Reliving the 80's

MJMAC40 · Oct 22nd, 2006, 07:39 PM

Sorry don't have the hips/thighs to wear the tights...nor the waist for the big belts anymore....but....I can still go see Bob Seger in concert

I've got tickets for Indianapolis and also Louisville...this may be the last go around for him because if he waits 10 more years before he tours again he'll be 70 and I'll be ** (technical difficulties)...we sure ain't gettin' any younger but for a couple nights I can be transported back to my (lost) youth.....

I seriously wanted to go see Journey & Def Leppard when they came thru here a few weeks ago. But I don't think it woulda' been appropriate for a 9 month pregnant woman.

rahaha!

Hey everyone. Missed you all. I expect everyone to come out of the woodwork and bid me hello.

MJMAC40 · Oct 24th, 2006, 07:48 PM

I saw Def Lepperd/Journey here this past summer...it was FANTASTIC!

Congratulations on the new little one...how many is this?...it has been a while you know...haha. My little angels are 17 now...almost old enough to vote...

I think it would be good for all the OLD TIMERS to post an update now and then...hey I'm still reading along...

OH MY...a Genesis reunion tour....I can hardly wait!!

One old-timer checking in.....

Cali_1 · Oct 30th, 2006, 01:44 PM

Make that another old-timer checking in.

ELLEN! Hi! Catch us up!!

Hey Brandon! - hockey season is upon us and the Sharks are hanging in...hope to see the Cup in San Jose this year. My little guy (he's 10 now) is playing hockey again and we love it.

Miss Cali is 16 and too beautiful for her own damn good (not that I'm biased or anything). Mr. Cali has the shotgun out by the door. She's going for her 2nd degree black belt and hopes to get hired on at the karate studio where she goes. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

As for me, well, I'm just getting more gray hairs dealing with life, but it's all good.

Wait, Ellen is pregnant again? Has she passed me yet?

Life is grand out in the lovely midwest, the farmers are charming. Kids are doing all the normal crap you would expect and now I have to leave early to hand out candy to little guttersnipes begging for sugar at my door. Does anyone know where to get one of those "Hound of the Baskervilles" kind of dogs? That might lessen the number of visitors next year...

You should borrow my neighbors pit bull & rottweiler. We can't even enjoy our new backyard, fearing they'll jump over or knock down the fence.

Hey, it's baby number 2. He was just born on Wednesday, Nov. 15 @ 11:06pm. Noah Kai is a happy healthy baby. And he's farting up a storm right now....stiiinnkkyy!!!!

Cali, I knew your girl was gonna be a heartbreaker when I saw how tall and beautiful she was 4 yrs ago. Yup, that would mean my little girl, Lily, is turning 4 yrs old. Time seriously has flown. Mike is working as an OT at the local hospital nearby and I have the blessed opportunity to stay home and watch my kids grow up. And with the housing slump the way it is, we should be buying a 4 bedroom house very soon. We're all very thankful.

So where's the other old-timers? Is Noah gonna turn 2 before everyone checks in?

I just got back from Minneapolis visiting ISOJ and sunshinegirl for the a bitterly cold and mostly drunken time. I highly suggest drinking yourself to some false sense of warmth when in the land of 10,000 lakes.

And I just saw Nikki last night...everybody seems to be alive and kicking.

Hope everybody has a great holiday...don't accept any pox-laden blankets from the settlers.

Cali_1 · Nov 20th, 2006, 11:58 PM

Ellen...Congrats on the new one! So wonderful to hear everything went well.

Hey ig. nice to hear from you as well, and glad to hear the Minnesotans are doing ok, as is Nikki.

Now we need a few more of the oldies to do a drive by...

My son is on a school marching band trip to Disney in Orlando this week...its not getting out of the 50's today and they have a wind chill...it looks like it may hit 60 tomorrow.Things are looking up for Friday...the day they head home....high 70's after that. I'm sure that the kids are still having a good time despite the weather but I hate that they've waited 4 years for this trip and then get unseasonally cold weather. I sure hope they're not using iggys method of keeping warm...lol
