Here are mine:

Rant: In-laws are coming. We just moved into our new apartment. Wish they had maybe planned another time.

Rave: In-laws are coming. And taking us to a Braves game tonight. Every cloud has a silver lining. I really do love them!

Additional Rave: Husband bought me a ticket to the Braves Power Lunch at Maggiano's. Get to see my hero Julio Franco up close! WOO HOO!

P_M May 27th, 2005 05:00 AM

Rave: Leaving for the UK tomorrow!! WOOHOO, the day is finally here!!

Rant: Last minute packing and panic attacks.

Rave: Escaping the Texas heat and spending 2 weeks in a cooler climate.

Rant: The doggie-sitter came over last night to pick up our dog. We miss her already. :-((

Rave: We're lucky to have good doggie-sitters so she doesn't have to be boarded.

Rave: Leaving for the UK tomorrow. YIPPEE!!

(I know I said that one already, but it can't be over-emphasized!!)

Happy Memorial Day weekend all!!

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, all you Fodorites!

Have a fabulous trip to the U.K., P_M!

doc_ May 27th, 2005 05:07 AM

Rave: Tired of Boston weather, so I'm flying the family to Orlando for the Weekend.

Rant: Expedia. A plethora of miscue's on their part with booking. My computer was down so I called them to book the trip, they took it upon themselves to NOT issue my one year old a ticket. Their excuse was that" He didn't need one until he is two". Lesson learned is to never book via phone with expedia. If I had done it on line, at least I know it it would be my error.

BjorkChop May 27th, 2005 05:12 AM

Rave: Leaving for Jamaica in four weeks!

Rant: Getting sucked back into Star Wars after 25 years.

Rave: Getting sucked back into Star Wars after 25 years.

Congratulations, BjorkChop, on losing those pounds! :-)

Tess May 27th, 2005 05:15 AM

Rave: Summer vacation starts today for my kids--now that they're older, I actually look forward to breaks, when we see them at least a LITTLE more!

Rave: I'm so proud of the wonderful people my two teens are becoming--watching their transformation into adulthood is humbling, to say the least

Rave: Dance recital tonight for DD, soccer tournament tomorrow for DS

Rant: DH has some sort of wretched sore throat/cloggy nose and throat thing and may miss both events :-(

Big Rant: to the brave men and women that we're celebrating this weekend--thank you!

Happy Memorial Weekend everyone--travel safe!


china_cat May 27th, 2005 05:15 AM

rant: Boston weather has really sucked for a month now, and there is no end in sight

rant: Red Sox lost again last night :-(

rave: at least its almost the long weekend, and since its raining I just can't do my yard work :-)


Wednesday May 27th, 2005 05:16 AM

Rave: Working from home, just got a raise, can begin to save to move next year anywhere I want to

Rant: I have no idea where I want to move...want to go out west, someplace fairly artsy not so humid as where I am now...looking at everyplace from Taos, NM to Sandpointe, ID...

P_M May 27th, 2005 05:29 AM

Thank you, bonniebroad!!

More raves: Two grandchildren (8 and 12) will be with us next week. We're getting the fishing and ski boats ready.

We had a great spur-of-the-moment trip to New Orleans Monday to Wednesday. So much good food!
