare having fun!  Enjoy your day with MK!!!

Snippylynn

Yeah, I'm going to take them right back. I think I lost the damn receipt in all our moving around, but as far as I'm concerned they can take them back regardless.

PetalPockets2012

That's nice that you and MK are meeting up. I'm sure you'll have a great time.

Morning. Beach day with H and family today. Maybe some tax free weekend stuff later.

Lizzieyounce

Good morning.  I had every intention of sleeping in, too. My body clock just laughs, and laughs at me when I try.

Coffee is ready and my cat is actually on the couch with me.  She's been avoiding me recently, so I guess I've been forgiven for whatever she thinks I did.

HockeyFan4

Meg: what beach do you normally go to?
