Well, my vacation is looking less and less likely. Much disappoint.

That sucks, but you'll be safer not going. IDK if you shared, but will you be refunded for any of the trip?

They will refund for whatever days they are evacuated. So if they evacuate Mon-Thurs, my parents could file a claim under the trip insurance to get refunded for 3/7 of the trip. The house was $1,800 for the week, which isn't crazy expensive, but my parents are still looking at $750-$1,000 loss. I have until Thursday at 3 to cancel the hotel for Friday night. I just hope my dad doesn't say let's start heading down there and see. What a fucking nightmare that would be. If they know its going to hit OBX (which is most likely will), then  I hope they start evacuations early so we don't have to guess. We'd probably do a bunch of day trips and may stay over a few nights somewhere around the state. It's just not the same as a week-long beach vacation. There will be no time for us all to reschedule either. My dad has to request time off months in advance and my assistant will be on maternity leave very soon so I can't leave without her here. Sorry, pity party, party of 1 over here.

That's such a bummer Pizzaslut. Definitely contact the realty company you're renting from in addition to the travel insurance agency— they may be able to refund you for the remainder of the week if you need to be evacuated for the majority of time. Worth an ask at least.

[CestLaVie]

Pizzaslut, that really sucks.

I really hope this hurricane dissipates or stays over water only for all of you guys over there.

[RunsforWineandCarbs]

I'm sorry Pizzaslut! That really sucks. Have you all looked at any other beaches?

They seem to all be in the path. Unless we went to the West Coast but that's too expensive. We'd have to wait and see if any part is missed. I think it's too soon to try to book anything.

I hope your parents are ok there! Do they have somewhere to go if they need to evacuate?

because humor is healthy (so i've heard)

This was floating around a while back when Banff, AB (Canada) experienced an earthquake a few years back. Humor works for some.

[45thparallel]

That really sucks about your vacation Pizzaslut. If they are unable to get a money back is it an option to reschedule to a later date?

[RunsforWineandCarbs]

45thparallel, yes - we floridians use that lawn chair meme when the hurricanes turn out to be nothing.

[avocadotoast]

So I've known for a couple months that my sister's BF is going to propose. He consulted me on the ring, but it was going to take a few weeks for the stone to come in and then he was working out of town for like 6 weeks... so I've been keeping the secret (obviously I told H). But he just texted me yesterday and asked me to take her out to brunch on Saturday morning to get her out of the house, she doesn't know he's coming home a few days early... it's going dooowwwn!!

Not really. My dad has to schedule vacation far in advance and my assistant will be on maternity leave very soon and we are going through a software conversion so there will be no time off for me until like Christmas.

[CestLaVie]

that is so exciting!!!

I've been waiting for my brother to propose too. Haha you are amazing for keeping the secret so long!

[avocadotoast]

RunsforWineandCarbs I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this hurricane crap! So scary. It sounds like you're really prepared though!!

Pizzaslut sorry about your vaycay . Come to Canada... no chance of hurricanes.

I still need to catch up! Why are you all eastern time zoners?

[jess213]

All the good thoughts to the ladies in Florida, stay safe! Sorry about your vacation Pizzaslut
skinandbones I hate those gym posts. And I hate them even more when it's from someone who clearly has tons of free time and decides to spend some of it casting stones. Ugh.

jedi how are you holding up? I saw the 1st day pics on FB, I didn't see any tears! Yay!

[Betweenthelines]

I JUST CRACKED MY MFING PHONE SCREEN. I'm about to flip some tables.

Never in my life has this happened to me.

[45thparallel]

Betweenthelines alllll the sorries. I broke 2 back to back (in a matter of 24 hours). It was the worst and my heart rate still speeds up when I think about it. Makes me rage at myself.

[jedi]

@booarouge through our school district. They fill up fast here. So if you missed it start calling early December about registering. We try to keep the curtains closed. She still crawls behind.

[jedi]

I have not cried today. I'm impressed. It helped that s1 was so excited when he woke up. Grinning from ear to ear.





E and I went to our class then an open gymnastics thing. Now he's napping and I'm going to try to sneak a workout in.

Have done- it was in my back pocket (in a case) and I squatted down.

They'll be ok– they're headed to Jersey!

Spoiler I didn't workout.

[coconutbacon]

Betweenthelines, that totally sucks. Earlier this year, I had mine out of my case briefly, and of course that's when P got a hold of it and dropped it onto the bricks of our (closed off) fireplace. My screen was completely shattered. Have you gotten an estimate from a screen repair place? I think I ended up paying about $80 to get mine replaced– not awesome, but way cheaper than a new phone.

I down own the phone and was actually planning on using my Jump this freaking month to upgrade. They said I can bring it to TMobile, pay the deductible and then just use my jump for a new phone.
