well, those are not "normal" pockets, so it doesnt count
I usually wear cargo bermudas with velcro pockets. But I hate feeling my phone wobble up and down badly. So I never put important stuff in these pockets

My dh has a whole stack of cargo shorts mostly for get aways, he's currently in search of a bum bag for our next trip as his Travelon man bag has seen better days. He says the cargos are great for some things but not the camera or phone. We're going to be in the 90s all week and my dh refuses to wear shorts to work even though he can, something about pasty white chicken legs

Had plans with my friend. She just left a few minutes ago. We were out this morning and then brought back lunch and were just chilling over here. We hardly get to see one another during the semester between my school schedule and her work schedule, so this is our opportunity to spend time together. Actually, I've been getting up between 8-9 pretty much every day. Last night, I fell asleep at 11:30.

Hershey was great! I was worn out on Saturday and walking around like a zombie, but it was a great day. Mid 80s temperature wise, low humidity, and the lines were pretty short. Longest we waited was 45 minutes for the newest rollercoaster; everything else was 30 minutes or less. And we brought home lots of chocolate.

One thing I always loved about Hershey was the lines never seemed to get way to long and chocolate! Did you get to the zoo?

If I hadn't found cargo shorts I'd still be wearin' my f a n n y pack...fashion police be darned.
I just actually like the cargo shorts better.

LOL They're back in style. Just goes to prove if you wait long enough it all comes back! So you're either current or retro, it's all good!

 

[Figgy1]

My sentiments exactly! After no work for 3 weeks, it was soooo difficult getting up this morning.

Sympathy like!

Cool, there is a God. I haven't stepped foot in a McDonalds in over 20 years now. It amazes me how they're so popular when their food is so c.r.a.p.p.y.

Mc D's coffee isn't the greatest, but on 95 it's safe. I'll probably grab a cup or 3 next trip LOL

Can I say just how ECSTATIC I am??!!! Kudos to the mayor of Boston today, who refused to sign a document that would have backed his approval for the 2024 Olympics to come to the city! He said that not one dollar of taxpayer dollars would go into any overruns or miscalculations by the group(s) in charge. Basically, he listened to the state's residents--40% or less wanted the Olympics here. (The Olympic Committee won't even consider a venue that has less than 68% of the residents in approval.)

But for me and all my colleagues at work, it wasn't even so much the money, but the commuting nightmare that a major international event like this, would bring to an already over-crowded city, highways, etc. Rush hours around here are a nightmare to begin with.

I'll never forget the roadblocks, etc. when Boston hosted the 2004 Democratic National Convention. That made a commuting mess of the city, and you figure that's not even close to the size and scope of hosting the Olympics.

Oh happy day!!! No Olympics in Boston!!

Congrats! Boston is already bad enough traffic wise!

Must be something wrong with me--I rather like lumpy potatoes!!

Me to, you're not alone! Lumpy, smooth, baked, fried, boiled! I love my taters! I keep hearing they make you fat, LOL I eat them and salads when I need to lose a pound or 3.

 

[Figgy1]

I like McDonald's Fries and McGriddles and that is about it.

I live under a rock! What's a McGriddle?

If there is another thunderstorm in the middle of the night that wakes my almost 2 year old baby boy and scares him I think I am going to lose my mind.

Tell me about it! I'm not 2 and don't like getting woken up by them!!!!!!!!!! Your little boy is very cute!

Our kids can't start until September 1st or after Labor Day (which ever is first), but our in-service is the last week of August. I teach older kids so I don't have as much room set up as elementary. I will probably go in to my room in a couple weeks and unpack the stuff I ordered at the end of last year.

My boys are going back August 31. Champagne time! After the last few years my district added in extra snow days! Last time that happened we used 0 snow days and my boys got a few 1/2 day Fridays. I'm hoping we get lucky again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I keep trying to find a subliminal message spelled out in the tree limbs.

I'm trying to find leaves

 

[Figgy1]

You'll miss these days. Trust me.

Speaking from experience? LOL There are some things I miss from that age and some I don't. Except for the food bill I don't mind my boys most days! And they are really good at lawn moving and snow removal, hoping I won't need their skills for that latter any time soon.!

 

[Figgy1]

Speaking of ice cream, I was so hoping to try the Ice Cream Martini at Epcot, but just didn't get the opportunity.

Sympathy like!

Sounds good. I didn't even know that existed.

 

[Figgy1]

Me either until a few weeks before our trip! I will definitely get it on the next one, though. Hopefully it'll still be there.

Seeing it's a popular place I'm thinking it's a safe bet it will be there for years to come!

 

[Figgy1]

I'm hoping it's there for you too. My daughter and her friend are going in December so maybe my daughter's friend will try it. My daughter won't yet be 21.

They do have ice cream and sorbet for those under 21

 

[Figgy1]

I don't allow my baby boy to sleep in the bed with us either unless it is really a terrible thunderstorm like the other night when lightening struck a tree on the hill behind our backyard. That had to be the loudest boom I have ever heard in my life.

Sympathy like!

I mean that would be awesome to have his club because he had everything one could ever need. Kind of like the Harlem Globetrotter cartoon where the guy carried everything in his afro.

but you would need factory sized shampoos everyday! :O

 

[Cesar R M]

Although I suppose consuming 26 grams of sugar before going to bed is probably not a good idea.

you could use the boost to do something productive. Like singing the national anthem 26 times

 

[Figgy1]

Good morning @Cesar R M I love the new avatar!

 

[Cesar R M]

I feel your pain. I'm always sad when I leave. But I'm glad you have snacks to enjoy! For me, the way I remember my trip is by buying Disney cups and mugs that I use everyday.

Heresy! I treasure my cups, no way I'm going to stain them by using them.
