Momoffive aka Loretta

Do I have permission to post the pictures? JK ! LOL!! Yes to Marty's right we have.....

Oh what a wonderful evening!!

ANd now to figure out uploading to photobucket.

I am so late to this

But I had a great time

Thanks to all the WWW for the entertainment. I am the quiet one but had a great time.

A great big thanks to Lou and Gretchen I had a blast.

Carol for all the planning and hard work setting up, I will gladly help out for next year btw

To KFK and Marty best travel fiends!!!

Finally uploading the pictures from my phone. Already asked for a new camera and laptop for my birthday.

What do you mean digital scrapbook? I am hoping by the end of the summer to just start getting 14 years of photos in books....and I haven't printed any since 2004. UGH! I want to make playable digital memories for each of the kids.

Marty... Please never say you screamed like a Justin Bieber fan ever, ever again. (even though you did)

My girls would agree. One should not mention his name.

Big Fan here. Our next trip is this Fall! I guess I know what I want to shop for!

The Flagstaff is the same as Rockwood, same factory and designs. We have the Rockwood 2317G which is the same as the Flagstaff 823D. Similar to what you are looking at. The good news is that if you buy right, you can save up to 35% off the list price. We paid $9800 for our 2013, down from $15,354. Discounts are deep now. Especially at the end of the month and they need the sales. We're pretty happy with the unit, other than the water outlet position.

We are a family of 7 and I loved the layout of Curt's PUP! I have been looking ever since. I am not necessarily looking for a bathroom but I wouldn't rule it out. Curt's are great and no BR. Had even more room with just 2 of in it for the WWW.

Love the pictures Carol and Nicki!!

And yes the visiting couple

Shhhhh!!! Do not tell her sista!

So I showed Matt the campground. There are sites available. Still waiting to find out when the SIL baby shower will be. Hoping not until June but we'll see. Looks like a ton to do and see. I may have to make it a weekend without him and just bring the girls.

Ok I have to figure out how to get my pics off my phone. The best ones are MPR so unless I get the OK they stay there. LOL

I have to start my TR on Wednesday evening. I work 15.5 hour shifts so it was a looong night. Wednesday night was my TGIF!!! Thank goodness it was a light night and my charting was done before bed. Had lots of errands to run and got everything in except a nap!!

Planned to leave at 7 PM to pick up fiend #1 Marty in SC.....at Waffle House. On record that was her idea! As soon as she suggested it, weeks earlier, I decided I wanted a Belgian Waffle with strawberries and a cup of coffee. Well Waffle House is NOT the place for that!

Like Marty said I was early, she was early and we were only minutes apart. We got to the WH almost an hour early. I got to meet Big John and all 4 of Marty's handsome boys. Tall handsome boys!

After a very disappointing pre-travel breakfast we were off to Columbia to meet Fiend 2. Pretty much non stop chat all the way there. Marty got the pleasure of driving with me at night...a very rare occurrence.

A brief shopping stop in Wallie World for some extras for the ride and we were only a few miles from the train station.

Plenty of parking. Backed into a spot and within a couple of minutes we noticed "the car" How did we know it was her? Well the stickers on the back windows of course. KFK was in the lot!!!

We all met in the parking lot at almost 12.15 AM!!! Long lost friends!

I'll end this with saying it is torture counting down 90 minutes in a cold train station in the middle of the night! but great with new friends!

Well… You know, we need to keep it to plus one.

All of us, and one single rider.

We'll indoctrinate him as Honorary Fort Fiend for the Afternoon.

And kidnap him.

And feed him margaritas.

And introduce him to others as our pet.

Ask Marty. I think Mitch would work! He'll go anywhere!

Woo hoo. Soon we can be singing Hail Hail the gangs all here!!!!!!

I'm so excited!!! I have to stop saying it and get my **s in gear and pack!!! So much to do in the morning. I am the procrastinator queen!

Oh, and instead of a massage, I have my 10yob beat on my back with his fists. LOL

SO that is what I need to do!!!

I will try that. Actually I love to have my one son play with my hair. I tell him I need a ponytail but it needs to be tight. Best 10 minutes os a day.

Waiting until Wednesday to do nails. Going with my Mom.

Outfits still piled on my chair next to my bed. Time to catch a few zzzzs Don't want to be a waste come Thursday!

Didn't get up until almost 12 so late start on the laundry. Kids will be home in almost 2 hours, ugh! BUT....I have a pile of outfits on my bed. Now to decide.

I have 5 hours until I start work again. Hoping to get some stuff done between calls.

Countdown is on:

3 more work shifts to go...this one only has 5 hours left

I went shopping today. Kids lunches are taken care of for the week and next week too.

He has dinner options to pick but it is up to him to get it together.

Some laundry was done and a few more things added to my bag. Still have a lot to do.

Printer is acting up so I can't print my train tickets...but Marty did!!

Nails, and massage are in order Wednesday I think.

4 Days to Go Wild Womenz!!!

What did you do today?

I guess I can "plan" a couple meals. Mom and Dad can come over to be here when they get home from school...she'll get dinner ready. That means Matt will be on his own Sat and Sun!

Sloppy Joes

Ham in Crock Pot...Dave's recipe = great

Chicken and rice

Pizza

There DONE!!

Do I have to put it all together too?

Probably. oh well that's what I do.

So should I add baking to my pre trip trip report? We'll see how my week goes. But Lou it may not make it there, we have a 9 hour train ride, LOL

Thanks girls, work is killing me, I have to lay off 30 people over the next 2 weeks, but our work load has increased.. go figure. I'm selling salt water in the damn dessert.

What Nicki said. Bless your heart!! :hugs2:

If I have room for a hula hoop you have room for a pie! LOL

What kind of pie Lou?

Off work for most of the night tonight, but I will have to pick up later after most of the calls die down. But I will start to pack as I fold laundry. Fold and pack.

The GODS are working against me... Nine days to figure it all out, please cross the fingers, toes, eyes and what ever else you have, little prayers are ok to

Judy keeping all extremities crossed and praying you have the plan and way to figure it all out so you can get your PJ butt flap to Orlando!!!!

Loretta don't forget to give him the number for the Chinese place that delivers

LOL He would just take them to the buffet! I think they would kiss his feet to go there. I am so not in the mood to prep meals! I will end up doing it but maybe PB and J for the weekend with some marshmellow fluff for a treat may be in line. I just better not come home to more housework. I have started to redo the entire house. Switched furniture in 3 rooms and added the furniture from the other house too. Still a lot to do but I will get most of it done before I leave.

Pulled one bag down from the closet. Must decide which other bag I may need.

Went thru my audible books to pick the ones I want (may) to listen to.

Hid my Kindle so neither of my boys takes it and hides it from me.

started a meal plan for Matt and the kids.....directions to Little Ceasars, Cook Out and Grandmas!!

I met Karen!!! Looking forward to seeing her again!! Just so y'all know my friend Missie will be picking Marty Kim and I up at the train station and then hanging with us on Friday too. She may even come back and join us for the MK. This time last year I was in Orlando for Missie's Dad's funeral. Missie is like a sister to me and her parents were more like my inlaws than my inlaws. Love them dearly. Counting the hours now!!!

Liking the forcast!! We don't usually have long bouts of cold, but it has been cold here the last week or so. Almost 80 one day and then down into the 30s and 40s. Loving your countdown KIM!!!
